Chapter 82 Deceiving to Reveal the Truth
Shangwu has already started the car.
Chenmian's expression tightened, and without thinking, she chased after him.
"etc!"
She frantically patted the car window, afraid that Shang Wu would just leave like that.
Shang Wu rolled down the car window and stared at her expressionlessly.
"Is there anything else?"
Chenmian gritted her teeth, her face extremely pale.
She gave Shang Wu a deep look and asked, "What exactly do you mean? Explain yourself clearly. What were you implying just now? If my child isn't Zhou Yanci's, whose is it?"
Shang Wu gave a half-smile.
"You look like you have a guilty conscience. As for how the child came to be, only you know the answer. Don't ask me."
She leaned back lazily in the car seat, her fingertips lightly tapping the steering wheel.
The more composed and calm she seemed, the more nervous Chenmian became: "Shang Wu, what exactly do you know?"
Shang Wu grew impatient: "I know everything. Don't cause trouble. If you dare to ruin my plans, not only will our plans be canceled, but you will also be doomed. You should know what will happen if Zhou Yanci finds out that this child is not his."
She raised an eyebrow, suppressing her slumber.
Chenmian swallowed hard.
She didn't understand why Shang Wu knew about this.
Clearly, only she and that person knew about this; there was no third person involved.
Even if Shangwu wanted to investigate, there was no way to do so.
The more she thought about it, the paler her face became.
She blurted out, "Shang Wu, you must keep this secret for me, or I'll drag you down with me."
"Tsk, your secret is exactly the same as what I thought." Shang Wu took a document from the chair.
Chenmian was taken aback: "What do you mean?"
Shang Wu threw the documents at her and walked away.
The document hit Shen Mian and fell to the ground.
Chenmian hurriedly picked it up, and after reading it, her face turned even paler, and she trembled with anger.
She never expected that this would actually be Zhou Yanci's medical examination report.
The medical examination report showed that Zhou Yanci had asthenospermia, and the probability of her getting pregnant was not high.
His eyes were filled with regret as he slept.
How could she be so stupid!
Originally, Shang Wu was not sure if the child was Zhou Yanci's, and she didn't have any substantial evidence against him.
But she acted as if she knew everything, to the point that in her panic, she directly admitted that the child was not Zhou Yanci's.
He couldn't help but feel angry at himself while he was asleep.
However, it's no use saying anything now.
Shang Wu held the biggest leverage over her, and she really couldn't swallow this insult.
We need to come up with a plan, and we also need to find something to hold over Shang Wu.
Chenmian turned around and made a phone call.
...
The next day, Shang Wu went back to work.
She had just arrived at the company when she saw Aying waiting for her.
Aying quickly went up to him: "President Shang, Attorney Lu said he would come over today to handle some matters. I just saw an anonymous email in your inbox. The email only had a few names on it, and I don't know what it is."
Shang Wu's breathing hitched slightly, then she immediately became serious: "Are you sure? There are only a few names?"
Last night, she received the news that Wang Qizheng's daughter had successfully transferred schools.
“Yes,” A-Ying replied.
Shang Wu strode into the office.
She opened the email and saw several names of the inspectors inside.
We've got the personnel list!
Shang Wu picked up her phone, contacted the hackers, and asked them to find the detailed information of these people as soon as possible, and waited for the information to be sent over.
Half an hour later, the hacker found the information and sent it to Shang Wu's mobile phone.
Shang Wu discovered that these people were all inspectors with very rich resumes, but they all had one thing in common: they all came from the same university.
That university was also Zhou Yanci's target school.
These people are from the law department and are Zhou Yanci's senior classmates.
As expected, those whom Zhou Yanci could use were all people he trusted.
Just like Li Chengzhang back then, if they weren't related, Zhou Yanci probably wouldn't have gone out of her way to find someone and scheme to harm her brother.
As Shang Wu was thinking, there was a knock on the office door.
She looked up and saw Lu Rang coming over, and was stunned for a moment.
Three days later, Lu Rang looked thinner, with a calm yet sharp gaze, and seemed even more unapproachable than before.
Shang Wu slightly curled her lips and said calmly, "Come and take a look. Wang Qizheng has already sent over the list. Here are the information of several inspectors."
Lu Rang walked over and saw the contents of the document, but she didn't mention anything about yesterday.
After reading the documents, his eyes grew increasingly sharp, and his expression became solemn.
Shang Wu asked, puzzled, "What's wrong with you?"
“These people and Zhou Yanci must have been in cahoots long ago. When your family was prosecuted, they were the ones providing evidence for all parties to review. They held the source of the evidence chain, which shows that all the case materials are fake.”
Lu Rang looked down at her: "The whole thing was faked. No matter who wants to investigate the Shang family case, the information they get will only be what's on the surface. It's extremely difficult to overturn the case based on the slightest clues."
