I Was Seduced Into a Marriage After Failing to Charm the Tyrannical Bigshot

Hanyu, I’m Sorry

When Shen Shaofeng got the news, he was so angry that he smashed the teacup in his hand.

Guo Muyang was also very depressed, “What should we do? Are we still going to investigate?”

“We must continue.” Shen Hanyu said slowly.

Xia Zhixin left behind his last words, saying the brakes had a problem. However, because the car had exploded in the accident, it was impossible to check the brakes.

The police retrieved Xia Zhixin’s whereabouts and surveillance videos from the past few days, but they didn’t find any suspicious people doing anything to his car.

Before the incident, he’d even sent his car to the 4S shop for maintenance. The maintenance records of the 4S shop clearly showed that his car was in good condition.

Just Xia Zhixin’s words before his death weren’t enough to prove that Sang Minglang was related to the car accident.

Although the police believed that Sang Minglang was innocent, it provided Shen Hanyu with a new line of investigation.

Guo Muyang wanted to cry, but no tears came out. “But we’ve checked that 4S shop before. The police also approved their maintenance report and said there was no problem with Uncle Xia’s brakes.”

“This time, let’s change our method.” Shen Hanyu said lightly.

After knowing how Shen Hanyu would investigate, Guo Muyang was dumbfounded. “This 4S shop seems to have more than a hundred employees, and some even left...”

Shen Hanyu said, “Then let’s check them one by one.”

Guo Muyang was speechless.

They were lucky. When they found the 78th employee, they found something wrong.

This person suddenly left the 4S store not long after the police released the verdict on the case. He moved out of his original rental place and bought a house in a relatively high-end community in Ming City. Additionally, he also purchased a storefront on a commercial street and changed to an expensive car.

Other than that, he didn’t go to work every day. He played cards, collected rent, went to the bar to drink, and had a lot of women around him. Obviously, he lived a very comfortable life.

But the problem was that he was just a maintenance worker in the 4S shop. Not long ago, he was working overtime with a meager salary. So where’d he get the money to make him rich overnight?

It took Shen Hanyu a lot of effort to find the person.

The other party was walking out of a restaurant while humming a little tune, his stomach full of food and wine.

The man’s smile froze when he saw Shen Hanyu. “You... How’d you find me here?”

“I have something to ask you.” Shen Hanyu said lightly.

The man’s attitude wasn’t cooperative. “I was indeed a repairman at that 4S shop, but I wasn’t in charge when Xia Zhixin’s car came to the shop for maintenance. Therefore, I didn’t know anything about his car. Besides, didn’t the police already announce the results of their investigation? They all acknowledge the maintenance records of the store, so don’t bother about this anymore.”

The man turned around to leave after he finished speaking.

Guo Muyang put his arm around his shoulder. “Big Brother, why are you panicking? We’re not asking about the car accident. We’re only asking why you suddenly resigned.”

“I can resign if I want to. So why do you care?”

The man struggled, but he couldn’t break free. Finally, he retorted, “What are you, the police? You’re being controlling right now.”

“We were just curious,”

Guo Muyang grinned. “You’re not working now, but you’ve bought a car, a house, and even a shop. You’re quite rich, aren’t you?”

“It’s none of your business whether I’m rich or not!”

The man’s expression changed. “I can’t be bothered to talk nonsense with you. So stop following me, or I’ll call the police!”

Guo Muyang grabbed the man’s shoulder and half-forced him into a small alley. “Answer our questions obediently, and we’ll let you go.”

Guo Muyang’s father owned a martial arts school. In the past, Guo Muyang won the championship in the Ming City Martial Arts Competition.

The strength of his hand wasn’t something ordinary people could compare to.

The middle-aged man was dragged in with ease. Shen Hanyu didn’t forget to remind Guo Muyang, “Ask him nicely.”

In less than ten minutes, the man confessed everything in tears with a bloody nose and a swollen face.

A few months ago, someone called him and asked him to tamper with Xia Zhixin’s brake pads secretly.

The other party transferred 10 million yuan to his overseas account. Then, after the police announced the final result, they transferred another massive sum of money to him; 30 million yuan.

Before Shen Hanyu could get more info, the man accidentally lost his footing and fell to death!

“How can there be such a coincidence? We just investigated him, and he died.”

Guo Muyang snarled, “Someone must’ve killed him to silence him.”

However, even the police couldn’t find evidence of him being killed.

There was no more evidence to prove what the man had said to Shen Hanyu.

At the same time, the Shen family’s company was in trouble overnight.

Ever since they’d accepted the massive investment from the Han family’s Kexing Group, the Shen family’s company was no longer the small company it was in the past.

In just a few months, the company expanded on a large scale. The number of employees had increased from 20 to 300, and the salary and benefits had also been greatly improved.

Shen Shaofeng placed too much emphasis on his employees’ abilities and neglected their character. A newly hired business manager had a passionate night with a female employee in the office after work. Someone posted the video online, and it caused an uproar.

However, it was only the beginning of the employees’ private lives to be in chaos.

With the media’s in-depth investigation, everyone found that some of the Shen family’s company’s salespeople had illegal business models. As a result, the Shen family faced a storm of criticism.

To quell public opinion, Han Shangrong transferred a reputable executive from the Kexing Group to assist Shen Shaofeng in managing the Shen family’s company.

The situation gradually improved, but the Shen family’s factory suddenly caught fire and suffered heavy losses.

Several batches of large orders couldn’t be delivered on time and eventually breached the contract. As a result, the Shen family’s company owed a huge debt of hundreds of millions.

“Shaofeng, it’s not that I don’t want to help you, but I really can’t do anything.”

Han Shangrong sighed. “In this situation, if you were the President of the Kexing group, I’m afraid you would’ve used the same method I did to survive. I need to cut an arm off so I can lessen the damage.”

The withdrawal of funds from the Han family’s Kexing Group was the last straw that crushed the Shen family’s company.

Shen Shaofeng went around begging for help, but no one could solve his crisis. Finally, he sold a few houses under his name to pay off the debts, but it was just a drop in the bucket.

After a while, the company had no choice but to file for bankruptcy. Unfortunately, Shen Shaofeng fell sick, so the aftermath of the bankruptcy was handed over to Shen Hanyu.

However, even if they went bankrupt, they’d still have to pay off the debts.

Shen Shaofeng sat on the balcony and looked at the night sky. He seemed to have lost his soul and looked dejected.

He looked at Shen Hanyu, his eyes red. “Hanyu, I’m sorry.”

At first, Shen Hanyu strongly opposed him accepting the Han family’s investment. However, he was stubborn and didn’t listen, leading to today’s bitter outcome.

“Tomorrow, go to Han Shangrong and sell the company’s chip patent to him.”

Shen Shaofeng looked extremely sad. “Tell him I don’t want much money, as long as it’s enough to pay off the debt.”
