I was chased by my sickly junior brother who had two lives

In the majestic and solemn government office in the capital, the sun shines through the carved window lattices and shines on Chen Jue's resolute face. He is dressed in a dark blue official uniform with delicate patterns embroidered on the patches, showing his official position and status. He has a leather belt tied around his waist and a warm jade pendant, which sways gently with his movements, emitting a faint halo. Chen Jue has sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, but at this moment he is frowning slightly, talking with several colleagues about the black-hearted silk raw material merchant.

"Everyone, do you know that there is a black-hearted merchant in the silk raw material market outside the capital who specializes in selling inferior products as good ones and defrauding many merchants with low-quality silk, including the 'Jinxiu Xuan' run by my sister." Chen Jue's voice was low and powerful, with a hint of anger that was difficult to conceal.

An older colleague stroked his beard and asked, "Sir Chen, how could this merchant be so bold? Please tell us in detail so that we can give you some advice."

Chen Jue nodded slightly and said, "That unscrupulous merchant displayed silk that looked bright in color and smooth in texture on his stall, claiming that they were all top-quality products from Jiangnan. But in fact, the color was dyed with cheap dyes, and the quality was far from top-notch. When my sister and my partner Yang Xia went to purchase the goods, they noticed something was wrong and argued with him. Not only did the merchant refuse to admit it, he also spoke ill of us in an attempt to get away with it."

"How ridiculous! Such unscrupulous businessmen are truly despicable. Sir Chen, what happened later?" a young and energetic colleague said indignantly.

Chen Jue continued, "Sister and Yang Xia would not be fooled by him easily. They argued with reason and found many flaws based on their years of experience in the silk business. The merchant had to admit that he had committed fraud. Sister and the others immediately informed the market management office, and the management office punished them by confiscating the inferior silk and imposing a fine."

"That's good. This can be considered as teaching him a lesson." said the older colleague.

Chen Jue shook his head slightly. "Although this punishment serves as a warning, I am worried that he will repeat the same trick in the future, or continue to cheat by other means. After all, he has been operating in that market for many years, and he must have some connections. If he is not thoroughly rectified, it will eventually become a hidden danger."

The young colleague patted his chest and said, "Mr. Chen, you are an official of the Ministry of Justice. You are strict in enforcing the law. You will definitely find a way to bring this profiteer to justice. We will definitely support you with all our strength."

Chen Jue pondered for a moment and said, "I want to start with his purchase channels, sales records, and past transactions with other merchants, and conduct an in-depth investigation. I must find more evidence of his illegal activities, so that he can receive the punishment he deserves and eliminate a major hazard to the business environment in Beijing."

In the following days, Chen Jue devoted himself to investigating the unscrupulous supplier. He took his subordinates to various weaving workshops and warehouses that had dealings with the merchant, carefully checked the accounts, and questioned witnesses. He did not let go of any clues; he thoroughly explored every doubt.

Finally, after many days of hard work, Chen Jue had enough evidence. The unscrupulous supplier not only sold inferior silk for a long time, but also engaged in tax evasion, bribery of market managers and other illegal activities. Chen Jue arrested him according to law and submitted the relevant evidence to the judicial department.

In court, the black-hearted supplier was faced with overwhelming evidence and could no longer argue, so he had to plead guilty. In the end, he was sentenced to a heavy sentence, all his property was confiscated, and his stall in the silk raw material market was permanently banned.

When the news reached Jinxiuxuan, Chen Jia was sorting the newly arrived silk in the store. The clerk hurried over to tell her, "Miss Chen, Master Chen has brought the black-hearted supplier to justice. Now the profiteer has been sentenced, and his business is completely over."

Chen Jia was slightly startled, and slowly put down the silk in her hand, her eyes full of surprise and emotion: "Really? Xiaojue actually took so much trouble for this matter."

Yang Xia also heard the news and said with a smile: "Chen Jia, your brother really cares about you very much. He even cares so much about the unscrupulous merchant he encountered when purchasing goods and is determined to bring him to justice."

Chen Jia nodded slightly, feeling deeply moved: "I originally thought that this was just a minor setback in our Jinxiuxuan business. Although I hated that black-hearted businessman, I just wanted to stop dealing with him in the future. I didn't expect Xiaojue to take this matter to heart and use his power to completely solve this hidden danger."

"Mr. Chen did this not only for 'Jinxiu Xuan', but also for the entire silk industry in the capital. With an official as fair and strict as him, those unscrupulous businessmen will no longer dare to act recklessly." said an old friend.

Chen Jia walked out of the shop, looked in the direction of the government office in the distance, and whispered to herself: "Xiao Jue, you always silently protect me and Jinxiuxuan. I only saw your glory in the officialdom before, but ignored the little things you did for me behind the scenes."

In the evening, Chen Jue finished his official business and came to Jinxiuxuan. As soon as he entered the shop, Chen Jia came to greet him.

"Xiao Jue, you're here. I heard that you brought that black-hearted supplier to justice. You've worked so hard." Chen Jia's eyes were full of concern and gratitude.

Chen Jue smiled and said, "Sister, this is what I should do. How can I sit back and watch that unscrupulous merchant bully you and Jinxiuxuan? As an official of the Ministry of Justice, it is my duty to uphold justice and law. Moreover, Jinxiuxuan is your hard work, and I must protect it."

Chen Jia gently took Chen Jue's hand and said, "Xiao Jue, I know you are very busy in the officialdom and shouldn't worry about these trivial matters. But you are so attentive, I am really touched."

Chen Jue slightly tightened his grip on Chen Jia's hand: "Sister, in my heart, your affairs are never trivial. As long as you can run Jinxiuxuan with peace of mind and not be bullied by villains, no matter how much I do, it will be worth it."

Yang Xia stepped forward and said with a smile: "Mr. Chen, this time it's all thanks to you. With you backing us up, we can be more assured when purchasing goods in the future."

Chen Jue looked at Yang Xia and said, "Miss Yang, the development of 'Jinxiuxuan' is inseparable from your efforts. I am just clearing some obstacles for you in the field I am good at. If you have any troubles in the future, just tell me."

Chen Jia said: "Xiao Jue, this incident also made me understand that although there are many difficulties and challenges on this business road, as long as we have family and friends around us to support each other, there will be no obstacles that we cannot overcome."

Chen Jue nodded and said, "Sister is right. Whether in the officialdom or the business world, friendship and justice are the most precious. I believe that as long as we stick to our original intentions, Jinxiuxuan will get better and better, and the business environment in the capital will become more clear and fair because there are more people like us."
