Yang Changping was furious when his son hung up on him. He threw the phone back, sat there fuming for a while, and then called Xiao Zhuang, who was in charge of assisting with the investigation.
When Yang Fenglin arrived, Xiao Zhuang was already waiting in the office.
"dad!"
“Don’t call me Dad,” Yang Changping pointed at Xiao Zhuang. “Xiao Zhuang, you tell him exactly what happened. Tell him everything clearly, word for word.”
Although Yang Changping had a bit of a temper, he was very devoted to his only son born in his old age. He hadn't done anything to Yang Fenglin when he was irresponsible, but now that he saw his son was going to get on the right track, Yang Changping was even more devoted to him.
Seeing Yang Fenglin standing at the door, staring intently at him, Xiao Zhuang stood up and said, "Fenglin, I went there on behalf of Minister Yang. People let me participate in the whole process because of Minister Yang's influence. Now, after verification from multiple sources, the truth is that Comrade Qi Yunjie used her position to help her superior falsify accounts. You know the company she works for has a very high turnover, 100,000 yuan, a full 100,000 yuan! How dare she do that? And this is just falsifying the accounts. Guess how much money her superior took in bribes behind the scenes."
"Impossible!" Yang Fenglin had no interest in knowing about that leader. "You must have made a mistake in your investigation."
“From top to bottom, they have all confessed, and the chain of evidence is conclusive. What’s most hateful is that they even killed someone to keep it a secret. This accuser is practically risking his life to file a complaint. Feng Lin, let me tell you this: there’s no mistake in a case like this.”
Yang Fenglin slumped against the wall as if he had collapsed: "Impossible, impossible... She must have taken the blame for someone else. She couldn't have done such a thing."
"The investigation team has considered all of the situations you mentioned and ruled them out."
"impossible!"
Yang Fenglin roared, startling Xiao Zhuang.
"Alright! Yang Fenglin, what are you doing here! Xiao Zhuang, you should go back now. You've had a hard time this time. We've spoiled this child. It wasn't directed at you, please forgive me."
"Minister Yang, what are you saying? I'll be going now."
Xiao Zhuang was perceptive; when this young master threw a tantrum, he, as an outsider, couldn't very well act as his father.
After everyone left, Yang Fenglin rushed up to Yang Changping and said, "Dad, there's definitely something fishy about this. You know what kind of person Qi Yunjie is. She's the kind of person who never gets her shoes muddy when she walks. How could she do something like this!"
"Fenglin, how long has it been since you last contacted Qi Yunjie? You two were together every day when you were in school, but afterwards you each went your own way, didn't you? People change!"
It wasn't surprising that Yang Changping got this answer. The Qi family had always been involved in these shady dealings, and now that Qi Zhong's backing was no longer reliable, they needed other ways to make money.
Yang Fenglin knew in his heart that his father would not lie to him, but he still stubbornly said, "I believe her, she won't change."
"Do as you please. I have a lot of things to do. If you don't have anything else to do, then leave now." Yang Changping gave him the order to leave.
"Dad, please help me out again!"
"How can I help? You couldn't even get that much money by selling yourself, me, and your grandfather together. How can I help?"
Yang Changping's position certainly grants him power and status. However, he is only human and cannot be completely upright. He will inevitably use his position to his advantage.
However, he never did anything immoral. Let alone embezzling or accepting bribes, he would even carefully consider accepting gifts during holidays. So although he lived a better life than ordinary people, he was not extremely wealthy. Only in the last two years, with his nephew-in-law making a lot of money and his children being filial to their grandfather, did he get to enjoy some luxury items.
He only discovered Qi Zhong's actions during a later investigation. Qi Zhong knew his character, so he kept these things from him. Otherwise, he would have broken off relations with Qi Zhong long ago.
This is all that Yang Changping, an elder with no blood relation to her, can do. Besides, the two families are now enemies. If Qi Yunjie were wronged, it would be reasonable for him to help her out. But now it can only be said that she has only herself to blame. If she dares to do such illegal and criminal things, she should think about what kind of end result she will have one day.
"Dad, is there really no other way?"
Yang Fenglin knew his own limitations; since the evidence was conclusive, he couldn't possibly overturn the case for them.
Yang Changping softened his tone and said, "There's really no way. Let alone Qi Yunjie who's committed the crime, even if it were my own son, I couldn't save him."
Yang Fenglin suddenly looked like dried-out bacon, his eyes completely devoid of light.
Yang Changping comforted her, saying, "You have done more than enough as a friend. Don't blame yourself or feel sorry for her. She chose this path herself. Justice will prevail, and this is the punishment she deserves."
Yang Fenglin ran a hand through his hair: "Dad, I want to go see her."
"Do whatever you want. If you want to go eat guns with her, I won't stop you."
Yang Fenglin belatedly looked up and stared at Yang Changping: "Is this matter really that serious?"
He was so overwhelmed by the shock that he didn't have time to ask any of these questions.
"What else did you think?"
As soon as Yang Changping finished speaking, two lines of tears suddenly streamed down Yang Fenglin's face.
Yang Changping hadn't seen Yang Fenglin cry since he was thirteen or fourteen. Only now, with Yang Fenglin in this state, did Yang Changping belatedly realize that Qi Yunjie might be more than just a childhood friend to Yang Fenglin.
