Chapter 7
Li Shuo called a friend in the judicial system and asked him to help with the investigation, and then returned home uneasy.
He thought about it, and the people who have offended recently can only be counted on Shao Qun's head. Otherwise, based on his character and person, he would never think of anyone who would be so bad with him.
Shao Qun is Li Chengxiu's former boyfriend, but he really doesn't want to use the word "boyfriend" to describe that person, but he is a bastard who doesn't know what respect is at all because of a little power. How could he give Li Chengxiu to such a person.
He returned to his room, sat at the desk, stared blankly at the notebook in front of him, with a heavy heart. After thinking for a long time in the dark, he slowly opened the notebook and found out the information about the Benhui real estate project.
Benhui Real Estate is a company that he cooperated with when his career first started. The boss is a northerner, with a bold personality, like a big brother, and has a certain support for him. The two had a deep personal relationship for a time.
But this person has a shortcoming, that is, he has too much ambition and pursues the rapid expansion of the company. As a result, projects are blooming everywhere, causing a huge funding gap. He still remembered that late night several years ago, the boss came to him and proposed to jointly make a beautiful account, and he could obtain a loan from the bank. As long as the project was operational again, he could repay the loan immediately, and no one would know. And promised him shares.
He refused without thinking. He has never done anything against his will for money, and he is even more reluctant to touch any high-voltage lines.
So the boss gradually distanced himself from him.
But since their contract has not expired, he still does the audit work at the end of the year. At that time, Benhui's accounts were much better than what he knew, and they looked seamless. Of course, he doubted that no fake accounts could be completely real. As long as the audit was carefully checked, loopholes would definitely be found. He didn't tell anyone under him, he stayed up all night for three nights and found evidence of falsification from the sea of complicated data, so he went to question.
He still can't forget the scene where the man about the same age as his father cried and begged him and promised him repeatedly. A friend, he finally relented. He took a fluke and hoped that after the project made a profit, he could really repay the loan without knowing it, so he didn't know what to do, and issued an audit report according to the fake account. .
With this audit report, Benhui loaned 1200 million yuan from the bank.
After the incident, the boss didn't mention him, and he didn't have any evidence against him, so he just contributed a few testimonies, lost some reputation, and fined him a sum of money, just like this case. It doesn't matter. Except for the boss and him, no one knew the tricks.
But his heart was not cleansed from this incident.
It was the biggest mistake he had ever made and the most regretful decision he had ever made. He regretted many times why he didn't discourage all of this, and seeing his friends take risks, he played a role in fueling the flames.
After that, he changed the name of the company, approached two partners, and established a new office.
This incident was a wake-up call that hung on his head forever, and it was also a scar in his heart, but this scar was brutally opened by Shao Qun.
He didn't quite believe that Shao Qun had evidence against him. Even if this matter was revealed from the boss's mouth, it was just empty talk. But as long as there is enough energy, he can make a big fuss in it, at least it is enough to disturb him.
Shao Qun did this just for Li Chengxiu...
Looking at the huge data group, Li Shuo recalled the nights he spent looking for loopholes all night. The conflicting mood he wanted to find but was afraid of found made him sleepless. His eyes gradually lost focus, and the information in his mind was chaotic, as if to break through the cage of consciousness and explode completely.
Sure enough, anything that goes off the rails is bound to lead to corresponding trouble. He did something against his will, in exchange for years of guilt, and another thing that betrayed his principles, in exchange for malicious revenge. Money and fame and fortune can't shake him, but only his feelings drag him into the water again and again. The realm of life he most hopes to achieve is to be alone without hurting others, so he tries his best to deal with everything rationally. A person, and the facts prove his idea, only with sufficient rationality can he avoid risks as much as possible and benefit others and himself.
He doesn't regret everything he did for Li Chengxiu. Even if he didn't start from his love, it was his duty to help his friends. He didn't do it well, but he didn't do anything wrong either.
It's just that he must better control himself and no longer be held hostage by his emotions.
He didn't sleep all night, and when it was normal working hours in China, Li Shuo called several friends again to find out the situation. Similar to what Xiang Ning said, the authorities had already filed a case and sent someone to the office to investigate, but before they got the search warrant, the lawyer withheld the project information and refused to give it, and they were arguing all morning.
The status quo is that as soon as he returns to China, he will be taken away for investigation immediately. Whether he can find out anything, don't know, but if he doesn't return to China, this kind of small economic case will not be pursued to the United States to arrest him. Always safe.
In this case, of course you can't go back. He didn't know how many pits Shao Qun had prepared for him to jump in. If Shao Qun's energy was large enough to convince the boss to bite him with a reduced sentence, he would really be in trouble.
