Chapter 383: Chapter 383: Conspiracy Case (10) In-depth Investigation, Internal and External Cooperation

Translator: 549690339

Xin Zaozao left the Xin Group and directly drove to the Airport District.

Ji Baijian asked her to secretly investigate in the Airport District what kind of approach Song Zhizhi used to persuade the residents to relocate back then, and preferably find two people willing to testify in court.

She parked her car by the roadside.

Then ventured into an apartment building.

She knocked on the door.

An old lady opened the door.

“Hello, ma’am, I’m an investigator for the Song Zhizhi case and I’d like to understand a few things on-site. I hope you could…”

“I don’t know anything, don’t ask me.” The old woman hurriedly said the moment she heard it was about Song Zhizhi.

Within a second, she abruptly closed the door with a ‘bang’.

Xin Zaozao’s brows furrowed slightly.

Why are the people here so unreasonable?!

She got up and knocked on another door.

As soon as she identified herself, the door was abruptly closed again.

This pattern repeated itself over and over again.

There was no need to guess. Someone must be working behind the scenes.

She suddenly remembered a news piece from before, where the interviewed residents of this area criticized the person responsible for causing this incident and directly ridiculed Ye Wenhan’s intentional actions. Maybe this is why these local residents have been threatened.

Xin Zaozao went to at least ten households, everyone had the same attitude, and she found out nothing.

She went back to her car.

She dialed Ji Baili’s number.

Right now, Ji Baili had traveled far away to Gudao Village in Yancheng County, Liang Ping’s hometown.

He had checked into a small hotel in the town.

And then waited for his brother’s instructions.

Receiving Xin Zaozao’s call, he immediately answered: “Zaozao.”

“Baili, I’m right now in the Airport District… I came here to ask about Zhizhi’s relocation plan as per your request yesterday. But the moment they hear it’s about Zhizhi, I’m shut out, everyone is acting like that.”

“Someone is definitely doing this on purpose.” Ji Baili instantly confirmed.

“I suspect the same. Last time, Ye Wenhan had to suffer a setback because of the residents here, so he must have threatened them not to talk.” Xin Zaozao analyzed.

“Right.” Ji Baili nodded. “So it seems you are unable to find witnesses willing to testify in court?”

“It might be difficult, but I will try my best.” Xin Zaozao thought, if she kept visiting every resident, there must be one household that will stand for justice.

“You’re putting in a lot of effort.”

“Baili, you’re being too polite.”

Ji Baili gave a slight chuckle, “I’m really worried you’ll be worn out.”

Xin Zaozao was slightly taken aback.

Ji Baili didn’t want to waste any time at this juncture, “I’m handling some cases out of town as per my brother’s instructions. Be careful, you can call me anytime if anything happens.”

“Okay, you too.”

“Alright.”

After hanging up the call, Xin Zaozao thought for a while and went back to the apartment building.

There were three residential areas, with over 1,000 households.

Xin Zaozao knocked on each door. But every time she revealed her identity, the person inside just directly shut the door, not giving Xin Zaozao the chance to say anything.

After spending half a day…

Xin Zaozao had approached at least 300 households, but not a single one was willing to speak more than a word.

She couldn’t pretend not to feel disheartened.

She didn’t expect, people’s hearts could be so cold.

She had walked through two buildings and was preparing to get something to eat.

Ever since she arrived in the Airport District, she hadn’t eaten anything, and her stomach was starting to hurt.

She went to a small restaurant outside the residential area and ordered a set meal.

While waiting for her meal, she overheard a conversation at the next table.

Zaozao’s ears immediately perked up.

She looked serious.

A man said in a low voice, “Though everyone is saying that Song Zhizhi is the problem, I think there’s more to it. Otherwise, why would the property management issue letters prohibiting us from spreading rumors, threatening to prosecute anyone discussing Song Zhizhi’s issues for defamation? I personally think such actions are deliberately concealing some truths.”

“What truths could they be hiding? They’re probably just worried about further misunderstandings. The international controversy created by the demolition project has already caused enough damage to the reputation of Yanshang Country. I believe they’re simply trying to suppress the news and it’s not as complicated as you think,” another man said in disagreement, drinking his liquor.

