Chapter 78 Wen Yue's Attitude
Wen Yue thought Wen Rongsheng would choose one of the three, but in fact he chose two of the three.
He planned to hand over the information he found to the police, and at the same time arrange for someone to go to the UK to capture Xu Meifeng, so that he could kill Hou Xin and convict Xu Meifeng at the same time.
But before he took action, he received a call from Wen Yue.
Wen Yue said that she had been investigating Hou Xin and Xu Meifeng in the past few days after visiting him, and by chance she got some evidence of their conspiracy, and wanted to talk to him.
Wen Rongsheng was stunned after hearing this. He had found several detectives and received evidence sent by a mysterious person. Up to now, he could only prove that Hou Xin and Xu Meifeng knew each other, but Wen Yue had already found evidence of their conspiracy?
Although he was suspicious, Wen Rongsheng really wanted to see the evidence in Wen Yue's hand, so he said, "I also found out something and was just about to tell you." He
hesitated after saying that.
In the past, whenever he wanted to talk about something, Wen Rongsheng would always let Wen Yue go home for dinner.
At that time, he never suspected his family, not to mention that the study was well soundproofed. As long as they didn't shout in there, no sound could be heard from outside.
But after knowing Xu Meifeng's true face, Wen Rongsheng no longer dared to trust these women around him, and his daughter was no exception.
Wen Jiaqi was okay. So far, the detectives investigating Chen Baoqin have not found out that she knew Hou Xin, but Wen Jiaxin is Xu Meifeng's biological daughter. If she knew something, she might call the UK to inform on them.
This is also the main reason why Wen Rongsheng asked his assistant to do this and told the detective to send the investigation report directly to the company.
For him now, the company can give him a greater sense of security.
So for a while, Wen Rongsheng didn't know where to ask Wen Yue to discuss this matter, or to call people to the company directly? Before
Wen Rongsheng opened his mouth, Wen Yue spoke first and asked him to go to her place for dinner in the evening.
Wen Yue got off work as usual in the evening. When he got home, Wen Rongsheng hadn't come yet, and Yi Huai hadn't come home either.
They moved to a new residence some time ago, and now they live in the villa with an indoor heated swimming pool that Yi Huai mentioned before. The house is closer to Lirong Department Store.
After waiting at home for about twenty minutes, Wen Rongsheng and Yi Huai arrived one after another.
The three of them moved to the restaurant.
Dinner was similar to usual, except that two dishes were added because of the addition of Wen Rongsheng, and the level of luxury could not be compared with that of the Wen family. It was obvious that Wen Rongsheng did not really come to eat, and he ate the meal absent-mindedly.
After dinner, the father and daughter went to the study.
"You..."
Although Wen Rongsheng thought that Wen Yue must know that the matter was related to Xu Meifeng when he received Wen Yue's call in the afternoon, but when he entered the study and faced Wen Yue alone, Wen Rongsheng was still a little hesitant and didn't know how to start for a while.
Wen Yue didn't have any scruples. After all, it was Wen Rongsheng who let the wolf into the house, and it was Wen Rongsheng who needed to be held responsible for the death of Wen Kai. What she was doing now was to avenge Wen Kai, so what was there to be scruples about!
So Wen Yue spoke first: "What did you find out?"
"I found out..." Wen Rongsheng opened the file bag in his hand and handed the photos and detective's investigation report to Wen Yue one by one, "The bandit leader Hou Xin who kidnapped Zhou Mingtang this time has a deep relationship with Xu Meifeng. They are not only elementary school classmates, but also..."
Xu Meifeng is Wen Rongsheng's woman after all. When she mentioned his past with another man, Wen Rongsheng felt a little uncomfortable and slowed down his voice, "Also..."
Wen Yue had already picked up the photo and laughed sarcastically, "They were dating before." She picked up the pregnancy test report again, "They also had a child."
"...Yes."
Wen Rongsheng had been in the business world for so many years and had seen a lot of things. After the embarrassing things were exposed, he calmed down and said, "They were still in contact when Wen Jiaxin was born."
"It was also the year my brother died."
A trace of pain flashed across Wen Rongsheng's face: "I didn't know people well and harmed Akai."
After reflecting on himself, Wen Rongsheng quickly cheered up and asked, "You said you found evidence that Hou Xin and Xu Meifeng conspired to kill Akai?"
"Some of the evidence was not found by me."
