Chapter 210
Xia Entang was serious about being Chu Huaiqin's assistant. That very day, he followed Chu Huaiqin home, following him wherever he went. Whether it was filming commercials, performing, or interviews, there was no place he couldn't go. He'd remind everyone to eat whenever it was time. That's right, when it was time for dinner, Xia Entang didn't go to Chu Huaiqin to remind them. Instead, he went to the person in charge.
"It's time for dinner, Director He, you should eat."
"Reporter Ma, it's twelve o'clock. You must be hungry."
"Photographer Tao, what do you want for dinner? I'll treat you."
Director He/Reporter Ma/Photographer Tao: ...
Xia En's status was high, so few dared to disrespect him. As soon as he said so, they'd immediately call it a day and eat. Gradually, this rumor spread, and whenever Chu Huaiqin's activities were involved, the staff, who had never eaten on time, actually started eating on time.
Everyone sighed: It is indeed the warmth of the world!
Directors and persons in charge of various activities: What can I do? Even if I cannot ask Qing Entropy Group for help in the future, Xia Group is a giant with businesses in various fields. There will always be a time when I will ask for help. In this case, it is better to give face to Xia Entropy so that it will be easier to talk to him in the future.
Xia Entang accompanied Chu Huaiqin on film sets and at events, and Xia Entang's side was almost ready. The collaboration they'd discussed a few days ago was simple: Chu Huaiqin would confront Chen Minghui up front, while Xia Huang would intercept Chen Minghui's retreat and disrupt his network of connections.
So, a week later, while the heat of his airport speech was still high, Chu Huaiqin handed over the information about Chen Zigao's kidnapping and murder to the police. When the police summoned Chen Zigao for questioning, reporters happened to see and film him. Once the news was released, Chen Minghui once again became the focus of attention.
Chen Zigao's information was also leaked, with his birth certificate clearly listing his father as Chen Minghui. At the time, Chen Minghui had been married to the Chu family's daughter for less than six months. Most shockingly, there was a video and documents showing Chen Minghui accompanying his wife for a prenatal checkup, fully confirming his knowledge of her pregnancy.
Soon, the news about Chu Huaiqin's "illegitimate child" from more than a month ago was dug up again. At that time, several top figures in China came out to clear Chu Huaiqin's name. After Chen Minghui's operation, it was presented to the audience that he divorced Chu Huaiqin's mother and then married the current Mrs. Chen. But the question is, why is Chen Zigao a few months older than Chu Huaiqin?
This question was raised at the beginning, but it was whitewashed into saying that Chen Zigao was adopted, so the news gradually sank. But whether Chen Zigao was adopted or not can be known by looking at his face. Chen Minghui and Chen Zigao have an 80% resemblance. Those who say he was adopted are simply treating the audience as fools. Add to this the evidence now, and Chen Minghui is simply a marriage fraud.
"Ahhh, this is so disgusting. I was fascinated by Chen Minghui for a while because of his looks. I thought it was rare to find a man who was both handsome and capable. I'm throwing up."
"Oh my god, judging from their dates of birth, Mrs. Chen must have been four months pregnant when Chen Minghui married the Chu family's daughter. Damn you jerk."
"What if he didn't know Mrs. Chen was pregnant? Who hasn't had a few girlfriends before getting married?"
"Don't wash it. The video of him accompanying Mrs. Chen to the checkup during pregnancy has been released. This family, conspiracy, conspiracy, it's too scary. Combined with the news that Chen Zigao murdered Chu Huaiqin, it's hard to say whether the old man of the Chu family died of natural causes."
"Think about it, as soon as Mr. Chu died, the Chu family's daughter divorced Chen Minghui and immediately left for a foreign country. Was she afraid of being killed?"
"Fuck, that's too likely."
"Chen Zigao is so terrifying. He was only fourteen at the time, and he actually had Chu Huaiqin drowned in the sea. How could such a vicious person still be alive today?"
"My dear brother, you are really lucky. The old man is right. Those who survive a great disaster will surely have good fortune in the future. Chen Zigao is now an adult. He must pay the price for his crimes."
"Chu Huaiqin said that the Chu family is his. Gao Hui Group was formerly the Chu family. Chen Minghui should return the Chu family to you. Don't think that just because you change the name, it belongs to your Chen family. Give it back."
"That's right, return Chu to you, the gigolo."
News came out in waves on the Internet. The stock of Gaohui Group, which had finally stabilized, suddenly fell to the limit. It was okay in China because there were limit-up regulations, but it was not so lucky abroad. The stock of Gaohui Group fell at an alarming rate, which was shocking to see.
Chen Minghui saw that this wave of news was coming in with such force that he knew that the wolf cub was showing its fangs.
"I should have strangled him when he was little, what a scourge." Chen Minghui gritted his teeth as he watched the various news reports breaking out. Then, with a fierce glare, he stared at the assistant standing before him. "How is it going? Have you contacted the police? What do they say? Can he be released on bail?"
Chen Minghui didn't expect Chu Huaiqin to be so ruthless. He had actually been collecting information and wanted to kill his brother.
"The reply from the other side is that since the case happened a long time ago and happened abroad, it will be difficult to handle. They cannot release the person until the investigation is thorough." When the assistant contacted the other party, no matter who he brought up, the other party refused to agree to be released on bail, which shows that Chu Huaiqin has put in a lot of effort.