The first man disagreed. As he sipped his drink and ate some accompaniments, he said, “I initially thought the same as you, but do you know Gao Chao, who criticized Liu Wen on the news recently? He’s the one who lives on our building’s 13th floor. He directly insulted Liu Wen and Mr. Ye in front of the nation when the journalists came to interview him. Now, he’s reportedly lost his job, allegedly laid off by his leaders for being too meddlesome. It’s quite clear that his dismissal was in retaliation for what he said on the news!”

“Now that you’ve put it that way, I’m starting to get suspicious too,” said the other man. “I too think Mr. Ye’s handling of this matter has been extremely inappropriate. In my opinion, Liu Wen’s behavior deserves condemnation. Despite knowing the country’s current crisis, he stirred up trouble, causing great harm to Yanshang County. Yet, Mr. Ye still went to him twice in person for conciliation. Doesn’t it seem strange for such a high-ranking official to get personally involved in this matter? It seems like a deliberate attempt to keep this issue heated and shift all the blame to Song Zhizhi.”

“That’s exactly what I think,” the man said as he drank, sighing, “Let’s speak less, lest we say something unfortunate. We’re just common folks, minding our own business is the right thing to do. As for other people’s matters, it’s best to keep out of them.”

Afterwards, the two men went silent.

Zaozao’s meal was served.

She slowly ate her food, not really tasting anything.

From the two men’s conversation, it was clear that they didn’t exactly agree with the so-called “violent demolition”. Even though Song Zhizhi was now in custody, the residents here bore no ill-will towards her. They instead believed that Liu Wen was the culprit. It was conceivable that Song Zhizhi had won the hearts of the people while handling the demolition project.

Since she had their support, there must be someone who would stand up for justice.

And this person…

Zaozao finished her meal quickly and re-entered the residential area.

The 13th floor… Gao Chao.

He might act as Song Zhizhi’s key witness.

She searched a few buildings before finding Gao Chao.

Gao Chao stared at Zaozao, “Who are you looking for?”

“I’m looking for Gao Chao.”

“I don’t know you.”

“I’m an undercover investigator, specifically investigating Song Zhizhi…”

Gao Chao tried to shut the door abruptly.

But Zaozao, quick as a flash, wedged her foot into the door.

Gao Chao was quite strong.

Zaozao was hit hard, and it hurt.

She held back her discomfort and said, “Mr. Gao, I know about your situation, how you spoke the truth and were retaliated against. I heard you lost your job.”

Gao Chao’s face turned pale, “What do you want me to do this time? Lose my job again? Or go to jail next time?”

“Mr. Gao, you misunderstand. I’m an undercover investigator here to find the truth, not to get you to keep quiet. Besides, I believe you mustn’t have taken your revenge lying down. Rather than keeping it bottled up, why not tell me the complete truth? Once the truth is revealed, I guarantee that you can get a job with double your current salary,” Zaozao said, trying to charm and deceive him.

She had indeed grown impressive in her persuasive skills.

Gao Chao didn’t fully trust her, but her offer seemed tempting. He said, “After all, things couldn’t get any worse for me now. Come in.”

Zaozao walked into a two-bedroom apartment.

There was a family photo in the room, featuring Gao Chao, a woman, and a child.

Looking at the photo, Zaozao asked, “Is this your wife and son?”

“Yes. My wife has taken our son and gone back to her parents’ house because I lost my job,” Gao Chao said irritably. “She constantly complained that my comments in the media led to us losing our financial income. I lashed out at her a few times and she left.”

“Haven’t you thought about bringing them back?”

“Bringing them back would just lead to more fights. I’ll wait until I find a job,” said Gao Chao, despondent.

“I suppose job hunting must be quite difficult for you now?” Zaozao asked, certain of the answer.

Gao Chao nodded, “I’ve applied to several companies and have been for numerous interviews at the job fair. All in vain.”

“Haven’t you wondered why?”

Gao Chao looked at Xin Zaozao.

“Since the other side could make you be forcibly retired, they can also make you unable to find work.”

“Damn!” Gao Chao swore.

