Chapter 57 Clues【VIP】
The Maybach stopped outside the Longxing Winery. Zhuo Jing did not get in the car, but stared at the gate.
When he saw Fu Shengyan coming out, his expression relaxed.
"Where is my wife?" Fu Shengyan frowned tightly. He didn't see Lin Zhihua all the way out.
"In the car." Zhuo Jing walked forward and opened the car door, lowering his voice, "Let's talk about it after we get in the car." As he said that, he opened the passenger door and got in.
When Fu Shengyan saw Lin Zhihua, he got into the car without hesitation.
Lin Zhihua grabbed his arm and looked at him nervously, "Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?"
As soon as she got out of the car, she saw a group of bodyguards and security guards outside swarming into the lobby.
Her heart tightened, and she was about to squeeze in, but was stopped by Zhuo Jing who came out from outside. To prevent this operation from failing, Lin Zhihua could only return to the car and wait, not knowing what was happening inside.
"It's okay." Fu Shengyan turned his head and smiled at her, patting his arms. "Those little bastards are no match for me."
Lin Zhihua breathed a sigh of relief when she saw no obvious wounds on his body. In front of outsiders, she couldn't say anything and just quietly held his hand.
Fu Shengyan's playful smile faded. He reached out and took the miniature video and recording device from his collar, then handed it over along with the headset. "Officer Zhuo, did the operation go smoothly?"
Zhuo Jing took the two items and put them into the evidence bag beside him. "It went pretty smoothly. This time, it's all thanks to you."
He put the bag away and handed me a cigarette. "Want a smoke?"
Fu Shengyan waved his hand. "How is it? Have you found any evidence?"
Zhuo Jing put the cigarette away without lighting it himself. He thanked them sincerely, "Thank you. Fortunately, you held them off so that I could get a partial list of customers and the contract. I apologize for not being able to tell you the details."
Fu Shengyan nodded in understanding.
"But that's not enough." Zhuo Jing changed his tone. "I heard that Longxing Winery is just a place where customers can choose the mothers and eggs to be conceived. The actual operating room for egg retrieval and embryo transplantation is not here."
Fu Shengyan understood that the most they could do now was to prove that the Zhou family was indeed involved in the surrogacy process, but these crimes alone could not be used to identify the mastermind. If they wanted to nail the Zhou family, they had to obtain more solid and critical evidence.
"The courts and club behind the winery are most likely where they keep these women." Zhuo Jing's tone was very serious. "We will send people to monitor here 24 hours a day to prevent them from transferring people on a large scale again. Although I know you won't do it, I still have to say what I need to say - before the police officially close in, I hope you won't make it public to avoid leaks."
"Don't worry." Fu Shengyan said, "If we have any news, we will notify the police immediately."
Zhuo Jing smiled. "Thank you for your cooperation. I have good news for you. Just now, our comrades sent a message. Regarding the overpass pileup over a month ago, the families of the deceased received remittances totaling one million yuan to overseas accounts at 10:00 this morning. The comrades in information technology are now investigating the source of the remittances."
Fu Shengyan's eyes lit up: "Thank you, Officer Zhuo!"
They searched for a whole month and didn't find much useful evidence, but now they finally see some hope.
The overpass chain car accident case had been closed long ago, and the police could not possibly waste their resources secretly monitoring the suspect's family. Zhuo Jing undoubtedly contributed a lot to it.
Zhuo Jing smiled and said, "Why bother saying thank you? This is the job of a public servant. Lawyer Fu, you better be careful over the next few days. I doubt they'll let you go so easily."
In order to conceal their tracks, they drove the car directly back to Zhixing Technology, sat in Lin Zhihua's office for a while, and then quietly left from the underground parking lot.
That night, after dinner at the Fu family's old house, Lin Zhihua and the others followed Fu Jinnian into the study.
"Someone has checked the overseas accounts, and we will probably have news soon." Fu Jinnian turned around and told Fu Shengyan to be careful, and then asked about Lin Zhihua's Starlight Press Conference today.
Fu Jinnian narrowed his eyes slightly. "I've heard a little bit about Tan Hongwei. He's ambitious and capable, but his vision is too narrow and he's too eager for quick success."
Lin Zhihua had heard about Tan Hongwei's life before his rise to fame. He came from a well-off, typical middle-class family. After attending university, he spent two years as an exchange student in the United States. His life was smooth sailing, leading him to develop a certain arrogance. After graduation, driven by his drive, he teamed up with several classmates to start his own business.
Within a year, I lost a lot of money, and after that, I encountered many setbacks. When I was middle-aged, the company was on the verge of bankruptcy, and the classmates who started the business with me at that time also left one after another.
After receiving investment from Su Huahao, the company gradually improved and several of its products received good market responses. It was not until the emergence of Zhixing Technology that the company's development momentum slowed down.
Tan Hongwei must have been holding back a lot of anger over the years, which is why he couldn't wait to get ahead of Zhixing Technology in this holographic project.
Fu said a few words, then waved his hand and let the man go in the face of his son's dissatisfied eyes.
Shen Weiwei came up with a plate of fruit and ran into them head-on. Is she done?"
