Chapter 364 Dark Surge
Meng Zhiyi said that he wanted them to turn themselves in at the police station, but in fact he kept someone there and watched the couple enter the police station.
Inside the car, after watching the couple go in, Meng Zhiyi retracted his gaze.
He said calmly, "Leave two people to continue watching to prevent the people behind them from going crazy and attacking them."
Wang Xiao: "Okay, I'll notify them right away."
"There's nothing to do here, let's go back."
Meng Zhiyi's visit this time, in addition to wanting to know who was the mastermind behind this, also had another purpose in order to clear the stain on the Shen family through proper channels.
It is one thing to settle an enemy privately, but if Shen's company wants to operate normally in the future, it cannot allow these bad things to leave a stain.
Now the Internet and the public are clamoring for an explanation. Although the couple's surrender may not amount to a big deal, it can at least distract the public's attention.
Meng Zhiyi returned to the capital, and before he had time to call Shen Que, he saw the police notice on the Internet.
The general meaning is the truth confessed by the couple after they turned themselves in, and a message was also released.
That is, the food poisoning incident was caused by someone maliciously poisoning the food.
Although the restaurant company was also responsible for its poor supervision, at least there was an explanation, and public opinion gradually leaned towards finding the murderer.
Although this phenomenon did not have much effect, it did buy Shen Que and the Shen family some breathing time.
As for the Xie family, Ai Rui, who had been following the news, was so angry when he saw the couple turn themselves in that he almost smashed his phone.
"I clearly took the money and told them to leave the country, so why haven't they left yet?"
Eric gnashed his teeth in anger.
That’s right, what the couple didn’t tell Meng Zhiyi was that they later took a sum of money and agreed to go abroad.
But the couple couldn't bear to leave their hometown, nor could they bear to give up everything they had worked hard for half their lives, so they just accepted the fate and sent their child away.
When Xie Lingxue came down from the stairs, she vaguely heard what Ai Rui cursed.
But her mental state has not been very good recently and she didn't hear clearly.
"Eri, what are you doing?"
Hearing Jie Lingxue's voice, Ai Rui quickly adjusted his state, suppressed his anger, and looked at her with a fake smile: "No, I'm just watching videos."
Xie Lingxue did not doubt it, but walked over and hugged him, saying in a weak voice: "I have been feeling weak lately, and my head feels very dizzy when I wake up. Please accompany me to the hospital."
Ai Rui's eyes flickered slightly, and he patted her shoulder gently to comfort her: "You are just suffering from emotional fluctuations recently. Don't always think about going to the hospital. In a hospital, they will say you are sick even if you are not sick."
"Rest for a while longer. If you still feel uncomfortable, I'll go with you again, okay?"
Xie Lingxue had no doubts and nodded obediently.
Ari lowered his eyes, hiding the sinister look in his eyes.
It seems that we have to stop injecting Jie Lingxue with drugs for some time.
But this way, every time he went to look for Lian Mubai or did something, it would be difficult for him to do anything.
At this time, Eric's cell phone rang.
When he saw the number, Ai Rui's heart tightened. After fooling Lingxue with a few words, he quickly found a deserted corner and called back.
The person on the other end of the phone was the one with the birthmark on his brow bone according to the couple's confession, and he was also a gangster hired by Airy.
As soon as the call was connected, the person on the other end yelled angrily: "You are fucking kidding me! When you came to me, you didn't say that this matter had anything to do with the Shen Corporation!"
The man looked extremely ugly.
Ever since he saw in the news that the food poisoning incident was related to the Shen family, he found a place to hide.
During this period, the Shen family was busy dealing with public issues, but once the limelight was over, they would start to settle the accounts behind the scenes.
People like them who often walk by the water know better than anyone the consequences of offending the Shen family.
How could the Shen family, which has established itself as the richest family in Beijing, be an ordinary enterprise?
So during this period of time, the man trembled in fear, fearing that it would happen to him one day.
However, within a few days, he saw the news that the couple had surrendered themselves.
As a result, the man couldn't sit still anymore and called Eric without any defense.
Eric gritted his teeth, his tone not much better: "I told you before that this deal is very risky. I have warned you before."
Man: "Remind your mother! In my line of work, which business doesn't have little risk?"
Eric was so shocked that he didn't know how to respond.
"Oh, let me tell you, if someone from the Shen Corporation finds me here, don't think I will say nothing."
Hearing this, Eric immediately regretted not listening to Lian Mubai and killing this man!
"Just tell me what your conditions are!" Of course, Eric was not that stupid. He didn't know what the other party was thinking even after being threatened to the point of being intimidated.
Man: "Give me another 10 million and I'll give you one day to prepare."
"Ten million?" Eric sneered and said sarcastically, "Do you know how many lives you can buy with ten million?"
Although he had not been in China for a long time, the years he had spent in Talia were not in vain.
If it weren't for the various restrictions of Chinese laws, Eric really wanted to rush over and kill this man right now.
Man: "I don't care how many times he can buy my stuff, but I just want him to buy yours. If I go to Shen's now, do you think he will spend this money to buy your information?"
Ari choked up.
I have to say, the man hit him right on the sore spot.
"Address! I'll send someone to deliver the money tomorrow!"
"That's interesting." The man smiled with satisfaction, then hung up the phone and sent the address to Eric.
Being blackmailed, Ari was filled with rage. He paced back and forth, going over the current situation in detail.
He knew very well that after the couple turned themselves in, the police would quickly find a clue to the food poisoning incident, and it would only be a matter of time before they traced it back to him.
So now, the only thing to do is to divert the police's attention.
After a moment, Ai Rui turned around and went back to look for Lingxue.
He told her the story of the food poisoning in an exaggerated way, and the general content was that the Shen family was deliberately destroying the Xie family's business.
Xie Lingxue had no doubts at all and rushed out of the house in anger to ask Old Lady Shen for an explanation.
"Xiaoxue, if you look for her now, she will definitely not see you." Ai Rui grabbed Jie Lingxue and said.
Xie Lingxue: "Then what should I do? I can't just watch my father's legacy being snatched away by her using such despicable means!"
A dark light flashed across Ai Rui's eyes, and then he whispered into Jie Lingxue's ear.
"Is this... really okay?"
Ariel: "Xiaoxue, you still don't believe me?"
Xie Lingxue hesitated for a few seconds, then nodded: "I believe you."
Ari hugged her gently and comforted her: "Then just do as I say. Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you."
