Past Night Promises Chapter 10

Li Shuo stood up and was about to leave, but he immediately noticed the untouched medicine on the coffee table. He pointed at the medicine: "You didn't take it?"

"Oh, I forgot."

Li Shuo hesitated for a moment, then walked over, divided the medicine into portions, and wrapped them one by one in paper towels.

Zhao Jinxin watched Li Shuo dispense the medicine motionlessly, his handsome profile showing a bit of softness due to concentration, Zhao Jinxin frowned slightly.

After dividing the medicine, Li Shuo picked up Zhao Jinxin's mobile phone and said while tinkering: "I set an alarm clock for you. It will remind you to take medicine at 9 o'clock, 15 o'clock, and 21 o'clock every day. This small packet is for one time. Don't touch the water and don't get stressed when sleeping. I will order three meals a day for you and deliver them to your home. I will help you apply hot compresses the day after tomorrow. "

"Then how do I take a shower?"

"I don't care how you take a shower, I won't do it for you anyway." Li Shuo said with a smile, "Since you can change clothes, drive a car, and eat hamburgers with one hand, taking a shower shouldn't be a problem, really. No, just go home."

Zhao Jinxin chuckled and said, "You are so cruel. When you fall in love with me one day, will you regret it?"

"Let's talk about it one day." Li Shuo clapped his hands coolly and prepared to leave.

At this time, his cell phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was a call from a partner in his firm. It was almost midnight in China at this time. If you called me at this time, it was probably because of something urgent.

Li Shuo quickly answered the phone: "Hello, Brother Xiang."

"Li Shuo, are you still in the United States?" Xiang Ning's voice was tired and serious, and something didn't sound right.

Li Shuo also became nervous: "Yeah, what's wrong?"

"Something happened here."

Li Shuo instantly went through the recent projects in his mind. He didn't expect anything to go wrong. He said in a deep voice, "Calm down and tell me what happened."

Zhao Jinxin looked at Li Shuo and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

"Do you still remember the Benhui Real Estate case five or six years ago?"

"Remember, what's wrong?" Li Shuo suddenly had an ominous premonition.

"Ben Hui's legal person disappeared for many years and suddenly appeared and bit you."

Li Shuo stared at him: "It's ridiculous. They deceived us with false accounts. Did any of the billions in loans they defrauded from Bank X fall into my pocket?" Li Shuo realized that his voice was too loud. When he was older, he glanced at Zhao Jinxin, turned away, and lowered his voice and said, "He bit me? Why did he?"

Xiang Ning said anxiously: "Who knows what's going on? This case was sentenced and those who should be arrested were arrested. In the case of Benhui's loan fraud, you only did an audit, and it was based on his deliberate deception." The suspicion of the firm has been cleared long ago through the audit of the accounts. How could that legal person suddenly appear after so many years? "

Li Shuo picked up his coat: "Wait a minute, I'll go out and talk to you." He looked at Zhao Jinxin and said as calmly as possible, "Sorry, I have to leave early."

Zhao Jinxin nodded and looked at Li Shuo with bottomless eyes.

Li Shuo walked out of Zhao Jinxin's house and his tone became stern: "What is that person's purpose?"

"I don't know. I've asked my friends to investigate. I think this matter is not trivial, because if that person jumps out to bite you, there is almost no benefit. Although he is not involved in the company's operations and has no knowledge of the loan fraud at the moment, he does not need to bear criminal responsibility. However, he still has to bear civil compensation, but he has no money at all, so he has been hiding for so many years. Since Bank , no one will do anything to him, I really don’t understand what he wants to do, he doesn’t even know you.”

"Yeah, what can he gain by doing this?" Li Shuo felt a little painful. He couldn't figure out what purpose this person had, to frame him like this?

"Do you really have no personal grudge against this person?"

"No, I don't know him at all..." Li Shuo was suddenly stunned.

Everyone must have a purpose for doing things, such as money, status, desire, emotion, self-realization, etc. Take this matter as an example. If the reason cannot be found at the public level, then at the public level, private......

Xiang Ning also thought about it: "Li Shuo, this is probably a personal grudge. The legal person is now in poverty. As long as he is promised a little benefit, he is probably willing to do anything. Have you offended anyone recently?"

"I..." Li Shuo gritted his teeth. He did think of someone, and this grudge was caused by Li Chengxiu.

Xiang Ning sighed heavily: "Brother, the trouble is a bit big this time. Who did you offend?"

Li Shuo unconsciously avoided the name, "Does he have evidence? Without evidence, it is slander."

"It is said that there is, but I don't know what kind of evidence it is. It may be perjury, or there may be something really harmful to you during the years when you cooperated with Benhui. Anyway, the case has been filed now. If you return to the country, you will be taken away for investigation immediately."