"Please arrange it. I need to have dinner with someone." Chen Minghui didn't believe it. He had been in business for so many years, and they would be completely clueless. "The Zigao incident happened so long ago. Finding evidence is not easy. Also, it didn't happen in China. If that doesn't work, I will try to extradite him to stand trial abroad."
The world abroad is a market of capital. As long as you have a lot of money, there is nothing you can't do.
"Yes," the assistant replied, but he felt that the chances of success were slim. In his opinion, Chen Zigao was just the appetizer. More importantly, he asked, "Chairman, is he coming for you?"
"Hmph, I built Gao Hui up single-handedly, but he wants to." Chen Minghui knew Chu Huaiqin. He had a low regard for money, but he was ruthless. Otherwise, he wouldn't have always targeted Zigao for his mother when he was a child. After thinking for a moment, Chen Minghui said, "Find someone to bring up a topic. Say that he framed his own brother for the family property. Also, say that he fabricated the agreement."
Chen Minghui didn't want to treat him like this, after all, he was his child, but if he didn't fight back, he would bite his neck.
"Arrange some reporters, I will go to see Zigao tomorrow." Chen Minghui understood very well that if he wanted to win the war with Chu Huaiqin, the war of public opinion was the most important part.
That night, news about Chu Huaiqin fabricating the agreement appeared on the Internet. Many big Vs also led the rhythm to say that Chu Huaiqin was unrighteous and framed his biological father and brother. For a time, the Internet audience was divided into two camps. Some people scolded Chu Huaiqin for doing whatever it took to get the family property, while others supported Chu Huaiqin and asked Chen Minghui to come out and explain clearly.
Just when everyone was arguing heatedly, Chen Minghui went to see Chen Zigao the next day and "happened" to run into reporters and even a number of self-media, who were broadcasting live in the live broadcast room.
"Mr. Chen, is it true that Chu Huaiqin fabricated the agreement?"
"Mr. Chen, what do you want to say about Chu Huaiqin framing his father and brother for the family property?"
"Mr. Chen, is Minghui Group the predecessor of the Chu Group?"
In front of the police station, a group of reporters and social media outlets surrounded Chen Minghui, asking him about the recent explosive news. Everyone wanted to interview Chu Huaiqin, but unfortunately, both his company and his agent refused. Chu Huaiqin had barely appeared in public recently, aside from filming commercials, and reporters couldn't find him.
Today we finally received news that Chen Minghui was here, and a group of reporters rushed in.
"First of all, I want to apologize to the public because family affairs have encroached on public resources," Chen Minghui bowed to the camera. He is not yet fifty years old, and he is well maintained and has a good-looking face. After decades of business experience, he has an elegant temperament with a bit of dominance, which still makes many people fall in love with him.
Before he even started talking, someone in the live broadcast room of the self-media spoke up for him, saying that such a person would never be able to do what Chu Huaiqin said.
"First, let me address the first point. The agreement Huaiqin mentioned doesn't exist at all. As for why he said that, I'll ask him clearly. Secondly, the allegation that Zigao murdered Huaiqin is even more impossible. Zigao has been kind since childhood and wouldn't even step on an ant to death. How could he possibly have killed his brother? There must be a misunderstanding, and I believe the police will give Zigao justice."
"Then what about the birth certificate and pregnancy test video of Chen Zigao that were circulated online? Were you really with Mrs. Chen before you married the daughter of the Chu family?" the reporter asked.
"Yes, I admit that. However, when she got pregnant, she didn't say it was my child, but her ex-boyfriend's. She's my ex, and although we weren't meant to be together, she came to me for help when she got into trouble, and I couldn't just sit back and watch." Chen Minghui looked grief-stricken, and continued, "I'm the one who let Qing Cen down. I should apologize to her."
The reporter suddenly realized something and said, "So you didn't know this beforehand! Then you..."
"This bastard is shameless, but he really knows how to talk."
Xia En, who was at Chu Huaiqin's house at the time, was so angry that his face turned blue when he heard what Chen Minghui said to the reporters.
Chu Huaiqin smiled. This was expected. If he didn't know how to speak, how could he possibly coax his mother to be so devoted? "Why get angry? It's not worth it."
"Qingqing, this man, this man..." Xia En was so angry that he actually threw dirty water on his son like this. He was not worthy of being a father.
"Don't be angry. Turn around. Let me see your tie. It's crooked." Chu Huaiqin turned Xia Entang, who was staring at his phone angrily, and began to straighten it. Anthony's team was slowly moving in from abroad. They had arranged to have dinner with him tonight to discuss some details about the film, and Xia Entang wanted to come along. As the time was almost up, this guy came to him angrily, holding his phone.
"Qingqing." Xia En raised his head slightly and looked at the man who was carefully adjusting his tie. He felt sorry for him. He didn't know why someone would be willing to hurt such a good man.
"He's not a good person to begin with, so why do you think he has good intentions? Don't be angry, I've seen through all his tricks." Chu Huaiqin had completely lost all interest in that man when his mother died. So when Xia Huang asked him if he would be soft on Chen Minghui, Chu Huaiqin could express his attitude so decisively.
If he doesn't take action, it's fine. But once he does, he has to take back what belongs to him.