“Mr. Gao doesn’t have to be too pessimistic. If you cooperate well with me, I guarantee I will get you a good job.”

“Really?” Gao Chao didn’t believe it.

“Really.” Xin Zaozao was sure of it.

Gao Chao hesitated for a moment, “So, what do you need me to do?”

“It’s simple, just repeat what you said to the media on the court.”

“That’s all?”

“Also, don’t tell anyone about this, when Song Zhizhi goes to court, I will pick you up alone.”

“Ok.”

“By the way, I have a few questions to ask you.”

“Hmm, ask away.” Gao Chao looked at Xin Zaozao.

“I just went to knock on the doors of other residents, and everyone treated me the same way as you did just now. Were you threatened by someone to not mention Song Zhizhi?” Xin Zaozao asked earnestly.

Gao Chao nodded, “We got a notice from the property management, or a lawyer’s notice, saying that anyone who still discusses this will be legally responsible. Most of the people here are cowards. It’s better to mind our own business, hence, everyone shut the door when they saw you.”

“The property management can send a lawyer’s letter?” Xin Zaozao immediately found the loophole.

“Who knows what kind of documents they are. Anyway, they emphasized it household by household at that time, spoke extremely seriously, and everyone believed it.”

“Do you have the lawyer’s letter?” Xin Zaozao asked.

“No,” Gao Chao answered. “The property management only showed us a glimpse of it, didn’t give it to us, and didn’t allow us to take pictures. Their attitude was quite forceful.”

“Okay, I got it.” Xin Zaozao stood up, “It’s late now; I won’t disturb your rest anymore.”

“About my job…” Gao Chao was still somewhat worried.

“I’ll keep my word, you just wait for the notice.”

“I trust you, don’t deceive me.”

“Alright.” Xin Zaozao nodded.

Gao Chao escorted Xin Zaozao to the door.

“Don’t escort me any longer, if someone sees us, they will be suspicious.” Xin Zaozao suggested Gao Chao and warned him before leaving, “Just live as usual in the next few days, don’t raise any suspicions.”

“Ok.” Gao Chao replied.

Xin Zaozao nodded slightly and left.

After leaving, she didn’t leave the community, but went directly to the property management center.

There was only a female receptionist on duty in the property management center.

She looked at Xin Zaozao politely and asked, “Miss, can I assist you with anything?”

“Here’s the thing, I dispatched a parcel a few days ago, and the courier said it’s at the property management. I’ve looked for it a few times and haven’t found it; meanwhile, they insist they had sent it here. Could you check the storeroom for me?” Xin Zaozao appeared quite calm.

“Is it registered?” The receptionist asked.

“That’s the thing; it wasn’t registered, so we didn’t find it.”

“In that case, it’s likely the courier delivered it to the wrong place.” The receptionist said, “Wait a minute, let me go look for it. What’s your name, and to which building do you belong?”

Xin Zaozao quickly came up with a response, “Owner of 3-7’s floor 5, Zhao Miaomiao.”

“Please wait for a moment.”

“Thank you.”

The receptionist left and went to their storeroom where they arranged couriers.

Xin Zaozao watched her leave and quickly walked into her reception desk, searching through various documents.

If it’s a lawyer’s letter issued by property management, then there must be a backup here.

She told herself to remain calm.

Generally, the most recent documents should be in the most convenient location for easy access.

She quietly observed.

She found the right folder in the second layer on the far right of the file cabinet and pulled it out and opened it.

She quickly flipped through a few pages.

Sure enough.

The lawyer’s letter was in the middle of this folder.

She took out her cell phone, quickly took a picture, and put everything back in its place.

Just as she stepped out of the reception desk, the staff who had just left came out.

Xin Zaozao silently took a breath and adjusted her emotions.

“Miss Zhao, I indeed did not find your parcel. You might need to check with the courier company again. If you need our help, you can come to us anytime.” The staff member said apologetically.

“Alright, thank you for your trouble. I will question the courier service again.”

The receptionist nodded.

Xin Zaozao turned around and left.

After she left, she indeed sighed a sigh of relief.

She had never done such a thing before, and the first time she did it, it was even more comfortable than she thought.

