With that, Gong Wan’er added, "It's about my father."
It was not a good idea for Gong Wan’er to say something like that over the phone.
"I'm fine now. I'll be right over."
Mo Zhaoyun said to Gong Wan’er as he stood up and left the office.
"Yes, I'll wait for you."
"Alright."
After hanging up, Gong Wan’er heaved a sigh of relief. Thinking about the things that Hao Jinzhi had said today, she felt extremely disgusted.
She absolutely did not believe that her father would do something like launder money. Even if it was tax evasion, she did not believe it. Although she did not know what difficulties her father had, she definitely did not believe in his character.
However...
If Dad hadn't done it, who would have forced him to tell the truth?
Furthermore, the evidence was so complete, and now a black book appeared?
Gong Wan’er only felt that there was a huge net encircling her, preventing her from escaping.
… ….
After Mo Zhaoyun entered the ward, he saw his daughter curled up on the sickbed. No one knew what she was thinking, her brows were knitted tightly, she had a worried look on her face.
"What's wrong?" Mo Zhaoyun walked over and hugged Gong Wan’er in his arms, then kissed the corner of her lips.
Gong Wan’er finally noticed Mo Zhaoyun and raised her head to look at him. She whispered to him: "Today, my stepmother came to find me. She said that she had my father's account book on washing black money and wanted me to buy it."
After pausing for a moment, Gong Wan’er continued, "I think that account book should not be real. Even if my father really did launder some black money, the account book would not be discovered by her, she alone …"
It was impossible for Gong Jiande not to know if he was reliable or not.
If there was really such an important thing, it definitely wouldn't have been left at home and would have been obtained by Hao Jinzhi afterwards.
Although Gong Wan’er did not say it explicitly, Mo Zhaoyun understood what she meant.
"You didn't ask her where she got the books?"
Gong Wan’er shook his head, his expression dejected: "At that time, I was too angry, I didn't even remember to ask about these."
"Moreover, she actually dared to ask for ten million from me. This is too infuriating. How could I have that much money? Furthermore, she had previously rolled up so much money and ran away, but now she didn't even have a place to stay? It was simply a bottomless pit! Forget about 10 million, even 100 million isn't enough for her to lose! "
Towards Hao Jinzhi's greed, Gong Wan’er was obviously very angry, and her eyes flashed with blazing fury.
Mo Zhaoyun saw that his wife was so angry that her face was flushed red, she immediately consoled: "Don't be angry, there are so many greedy people in this world, she is nothing."
After a slight pause, he thought for a moment before asking, "But since she dared to come and ask for ten million, the account book must be real."
"How is this possible!" Gong Wan’er subconsciously retorted, "My dad definitely wouldn't do such a thing."
As a successful businessman, although Mo Zhaoyun would never resort to such despicable means, it did not mean that he did not know.
Seeing the little girl's worried look, Mo Zhaoyun frowned slightly and reminded her: "Father-in-law may not do such a thing, but if there is evidence, even if Father-in-law did not do it, the charges will not escape!"
"I know." Gong Wan’er was depressed, she was not really stupid, how could she not understand this?
However...
"How amazing is that person that he could cause my dad to be so hesitant?" Gong Wan’er thought about his last visit to the prison and said dejectedly: "My dad actually didn't even want me anymore. Even if it's for my sake, he should tell the truth, why …"
Although Gong Wan’er would not feel that it was shameful to have a father in jail, it was completely different from what Gong Jiande normally displayed.
He would rather go to jail and let his children become infamous, than to reveal the identity of the person behind them.
Gong Wan’er's fetus had yet to settle, and he had suffered from a huge shock before this, hence his mood today was also terrible. Afraid that she would affect his child's health, Mo Zhaoyun began to change the topic without leaving a trace.
"Don't worry, the most important thing right now is the account book."
Being reminded of the most important matter, Gong Wan’er immediately said, "That's right, this is not convenient for me. Go and check if the account book is real or fake, and don't give me the ten million or so, how much face do you need to have to open your mouth like that!"
Mo Zhaoyun slightly nodded, leaned over and kissed Gong Wan’er on the cheek, then softly replied: "I will take care of this, don't worry."
"Yes."
… ….
After Gong Wan’er fell asleep, Mo Zhaoyun quietly left the ward, took out his phone and called Mo Zhi. He explained the entire situation, and instructed him: "You handle this matter, bring the account book back."
Then, he thought of the ten million yuan incident and his eyes darkened. "After confirming it's true and false, give her a sum of money. There's no need to spend too much."
Ten million wasn't a lot for Mo Zhaoyun, but Hao Jinzhi, this woman, was not worth it for her to spend ten million. Especially this old woman, who not only made his woman suffer, she actually dared to threaten his woman today.
If she was not given a chance to see, the old lady would probably think that Mo Zhaoyun was a sick cat!
"When I am pregnant, her appearance will seriously affect my mood. I hope that she won't appear in front of me again in the future. It will affect her as well!"
"Alright, I understand. I'll go deal with it immediately."
"Right."
After Mo Zhi hung up the phone, he went to find Hao Jinzhi's address. In less than half an hour, he found out that she was currently living in a hotel and even owed a room.
