Bloodstained Truths Uncovered Chapter 4

The Ark Building, located at the intersection of Wangjing Road in the financial street in the center of Yinjiang City, can be said to be one of the landmark buildings in Yinjiang City. Another landmark building is the Pearl Tower on Noah Times Square. Noah Times Square and Ark Building are both brothers and sisters, and they were both built by He Zhizhang, the mayor of Yinjiang City in the mid-1980s. Because of the construction of Yinjiang City from a dilapidated fishing village to a first-tier coastal garden city in China, the old man of the He family has proudly achieved political achievements and his career has been smooth sailing since then. He retired from the central leadership team in his early years and is a well-known politician in Yinjiang City and even the whole country. He is also a well-deserved hero in the expansion of Yinjiang City.

Mr. He had the means to seamlessly enter the business world after retiring from the officialdom. He used his connections and resources to acquire a large domestic hotel group with his partners and became the controlling shareholder. After several years of exploration and development, the "Swan City" brand was reborn from the old system. Since then, the He family has been thriving and prosperous, and today it is considered a leading enterprise in Yinjiang City. "Swan City Hotel Group" is located in the Ark Building.

A few years ago, Mr. He retired from his position for the second time with great success, and Wells HE, the only member of the family who was not involved in politics, took over the management of the company.

Simply put, Wells HE is the son of an official and a rich man, and he is one of the most famous young masters in Yinjiang City.

Today was supposed to be the opening day of the project. The reporters blocking the entrance of the Ark Building were originally here for the "Shanshui New City" project, but now the media's focus has completely shifted to the two rotten corpses that were excavated. The reporters didn't really want to know the truth of the murder, but because this case was related to the Shanshui New City project and the He family, they were mostly trying to find news points. As long as Wells HE said something in front of the media, even if it was nonsense, there would be no need to worry about breaking news points in the next few weeks.

However, Wells HE did not give them this opportunity. With Assistant Xiao clearing the way and escorting him, he passed through the layers of reporters and entered the Ark Building safely without even a hair out of place.

In front of the president's office, an elite and capable female secretary stepped up to him in high heels and said, "Mr. He, Mr. Wu from Rising Sun Steel is waiting for you in the conference room."

"It's not like he was the only one who got into trouble while cutting the ribbon, why are you looking for me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the glass door of the conference room next to the president's office was pushed open, and Manager Wu stood at the door with a smile on his face: "Mr. He, you kept me waiting for so long."

Wells HE put his hands in his suit pockets and smiled at him. Before walking to the meeting room, he lowered his voice and said to Xiao Shu: "Send two cups of coffee."

He guessed that Boss Wu's purpose of coming was almost certain, that he came to prevent the project from being delayed. Now that a murder has occurred in Qingling Lake, the project will definitely be delayed. But for businessmen, time is money, so Boss Wu's visit is not redundant at all. But Wells HE disagreed. He did not expect to make a fortune from Shanshui New City, because he already had a fortune. He had no intention of participating in the Shanshui New City project from the beginning, and he only regarded the favor that others had been longing for as a waste of money. If it was lost, it was lost. If it was delayed, it was delayed. He did not care.

He doesn't care, but there are people who do care, such as Secretary Gao, the current deputy mayor of Yinjiang City and a supporter of Boss Wu's municipal party committee.

"We have already signed the contract. The construction period is very tight. What if we cannot complete the project by the deadline? It will not only be a big loss for us, but also bad for our superiors and subordinates."

Boss Wu's words "upwards and downwards" are very interesting. Wells HE sat on the single black leather sofa, crossed his legs and listened to his words. He didn't say anything, but smiled slightly, and habitually played with the ring on his right thumb with his left hand: "What does Boss Wu mean?"

Boss Wu waved his hands and smiled exaggeratedly: "No, no, I just think it's not a good thing for this case to continue to ferment. Is it possible to put this case to the bottom, stop investigating, block the news, and start the project as soon as possible? I have bet my life and property on the bank, Mr. He, you are a big family and don't care about these little things, how can I compare with you? My matter is still a small matter, delaying the project is a big matter." After saying that, he emphasized: "Of course, this is also what Secretary Gao meant."

Wells HE was never afraid of offending anyone, so he spoke directly and without any roundabout way, saying: "So Secretary Gao means that the case should not be investigated anymore and the construction should start as soon as possible?"

Boss Wu just laughed dryly and didn't say anything.

Wells HE glanced at him, smiled awkwardly on his calm face, and spread his hands and said, "Boss Wu, do you think I can influence the police investigation? I'm just a businessman, I don't have such powerful means."

Boss Wu: "...You are too modest."

This is not a compliment. Anyone who knows a little about Wells HE's background knows that he is being "modest". More than being modest, he is simply pretending to be a grandson. Although he is just a money-grubbing businessman, his family has connections. The title of He Zhizhang's grandson alone is enough to scare people, not to mention that he has a father and a brother.

I have heard that the second young master of the He family is very difficult to talk to and his temper is very difficult to predict. He always does things as he pleases and does not follow the business philosophy of businessmen. He is not slick at all and always makes people feel embarrassed. But the powerful ones are all his family members. As for him, if he is removed from the He family's household register, who will recognize him?

