Chapter 303: Who is the Spy?
"You can take your time to think about it. I need to go to the police station now to cooperate with the police investigation."
Jiang Qianhui left after speaking. She knew that her father had been secretly helping her uncle's family all these years. Her mother had turned a blind eye, but she hadn't said anything and had pretended not to know.
Unexpectedly, they took advantage of her kindness. Since that's the case, she decided to take everything back at once.
"Qianhui, you can't do this. Those things are for Jiang Di to use when he gets married. Girls these days are very materialistic; he won't be able to get a wife without these things."
"You still don't want to sell your assets to save your son, right? That's fine then. Just keep them and we'll arrange things for him when he's old and gray and comes out of prison!"
"No, no, Jiang Di is my life, my life! Take it, take it all."
Although it was heartbreaking, Chen Lina was determined to do everything she could for her son.
Jiang Qianhui coldly withdrew the inheritance her father had given them.
“I’ve already given you the house, I can’t let my son go to jail.”
"It's not giving, it's returning!"
……
Police station
As the head of the Jiang Group, Jiang Qianhui went to the police station to meet with the three employees who had started a fire while smoking and drinking in the warehouse.
Upon seeing Jiang Qianhui, Jiang Di hurriedly stepped forward and said in a panic, "Sister Qianhui, why are you only arriving now? Why are you the only one here? Where is my mother? Didn't the police say they notified the family yesterday? Why didn't my mother come?"
When Jiang Di saw Jiang Qianhui, he quickly stepped forward and started complaining non-stop. After all, for a mama's boy like him, spending a night in the police station was already extremely painful.
"Don't call me 'sister,' don't try to get too close. After all, you're the defendant and I'm the plaintiff. Keep your distance!"
Jiang Di had just begun to see a glimmer of hope, but now it has been completely dashed!
"Chiho-nee, what do you mean I'm the defendant? I'm your cousin. I didn't want the fire to happen either; it was just an accident."
"Knowing there were flammable items in the warehouse, you still drank and smoked inside, causing a fire that resulted in losses of hundreds of millions. Now you're telling me it was just an accident? Is that all there is to it?"
"I didn't want this either. You were the one who assigned me to be a security guard. I just wanted to get along well with my colleagues, so I went to have a get-together with them. I never expected a fire to happen."
This is blaming her for arranging for him to be a security guard, which is why all this happened. How can she even bring herself to say that?
“Save those words for your mother and grandmother. They won’t work on me. If you can’t come up with the compensation, be prepared to go to jail.”
Jiang Di was extremely flustered upon hearing this.
"Sister Chiho, how can you send me to jail? I'm a recent college graduate with a bright future ahead of me, how can I go to jail?"
Jiang Qianhui kicked it away in disgust.
"I said, keep your distance."
Jiang Di, shameless and persistent, still wanted to curry favor with Gu Xunjing. Gu Xunjing grabbed her and threw her three meters away.
"Didn't you understand that I told you to keep your distance?"
Jiang Di was so flustered by the sudden change in her situation that it was indeed quite convenient to have Gu Xunjing by her side.
After teaching Jiang Di a lesson, Jiang Qianhui looked at the other two employees. One of them was Lao Du, a man in his forties who had worked in the warehouse for over twenty years.
The other one is Xiao Gao, a man in his thirties, who has worked in the warehouse for five years.
The three of them were drinking and smoking in the warehouse, which caused a fire.
Jiang Qianhui's eyes were deep. Of the three of them, apart from Jiang Di, which one of the two was bribed by Zhan Yanxun to set fire to their family's warehouse?
Jiang Qianhui said with a fierce look in her eyes, "The warehouse has lost 100 million yuan, and the three of you will have to share the loss. Each of you will have to pay more than 30 million yuan. If you can't pay the compensation, you will have to go to jail."
Upon hearing that they would have to pay compensation, both men panicked and begged for mercy.
"Miss, we're so sorry, we really didn't mean to. We were just having a few drinks in the warehouse out of boredom, we didn't mean to start a fire. Please forgive us."
"Young lady, please spare us! We can't even come up with over 30 million in compensation, even if you kill us or sell us, we still can't afford it. Please, please spare us!"
Faced with their desperate pleas for mercy, Jiang Qianhui coldly thought to herself, "The man next to you is my uncle's child. Even if you can't pay the compensation, you'll still have to go in. Why should I spare two people who have absolutely no connection to me?"
If even Jiang Di has to go to jail, then what about them?
Old Du and Xiao Gao's faces instantly turned ashen.
Old Du: "Miss, I know we've caused a lot of losses, but we really didn't want this to happen. It was just an accident."
Jiang Qianhui's eyes turned icy: "It's not necessarily an accident. You knew perfectly well that the weight-loss pills stored in the warehouse were of great importance. You didn't keep a close watch on them, and you were drinking and having fun. You knew you shouldn't smoke, yet you still smoked, causing the warehouse fire. Even if it was an accident, you deserve to die! Besides, the fire wasn't an accident; it was premeditated. Which of you took money from someone else to set fire to destroy the evidence and frame my father?!"
Jiang Qianhui stopped beating around the bush and was determined to find out who the spy was.
Xiao Gao said in a panic, "Miss, it was an accident, really just an accident. We're not spies."
Old Du quickly explained, "Yes, Miss, we're just some rough folks, we don't understand the implications of this at all."
Jiang Di stood up and cursed, "You two are really despicable. I treated you as friends, and you actually betrayed me. Tell me, which one of you is the spy? Just admit it yourselves."
After reprimanding them, Jiang Di turned to Jiang Qianhui and said obsequiously, "Sister Qianhui, you are absolutely brilliant! You saw through the conspiracy at a glance. There's no need to distinguish between these two; we can tell who the traitor is. Better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free. Send them both to jail and split the 50 million in compensation equally."
Jiang Di really played her cards right, managing to absolve herself completely.
Jiang Qianhui looked at Jiang Di with disdain and said, "Don't exclude yourself; you're a suspect too!"
Jiang Di's eyes widened as she said, "Sister Qian Sui, how could you say that? How could I be a suspect? I'm your cousin, how could I possibly be a spy sent by someone?"
"You were put in charge of building security, what are you doing in the warehouse?"
Jiang Di was speechless for a moment, her eyes darting left and right, before she said awkwardly, "Sister Qianhui, I just wanted to connect with my colleagues. It really wasn't me, I'm not a spy, those two bastards are the spies."
Xiao Gao said, "Jiang Di, you can't say that. You organized that drinking party that night. If we're talking about spies, you're more likely to be one."
Old Du also said angrily, "That's right, it was you who invited us to drink. If it weren't for you inviting us to drink, how could a fire have started? We've worked at the Jiang Group for decades and nothing like this has ever happened before."
