Reborn as Tycoon's Wife in the Countryside-Chapter 283 Acting Like a Hooligan (First Update)

The person opposite, looking rather official, opened the dossier in their hands, "According to the information we’ve obtained, you grew up in Lihua Village, attended high school in the county for three years, and haven’t been anywhere else. As for your husband Ye Cheng, he and his grandfather are just ordinary doctors, to be exact, barefoot doctors, who can only practice among the villagers."

Xiaofeng raised an eyebrow, "So?"

"You all come from no noteworthy backgrounds, and couldn’t possibly have the resources to take over a city department store on your own. Su Xiaofeng, tell us the truth, who bought the store and gifted it to you? Could it be that the Wu Family bought it to thank Ye Cheng, but felt it inappropriate to give it directly to him, so they gave it to you instead?" It made complete sense for them to suspect this.

It was said that on that day, even the bank staff were alarmed.

Not just anyone could make a call and have bank staff rush over, there must have been a significant figure involved.

Su Xiaofeng twirled the pen in her hand, her skin glowing healthier by the day, soft and dewy, the kind you could pinch a flower from, only to see her lips curve up, "Comrade, you are from the department, people from the department always emphasize factual realism and evidence. It’s not good to suspect others so casually. Besides, my husband and his grandfather are doctors, they’ve saved countless lives over the years, there’s bound to be someone extremely wealthy, wealthy enough to make others green with envy."

Making bold claims without evidence, they were preparing to pin a false charge on Mr. Wu.

The store had been a gift from Ye Cheng to her, and it had nothing to do with anyone else, much less the Wu Family.

"Your family is ordinary, and although the Ye doctors, grandfather and grandson, are from out of town and have decent family conditions here, they aren’t so wealthy that they could just buy a mall outright. Thus, we have legitimate reasons to suspect that this was the Wu Family’s doing."

Another officer took over the conversation, "The logic behind the Wu Family’s action is simple; they believed that the Ye grandfather and grandson had saved the life of the Wu Family’s eldest son and were very grateful. They wanted to give a substantial gift to Dr. Ye but were worried about being caught, so they gave it to you, Su Xiaofeng. We’re right, aren’t we?"

The sequence of events was very likely just as described.

Otherwise, how could Su Xiaofeng, with her family background, afford to buy a mall? That was obviously impossible.

As for the Ye grandfather and grandson, they had no significant background locally to be able to call in favors from the bank readily, that wasn’t very likely either.

So, Su Xiaofeng was a breaking point; as long as she admitted that the Wu Family had played a role behind the scenes, it would suffice.

"Wrong," Xiaofeng instantly refused, "That’s just your speculation, you have no evidence. Comrade, without evidence, it doesn’t exist, and I of course won’t admit to something that doesn’t exist."

"Su Xiaofeng, you better be straight with us, we’re not here to sweet-talk you, but to investigate the truth. As long as you cooperate, everything will be fine. If you don’t cooperate actively, when we uncover the truth, these matters will not only involve Mr. Wu, you’ll be in big trouble too."

The tone of their words was clearly threatening.

Listening to their words, Xiaofeng shrugged, "Cooperating, huh? I’m cooperating very actively with you now, and I’ll tell you, the mall was a gift from my husband. As for whether the Wu Family was involved, you’ll need to find that evidence yourselves."

The extent of Ye Cheng’s capabilities, she didn’t know. But since Ye Cheng said it was his gift, it definitely was.

She always felt that Ye Cheng was definitely not as simple as he appeared.

"Su Xiaofeng, you have to take responsibility for your words. We’re having a serious conversation with you, not chatting idly or joking around. Every word and phrase of yours will be recorded. You don’t have to say much, just tell us directly, was the mall a gift the Wu Family intended for Ye Cheng, but they gave it to you instead for safety’s sake?"

"Comrade, I can tell you clearly, the mall was a wedding gift from my husband, the Wu Family was not involved. If you think the Wu Family was involved, please present your evidence, or directly contact my husband and ask him."

Seeing that they couldn’t get anything out of Xiaofeng, they didn’t pursue this issue any further but switched to another, "According to our information, Wu Ershun is an employee at your factory, why did you hire him, did he in some way open doors of convenience for you?"

If Su Xiaofeng wouldn’t admit the mall was from the Wu Family, they would try another angle.

