Chapter 347: Chapter 336: Su Heyuan’s Fright After the Event Chapter 347: Chapter 336: Su Heyuan’s Fright After the Event He Hanguang’s case, because the woman stated that she angered him with her unfiltered words at the ti. In his fury, he dragged her onto the balcony and forced her to admit her fault and apologize, but she refused, and during the scuffle she accidentally fell.
The woman, being of sound mind, declared that it was an accident, and He Hanguang didn’t really intend to kill her. With the most important witness giving such testimony, and the police unable to find conclusive evidence, they couldn’t convict him of murder.
Due to insufficient evidence, He Hanguang was ultimately charged with intentional assault and sentenced to three years in prison. anwhile, He Zhuliang’s case was still in the prosecution stage.
Zong Jinghua had connections at the police station, and he told Lu Jiaxin, “That woman received ten million in compensation, and as soon as the case was closed she left the country.”
Rationally speaking, the woman made the choice most beneficial to herself, which happened to let He Hanguang off easy. I had thought that even intentional assault would get him five or six years, but it turned out to be only three.
Zong Jinghua saw the look of regret on her face and said, “Boss, if you don’t feel content, I can find soone to give him a lesson, to ensure he doesn’t have peace in prison.”
Lu Jiaxin waved her hand to indicate it wasn’t necessary. She wasn’t so flush with cash that she’d waste it on such a person.
Two days later, Nie Zhan spoke to Lu Jiaxin, “He Zhuliang has entrusted his shares to He Mingzhu for managent.”
“Is it just for managent and not a transfer to He Mingzhu’s na?”
“He transferred ten percent of the shares and entrusted another twenty-six percent for her to manage. Considering He Zhuliang’s character, he wouldn’t transfer his shares to He Mingzhu or anyone else.”
Transferring ten percent of the shares to He Mingzhu—that number was quite interesting.
Nie Zhan said, “The power of attorney has been signed, and He Mingzhu, uh, has already requested to reconvene the board eting. After working so many years within the company, she has likely gathered a group of people and is quite capable. She should be able to win.”
“As for the reason He Zhuliang has done this, I’m not sure, but there’s no doubt that He Mingzhu has beco the biggest winner.”
Lu Jiaxin said, “It’s a pity Hong Kong doesn’t have the death penalty, otherwise, for all the heinous acts He Zhuliang has committed, executing him ten tis over wouldn’t be too much.”
Nie Zhan didn’t agree with the death penalty, but he knew his and Lu Jiaxin’s upbringings were different, so he tactfully changed the subject, “My mother will be back for the New Year and she might co to see you. She does things on a whim, and if you dislike it, feel free not to pay her any attention.”
Lu Jiaxin glanced at him and said, “We probably won’t et. I’ll be traveling when school is out, and I won’t return until it resus.”
Nie Zhan knew she enjoyed traveling, and asked, “Have you decided where you’re going?”
Seeing Lu Jiaxin shake her head, Nie Zhan suggested, “Then go to Courchevel. I couldn’t make it during the sumr holidays when the ski resort was closed, so let’s go together during the winter break.”
For him, this was a small regret.
Lu Jiaxin didn’t refuse, “Your schedule is unpredictable, so I’ll go have my own fun first. When you’re available, we can et up at the Courchevel ski resort.”
This arrangent sounded fine, and Nie Zhan had no objections.
Two days later, Gu Wenfeng ca in with a file folder and imdiately apologized to Lu Jiaxin, “Boss, you gave ten thousand green currency before to hire a private investigator for He’s Jewelry. We didn’t need that much money for the investigation, so I had the private investigator look into soone else as well.”
Lu Jiaxin was puzzled and asked, “Who were you investigating? Why didn’t you tell ?”
“Ye Xin. I felt there was sothing off about this woman, but without evidence, it wasn’t right to tell you.”
“What did you find out?”
Gu Wenfeng shook his head, indicating he hadn’t opened the file bag, “This detective is highly reputed in their circles. When he handed this to , he said if we wanted to investigate further, we’d have to pay more,”
The file bag was light, and after Lu Jiaxin opened it, she poured out its contents—there was a docunt and nine photographs.
The photographs featured Ye Xin with different n, all taken in dim lighting, seemingly at night. However, they weren’t compromising photos; they were all dressed properly and maintained a certain distance.
Lu Jiaxin looked at the photos of Ye Xin, who indeed looked captivating and irresistibly charming. It wasn’t just Su Heyuan as a man who would find it hard to take his eyes off her— even Lu Jiaxin herself was transfixed.
Finding no problem with the photos, Lu Jiaxin picked up the docunt to read. After going through the docunt, she felt a tingling sensation on her scalp. The n in these nine photos were influential figures in the political, law enforcent, and financial sectors. The private detective had thoughtfully provided detailed backgrounds for all these n.
Lu Jiaxin put everything back into the file bag and then said, “Tell that detective we won’t investigate further. Also, give him an additional five thousand greenbacks, and tell him to keep this matter to himself, or he’ll be the one in trouble.”
Gu Wenfeng looked at the docunt, frowning, and said, “Did this woman do sothing illegal? I felt danger the first ti I saw her.”
Lu Jiaxin said, “Brother Gu, you should know we’re in Hong Kong, and it’s still twelve years until the handover. Right now, we’re following British law here, and I certainly don’t want to end up dead at ho so day.”
Hong Kong was quite chaotic at the ti, though the security in affluent areas was better. Places like Kowloon Walled City were a lawless mix where the governnt had no reach.
Gu Wenfeng said, “Jiaxin, I think Mr. Su still has Ye Xin on his mind. I believe you should show him this docunt so that he stops associating with that woman.”
After saying that, he added, “Jiaxin, if he gets involved with that Miss Ye, it’s likely to bring trouble to the Xie Family and his wife.”
Lu Jiaxin gave him a look and said, feeling downhearted, “Do you really think I have no heart, no feelings? Such an important matter—I would never keep Su Heyuan in the dark about it.”
Gu Wenfeng hurriedly apologized, saying it was a slip of the tongue.
Lu Jiaxin knew it wasn’t a slip, but that he genuinely cared deeply for the Xie Family, fearing Su Heyuan might bring trouble upon them. In his anxiety, he could easily make mistakes, but she did not broach the subject further, and asked with curiosity, “How co you feel Ye Xin is dangerous?”
“Intuition.”
Considering his past experience with many dangerous missions, he probably sensed the threat. Well, these deep and mysterious things can’t be explained by science.
Lu Jiaxin called Su Heyuan over and handed him the materials, “Take a look, this cost a pretty penny to find out.”
Su Heyuan opened the file bag with a puzzled look, and after reviewing the photos and the information, he felt a chill down his spine. He was fortunate, so fortunate that Jiaxin had warned him—otherwise, he could have been dragged down too, and then he would be dood.
Su Heyuan, filled with retrospective fear, grabbed Lu Jiaxin’s arm and said, “Jiaxin, thank you. You have saved my life!”
Lu Jiaxin also felt that he had dodged a bullet, considering what would have happened if he really had married Ye Xin; it would have been a disaster: “The one you should truly thank is Nie Zhan. If he hadn’t inford , I wouldn’t have known Ye Xin’s background.”
“I’ll treat you to a al soday.”
Lu Jiaxin nodded in agreent, “I’ve given you the docunt, how you handle it is up to you.”
“Alright.”
