"Before we met, he had followed and protected me once. The photo should have been taken at that time... "
"Yeah! I think so too!"
Qu Ning, who had just seemed a little quiet and melancholy because of his worries, could only describe the expression on his face with words such as physical and mental pleasure or high spirits.
Li Jincheng looked at him silently and decided not to talk to him again.
From another perspective, his character is somewhat similar to Ren Yuqiao's.
After dinner, he watched Ren Yusen finish his homework. When Li Jincheng was about to leave, he met Ren Yuqiao who had just opened the door and walked in.
Seeing him, Ren Yuqiao didn't show the slightest surprise and said, "Are you here?"
"Yeah, but I have to go."
After thinking for a while, Li Jincheng added: "There are some dishes left for you in the refrigerator. Remember to eat them later."
"I send you."
"Need not."
"I insist."
Seeing him turn around and close the door, Li Jincheng had no choice but to follow him speechlessly.
"By the way, I just saw Qu Ning at your house..."
"The adults from both families know each other. He will stay at our house when he comes to Hong Kong Island."
"Yeah, but then again, he seems to like you..."
When Li Jincheng finished saying this, he realized that he had never asked Ren Yuqiao about his sexual orientation before.
Although he felt that his personality was a little difficult to get in touch with before, after this period of time, Li Jincheng has unconsciously lowered his guard in front of him.
Generally speaking, Ren Yuqiao is also the kind of person who feels very reliable, but reliability is still reliable. Li Jincheng also feels a bit abrupt when saying such words to him.
He was about to say something to ease his inner embarrassment, but looking at Ren Yuqiao's appearance, he didn't seem to hear what he just said.
In the office, He Zhenxuan looked at He Zhouran in front of him and said, "Second uncle, I won't tell grandpa this matter."
Three years ago, He Zongtong gradually handed over the power in his hands to He Zhenxuan.
But not all, but for several years, the two of them handled some of Rongsheng's affairs separately.
There are big loopholes in this management method. Probably because he was dissatisfied with the identity of He Zhenxuan's heir, from that time on, He Zhouran began to lead people to embezzle the company's property.
At the beginning, because they had no experience, they once set up shell companies or some trumped-up projects. He Zhouran was responsible for the financial power of the company. After doing this several times and finding that they had been safe and sound, he became bolder.
In the past year, he has filled the embezzled property into Rongsheng's normal trading and construction projects.
Although Rongsheng recently faced a handover of power and finance, usually they would not check in such detail, but God is not as good as God. A few weeks ago, He Zhenxuan's assistant accidentally saw a receipt from a cleaner. Later, he Then he handed the documents to He Zhenxuan.
The raw material company on the document had no dealings with them, and this document was exactly the voucher that He Zhouran used to make false accounts two years ago.
It can be said that 300 million is not the amount of a single transaction, but the entire property of the company that He Zhouran and his men have embezzled in the past three years.
When he first learned about this incident, He Zhenxuan was suspicious of He Zhouran and He Qixuan, who were responsible for the company's finances, but the current investigation results have proven that He Qixuan is innocent.
With all the witnesses and evidence available, He Zhouran threw away the information in his hand and said, "What do you want me to do?"
"I have two paths for you to choose. One, if you leave the company, I will no longer pursue the whereabouts of this money. Two, you can use your own money to fill this vacancy. The company will retain your current position, but the second uncle , I hope you won’t do such a thing again in the future.”
The He family has a family trust, and even 300 million is probably nothing to He Zhouran.
He Zhenxuan felt that he did this just because he was dissatisfied with his grandfather's decision.
He Zhenxuan hated to associate family ties with these things, but the education he had received since childhood and the efforts he had made for Rongsheng over the years made him unable to abandon this place.
At the same time, he did not think that his second uncle had the ability to manage this company.
There was an uncomfortable silence in the office. After a while, He Zhouran sat back on his boss's chair and said, "I choose the second option."
He Zhenxuan nodded and walked out of the office with those materials.
As soon as the door closed, He Zhouran, who was in a rage, was already holding the Parker pen in his hand and slamming it on the desk in front of him.
When he got home, Li Jincheng, who had already received a call from He Zhenxuan and said that he would go home for dinner tonight, was already cooking in the kitchen.
He Zhenxuan walked up behind him softly and hugged him, saying, "What? Are you in a good mood?"
"The matter has been resolved?"
Seeing that he was also smiling, He Zhenxuan looked at him slightly surprised and said, "How do you know?"
"I can tell it just by listening to your voice on the phone."
"What should I say? It's better to know your husband better than your husband?"
"up to you."
The warm air in the kitchen contains a faint fragrance from the food. After a while, when the soup-making time is over, the two of them can eat together.
Li Jincheng broke away from He Zhenxuan's arms, handed him the strawberries that had been washed and placed in the basin next to him, and said, "How to solve it?"
He Zhenxuan explained what happened to him in detail, then looked at the strawberries in his hand and said, "Are strawberries on the market recently? Why do you feel like you are eating them every day?"
Li Jincheng looked away with a somewhat unnatural look and said, "It's better to eat fruits when they are on the market..."
After a pause, he added: "But your second uncle is very easy to talk to."
"The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. And once Grandpa knows about this, he probably won't be able to stay in Rongsheng anymore... So... I'm quite happy for his decision. No matter what, we are all a family." people… "
"What about the information you asked someone to collect?"
"It was destroyed when he said those words."