Recalling the account book that Mo Zhaoyun mentioned, Mo Zhi frowned slightly. Could it be that Hao Jinzhi had left such an important thing in the hotel room?
Thinking of that, Mo Zhi's face turned ugly, he also started to doubt the authenticity of the account book, thinking to quickly settle the matter, he did not dawdle any longer, and drove away from the company.
After arriving at the hotel, Mo Zhi did not pass the reception and directly went to Hao Jinzhi's room.
After pressing the doorbell, a voice could be heard from behind the door: "Who is it?"
Mo Zhi's expression was cold and indifferent, but he still replied very politely: "Hello, I'm here on behalf of Mr. Mo and Mrs. Mo to look for you."
There was no sound from inside the door, so the door was quickly opened. Hao Jinzhi had probably just taken a bath, her hair was still slightly wet, and wearing the hotel robe, she leaned on the door flirtatiously. She looked up and down at Mo Zhi, then smiled: "You're really fast, I left earlier, and you followed me."
Mo Zhi remained indifferent and did not want to bother with such a boring topic.
When Hao Jinzhi saw that Mo Zhi looked like a wooden block, she felt bored and coldly snorted. She released the door handle and turned to walk in.
Mo Zhi entered the room smoothly and closed the door. He vigilantly glanced around, then walked to the living room's sofa and sat down. He went straight to the point: "I don't know where the account book that Miss Hao mentioned is.
Hao Jinzhi never thought that Mo Zhi would be so decisive and boring, but she knew that this person was most likely Mo Zhaoyun's assistant, and would not refute his request to look at the account book, since he would never pay her back.
"Wait a moment, I'll go get the account book for you."
Hao Jinzhi stood up and went into her bedroom. Not long later, she came out with an account book and handed it to Mo Zhi: "Take a look, this is it."
After Mo Zhi received the account book from Hao Jinzhi's hands, he opened it to look, but after taking a glance, he frowned, but did not say anything, and continued to read.
It was a pity that Mo Zhi's brows did not loosen for even a moment after he finished reading it.
"Miss Hao." Mo Zhi's expression was stern, his sharp eyes looked at Hao Jinzhi, and asked: "Are these really account books?"
When Hao Jinzhi heard him ask that, his eyes flashed, but he calmly refuted: "Of course it's true. Could it be that I am the one who forged it?"
"Miss Hao is dishonest." Mo Zhi laughed coldly as he held onto the account book: "This account book is at most just a copy. Miss Hao, it's best if you call out the original copy."
Since Mo Zhi could become Mo Zhaoyun's assistant, how could his ability be normal?
"What original copy? I don't know, I only have this one. Do you want it or not?" Hao Jinzhi did not expect this person to see through her with just a glance. She was extremely nervous, but she did not admit it within the tastiness.
Mo Zhi was a little angry, and said coldly: "Since Miss Hao is not willing to cooperate, then forget it."
With that, Mo Zhi got up to leave.
Hao Jinzhi was stunned, she never thought that Mo Zhi's character was so straightforward, saying wind is rain, if there was a single word, he would turn and leave.
Just as Mo Zhi was about to leave the room, Hao Jinzhi regained her senses and hurriedly called out, "Wait!"
Mo Zhi stopped in his tracks, turned around and looked at Hao Jinzhi with a calm gaze, which made her feel extremely guilty.
However, when he thought about the ten million that he was about to receive, boundless confidence surfaced in Hao Jinzhi's heart, "I don't know what original you are talking about, it was this the moment the account book was in my hands, and it has never been changed."
Mo Zhi looked at Hao Jinzhi expressionlessly and asked rationally: "Then Miss Hao, can you tell me who would put away the original account book and make a copy of it?"
Hao Jinzhi choked and unhappily snorted, "If you ask me, how would I know?"
Mo Zhi was very happy about Hao Jinzhi's refusal. He directly said without holding back: "Could it be that Miss Hao has hidden the original book and used a copy to exchange for money. She intends to use the original book to exchange for more money?"
"Nonsense!" Hao Jinzhi was furious, she stared at Mo Zhi and cursed: "If you don't want the account, then quickly scram, I don't have the time to bullshit with you!"
Although Hao Jinzhi's expression was stern, a trace of guilt flashed past her eyes.
Mo Zhi kept staring at Hao Jinzhi, and naturally saw her expression clearly, and made a plan in his heart, afraid that the original was actually in Hao Jinzhi's hands.
"Since Miss Hao thinks that she can sell this account book, why not take a look? Besides Mister Mo, who else would dare to accept this account book!" Mo Zhi immediately warned: "I believe that Miss Hao is not very clear about Mister Mo's temper, but it doesn't matter. From now on, if Miss Hao is able to leave this room, then Mister Mo will not be taking this account."
Mo Zhi's blatant threat made Hao Jinzhi's face extremely ugly. Gritting his teeth, he stared at Mo Zhi, but he was extremely afraid in his heart.
Even if she had never interacted with Mo Zhaoyun before, she knew that this person was not easy to deal with.
In the past, it was fine if he didn't know, but now that he did, he was afraid that because of the Mo Clan's reputation, he definitely wouldn't let this account book leak out.
Thinking about it, Hao Jinzhi regretted her decision to keep the money in her hands. If she had known earlier, she would not have ridden on the tiger's back and refused to back down.
