271: Reporting

[T/N: I'm baaack]

Zheng Jingen had promised to help Wang Cheng deal with Chen Zhong*. He wasn’t slow to take action, so they soon heard good news.

[T/N: *as a refresher, the fat man who harrassed Wang Ning’an and inherited Wansheng Enterprise from his late father-in-law and wife (after already being the chairman)]

Wansheng Enterprise had been investigated for tax evasion. However, this was not enough to shake Wansheng Enterprise, after all, tax evasion was now becoming common in many companies.

When he first heard the news, Chen Zhong didn't take it seriously. He thought that this had only happened because he hadn’t given enough bribes. He attempted to make a few calls but no one would answer him. After a while, the police came to his door.

Some people were trying to sue him for gangr*pe, and someone was trying to sue him for killing their daughter. Because there were people fanning the flames, the news spread quickly, causing widespread concern in the community.

Those who were attempting to sue Chen Zhong were family members of victims who had been harmed by him in the past. They had previously attempted to make trouble for Chen Zhong, but because of the people who stood with him, they had repeatedly failed to sue him. The other party had also sent someone to threaten them, finally forcing them to give up. However, someone came to their doors this time saying that they were able to help them redress their grievances, and had even found evidence to support the case. All they had to do was appear in court to testify. The families of the victims all felt that this was like a pie falling from the sky, and agreed to it without saying another word.

Needless to say, Chen Zhong's crimes were a hard and fast fact even before the trial.

Wang Cheng happened to receive a call from someone the moment he learned of this incident.

"Sir, we have results from the people you’ve asked us to track. The information has already been sorted out. Do you want us to send it to you in person, or send it online?"

"Both."

"Okay."

As soon as Chu Yifeng came back, he saw Wang Cheng sitting on the carpet, his eyes earnestly glued to his computer screen. Wang Chen looked helpless for a moment, then exasperated the next, such rich expressions. It was only once Chu Yifeng got closer that he realized he was receiving a folder of information. However, the information was only one-tenth transmitted so far.

"What is that?" Chu Yifeng threw his coat on the sofa, poured a glass of water, and sat down beside him.

Wang Cheng took a sip from his glass of water, before pouring him another glass and complaining, "I found that one private detective to stalk Yu Hongzhi, but their internet speed is as slow as a snail. I’ve been waiting for almost half an hour already.” A few apologies from the young detective could be seen in the chat box, explaining that the internet speed was a bit slow on their end and for him to wait patiently for a moment. As a result, Wang Cheng had to wait for more than a few moments.

"Let them start a new network line." Chu Yifeng said.

"Good idea." As the two conversed, the progress finally reached 100%. Wang Cheng couldn't wait to open the package. Although Chen Zhong received the retribution he deserved, Wang Cheng didn't feel too relieved. The problem still lied with Yu Hongzhi, the true culprit. Did Chairman Yu not think that his elder brother was important? He would let that Yu Family see how much his eldest brother really mattered!

In plain terms, Yu Hongzhi was a silkpants*. However, he was quite careful and would not leave an easy handle on himself when he went out to play. However, probably because he thought he had successfully rectified Wang Ning'an by insulting him with Chen Zhong, he’d been a little relaxed these days.

[T/N: *son born to a wealthy family; spoiled]

On the third day that Wang Cheng’s private detective was stalking him, Yu Hongzhi had invited a few of his fox friends and dog friends* out to celebrate in the evening. They filled up the private room of some bar to have fun. The private detective was able to sneak in and take pictures of them playing around with a woman who was taking ecst*sy. The scene at the time just looked like a lewd party.

[T/N: *friends that only mess around; nothing good]

Afterwards, Yu Hongzhi drove away with a few of his friends. Only Yu Hongzhi was a little sober after all the singing and drinking, so he acted as the driver.

Even a child would know that one shouldn’t drive after drinking, but these people didn’t care at all.

Who knew if Yu Hongzhi had especially bad luck, or if the injured party did. In any case, an accident occured. A young man riding a motorcycle was hit by their car. After being tossed off his vehicle, he landed so heavily on the ground that his life or death was undetermined.

Yu Hongzhi was so frightened that he completely sobered up from the alcohol. He got out of the car to take a look. Thinking that the person had died and that no one was passing by, he fled, driving away from the scene of the accident. However, he didn’t know that the private detective had captured the whole scene. Fortunately, the private detective kindly called an ambulance for the young man who had been hit, saving him from dying on the spot.

In addition to the photos, the young detective also sent Wang Cheng explanations of each photo. In some photos, the lighting was too dark to tell who was who, so there was an explanation for each picture.

"At last, I didn't spend that two hundred thousand in vain."

Wang Cheng still felt an ache as he said this. He originally expected it to cost 100,000, but because Yu Hongzhi was a rich second-generation who liked to visit high-end places, the price doubled.

Chu Yifeng asked: "Check to see if the victim of the car accident has died."