Wen Yue said as she opened the drawer and took out a file bag, from which she took out a pile of evidence. But she didn't hand all of them to Wen Rongsheng, and first gave him a photo.
The background of the photo was an ice cream parlor, with two men, one about fifty years old, with strong shoulders and waist. One of them looked to be in his twenties, not tall, not fat, not thin, but he looked okay, a bit like Hou Xin, obviously when he was younger.
"Who is this photo of?" Wen Rongsheng asked.
"The older one is Zhao Zikun, and the younger one is Hou Xin. They know each other."
Wen Rongsheng had seen the photo on the wanted list of Zhao Zikun, which was taken when he entered high school. Because it was so long ago, it was a bit blurry, and you could only vaguely see that he was a thin man.
He in this photo didn't look much like the one on the wanted list.
Wen Yue explained, "He changed his name and opened this ice cream parlor near Tsim Sha Tsui. Customers come and go, and no one recognizes him."
Wen Rongsheng understood. If Wen Yue hadn't said that they were the same person, he would never have thought that this kind-looking old man would be the famous gangster Zhao Zikun.
Wen Yue handed over another photo.
Seeing this photo, Wen Rongsheng felt a pain in his heart. With red eyes, he looked up and asked, "Where did this photo come from?"
"I don't know who took it. It was sent to me by a man named Mr. Tong."
"Mr. Tong? I also received the photo he sent."
Because the investigation report sent by the detective confirmed the authenticity of the evidence sent by Mr. Tong, and Wen Rongsheng learned after inquiring that Zhou Mingtang was successfully rescued thanks to the photo provided by the mysterious man, and the mysterious man might be Mr. Tong, so Wen Rongsheng did not doubt his purpose.
After reading a sentence, Wen Rongsheng clenched the photo.
When this photo was taken and Wen Kai was kidnapped, two bodyguards fainted on the ground, and he was also dragged out of the car by Hou Xin roughly.
The kidnappers whose faces or profiles are shown in the photo are not only Hou Xin and Zhao Zikun, but also six others.
"Why?" Wen Rongsheng's right hand, which was holding the photo, trembled slightly, and his voice was filled with suppressed pain. "Since someone took the photo, why didn't he contact me or the police 22 years ago? If, if there was this photo at that time, your brother might have been rescued."
Of course, this is because this photo was not taken by someone 22 years ago, but was created by the system based on Hou Xin's memory.
Because Wen Yue didn't want to arouse suspicion, she let the system choose a relatively long distance, pretending that this photo was taken by an eyewitness but has been sealed for so many years.
Wen Yue had the answer in her heart, but she didn't intend to tell Wen Rongsheng, and only said: "You ask me, who should I ask?"
Wen Rongsheng was dumb, lowered his head to look at the people in the photo: "Are these people still alive?"
"I don't know."
Perhaps it was out of loyalty, or perhaps it was because he was worried that others would be arrested and implicated himself, so before escaping from Hong Kong, Hou Xin specially delivered the news to Zhao Zikun and the people he found.
These people, including Zhao Zikun, basically decided to go abroad.
Zhao Zikun considered that the medical level in Europe and the United States was higher abroad, and his son's disease might be cured if he immigrated there. The others were afraid that they would make money but not live to spend it, so they thought it was safer abroad. Secondly, people always want to move up. Although Hong Kong is prosperous, Europe and America are the holy land in their hearts.
In the end, only one person went to Southeast Asia with Hou Xin. However, they lost contact in the third year of going abroad, so Hou Xin didn't know whether the other person was alive or dead.
Thinking that these people might still be alive, Wen Rongsheng gritted his teeth and said, "I'll find someone to check!"
The last piece of evidence was the recording of the phone call between Xu Meifeng and Hou Xin, but in order to make it more realistic, Wen Yue only asked the system for Xu Meifeng's recording.
However, as soon as the recording was played, Xu Meifeng shouted "Hou Xin" and said that she would try her best to delay Wen Rongsheng tomorrow, and that there would be no more than four people picking up Wen Kai, and it was up to him to do what he wanted.
Then they confessed their true feelings. Later, Xu Meifeng told Hou Xin that she was pregnant with a boy, and secretly instigated Hou Xin to get rid of Wen Kai.
Wen Rongsheng was attracted to Xu Meifeng at first because of her beauty, but he had seen too many beautiful women in his life, and many of his lovers were famous beauties in the entertainment industry. Compared with them, Xu Meifeng did not have much advantage.
