Before leaving, he reminded his secretary repeatedly that no one was allowed to disturb the CEO's wife.
Not only that, he even dialed off the office phone.
It was just that Zimo had forgotten one thing, that is, that it was Xiao Jie's phone call.
Not long after Zimo left, the phone Xiao Jie left beside her pillow rang.
The sleepy Xiao Jie pressed the call button without looking at the phone.
"She Xiao Jie, have you made up your mind? Or do you want to go to prison? "
Although her voice was processed, Xiao Jie knew it was definitely Shu Lei.
"Shu Lei, what exactly do you want?"
Little Jie shouted uncontrollably into the phone. These days, it was Shu Lei's devilish voice that was circling in her mind, making her unable to sleep at night.
"It looks like you really do love your son, Mo. How about this, spend all the money you have, as long as you take out 50 million, I'll pretend that I don't know anything."
On the other end of the phone, Shu Lei said loudly.
"Shu Lei, this is extortion, I'm going to call the police."
Little Jie said angrily.
Since you have made this call, I'm not afraid of you calling the police. I forgot to tell you, I still have proof that you are selling to buy children. She Xiaojie, I did not expect you to do such a crazy thing.
"Shu Lei, you're lying, it's not like what you said at all."
Once Shu Lei said that, Xiao Jie understood what she meant and was so angry that her chest hurt.
She hung up and said she had three days to think about it.
Hearing the ringing of the phone, Xiao Jie cried.
She knew that Shu Lei was referring to those children from before. She didn't buy or sell children at all.
Even though the house had sold for five million, she had given it to the children, leaving only one hundred thousand for herself.
Is a hundred thousand also a crime?
The eight children from back then should have all gone to university. Even if they were young, they should be at least ten years old. Could it be that they would sue her?
Xiao Jie trembled, could good people really not do that?
Of the eight children, she had helped them find a family, and each family had given her one hundred thousand dollars. The other children had each saved five hundred thousand dollars, which was managed by the lawyer, and when they were ten years old, they would be able to use it.
Little Jie's mind rumbled. After moving to another place a few times, she didn't know where to find that document from back then.
Originally, she wanted to find Zimo to send her home, she wanted to go back and find the documents, but she found out that Zimo wasn't here.
Regardless, Xiao Jie had to take a taxi home, rummaged through the cabinets, and finally found it.
Zimo first called the number above, but the call had already changed hands.
Helpless, Xiao Jie could only follow the address given and find the law firm.
But only after that did he realize that it was no longer there.
"It's been five years. Can you find those kids?"
Sitting on the side of the road, Xiao Jie was lost in thought.
When the children had given it to them, she had left behind their addresses. Although they were still there, she had panicked a little.
Xiao Jie was about to look for the kids at the address when Zimo called.
"Wife, where are you? Why did you leave alone? "
Zi Mo, who had returned from Shu Zhenhui's place, hurriedly made a call when he saw that Xiao Jie was not around.
"Hubby, I... I can't find the law firm. "
Xiao Jie's tears, which had been holding in her tears for a long time, finally started to flow.
"A law firm? Wife, why are you looking for a law firm? "
Zimo's heart thumped, thinking that Jie was going to get a divorce.
"Hubby, I'm at Spring Breeze Road, can you come over?"
Xiao Jie's hand was trembling as she held the phone. She needed to find someone who understood the law to advise her.
"Wife, what's wrong with you? Why did you come all the way here alone? "
Zimo looked at the surroundings and asked Xiao Jie in confusion.
"Hubby, do you still remember those eight children adopted by Grandma Yu?"
After getting on the car, Xiao Jie told Zimo the whole story.
"Wife, how could you be so naive? Adoption is adoption, how can you pay them back?"
Zimo was truly speechless. This kind of thing, if the person involved did not agree to it, or if he could not find a lawyer, it would be hard to explain himself.
However, Shu Lei should just be a threat. She had no relationship with those children and didn't know them. She wouldn't go through so much trouble.
"Has Shu Lei been living a miserable life?"
Fifty million, she was really bold, but it also proved that she was in need of money right now.
"On the surface, it seems like that's not the case. Shu Lei and Wen Yi Fei are soon going to get married. Although Wen Yi Fei didn't get the shares of the Star King, he has quite a bit of wealth."
Zimo frowned, he had never paid much attention to them, especially after they each went to jail.
Now, it seemed, it was necessary to know more.
"Hubby, I feel like she's at the end of her road, can she …"
Xiao Jie found it hard to talk about Zimo, 50 million was not a small amount, and it was Zimo worked hard to earn that much money, so she had no right to say anything about it.
"If she can really turn the tables on us and help us, then I will naturally help her. The problem is that she has become stronger, so we can't let her go."
Zimo knows what Xiao Jie wants to say, this is not a matter of money.
Shu Lei was also his younger sister. If she could correct her mistakes, he naturally wouldn't be reluctant to part with his money.
"But, I'm afraid she …"
"Leave this matter to me. I will find this lawyer, you don't have to worry."
Zimo already has a plan, the key is that lawyer, as long as he can find the person first.
However, just as Zimo was about to investigate this matter, Xiao Jie received a summons from the court.
It turned out that the Public Prosecutor's Office had already set up a task force after receiving the anonymous report.
At this moment, the entire country was heavily abducting and trafficking in women and children.
When Xiao Jie was taken away by the police, Zimo got angry.
"You'd better have enough evidence, or I'll sue you."