The children of wealthy families have only one disadvantage: all their abilities and efforts will be wiped out by the four words "good birth". Everyone sees them as giant babies born with a silver spoon. The better their birth, the more hated they are. Wells HE deserves to be hated. In addition, he is cold and indifferent, so he inevitably appears arrogant. In fact, it is not the case. He is just too lazy to smooth out those troublesome interpersonal relationships, so he simply avoids everyone and doesn't get close to anyone.

Although he was a businessman, he didn't like his peers because he was very clear about the various rules and regulations in the industry. Moreover, he had a sharp eye and although he didn't understand the ways of the world, he knew them well. So he could see through a person after a few glances and distance himself from him. Gradually, in the past few years, he had offended almost all of his peers.

Therefore, his reputation is not very good. People in the same circle are often polite to him in front of him, but turn around and call him a piece of sh*t. If this little b@st@rd didn't have his parents to earn a living, what would he be!

Wells HE used the same old trick and left Manager Wu aside without giving him a reply, just waiting for the other party to get tired of him and feel embarrassed and leave on his own, and the matter would be over.

Just as Manager Wu was becoming increasingly impatient, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and a woman in a fashionable suit walked in with two cups of coffee. She bent down and placed the two cups of coffee in front of Wells HE and Manager Wu.

When she bent down to put the coffee, her long black hair slid down from her shoulders, and the tail of her hair gently brushed Wells HE's wrist. Wells HE smelled a shampoo fragrance from her hair, and his eyebrows suddenly frowned. A cold light flashed across his glasses, and he looked up at the woman who was leaving: "Wait a minute."

The woman turned to face him: "Mr. He."

Wells HE looked at her fair and pretty face for a few seconds: "Why haven't I seen you before?"

"I'm your administrative secretary and I've only been here a week."

Wells HE seemed to show great interest in her and asked again: "What's your name?"

"Sophia Shu."

Wells HE repeated her name twice in his mind, and then asked: "What brand of shampoo do you use?"

Not only Sophia Shu, but even Xiao Shu was stunned. Although the boss was known for his unruly and unrestrained reputation, he had never harassed female subordinates or had s3x with them. Although Sophia Shu was beautiful, she was not beautiful enough to make the boss abandon his principles and have evil thoughts.

Sophia Shu couldn't control her surprise and uttered a low "Huh?"

Wells HE pinched his ring impatiently: "What brand of shampoo do you use?"

Sophia Shu subconsciously turned her head and smelled her hair. After making sure that she didn't smell anything strange, she replied, "I don't know about that either."

Wells HE smiled and said, "How can a girl not even know her own shampoo brand?"

Sophia Shu said: "I stayed at a friend's house last night and didn't use my own shampoo."

If Sophia Shu could take a look at Wells HE, she would see that his face suddenly drooped and his chin was tightly clenched, as if a thousand-pound weight was hanging on it.

"It seems that your friend is very rich, and he is using the VKS Sea Salt Concept Limited Edition."

Sophia Shu smiled politely, not knowing why, "I don't think so. His financial situation is very ordinary."

Wells HE suddenly sniffed the wrist that her hair had just brushed against, and his tone became even colder: "Compared to that, your perfume is much more ordinary."

Sophia Shu blushed slightly, said "yes" softly, and then quickly stepped out.

Wells HE looked at the glass door she closed, his eyes so intense that it seemed as if he could scrape a layer of glass shards off the door.

Although Xiao Shu was not involved in the whole process, he could understand why his boss changed his mind in an instant. The VKS that Wells HE just mentioned was not only a limited edition, but also a pre-release edition. Because he was friends with the president of VKS Asia, the other party gave him a few bottles as a gift. It can be said that he was the only one in China who had it, and he only gave it to one person, Liam Chu.

Two or three months ago, Wells HE accidentally heard Liam Chu complaining that he stayed up late to work overtime every day and his hair was falling out like wool, and maybe he would go bald that day, so he threw him a bottle of VKS. However, now this smell that was unique to Wells HE and him appeared on another woman.

Assistant Xiao glanced out the window and felt that the day was about to change.

Manager Wu, who had been ignored by him for a while, also noticed that he was in a bad mood, so he said goodbye to him in a dejected manner, but unexpectedly heard him say before leaving.

"It is better not to pursue this case any further. I will find a way."

Boss Wu thanked him for his hard work and said goodbye.

Wells HE's face turned pale as he took out his phone and dialed a number. The call was picked up after a while. It was very noisy over there. The noise of reporters and the sound of taking pictures could be clearly heard. Liam Chu yelled at someone and stepped back! Then he shouted, "What's wrong?"

Wells HE: "What are you doing?"

Liam Chu: "Collect the bodies! Is there anything wrong? If nothing, hang up now."

Wells HE: "I have something to say. I want to remind you that your two animals are still with me. If you don't take them away before 12 o'clock tonight, I will castrate the male and sterilize the female."

Liam Chu was puzzled, wondering what this little b@st@rd was going crazy for. And isn't the quantifier for cat 'head'? Isn't it 'only'?

He went to ask Fu Yi, who said, "It's 'only'."

So Liam Chu silently sneered in his heart and sent him a text message - illiterate.