The main reason why Xu Meifeng was able to succeed in the position was not only because she was pregnant, but also because she was considerate and could figure out Wen Rongsheng's thoughts and say what he liked to hear. Therefore, Wen Rongsheng always felt very relaxed when he was with her. It is easy to imagine that
among the women who entered the Wen family, Xu Meifeng was not the only one who was pregnant. According to most people's ideas, Chen Baoqin was more successful than her and gave birth to a son!
Chen Baoqin was not bad looking, even more beautiful than Xu Meifeng, but Wen Rongsheng was obviously not as fond of her as Xu Meifeng.
Wen Rongsheng never expected that Xu Meifeng tried so hard to figure out his thoughts, not only to please him, but also to plot against him at the critical moment!
Not only did she predict that he would go to the hospital to see her after receiving a call and learning that she was about to give birth, she also predicted that he would not arrange too many bodyguards to pick up Wen Kai.
Thinking of this, Wen Rongsheng felt like a joke, his face turned pale and blue, like a palette had been overturned.
After a long silence, Wen Rongsheng stood up suddenly and said, "No, I have to go to England and ask her why in person."
Wen Yue did not stop him, but before he was about to leave the study, she said, "Go to England to ask her why? Will it be convenient for her to catch you in one fell swoop? Then you must revise your will before you go, so that Xu Meifeng will not do all the bad things and still get the property you left behind."
Although Wen Rongsheng was able to create such a large family business, he was definitely not a stupid person, but a man who was smart in his career might not be able to keep a clear mind in life.
Just like Wen Rongsheng, who was at least the richest man, a woman made him a father for nearly ten years, and then a woman plotted to kill his son, but he was ignorant for more than 20 years. It can be seen that he is really a bit stupid when it comes to women.
If Xu Meifeng is eloquent and Wen Rongsheng is deceived, it is not impossible that he will die in the UK.
Wen Rongsheng has a fortune of hundreds of billions, and he will certainly not wait until his death to consider such an important matter as the distribution of his inheritance. Instead, he has made a will early, and until the day he dies, the distribution plan will keep changing with the situation and his wishes.
According to the system, Wen Rongsheng is now inclined to let Wen Yue inherit the Lirong Group, but he has left shares to his second and third wives, and the real estate cash will not only be distributed to his children, but also to Chen Baoqin and Xu Meifeng.
Xu Meifeng knew that her conspiracy to murder Wen Kai had been exposed. She must have thought that after she returned to Hong Kong, the hope of Wen Jiaxin and her sister inheriting the Wen family would be even slimmer, and she might not only go to jail, but also be kicked out of the house.
When Wen Rongsheng dies in the future, it is hard to say how much property the two sisters will get, and she will definitely not get a penny.
In this case, it is better to get rid of Wen Rongsheng now and bet that he has not had time to change his will.
The above is Wen Yue's personal guess, but based on Xu Meifeng's actions in Hou Xin's memory, she thinks that the other party is very likely to take such a gamble.
It's nothing that Wen Rong died in the UK, but Xu Meifeng did so many bad things, but she was still able to inherit Wen Rongsheng's property and get away with it, which is a big problem.
Moreover, even if nothing happened to Wen Rongsheng, and he rushed to England to tell Xu Meifeng that she was exposed, would Xu Meifeng still be willing to go back to Hong Kong with him?
Not to mention that Wen Rongsheng brought a lot of people with him, and he could kidnap her back.
Britain is a society ruled by law. Even if he is a Knight of the Peace awarded by the Queen of England, it is probably not easy to kidnap someone on a plane openly. Maybe he will not be able to kidnap the person back, and he will go to jail first.
It is not possible to threaten her with the Wen Jiaxin sisters to fall into the trap. If she has no problem with her brain, she will not be threatened. After all, her daughter is not hers alone. Even if she does not go back, Wen Rongsheng cannot be cruel to the two sisters.
So if you want to get Xu Meifeng back, you can't use force, you have to use deception.
Although Wen Rongsheng was a little dim when it came to women, he still had some intelligence. He understood what Wen Yue said and asked, "How are you going to trick her back?"
"That depends on how you plan to deal with Xu Meifeng."
Wen Rongsheng did not answer immediately, but asked an irrelevant question, "Where did you get that recording?"
"Mr. Tong sent it to me." Wen Yue still answered with this answer.
