Zhu Qianying knew more about Zhu Haoming than Zhu Junwei.
Therefore, when she heard Uncle Hai mention Zhu Haoming, she vaguely guessed the purpose of his visit.
Whether her guess was correct or not remains to be seen, pending Yan Shao's phone call.
Normally, Yan Shao would never call Zhu Haoming, but considering that the other party probably had something important to tell him, and that this important matter was very likely related to Zai Zai.
Yan Shao, abandoning his usual arrogance, took the initiative to dial Zhu Haoming's number.
Young Master Yan was using speakerphone, so as soon as the call connected, Zhu Qianying heard Zhu Haoming's voice come through, "Hello, Young Master Yan, this is Zhu Haoming."
"Hmm, is something the matter?"
Young Master Yan did make the call, but he still maintained his usual airs.
As for his gentle and easygoing side, only his family members are entitled to enjoy and see it.
“I’ve been following Zhu Junwei around lately and have learned quite a few of his secrets. Young Master Yan, would you be interested in hearing them?”
Yan Shao and Zhu Qianying exchanged a meaningful glance; indeed, it was about this matter.
"Speak!" Young Master Yan said sparingly, his tone cold.
"Uh..." Clearly, Zhu Haoming hadn't expected such a cold reception. He stammered for a moment, then said, "Before I speak, could I ask Young Master Yan for a favor?"
Yan Shao snorted coldly, "I don't think you have the right or the room to choose!"
Yan Shao hated it most when people tried to negotiate with him, and most importantly, he knew that Zhu Haoming was already at his wit's end, otherwise he wouldn't have chosen this way to make the exchange.
There was another silence on the other end of the phone. "Alright... I hope that after Young Master Yan has listened to and read this, he will seriously consider my request."
This time, Young Master Yan agreed more readily, "Yes, that's fine!"
Zhu Haoming then began speaking on the other end of the phone. Yan Shao and Zhu Qianying held their breath, listening to every word he said. Moreover, Yan Shao cleverly recorded the conversation.
After Zhu Haoming finished speaking, Yan Shao remained silent for a while before saying, "What you said is indeed quite valuable. However, words are not enough. Besides, are you willing to put aside your own family and testify in court?"
Zhu Haoming seemed to have anticipated Yan Shao's reaction, and after a moment of silence, he said, "As long as Yan Shao can protect my family, I am willing to testify in court. Moreover, I have some relevant surveillance videos, which may not be of much value to me, but Yan Shao may not see them as valuable."
A glint flashed in Yan Shao's and Zhu Qianying's eyes at the same time. "Alright, send me the video. If I think it's useful, I'll grant you all the requests you just made. Not only that, I'll also help you out."
When Yan Shao offered to lend a helping hand, he was naturally referring to Zhu Haoming's awkward situation with the Song family at that moment.
"Thank you, Young Master Yan, I'll send you the video right away!" Zhu Haoming's tone was full of joy; clearly, he hadn't expected Young Master Yan to be so generous.
The video sent by Zhu Haoming was very long, and it was obvious at a glance that it was pieced together and edited from different time periods.
Yan Shao and Zhu Qianying only had time to watch the beginning before Uncle Hai knocked on the door to call them for dinner.
After dinner, Zizai accompanied the two elders and Xingxing for a walk. Yan Shao and Zhu Qianying returned to the study and watched the video carefully once more.
Finally, Yan Shao sent Zhu Haoming a message: "Deal!"
...
Monday noon, L City Central Hospital.
Zhu Junwei, who had just returned to the ward after accompanying his parents to check their injuries, heard someone knocking on the door. He assumed it was a nurse and, without looking up, said, "Come in!"
The door was pushed open, and the sound of neat and powerful footsteps came. Zhu Junwei sensed something was wrong and looked up to see several police officers in uniform.
"Mr. Chu Chun-wei, we now suspect you are involved in a premeditated murder case. Please come with us to the police station to assist with the investigation!"
Startled, Zhu Junwei quickly realized what was happening and turned to run off the balcony. However, the police officer was faster and stepped forward to grab his arms behind his back as he turned.
Zhu Zhizhou and Zhu Shaofen, who were in the hospital bed, were unaware that their beloved son had been taken away by the police because they had just been given sedatives.
After waking up and hearing the nurse's account of what had happened, the two of them broke down in tears in the ward, completely losing their composure.
That afternoon, major media outlets in L City reported that Zhu Junwei, president of Mingxuan Group, had been taken away by the police on suspicion of murder, and attached photos of the police leading Zhu Junwei out of the hospital.
As soon as the report was published, Mingxuan Group's stock price plummeted, and it hit the daily limit down that afternoon.
Meanwhile, Mingxuan Group was in complete chaos due to the lack of leadership.
Zhu Zhizhou and Zhu Shaofen are still in the hospital. Zhu Junwei has been taken away by the police. Zhu Haoming submitted his resignation a few days ago. Zhu Junzhao is still serving his sentence in prison. Zhu Haokang is still abroad. As for the Zhu family's daughters, they are all pampered young ladies who only know how to eat, drink, and have fun. They are not usually able to be entrusted with important responsibilities. In this critical moment, these daughters only know how to hug each other and cry!
Of course, besides that, there are other members of the Zhu family who can shoulder heavy responsibilities in times of crisis. However, the only one who can shoulder such responsibilities, Zhu Qianying, no longer considers herself a member of the Zhu family.
Moreover, at this moment, she happened to be standing on the opposite side of Zhu Junwei.
Therefore, it was already merciful of her not to kick someone when they were down, let alone ask her to return to Mingxuan Group to save the company.
Few people really care what case Zhu Junwei is involved in. What everyone cares about is whether the Zhu family is really going to fall this time.
The directors of Mingxuan Group were not concerned about whether the Zhu family was going to collapse; what they cared about was that Mingxuan Group must not collapse.
That afternoon, the Yanhuang Group welcomed a group of guests who all expressed their desire to see Young Master Yan and Zhu Qianying.
These guests were the directors of Mingxuan Group.
Zhu Qianying was busy with her own things in Yan Shao's office at the time. When she heard Yan Shao's message, a mysterious smile appeared on her face.
"Ying'er, do you want to see them?"
Zhu Qianying smiled slightly, "Let's see. Anyway, it's time to see how skilled these old ministers are at their ****."
There was a time when she didn't even have the right to stand in front of these people, but now they have to turn around and kneel down to beg her.
This feeling should be really great.
However, when the safety of her beloved son is taken as the price, this feeling takes a turn for the worse.
"Okay, I'll go with you!"
Yan Shao instructed the receptionist to invite the board members of Mingxuan Group to the meeting room downstairs, while he and Zhu Qianying deliberately finished their respective tasks slowly on the top floor. About half an hour later, the two of them walked into the meeting room together.
"Young Master Yan, Fifth Miss!"
The board members who used to look down on Zhu Qianying are now extremely respectful!
"Hmm..." Zhu Qianying responded lightly, and then walked with Yan Shao to the chairman's seat and sat down.
"Uncles and elders, I suppose I have little interaction with you. What brings you here today?" Zhu Qianying pretended to be clueless.
