Chapter 2647: The End of Shi Guojiang and Hu Daming

"Knock knock knock..." The office door was knocked again, Shi Guojiang frowned and shouted: "Come in!"

The door was gently pushed open, and the people who entered were not Shi Guojiang's secretary, but two middle-aged men, each followed by four people.

Shi Guojiang and Hu Daming were stunned upon seeing the two middle-aged men enter, then their faces changed dramatically. One was a thin, tall, bespectacled middle-aged man they did not recognize, but the other, with slightly dark skin and a very serious expression, they knew very well—Li Zhengxuan, Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection.

"Secretary—Li!" Shi Guojiang stumbled to his feet in panic, his voice trembling slightly as he said: "You... you came? Just a phone call would have been enough for any matter."

Li Zhengxuan held the same rank as Shi Guojiang, but as Deputy Secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, his visit was clearly not friendly, and Shi Guojiang dared not fail to lower himself.

"Shi Guojiang!" Li Zhengxuan took the suspension and investigation notice handed to him by a young man: "After research by the Supreme People's Procuratorate and the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, it has been decided to place you under suspension and investigation..."

Shi Guojiang's legs went weak, and he plopped down onto the chair with a thud. A fine layer of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his hands and legs trembled uncontrollably.

Hu Daming sat on the sofa, his head practically shrinking into his neck, silently repeating in his mind: "Don't see me, don't see me..."

"Hu Daming!" Li Zhengxuan's voice was not loud, but to Hu Daming it sounded like a thunderclap, making his body jerk violently.

"Li... Li Li Li Secretary!" Hu Daming's reaction was even worse than Shi Guojiang's—he couldn't even stand up, his legs utterly weak: "Here... here... here, you... you have what... what business?"

Li Zhengxuan once again produced a suspension and investigation notice: "After research by the Supreme People's Procuratorate and the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, it has been decided to place you under suspension and investigation..."

"Shi Guojiang!"

"Hu Daming!"

"Come with us."

The four people standing behind Li Zhengxuan walked toward Shi Guojiang and Hu Daming, their icy tone making both men shiver. Before they could speak, the four men seized them and led them away.

Li Zhengxuan glanced at the middle-aged man beside him and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Hu Daming to be here too—saves us a lot of trouble."

The middle-aged man also laughed: "Birds of a feather flock together—it's only natural they'd gather like this."

Li Zhengxuan said as he walked out: "Based on the evidence we currently have, Shi Guojiang and Hu Daming will spend the rest of their lives in prison."

The middle-aged man mused: "Shi Guojiang and Hu Daming have controlled the wool factory for over ten years. I think the evidence we have is not complete—if we dig deeper, we'll certainly uncover more."

Li Zhengxuan nodded: "When we get back, immediately conduct talks with Shi Guojiang and Hu Daming."

…………………………

Shen Wenqiang had been busy all morning and didn't return home until 4 p. m.

Sister-in-law Bai Hui saw Shen Wenqiang come back and hurriedly said: "Wenqiang, let's go to the wool factory now."

Shen Wenqiang glanced at his watch: "I'll go to the restroom first—you hold onto the four contracts, don't lose them."

"Everything's ready." Liu Aijun came out of the bedroom, patting the bag in her hand: "They're all in here."

Shen Wenqiang went to the toilet, urinated, and washed his face: "Let's go."

The three went downstairs, got in the car, and after over twenty minutes, the second-hand Xiaoli stopped at the gate of the wool factory.

Shen Wenqiang got out and approached the guardhouse, politely taking out a pack of Da Chongjiu cigarettes from his pocket and placing them on the table: "Uncle, I'm Shen Wenqiang, here to see Factory Manager Zhou. We've already arranged this—you can call to confirm."

Guard Old Cai Tou looked at Shen Wenqiang, then at the cigarettes on the table, a faint smile appearing on his face as he picked up the phone and dialed the internal line: "Secretary Dong, a man named Shen Wenqiang has come to see the factory manager—he says you two had an appointment."

From the receiver came Dong Wenjuan's voice: "Mr. Shen is here as agreed with the factory manager—let him in."

"Good, good, good!" Old Cai Tou nodded vigorously, as if Dong Wenjuan could see him: "I'll let him in right away."

Old Cai Tou hung up, took out his notebook to register, then stood up, grabbed the keys, left the guardhouse, and opened the main gate.

"Thank you, Uncle!" Shen Wenqiang said politely: "Sorry to trouble you."

Old Cai Tou waved his hand: "This is just part of our duties—no trouble at all. You'd better hurry in, don't keep the factory manager waiting too long."

Shen Wenqiang turned, got back in the car, and as he entered, he honked the horn once to thank Old Cai Tou.

Ye Zhen wandered around the wool factory for over an hour. Because she was wearing high heels, her feet started to hurt, so she decided to head back. Then she saw a Xiaoli parked in front of the factory office building, and shortly after, three people got out and hurried into the office.

Ye Zhen thought to herself: Could these three be the ones selling the pharmaceutical factory's shares? Thinking this, she quickened her pace, entered the factory compound, and saw the three disappear into the stairwell.

When Ye Zhen reached the third floor, she saw Dong Wenjuan and the three people standing outside Zhou Andong's office door—this immediately confirmed her suspicion: they were indeed the people selling the pharmaceutical factory shares.

Dong Wenjuan knocked on the door, waited for Zhou Andong to say "Come in," then gently pushed the door open and entered.

"Factory Manager, Mr. Shen has arrived."

Zhou Andong nodded: "Let them in."

"Alright!" Dong Wenjuan turned to the door, stood beside it, and made a welcoming gesture: "Mr. Shen, please!"

Shen Wenqiang, Liu Aijun, and Bai Hui entered the office. Zhou Andong rose from behind his desk, pointed to the sofa, and said: "Have a seat!"

Just then, Ye Zhen knocked and entered: "I'm back just in time, aren't I?"

"Not too early, not too late—just right." Zhou Andong smiled and nodded, then introduced Shen Wenqiang to Ye Zhen: "Old Shen, this is Ye Zhen, a director at Zhongbao."

Shen Wenqiang was startled—others might not know what Zhongbao is, but he did. Being a director at Zhongbao meant a powerful family background—definitely not someone to offend.

"Director Ye, hello!" Shen Wenqiang bowed slightly, keeping his posture very low. Mainly because he knew how much influence these second- and third-generation elites had—better not to offend them if he could avoid it.

Zhou Andong introduced Ye Zhen: "Fourth Sister, this is Shen Wenqiang, my partner."

Ye Zhen shook hands with Shen Wenqiang, smiling: "Mr. Shen, pleased to meet you."

"Oh, everyone's here." Zhang Zuo, that silly fool, walked in without knocking, saw the people in the office, and waved his hand carelessly: "Hey, you guys."

Then Tang Lin and Nie Wen entered. Nie Wen glanced at the people in the office, her eyes finally settling on Ye Zhen, and she couldn't help but sigh. Zhou Dahuozi really lived up to his reputation—he actually managed to fool the Ye family into coming here, and not only that, they came with arrogance, never putting men in their eyes—this Fourth Miss Ye indeed.