"Who is this Mr. Tong?" Wen Rongsheng frowned, "Is it true that the person in the recording is Xu Meifeng? Why did I offer so many bounties more than 20 years ago but still couldn't find these evidences, but now they all appear?"
See, that's it.
If Wen Yue had not used some tricks to let Wen Rongsheng investigate on his own, but had placed all the evidence in front of him, he would definitely have doubts, causing her to be passive.
But Wen Yue was not panicked at all, because she knew that after finding out that Hou Xin and Xu Meifeng had a deep relationship, Wen Rongsheng's suspicion of Xu Meifeng always prevailed.
At this time, she hurriedly swore that the recording was true, which deepened Wen Rongsheng's suspicion, so she still said the same sentence: "You ask me, who should I ask?"
Wen Rongsheng was choked again.
"Xu Meifeng has been with you for so many years, and you gave birth to two daughters. It's normal that you don't want to believe the recording," Wen Yue looked directly into Wen Rongsheng's eyes and said, "But I tell you, I will never stop fighting with her until one of us dies!"
When she said this, there was no hatred or pain in Wen Yue's eyes, and her tone was very calm.
Just looking at her expression and listening to her tone, it would not be inappropriate to change this sentence to "I don't want to eat today."
But it was her calmness that made Wen Rongsheng see her determination. He thought, even if the recording was fake, so what? These photos can't be fake.
With so much evidence in front of him, it was obvious that Xu Meifeng and Hou Xin conspired to kill Wen Kai.
Thinking of this, Wen Rongsheng answered Wen Yue's previous question: "I plan to hand over the evidence to the police so that she and Hou Xin will receive the punishment they deserve."
Wen Yue asked: "What is the punishment, life imprisonment?"
Wen Rongsheng certainly felt that life imprisonment was not enough for Hou Xin, but he would not directly say that he wanted to bribe someone to deal with Hou Xin in prison, even to Wen Yue. As for
Xu Meifeng, Wen Rongsheng was a little hesitant. Of
course, he hated Xu Meifeng, but they had two daughters after all...
Seeing Wen Rongsheng's hesitation, Wen Yue was not surprised. He and Xu Meifeng were not husband and wife, but they had lived together for so many years, and they were indeed connected by bones.
Wen Yue has been suppressing the fact that Xu Meifeng harmed Wen Jiadong and made him lose his fertility. This is because Wen Rongsheng has been concerned about the death of a son. He doesn't want Xu Meifeng to pay for the blood debt, not to mention that Wen Jiadong is still alive.
It's too easy for Xu Meifeng to just be kicked out of the house. It's
the same if she is sentenced to a few years in prison.
But it's useless to blame Wen Rongsheng at this time. It would be more useful to expose the fact that Xu Meifeng harmed Wen Jiadong, but there is no evidence, and she said it, so he may not believe it.
So this matter has to be postponed until Xu Meifeng comes back.
Wen Yue thought about it and said meaningfully, "Just listening to the recording, although Xu Meifeng is suspected of instigating Hou Xin, she is not the mastermind, and she won't be sentenced to more than a few years."
Wen Rongsheng nodded, "That's right."
"Xu Meifeng has companies and real estate under her name. If she is accused, she will definitely hire a lawyer to help her get out of prison. Maybe her sentence will be shorter." Wen Yue continued, "And in Hong Kong prisons, rich people and poor people are treated differently. After going to prison, she can find someone to smooth over her connections and apply for medical parole. Maybe in the end, she won't even be in prison for two years."
Although Wen Rongsheng has never been to prison, some wealthy people he knows have been to prison, and they did spend half of their sentences outside.
For this, his eyebrows wrinkled unconsciously.
Because of his concern for Wen Jiaxin and her sister, it was difficult for Wen Rongsheng to make up his mind to kill Xu Meifeng, but when he thought that she might not even have to stay in jail for long, he felt a little discouraged.
At this time, Wen Yue sighed: "No wonder those women outside want to give birth to your children. It's so good to have children. They can inherit the family property and make you feel cautious after killing your other children." He said with two clicks of the tongue, "No wonder Xu Meifeng was so fearless to harm my brother."
After hearing Wen Yue's sarcastic words, Wen Rongsheng's expression was a little embarrassed and said, "I will tell people to let those gold medal lawyers refuse to defend Xu Meifeng."
It is impossible to let all lawyers in Hong Kong refuse Xu Meifeng. Although he has money, he is not a sucker. There are so many lawyers in Hong Kong, and he can't arrange every one of them.
