Chapter 678: Chapter 429_2

Xu Liang murmured to himself.

Forty million...it’s a significant amount even for a company worth several billion, enough to seriously impact its finances.

Yet the other party invested in a field unrelated to the Amcor Company.

"That’s a bit concerning."

Xu Liang noted his heavy doubts in his mind.

Zhuge Rong is suspicious, and the two clear cash flows are also problematic when combined... Xu Liang must handle this carefully!

Immediately, he looked up and instructed the person beside him:

"Have Li Tao look into the charity and ferry company’s details, and also investigate the relationship between Zhuge Rong and them."

Yang Ruoxi nodded, then asked somewhat surprised:

"Then what are we going to do?"

Of course...

Xu Liang took a deep breath, his gaze becoming firm.

"Go to the welfare institute, check Zhuge Rong’s identity!"

The other’s credentials are too strange, as if they were randomly fabricated back then as a ’outline,’ unremarkable then but suspicious to people now in 2005.

As they say.

Seeing is believing!

Since the resume states that Zhuge Rong grew up in the Sunshine Welfare Institute, then... Xu Liang will go there!

After all, if this information is true, there must be information left behind at the welfare institute from his early years, revealing his identity.

Of course.

If nothing is found...

Xu Liang’s eyes darkened, flickering with a sharp light.

If nothing is found...then the problem is significant.

Could it be possible that a person who lived in a welfare institute for over a decade left no trace? Impossible!?

As for whether the other would purposefully disguise his identity information...

Highly possible!

But speaking again.

The other’s identity was registered in 1984, while Zhao Jie’s case happened in 2005!

Xu Liang couldn’t believe that in 1984, the other could foresee the current situation and hide all clues.

If the other doesn’t have such a superpower...

Then don’t blame him.

"Let’s go!"

Without hesitation, Xu Liang decisively stood up and gathered his people.

Before leaving, he looked back at Zhao Jie lying on the bed.

Zhao Jie continued to writhe like a worm, her consciousness enveloped in darkness-induced terror.

It’s hard to imagine just how she might have offended the so-called Zhuge Rong.

Xu Liang gave her a deep look, then turned and left the next moment.

...

...

"President Wang, what’s really going on with this case?"

Two o’clock in the afternoon.

Amcor City Pipe Engineering Company.

Inside the office.

Defense attorney Ye Ji had organized the case information over the past few days, pondered but found nothing, and walked into the office to face Wang Chenghua directly.

"Snap!"

He threw a stack of documents onto the desk, furrowing his brow.

"From what I see...it’s very difficult to defend you; there are too many procedural violations in the case, leaving no hope for winning!"

Ye Ji shook his head, speaking sternly with a solemn tone.

"Not to mention anything else."

"Simply, certain areas had frequent solution cleanings over a short period..."

"Even without ensuring the pipeline hadn’t any safety hazards, it’s clearly a violation!"

The sewers are inhabited.

Despite Eastern Country’s officials striving to prevent residents from becoming vagrants.

Despite this being Upper City!

But there’s no doubt people live in the sewers.

"Even if Zhao Jie wasn’t injured, the company’s actions constituted severe operational violations."

Ye Ji stood in front of the desk, looking at the seated man in the chair, filled with confusion yet containing a hint of probing.

If he sensed correctly...

The case is like what the plaintiff’s lawyer Xu Liang thought, the case has absolutely more beneath the surface!

"Heh, it’s none of your business."

In a trance, the person folded hands on the chair spoke, sending forth a low voice.

"Just tell me what you need."

Who was speaking?

Precisely the chairman of Amcor Pipe Company involved in this administrative case, Wang Chenghua!

The other looked exactly like the photos Yang Ruoxi found, with a protruding forehead, a mole at the corner of his mouth, slightly thick lips, appearing somewhat cunning.

Seeing this, Ye Ji restrained his thoughts, speaking slowly:

"I need an accountable person!"

He didn’t know nor care what the company did secretly.

As a dog kept in line, he simply needed to bite when Wang Chenghua commanded!

This time, Ye Ji spoke grimly:

"The company’s mistakes are vast; to resolve the case swiftly, there must be someone to bear this responsibility."

"I mean, someone who can stay tight-lipped, to take all the blame!"

For example, the source that led the illegal cleaning, all need bearing.

This will cost a significant amount.

First to compensate officials, then Zhao Jie’s compensations, meanwhile the company still needs regulatory reorganization.

But Wang Chenghua’s goal is clear, he simply wants the case ended quickly, to conceal the people behind it!

As for the cost...

As long as he connects with the opposite party, what’s lost now can be regained later!

"Alright, I’ll arrange it."

Wang Chenghua replied in agreement.

Upon hearing, Ye Ji nodded, ready to turn and leave, but paused suddenly, furrowed his brow, and looked back at him.

After prolonged thought, eventually opening to inquire:

"Boss, why is the company targeting a hostess..."

"Don’t ask what you shouldn’t know!"

Wang Chenghua waved his hand.

Ye Ji obediently refrained from asking further, turned and left after being denied.

And watching his back...

Even Wang Chenghua couldn’t help but take a deep breath, suppressing heavy emotions within.

Once certain there’s nobody nearby.

He pulled out his phone, sending a message to a foreign number.

[Wang Chenghua: Everything’s been arranged, Zhao Jie can’t affect the case, it doesn’t matter even if that lawyer is capable, it’ll pass soon...]

He waited for a long while.

The foreign number replied with a single word.

[Mm.]

Seeing the word.

Wang Chenghua sighed in relief, his hanging heart finally settled.

He looked up at the phone, a complex gaze in his eyes.

The other’s identity...

Frankly, it’s all false on the surface!

And precisely because Wang Chenghua knew this point, knew the other’s true identity, he treated them with such respect, saying nothing against their wishes!

Just a mere Zhao Jie...heh, frankly, had it been the other’s prime...unexpected wouldn’t occur.

It’s only lately, after the other finished hiding abroad, that they returned, avoiding rash exposure, lacking useful subordinates.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have to clean up after them, right?

As for whether cleaning up after someone would result in tearing the tissue paper...

"I guess not."

Wang Chenghua checked himself again.

"Zhuge Rong met me privately, just a few months ago, and merely privately called a couple of times."

"If this still exposed information..."

Saying.

Wang Chenghua laughed silently, shaking his head:

"Unless..."

"He installed surveillance in my house."

...

...

Four thirty in the afternoon.

The sun hung low on the horizon, yet the sky remained daytime, set to swiftly transition from bright to dark within an hour.

Some shops closed early.

Upper City, suburbs, Sunshine Welfare Institute.

The welfare institute closed its main entrance.

Their lives are quite secluded mainly due to these reasons: management, safety, education.

Most here are orphans; without strict management, the likelihood of losing people, literally losing rather than losing face, is high.

Safety and education need no elaboration.

Previously, outsiders wouldn’t arrive at this time, but today’s different...

"Knock knock knock~!"

A sudden knocking resounded through the welfare institute.

Soon, the female director opened the door, peeped out a gap, eventually focusing her gaze on the two individuals standing at the entrance.

"Who are you looking for?"

The female director asked Xu Liang and Yang Ruoxi, puzzled.

Looking at this approximately sixty-year-old director before him.

Xu Liang displayed a mild smile, speaking slowly:

"Hello, I apologize for the intrusion without an appointment, I’m here to learn about whether Sunshine Welfare Institute in the last century..."

"Ever adopted a child?"

"His name is Zhuge Rong."