"Mr. Shu, we are only bringing Miss He to understand the situation, we have no other intentions."
At the same time as the Public Prosecutor's Office, Chou Zimo gave a formal smile.
"Understand that you can talk to our lawyers. It's against the law for you to arrest someone without finding out the truth."
While Zimo was speaking, he had already ordered his secretary to call the lawyer.
These days the lawyer was looking for the eight children.
"Mister Shu, you don't need to be angry. If there's really nothing else, we'll send Miss He back as soon as possible."
The people from the Public Prosecutor's Office said that and took Xiao Jie away.
Xiao Jie didn't say anything, she didn't want Zimo to worry.
This matter was indeed not handled well in the beginning, but in her heart, she was magnanimous and there was nothing to be afraid of.
Xiao Jie was taken aback when she arrived at the police station. Out of the eight children from that year, five were there. However, they looked at her with a strange, even hateful gaze.
"Sis Jie."
The one who called her was Xiao Yu, the girl that was very close to her.
"Xiao Yu, you've grown up. How have you been these past few years?"
Xiao Jie asked gently. Although they had been separated for so many years, they still had feelings for each other.
"Mm, where's Sister Jie?"
"Xiao Yu, don't be so stupid. If she took so much money, wouldn't she live a good life?"
The boy called Xiao Hao looked at Xiao Jie hatefully.
"Little Hao, we've lived together for so many years, can you even say something like that?"
Xiao Jie looked at the boy and felt sad.
Even though Granny Yu had told her to take care of them back then, she didn't have any obligation towards them. They were neither family nor friends, and she had already arranged for them to be together without a single word of thanks.
"It's exactly because we've lived together for so many years that I feel sad. She Xiaojie, how much did you pay for the house? "What about the money?"
The boy stared at her.
"That's right. I bought five million yuan, but I didn't leave any money for you guys."
Little Jie was pained.
"Do you think we would believe you? "They said that you could only get 20,000, and they chased me out after I went to high school."
the boy said bitterly.
"Sir, please don't slander me. Miss He spent all her money on you, so she didn't leave a single cent for you."
The lawyer looked at the few ingrate in front of him and became impatient.
"Who do you think you are? Even if the house was sold for 5 million, that 5 million is enough to raise the rest of us. Why would she send us away?" In the end, wasn't it because of greed for the money? "
A girl stood behind Xiao Hao and said.
"Then I would like to ask you, why should she raise you? "Legally speaking, she has no mission obligation to any of you. Even if that five million Miss He left herself, none of you would have the right to talk about her."
The lawyer glanced at the children and felt a little regretful. The children were still young, and could not stand the provocation of others, yet they had done such a thing.
"But, she … She will... "
"She just gave you guys to families in need, just to have you live a normal family life, is that wrong? And on what grounds are you prosecuting her? "
Looking at her 'younger brothers' and 'younger sisters' who had lived together for so many years, Xiao Jie's heart felt like it was being pierced by knives.
She had given up her studies for them, risking her life to earn money for them. She hadn't expected that they would treat her like this in the end.
"Everyone, can you calm down a bit? We will check everything out, and all eight children have been contacted. Aside from one child who was killed, we have found everyone else."
The police officer saw the excitement in the crowd and stepped forward to greet them.
Today, not only a few children, but also their parents.
"Who's in trouble?"
Xiao Jie's heart trembled when she heard that something had happened to a child. The children were all healthy, so how could something have happened to them?
"That little friend used to be called Liu Hanzhong, and then he was called Li Yu. A year ago, he sacrificed himself in the name of justice."
The police officer said as he took out the information.
After that, the police separated the children from Xiao Jie and questioned them separately, including of course the families who adopted the children.
Out of the eight families, only two of them admitted that they had received one hundred thousand yuan. The rest of them either said that they had not, or that they had given money to Xiao Jie.
Although Xiao Jie had an agreement with a lawyer from the past, the police investigation revealed that the 4 million was taken out of the account 2 years ago.
"Impossible. The contract says that the children must be 18 years old before they can be taken out. This is impossible …"
Xiao Jie could not accept that, 4 million, that was what she left for the children, especially Xiao Hao, he had already reached 18 years old two years ago, did she not receive that amount?
"Miss He, I am sorry. The bank has confirmed that the money has indeed been withdrawn. However, it has been too long. There is no longer a videotape of the time."
The police regretted that even if they had this agreement, if there was no money in the account, then the agreement would be useless.
"You're such a black-hearted woman. You threw your child at us and took four million for yourself. Even your conscience was eaten by a dog."
One of the parents pointed at Xiao Jie and scolded.
"I didn't. I didn't take that money. At that time, there were five million yuan. Your family gave me a hundred thousand yuan. Some of it was for the rent and expenses after moving to a new house. I didn't take any money."
Xiao Jie finally cried out.
"Woman, you still say no, where is the money? "You should at least give it to me."
The adoptive parents came forward to question Xiao Jie.
"I don't know. At that time, things were settled so I didn't ask any further. I really don't know …"
"Stupid woman, just say it out yourself. Don't even talk about 4 million, just pay 2 million."
The woman walked up to Xiao Jie and pushed her away, looking angry.
"I didn't, I really didn't …"
The young mistress was a little out of her mind. Who had taken away all that money?
The lawyer?
"I don't think you'll cry until you see the coffin. I'll only admit it if the policemen torture you."
As the ignorant woman spoke, she was about to hit Little Jie. One of them took action, while the others followed. Even the children had surrounded them.
"Stop, all of you stop."
