Chapter 85 Nine out of ten times I can’t get out
Jiang Jingyan and Tang Xiaoming were invited into the Li family's old house.
In the huge front hall, Madam Li sat in the main seat on the right, sizing him up. "For a girl, he stopped the Li family's car in the street. If Mr. Jiang is not anxious to cover up the truth, then he really loves her."
Jiang Jing spoke in a serious and dignified tone, "Madam Li, you are objective and fair. If I had bad intentions, why would I expose myself in front of you?"
Madam Li played with the lighter on the table and frowned slightly. "You are older than me, there is no need to be so polite."
He paused and looked at Li Dong who was standing beside him.
The latter just drank tea and ignored it.
Director Bin Chengli is nearly forty years old, but his wife is so young.
At this time, the man who had fought with him before walked in with a file bag in his hand.
"All those involved in Qingyoufuyuan have been dismissed and investigated. Those 'guests' who had contact with the orphan girls' training class and whose donations were recorded have been sentenced or pursued. Only two have fled the country, making their cases more difficult. The remaining 13 are registered, but no evidence has been found. They cannot be touched. We only have their basic information here."
“Since there is suspicion, why not continue the investigation?”
Madam Li laughed, her tone half sarcastic and half serious, "If it is recorded, it means you are suspected, and then you, Mr. Jiang, will not be able to escape."
Jiang Jingyan's cheekbones trembled, but he said nothing.
She pulled out a stack of papers and flicked her fingers. "My people have been monitoring the whereabouts of these 13 people online in recent years, but the case is confidential. If you want to find them, you have to investigate on your own."
Tang Xiaoming was anxious. "Madam Li, if we delay for one more minute, the possibility of Chen Qing being in danger will increase. Can we -"
"According to Young Master Jiang, he's a suspected 'sponsor,'" Li Dong, who had remained silent until then, suddenly spoke up, slowly setting down his teacup. "To protect the victims and prevent Young Master Jiang from colluding with those 13 individuals, I have no further information to share."
Jiang Jingyan met his eyes, a hint of anger flashed across his eyes, and he suddenly stood up.
Tang Xiaoming quickly stepped forward to block it, "Understood! We'll figure it out ourselves."
He bent down to take the information.
"Wait." Madam Li withdrew her hand and looked at them. "Once you find out who took that girl away, Master Jiang, you can personally send her to where she should go as a reward for me. How about that?"
"A reporter has been following a dark story for six years, and letting someone else expose it first makes Madam Li look incompetent."
"Don't worry about it, do it or not."
Jiang Jingyan's eyes were sharp, and he said in a deep voice, "Do it."
They took the information and left.
Li Wencheng tapped the table with great interest, "Xiao Xiu, it's too obvious that you're helping him."
"Your hiding wasn't very clever. I just went along with the situation." Madam Li put away the file bag and stretched lazily. "I have to go to the company. Zhizhi is pretending to be sick and won't go to school. You can take her there."
"If I send my daughter off, will her illness be cured?"
"The teacher called me secretly and said that she was a hero at school and had a fight with several male classmates. The other parents wanted to ask for an explanation. Zhizhi was afraid that I would scold her, so she asked you to go and send her off. She was too lazy to pretend."
Li Wencheng laughed out loud, dusted off his trousers, and got up to go to the backyard.
…
Tang Xiaoming was looking through the list in the passenger seat, muttering in dissatisfaction, "This Madam Li is really something. Since she has found out everything, can't she just tell us directly?"
Jiang Jingyan held a cigarette in his mouth and said, "The couple gave me a chance."
"You call this an opportunity? This is like looking for a needle in a haystack turning into catching fish and shrimp!"
"The city issued an official notice yesterday, but I didn't go." He leaned his elbow on the window frame to dust off his cigarette ashes, his eyes filled with secrecy as he stared ahead. "Those people in Huasheng only focused on Chen Qing's identity as a 'female college student'. If they found out she was from an orphan training class..."
Tang Xiaoming shuddered. "If you're found out, you'll be labeled the 14th person."
He nodded calmly, "Madam Li asked me to send that person to where he should go, giving me a chance to prove my innocence."
"I didn't realize that. Even if the bones are broken, the tendons are still connected. They still trust you as their cousin."
Just as he finished speaking, Jiang Jingyan's cell phone rang.
He picked up the phone, "Lao Luo."
"Isn't Qing'er at school at this time? Why is she in Zhounan?"
The car skidded and braked suddenly, almost hitting the roadblock.
Jiang Jingyan's face was gloomy. "Tell me clearly, where did you see her?"
Mr. Luo said anxiously, "I was out of town discussing a project when the owner of an entertainment city in southern Zhou posted a photo on WeChat Moments. My wife insisted that one of the photos was Qing'er's erhu and her hands."
Mrs. Luo had a photographic memory and often checked whether Chen Qing had regressed. If she said yes, then it must be yes.
"Who is the boss?"
"Liu Han, an insignificant little man."
Tang Xiaoming quickly searched the list and shook his head.
Without caring about anything else, Jiang Jingyan drove off.
On the way, the city and the board of directors called one after another, but he refused to answer all the calls.
Tang Xiaoming closed his eyes and accepted his fate, not daring to think about the consequences.
At nine o'clock in the evening, the two arrived outside the entertainment city.
Jiang Jingyan was covered in dampness and his face was cold.
Mr. Luo's secretary came to greet him. "As you instructed, I've investigated the shareholders of this entertainment city. The others aren't particularly significant, except for one, Ji Mingyin. He rarely appears in public and doesn't often stay anywhere for long, but it's said that many of Zhounan's shady industries rely on his influence."
An entertainment city cannot be opened by ordinary people. Just having spare money will not make it big, unless you have a backer.
Tang Xiaoming held up the list in his hand and pointed at one of the columns.
Ji Mingyin, who previously donated 2.6 million yuan in medical equipment to Qingyoufuyuan, was the mastermind behind the orphan training program and had a personal collaboration with him. During the investigation, he sued the park's leadership and recovered some of the donations. Despite this, he was not mentioned in any of his confessions or testimony.
It seems that he must be quite capable to make everyone keep silent and protect him.
After entering the lobby, the manager of the entertainment city invited them into the reception room.
"The girl you wanted is indeed here with us, but we didn't dare spoil the fun of the person we were meeting in the box. Don't worry, Mr. Luo's bodyguards intervened in time, and that person didn't intend to cause any trouble."
Jiang Jingyan put away his hand that was lighting a cigarette, "Who?"
"The eldest young master of the Mu family."
The secretary shuddered and tilted his head, "Mr. Jiang, you know Mr. Mu. He only likes opera, but his son is not serious. If he gets into her hands, Miss Qing'er will most likely never get out."
Jiang Jingyan's expression was gloomy. "Whether you can come out or not is up to me."
"Calm down," the secretary said seriously. "The Mu family boss has something real. The Luo family has to give in. He had already worked with Huasheng several times before you were transferred, and he's considered an important client. You're protecting Miss Qing'er, and openly clashing with him is likely to end badly. Why don't you go back first? I'll stay here and watch."
Jiang Jingyan felt as if there was a huge rock blocking his chest.
He was silent for a moment, then gave the order, "Take your men and guard the exit. If Ji Mingyin shows up, arrest him at all costs."
The secretary hesitated and stopped trying to stop him.
There is a KTV on the third floor, and Jiang Jingyan came to the private room alone.
Inside was the accompaniment of "Nanping Evening Bell", and the fragmented singing voice was transmitted to the corridor through the microphone.