She even did not think of how she should deal with it if she which she had let the other party grasp some grip.

Luckily.

She got quite a harvest today.

Tomorrow, she needs to complete another task.

At the same time.

Ji BaiJian sat at home, his fingers operating quickly on the computer.

He has sent Ji Baili to Gudao Village. He suspected that besides the 500,000 bribes, someone must have provided Leung Ping with other benefits. These funds would likely have been given to his parents in his hometown. After all, he might change many girlfriends, but he would trust most his parents.

Of course, this is just speculation. He could only let Ji BaiJian investigate first, and he himself couldn’t just sit and wait. He needs to investigate where Leung Ping has been, whom he met, and what he has done at least in the past month. Only in this way can he possibly discover who was behind the instructing of Leung Ping.

Right now, he has breached the monitoring information network of the official family’s traffic videos, directly accessing all the traffic monitoring videos from the past month.

He quickly tracked down Leung Ping’s residence, browsed through his activity track of the past month as fast as he can.

Leung Ping usually leaves home at 12 noon, eats something at the restaurant downstairs, and then drives his ordinary car to go to his so-called work point. The work point is a poor storefront where he plays cards with some of his subordinates when he is free. After getting off work at 7pm, he usually has meals with his subordinates and returns home at 11 p.m. or even later until 3 or 4 in the morning.

After Ji BaiJian figured out his schedule, he set the time and path of his videos, and used a program to delete and skip all the videos of the specified paths within the set time.

In this way, one layer is removed after another.

In the end, only a few videos were left.

Now, he can watch these videos in the shortest time and with the highest efficiency.

He saw that a week before the incident, Leung Ping didn’t have meals with his subordinates after getting off work at 7 pm but directly drove away from his storefront, and he didn’t go home. The car was headed to an area where he rarely visited.

His car was parked from time to time on the way, and he was not driving fast.

After turning on the streets for at least 2 hours, the car disappeared from the surveillance range.

Ji BaiJian frowned.

The final surveillance camera the car disappeared from was indicating that it was headed towards a desolate place in the countryside, which meant that those places had no cameras, and it was impossible to find out who Leung Ping was negotiating a transaction with through cameras.

Ji Baijian paused the video in front of him.

He marked down the date.

He quickly started to cross-reference the activity track of Ye Wenhan at the same time that day.

However, Ye Wenhan’s activity locations that day were only the Commercial Management and his villa, he didn’t go anywhere else.

The same goes for Qian Guanshu.

So…

Did the other party make a transaction over the phone?!

No way.

If they didn’t meet, there would be no cash transaction, and any bank transfer information could be investigated. The only safest way would be face-to-face.

But.

Ye Wenhan and Qian Guanshu didn’t appear at the same place where Liang Ping showed up that day!

Did he get the time wrong?!

Ji Baijian fell into deep thought.

At that moment, he seemed to have reached a dead-end, just couldn’t figure it out.

The more confused he was, the harder he pushed himself.

Just like that.

The phone suddenly rang.

Ji Baijian looked at the caller ID and slowly answered, “Baili.”

“I’m currently at Liang Ping’s hometown and have a bit of an understanding of his family situation,” Ji Baili reported.

“Go on.”

“Besides Liang Ping, there’s a younger brother and sister in his home. His sister is still in college, Liang Ping’s parents are farmers, but they haven’t been farming for many years. They bought a house in the local town, and the house is under Liang Ping’s name. Liang Ping’s brother got married and also bought a house in the town, reportedly gifted by Liang Ping. It seems that Liang Ping treats his family well.”

“Anything else?”

“There’s more.” Ji Baili swallowed, then said, “I heard that Liang Ping’s parents are planning to return to their hometown to rebuild the old house. However, right now their hometown area is undergoing land acquisition, which hasn’t reached their property yet, but it’s said to be imminent. According to the local land acquisition policy, houses within the planning scope are not allowed to be rebuilt, and if they do, it will not increase the housing area, meaning that it would be a waste in the end.”

“You mean, Liang Ping’s parents don’t mind wasting money?” Ji Baijian hit the nail on the head.

