Chapter 312 The New Owner of Tongyun Bank
Si Ying looked at He Shan with a serious look, her eyes carrying a bit of oppression and inquiry.
After a long time, Si Ying withdrew her gaze, turned around and walked out.
"Hey, Patrolman Si——" Qiao Youyou called.
"Let her go." It was He Shan who spoke.
Zhu Lan remained silent the whole time, and he roughly guessed what He Shan was thinking.
The incident happened in He's house, and He Fang was He Shan's nephew. In a small sense, it was a family affair. In a big sense, He Shan, as the victim, did not want the government to intervene in the matter, and even burned the evidence with his own hands. The Dali Temple was unable to continue the investigation.
He Shan intends to handle the matter himself.
After Si Ying and his men from the Dali Temple left, a servant came into the room to report that He Hong had been found.
"Where did you find it?" He Shan asked.
"In...the brothel that Master He Hong often visited. When we found him, he was already drunk and unconscious."
He Shan made sure that the people from the Dali Temple had left, and then he asked his servants to bring He Hong up.
"Liu'er, don't go. Stay with me, drink with me..." He Hong's cheeks were flushed, he reeked of alcohol, his clothes were loose, and he was talking drunkenly with his eyes closed.
Seeing this, He Shan was so angry that he started coughing again, and Chu Xiuning quickly patted him on the back.
He Shan asked his servants to roll up He Hong's sleeves, and sure enough, red spots appeared on He Hong's upper arms, which was the poison of the osmanthus fragrans.
"You did a great job!" He Shan kicked He Fang, but because he was weak, He Fang just tilted his body, his face full of guilt, but not much fear.
After all, my uncle had just sent away the people from the Dali Temple, which meant he had no intention of sending me to prison.
"The degree of his poisoning is not serious, so he can still be saved." Shi Yan, who had been watching coldly for a long time, finally spoke, "I have an antidote that can save his life, but the red spots and festering scars on his body cannot be removed."
When Chu Xiuning heard that she could cure the osmanthus poison in He Hong's body, her eyes lit up and she immediately saw hope.
Shi Yan knew what she was going to say. He shook his head, glanced at He Shan and said, "He is old and his body is overdrawn. The Hundred Days Fragrance poison has already invaded his heart. There is no way."
Chu Xiuning closed her eyes, turned around and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
He Shan coughed a few times and asked everyone else to leave, leaving only He Shan in the room.
Zhu Lan and the others came outside, and Chu Xin asked in confusion, "Strange, we just found out that the angelica was hidden in the quilt, so we came here. How did Uncle He also know about it, and burn the quilt before us?"
Qiao Youyou was also puzzled, "Yeah, if he knew that the fragrance was hidden in the quilt, why didn't he get rid of it earlier?"
Zhu Lan cast his gaze towards Chu Xiuning, who sighed softly, "We only learned about the Bai Ri Xiang incident when the Dali Temple sent people to search for the first time, but in the end, those officials found nothing.
After the official left, we thought that the incense quilt might be hidden in a place that was less likely to be found. Among the objects he usually touched, only the quilt was sent by someone else. We opened it and found what was inside.
"Ah?" Chu Xin opened his eyes wide, "Then why do you want to burn it?"
Zhu Lan then spoke up, and said in a deep voice: "If this matter is investigated, it will be a serious crime. I think Master He is concerned about family affection and can't bear it."
"Yes." Chu Xiuning's voice became even lower as he spoke to everyone.
It turns out that He Shan depended on his brother when he was young and was raised by his brother.
When famine struck his hometown, his brother stole food in order to keep He Shan alive and was nearly beaten to death.
Many years later, He Shan came to the capital to do business, but learned that his brother and his wife had died in an accident, leaving behind only two children, He Fang and He Hong. He Shan had no children, so he took care of them as if they were his own.
"His elder brother is as kind to him as a mountain. He is like a brother and a father to him. It is impossible for him to send his brother's child to jail with his own hands." Chu Xiuning's voice was a little choked.
How could she not hate He Fang, who had such evil ambitions that he even harmed his own uncle for the sake of the money bank?
But the grudges and causes and effects in this world are inherently entangled, and not all hatred can be resolved. He Shan also has his own gratitude to repay.
I will not interfere with his decision, but I will definitely accompany him to the end.
At this time, the sky had turned white, and He Shan's door was finally opened. First, a violent cough was heard from inside, followed by He Shan's voice, which was more tired than before, and he asked the people outside to come in.
Chu Xiuning was the first to return to the room. She saw He Fang kneeling on the ground with a deathly pale face, and He Hong was still drunk and had not woken up.
He Shan was already seriously ill and exhausted, and today he learned that He Fang had drugged him and He Hong, which made him even more exhausted. He was clearly middle-aged, but he had white hair on his temples.
He spoke in a hoarse voice, but he did not call Chu Xiuning, but asked Qiao Youyou to come forward.
Although He Shan looked haggard, his eyes still showed insight and wisdom. He stared at Qiao Youyou for a long time before slowly asking:
"Miss Qiao, the ideas you mentioned last time were heard from others, or were they your own ideas?"
He Shan looked into her eyes seriously and asked her to tell him the truth.
Qiao Youyou touched his head and thought for a while, "I should say... I combined some theoretical knowledge of my predecessors with my understanding of the business model of Tongyun Bank and summarized it myself."
He Shan nodded slowly, crossed his fingers, and seemed to be thinking about something seriously. After a long while, he raised his head and asked solemnly:
"If I give Tongyun Bank to you, do you have the courage to take it over?"
Qiao Youyou was startled and subconsciously looked at Chu Xiuning, but Chu Xiuning nodded to her.
He Fang, who was kneeling on the ground, clenched his fists tightly, but could only stare at Qiao Youyou with unwillingness, as if he had already known the result.
"I..." Qiao Youyou was asked too suddenly and looked at the expressions of the others around her.
Zhu Lan also nodded slightly to her.
He Shan's current condition is such that even a god cannot save him. He has no children, and there are more than a hundred people in such a big bank waiting for food, so someone has to inherit.
Originally, both He Fang and He Hong were qualified to inherit the family business. However, in order to curry favor with King Qi, He Hong colluded with Anju Real Estate Company at the expense of the huge profits of the money house. He Fang was even more cruel and disregarded human ethics.
Although Chu Xiuning was close to He Shan, he did not seem to be interested in the money shop business, or he was not good at management.
Tongyun Money House is the result of He Shanda's life's hard work, so he naturally hopes that someone can inherit it.
Now, Qiao Youyou is the best candidate.
Qiao Youyou has never been a shy person. She also figured out the reason why He Shan did this, so she walked up to He Shan and said word by word very solemnly:
"Don't worry, I will use all my life's knowledge to make Tongyun Bank the best bank in Daliang and will not let you down."
He Shan smiled at her with satisfaction, and a black jade ring appeared in his hand without him noticing.
"Okay, from now on--
You are the new owner of Tongyun Bank."
