Chapter 970: Don't Try to Morally Blackmail Me
The Fan brothers, of course, wouldn't let it go so easily. They came to find Huang Erhe every day after that, which greatly bothered him.
As time went on, rumors and gossip naturally began to circulate.
The police came looking for him again, and two men came to his workplace every day wanting to see Huang Erhe. In addition, Fan Yingrong's affair was in the newspaper. There were quite a few people who knew about the previous relationship between Fan Yingrong and Huang Erhe. Some people with ulterior motives connected these things together.
The news spread like wildfire, and large organizations with many employees are particularly prone to spreading such gossip.
"Hey, did you hear? The ex-wife of Director Huang from the company's logistics department has been arrested, and I heard she's going to face legal trouble."
"What? Really?"
"Didn't you see the news? It was reported on TV a couple of days ago. I recognized the woman on TV as soon as I saw her. She's Minister Huang's ex-wife."
How did you come to know Minister Huang's ex-wife?
"Have you forgotten? I used to work in the same branch factory as Minister Huang. I've met his ex-wife."
"Oh right, I forgot about that."
"By the way, this kind of thing shouldn't have anything to do with Minister Huang, right?"
"Probably not, otherwise, would Minister Huang still be able to go to work every day as usual?"
"Who are those two men who keep coming to see him at the door?"
"Someone asked the gatekeeper, and it turns out they are Minister Huang's former brother-in-law and brother-in-law. It's obvious they came to see Minister Huang because of their sister."
"That's terrible, but what good would it do to ask Minister Huang for help?"
"That's right!"
"Can't you guys see that?"
"How could you? You know that?"
"Don't you know? Huang Xiaochuan, the richest man in Asia, is Minister Huang's younger brother. The amount of money his ex-wife swindled is nothing to them. There are clear provisions in the law that as long as there is active restitution and meritorious repentance, the sentence can be reduced. I guess they want Minister Huang to pay for it."
"No wonder I've been coming to see Minister Huang every day."
"Oh? Minister Huang's younger brother is Huang Xiaochuan?"
"Please help me, you don't even know this?"
"I really don't know, no one has ever told me about this."
"Minister Huang is usually low-key. If I hadn't heard about it from others, I wouldn't have known that Huang Xiaochuan was actually Minister Huang's younger brother."
"Wow, wow, impressive! They must be a wealthy family!"
Huang Erhe was annoyed. It wasn't good for his former brothers-in-law to keep blocking his door. After careful consideration, he invited the two men to his office.
To avoid any unnecessary trouble, he had prepared a voice recorder beforehand.
The brothers Fan Yingyong and Fan Yingwu were unfamiliar with Shanghai and the only person they knew was Huang Erhe. If this had happened in their hometown county, they were confident they could have made a big deal out of it. But here, the tricks they used in their small county were useless.
Therefore, they could only pin their hopes on Huang Erhe. Moreover, the Huang family could come up with 100 million yuan. They had already learned that as long as they actively made restitution, they could strive for a reduced sentence.
"Erhe, please help me out for the sake of your marriage with Xiaomei. Our Fan family will remember this favor." Fan Yingyong spoke up before even sitting down.
Huang Erhe frowned slightly, but didn't respond. Instead, he brewed two cups of tea and handed them to the Fan brothers.
"Brother, I understand how you feel. As I said, all I can do to help your sister is find a good lawyer. There's nothing else I can do."
Fan Yingyong pleaded, "Erhe, the police handling the case said that as long as we actively make restitution, my sister can get a lighter sentence." (Latest chapter: High-energy plot! Come to Cola Novels!)
"Refund? Where will the money come from?" Huang Erhe said this deliberately, knowing that the Fan brothers definitely wanted him to pay for it.
As expected, Fan Yingyong said, "If it were someone else, I wouldn't expect anything, but your family is different. This amount of money is nothing to your family. As the saying goes, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Doing this is also accumulating good karma for your family."
Huang Erhe was so angry he laughed. Over a hundred million! These two brothers have such big mouths. They don't even consider it a big deal. They're talking about this money so easily without you having to pay for it yourself.
So Huang Erhe cut off their hopes by saying the final word.
"Big brother, second brother, you know this is over a hundred million, not a million or ten million. I definitely can't come up with that much money. I know you're thinking my brother has it, but his money is his, not mine. As the saying goes, 'A tree grows tall and branches out, brothers grow up and divide the family fortune,' you know that, right? Why should I ask my brother for money?"
Huang Erhe spoke politely and respectfully, and the Fan brothers knew that their demands were indeed a bit excessive, but they had no other choice at this point.
If they weren't in positions of public office, they would definitely have put up banners in front of Huang Erhe's workplace to pressure him, but they didn't dare to do so because they were worried that if things got out of hand, their official positions would be affected.
Fan Yingwu glared at Huang Erhe with eyes blazing with fury: "So, according to you, you're planning to let my sister rot in jail?"
Huang Erhe retorted sharply, "I'm not a judge. As for how many years Fan Yingrong will be sentenced to, I don't know. Don't try to pin this on me. She's not a child. If she does something wrong, she has to bear the consequences. Besides, we've been divorced for so many years. It's not my place to clean up her mess."
Because the office door was open, the sound of the argument attracted the attention of everyone else in the office.
That's exactly the effect Huang Erhe wanted. He wasn't the one who was embarrassed, nor was he the one who did something wrong, so why hide it? Letting everyone know wouldn't be a bad thing.
The Fan brothers are just trying to force me to back down because of this. Well, let them see that their plan has backfired.
More than 100 million? They really dare to ask for it without even saying "borrow." They're implying they want our family to be the sucker. Bah!
Huang Erhe is really angry today. He keeps coming to block his workplace every day. Who can stand it?
Making a scene has its advantages; at least the unit leaders can get involved.
See, here it is.
"What's going on? What are you two doing here? This is our office space. If it's a family matter, please go outside. If it's not a family matter, then please leave."
After the man finished speaking, several security guards walked up to the Fan brothers. It looked like they would forcibly drag them out if they didn't leave.
The Fan brothers realized that the people in the other company were on the side of the Huang family, so naturally they were not well-liked.
Fan Yingwu originally wanted to argue a bit more, but Fan Yingyong knew the principle of not fighting a losing battle. He couldn't cause trouble on someone else's turf, so he could only pull Fan Yingwu away. At this time, the people who had been blocking the door and corridor to watch the commotion made way so that the two brothers could leave.
After the Fan brothers left, the man who had spoken earlier dispersed the onlookers.
"Alright, alright, hurry back to your offices. Don't you all have anything to do?"
Upon hearing this, everyone quickly dispersed.
Huang Erhe said gratefully, "Mr. Mo, thank you so much!"
President Mo spoke earnestly, patting Huang Erhe on the shoulder: "Work hard and we all know it has nothing to do with you. Just remember that your company is your strong support."
After saying that, he left Huang Erhe's office.
Huang Erhe escorted him all the way to the door of his office.