Li Shuo asked the lawyer to continue to follow up, and at the same time, he found a private investigator to investigate the legal representative of Benhui Real Estate - the nephew of the boss.
After that, he talked to Xiang Ning on the phone, and Xiang Ning sighed for some reason: "Can you tell me what's going on now? Forget it, I'm not stupid, the one who fought in your office last time was Shao Qun, right? ?"
Li Shuo smiled bitterly: "Yes, he probably did it."
"My dear brother, I've known you for so many years, how could you be so fishy for your feelings?"
"Brother Xiang, this is not just a matter of feelings. Shao Qun is bullying others. After all, Cheng Xiu has worked in our office. He is a diligent and kind honest person, can I be regarded as invisible?"
"You...hey...then what do you do now, you have been staying in the United States?"
Li Shuo lowered his voice and used that mellow and magnetic voice to soothe: "Soldiers will block, water will cover, everyone who does evil will definitely pay the price." .
Shao Qun, I'm waiting to see your price.
After hanging up the phone, Li Shuo enlightened himself for a long time, but his mood was still a little uneasy. He thought about it, took out his mobile phone and called Li Chengxiu.
The other end of the phone deliberately lowered his voice: "Hello, Brother Li."
"Cheng Xiu, are you at work?" Li Shuo closed his eyes, imagining Li Chengxiu's current demeanor and actions, the more he thought about it, the more interesting it became, but he couldn't laugh.
"Yes, wait a minute for the man behind the [online game] BOSS."
After a while, the background voice on the phone was much quieter. Li Chengxiu said seriously: "Brother Li, when will I talk to your mother? I'm ready."
Li Shuo smiled: "What have you prepared?"
Li Chengxiu said embarrassedly, "Practice speaking."
Li Shuo suddenly felt warm in his heart, and he said softly, "The jet lag is always wrong, don't worry."
"Well, good." Li Chengxiu asked hesitantly, "Brother Li, you don't seem to be very energetic, did you just wake up?"
"No, I..." Li Shuo closed his eyes and pinched his eyebrows. His handsome face was obviously swollen and tired. He was afraid to say what he wanted to say, because he thought that Li Chengxiu would probably know how to say it. reject.
"Brother Li, what's wrong with you?"
Li Shuo sighed lightly: "Cheng Xiu, I'm sorry... I had an accident here, and I can't go back for the time being."
"You, are your parents..."
"No, they're fine, it's my office that's the problem."
Li Chengxiu asked, "Is it serious?"
Li Shuo snorted: "This matter is very complicated, I was framed. Now as soon as I return to China, I will be investigated. Everything happened too hastily, and I couldn't try it in a short time, so I couldn't Do you understand the risk of returning home?"
Li Chengxiu asked in a low voice, "...Is it serious...?"
Li Shuo said solemnly, "I didn't want to tell you what worried you, but considering your safety, you still have to be prepared."
"what?"
"This time, Shao Qun is responsible for most of the incidents."
The other end of the phone sucked in a breath of cold air.
Across the entire Pacific Ocean, Li Shuo could feel Li Chengxiu's trembling when he heard the name, which made him feel distressed. He said angrily: "The matter I am now responsible for has been closed for many years, and it has not involved the interests of any third party. Those who frame me will not only get no benefits, but will cause trouble for themselves. It may be that other interests drove him to do this, and most of them are personal grudges against me." He paused, "When it comes to personal grudges, I only think of Shao Qun at the moment."
Li Chengxiu's voice already revealed a bit of crying: "Brother Li, is it really him?"
Li Shuo pondered: "Ten *."
"Then you can't come back?"
"I'm afraid not in the short term, I can't risk returning home. If I stay in the United States, the worst case scenario is that I will never be able to enter the country, but I go back...don't know what will happen."
Li Chengxiu's breath was trembling.
Li Shuo said in a hoarse voice: "Cheng Xiu, I'm very worried about you now. If Shao Qun did it, he would stop me from returning to China in the first step, and then he would find you in the second step. I have already asked the assistant to find you a house again. You Be mentally prepared as well.”
Li Chengxiu whispered, "Brother Li, I'm sorry..."
"Cheng Xiu, you don't need to apologize, it's not your fault [tutorial] Glory Revolution. From yesterday to now, I've thought about it a lot, thinking about my parents getting older, thinking about what happened this time... Maybe it's fate My advice, maybe I should stay in the United States for a while. I have a question I want to ask you now, and the answer to this question is what I want to hear.”
"what?"
"Would you like to come to America?"
The other end of the phone fell silent again.
Li Shuo covered his eyes with his hands and asked this sentence, which also took a lot of his courage. He knew very well that there was no particularly deep relationship between the two of them. Li Chengxiu was more grateful to him. "I know it's a big decision that needs to upend your past life and leave the environment you're familiar with, which is hard for anyone. But everything can be overcome if you want to. Language, environment, Friends, work, all can be overcome, I am here, as long as you are willing to come."
