Chapter 183, Being bitten back
Sheng Yueqing and He Yushen frowned when they saw her expression was bad.
"Mom, what happened?"
Mrs. Sheng took a deep breath, "Your father and others seem to have been called to investigate."
And it’s not just Mr. Sheng.
But the entire Sheng family.
In the past, when something happened to the Sheng family, Mr. Sheng was usually called in to investigate alone.
Even if they investigate other members of the Sheng family, they will do so in batches.
We would never call so many people to investigate at once.
Maybe something big happened.
This posture is like being uprooted by the opponent.
The Hu family was like this before.
First, something happened to Mr. Hu, and all the children of the Hu family who were in the workplace were investigated. Then there were reports of the Hu family's corruption and bribery.
Further investigation revealed that after half of the evidence was conclusive, the Hu family members were all removed.
Although he has not been arrested yet, he is ordered to stay at home and not leave Kyoto.
Now the Hu family is about to collapse.
Unexpectedly, the Sheng family would also be suddenly investigated.
Mrs. Sheng felt uneasy.
"It stands to reason that the Sheng family would never engage in corruption or bribery. Why were they investigated?"
The descendants of the Sheng family have been strictly taught by Mr. Sheng since they entered the work unit and are not allowed to do anything illegal or criminal.
The children of the Sheng family all respected him, so naturally they didn't dare to disobey him.
It had been going smoothly for so many years, and there were signs of improvement, so why did something suddenly happen?
Now the daughters-in-law of the Sheng family are worried to death.
But he couldn't make any noise.
Until things come to light, no one can get into trouble.
Sheng Yueqing wondered, "Could it be related to Old Man Sheng from the countryside?"
But what does this matter have to do with the Sheng family?
She was a victim, and the Sheng family was even more a victim. Why did she use this incident to make trouble?
Mrs. Sheng frowned, "It's probably the Cheng family's handiwork."
The Cheng family has always regarded the Sheng family as their rival. The two factions were originally at odds with each other, but were only peaceful on the surface.
This time the Sheng family is under investigation, it may be due to the Cheng family's handiwork.
At the moment they had nowhere to inquire and could not inquire.
I'm afraid that the Cheng family will use it as a topic.
Sheng Yueqing was exposed to the helplessness of such a high-status family for the first time.
The worst thing I've seen in the past is some sneaky businessmen, but I can deal with it.
There are ways to deal with it.
But facing this kind of competition between superiors, she and He Yushen were both powerless and had no room for competition.
He Yushen felt the same way.
For the first time, I felt so insignificant and had no ability to help my father-in-law.
Mrs. Sheng asked them not to blame themselves, "Sitting high brings high power and status, but it also brings great risks."
"Your father has been in office for many years, I believe he has a way to deal with it."
"Besides, your brother is also inside, I believe they will be fine."
These words are based on trust in her husband and belief in Mr. Sheng’s ability.
"Mom, didn't dad and brother convey anything to you before?"
It's impossible not to reveal any signs, right?
Mrs. Sheng shook her head, "He never tells me about work."
Firstly, he was afraid that she would worry, and secondly, he didn't want to implicate her.
So she didn't know anything about Mr. Sheng's work.
Sheng Yueqing wanted to ask, but Mrs. Sheng wouldn't let her.
"Don't go, ask too many questions and make mistakes. Just wait at home."
It’s Chinese New Year, I believe the authorities won’t make it so ugly.
After all, peace must be maintained without conclusive evidence.
Sure enough, Sheng Jingheng came back the next day.
When he came back, his expression was as usual. When the old lady saw him coming back, she called him to eat.
Sheng Jingheng obeyed and went. Mrs. Sheng served him some meat and asked him, "Why didn't your father come back?"
Sheng Jingheng's expression remained as usual, "He hasn't come back from going south yet, and the trains have stopped running."
Mrs. Sheng muttered, "Really, I didn't know I would come back early to celebrate the New Year."
With that said, she went to play with her New Year's gifts again, preparing to take them back to Sheng Yueqing and the others.
Seeing that the old lady had no suspicion, Sheng Yueqing sat over.
"Brother?"
Sheng Jingheng motioned her not to ask, and when they reached the second floor, Sheng Yueqing asked him in a low voice, "What's going on? Where's dad?"
Sheng Jingheng looked down from the window, made sure there was no one around, and then whispered, "Under investigation, it is related to the few people provided by Mr. Lu."
It turned out that Mr. Sheng had gone to check on those people who were related to Old Man Sheng in the countryside.
He actually bit him back and said that Mr. Sheng was also a villain.
He also said that Mr. Sheng planned the loss of the child.
This is clearly a false accusation.
Mr. Sheng suspected who they were cooperating with.
Sheng Jingheng suspected that it was the work of the Cheng family.
But there is no evidence right now.
Those people in the countryside insisted that it was Mr. Sheng who asked them to do something harmful.
Although the higher-ups don’t believe it, they still need to conduct routine investigations.
Unexpectedly, those few people told the truth and even implicated the entire Sheng family.
Because he was not a bloodline of the Sheng family, the superiors made an exception and let him come back.
Sheng Yueqing and He Yushen's eyes widened when they heard this.
"This is clearly a false accusation."
"How could Dad know those people?"
If he knew her, he would have found her long ago. How could he have left her out there for so many years?
Sheng Jingheng naturally believed in Mr. Sheng.
It's just that the old men insist that it was Mr. Sheng's idea. Mr. Sheng couldn't prove it himself, so he was left behind.
"I have to go to the countryside, and the Cheng family will also go. Someone may come and ask you to investigate."
"If the staff asks, tell everything you know."
"If you don't know, just say you don't know. Don't hesitate and don't lie."
Sheng Yueqing nodded, "I understand."
Sheng Jingheng left after eating.
Sure enough, someone came to ask Sheng Yueqing the next day.
The other party came over like a guest and asked Sheng Yueqing some questions as if chatting.
Sheng Yueqing answered truthfully.
For example, what she did in the countryside when she was a child, she said that she had to make a fire to cook every day and raise chickens and ducks
You still have to work in the fields and then go to the mountains to collect herbs.
As for Old Man Sheng, she actually didn't know much about it.
The old man sometimes goes to school part-time, sometimes he goes to the mountains to collect medicine, and his whereabouts are unpredictable.
But he comes home every day.
As a child, she actually didn't pay attention to where the old man went, but she could see him every dinner.
So no one in the village suspected that there was something wrong with the old man.
As for those people in the city, she didn't even know them.
After the staff asked, he smiled and reassured her, "Don't be nervous, we just came to see you. Your father was really depressed for a while after you were taken away."
After all, no one can be happy if their beloved is lost.
Mr. Sheng didn't want to do anything at that time and felt that life was boring.
It was his good brother who persuaded him, saying that only those who have a good career can find children, so he persisted.
Sheng Yueqing also said on behalf of her father, "My father is an honest man. It is impossible for him to do anything disgraceful to his leader or do bad things."
The staff did not refute, "We still believe in Lao Sheng's character."
But people insisted that there was something wrong with him, and it was naturally impossible to let him back while he was cleared of suspicion.