While on the phone with his brother, Ji Baili didn’t need to elaborate any further and kept nodding, “Exactly, the neighbors are advising Liang Ping’s parents not to be rash, since the housing acquisition will eventually happen, rebuilding would just be a waste of money. Liang Ping’s parents said this was arranged by their son, who is making big money in the city and misses home. He planned to return once he made enough money, so he wanted the old house refurbished. Even if it ends up being wasted due to land acquisition, he doesn’t mind as he has plenty of money.”

“So, now that the alleged illicit money has all been confiscated by the judiciary and Liang Ping, in reality, does not have any extra money. According to his previous income, he bought houses for himself, his brother…” Ji Baijian started to summarize.

“And he supports his sister’s education,” Ji Baili added.

“Yes, he supports his sister’s college education, he should not have much money left, it’s unlikely that he is so extravagant.”

“Oh, I just found out that Liang Ping’s father got a driver’s license. They said he bought a car worth 20 yuan, paid in full,” Ji Baili added.

“So we can infer that Liang Ping suddenly came into a significant sum of money. Where did this sudden windfall come from? Now we need to figure out where this money actually came from,” mumbled Ji Baijian.

Ji Baili agreed, “Yes.”

“Okay, stay there and do two things,” Ji Baijian thought for less than half a minute.

Ji Baili knew that he would be stationed there for quite some time.

Ji Baijian cut to the chase, “First, gather and summarize all the money that Liang Ping spent in his hometown. Every expenditure must be substantiated. Second, figure out where Liang Ping’s parents’ money came from. Did it come from Liang Ping’s account or was it given to them in cash by someone? Both tasks are crucial. Report to me any leads you might find.”

“Okay,” Ji Baili nodded.

“Try to keep it discreet. Don’t reveal your identity. Be cautious.”

“Got it.”

Without further ado, Ji Baijian hung up.

He stood up.

He had spent the entire day attempting to hack into the official family’s internal traffic monitoring network. Apart from eating, drinking and using the bathroom, he barely moved at all.

He rubbed his shoulders and opened the french windows to step out onto the outdoor Sky Garden.

He lit up a cigarette, letting his mind wander.

One week. It most certainly wouldn’t be enough.

There were too many pieces of evidence to gather, too many consequences, too many hidden plots, too many restrictions…

After putting out his cigarette, he picked up his phone to make a call.

It was already quite late.

Yet, the other party would always pick up on the first ring of his phone call.

Sometimes, Ji Baijian felt that Jun Mingyu was too enthusiastic towards him.

He said, “I need a favor.”

“I’m always at your service,” Jun Mingyu jokingly remarked.

“Could you pass a message to her?”

“What news?” Jun Mingyu asked in surprise.

“Have her delay the court session.”

“How can she delay?” Jun Mingyu was somewhat agitated, “It’s hard to change anything Jun Minghan decides. Even if Song Zhizhi insists on it, it might not be possible, unless you have clear evidence that can force a delay in the case. Otherwise, it’s just an impossibility.”

“You hold Jun Minghan in high regard.”

“Not that I hold him in high regard.” Jun Mingyu was very serious, “It’s that he indeed has this ability, and is ruthless.”

“So, it’s an opportunity to teach him a lesson.”

Jun Mingyu was skeptical, “Are you really confident about this?”

“I believe my wife can do it.”

“I really admire you both.” Jun Mingyu said, “I wonder if there will be a day when I die because of you.”

“As long as we keep our agreement.”

Meaning, he won’t die as long as he keeps his word.

Jun Mingyu was speechless, “Alright, I’ll do my best to get the message to Song Zhizhi. As to how she manages to delay the court session, that’s your business. I really can’t do anything about it.”

“Delivering the message will be enough.”

“I will let you know in due course.”

“Hmm.”

They both hung up the phone.

Ji Baijian put his phone down, looking out at the bright lights of Jin City.

One day, he and Song Zhizhi will together… peacefully and securely look down on the beautiful scenery of Yanshang Country!

The next day.

Song Zhizhi opened her eyes on the hard bed.

In fact, she couldn’t sleep at all.

The living conditions were too poor, the food wasn’t good, and she had too much on her mind.

She didn’t know to what extent Ji Baijian could deliver within a week.