"I...I don't know."
"I will ask the assistant to assist you in applying for a visa. During this time, you can think about it carefully. Even before you board the plane, you can go back on it, but I really hope that one day I can hug you in the United States."
In order not to let his parents see the abnormality, Li Shuo took a bath and shaved his beard carefully to make himself look better.
When he first returned to China, he had experienced the hardships of starting a business, and he had never asked his family for a penny or complained about his suffering. Now that his parents were at an age where they could enjoy their family, he couldn't let them worry about himself.
Packing himself up, he went downstairs to eat.
The first thing Mr. Li saw when he saw him was: "You went to see Jinxin yesterday, how is he?"
"It's good, the swelling should subside in a few days." Li Shuo suddenly remembered that he hadn't ordered meals for Zhao Jinxin.
"Oh, that's fine, I hope there won't be any sequelae."
Li Shuo called the restaurant closest to Zhao Jinxin, asked them to deliver a lunch to Zhao Jinxin's house, and instructed them to leave a note saying: Take medicine on time.
During dinner, Mrs. Li asked when her son would return to China.
"Oh, no hurry." Li Shuo smiled, "I haven't had much work in the office recently. I'll come back and accompany you more."
"That's great." Mrs. Li said happily, "Your Uncle Zhao bought a holiday villa in Qiandao Lake. He has been inviting us to play. This time you just came back. Let's go on vacation together."
Li Shuo's smile froze: "Together? Together?"
"Yeah, Jin Xin usually doesn't like to go home, but now that his hand is injured, if we go on vacation together, it will be convenient to take care of him."
"Uh..." Not only did he not feel in the mood for a vacation at all, he didn't even want to be in the same room with Zhao Jinxin.
"Your mother has already bought four skirts." Mr. Li winked at Li Shuo.
"...Really." Li Shuo smiled reluctantly, "Then I have to prepare a camera and take pictures of my mother's most beautiful appearance." He really couldn't find a reason to refuse.
Mrs. Li smiled and said, "By the way, didn't you keep saying that you want me to chat with your boyfriend?"
"Forget it, he's very shy, maybe I'll take him back to the United States next time, and then you can have a good chat." A loneliness flashed in Li Shuo's eyes.
"Alright, come here, son, and taste the song of Mu Qing, the reborn sea cucumber."
Just after eating a few mouthfuls of food, the phone rang twice. For fear of missing an important call or text message, Li Shuo picked it up and saw that it was from Zhao Jinxin: "You actually used the restaurant's meals to deal with me." A crying face.
Li Shuo quickly replied: "Have you taken the medicine?"
"I don't want to eat, I don't want to take medicine, unless you come to accompany me."
"I'm having trouble today."
"You can come here if you don't. Send me a nude photo of you."
Li Shuo put the phone on the table and ignored him.
The phone began to ring the sound of text messages one after another.
Li Shuo's parents looked at him in confusion.
Li Shuo said embarrassedly: "My assistant is passing documents." He hurriedly took a few bites of food, took his mobile phone and went back to his room.
Opening the phone, Zhao Jinxin sent several messages.
"Just slap the ass-the stock will do."
"Okay, boobs."
"Waist or thigh, we can't compromise anymore."
"You can always do it with your hands."
"Uncle Li, I like your hand so much, take a picture and send it to me. I promise you will be good today, okay?"
Li Shuo didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He had never seen such a shameless and rude person. He turned on the camera, took a photo of his hand and sent it over: "You do what you say, be obedient today."
Zhao Jinxin returned a smiling expression and added a sentence, "I will obediently think about this hand holding my baby all day long."
Li Shuo's face was embarrassed for a while, and he took a photo of himself with his middle finger and passed it on.
Zhao Jinxin is simply a fox.
After a while, the phone rang again, and Li Shuo saw that it was from Zhao Jinxin. He hesitated, but couldn't stop his curiosity and opened it.
"I know you're in trouble at home, and I'm willing to help you."
Li Shuo froze, and his fingers quickly pressed the button: "Don't investigate my business any more!!"
"Who told me to like you?"
like……
Like how much is a thing?
Does Shao Qun like Li Chengxiu? It should be liked, but what he brought to Li Chengxiu was all harm.
Does Li Chengxiu like herself? I should also like it, but I don't know how much gratitude and dependence are poured into it.
What about Zhao Jinxin? For people like Zhao Jinxin, the frequency of a sentence that he likes to use is estimated to catch up with the mantra, except that it sounds good, and it is useless.
Li Shuo smiled wryly and replied with a stern message: "Don't meddle in your own business."