And even if he arranges every lawyer and doesn't let them take Xu Meifeng's orders, she can also apply to let the relevant department arrange a lawyer for her.
In addition, most of the lawyers who can really turn the situation around have already made a name for themselves, and those unknown lawyers have little influence on the verdict.
After hearing Wen Rongsheng's statement, Wen Yue said, "But it's not enough. Even if it's a normal sentence, she can get long-term medical parole if she has money to make arrangements. If she behaves well, she can apply for a sentence reduction, and the time she spends in prison will be less than half of the initial sentence."
Wen Rongsheng finally figured out that Wen Yue had an idea and asked, "What do you want to do?"
Wen Yue stopped beating around the bush and revealed her true purpose: "At least she has to give up all the money she made with the help of the Wen family, right?"
Her wording was very subtle. "Money made with the help of the Wen family" included the money Wen Rongsheng gave to Xu Meifeng and the money Xu Meifeng made by starting a company with the help of the Wen family.
The former is easy to deal with. As long as Wen Rongsheng can save his face, he can sue Xu Meifeng if she refuses to give him the money. He can always get the money back. But the latter is not so easy to deal with. Although Xu Meifeng can earn so much thanks to Wen Rongsheng, it is her legal income after all.
Wen Rongsheng frowned and said, "This... I'm afraid it's not easy to deal with."
There is no such thing as marital property in Hong Kong. Even if he and Xu Meifeng are legally married, as long as she refuses to give him the money, he will not be able to get the money she earned.
Moreover, although Xu Meifeng is called the fourth wife, there is actually no legal contract between them. Without using illegal means, this will definitely not work.
But Wen Rongsheng is a man who cherishes his reputation. This does not mean that he is loyal and faithful in love, but that he always abides by the bottom line of the law in his career and life.
With his current wealth, he can spend the rest of his life doing nothing and making a lot of money. It is naturally impossible for him to ruin his life for revenge against someone.
Hearing what Wen Rongsheng meant, Wen Yue asked, "What if it's not illegal?"
Wen Rongsheng was willing to do it if it wasn't illegal, and asked, "What can you do?"
Wen Yue asked, "Do you remember Liang Yicong?" Wen
Rongsheng knew what he meant and reminded him, "He was in prison for fraud."
"Creating something out of nothing is certainly fraud, but what if a project really exists, but it's all show and no substance?" Wen Yue said, "Investing in such a project should be considered a failure, and you can only blame yourself, right?"
Wen Rongsheng thought for a while, "You mean, you want to make Xu Meifeng invest in such a project and lose the money."
"That's right, and not only do we want her to invest, we want her to invest all her assets, and end up losing everything."
Xu Meifeng killed Wen Kai first, and then Wen Jiadong. Wasn't it because she had her eyes on the huge wealth of the Wen family and wanted her daughter to inherit the Wen family smoothly?
Then she would let Xu Meifeng have a taste of what it feels like to draw water with a bamboo basket.
It would also be a good opportunity to let her see that after she has nothing and caused Wen Jiaxin and her sister to have no chance of inheritance, the sisters will choose their notorious mother and give up the Wen family's comfortable life, or will they sever ties with her in order to continue to be the ladies of the Wen family!
Wen Rongsheng didn't know what Wen Yue was thinking, so he frowned and thought, "Let's not consider where to find such a project. Just look at Xu Meifeng's personality. She has always been very cautious. The scale of investment is not large. How can you let her invest all her wealth in a project?"
"Whether it's the project or letting Xu Meifeng invest all her wealth, these are things you need to consider."
Wen Yue knew that magic can only be defeated by magic. She looked directly into Wen Rongsheng's eyes and said, "You let the wolf into the house, killed your brother, and caused the bloodline of the Wen family to be cut off. If you don't do something to make up for your mistakes while you are still alive, will you have the nerve to meet the ancestors of the Wen family a hundred years later?"
Although Wen Rongsheng has been trying to adjust his old ideas of favoring boys over girls after Wen Jiadong lost his fertility, it is difficult to change one's nature. Even though he has accepted the fact that the future heir can only be chosen from his daughters, he often feels pain when it's late at night. Especially recently,
every time he thinks of the son he values being killed by the woman around him, he feels regret in addition to the pain.
Therefore, even though he knew that Wen Yue was deliberately provoking him, Wen Rongsheng still had less hesitation in his heart and agreed to set a trap for Xu Meifeng.
