[She was forced into it! She's only in her thirties, but she was forced to be with a man in his seventies or eighties! She's not happy at all! Luckily, the old man is paralyzed! Hahaha... As long as she can endure until he dies, she'll be free. No, she's almost free now!]
Towards the end, his tone became somewhat frantic.
Qin Yunie's expression was somewhat complicated; he hadn't expected that the woman he liked was actually a married woman.
She suddenly began to wonder if the other party was really forced.
After all, according to him, if the other party was willing to be with an old man who was seventy or eighty years old and had his neck buried in the ground, and there was no profit to be made, even if she was forced, she would not be able to resist and would need him to redeem her.
However, he likes her very much, and even if she tells him, she'll probably find excuses to justify it.
So Qin Yunie changed the question.
Qin Yunie: [Do you have any other evidence or clues? I searched for COSCO Real Estate online, but I didn't find much information. Plus, they have powerful backers. If you want to completely bring them down, it will be very difficult without absolutely solid evidence.]
Qin Yunie: [You probably want to buy her some time, right? We need to create some trouble to hinder them, making it easier for her to escape.]
He indeed [has a relative who owns a labor service company, the HR manager of COSCO Group. This relative has secured a lot of work through the HR manager's connections. The latest project, the Citron Research and Development Center, was contracted to this company for construction. However, to save costs, they completely disregarded standards. They used 18mm diameter steel bars instead of 20mm diameter ones. The concrete grade was also substandard; C30 was replaced with C25, and the floor slab thickness was reduced from 120mm to 100mm. If this is discovered, they'll be in serious trouble.]
Although Qin Yunie didn't know much about this, he knew that if things were done the way they did, they would be very fragile in the event of a natural disaster, and would collapse more easily than those that followed the standard.
Qin Yunie: [Has no one noticed these things before? Why hasn't anyone exposed them?]
The other party was silent for a moment, then said: "Because this Minister of Human Resources is the brother-in-law of the second son of the CEO of COSCO Group. With this relationship, plus the fact that the house originally belonged to COSCO Group, generally no one dares to offend him. COSCO Group's real estate holdings are spread throughout the country, and their salaries are relatively high. Unless there's some deep-seated grudge, no one would risk offending a Minister of Human Resources, especially one with such a nepotistic relationship to the CEO."
Upon hearing this, Qin Yunie fell silent.
The most dangerous thing about these family businesses is the nepotism.
However, if we focus our efforts in this direction and keep them busy, they shouldn't have time to do anything else for the time being.
This also gives the police more time to investigate.
Qin Yu Nie: [You asked me to leave the things at the restaurant. Is the person who went to pick them up one of her people? Is he really reliable? Won't he destroy the evidence?]
His answer was firm: "No, I saved this person before. Anyone could betray me, but he would never."
Qin Yunie felt a little relieved upon hearing this.
Qin Yunie: [I'll contact you again if I have any questions.]
After saying that, he began to think about what to do.
Meanwhile, the Pan family was furious because they had suddenly lost twenty or thirty kilograms of their food the night before.
Pan Tingsheng is the eldest son of the Pan family and the current head of the family.
His already deep eyes swept over everyone in the room with a sinister look. He slammed his hand heavily on the table, making a dull sound, and his majesty and imposing presence were on full display.
He roared, "Who leaked the information last night? I won't believe their lame excuses, like some passerby accidentally discovering and reporting it! I don't believe such a coincidence exists! Who else but one of our own could know the exact time of the transaction? We must find out this as soon as possible and find this mole! I won't be able to sleep peacefully at night if I have someone like that around!"
Panlong's face was equally grim. He frowned and said fiercely, "You'd better not let me find out who did it! Otherwise, I'll make them pay! If I hadn't received a call warning me to leave last night, I probably would have been taken away with them! This time it's alright, although we lost twenty or thirty kilograms, but thankfully our large batch hasn't arrived yet. That new shipment is the key! Although this is just a test, if we don't catch them, and if we get stabbed in the back by our own people when that shipment arrives, we're completely finished!"
One of the branch leaders frowned deeply and asked, "Not many people know about the operation, and they are all trusted subordinates who have risked their lives for many years. If we doubt them like this, won't it discourage them? Although I know this is a big deal and we have suffered a lot of losses, what if it turns out to be just a coincidence?"
Pan Tingsheng's already icy and sharp gaze swept across everyone's faces like two sharp swords, and then he said coldly, "Better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free! If they are wrong, give each of them one million as a consolation payment. Tell them to keep their people in check and to think carefully about what they should and shouldn't say before they speak!"
Pan Tingsheng continued, "By the way, dispose of all the goods in the hands of those arrested, and be quick! If they find out, you know what to do, right? Don't leave any clues so they can find out."
Everyone looked at each other, then replied, "Yes!"
The crowd responded in unison and then dispersed.
After everyone left, only Pan Tingsheng and Pan Long remained in the large room.
Pan Tingsheng slowly reached into his pocket and pulled out a pack of cigarettes. He casually took one out and handed it to Pan Long.
He then took out one himself, lit it with a lighter, took a deep drag, and slowly exhaled smoke rings as he casually asked, as if in conversation, "Who do you think leaked it? Are there any suspects? Or do you also believe it was just a passerby who reported it?"
Panlong held the cigarette between his index and middle fingers and brought it to his lips, gesturing for his brother to light it for him. After lighting it, he took a puff and said, "I don't know the specifics, but it's definitely not a coincidence. How many coincidences are there in the world? Most coincidences are the deliberate actions of people with ulterior motives."
Pan Tingsheng chuckled, "I don't believe it's a coincidence either. Go back and hear what your stepmother has to say. She wants you to come home for dinner tonight, don't forget."
Panlong chuckled and teased, "Tsk, aren't you afraid the old man will find out?"
Pan Tingsheng raised his eyebrows slightly and said nonchalantly, "So what if he finds out? Can he get back up? I'm willing to pay to keep him alive, that's why he can live. If I'm not willing, I'll stop him today, and he can go see the King of Hell tonight."
