Chapter 233: The moon is dark and windy, cold and dark
Bai Jiashu's Adam's apple rolled, and he took a few deep breaths to calm himself down, then said, "How's the matter I asked you to investigate going?"
Secretary Xiao nodded. "Based on the existing information and photos, the contact between President Xie and Zhou Zongzheng began ten years ago. When President Xie was just an adult, he was arranged by Old Lady Xie to go to the Country A Chamber of Commerce for exchange and study. He met Zhou Zongzheng at that chamber of commerce. Zhou Zongzheng had not yet made a name for himself. Among all the Zhou family members, his qualifications were not outstanding, but his abilities were not the worst."
"At the time, the elders' preferred successor was not him. However, according to the information I found, those successors either died of drug abuse or committed suicide due to drug abuse. The most ridiculous death was that of being stabbed to death by a homeless person in the street."
"Before Zhou Zongzheng, the Zhou family selected three successors who all died in accidents. Their resumes were very good. Judging from their work style, they did not seem to be the kind of people who would indulge themselves and rely on drugs for control. The Zhou family suspected that it was Zhou Zongzheng who did it, but there is no evidence."
Every successor before Zhou Zongzhen was very outstanding, but they all died absurdly and ridiculously in the end. What does this method look like? It's more like a revenge.
The heirs who are carefully trained will eventually die. Even if the risks are taken into consideration and other heirs are trained, once they are chosen, they will still die in the end.
If the Zhou family continues to choose other people, more people will die.
Wasn't this a kind of psychological torture for the head of the family at that time?
When Bai Jiashu heard this, he was not surprised at the result at all.
Secretary Xiao continued, "The patriarch of the Zhou family was very angry at the time. Three of his sons died within three years. He personally trained each of them. He had finally overcome all objections and supported them to take the position, but they died within a year. Moreover, each of their deaths left the Zhou family with a mess of projects that had not yet been dealt with... This incident caused panic among the people, and everyone had their own ideas."
"Uncle Zhou Er and others led the proposal to let the elders take over. At that meeting, the head of the Zhou family was so angry that he vomited blood, but he had no one to choose from. The remaining children were either too young or useless, with only Zhou Zongzheng as the only one."
"If the Zhou family head doesn't choose him, then his line will be kicked out of the inheritance rights. Uncle Zhou will take over. As the former head of the family, he will be dead if he is in poor health and has no one to use."
"He urgently needed to push another heir to the throne to protect his own rights and interests. He had no choice but to choose Zhou Zongzheng, the son he least favored."
"Uncle Zhou and his men were not convinced. After Zhou Zongzheng took over, they put forward many harsh demands. I have no idea what they were. They limited him to three years. If he fails to meet the target, he will be replaced."
"There is one more thing, Mr. Bai. Xie's real estate investment has been very successful in Country A. Thanks to Zhou Zongzheng's help, they have bribed many local officials. They formed cliques in the local area, bought and sold land to make a profit, and resold the forcibly expropriated land. The huge profits they obtained were all kept in Mr. Xie's private bank account in Country A."
"Any clues about the whereabouts of this money?" Bai Jiashu asked with a complicated expression.
After he finished speaking, without waiting for Secretary Xiao to reply, he shook his head and sneered, "If it can be found out, it won't be a secret. I'm afraid that Mrs. Xie knows nothing about the use of the money. Xie Tingke has made a perfect fake account of the business in Country A over the years. Even if he is discovered, he will only say that it was a reward, a political donation to bribe local officials through Zhou Zongzheng. Because of privacy issues, it cannot be made public."
This is Xie Tingke.
Do things flawlessly and impeccably.
If Xie Tingke hadn't revealed his true colors and attracted his attention, he might not have made those bold guesses.
"You have used so many connections to find out about these things. Xiao Xiao, you know the rules and how to tell your subordinates." Bai Jiashu instructed coldly, "Clean up the tail and don't let him find out."
"Boss Bai, don't worry, Boss Xie won't notice us."
"In the past few months, Xie Wude has been sending people to secretly investigate him and has also sent a lot of people to follow him. Unfortunately, those detectives were caught." Secretary Xiao felt regretful.
Xie Wude is really a useless person. He is strangled by Xie Tingke. To be exact, the entire Xie family is strangled by Xie Tingke. The annual dividends are all in Xie Tingke's hands. When old lady Xie dies and Xie Tingke sells the Xie family, what can those people do?
"Mrs. Xie gave up power too quickly. Mr. Xie has too much power. If it weren't for his reputation, I'm afraid even Mrs. Xie wouldn't be able to say anything." Secretary Xiao added, "You and Mr. Xie may fight, but Mr. Xie may not be able to defeat you. You just need to focus on Miss Xie and start with Miss Xie, and Mr. Xie will fall apart. Mr. Xie and Miss Xie must have a private affair!"
"At this critical juncture, if the affair between Mr. Xie and Ms. Xie is exposed, those people on the board will not let him go without your intervention."
This scandal... is so ugly that it is enough to destroy a group's century-old reputation and ruin a family's century-old reputation.
As soon as he finished speaking, Secretary Xiao saw Bai Jiashu's face turn pale, he covered his chest, and coughed even more violently.
He mustered up his courage and spoke faster, "Last week, Mr. Xie asked someone to buy a rare sapphire diamond ring at the Saint-Arc Auction House... The name engraved on the bottom of the diamond ring is...Xie."
Bai Jiashu's face darkened and his voice immediately turned cold.
"Shut up, you've already looked up enough information. Among the information you found, some is what Xie Tingke wants you to know, such as the diamond ring at the auction house."
He was breathing heavily, clutching the clothes on his chest tightly, his face turned pale, and then his voice was filled with anger, "Xiao Xiao, watch your mouth. If I hear the word private affair again, you will go to the Human Resources Department to collect three months' salary, and you don't have to come here anymore."
"Go down." He said coldly.
The hall returned to silence.
The man was still sitting by the window, his eyes gazing at the night with unconcealable anger.
As the clock hands slowly moved towards zero, the city sky was dotted with colorful fireworks like the Milky Way, and the New Year's bell finally rang.
The cell phone didn't ring.
Bai Jiashu was coughing and suddenly felt something was wrong. He quickly took out a handkerchief to cover his mouth, and a trace of scarlet blood overflowed from the corner of his lips.
...
Xie Shiyuan remembered to call the man.
If you miss a date, you must not miss the blessing.
Who knew that Xie Tingke's eight-digit car was so fragile that it broke down in the mountains halfway through the journey.
The moon was dark and windy, cold and dark.
There is no village in front, no shop behind, and not even a street light.
