Chapter 320: They are all cold-blooded and cruel executioners!
"Secretary Ge?"
Han Xu's eyes darted around, and he immediately remembered that Madam Chen had a special assistant surnamed Ge. He then understood the situation.
The reason he was able to connect the dots so quickly was not because he was particularly prescient, but because when he learned of Su Xier's accident, he had already guessed that the mastermind was someone from the Shen family!
But how could Han Xu possibly pay the bill just because he caught such a small fry?
What Mr. Xie asked him to do was to lure out the big fish behind the scenes!
His face darkened. "Burning newspapers on a grave? Are you kidding me? Just this random woman surnamed Ge, and you're willing to take on such a huge burden, keeping your mouth shut so tight, even if it means spending your life in jail?"
Liang Jie, having been seen through, felt completely naked in front of Han Xu, embarrassed and terrified.
"Look, you know our CEO Xie doesn't give people opportunities easily. Do you really think offending CEO Xie will lead to a better outcome than offending the person behind you?"
Liang Jie was completely defeated.
He had thought that by bringing up Assistant Ge, he could fool the man in front of him, but he hadn't expected him to be so difficult to deal with. He completely admitted defeat and hung his head in despair.
"The people who want to harm Miss Su... are the Shen family."
"Hmph, I knew it all along." Han Xu scoffed coldly, but under the table, he had already turned on the recorder.
“I have served the Shen family for many years. My father used to be Mr. Shen’s bodyguard. He was injured in the line of duty and passed away not long after… Mr. Shen gave our family a large sum of compensation, bought us a new house, and placed my mother in a very nice sanatorium in Haicheng. My mother and I did not resent Mr. Shen at all. On the contrary, we were very grateful to him. So when I grew up, I also began to work for the Shen family… Over the years, I have secretly helped Mr. and Mrs. Shen deal with many troubles… I am also trying to repay the Shen family for their kindness to me…”
Han Xu laughed. "The favor they owe you? They were just trying to buy you off with money so you'd be their loyal henchman. If they really cared about you, how could they send you to kill someone? Kill someone, teacher? Do you think it's like sending you to the zoo to feed the monkeys?"
Liang Jie: "…………"
"So, who instructed you, Chairman Shen or Madam Shen?" Han Xu pressed for details.
Moreover, this matter is very important.
"The mission... was given by Assistant Ge, and I was just following orders. But Assistant Ge is Madam Shen's man, so I suppose... it was Madam Shen's idea. After all, Mr. Shen is Madam Shen's only son, and she hopes to find him a daughter from a wealthy family, someone of equal social standing, who can help the Shen family... I can understand that..."
"You actually understand?! They sent you to kill someone, they put you in this mess, and you're still defending her? You're seriously sick!"
Han Xu was furious and felt like jumping up and hitting him. "Miss Su may not have a good background, but so what? She is beautiful, kind, sincere, and capable of making a living! She is a thousand times better than those delicate flowers raised in a greenhouse! It's you snobs who can't recognize a gem!"
"Without Miss Su, you'd all be ashes by now, and you wouldn't have the glory you have today! You're all insane, a family of bloodsucking capitalists, heartless, cold-blooded, cruel executioners!"
Every word is precious, powerful, and deeply moving.
Liang Jie lowered his head in shame.
...
Night falls at the Shen family mansion.
Madam Shen paced back and forth in the room, restless and uneasy.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
“Madam, it’s me.” It was Assistant Ger’s voice.
Madam Shen hurriedly said, "Come in!"
Assistant Ge slipped inside, closed the door tightly, and looked grave.
"Madam, something terrible has happened! Liang Jie has been arrested by the police!"
"What?!"
Madam Shen's vision blurred. "Isn't he supposed to be reliable? How could he be so careless?!"
Assistant Ge was also very anxious, "I don't know how he was exposed, but in any case, the mission failed, and Su Xi'er is not dead!"
"Damn it! What a useless piece of trash! The Shen family has wasted their time raising him!"
Madam Shen gripped Assistant Ge's arm tightly, asking nervously, "He...he won't say anything inappropriate in front of the police and identify us, will he?!"
"No, madam, don't worry. His mother's life is in our hands; he won't talk nonsense."
Assistant Ge lowered his voice, "However, since we failed this time, it will be difficult for us to touch that girl again next time."
"Oh well, what can we do? We can only look for another opportunity..."
Before he could finish speaking, there was another urgent knock on the door.
"What is it?!" Madam Shen's tone was full of impatience.
"Madam! Young Master is back. Something's not right downstairs. Please come down and check on him!"