"Isn't it a little too early?"
"Um?"
Li Jincheng still wanted to speak, but the soup cooking in the pressure cooker next to him made a sharp sound. He also thought that everyone was always tolerant of his family, so he stopped talking.
He had already made plans to take a look at the black mist on He Zhouran's body when he went back to He's house for dinner on the weekend. If the black mist disappeared, he would be completely relieved.
But he did not wait until the weekend. Two days later, Li Jincheng received the news that He Zhenxuan had been kidnapped.
At that time, Li Jincheng was talking to Xiao Peiting, who called him every day. Xiao Peiting wanted to ask him to go shopping together the next day.
She felt that Li Jincheng's appearance was very good, but his clothes did not bring out his advantages. Li Jincheng didn't know whether it was because her daily life was too boring, or whether his appearance made her feel fresh.
But no matter what, he and Xiao Peiting are not the same person.
After hanging up Xiao Peiting's call, Li Jincheng received a call from He Zongtong.
He Zongtong had not called him for a long time, so when he saw the caller ID on the phone screen, he already had a bad feeling in his heart.
He Zongtong's voice didn't sound anxious on the phone, or maybe he was already anxious. He just said: "Jincheng, I just received a call. Zhenxuan was kidnapped..."
After hearing what he said, Li Jincheng felt a buzzing sound in his head. After a while, he stabilized his steps and said, "How much do they want?"
"One hundred million."
"Did you call the police?"
"Not yet... But Jincheng, I don't plan to call the police..."
"Why?!"
"I don't want Zhenxuan to be in any danger."
"So you're going to pay them?"
"Yes, and I have already found someone. I am more willing to trust these people than the police."
"But… "
Before Li Jincheng finished speaking, there was a commotion on the other end of the phone. Not long after, He Zongtong hung up the phone.
Li Jincheng was still in school at this time, holding on to his mobile phone. He asked for leave from the school leaders, and soon felt the He family's mansion in the middle of the mountain.
There was a tense and depressing atmosphere in the room. There were many people sitting in the hall, and looking around, they looked like plainclothes people.
Everyone in the He family was there. When Li Jincheng saw that the black fog on his body had become thicker and He Zhouran looked like nothing happened, he couldn't help but clenched his hands fiercely.
At that time, he wanted to pinch He Zhouran's neck and ask him where he had taken He Zhenxuan, but considering He Zhenxuan's safety, he had to suppress the anger in his heart.
"Jincheng, don't worry...the old man will find a way to rescue Zhenxuan..."
Uncle Shao, who was patting his shoulder, was trying his best to comfort himself, but his face had the same worried expression as his own.
Li Jincheng nodded, then walked to He Zongtong's side and said, "Grandpa, I have something to say to you..."
In the study, He Zongtong looked at Li Jincheng critically and said, "Before Zhenxuan's accident, he was investigating something."
"What's up?"
"There is a sum of 300 million in funds in the company that is unaccounted for."
"He would tell you such a thing? Why didn't I know?"
He Zongtong's tone was full of suspicion and distrust. Li Jincheng suppressed his anger and said, "This matter involves my second uncle."
"What's the meaning?"
"Three years ago, when you gradually handed over your power to Zhenxuan, he led his men to embezzle the company's property. Over the past three years, they have embezzled exactly 300 million in property."
"Where's the evidence?"
"After the results of the investigation came out, Zhenxuan gave his second uncle two choices. The second uncle decided to stay in the company and use his own money to fill the vacancy. When Zhenxuan heard about it, he destroyed all the evidence in his hand."
"So there is no evidence?"
Seeing Li Jincheng's suddenly changed expression, He Zongtong's eyes became even sharper. He said, "Jincheng, you should know that I asked Zhenxuan to marry you because you could fend off disaster for him, but since you entered our After returning home, do you think how many things happened to our family? Miaoqing was forced to leave Hong Kong Island, and Zhenxuan no longer trusted or got close to me because of it. Now... you actually suspect that Zhouran will kidnap Zhenxuan, Jincheng, in your eyes we Is the He family so unbearable? Zhou Ran is Zhenxuan’s second uncle!”
Li Jincheng knew before that He Zongtong didn't like him, but he still felt uncomfortable when he heard him say such words.
There was even a moment when he felt so aggrieved that he wanted to cry.
He once thought that He Zhenxuan's relatives were his relatives. Even though he knew what they thought of him in their hearts, he still did everything he should do.
Is it because he loves He Zhenxuan that he must be patient with these people
After thinking this way, he showed an almost inaudible smile and said, "So you don't believe me?"
"Do you want me to confront Zhou Ran with you?"
"If it was indeed him who did this, then if you ask him rashly like this, aren't you afraid that Zhenxuan will be in danger?"
"You do not dare… "
"I really don't dare. No matter what, I won't risk the safety of another relative because of some bullshit noble birth. My son will never do such a thing!"
"Li Jincheng!"
Li Jincheng sneered and said, "Today's matter is troublesome for you. Nian Zai Zhenxuan is your grandson, and you usually value him so much. I beg you, please don't mention this matter to He Zhouran."
"He Zhouran is your second uncle!"
"I regard him as my second uncle, but do you ever regard me as your family member?"
After saying this, Li Jincheng left the study leaving the stunned He Zongtong.
He didn't keep saying that he was here to protect He Zhenxuan from disaster. In that case, even if something happened to him, he would definitely not let anything happen to He Zhenxuan!