She got out of bed.

The door was opened. “Come out and line up for washing and using the toilet. Hurry up!”

The prison guard was very strict, his tone exceptionally harsh.

Song Zhizhi followed along and walked out.

Fortunately, she had a cell to herself.

She didn’t need to cram into a room with many others.

She obediently queued at the back of the line and then went to the shared bathroom.

There were prison guards stationed at the bathroom as well. Despite being female, it was still somewhat awkward.

Song Zhizhi could only try to get used to it.

After using the toilet, she went to wash and brush her teeth.

Right as she was about to leave, a female prison guard approached, “Your face isn’t clean. Wash it again.”

Song Zhizhi frowned.

The female prison guard walked closer, reached out to take the towel from her hand, and slipped a note into Song Zhizhi’s hand.

Song Zhizhi was stunned. She immediately clenched the note, as the prison guard harshly threw the towel into the sink, “If next time you waste time by not washing properly, you won’t be allowed to wash your face!”

Song Zhizhi nodded.

She hurriedly picked up the towel from the sink and left the bathroom to queue up for a breakfast she couldn’t eat.

She returned to her cell.

In that moment, she quickly opened the note in her hand. It read, “Delay the time.”

Four words.

Song Zhizhi instantly changed.

If she guessed correctly, it must be someone from Jun Mingyu’s people who came to give her a tip-off, and Jun Mingyu must have been arranged by Ji Baijian. Ji Baijian must be still short of evidence and needs more time.

She was also worried. A week was too rush. It was impossible to get so much evidence and wash away her accusations, let alone accuse Ye Wenhan.

And Ji Baijian has no effective means to delay the court appearance, so he can only let her figure it out and delay it in her own way.

She’s inside right now and could hardly help at all with this case.

It’s said that because the court appearance is imminent, not only are others not allowed to visit, but her lawyers can only meet her once before the court date due to strong requests. So, even Wen Tian didn’t dare to see her lightly.

She clenched her teeth.

Ji Baijian was out there helping her gather evidence to clear her name. Now she needs to give him more time.

But, how can she delay the court time for the case?!

Asking Jun Minghan or Ye Wenhan is useless, they’d love to see her unable to turn things around sooner.

She meditated.

Telling herself to remain calm.

Since Ji Baijian passed on the message asking her to delay the court time without offering any strategies, he must believe that she can come up with a solution.

Ji Baijian is too good at assessing a person’s capabilities. If he believes she can do it, she certainly can.

So, she just needs to calm down and think carefully at that moment.

Perhaps because Ji Baijian gave her confidence, she suddenly didn’t panic as much anymore.

She thought of many methods.

Delaying court is usually due to three reasons: first, the discovery of extremely effective evidence. The court recognizes the evidence but considers it insufficient and asks for more. The court will postpone the court appearance; second, effective evidence is still present, but the court does not acknowledge it. The litigant desperately needs time to validate the strong evidence and requests the court to delay. This is the only remaining possibility as the court will not approve entirely effective evidence. Hence, the only thing left is the third, something happens to the litigant

It seems Song Zhizhi knew what she had to do.

She tore the note into pieces and knocked on the door to use the bathroom.

The guards were unhappy, “You’ve just gone and now you need to go again!”

“Diarrhea.” Song Zhizhi explained.

Unhappy, the guard still took her to the restroom.

Of course, Song Zhizhi didn’t really need to use the bathroom, she just needed to throw the note into the drainage.

She stepped out of the public restroom.

She walked slowly.

The warning aside her grew impatient. “Hurry up!”

Song Zhizhi remained slow.

“I said hurry up!” The guard raised his voice.

Song Zhizhi glanced at the fuming guard and finally sped up.

When she reached her cell, she didn’t let herself in.

Before the guard could scold her angrily, Song Zhizhi suddenly said, “I want to see Ye Wenhan.”

“You think you can see anyone you want to see?! And Ye Wenhan?! Who do you think you are!” The guard was full of sarcasm.

Song Zhizhi was somewhat stirred.

Before she was brought here, she really didn’t know how harsh the environment here was.

Those held here, even if they hadn’t been sentenced yet, had no human rights!

