My Lovely Wife is a Forensic Doctor - Chapter 82
Chapter 82 The Interrogation
“What good news?” Qin Jinhuan asked while staring at him intently.
“My dad just told me that Yi Boxiong called him yesterday to ask for financial help. He also promised him many benefits. It looks like Yuchi Industry does not have much funds.”
“That was what you meant by good news?” Qin Jinhuan was indifferent. “If Yuchi wants to tackle the Phoenix Gully projects and start the preparation for the Ecological Tourism Project of the Phoenix Gully, it is normal to not have enough funding. As the vice president of Qing Tian Group, did you even bother to look into your rival’s background?”
“That wasn’t the good news I meant!” Wen Zeyu felt awkward getting told off and immediately went to his main point. “The good news is, in order to please me, not only has my dad rejected Yi Boxiong’s request, he even used his connections to persuade others to reject collaborating with Yuchi. He even has some connections with the bank! With his involvement, although it won’t lead the greedy Yuchi into a predicament, it will add a lot of pressure on them. By that time—”
“Zeyu, I want you to contact Yao Chenhua right now. Ask him to comply with Yi Boxiong’s request and find more ways to help Yuchi get more funding.”
“What?!” Wen Zeyu jumped in fury. “Has your sickness affected your brain or were you overstimulated so much you’ve lost your mind?! Yi Boxiong caused you so much harm but you still want my dad to help him?!”
“Stop questioning me and give Yao Chenhua a call.”
“I don’t want to! I can’t wait to chop Yi Yunzhe into pieces and feed him to the dogs! Why should I help him? You might be muddled right now but I am not!”
“Zeyu!” Qin Jinhuan held onto Wen Zeyu, who was leaving in anger, and asked in a light tone, “Don’t you want to see Yuchi get into a predicament?”
“Of course I want to!” Wen Zeyu gritted his teeth. “I have always wanted that to happen ever since Yi Boxiong blackmailed my grandfather with Yi Yunrui’s incident ten years ago! I’ve been hoping for it to happen for ten years!”
“If so, then hurry up and give Yao Chenhua a call.” While Qin Jinhuan was talking, he casually took his phone from his pocket and swiftly presented it to Wen Zeyu.
“Huan…”
“Just make the call, I will explain later.”
Seeing Qin Jinhuan’s confident expression, although Wen Zeyu was hesitant, he still contacted Hui Ming Group’s president, Yao Chenhua, because he trusted him.
“Zeyu? You want to speak with me?” Yao Chenhua was delighted to receive the first phone call from his son.
“Yes.” Wen Zeyu briefly explained Qin Jinhuan’s request to him.
“What? Help Yuchi? Are you sure that you want me to help them out?” Yao Chenhua’s level of shock almost rivalled Wen Zeyu’s.
Wen Zeyu immediately threw Qin Jinhuan a questioning gaze. Seeing that he nodded his head, Zeyu answered, “Yes, please do your best to help him out.”
“Why should I help him?”
“Stop asking so much! Just do what I say.”
Yao Chenhua paused for a few seconds on the other side of the call. Then, he asked something that made Wen Zeyu want to laugh and weep all at once. “Are you Zeyu?”
“Nonsense, of course! Can’t you recognise my voice?”
“No, I just didn’t think that you would—”
“Alright, alright… Ouch!”
“Zeyu, what’s wrong?”
“N-Nothing, I just got kicked by a dog.”
After receiving Qin Jinhuan’s warning glare, his attitude toward Yao Chenhua shifted. “Didn’t you say that Yi Boxiong promised you benefits during our last phone call? All of the Phoenix Gully’s projects are handled by Yuchi now. The pros and cons are obvious. Since he still cares about your relationship with him and invited you to collaborate with him, wouldn’t it be stupid if you let this chance slip away from you?”
“But—”
“If Huan was the one in charge, I wouldn’t have let you do this. But, now that Qing Tian Group and Huan no longer have any relations, Qin Wentao will fire me in no time…”
Yao Chenhua chimed in immediately, “Come over to Hui Ming Group and I will hand over my president seat to you! Huan should come too, he can be the vice president! Although Hui Ming can’t compare to the Qing Tian Group, but at least—”
“We will discuss it next time,” Wen Zeyu cut him off. “Just settle what I asked you to do just now. When you’re done, remember to profit more from Yi Boxiong and increase Hui Ming’s potential to a new level. Then only can I change my surname and take over Hui Ming proudly.”
