Chapter 781: Zhao Hui Holds His Head High!

~7 min read 1,365 words

Zhao Group.

Zhao Hui sat in his office, smoking gloomily.

For the past few days, his mood had been consistently poor.

Because he had donated five million to Dayu County, he had received quite a bit of criticism from many members of the board of directors.

Many people outside had labeled Zhao Hui a total sucker.

Knock, knock, knock—the office door was knocked upon.

"Come in!" Zhao Hui shouted.

The Secretary walked in with a hint of joy on their face, "General Manager Zhao, I just received some important news. Li Zhongling and his son have been arrested by the Dayu County police."

Zhao Hui stood up abruptly, "Really? What happened? Hurry up and tell me."

The Secretary said, "I don't know the specific reason, but my classmate who works at Hongling Group has already sensed that something is terribly wrong."

A look of excitement flickered in Zhao Hui's eyes, "Haha, heaven is truly helping me! You hurry and investigate exactly what the reason is."

After the Secretary left, Zhao Hui dialed his father's phone number.

"Dad, I just got news that Li Zhongling and his son have been arrested by the Dayu police."

"Hm? There is actually such a thing?"

"Dad, with Hongling Group having such a big problem, they must have already withdrawn from the Dayu City Square expansion project. As for the other bidding companies, whether in terms of financial strength or qualifications, they are not as good as our Zhao Group."

"That's right. Our chances of winning are very high. You must have more contact with the Dayu Government cadres in the near future and strive to secure this project."

"I will visit County Magistrate Tang tomorrow. Now that I think about it carefully, this County Magistrate Tang seems to have known long ago that Hongling Group was unreliable."

"Government departments are never short of elites. You must grasp the proper measure when you have contact with him."

"Alright, I will listen to you."

Hanging up his father's phone, Zhao Hui felt relieved and dialed Tang Ye's number.

Seeing Zhao Hui's call, Tang Ye immediately knew that he must have heard the wind.

"General Manager Zhao, is there something?"

Zhao Hui's tone was grave, "County Magistrate Tang, there is a matter I would like to consult you about. Has Hongling Group encountered a major problem?"

Tang Ye knew that paper could not wrap up fire, so he said softly, "Li Zhongling and his son are currently being held by the Dayu County police."

Zhao Hui was ecstatic, "I wonder what kind of problem they committed?"

Although Tang Ye knew the truth, it was impossible to tell Zhao Hui everything, "The police will definitely have a report on this matter later. However, I estimate that this incident is very big. For General Manager Zhao, it is a good opportunity. You are more competitive in the City Square project."

Zhao Hui breathed a sigh of relief, "I wonder when you will be free; I would like to come and visit you."

Tang Ye laughed, "You are a respected philanthropic entrepreneur of Dayu County; I am always willing to provide service to you."

Zhao Hui heard the satisfaction in Tang Ye's tone.

From the very beginning, Tang Ye had stood on the opposite side of Hongling Group.

Thinking about it carefully, it seemed he had always been helping Zhao Group establish an advantage over Hongling Group.

The office door was knocked upon.

The Secretary walked in.

"General Manager Zhao, I just found out the news about the Li father and son being arrested."

Zhao Hui relaxed and crossed his legs, "Tell me about it."

"It is said that Li Tian's girlfriend met the Dayu County Executive Deputy County Magistrate Tang Ye during an interview before.

Li Tian suspected that Tang Ye had an ambiguous relationship with his girlfriend, so he arranged for people to warn Tang Ye.

As a result, he didn't expect that this group of people didn't know their own strength; they not only beat Tang Ye, but also hit County Magistrate Jiang Anbang, causing him serious injury."

Zhao Hui was stunned for a long time, "Does this guy have something wrong with his brain?"

The Secretary said softly, "The outside world evaluates Li Tian as having a super-male personality and being prone to violent outbursts.

Later, the police investigated further and discovered that his ex-wife didn't commit suicide a few years ago, but was cruelly murdered by him.

Li Tian's current girlfriend is a Reporter and holds some evidence of Li Zhongling's illegal activities.

So the police also arrested Li Zhongling."

Hearing this, Zhao Hui burst into loud laughter.

"Haha, truly, one who brings disaster upon oneself cannot live!

Back then, Li Zhongling scolded me on many occasions for being a spendthrift, saying I threw five million into the water.

And now?

No matter how much money is lying in his account, those are just pale numbers; he will never have a chance to turn things around again."

Seeing Zhao Hui laughing so heartily, a smile also appeared on the Secretary's lips.

He knew how much pressure Zhao Hui had been under recently.

Now, Zhao Hui could finally hold his head high!

Li Tian had been locked in a small dark room during this period.

This was to protect him.

Because of Li Tian's violent personality, if he were locked up with other criminals, he would be beaten to a pulp in less than a day.

On the outside, he was the young master of Hongling Group.

But on the inside, he was nothing at all.

He had originally hoped that his father could come to bail him out.

He believed that money could solve all problems.

As time gradually passed.

He gradually realized that the difficulty of getting through this time was too great.

Bang, bang, bang—the iron door was heavily pounded.

"Pack up, someone is here to visit you."

"Who?"

"Han Jing, she says she is your girlfriend."

Upon hearing this name, a complex look appeared in Li Tian's eyes; he did not want to see Han Jing, but at this moment, he was like a drowning person, desperate to clutch even a straw of hope.

He arrived at the visitation room.

Han Jing looked at Li Tian, feeling a bit of unfamiliarity; the once unruly Li Tian was now haggard, his chin and lips covered in stubble.

After seeing Han Jing, a fierce look appeared in Li Tian's eyes.

Han Jing still had post-traumatic stress, and she subconsciously recoiled.

Tang Ye accompanied Han Jing and stood in front of her, looking at Li Tian with cold eyes.

Li Tian took a deep breath, tried his best to control his emotions, and sat down.

"You bitch, I treated you so well, and you stabbed me in the back.

What? Did you come to see me to show off your viciousness?"

Seeing that Li Tian had no remorse, Han Jing sighed and said,

"Li Tian, I admit that when I chose to be with you, I was blinded by your halo.

For you, I gave up my job and endured physical and mental pain.

In the depths of my heart, I actually loved you.

But why did you have to hurt me again and again?"

Li Tian slammed the table in anger.

"You stinking slut, you dead green tea bitch!

Still pretending to be noble and gilding your own face. You actually secretly forged materials unfavorable to Hongling Group!

I will never let you go!"

At this moment, the guards saw that Li Tian was too agitated and quickly stepped forward to pin him down.

"Behave yourself!"

Seeing Han Jing sobbing uncontrollably, Tang Ye said to Li Tian in a low voice:

"Your father, Li Zhongling, was intercepted by the Dayu police while fleeing abroad.

According to the information we currently have, he has done many illegal things.

We came here today to tell you this as well.

Do not harbor any more delusions."

This sentence from Tang Ye hit Li Tian exactly where it hurt.

Li Tian widened his eyes and let out a roar, his heart overcome with rage!

A mouthful of fresh blood sprayed from his mouth...
