Chapter 772: Chapter 776: Evidence
Fang Siqi was angry, anxious, and aggrieved, her whole body trembling, and Mi Junyuan enfolded her into his arms, gently patting her.
Gu Junzhu said indifferently, “There are too many confusing issues. Let’s follow the chronological order. Let’s talk first about the death of Siqi’s father.”
He looked at Gu Chi: “Xiao Chi.”
Gu Chi nodded, and from the hand of his subordinate behind him, he took over a tape recorder.
The tape recorder was of a very old-fashioned model, the kind that needed a cassette tape.
The cassette tape was already loaded. Gu Chi pressed the play button.
Soon, a weeping woman’s voice sounded from the tape recorder: “Xiao Wan, I am your older sister. By the time you hear this recording, I am already dead. I can’t take it anymore, I want to go find Pingyuan.”
“That beast, Fang Haichuan, he raped me. Your brother-in-law saw it, and then Haichuan pushed your brother-in-law out of the window. Your brother-in-law is dead.”
“He had Qiqi taken away and threatened me. If I dare to call the police, he would have people kill Qiqi.”
The woman in the recording cried inconsolably, “Xiao Wan, I can’t take it anymore. I can’t sleep night after night. Every time I close my eyes, I see your brother-in-law lying in a pool of blood. When I open my eyes, I hear Qiqi crying. I can’t take it anymore, I really can’t…”
“Xiao Wan, Fang Haichuan’s people are watching me outside. I have no way to escape and call the police. I’m afraid they will hurt Qiqi. This tape and my suicide note, I’ve hidden them in a concealed compartment. If there is divine justice, and you can find them, please help your sister to report to the police.”
“Xiao Wan, your sister is leaving. I’m sorry, I’m sorry. Please, you must take good care of Qiqi for me. I’m going to be with your brother-in-law. I’m sorry…I’m sorry…”‘
The recording stopped abruptly.
Fang Siqi had already heard the recording. She held Wan Wan, who was in tears, close, crying so hard she could barely breathe.
Mi Junyuan stood behind her, his eyes rimmed with red, gently patting her back.
Fang Lutong turned pale listening to the tape. He felt his scalp tingling and perspiration soaked his shirt. Trembling, he asked, Gu Junzhu, “What…What is this?”
“Evidence of Fang Haichuan’s murder,” Gu Junzhu stated calmly, “Fang Haichuan raped his business partner, Si Pingyuan’s wife, Wan Xin, and kidnapped their daughter Siqi, who is your adopted sister. He threatened Wan Xin not to report to the police. Wan Xin could not face this and committed suicide. After her death, Fang Haichuan adopted Siqi and then swallowed up Si Pingyuan’s shares.”
Gu Junzhu looked back at Fang Lutong, his eyes filled with disdain, “Back then, the Fang Family wasn’t called the Fang Family. It was ‘Sifang’. In Sifang Co. Ltd., Si Pingyuan held the majority shares, 55% of the company. Your father, Fang Haichuan, only held 45%. After Si Pingyuan’s death, he adopted Siqi, and naturally took over all of Si Pingyuan’s shares. Only after Sifang Corporation disappeared from the business world, did the Fang Group exist.”
“Impossible…Impossible…”Fang Lutong turned ghastly pale, shaking his head repeatedly, “You’re lying! My dad’s not that kind of person! How could my dad possibly kill someone? And he would never take over Qiqi’s family’s wealth. This is not possible…”
“Denial doesn’t matter, I have evidence,” Gu Junzhu instructed Gu Chi, “Xiao Chi.”
Gu Chi nodded in response, opened the door, and summoned someone from outside.
Two middle-aged men in their fifties, one fat and one thin, were brought in by the Gu family’s bodyguard.
When Fang Lutong saw the two middle-aged men, he exclaimed in surprise, “Uncle Chen? Uncle Lin?”
Gu Junzhu cast a glance at them, “You two have helped Fang Haichuan with some dirty business in the past. Speak up about it.”
