After much thought, He Zhuliang finally decided that Gu Xiuxiu was the most suspicious. When He Mingzhu came to visit him in prison, he expressed his suspicion.
He Mingzhu was very surprised and asked: "You mean Fourth Aunt? How is that possible? Fourth Aunt is unconscious now, how could she be the mastermind behind this?"
He Zhuliang was not sure, so he asked He Mingzhu to test it out: "She has some leverage over me, maybe she gave it to Lu Jiaxin."
He Mingzhu shook her head when she heard this: "Dad, after Lu Jiaxin took Fourth Aunt and Haifan away and settled them down, she went on a trip abroad and hasn't come back yet."
After hesitating for a while, she still said, "Daddy, Lu Jiaxin has only been in Hong Kong for more than a year, and the ones she has the closest contact with are Su Heyuan and Nie Zhan. Su Heyuan doesn't have this ability, and as for Nie Zhan, I don't think he would do such a thing that would harm others and benefit himself for a little girl."
She believed that the one who put the He family in crisis this time must be He Zhuliang's enemy. The other party must have been lurking in the dark for a long time, otherwise he would not have produced so much evidence at once.
He Zhuliang felt that nothing was impossible in this world: "Let someone check Nie Zhan, and you go visit the fourth concubine later."
He Mingzhu didn't dare to refuse openly because of his prestige. So she said, "Dad, do you know Yun Boqiang? Now the people in the serious crime team accuse Uncle Wei of killing this man."
"Dad, Yun Boqiang's son Yun Cheng is now a reporter for Oriental Daily. His father-in-law is a shareholder of Oriental Daily. Your arrest and the company's affairs being exposed so quickly were all his doing."
He Zhuliang said that the other party must have made a mistake and he didn't know any Yun Boqiang at all.
He Mingzhu said, "Dad, I asked someone to check. The evidence obtained by ICAC this time was provided by Gao Sir's sister Gao Wen. This woman has been secretly investigating you for several years."
He Zhuliang's eyes changed instantly. This woman had been investigating him for so many years and he didn't even notice it. It was obvious that there was someone behind him.
Thinking of this, He Zhu's conscience sank: "Mingzhu, I have dealt with Gao Sir, but the ICAC found out that I was wrongly accused. I have been acquitted, so how can I deal with him? Mingzhu, someone is trying to mess with me this time, you must stay calm and don't fall into their trap."
He Mingzhu nodded with a heavy heart.
He Zhuliang asked the question that concerned him the most: "How is the company doing now?"
He Mingzhu lowered her head and said, "The stock price has fallen by 40%. The board of directors has removed you from all your positions. Now Uncle Zou will temporarily take over the position of chairman."
The stock price stopped falling only after the change of chairman. Otherwise, the stock price would have continued to fall if the subsequent events came out, and the company would have to be suspended if it fell further. However, because the decline was too severe, shareholders and stockholders were extremely dissatisfied with Ho Chu-leung.
Although He Zhuliang had expected this, he still felt uncomfortable when he heard it in person: "Your mommy is not in good health. I am in this state now. You should comfort and accompany your mommy more."
He Mingzhu nodded.
When the visit was about to end, He Zhuliang said, "Go to Gu's house to see the fourth concubine and find out what she has to say."
Compared to outsiders, he was more worried about Gu Xiuxiu because this person had too many handles on him.
He Mingzhu had no choice but to accept. More than an hour later, she arrived at Gu's house. When she heard the servant say that Gu Xiuxiu was in the back garden, she put down the cakes and fruits she brought and went to the back garden.
Gu Xiuxiu had previously hired twelve people in total, but now the number has been reduced to six. However, due to proper arrangements, everything is still in order.
He Mingzhu arrived at the back garden and saw Gu Xiuxiu busy among the flowers. She walked up and said, "Fourth Aunt, let me do it!"
Gu Xiuxiu turned her head, looked at her with a puzzled look and asked, "Who are you?"
He Mingzhu paused, she was unconscious again. She quickly calmed down and said with a smile: "Fourth Aunt, I am Mingzhu, don't you remember me?"
Gu Xiuxiu put down the scissors in her hand, thought for a moment, frowned and said, "Mingzhu, don't go hiking so often. The sun is very harmful to your skin. Look at your skin now, it's rough and dark yellow. People in their thirties don't have skin as bad as yours."
Well, this time my memory is confused.
He Mingzhu forced a smile and said, "Fourth Aunt, you are still blaming me, but aren't you also basking in the hot sun? Fourth Aunt, let's go inside and talk!"
Gu Xiuxiu said that she was too old to care about these things: "Your grandfather said that the flowers in my room have lost their fragrance. I have to cut some fresh ones to plant after I finish hoeing the soil."
"Go inside and take a rest first, then come back and cut it."
The two returned to the living room, and He Mingzhu asked, "Fourth Aunt, have you been okay these days?"
Gu Xiuxiu said that she was doing fine, and then asked about her academic performance. After knowing that she got all A's, she praised her, "My Mingzhu is very capable. But Mingzhu, it is better to marry well than to do well. There must be many outstanding boys in the school, you can pick the best one among them."
This brought He Mingzhu back to her college days. She had a lover in college, but she didn't dare to tell her family about his poor family background. They dated secretly for three years, and after graduation, Li Xuanqi asked her to go on a blind date, so she had no choice but to tell him.
Unexpectedly, her boyfriend broke up with her after she confessed. Later, she found out that her boyfriend had taken the money given by his family to study abroad. She was deeply hurt that time, and she no longer believed in love and devoted herself to work. As for blind dates, she would rather die than go.
Seeing her in a daze, Gu Xiuxiu pulled her hand and said with a smile, "What's wrong? Do you like anything? If you like anything, bring it back for me to see."
He Mingzhu came back to her senses, shook her head and said, "No, I just want to study hard now and not think about personal matters for the time being."
Gu Xiuxiu felt that it was time to think about it at the age of 18: "Mingzhu, you should hurry up and find someone in college. After you graduate from college, let your mother arrange it. She will only consider the family background and whether it can help the He family, and will not care about the other person's character and ability. You will not be happy if you marry such a person."
He Mingzhu's eyes suddenly turned red. Gu Xiuxiu had said these words to her more than ten years ago, but she didn't listen to them at the time and even thought that Gu Xiuxiu was trying to sow discord between her and her mother. Facts have proved that what Fourth Aunt said was good advice, but it was a pity that she understood it too late.
After talking for a while, Gu Xiuxiu felt tired. She yawned and said, "I am not as energetic as before now. Mingzhu, I have to go back to my room to rest. You should go back too!"
"good."