The hundreds of people involved in the case received all the wrong information about the business.
How can we get close to the truth when real evidence is monopolized and impossible to verify?
Lu Rang remained silent for a moment.
He originally thought that the merchant case was just a case involving a large number of people.
But now it seems that's not the case at all.
This chain of evidence is exceptionally well-crafted.
Even if they knew it was fake, there was no way they could recant their testimony.
Seeing that he remained silent for a long time, Shang Wu keenly sensed his thoughts.
"Is this matter difficult to handle? What if Ji Yu and Li Chengzhang come out to expose Zhou Yanci?"
Lu Rang gave her a deep look: "We need evidence. Witnesses without evidence are not convincing unless Zhou Yanci and these inspectors get together and admit that the evidence is fabricated."
Shang Wu fell silent after hearing this.
She pressed her lips tightly together, unable to utter a single word.
Seeing that she remained silent, Lu Rang also frowned and fell into thought.
Currently, there is no way to find a breakthrough from the inspectors.
Shang Wu pushed her laptop onto the table, exhaled, and suppressed her emotions.
"It seems I still need to keep getting close to Zhou Yanci, but how can I get him to reconnect with that group of people from back then?"
Zhou Yanci and these people probably haven't been in contact for a long time, in order to protect themselves and conceal their identities from each other.
Lu Rang remained silent for a long time.
Shang Wu's mood was equally heavy.
The process, which had been going smoothly, suddenly stalled at this point.
In addition to Zhou Yanci personally contacting these senior brothers again to discuss the business case and being recorded.
Otherwise, they have no way of proving that these people colluded to harm businesses, starting with the chain of evidence.
What's this?
Did all our efforts come to naught?
Shang Wu's heart pounded, and he stood up.
"The case must be overturned. Even if I have taken control of Chengzhou and recovered the merchants' property and resources that Zhou Yanci plundered, it's not enough! Zhou Yanci must go to jail!"
Lu Rang turned around and poured her a glass of water: "I know, have some water first."
Shang Wu pushed away the water he offered, saying each word slowly and deliberately, "He's the one who caused our Shang family to become like this; he can't escape!"
Zhou Yanci has to compensate her brother for his ruined life.
Zhou Yanci must compensate for the hard work her parents sacrificed.
Just one step away.
Just one step away!
Shang Wu slammed her fist on the table in anger, her knuckles turning red and swollen.
Lu Rang frowned and took her hand in his.
"Calm down."
Shang Wu looked at him and said, "I can't calm down. I don't want to talk to Zhou Yanci anymore. Do you know how disgusted I feel every time I see him?"
Instead of calming down, she became increasingly anxious.
Lu Rang immediately raised his hand and touched her cold neck.
His palm pressed tightly against the back of Shang Wu's neck, transmitting its burning heat.
Shang Wu then regained some of her composure and looked up.
"Lu Rang".
Lu Rang lowered his eyes and stared intently at her, saying each word clearly, "Trust me, okay? I'll help you figure something out."
Shang Wu shook his head.
"What other options are there? This is the only path we can take now, but given Zhou Yanci's suspicious nature, if I mention anyone on the inspection list, he'll definitely feel guilty and start to suspect something."
There was no reason why she would guide Zhou Yanci to contact these people.
Shang Wu felt it was as difficult as climbing to the sky.
She had never even met any of these people.
To avoid suspicion, business owners were not allowed to interfere with the handling of the case or get close to the inspectors.
She didn't even know the inspectors' names. If she guided Zhou Yanci to contact them now, Zhou Yanci would immediately suspect her without hesitation.
Seeing Shang Wu's face growing paler and paler, Lu Rang's fingertips curled up.
He usually has a tough time during these few days every year, but this year he got through them very easily.
When he went into hiding, someone found him for the first time.
When he needed a helping hand, Shang Wu pulled him along.
Now it's his turn to do something.
"Shangwu, don't be afraid."
Lu Rang emphasized, "Do you believe me?"
Shang Wu looked up at him, "I believe you, of course I believe you. I've never doubted your abilities, it's just..."
"Then wait for me to come back, I'll help you." Lu Rang interrupted her, placing the documents in his hand on the table.
"This is the work that needs to be done this afternoon. You can hand it over to the legal team first. I won't be back until tomorrow."
"Tomorrow? What are you going to do?" Shang Wu subconsciously picked up the documents he was handing over, feeling uneasy.
Lu Rang gave her a deep look.
"don’t worry."
"Lu Rang? Lu Rang!"
Shang Wu called out to him instinctively.
But Lu Rang left without looking back.
Shang Wu frowned, a hint of unease creeping in.
She always felt that the places Lu Rang was going to go and the things he was going to do next would cost him a lot.