Li Shuo said angrily: "He can open a case just by touching his mouth?!"

"Brother, what kind of person have you offended? There was a hand pushing this matter from the beginning to the end, otherwise it wouldn't have become so serious in just a few days, and my network would not be able to reach it at all. Can't find anything useful."

Li Shuo clenched his fists: "Brother Xiang, keep watching for me. I'll find someone to check and tell you."

"You...hey, okay."

After hanging up the phone, Li Shuo hammered the wall hard and took a few deep breaths to calm down.

...Shao Qun, did you do this?

Li Shuo called a friend in the judicial system and asked him to help with the investigation, and then returned home uneasy.

After much thought, he could only count Shao Qun among the people he had offended recently. Otherwise, given his character and conduct, it would be impossible to think of anyone who would be so hostile to him.

Shao Qun was Li Chengxiu's former boyfriend, but he really didn't want to use the word "boyfriend" to describe that person. He was just a B@st@ard who didn't understand respect at all because he had some power. How could he give up Li Chengxiu to such a person.

He returned to the room, sat at the desk, and looked at the notebook in front of him blankly, with a heavy heart. He thought for a long time in the dark before slowly opening his notebook and finding the information on the Benhui Real Estate project.

Benhui Real Estate is a company he worked with when his career just started. The boss was a northerner with a bold personality and a big brother-like figure. He had a certain amount of support for him, and the two had a close personal relationship.

But this person has a shortcoming, that is, he is too ambitious and pursues the rapid expansion of the company. As a result, projects are blooming all over the place, resulting in a huge funding gap. He still remembered the late night several years ago when his boss came to him and offered to jointly prepare a beautiful account and obtain a loan from the bank. As long as the project was operational again, he could pay back the loan immediately without anyone knowing. And promised him shares.

He refused without thinking. He has never done anything against his will for money, and he is even less willing to touch any high-voltage wires.

So the boss gradually distanced himself from him.

But since their contract has not expired, he still does the audit work at the end of the year. Benhui's accounts at that time were much better than he knew, and they seemed to be perfect. Of course, he doubted that any false accounts could be completely true. As long as the audit was done carefully, loopholes would be found. He didn't tell anyone under his command that he stayed up for three nights and found evidence of fraud from the sea of   complicated data, so he went to question it.

He still couldn't forget the scene where the man, who was about the same age as his father, cried and begged him and made repeated promises to him. After talking to a friend, he finally relented. He took a chance and hoped that after the project made a profit, he would be able to repay the loan without anyone noticing. So he pretended that he didn't know anything and issued an audit report based on the fake accounts. .

Based on this audit report, Benhui loaned 1.2 billion from the bank.

After the incident, his boss didn't say a word about him, and there was no evidence against him, so he just contributed a few testimonies, lost some of his reputation, and was fined a sum of money, just like this case. It doesn't matter. Except for the boss and him, no one knew what was going on.

But his heart was not cleansed from this matter.

That was the biggest mistake he had ever made in his life and the most regrettable decision he had ever made. He regretted countless times why he didn't stop all this. Seeing his friend take risks, he played a role in fueling the situation.

After that, he changed the name of the company, contacted two partners, and established a new firm.

This incident was a warning bell that always hung over his head, and it was also a scar in his heart, but this scar was roughly opened by Shao Qun.

He didn't quite believe that Shao Qun had evidence that could prove him. Even if this matter was revealed from the boss's mouth, it would be groundless. But as long as you have enough energy, you can make a big fuss about it, at least enough to disturb him.

Shao Qun did this just for Li Chengxiu...

Li Shuo looked at the huge group of information and recalled the nights when he spent all night looking for loopholes. The conflicting mood of wanting to find out but being afraid of finding out made him sleepless. His eyes gradually lost focus, and the information in his mind was chaotic, as if it was about to break through the prison of consciousness and explode completely.

Sure enough, anything that goes off track will definitely lead to corresponding troubles. He did something against his will, which earned him years of guilt, and he did something that betrayed his principles, which earned him vicious revenge. Money and fame can't shake him, but feelings drag him down time and time again. The state of life he hopes to achieve most is to be alone without hurting others, so he tries to treat everything and everyone rationally. And the facts further prove his idea. Only with enough rationality can we avoid risks as much as possible and benefit others and ourselves.

He didn't regret everything he did for Li Chengxiu. Even if he didn't do it out of love, it was his duty to help his friends. He didn't do it well, but he didn't do anything wrong either.

However, he must control himself better and no longer be held hostage by his emotions.

After staying up all night, Li Shuo called several friends again to learn about the situation when it was already normal working hours in China. Just like what Xiang Ning said, the authorities have already filed a case and sent people to the office to investigate, but they haven't obtained a search warrant yet. The lawyer withheld the project information and refused to give it to them. They have been wrangling all morning.
