Chapter 159: Chapter 159: Speculation and Profiteering
He Qing called out several times, but Xia Chuyi didn’t respond, acting as if it was just wind blowing in her ears.
He had no choice but to desperately seek help, turning to Chang Luhui and shouting, “Vice Director Chang, I want to report, I confess, I wasn’t the mastermind behind this, it was Zhang Xiaoling who instructed me, she is the true mastermind! I’m just an accomplice, my report is meritorious, you should be lenient with me… Vice Director Chang…”
Chang Luhui didn’t pay any attention to him either.
He Qing kept struggling and screaming until his entire being was taken into the interrogation room, finally cutting off his disgusting voice.
The hall suddenly regained its tranquility.
“Cough cough.” Chang Luhui coughed and called out, “Hello, little sister-in-law.”
“…Don’t call me that, you’re much older than us.” Xia Chuyi twitched the corner of her eye and said, “Just call me Xia Chuyi.”
The word “us” included Huo Shiqian.
Chang Luhui smiled and said, “Haha, it’s all Xiao Wang and those kids, they talk about ‘little sister-in-law’ every day, I got used to saying it too!”
“Alright, I’ll call you Xia Chuyi!” Chang Luhui readily agreed.
“No matter what, Vice Director Chang, I really appreciate your help with today’s matter.” Xia Chuyi looked at him and earnestly thanked him.
Chang Luhui was pleasantly surprised, quickly stepped back, and waved his hand, “No, no, no, I dare not accept it. It’s just what needed to be done!”
“Right, Comrade Chuyi, about today’s matter, I need to trouble you to give a statement.” Chang Luhui immediately changed the subject.
“Sure, okay.” Xia Chuyi nodded, agreeing to cooperate.
The statement was recorded personally by Chang Luhui, and naturally, the final testimony was polished to appear flawless for her.
“With this statement, He Qing’s life is over.” Whenever Chang Luhui talked about He Qing, his tone couldn’t help but fill with disdain, “Comrade Chuyi, rest assured, I’ll definitely ‘take good care’ of him.”
“Thanks.” She knew what he meant and thanked him again.
If it weren’t for him this time, things would have been much more complicated.
Chang Luhui scratched his head and laughed, “Heh, we’re all family, why be polite? No need for thanks.”
Xia Chuyi couldn’t help but laugh.
The subordinates of Uncle Liberation Army were all as thick-skinned as he was.
Now that the statement was finished, and Chang Luhui had official duties to attend to, Xia Chuyi took her leave and left first.
After leaving the Police Station, she thought about it and decided to stop by the Business Administration to see how her second brother’s issue was being handled.
Who knew that when she got to the door of the Business Administration, she would run into Zhang Xiaoling.
What is she doing here?
Xia Chuyi intended to avoid her, but Zhang Xiaoling spread her arms and directly blocked her path.
“Xia Chuyi!” Zhang Xiaoling called out.
Since she couldn’t avoid her, she stood still and calmly asked Zhang Xiaoling, “What can I do for you?”
“Hmph!” Zhang Xiaoling snorted coldly and then, with a gleam of triumph in her eyes, said, “I’ve come to realize that the reason you went to the Police Station voluntarily before was to cover up the issue with your business license, wasn’t it?”
Xia Chuyi laughed lightly.
Her train of thought was a bit too delayed, realizing it now?
Of course, she would never admit it and responded with an innocent face, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“Don’t play dumb with me!” Zhang Xiaoling rebuked, “You shameless yokel!”
Zhang Xiaoling approached forcefully and grabbed her, demanding, “You go to your store right now and show me your business license!”
“If you don’t have it, then you’re a capitalist speculator and a bad element!”
