He naturally understood Chen Jie's intentions and was willing to trust him.
After all, if Chen Jie could cure his hidden ailment from afar, he could also diagnose illnesses remotely.
He knew his own condition; ever since his performance in that area declined, he could no longer have children.
But Wenwen was pregnant, and he knew what that implied.
However, Xu Ming didn't make a scene. Instead, after Wenwen returned to her room, he enjoyed himself first.
Wenwen knew his illness was cured, and she was determined to follow Xu Ming faithfully.
But her joy didn't last long. Xu Ming kicked her off the bed, shouting, "You slut! You're dumped by me from now on!"
...
Meanwhile, in another private residence, Fan Hao, a shareholder of the Zhang Corporation, was making some phone calls.
"Heh heh, Zhang Cheng's death is good, brilliant, and spectacular! This will help me complete my plan!"
He flipped through the documents in his hand, smacking his lips.
As a major shareholder, he had been trying to siphon funds from the company, but Zhang Cheng kept a close watch, preventing him from profiting.
In fact, if he had continued to sell company assets, Zhang Cheng would have investigated him within two more days.
Now that Zhang Cheng was dead, no one was holding him back.
"What plan of yours? Embezzling company assets?" Chen Jie said.
"Who? Who are you?" Fan Hao sprang up from the ground.
He then glared at Chen Jie, "Damn it, when did you get into my room?"
Chen Jie ignored him, looking at the documents in his hand. "Selling company equipment worth 300 million, but the payment account isn't a public one. If I'm not mistaken, such a large amount of assets, if discovered, would lead to a lifetime in prison, wouldn't it?"
"You... are you someone sent by Liu Mei?"
Fan Hao calmed down and then said, "I know what you mean. Now that Zhang Cheng is dead, Liu Mei, as his wife, wants to take over the company, right? Give me these documents, and I'll gladly help Liu Mei!"
"I came to you indeed to ask you to support someone in taking the position of company president. However, that person is not Liu Mei, but Zhang Cheng's sister, Zhang Xinyan."
"What?"
Fan Hao exclaimed, "Director Zhang has a sister?"
"You don't need to worry about that. I'm taking these documents with me. You know what to do tomorrow."
Chen Jie took the documents and left to find the next person.
Fan Hao calmed down for a moment, then forced a bitter smile.
"The Zhang family members are all difficult characters!"
The fourth person on the list was named Du Jin.
Looking at this person's information, Chen Jie was greatly vexed.
This was because Du Jin lived a very happy life, and no one around him was ill.
He was generally respected at the company. Persuading him would likely not be easy.
However, Chen Jie eventually found him.
"Du Jin, I won't beat around the bush. I want you to support Zhang Xinyan in inheriting Zhang Cheng's assets."
After explaining the relationship between Zhang Xinyan and Zhang Cheng, Chen Jie got straight to the point.
"Heh heh, impossible!"
Du Jin sneered. "I've seen plenty of you vampire relatives! When Zhang Ge was working hard, you didn't offer any help. Now that he's dead, you're all here fighting over his inheritance!"
"Zhang Ge's assets belong only to his wife! None of you will get anything!"
"Leave immediately before I lose my temper! Go back and tell that greedy Zhang Xinyan that I will definitely stop her!"
Chen Jie frowned. "I'm not discussing this with you!"
"And you think I am? Zhang Ge is dead! And you people are trying to get your hands on his fortune! How shameless!" Du Jin said angrily.
He then pointed to the door and shouted, "Get out! Get out now! Seeing your faces makes me sick!"
For a moment, Chen Jie felt helpless.
If he had ulterior motives, Chen Jie would have had ways to deal with him.
But Du Jin seemed to be an upright person.
This made it difficult for Chen Jie to resort to force.
Then, Chen Jie's mind stirred. "Since you care about Zhang Cheng, you should help Zhang Xinyan reclaim her inheritance."
"Because Zhang Cheng would surely think the same way."
"Bah! I know very well what Zhang Ge thought. Liu Mei is his wife of many years, the closest person to him! To Zhang Ge, Zhang Xinyan was just a relative by blood, an outsider." Du Jin said coldly.
"Is that so? I have a recording. You might change your mind after listening to it!"
Chen Jie took out his phone, ready to play a recording.
"I won't listen. You don't need to play it for me. Do you think I'll believe what you say?" Du Jin said coldly.
But Chen Jie didn't respond and simply started the recording.
Initially, Du Jin didn't pay much attention, but when he heard the content of the recording, his expression immediately changed.
"Do you believe me now? Zhang Xinyan and Zhang Cheng had to separate for some reason, but they are ultimately family. Do you think a woman who was with Zhang Cheng for two years is qualified to inherit the fortune Zhang Cheng worked his entire life to build?" Chen Jie said calmly.
"Damn it, damn it... Unforgivable, Liu Mei, you are such a wicked woman! I was so deceived!" Du Jin clenched his fists, his face flushed red.
"Brother, you misjudged people! You should have listened to your grandfather's advice back then, or you wouldn't have ended up in this situation!"
Chen Jie said calmly, "The day before Zhang Cheng was harmed, he gave half of his assets to Zhang Xinyan, with a note as proof. If they didn't have feelings for each other, why would they do that? I am helping Zhang Xinyan reclaim her inheritance, which is merely taking back what rightfully belongs to the Zhang family. I believe you know what to do."
Chen Jie ignored the stunned Du Jin, left the Du residence, and headed to the last address on the list.
This person was named Wan Jie. Chen Jie felt it was unlikely he could persuade this person.
At the Wan residence, Wan Jie gazed infatuatedly at Liu Mei. "Liu Mei, our plan has finally succeeded! From now on, we can also be billionaires!"
Liu Mei giggled. "Brother Wan, you must help me ascend to the position of president tomorrow and get all of Zhang Cheng's shares!"
"Then can you stay with me tonight?" Wan Jie asked foolishly.
"Tomorrow! After tomorrow's business is done, I'll be yours to take," Liu Mei said seductively.
"Mm-hmm, then I'll wait until tomorrow."
Liu Mei left, and Wan Jie lecherously stared at her retreating figure.
Liu Mei was so sensual, a walking embodiment of desire.
Looking at her every day, his mind was filled with fantasies. Now, he would finally have her.
At this moment, the door opened again.
"Heh heh, Liu Mei, have you changed your mind?"
Wan Jie finished speaking, then saw that the person was not Liu Mei and frowned, shouting, "Kid, how dare you, a servant, enter my room without permission? Get out, you're fired."
