Chapter 306: Chapter 185: Both Moved and Afraid
"No, Sister Li, I really don’t know about your husband’s situation. Why are you suspecting me?"
Guo Mengyao felt truly puzzled and didn’t want to take the blame. As for taking advantage of the situation to buy back Sister Li’s shares at a low price, she had thought about it, but this matter seemed odd. Guo Mengyao wouldn’t dare to take advantage before understanding the situation.
"It’s not you? You really don’t know? My husband was detained by the unit’s disciplinary department for investigation. I contacted around and found out that he offended someone and was reported. I’ve been thinking about it, and recently he only offended you. Moreover, Xue Jun also had an incident just now. It’s too much of a coincidence for both Xue Jun and my family to have trouble."
"What? Xue Jun had an incident too? What’s wrong with him?"
Guo Mengyao was both shocked and delighted, immediately asking.
"Are you sure it’s not you who caused trouble for both families?" Sister Li couldn’t help but frown slightly.
"Tell me about Xue Jun’s situation first." Guo Mengyao urged quickly. These days, she had been troubled by Xue Jun both in the company and at home. Hearing about his trouble, she was naturally pleased.
Sister Li directly narrated the rough events and then suspiciously asked, "Mengyao, are you sure you didn’t do it to me and Xue Jun?"
"It really wasn’t me," Guo Mengyao said calmly, "I don’t have that kind of power."
Sister Li hesitated and asked, "Could it be... your old classmate? He just made threats against us last night, and then Xue Jun and I both ran into trouble. What exactly is he capable of?"
Guo Mengyao actually thought of Chen Feng too but considered it unlikely upon reflection. Although she wanted to attribute the "credit" to Chen Feng, she felt it wasn’t appropriate.
Firstly, the tactics were too harsh. Xue Jun went directly to prison, and Sister Li’s husband might also face jail time, which would obviously create resentment toward Chen Feng and herself.
Secondly, lies can’t become truth. She didn’t believe Chen Feng was behind these events. He had just arrived in Guang City and didn’t know anyone. Even if he had some money, he shouldn’t have the powerful and swift ability needed for such actions.
If she admitted to it, it would cause trouble if Sister Li asked them for help in rescuing her husband, and they couldn’t do it. This could even lead to direct enmity.
Therefore, it’s not possible to falsely claim responsibility.
"He doesn’t have any special background, just has a bit of money. It’s his first time coming to Guang City; he’s not familiar with the place and doesn’t have the power or connections to do something like this. About Xue Jun’s situation, how could he have orchestrated it? He couldn’t have arranged Xue Jun’s mistress’s lover, right?"
Guo Mengyao jokingly asked.
Sister Li replied with a serious look, "It seems you don’t know your old classmate very well. Initially, I didn’t think this had anything to do with you or him, but first Xue Jun was unlucky, and then my husband was investigated. I researched deeply and found that Xue Jun’s mistress’s lover happens to have a bit of a familial connection to me. Guess what I found out?"
"What did you discover?" Guo Mengyao played along respectfully.
"Initially, he didn’t know Xue Jun’s mistress. It was only yesterday noon when a stranger added him on WeChat, provided him with all sorts of information and photos of Xue Jun’s mistress, and directly transferred him fifty thousand yuan, encouraging him to pursue her, claiming she was easy to court. Just pretend you’re wealthy, and transfer her a thousand yuan as a meeting gift."
My relative, who has a fondness for women, couldn’t resist and added the mistress on WeChat, chatting with her. He wasn’t short of money, and the mysterious person had transferred him fifty thousand, so he didn’t need to spend his own money. After a brief conversation, he transferred two thousand yuan to the mistress, easily hooking her. They went to a hotel in the afternoon, then to the mistress’s place in the evening. Unfortunately, Xue Jun ran into them. Could it be any more coincidental?"
"It’s indeed quite coincidental," Guo Mengyao admitted after being stunned for a moment. And it happened just yesterday; coincidentally, yesterday morning, she had mentioned Xue Jun’s situation to Chen Feng, and he said he would come to Guang City to help her.
Could it be that after the phone call yesterday morning, Chen Feng started to use his connections and resources to help her, and miraculously found out about Xue Jun’s mistress, setting up this trap?
Although it sounds somewhat unbelievable, it makes sense in terms of motivation and timing.
But the question is, does Chen Feng really have such tremendous power now? Could it be that he not only has money but also has a strong network of connections behind him?
"If it’s just one incident, I wouldn’t suspect your old classmate. But immediately after, my husband got involved. This morning, someone reported him, and it was a firsthand report. The person was my husband’s trusted subordinate in the department.
Normally, there’s no way my husband’s trusted subordinate would report him because it’s not advantageous for him. But he did report him, and I found out that he was forced into it, with threats and inducements.
If my husband and Xue Jun’s situations weren’t enough, including your husband’s issues were just enough. Not long ago, I inquired with a friend at the police station about your situation. Guess what? I found out your husband was detained, framed by a lounge girl with drugs, involved in substance abuse, drink-driving, public safety violations, intentional harm, etc. He’ll likely spend at least 10 years in prison. How is this possible that the three of us, who just happened to have conflicts with you, are all in trouble coincidentally?"
Guo Mengyao was now greatly shocked, unable to speak. At first, she never thought her husband’s situation could be related to Chen Feng, possibly because she was too deep in the situation.
But now, with Sister Li’s reminder and adding her husband’s and Xue Jun’s issues together.
One coincidence might be reasonable, two together might just be a coincidence, but isn’t it too much for three incidents to be coincidences?
"Mengyao, maybe you’re really not aware. But for the sake of our friendship over the years, please beg your old classmate to let my husband off this time. If my husband can be safe, I promise that I’ll transfer the shares in my hand to you at the original price."
"Well... Sister Li, I’m really not aware. Additionally, I also feel these incidents probably have nothing to do with my classmate."
"Mengyao, don’t worry, I’ll completely keep this secret. I won’t even tell my spouse to avoid being scolded by him. After all, I caused this trouble, and now he’s suffering for it. If he found out, he’d definitely be furious and blame me in various ways. So, rest assured, I absolutely won’t tell a third person."
Guo Mengyao didn’t know what to say at the moment, and after a while, she hesitantly said, "I’ll... ask him first."
"Okay, okay, you ask him for me. Tell him that after this matter, I won’t seek revenge at all. I don’t even have the capability for revenge. I just wish my family could be together, safe and sound. Mengyao, please put in a good word for me, I’m begging you."
Guo Mengyao hung up the phone with a complex feeling.
Initially, she thought Xue Jun and Sister Li’s husband’s situations probably had nothing to do with Chen Feng, but now, after Sister Li’s analysis, and adding her husband’s situation, she couldn’t help but suspect Chen Feng.
