The investigator glanced at Zheng Jianxiang before continuing, "Someone reported that Mr. Zheng Jianxiang engaged in private bribery during a land bidding. We came here mainly to understand the situation..."

"What the hell are you talking about?"

Zheng Shaoyuan shouted angrily on the spot.

The two investigators stood straight and looked very embarrassed, "Please forgive me, we are just doing this on a routine basis."

Zheng Jianxiang, who had never spoken, sat down on the single sofa, "Where is your Section Chief Xiao?"

"Yes, even if we really want to know the situation, it should be Xiao Hai who comes here. Who are you? You dare to run wild in my house." Zheng Shaoyuan looked at the two investigators with disdain.

"Sorry, you two, our Section Chief Xiao went to study abroad two days ago and was unable to come, so we were sent here."

Hearing this was an excuse, Zheng Jianxiang frowned deeply and asked, "Who reported me?"

The investigator hesitated for a moment and then told him honestly, "...it was Zhang Boxuan, the president of Zhang Group, who made the report with his real name."

The two investigators were also feeling miserable.

Who is willing to take this hot job?

In this fight between the gods Zheng and Zhang, mortals like them dare not offend either side, let alone do nothing.

No, the people at the top dare not come forward to offend them, so it is the people at the bottom who are driven away.

"Fuck." Zheng Shaoyuan kicked the coffee table angrily, gritting his teeth with hatred, "It's that Zhang again."

Zheng Jianxiang glanced over and stopped his gaffe, "Call Lawyer Huang to come over."

Zheng Shaoyuan immediately called the lawyer.

Soon, the lawyer arrived at Zheng's house.

Accompanied by his lawyer, Zheng Jianxiang answered the investigators' inquiries.

After the others left, Zheng Jianxiang angrily threw the teacup in his hand to the ground.

There was a sharp sound of "pop", which made Zheng Zhihui, who was watching all this upstairs, tremble with fright.

The lawyer on the side even had his back stiffened.

"Don't be impatient, Mr. Zheng. This is not a small crime. If Zhang Boxuan cannot provide strong evidence, the relevant departments will not be able to convict you."

Zheng Jianxiang, who was full of anger, looked at him with heavy eyes, "You mean if he can provide it, then he can be blamed on me?"

Lawyer Huang was so chilled by his eyes that he didn’t dare to answer his questions directly, let alone not respond. In the end, he could only compromise and said, “According to relevant laws and regulations, if convicted of bribery, he will be sentenced to not more than five years. Fixed-term imprisonment or criminal detention and a fine."

He just gave him an objective introduction to the laws and regulations, and he was not talking about him.

"That damn Zhang Boxuan is like a dog-skin plaster. He will definitely continue to struggle with this matter and press forward step by step." Zheng Shaoyuan looked at the lawyer, "Lawyer Huang, you must find a way to solve it."

Lawyer Huang straightened his body and said, "Don't worry, Director Zheng and Mr. Zheng, our company's legal team will go all out to deal with this matter."

Zheng Zhihui, who was upstairs, listened to their conversation with worry on her face.

If convicted, would her father face the risk of being sentenced to five years in prison?

-

7 p.m.

Zhang Boxuan returned to his residence from the company.

As soon as the car drove outside the gate of the villa, in the darkness, a slender figure suddenly opened his arms and stopped in front of his car.

The driver stepped on the brakes urgently, looked out of the front windshield, was stunned, and then looked at the back seat:

"Mr. Zhang, this is Miss Zheng."

Zheng Zhihui always appeared in front of Zhang Boxuan like a little tail, so the driver was no stranger to her at all.

Zhang Boxuan saw the figure in front of him clearly the moment the car stopped suddenly.

After a moment of silence, he opened the door and got out of the car.

Zheng Zhihui immediately walked towards him quickly, "Brother Xuan."

Zhang Boxuan remained as indifferent as ever, "What are you doing here at night?"

"Brother Xuan, I..."

Zheng Zhihui tightened her skirt nervously and looked at him sincerely, "Is it convenient for you? I have something to tell you."

"Sorry, I have work later and don't have time." Zhang Boxuan refused.

"Then, when will you finish your work? I can wait until you finish your work..."

"We have nothing to talk about, Miss Zheng, please go back."

After saying that, Zhang Boxuan turned around and got into the car indifferently, and then the car started again and drove into the villa.

"Brother Xuan..."

Zheng Zhihui shouted after him, but after the car entered, the gate of the villa closed automatically.

When Zhang Boxuan entered the room, a servant in his fifties immediately greeted him happily, "Master, are you back? I just made a meal and will serve it to you."

"Wu Ma." Zhang Boxuan stopped her, "No need to make any fuss, I have an online meeting later, so I won't eat."

"Hey, how can this be done? No matter how busy you are, you can't skip eating. This will damage your health, especially since you always go out early and come back late recently. You need to pay more attention to your health. I even stewed chicken soup for you tonight... …”

Wu Ma was a servant who had served Zhang Boxuan since she was a child. When the Zhang family was in trouble, all the servants were dismissed. She was the only one who couldn't worry about Zhang Boxuan. She was afraid that no one would take care of him, so she had to stay and take care of him without any salary.

Since then, he has been following Zhang Boxuan to this day.

In Zhang Boxuan's heart, she is already a relative.

Hearing her nagging behind him again, Zhang Boxuan turned his head helplessly, "I know, I'll come down and have soup after the meeting, okay?"

"Hey, that's pretty much it."

Wu Ma was now satisfied and stopped following him upstairs.

Zhang Boxuan entered the study room and started the video conference five minutes later.

Two hours later.

He had just finished the meeting and was squeezing his brows tiredly when there was a knock on the study door.

"Come in."

As soon as the door opened, Wu Ma, who couldn't wait for him to come downstairs, came in with a cup of soup and some snacks.

"Master, I've let this soup dry for a while, and it's just right to drink now. You should drink the soup first."

Wu Ma said and put the tray on the table.

"Thank you, Mother Wu."

Wu Ma opened the soup cup and handed it to him. When she turned around, she saw that the window on the east side of the study was open.

It was raining outside, and Wu Ma was worried that the wind would blow the rain in, so she quickly walked over and closed the window.

She touched the window with her hand, glanced down inadvertently, and then said with surprise, "Hey, it's raining so heavily outside, why is there someone standing there? She looks... like a girl, right?"

Hearing this, Zhang Boxuan's expression suddenly tightened. The next second, he stood up and walked quickly to the window. Looking down, he saw Zheng Zhihui's body pressed against the wall outside the gate under the dim street light.

Although there were eaves on the top of the wall, the rain was heavy and windy, so the gusts of rain still hit her mercilessly.

Zhang Boxuan's pupils shrank suddenly.

She didn't leave?

Just stood outside the door for so long?

"Wu Ma, please bring people in."

-

Zheng Zhihui, who was wearing only a short-sleeved dress, shivered suddenly as the wind and rain hit her body at night, bringing with it a slight chill.

At this time, the door of the villa suddenly opened.

Immediately afterwards, Wu’s mother walked quickly towards Zheng Zhihui holding a big umbrella. Before she got closer, the voice came over:

"Hey, Miss Zheng, why are you standing here so late at night and don't know how to ring the doorbell for me to open the door?"

Zheng Zhihui's face was so cold that she looked a little pale, with embarrassment on her face.

She was turned away just now. Can she get in by pressing the doorbell?