"The old man Fu Shengyan looked disgusted and took the fruit plate from her hand, "Mom, let's go downstairs to watch TV. I'll accompany you to see the holographic system that Zhizhi Company has not yet launched on the market. It is said that it can directly... "
"Okay." Shen Weiwei's eyebrows curved, and she took Lin Zhihua's arm and said softly, "
"Okay." Lin Zhihua smiled, and the three of them went downstairs happily.
In the study, Fu Jinnian shook his head, looked at the mountain of work, and sighed helplessly.
Lin Zhihua patiently explained to Shen Weiwei how to use it, and Fu Shengyan fed them a few pieces of fruit from time to time.
Shen Weiwei squinted her eyes happily: "A Yan is still more adorable when he is eighteen years old, but it would be better if he was a few years younger. I really miss the time when you were in elementary school, you were so well-behaved. Do you still remember, on your eighth birthday..."
Fu Shengyan's mind suddenly started ringing with alarm bells, and he quickly interrupted her: "Mom! I'm fine now, just consider this as making up for my regrets!"
Shen Weiwei was caught off guard and startled by his roar. Seeing the embarrassment on his face, she smiled with her lips pursed.
Their mysterious behavior actually made Lin Zhihua curious, "What happened when you were eight?"
Fu Shengyan just laughed it off and fed Lin Zhihua a few pieces of fruit.
Lin Zhihua looked at him several times. She had just swallowed the food in her mouth when another piece was stuffed into her mouth. She was so tired of chewing that she quickly covered her mouth and hid behind Shen Weiwei, rolling her eyes at Fu Shengyan.
Shen laughed slightly. It had been a long time since she saw them playing and fighting like this. She felt a little nostalgic. “It’s really not easy for you two kids to be together successfully. If only A Yan hadn’t lost her memory, I might be a grandmother now.”
Having said this, she sighed and said to the two of them earnestly, "Mom isn't in a hurry to have a grandson, it's just that Ah Yan's illness has set the process back quite a bit."
Lin Zhihua's face flushed slightly. She coughed lightly and quickly changed the subject to divert Shen Weiwei's attention. "Mom, the scan is complete. Let me show you the results."
His pocket vibrated a few times, and Fu Shengyan took out his cell phone and found a voice message from Fu Huaqing.
"Brother, I have something to tell you. Gu Shaochen is bringing his mistress home!" His words were filled with gossip, and his voice was filled with the noisy voices of people. "I don't know who heard from Old Master Gu that he was divorced, and he got really angry on the phone. I could hear it clearly through the two of us. Didn't you see that Gu Shaochen's face turned black in an instant? He didn't even bother to eat and left with Bai Qingying."
Fu Shengyan raised his eyebrows slightly and sent a message: "And then? What did the old man say on the phone?"
Fu Huaqing on the other end of the line didn't seem to be looking at his phone and didn't reply until a few minutes later.
"I don't know. Anyway, the old man sounded very angry on the phone. He told Gu Shaochen to bring his great-grandson back as soon as possible, otherwise he would remove his position as CEO."
Fu Shengyan glanced at today's date, looked up and asked Lin Zhihua, "Zhizhi, when did Junior Sister Song and Gu Shaochen register their divorce?"
Lin Zhihua said without hesitation: "A month ago, today is the last day, why are you asking this suddenly?"
Fu Shengyan shook his phone, spreading the gossip, and added, "Fu Huaqing just told me that they probably got together for dinner. Gu Shaochen left in a hurry, and he took Bai Qingying with him. He must have gone back to the Gu family mansion to look for the old man."
Lin Zhihua's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, realizing that Mr. Fu was most likely the "variable" between Song Lansheng and Gu Shaochen.
She had to help Gu Shaochen, at least until tonight to let him know the truth.
Gu family.
Old Master Gu sat upright in the living room's armchair. Although already eighty years old, his back remained straight, and he held an ebony cane. Even seated, the head of the Gu family exuded the dignity of someone who had held a high position for a long time.
"Master, the young master is back." The butler bent down and said.
When Gu Shaochen brought Bai Qingying in, he slowly raised his eyes, staring at them with his eagle-like eyes.
"Grandpa." Gu Shaochen's voice was particularly clear in the empty hall. He did not lower his head as usual, but met Grandpa Gu's gaze without dodging.
Gu Zhenhua did not respond immediately, but looked at Bai Qingying from head to toe with a scrutinizing gaze.
Bai Qingying shuddered and couldn't help but tightly grasp Gu Shaochen's sleeve.
"Just for this woman, you want to divorce Shengsheng? You don't even want Changan anymore?" The old man's voice was hoarse and low, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.
Gu Shaochen's eyes were firm as he said in a resounding voice, "Yes, Grandpa, I love her. Ying'er saved me when I was a child. I will definitely marry her in this life and will not let her suffer any injustice."
Looking at the pair of eyes that looked exactly like his own, Gu Zhenhua shook his head, "Chen'er, you..."
“Ding-ling-ling——”
The shrill ringing suddenly interrupted Mr. Gu's words. He frowned unhappily. Just as Gu Shangchen was about to hang up the phone, he heard the old man say in a deep voice, "Answer it."
He pursed his lips and answered Secretary Wang's call: "You'd better have something important..."
"Oh no, Mr. Gu! Someone is maliciously targeting Gu's company! They're selling off a large amount of stock before the market closes, causing our share price to plummet by 15%!"