Wang Cheng immediately flipped through the newspapers of the past few days, and indeed found a report of that night’s accident. Because it had happened at night, it appeared in the newspaper the next day. However, it did not occupy a large area of the page, only saying that the victim was out of danger, so now, the police were focused on looking for the perpetrator of the hit-and-run.

"There happens to be no surveillance nearby, so the police can only find suspicious vehicles from cameras around other exits. I think even if they do find the car, nothing will result from it. What do you say, should we send the evidence to the police? Yu Hongzhi wouldn’t still be able to escape with all this evidence, right?" Wang Cheng said.

Chu Yifeng thought for a while, "Don’t you also want to take care of Shenghui Pharmaceutical while we’re at it? Now is a good opportunity."

"I’m listening."

"Make the incident bigger. However, before doing that, we can anonymously report Yu Hongzhi to the police. If he’s captured with no supporting evidence, Yu Hongming will definitely not sit idly by, and will excuse his son from the incident. Let’s wait for them to pretend to be good people before bringing out the incriminating evidence; by then, their true faces will be exposed. Yu Hongming represents Sheng Hui. Once his character is brought into question, the company will also be affected."

"What a great way to kill two birds with one stone. You are quite cunning, this method is great!" Wang Cheng excitedly threw himself onto Chu Yifeng.

Chu Yifeng hugged his waist, "Do I have any rewards?"

Wang Cheng took the initiative to kiss his chin, his two eyes sparkling: "Want to do a round tonight?"

"How can one round be enough?" Chu Yifeng straightforwardly pressed him under his body before capturing his lips.

The next morning, the young private detective called Xiao* Bai personally sent the information that Wang Cheng had asked for. Wang Cheng had wanted to ask the security guard downstairs to collect it, but when he heard Xiao Bai’s voice, he suddenly decided to take the initiative.

[T/N: *as in little]

Xiao Bai was a little afraid of Wang Cheng, because whenever he saw him, he was reminded of the day that he had threatened him. "Sir, this is the information you asked for. If there is nothing else, I’m leaving."

After receiving the information, Wang Cheng pulled on Xiao Bai's arm. "Don't be so quick to leave. You were the one who had been stalking Yu Hongzhi those few days, right?"

"Yes,” Xiao Bai whispered. He hadn’t wanted to deal with this guest, but he happened to be the only one free that day, so he was forced to take up this task.

Wang Cheng smiled. "That's right, a policeman might come looking for you today, so..."

Xiao Bai was terrified when he heard this. He grabbed Wang Cheng's sleeve and mournfully cried: "Sir, I was wrong, please don't call the police. That time* really had nothing to do with me, it was a task someone else entrusted to my boss. I’m just a part-time worker, please let me go, I really don't know anything." He almost even kneeled down for him.

[T/N: *when he was tracking Wang Ning’an]

Wang Cheng froze for a moment, then patted his head. "Talk to me normally."

Xiao Bai finally calmed down.

"Didn’t you see Yu Hongzhi hit someone with your own eyes that night? So, later on, you will call the police to report Yu Hongzhi. You don’t have a problem eventually testifying against Yu Hongzhi as a witness, right?" Wang Cheng looked at him from the corner of his eye, his implied threat clear.

Xiao Bai swallowed, "Is that it?"

"Would you rather go squat at the police station for a few days?" Wang Cheng said.

"I wouldn’t rather, I wouldn’t rather." Xiao Bai shook his head like a rattle drum, but suddenly hesitated while shaking. “Wait, I’m still a private investigator, I’m not sure if I’ll be able to show up. I’ll have to ask my boss."

"Ask what? I’m not really forcing you to meet the public’s eye. You just need to inform the police about the whole process you witnessed. In order to avoid being asked what you can't answer, let's just go up and make a confession first."

Wang Cheng dragged him upstairs.

Xiao Bai was reluctantly dragged upstairs. Had he known that things would turn out this way, he would not have come deliver things in person. He wanted to call his boss, but at the same time, didn't dare.

Chu Yifeng didn't expect him to go down and bring someone back up with him. However, the confession really had to be accurate. The reason why Xiao Bai had appeared on that street at night had to be discussed in advance, and his identity as a private investigator could also not be discovered. For the confessions, they let Xiao Bai make a few reports, calling someone from the newspaper, from the news station, and from the police station.

The last ones to agree to investigate this was the TV station, because they had just broadcasted news on this incident in the morning, and now, some random person was jumping out and calling themselves a witness. The station could only prepare for the news to appear at noon. Also, because there was no evidence, the TV station didn't dare to act as if they were certain. However, it was enough for Yu Hongzhi to drink a pot*. The news was also published in the local newspaper the next day.

[T/N: *difficult for him to deal with]

Yu Hongming only learned of this when the police came to his door. Yu Hongzhi hadn’t informed his family of that accident, and had only told the few companions with him at the time that no one was allowed to leak a word of the matter.
