Chapter 366: Who Did You Frame?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When Lin Xiang and Wang Xu returned to the old courtyard, they realized that Chu Qi was already waiting there.
“Why are you here?” Wang Xu asked Chu Qi curiously.
Chu Qi glanced at her before asking Lin Xiang, “How was it?”
Wang Xu pursed her lips. She did not know what she had done to offend Chu Qi.
Ever since Lin Xiang came, this guy no longer seemed to be talking to her as much anymore!
Wang Xu could not help but wonder if Chu Qi was somewhat interested in Lin Xiang!
Deciding to shove it to the back of her mind, Wang Xu rushed into the kitchen and started rummaging for food.
This morning, when she received a call from Fang Ya, she had rushed to the old courtyard to meet Lin Xiang. Then, she had rushed to the bank. Wang Xu had not had a single bite yet!
As soon as she walked into the kitchen, Wang Xu saw the hot porridge in the pot. There were a few side dishes on the side, and her eyes lit up with joy.
She looked at Chu Qi and asked, “Did you prepare this?”
Chu Qi grunted and asked Lin Xiang again, “Are you hungry? Let’s have something first!”
When Wang Xu heard Chu Qi’s words, she grew furious.
This was simply prepared for Lin Xiang!
Wang Xu retracted her neck and picked up a bowl to scoop up a large bowl of hot porridge.
“Who cares who it’s prepared for! It’s mine once it’s in my stomach!” Wang Xu said while shaking her head.
Lin Xiang was not in a hurry to go into the kitchen to eat. Instead, he checked the amount of cash with Chu Qi and went over their next actions before entering the kitchen to eat breakfast.
Fang Ya arrived at the old house near noon.
He Feng also rushed to the old house.
“Brother-in-law, why are you here?” Wang Xu was a little surprised to see He Feng.
He Feng chuckled. “It’s been too long since I’ve appeared. I was afraid you’d forget that i existed!”
“How could I!” Wang Xu laughed dryly before continuing to ask, “Is this related to your work?”
He Feng shook his head and glanced at Fang Ya before saying, “I’ve informed the old leader that this money will be returned intact.”
“They were clearly attempting to frame Sis!” Wang Xu said angrily.
Chu Qi had another thought. “I don’t think it’s that simple!”
“Why do you say that?” He Feng looked at Chu Qi as if he was very interested in Chu Qi’s thoughts.
“If we just use the registered cash to determine that Sister Fang Ya embezzled the government’s special money, this evidence isn’t enough to convict her,” Chu Qi deliberated slowly.
“After all, she can’t get close to this money, and she could not have taken it out herself,” Chu Qi analyzed carefully.
“Then what do you think they’re trying to do?” He Feng asked again, clearly impressed.
Chu Qi thought for a moment and said, “Although I can’t be 100% sure, they’re simply in a hurry to be rid of the money.”
“Then didn’t we fall into a trap?” Wang Xu widened her eyes and looked at Chu Qi in disbelief.
Chu Qi shook his head and said, “When they wanted to check this money, they were obviously targeting Sister Fang Ya, and her backer, Secretary Nie.
“Although the evidence would not be enough, the money was in Sister Fang Ya’s hands after all. She would get caught up in something regardless,” Chu Qi said the reason again.
“Therefore, I think that if they found out that there was a problem with the money, they could punish Sister Fang Ya and trigger the investigation of the special funds by the relevant departments,” Chu Qi continued, looking at He Feng.
Wang Xu found it a little odd. “Then, aren’t they shooting themselves in the foot?”
“No! They won’t!” He Feng immediately gave the answer.
“Why?” Lin Xiang could not help but ask.
“Because this money is the special funds under Secretary Nie’s name,” Fang Ya explained further to the two.
Chu Qi glanced at Fang Ya and continued, “In other words, this money can be misappropriated. Secretary Nie would be a major suspect!”
“Wait, wait, wait, I don’t understand!” Wang Xu raised her hand and shouted for a time-out.
“This money is a special fund under Secretary Nie’s name, but Secretary Nie didn’t know it was misappropriated?” Wang Xu looked at Chu Qi with a questioning look and then revealed an expression of sudden realization, “Are they trying to… frame Secretary Nie?”
“You finally got it!” Chu Qi nodded at Wang Xu as a form of praise.
