Chapter 319 Trading Secrets
Shen Jiheng had thought about this issue carefully on his way back. Ever since the poisoning incident at the old lady's birthday banquet, the Shen family has been plagued by troubles.
The once most powerful family in Chongqing has now begun to disperse, and the company's personnel are also in turmoil, as if someone is sabotaging them behind the scenes.
It's clear that someone is framing the old lady in this Zhou Yiming incident.
When the police traced her back to her, she couldn't explain herself at all.
Seeing the old lady's worried expression, Shen Jiheng could only comfort her.
"Grandma, don't think too much. We'll find her soon."
"But this child mistakenly believes that we killed Yiming and wants to seek revenge on us."
"I will find out the truth and show it to her."
The old lady held his hand and said meaningfully, "Ji Heng, it's fate that we can be siblings in this life. She is your only sister, and I hope you can be more tolerant of her."
It was their repeated leniency towards Shen Qingzhou that led to such serious consequences. This time, letting Shen Mingzhu go has only brought them more trouble.
He doesn't know what Shen Mingzhu will do next, and his biggest regret now is that he shouldn't have been soft-hearted back then.
"Grandma, I'll handle this. You should rest first."
Now that we've figured out the cause and effect, the next step is to find the culprit behind it all.
Shen Jiheng returned to his room, his mind still preoccupied with the matter. In Chongqing, the only person who wanted to deal with him was Bo Siye.
The next morning~
As soon as Han Xi got out of the car, he heard hurried footsteps. Before the person could get close, Leng Yu quickly stopped him.
"Mr. Han, I am Mrs. Qiu. I have something to say to you."
Han Xi turned around and saw Mrs. Qiu looking at her with a worried expression and pleading eyes.
“If it concerns Minister Chiu, I don’t want to hear it.”
“I know you hate him for betraying you, but as his wife, I have to think about my two children. I have to save my husband.”
Han Xi sighed and said, "But you can't save him. He has to pay the price for the mistakes he made."
Seeing that Han Xi was about to leave, she said urgently, "How about I exchange a secret with you?"
Han Xi looked at her with a puzzled expression, "I just don't know if your so-called secret is worth it."
Mrs. Qiu looked around, her gaze falling on Leng Yu, and said softly, "This is not something that can be told to others. Could you please let her leave first?"
"No need for that. She's my confidante. You can just say it directly."
Putting aside the fact that Han Xi needs to be wary of these people, even if it is a secret, there is no need to hide it from the people who are risking their lives to protect him.
Mrs. Qiu had no choice but to nod, take a deep breath and say, "I've met the people who were secretly working with my husband, and I even know them."
Han Xi immediately became interested and asked curiously, "Who is this person?"
Mrs. Qiu replied earnestly, "It's Shen Jiheng!"
Upon hearing this, Leng Yu grabbed her arm and warned, "If you dare to slander my CEO, I'll break your arm."
Mrs. Qiu winced in pain and said uncomfortably, "I wanted you to leave because I was afraid you would lay a hand on me. You only know how to protect your boss, but you never thought that he was the real culprit."
Han Xi immediately told Leng Yu to stop.
This is very strange. Yesterday, Minister Qiu also said righteously that the person behind it was Shen Jiheng. She has always felt that this person is sowing discord.
But now Mrs. Qiu is saying the same thing. If they're not in cahoots, then there's definitely something wrong.
"Leng Yu, let her finish speaking first."
Leng Yu had no choice but to obey Han Xi's words and let go of her hand, instead staring at her with a warning look.
Mrs. Qiu had already said what she wanted to say and couldn't take it back, so she continued, "Although my husband always gets his assignments from Zhou Yiming, there was one time I saw Shen Jiheng bring a woman to see him."
"What woman?"
"It's Bai Xue. I believe you are also familiar with this woman. They made my husband steal the formulas for Yun Zhi Lian and Qian Ye Meng Hui, and also made him try to take more shares from you."
After hearing what she said, Han Xi remembered that Minister Qiu had indeed always wanted to buy her shares, saying that he wanted to stay in Han Shu Group forever.
"Are you sure you saw Shen Jiheng in person?"
“I’ve seen him once before at a party, and I often see him on TV and in newspapers, so I’m sure I’m not mistaken.”
So, the person Minister Qiu saw at the time could indeed have been him, but not Shen Jiheng himself?
Could there really be two people in this world who look exactly alike?
Han Xi was certain that what they saw was not Shen Jiheng because it was impossible for him to be walking with Bai Xue at that time.
“President Han, I didn’t dare to speak out in the past because I was afraid of retaliation. Shen Jiheng has immense power in Chongqing, and we dare not offend him at all. But everything we do is at his behest.”
"I can only say that you have all been deceived all along. Shen Jiheng would never do such a thing."
"I really am..."
Han Xi waved his hand to interrupt her, "Of course I believe what you say. Since you've told me all the secrets you know, I'll let him go."
Mrs. Qiu was overjoyed and excitedly asked, "Are you really willing to let him come back?"
"Yes, he's injured. Go back and get ready. I'll have someone send him back later."
Han Xi's words were sincere, and Mrs. Qiu almost knelt down to thank her.
"Thank you, Mr. Han. I will never forget your kindness. We are sorry for what we did. From now on, my husband and I will never appear in front of you again."
Han Xi nodded and smiled, "I'm letting him go because of the hard work he's done for the group for half his life."
Mrs. Qiu expressed her deepest gratitude and bowed deeply to Han Xi.
Han Xi entered the elevator with a heavy heart. Seeing that she was silent, Leng Yu hurriedly spoke up.
"President Han, are you really going to release Minister Qiu? And I don't believe what she just said. Please don't be fooled by her."
When she didn't hear a response from her, Leng Yu offered another explanation.
“I have followed the president for six years. Although I have not been by his side to protect him, I know that he is an upright person and would never do such a thing. This woman must have said this on purpose to make you release Minister Qiu.”
Han Xi murmured, "When the couple said they saw Ji Heng, they didn't seem to be lying. I'm curious about who they actually saw."
"Could it be someone who looks similar but is impersonating the CEO?" Leng Yu insisted on trusting her boss.
Han Xi nodded: "That's possible. Have him come to the company. I have something important to discuss with him. Also, what happened earlier must not be told to anyone else."
This was Han Xi's way of protecting Mrs. Qiu and preventing her from encountering any misfortune.
Leng Yu replied, "Don't worry, President Han, I will keep my mouth shut without your orders."
Han Xi nodded. More and more people were involved in this matter. Did the Shen Jiheng they had mistaken really exist?
Upon receiving the news, Shen Jiheng rushed over immediately. Stepping into the office, he asked, "I heard you had someone send Minister Qiu back. What was the reason?"
Han Xi carefully observed his reaction, trying to see if there were any details she had missed in the past.
