Forensic Doctor, Moe Wife - Chapter 388

Chapter 388: Sometimes You Have To Be Ruthless

“Dear, you can’t say that. In the end, Yihong is my child…”

“Yes, he is your child…”

Tears were welling in the eyes of Xu Wentao’s wife. “And that is exactly why we will have a divorce! I will submit evidence of your affair with another woman to the police and cut you off completely.”

“Dear, I…”

“By the way, which of you stockholders is named Wen? I have evidence of the things you have done with my husband and his bastard—didn’t you take a bribe just to hurt my brother-in-law?”

Everyone was shocked at the news.

So Director Wen had actually taken money from the eldest Xu uncle. No wonder he was so keen on pulling Papa Xu off his high horse.

“And Xu Yihong. Bastard, did you think Wenhong is someone who doesn’t care for bloodlines and would take in just about anyone? To think a child born from a whore has the cheek to stake a claim on the Xu family’s business! What gives you the right?”

Xu Yihong flushed bright red immediately at those words.

“Once Wenhong makes his case, your assets will all be frozen since you are a suspect of fraud. And after I divorce Xu Wentao, his property will be split as well. And you stockholders actually want to support them—are you all brain dead?”

At those words, the board of directors abruptly found the drama boring. “We wouldn’t have come here to get involved if we knew this was a family matter,” one of them said. “Let’s adjourn. Solve your own family problem on your own.”

Xu Wentao couldn’t help narrowing his eyes at that.

The bitch had really ruined his masterplan now.

After the board of directors left, the Xu family was left looking at each other in the conference room.

That was when Xu Wentao’s wife spoke again. “You don’t have to suspect a thing. I stand with Wenhong’s family, and we won’t rest until you father and son are left with nothing.”

“Don’t forget the new project in my hands…” Xu Yihong threatened them.

“Oh, that?” Jing Yun answered Xu Yihong. “Incidentally, I know some friends who had a word with the concerned department, saying that there’s a significant safety hazard in the project. That is why the higher-ups ordered us to put it on hold.”

Xu Yihong face fell at that.

“We really are family. Nice moves.”

“Still won’t admit that you’re the one who abandoned me back then?”

Xu Yihong laughed arrogantly. “What, are you thanking me for having you be a dog at the Sheng family for years?”

At that, Jing Yun walk up to Xu Yihong and whispered, “I’ll have you experience what it’s like being a dog for the rest of your life.”

“Hahahaha…. You won’t have that chance. Let me give you a tidbit—I’ve left a bomb in Xu Holdings. There’s no telling who’s won yet.”

“Are you talking about Yaoyao from finance?” Jing Yun asked in return. “You’re really a blessed. Not only did you have her warm your bed for years, you even got her to accounting fraud to launder your money.”

“And she still believes that you could take power and marry her.”

This time, Xu Yihong really could not laugh.

He did not expect Jing Yun to probe inside finance that quickly.

“Did you know which department in Huang Yao I first joined, back when I’m still a dog of the Sheng family? Yes, it’s the financial department which you love so much…”

“There may still be damages, but the law would reimburse us… If there are major discrepancies, you would have to pay a voluntary fine—or you won’t have the chance to reduce your sentence.”

Xu Yihong stumbled a few steps backwards at Jing Yun words.

That was when Xu Wentao put a hand on Xu Yihong’s shoulder. “We’re leaving. We don’t have time for their rubbish.”

“Yes, there’s no need for us to meet anymore. See you at court.”

Papa Xu and Mama Xu shared a look but said nothing. It was only after Xu Yihong and his father left that they asked Jing Yun, “How did you manage to uncover the mole at finance in such a short time?”

“I didn’t have the time to check. Still, after our lawyer reminded us about it this morning, I took a look through the list of names in finance. There are only three women: one married, one recently pregnant, and the one left is Yaoyao, who has always been single and the most likely candidate.”

“That’s why I bluffed him… while men could easily turn against you over profit, women are different—give them love and they would do anything for you.”

Papa Xu promptly broke into a smile. “You are really smart.

“Although we’ve rooted those two out, it would take a really long time to undo the damage. It will be hard on you for a while, Dad. When this whole thing blows over, let’s come up with something to restart the project.”

Papa Xu nodded and clapped a hand on Jing Yun’s shoulder. “In the future, you should help your mother and your eldest aunt-in-law. I’m afraid those two would try to hurt them.”

“I understand.”

The chaotic day was hence over.

Still, the father-and-son were merely chased out of Xu Holdings and had yet to be punished in any other manner. Moreover, they might flee Jianchuan and head to somewhere distant.

That was why Jing Yun had to come up with something to completely cripple them.

Sheng Minglan was very worried after the whole incident too.

Nonetheless, her heart which seemed to have been dangled on a string was relieved.

For better or worse, the storm has blown over.

At night, Jing Yun moved back to the Xu Manor from Jing Ting, and gave Sheng Xiao a call before leaving. “The matter is settled, so I’m taking Minglan and mother home. Sorry for bothering you, Young Master.”

“What do you mean, settled? Xu Yihong is still alive and kicking.” Sheng Xiao asked in return. “Sometimes you have to be ruthless. There are people who won’t be grateful just because you spare them…”

“I know.”

That was why once they returned to Xu Manor, Jing Yun made several calls while Sheng Minglan was bathing.

When she came out of the bath, Jing Yun stared blankly at her.

Smelling sweet, Sheng Minglan sat on his lap and offered, “You hadn’t had a good sleep these few days because of Xu Holdings. Have a good bath tonight and sleep soundly.”

Jing Yun couldn’t help wrapping his arms around her and sighed wearily. “I might have to do something you don’t like.”

Sheng Minglan gently stroke his head in return and soothed him. “I know you’re talking about Xu Yihong. Just do it.”

Their eyes then met in the darkness, and Jing Yun really couldn’t stop himself from leaning in for a gentle kiss.

Still, would that kiss satisfy the couple who had not gotten some good intimacy recently?

As sentiments melded to the deepest parts of their feelings, how could they let the long night pass without profound bonding?

Meanwhile, words that Xu Yihong and Xu Wentao were father and son spread in Xu Holdings, with Jing Yun’s performance at the board meeting winning the admiration of the lower echelons.

“The third Xu young master was really the Crown Prince’s right-hand-man…”