She said, “I have something very important to tell Ye Wenhan, something that affects the official family’s interests. If you do not report it, and something goes wrong later, can you bear the consequences?”

“Are you threatening me?!”

“You should know very well why I’m here?! My case is so important that Mr. Jun himself is presiding over the trial. I don’t need to explain how important it is. Now I need to tell Ye Wenhan some of my matters. If you strongly resist me, if I change my mind later, Mr. Jun and Ye Wenhan won’t let you off!”

The guard’s face darkened.

He was really threatened in a few words.

This case indeed involved a lot, and important figures were involved in processing it. If he missed any information from this case, he really couldn’t bear it.

He hesitated for a few seconds, not immediately agreeing, but not yet refusing, and said coldly, “Get inside!”

Song Zhizhi knew that he would report it.

No one here dared to slack off on her case.

Indeed, the prison guard quickly reported to his superiors after Song Zhizhi returned to her cell.

The top leader who received the message was also hesitant, but in the end, he still called Ye Wenhan, asking reverently, “Mr. Ye, Song Zhizhi just asked to see you and said she has very important matters to discuss with you, concerning her lawsuit.”

“Really?” Ye Wenhan sounded doubtful.

The top leader hurriedly said, “Yes, and she threatened that our officers would bear a significant responsibility if they don’t cooperate. We were afraid of delaying any important matter of yours, so we thought it was best to report it to you. Would it be necessary to prepare an interrogation room for you, or should we just deny her?”

“Call me back in half an hour.” Ye Wenhan sounded authoritative.

“Yes.”

Ye Wenhan hung up the phone.

What on earth was Song Zhizhi up to? Wanting to see him all of a sudden?!

No matter what, he felt that Song Zhizhi had bad intentions.

Then silence followed.

“Mr. Ye.” A man’s voice suddenly interrupted him.

Ye Wenhan was snapped out of his thoughts.

He had forgotten that he was in the middle of a therapy session.

Starting today, his father had arranged for a doctor for him. After some analysis, it was determined that his problem was psychological, not physical, so they chose therapy first.

For the sake of keeping it from prying eyes, the doctor had arranged home visits.

Today, Ye Wenhan did not go to work, but stayed home for treatment.

He said, “I was just thinking about some work-related issues.”

“Mr. Ye, you really are a competent manager. I am honored to be living in Yanshang Country.”

Ye Wenhan loved nothing more than to be flattered.

At this moment, he felt rather proud of himself and said, “I have no choice. I am still young and there are many things I need to learn, so naturally, I have to work harder than others. If it weren’t for my deceased father, I wouldn’t have postponed my recovery.”

“Mr. Ye, I truly admire you for not sparing any effort to serve the people at the expense of your health, but Mr. Ye, please believe that your health is also a matter of public concern. If your health fails, how can you manage the Commercial Management organization effectively, and how can you leave better descendants for Yanshang Country?”

“I did consider this point.” Ye Wenhan seemed somewhat helpless as he said to the therapist, “How am I doing now? If I hadn’t been framed, this wouldn’t have happened…”

“It’s not too severe, it’s just a hurdle in your mind.” The doctor comforted, “Once you overcome this mental block, I believe you’ll immediately get better. Please don’t worry, Mr. Ye.”

“Ok.” Ye Wenhan nodded.

The doctor said, “Let’s stop here for today, we’ll take this step by step.”

“That’s good, I have some work to deal with.”

“Mr. Ye, you should make your health a priority.”

“I know. Thank you for today.”

“It’s my duty, see you tomorrow, Mr. Ye.” The therapist left respectfully.

Ye Wenhan watched his therapist leave the room and gently close the door behind him.

He hesitated for a moment, then picked up the phone, “Arrange an interrogation room for me. I’ll be there in half an hour to see Song Zhizhi.”

“Yes.” The person on the other end was extremely respectful.

He hung up the phone.

He was curious to see what tricks Song Zhizhi might be trying to play this time?!

What could Song Zhizhi possibly do, other than sit waiting for her doom in the detention center?!

He sneered.

Thinking about the doctor reassuring him earlier that the situation was not severe, he felt somewhat excited and relieved.
