Chapter 46 Keeping Secrets
Shen hope pushed Jiang Huaimeng back to Lin Zheng's ward.
Looking at Lin Zheng, who was still unconscious on the hospital bed, Jiang Huaimeng's face had been very pale for the past few days since she received Lin Zheng's call that day.
They hurt Lin Zheng and Shen hope so badly; they completely disregarded her.
This has touched a raw nerve with her.
"How's that Boss Zhang doing? Have you found him yet?"
Shen hope looked at Lin Zheng, whose expression was equally serious. Ever since the day the two of them were picked up by the people sent by Jiang Huaimeng.
The following day, President Jiang sent a large number of people to wipe out the entire organization in the neighboring city. Boss Zhang, who started his business in real estate and engaged in criminal activities, had more than 400 men under his command. Overnight, the organization disappeared from the country.
Some ran away, some died, some scattered. The most ridiculous thing was that Boss Zhang actually abandoned his four wives who had been with him for many years, and he didn't even have time to transfer the money. He just disappeared in Jiangcheng.
None of his wives or mistresses had a good impression of him afterwards; they all cursed him for being heartless and abandoning his wife and children, and exposed all his deeds, businesses, and secrets.
This crackdown gave Jiang Huaimeng an extra two billion yuan in cash flow. She also had people infiltrate those messy companies and have professionals handle their sale or bankruptcy procedures.
It is estimated that she will receive an astronomical sum of money afterward, but of course she cannot take it all; a large portion will be confiscated.
So even if that Boss Zhang reappears now, he has absolutely no ability to stir up trouble again.
Of course, it's hard to say whether it will ever happen again.
Shen hope reported to the leader:
"After he received the news that day, he ran away and has been missing ever since. Not only are our subordinates investigating, but the police are also investigating at the same time. However, no matter how capable he is, he cannot escape Jiangcheng. Countless eyes are watching him at all major stations."
Jiang Huaimeng stared at Lin Zheng's sleeping face, her voice as cold as ice:
"Find him before the police do, and once you catch him, don't let him die a quick death. Make him suffer as much as possible, you understand? I want him to know what the consequences are for directly causing trouble for me."
"Don't worry, Mr. Jiang, but I suspect he might never show up again..."
Jiang Huaimeng knew that Shen hope meant that the other party might commit suicide after realizing there was no way to escape after running away for a period of time, so as to avoid the pain of being tortured by them.
This is highly likely, after all, Jiang Huaimeng is not a good person, and the suffering one would endure if captured by him is unimaginable.
Jiang Huaimeng cautioned, "I don't want that to happen; try to capture them alive."
"Yes, Mr. Jiang."
"Alright, you can go now. I want to be alone with Lin Zheng for a while."
Shen hope responded, and before leaving, she glanced one last time at Lin Zheng on the bed and went outside to keep watch.
In the ward, Jiang Huaimeng slowly moved her wheelchair to Lin Zheng's front.
The numbers on the instrument continued to fluctuate, and Jiang Huaimeng gently stroked Lin Zheng's face with her delicate hand.
Her delicate and beautiful face carried a cool, faint murderous intent:
"I'm so sorry you've suffered so much. You've only been with me for a few days and you've already endured so much pain, almost losing your life. I promise you, this will never happen again."
Starting today, I will, in the shortest possible time, wipe out all those in Jiangcheng and the underground outside the city who do not obey our organization, and kill all those who resist us. Haven't you been doing something similar lately? But it's too dangerous for you to do it alone. Let me help you; it will make things easier for you."
The next morning, the sunlight streamed in through the window again.
Downstairs at the hospital, someone was reporting to Shen hope on the specifics of the past few days.
Since Jiang Huaimeng also holds a position in the Jiang Group, she can't stay with Lin Zheng all the time, but she doesn't trust anyone else to protect her.
So Shen hope was assigned to watch over Lin Zheng 24 hours a day until he woke up.
At this moment, Shen hope was looking at those documents.
The subordinate who reported the news instructed, "Sister Shen, I checked again the thirty-seven people who came to provide support that day, and the number does match. Moreover, no one participated that day."
"Thirty-seven people... Okay, I understand. You can go about your business now."
"It's Sister Shen."
After his subordinates left, Shen hope looked at the detailed description of the investigation in the documents and the photos of the scene.
That night, while she was fighting the assassination team, they also called for reinforcements, which Lin Zheng said he took care of alone.
Shen hope originally thought there wouldn't be many people, maybe only ten or so at most?
After all, Lin Zheng was just an ordinary person; he didn't have any special ability to stop too many reinforcements for him.
Strangely enough, the other side sent nearly forty people to support the group of assassins.
Although not all of them were armed, these were still strong thugs. What was most bizarre was that the way these people died was extremely familiar. Many of them died with a single stab, a dagger inserted into their throats, and the method was almost identical to... Shen hope's own handiwork?
But she knew perfectly well that she hadn't done any of this; it was Lin Zheng who did it.
How did he manage to do that?
Should I report the truth to President Jiang about this? President Jiang has been tacitly assuming that I did it these past few days.
How many more things is this despicable man hiding from us?!
Should I tell him? If I report the truth to President Jiang, will he have a bad impression of Lin Zheng? Will he think that having him around is a threat?
No, probably not, because President Jiang really admires Lin Zheng now. At most, he'll just ask me to investigate him more secretly.
Shen hope closed the documents; these thoughts were giving her a headache.
She didn't even know what she was doing. Over the years, she had never hidden anything from President Jiang.
Although President Jiang didn't ask about this matter, and I didn't lie, I still felt very strange. What was strange was not why Lin Zheng had so many secrets, but why I had the idea of covering things up for him.
"Miss Shen! Miss Shen! Mr. Lin is awake!"
Amidst these anxious thoughts, a sudden shout made Shen hope's eyes widen in surprise: "What? He's awake?!"
The nurse at the door smiled and nodded, "She just woke up and is eating now!"
Shen hope smiled unconsciously and quickly ran towards the ward.
In the private hospital room, Lin Zheng leaned back on the raised hospital bed, marveling at how good a sleep he had been.
The system's support was indeed well-deserved; he could clearly feel his body detoxing every day, and after just a few days of simple sleep, he felt refreshed.
Apart from the piece of thigh flesh that Shen hope had cut off with a knife, the rest of the thigh had almost healed.
A familiar figure entered through the door. Lin Zheng smiled upon seeing the woman in casual clothes: "Little Shen hope! Oh, you're at the hospital! How are you feeling?"
