Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 1038: Chapter 1038: Sending My Remaining Life Afar (32)

Chuzheng walked out of the old butler’s house, and the bodyguard behind her begrudgingly held that knife: ”Miss Song, where did you get the knife?”

Chuzheng glanced at the knife: ”I took it from the fruit stand downstairs.”

Bodyguard: ”...”

They suddenly remembered, when they came up earlier, Chuzheng had stood in front of the fruit stand for a while.

But they hadn’t expected she’d walk off with someone’s knife!

Even rich people do this kind of thing?!

The bodyguard found it a bit unimaginable.

Chuzheng spoke again: ”I’ll return it later.”

”...”

Haha.

Chuzheng walked downstairs.

The old butler said Yu Family’s Eldest Young Master could hold his liquor well, rarely getting drunk, but that day no one knew what happened, he got drunk.

On the way back to his room, someone was supposed to escort him, but Yu Family’s Eldest Young Master received a call and insisted on walking back by himself, and the servants didn’t dare stop him.

Soon after, Yu Family’s Eldest Young Master drowned.

Yu Jin was caught on the spot, Song Yanran accused him, and Yu Jin was identified as the culprit.

Later, Yu Jin’s mother committed suicide, proving his innocence, and Yu Jin was sent away.

The butler knows only this much.

Chuzheng couldn’t get more information, the only useful thing was Yu Family’s Eldest Young Master received a call before walking back by himself, otherwise he should have been escorted directly to his room.

As for Song Yanran...

Song Yanran was only a few years old at the time, she shouldn’t have known anything, just spoke without understanding the situation.

-

Golden Sunshine Club.

”Director Zhou, I’m relying on you.”

In the private room, a man nodded obsequiously to the man in the main seat, full of flattery.

Zhou Hai, slightly overweight, patted his obvious beer belly and generously promised: ”It’s a small matter, as long as the money’s in place, the project will be approved soon.”

The man burst into a cheerful grin upon hearing this: ”Rest assured, Director Zhou, I’ll handle it well. Come on, let me toast you.”

There weren’t many people in the private room, after several rounds of drinks, everyone was a bit drunk.

The man asked Zhou Hai again if he’d like to go have fun elsewhere.

Everyone knew what this other place was.

Zhou Hai waved his hand grandly: ”Let’s go!”

The group walked out of the private room, just opened the door, and saw the club’s security standing outside, blocking the exit.

”What are you doing? Are you blind, get out of the way!”

”Director Zhou, our President Song requests your presence.” The security remained unmoved.

”President Song?” Zhou Hai was slightly tipsy: ”Which President Song?”

”Hey, what are you doing, don’t touch me!!”

”You’ve gone too far!”

The security didn’t care about their protests and dragged Zhou Hai away.

Zhou Hai was thrown into a dimly lit room, barely able to see someone standing there.

He immediately pointed over, angrily shouting: ”What... what kind of person are you!? Which President Song? Is this how you invite people? I’ll tell you, this is illegal...”

Another voice interrupted Zhou Hai.

”Director Zhou, regarding what we spoke about last time, what have you decided...”

”Director Zhou, I’m relying on you.”

”It’s a small matter, as long as the money’s in place, the project will be approved soon..”

”Rest assured, Director Zhou, I’ll handle it well. Come on, let me toast you.”

Zhou Hai shivered, the tipsiness dissipated almost entirely.

If this thing gets out, everything he has now won’t be safe.

Bang——

The room’s light suddenly went bright, Zhou Hai found that what he pointed at was just a decorative stand.

”...”

Zhou Hai suddenly felt a chill down his back, he turned sharply.

A young girl sat on the sofa, youthful and beautiful, legs crossed, looking at him indifferently.

In front of her was a voice recorder, the earlier voices came from it.

”Who... who are you?” Zhou Hai felt uneasy: ”What do you want?”

”I have some questions for you, please sit.” Chuzheng raised her hand, signaling Zhou Hai to sit.

Zhou Hai glanced at the door.

The tall and burly security guards stood there.

Zhou Hai stared at the voice recorder on the table, feeling unsettled, not knowing what this person wanted, only able to sit down first.

Even if he grabbed the voice recorder, he wouldn’t be able to escape because of the security at the door.

”What do you want to ask?”

”Twelve years ago, Yu Family’s Eldest Young Master drowned...”

With Chuzheng’s words, Zhou Hai’s expression gradually turned grim.

Why would someone investigate something from twelve years ago?

Zhou Hai swallowed hard: ”He... he drowned himself, what does that have to do with me?”

”I heard that during that evening’s banquet, he was always with you?”

”Yes... that’s right.”

Sweat started seeping on Zhou Hai’s forehead.

”We were classmates, that evening we were together.” Zhou Hai said.

”After Yu Family’s Eldest Young Master died, you quickly entered government work, eventually sitting in this position...”

Zhou Hai’s heart raced, not knowing why Chuzheng suddenly changed the topic.

”My... my dad arranged it for me, what’s the problem?”

”Really? Isn’t your promotion a bit too quick, is your dad that capable?” Chuzheng’s voice was calm: ”I heard your dad is just a low-ranking official?”

Zhou Hai: ”I rose by my own abilities.”

”Need me to tell you what achievements you’ve made?”

”...”

Sweat poured down Zhou Hai’s face, his back completely drenched.

Chuzheng pushed a document over: ”Take a look.”

Zhou Hai opened the document, his hands trembling.

Chuzheng pressed down her wrist, speaking slowly: ”If this recording, along with these things, were sent up, what would you face?”

The document in Zhou Hai’s hand fell with a thud, his face pale as paper, hands shaking uncontrollably.

The evidence inside documented all his embezzlement over the years.

How did she find out?

Chuzheng didn’t rush him, sitting leisurely.

Zhou Hai gritted his teeth: ”Someone... someone asked me to get him drunk, I really didn’t know he’d die. This has nothing to do with me!!”

”Who?”

”I don’t know, a woman.” Zhou Hai said: ”You don’t know, back then he was really popular with women, I thought she wanted to do something with him, so I...”

”He was close to you, yet you’d set him up like this?” Sacrificing a friend?

”... I didn’t know he’d die!!” Zhou Hai suddenly roared: ”If I knew, why would I make him drink so much!! Besides, it was deemed an accidental drowning, has nothing to do with me.”

Zhou Hai panicked when he heard the news.

That was the young master of the Yu Family.

At this point, that woman contacted him again, telling him to say nothing, otherwise if Yu Family found out they teamed up to get him drunk leading to his fall into the water, they’d blame it on them.

So this matter must not be told to anyone.

She also promised him benefits.

At the time, due to Yu Family’s Eldest Young Master’s death, Zhou Hai was terrified, dared not say he had gotten him drunk.

Zhou Hai knew nothing about Yu Family’s Eldest Young Master’s whereabouts after he got drunk.

In the end, he only knew Yu Family’s Eldest Young Master was ruled as accidental death.