"You’re talking about Wu Ershun, huh? He wanted to work in my factory, naturally, I let him. He isn’t working for me for free; I pay him a salary. Or are you suggesting that it’s disgraceful for a young man to earn money in your eyes?"

Open doors of convenience, what does that mean? She couldn’t understand it.

"Who you use as workers is certainly none of our business. We’re only concerned about one thing, whether the Wu family is giving your factory special treatment." Since the inception of the Lihua Factory, everything had gone particularly smoothly, originally having only five or six employees, but now it had expanded to over a hundred.

At this rate, the number of employees will continue to increase.

As capable as Su Xiaofeng is, she couldn’t have developed a factory so rapidly in such a short time by herself—there must be someone behind her.

Who could this person be? Could it be that Wu Ershun used his father’s connections to smooth things over for Su Xiaofeng? Anything and everything is possible.

Listening to their endless questions and suspicions, Xiaofeng was already impatient and scoffed, "Comrades, has anyone ever told you that making accusations without evidence is rowdiness? You’ve got the energy to fish for words from my mouth, better go and find some evidence. With evidence, wouldn’t everything be clear?"

"Su Xiaofeng, don’t be too presumptuous," one of the staff stood up, "We are just following the normal workflow. What do you mean by rowdiness?"

"Su Xiaofeng, who gives you the confidence to be so arrogant?" Another staff member also stood up, "You should be aware, if your backer is Mr. Wu, he has already been arrested."

"Sorry, my backing is nobody but myself. Is there anything else you need? If there’s nothing else, please leave. I need to start working."

"Su Xiaofeng, don’t celebrate too soon. We will certainly find the evidence. You covering for the Wu family, your end will definitely not be pleasant." The two staff members stood up and stormed out furiously.

That Su Xiaofeng, her ability to infuriate people is truly first-rate. Who would believe that such a woman could set up a factory without someone backing her?

"Manager Su." Factory Director Zhou watched the two leave from the doorway, his face filled with apprehension, "Aren’t you afraid that with that attitude of yours, they’ll make trouble for our factory or for you?"

The factory had just started formal operations, and all the paperwork was legal, but if someone really came to cause trouble, it would be unstoppable.

"Afraid of what? If you stand upright, you need not fear a crooked shadow." Xiaofeng wasn’t too concerned about whether Mr. Wu was in trouble or not. She simply considered Wu Yifan and Wu Ershun as friends from the bottom of her heart and didn’t want to see the Wu family in trouble.

Of course, she was also telling the truth—her factory and her stores, the Wu family didn’t get involved. If the Wu family had done anything wrong, she would definitely tell the truth and not cover for the Wu family at all.

"Manager Su, that’s well said, but some people won’t reason with us like that," Factory Director Zhou felt that Xiaofeng was still being a bit sentimental.

"It’s fine. I know what I’m doing," Xiaofeng felt it wasn’t a big deal, "You go and get busy."

...

That evening, Lin Jianguo returned home to find Luo Yuzhu had already lain down but she quickly got up to help him with his briefcase and asked softly, "Today, as I passed by the Wu family’s place, there was crying. Mr. Wu isn’t on post, is he?"

"You’re so out of the loop to only know now," Lin Jianguo sat on the edge of the bed, "Someone reported Wu Changquan, accusing him of concealing the casualty numbers from the mine incident years ago."

"I knew that the Wu family would face issues sooner or later, and I really predicted it. What’s the situation with Wu Changquan now?"

"For now, at most he’ll be demoted. The incident from that year involved too many people, so re-investigation would be tough. However, if there is evidence for one thing, he will definitely go to prison." He had waited a long time for this opportunity, so when it came, he was sure to seize it fiercely.

"Xiaofeng owns a shopping mall. As long as Xiaofeng admits that the shopping mall was prepared by the Wu family as a gift for Ye Cheng but to avoid suspicion, it was temporarily registered under Xiaofeng’s name. As long as Xiaofeng admits it was a gift from the Wu family to Ye Cheng, who then gifted it to her, this thing becomes much easier."

Lin Jianguo looked straight at Luo Yuzhu after finishing.

Luo Yuzhu’s heart skipped a beat, and she instinctively responded, "Jianguo, I’ve already severed ties with that girl. You’re not thinking of asking me to make up with her, are you? That girl is incredibly stubborn; she definitely won’t listen to me."

This girl had been rebellious for months, as if she had become a completely different person, which is why she had severed their relationship.
