Chapter 527 - 527 Meiya
Ye Mei hesitated for a few seconds before suddenly throwing herself in front of Hao Jian, crying and wailing, "Chairman, you must redress my husband's injustice. Otherwise, he won't rest in peace even in death!"
Hao Jian quickly helped Ye Mei up and solemnly said, "Don't worry, Sister Ye. If your husband was indeed killed by Guo Bixi, I will definitely see justice done for you!"
"My husband was definitely killed by Guo Bixi. Before his death, he had already mentioned to me more than once that he had discovered Guo Bixi embezzling and had gathered enough criminal evidence to expose him. But right when he had all the evidence ready, he mysteriously committed suicide. Don't you think that's too much of a coincidence?" Ye Mei said. Although she wasn't well-educated, she knew what desperate people are capable of, like murder to silence someone.
Upon hearing this, Hao Jian's brow furrowed deeply, and he then asked, "By the way, what was the contract you just mentioned?"
"Guo Bixi has always wanted me to sign a contract stating that my husband committed suicide. He said that as long as I signed it, he would give me a substantial sum of compensation. But I refused because I know my husband didn't commit suicide. He wanted to use it to shut me up, and I'll never let him get his way!" Ye Mei said coldly, her expression resolute, without a hint of regret even though her refusal had cost her a stable life and led to her current destitute state.
Because she believed in "good will be rewarded with good, and evil with evil; it's only a matter of time," and finally, Heaven had not forsaken her, as Hao Jian appeared, she finally saw some hope!
After listening to her words, Hao Jian also came to respect this seemingly ordinary middle-aged woman. To seek justice for her husband, the hardship and toil she endured without complaint showed just how deeply she loved Qiu Shaohong.
"What do you think?" Chen Zhiyan asked for Hao Jian's opinion.
"I can't be sure it was Guo Bixi, but there's an eighty to ninety percent chance," Hao Jian replied. Indeed, Guo Bixi was the prime suspect.
It was very possible that Guo Bixi, having his embezzlement exposed, resorted to murder to silence the whistleblower!
Hao Jian handed Ye Mei the stack of money he had obtained from Guo Bixi, "Sister, please take this money for now!"
"No, no, I can't take your money," Ye Mei quickly shook her head. She was already extremely grateful for Hao Jian's help in seeking justice; she dared not accept his money.
"This money is what you deserve. Your husband worked so hard for our corporation for many years, only to end up losing his life because of our corporation. This is our compensation to you, but it's far from enough. Take this money for now, and after we have avenged your husband, I will compensate you in full," Hao Jian insisted.
Ye Mei still wanted to decline, but Chen Zhiyan came over to persuade her, "Sister Ye, now is not the time to be proud. Auntie is sick; if we don't get her to a doctor soon, things could get worse. And isn't Meiya also of age to attend kindergarten? You should take this money, buy her some clothes, dress her up, and find her a good kindergarten. We can't delay matters concerning children and the elderly."
"But…" Ye Mei still felt embarrassed to accept the money.
"There's no 'but' about it. This guy is so rich, this bit of money is nothing to him!" Chen Zhiyan spoke unceremoniously.
When Hao Jian heard this, he almost wanted to cry. What do you mean 'it's nothing'? It's easy for you to say when you're not the one paying. All my pocket money for a month amounts to just a thousand, and just when I manage to earn some extra cash, I have to give it all away. How is that nothing?
But, swallowing his frustration, Hao Jian had to force a smile on his face, "Right, right, I can earn this little amount of money back just by taking a nap, ha ha... ha ha ha ha..."
"Alright, then." Finally, Ye Mei accepted the money from Hao Jian.
"By the way, Sister Ye, how about Meiya? I miss her!" Chen Zhiyan really liked Ye Mei's daughter, the little girl named Meiya. Though only six years old, she was very sensible, which made her especially endearing.
"That girl probably ran off to town again," Ye Mei replied, also rather helplessly, "That little girl insists on picking up trash to sell and contribute to the household income. I can't stop her, and today she slipped away when I wasn't watching."
"Then let's hurry and go find her. We'll take your mother-in-law, too. Tonight we're going to stay in a hotel. This place is no fit for people to live in," Hao Jian said. Before, he might have let it slide, but now that he was here, he was determined to change their situation and no longer let Ye Mei and her family suffer.
Immediately, Hao Jian and company drove into town to look for Meiya. Ye Mei knew where her daughter usually hung around, so they started their
Just then, a stern voice rang out.
