Chapter 763: Chapter 763: Is the Zhu Family Really Going Down?

Zhu Qianying knew more about Zhu Haoming than Zhu Junwei did.

Therefore, when she heard Uncle Hai mention Zhu Haoming, she could vaguely guess the purpose of his visit.

As for whether she guessed correctly, that needed to be verified by the forthcoming call from Yanhuang.

In normal circumstances, Yanhuang would never call Zhu Haoming, but considering that the other party probably had important news to share, and this important news was quite likely related to his baby boy.

Yanhuang deviated from his usual arrogance, and dialed Zhu Haoming’s number.

Yanhuang used the speakerphone mode. Thus, as soon as the call got connected, Zhu Qianying could hear Zhu Haoming’s voice, "Hello Yanhuang, this is Zhu Haoming."

"Hmm, what do you want?"

Yanhuang made the call, but he still kept his usual haughty demeanor.

His gentle and casual side was only shown to his family members.

"Recently, I’ve been close to Zhu Junwei and I’ve learned many of his secrets that others don’t know. Are you interested in hearing them, Yanhuang?"

Yanhuang and Zhu Qianying exchanged a significant glance. It seemed that they were right about the purpose of this visit.

"Speak!" Yanhuang was brief and his tone was cold.

"Uh..." Apparently, Zhu Haoming did not expect this cold response. He stumbled a bit, then said, "Before I begin, may I ask for a favor from Yanhuang?"

Yanhuang snorted coldly, "I don’t think you’re in a position to negotiate!"

What Yanhuang hated most was someone trying to negotiate terms with him. More germanely, Yanhuang knew that Zhu Haoming was desperate, otherwise, he wouldn’t choose such a method to negotiate.

There was silence on the other end of the line, "Alright... I hope Yanhuang can consider my request after listening and watching."

This time, Yanhuang responded more comfortably, "Hmm, go ahead!"

Zhu Haoming began his narration. Yanhuang and Zhu Qianying held their breath, hanging onto every word. Moreover, Yanhuang smartly recorded the conversation.

Once Zhu Haoming finished speaking, Yanhuang remained silent for a while before saying, "What you said has value indeed. However, this is just your word. And are you willing to testify in court against your own family?"

Zhu Haoming seemed to have anticipated this reaction from Yanhuang. After a pause, he said, "As long as Yanhuang can ensure the safety of my family, I’m willing to testify in court. Also, I have some related surveillance videos. They may not seem of much value to me, but Yanhuang, you might think otherwise."

A gleam flashed in both Yanhuang and Zhu Qianying’s eyes, "Alright, send me the videos. If I find them useful, I’ll fulfill all your prior requests, and I’ll even help you out."

By ’help’, Yanhuang was referring to Zhu Haoming’s awkward situation at the Song family.

"Thank you, Yanhuang. I’ll send the video right away!" Zhu Haoming sounded somewhat joyful. Obviously, he did not expect Yanhuang to be so generous.

The video sent by Zhu Haoming was long and appeared to be an amalgamation of clips from different time periods.

Yanhuang and Zhu Qianying only had time to watch the beginning, when Uncle Hai knocked on the door inviting them to dinner.

After dinner, with the two old men and Star going for a walk, Yahuan and Zhu Qianying returned to the study to view the video earnestly.

At the end, Yanhuang sent a message to Zhu Haoming, "Deal!"

...

It was Monday noon at the L City Central Hospital.

Zhu Junwei, who had just returned to his hospital room after accompanying his parents to their checkups, heard a knock on the door. Assuming it was a nurse, he said "Come in!" without raising his head.

The door opened, and brisk and confident footsteps echoed. Sensing something unusual, Zhu Junwei looked up to find a few police officers in uniform.

"Mr. Zhu Junwei, we suspect you are involved in an intentional murder case. Please come with us to the police station for questioning!"

Zhu Junwei, shocked, quickly regained his senses. He darted toward the balcony, but the officers were quicker. Before he could turn around, they had seized his arms.

Zhu Zhizhou and Zhu Shaofen, lying drowsy on the hospital bed from the sedatives, were unaware of their precious son being escorted away by the police.

Upon waking and hearing the nurse recount the event, the two old souls wailed uncontrollably in their room.

That afternoon, various media outlets in L City reported that Zhu Junwei, the CEO of Mingxuan Group, had been taken by police on suspicion of murder, with photos of the police leading Zhu Junwei out of the hospital.

As the reports circulated, the share price of Mingxuan Group plummeted, hitting the daily limit in that very afternoon.

Mingxuan Group itself fell into chaos due to the lack of leadership.

Zhu Zhizhou and Zhu Shaofen were still in the hospital. Zhu Junwei had been arrested. Zhu Haoming had resigned days prior. Zhu Junzhao was serving his prison sentence. Zhu Haokang was abroad. As for the daughters of the Zhu family - they were just a bunch of pampered young ladies who knew nothing more than indulging in hedonistic pleasures. They were already unfit for any serious role on a normal day, let alone during such a critical moment where they could only band together and weep!

Of course, besides them, there was someone from the Zhu family who could shoulder responsibility in tough times. However, that someone, Zhu Qianying, had long ceased considering herself a part of the Zhu family.

More importantly, she was now standing against Zhu Junwei.

So, her not adding fuel to the fire was already considered merciful. There can be no question of her returning to the Mingxuan Group to save the day.

No matter what case Zhu Junwei was implicated in, not many were truly concerned. Their primary concern was whether the Zhu family was facing an imminent collapse.

The directors of Mingxuan Group were not worried about whether the Zhu family was going down. They were concerned that the Mingxuan Group should not go down.

Therefore, the Yanhuang Group had a batch of guests that afternoon, all wishing to see Yanhuang and Zhu Qianying.

These guests happened to be the directors from the Mingxuan Group.

At this moment, Zhu Qianying was busy in Yanhuang’s office. When Yanhuang conveyed the request, a mysterious smile appeared on her face.

"Ying’er, do you want to see them?"

Zhu Qianying gave a faint smile, "Let’s meet them. After all, it’s high time I witness just how skilled these old servants are at kowtowing."

Once upon a time, she didn’t even have the right to stand before them. But now, they were prostrating themselves before her, begging for her help.

The feeling should be pleasing, right?

However, as the price paid was the safety of her precious son, it seemed otherwise.

"Alright, let’s meet them together!"

Yanhuang directed the personnel at the front desk to invite the directors of the Mingxuan Group to the guest room downstairs. He and Zhu Qianying intentionally busied themselves on the top floor. Approximately half an hour later, they both made their way to the guest room together.

"Mr. Yanhuang, Miss Zhu!"

The directors who once despised Zhu Qianying were now showing utmost respect!

"Hmm..." Zhu Qianying acknowledged them curtly before taking her seat at the head of the table along with Yanhuang.

"Gentlemen, I believe we have not had much interaction before. What brings you here today?" Zhu Qianying feigned ignorance on purpose.
