AWB Chapter 18 Wu Ke was called away by Uncle Hat.
Chapter 18 Wu Ke was called away by Uncle Hat.
Wu Ke reacted as if she'd heard a joke, "You? Let me go? Don't be ridiculous. I'm being lenient by not teaching you a lesson."
"Think carefully about the orphanage where you grew up. I don't want to hear about me taking Gu Didi's watch again tomorrow. Let's go." Wu Ke turned and left with the others.
After Wu Ke and the others left, Song Qianyi realized that money alone was not enough. Money was just money; she needed to quickly strengthen her own power and make money generate more money and power.
The most urgent task is to resolve Wu Ke's matter.
Song Qianyi contacted Xu Hai and asked him to check Wu Ke's house. Judging from how familiar Wu Ke was with the place today, her house probably wasn't very clean.
Two hours later, Xu Hai sent a WeChat message.
[XHZ: Sister Song, I found out. Wu's Winery really has a lot of problems.]
[XHZ: They sold counterfeit alcohol in February of this year, which indirectly led to a death. It was reported at the time, but the story was suppressed.]
[XHZ: Their company account also saw large, unexplained transfers to an overseas account.]
[Remembering Jiangnan: An overseas account?]
Song Qianyi thought of how some money laundering organizations used overseas accounts in her previous life, and hoped that she was overthinking it, otherwise the Wu family would be difficult to deal with.
[Remembering Jiangnan: Send that report to their rivals; I believe they would be happy to help.]
After arranging everything, Song Qianyi contacted Director Chen of the orphanage by phone.
"Aunt Chen, is everything alright in the yard?"
"Okay, all is well. A few days ago, a kind person anonymously donated money to the hospital."
Dean Chen was referring to Song Qianyi, who donated to the orphanage the day after receiving the cashback.
She dared not use her real name, fearing the dean would become suspicious.
"Take good care of yourself at school. If you encounter any difficulties, just tell Aunt Chen."
"Okay, then I'll come to visit you in the hospital in a while."
After chatting with Dean Chen for a while, Song Qianyi breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that the orphanage was safe.
Within an hour, a deluge of negative news about Wu's Winery appeared online.
During class, two men in hats suddenly came in and called Wu Ke outside.
"Wu Ke, we need your assistance in the investigation. Please come out."
After Wu Ke left, the class erupted in chaos.
"What do you think the class monitor did wrong?"
"Quick, quick, check Weibo! Something happened to the class monitor's family!"
"I shared it in the class group!"
"Holy crap! Someone died from drinking at the class monitor's house. I was planning to order wine from her for my birthday party this year, thank goodness I didn't."
After being questioned by the man in the hat, Wu Ke was called home.
On her way back, she already knew what had happened—it was about the fake liquor. But hadn't it been suppressed back then? Why was it coming back up again?
When she got home, her father had just hung up the phone and was looking at Wu Ke with a furious expression.
"Kneel down! Tell me, who have you offended!"
Wu Ke knelt down, completely bewildered. She hadn't done anything these past few days. Could it be Gu Didi? No, she had already returned the watch to her. Her family wouldn't target them for something like this.
"Dad, no! You have to believe me!" She dared not tell anyone about Gu Didi. As for Song Qianyi, there was no need to say anything.
"Really do not have?"
"Old Wu, don't you know your daughter? She's quite timid." Zhang Sufang, Wu's wife, winked at Wu Ke.
Wu Ke received a look from her mother, got up from the ground, and started massaging her father's shoulders.
"Dad, really."
Seeing that Wu Qi had calmed down, Zhang Sufang asked the question that concerned her most. "Old Wu, what did President Li say just now?"
"Mr. Li said that as long as I can handle it, I will take over the matter."
Wu Ke, listening from the side, was confused. What, Mr. Li? Wasn't it about the fake alcohol?
Seeing Wu Ke's confused look, Wu Qi decided to tell her everything, "Wu Ke, it's time for you to know the secrets of our family."
Wu Qi took Wu Ke to the study and showed her the account transactions between their family and President Li.
Wu Qi told Wu Ke that when his family first came to City A, the company faced great obstacles and could not develop at all. Later, he got in touch with Boss Li, who was working for a big shot at the time and had some illicit money. So his family had been helping Boss Li launder money secretly.
These past two days, Mr. Li was planning to let him take over other things, which is a good thing that can make money, but it will be affected by the fake liquor incident.
Wu Ke was stunned; she hadn't expected her father to be even more troublesome than she was.
"Got it? Don't think I don't know what you've been doing. Stay home and keep quiet for now, and go back to school after the fake alcohol scandal has died down."
Seeing Wu Ke nod, Wu Qi waved his hand and said, "Go out!"