Yao Chenhua was delighted to hear his son mention about changing his surname and taking over Hui Ming. He happily agreed and hung up.
“Now can you finally explain?” Wen Zeyu stared at Qin Jinhuan eagerly.
Qin Jinhuan took a sip of his hot tea. Then, he simply said, “No.” Immediately, Wen Zeyu flushed with anger. He flipped the tea cup that Qin Jinhuan was holding and roared, “What the hell are you planning?!”
“I don’t know how to explain it to you right now. I’ll tell you after two days.” Qin Jinhuan didn’t get mad. Instead, he stood up to get the broom and sweep the broken pieces of the tea cup away.
Wen Zeyu stared at him for a few moments, then it looked like he finally understood something. He calmed down and asked, “You and your grandfather—”
Qin Jinhuan interrupted, “No matter how many times you ask, I will still not explain. There are some things that are better left unspoken.”
“Why?”
“Stop questioning. Just listen to me.”
“But…” Wen Zeyu squinted his eyes. Then, he changed the topic, “Fine, I won’t ask anymore. I trust you. I really hope that what I asked my father to do will benefit Qing Tian. I don’t want to regret this in the future.”
To be honest, he had his suspicions regarding Qin Jinhuan grandfather’s abnormal behavior these two days. He tried to interrogate Qin Jinhuan’s grandfather only to receive disappointing answers, and finally he lost faith in his grandfather. Even if Qin Wentao wouldn’t fire him, he planned to resign once Qin Wentao took over as president.
However, Qin Jinhuan’s words gave him hope again. Although he wasn’t sure what kind of tricks Qin Jinhuan had up his sleeve, with his understanding of Qin Jinhuan, he still chose to trust his best friend.
Qin Jinhuan looked grim as he patted Zeyu’s shoulder and gave his chest a light bump. Wen Zeyu immediately returned the favour. He gave Qin Jinhuan a disdainful laugh and nagged while he helped clean up the smashed teacup with a broom. “You’re so annoying. I can’t believe you made me call that disgusting father of mine!”
Qin Jinhuan laughed instantly. “All I did was ask you to give him a call. I did not ask you to say anything about changing your name or taking over Hui Ming to deceive him.”
“I was not deceiving him.”
Qin Jinhuan, who had just sat, stood up again when he saw that Wen Zeyu was serious. “You really plan on returning to Hui Ming?”
“Yeah. I’ve thought about it. I will go back to the Yao family and take over Hui Ming. I will piss off that b*tch and take back what is supposed to belong to me and my mother so that my mother’s soul in heaven will be able to rest in peace.”
“Zeyu…”
“Me going back to deal with my dad and that b*tch is better than me imagining how to kill them every day right?”
Wen Zeyu answered with a light tone and blinked rapidly to try to keep his tears from falling. However, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t mask his hatred.
Qin Jinhuan stared at Wen Zeyu for a few moments. Finally, he gave him a few light pats on the shoulder and didn’t say anything.
Wen Zeyu’s mother, Wen Xiaoting, and Qin Jinhuan’s mother, Lin Sijun, were best friends since childhood. Wen Zeyu was two years younger than him. Around twenty years back, Yao Chenhua cheated on his wife with Qiao Tingnan. After giving birth to twin sons, she started provoking Yao Chenhua’s relationship with Wen Xiaoting, but he never divorced her because of their son, Yao Zeyu. However, to get the position of being his main wife, the vicious Qiao Tingnan did not hesitate to sacrifice her child by choking one of her sons to death to frame Wen Xiaoting.
Given all the ‘evidence’, Yao Chenhua was blinded by rage and hatred that he sent Wen Xiaoting to prison. Framed, Wen Xiaoting lost all hope and killed herself in the prison. When eight year-old Yao Zeyu was informed about this, he took a fruit knife and charged into the house that Yao Chenhua gave Qiao Tingnan like a madman and swore to kill each and everyone of them. Seduced by Qiao Tingnan, Yao Chenhua knew that he would never be forgiven by his son and took his youngest son’s side instead. Finally, he hardened his heart and decided to kick Yao Zeyu out of his house.
When Lin Sijun found Yao Zeyu who was roaming around the streets, she handed him over to be brought up by one of her distant cousins. Not long after, she, too, found out that her beloved husband cheated on her. Although she tried really hard to get her husband back, she failed to do so. One day, she ran into Qin Wentao and a pregnant Dong Yueyun who were talking and acting intimately at a mall. She couldn’t contain her anger and went up to confront them. However, she had an accident during the confrontation which resulted in her getting admitted into a hospital with heavy injuries before she finally passed away. Before she passed away, she entrusted Wen Zeyu, who changed his surname to his mother’s, to Qin Xiaozhi. After settling her funeral, Qin Xiaozhi took Wen Zeyu back to the Qin family to raise him.
One year bago, when Wen Zeyu attended an international meeting, he ran into Yao Chenhua. Recognising him, Yao Chenhua ran over to him and cried, begging for Wen Zeyu to forgive him and hoping that he would go back to the Yao family. It turned out that Qiao Tingnan gave birth to another son for Yao Chenhua after that, but both his sons had passed away consecutively in the past two years. Yao Chenhua was bordering sixty by this time. Because of his extreme sexual activities while he was younger, the doctor had diagnosed him as infertile. Faced with no one to inherit his fortune and property, Yao Chenhua was devastated. However, that was until he ran into Wen Zeyu. Now, he had regained hope and was trying his best to please Wen Zeyu so that he would return as his inheritor.
“What goes around, comes around.”
Wen Zeyu’s seemingly teasing words couldn’t help but make Qin Jinhuan lament out loud.
Yao Chenhua had already received what was coming to him. Even Yi Yunzhe is receiving retribution. But, what about Qin Wentao?
Dissatisfaction flashed on his face. His suppressed anger toward his grandfather rose again.
If it weren’t for his grandfather’s protection over Qin Wentao and Dong Yueyun over these years, he would have gotten his revenge sooner. At least, the both of them wouldn’t have gotten the chance to cause more trouble for him now.
“Huan, did you finish your ginseng soup?”
Mu Yu’s voice interrupted Qin Jinhuan from his emotions. Knowing that she wanted some too, he immediately answered, “I left some for you, too.”
“Don’t drink it anymore. Director Rong told me that you shouldn’t drink ginseng soup in the morning on an empty stomach as it is bad for your body. It would be better to drink it after lunch.”
“What? Thank God I haven’t drank it yet. This is all Zeyu’s fault!”
Mu Yu, who was cleaning up the mess on the table, burst into fits of giggle. “You can’t blame Zeyu. He’s not even a doctor, how would he know? By the way, today’s weather is lovely. Why don’t we go out for a walk?”
“Sure!” Qin Jinhuan got out of bed with a happy smile. Then, the both of them held hands and went down together.
At the small garden of the hospital, Mu Yu had tried her best to avoid mentioning Yi Yunzhe and the West Bay. Instead, she acted cheerful and told him about all the funny things that she had encountered recently. Knowing this, Qin Jinhuan acted along with her and smiled, occasionally teasing her a little too. However, he understood well that Yi Yunzhe had already caused her trauma. The so-called intimacy previously was also just him trying to gauge a reaction from her.
It wasn’t that he disdained her, it was just that he hated Yi Yunzhe even more.
Avoiding Mu Yu’s gaze, his facial expression was menacing. At the same time, Qin Jinhuan hoped that his grandfather could settle everything quickly before anything worse happened.
After dinner, Qin Jinhuan received a call from Wen Zeyu saying that Yao Chenhua had already collected a huge amount of funding for Yuchi. They had even signed a collaboration contract together.
Right when Qin Jinhuan wanted to praise Yao Chenhua for his efficiency, he saw his phone light up from the corner of his eye. Qin Jinhuan was delighted, for this was the first time Yu Zhongguang contacted him ever since he left the family.
Expecting good news, he immediately accepted Yu Zhongguang call. However, he was met with Yu Zhongguang’s choked up voice, “Young Master, something happened! The master! H-H-He—”
