Chapter 482 - 444 Wicked People Have Their Own Nemesis_2

The reporter was sharp and quickly picked up on the key point of the conversation: “Director Chen, could you please explain what you mean by ‘being deceived’? Does this case have hidden aspects? Or are you suggesting that Deputy District Chief Li Yaozu was really caught in the act of soliciting a prostitute?”

“This comrade journalist, in respect of Li Yaozu’s status, we intended to keep this case confidential. But since you’ve asked, I will respond.” Chen Le looked at Huang Qiue indifferently, a cold smile playing on his lips. You think you can turn black into white. Little do you know, I’ve made thorough preparations for this.”

Then, Chen Le solemnly said, “On August 26th, our bureau conducted surprise inspections of all hotels in the city. During the inspection at Jinding Hotel, Li Yaozu attempted to evade our law enforcement officers but accidentally fell from the exterior wall of the fourth floor. He died instantly due to a severe head injury…”

Before Chen Le could finish, Huang Qiue struggled to interject: “Chen Le, you’re slandering him. My husband was always honest and diligent in his work. He had a good reputation in the Liangjiang District. You’re framing him. I have evidence and witnesses to prove that my husband was not on the fourth floor.”

Huang Qiue scoffed. She was convinced that Chen Le and his team had no defence against her accusations. Guo Yulong had already arranged for the masseuse who was with Li Yaozu at the time to leave Liangxi and Jiangbei. As for those clothes, she could easily accuse Chen Le and his team of intentionally removing them. She thought it would be difficult to find any eyewitnesses. Just as it’s hard for a fair official to settle a family dispute, she believed she could frame the police and get Chen Le demoted or fired.

Huang Qiue expected Jinding to pay the fine graciously and believed Chen Le didn’t suspect anything given how calmly she had identified and cremated Li Yaozu. However, she had misjudged Chen Le. He was well-prepared for all this.

Every pitiful person has something hateful about them. I was initially prepared to save Li Yaozu some face, but if this is how it’s going to be, then I’m not going to show any mercy.”

Chen Le snapped back at her: “You need to back up your words with evidence. An impartial result will determine how your husband died.”

Chen Le continued: “Since this is the case, I’m going to briefly announce the preliminary results of the media interviews.”

Seeing Chen Le’s confidence, Huang Qiue felt an inexplicable fear. Chen Le then announced: “During our surprise inspection, the city television station sent three reporting teams to cover the situation. From this, everyone can judge the authenticity of the event. Also, although Li Yaozu’s clothes left at the scene have been collected, we took photos of the scene and run tests on the traces left on the window. Li Yaozu was confirmed through fingerprint matching. We believe these pieces of evidence are sufficient to explain the situation.”

Huang Qiue lost all her confidence. She had not expected Chen Le to be prepared. She realized that creating further fuss was meaningless, and she would only become a laughing stock. She might even reach a point where she can’t face anyone.

Huang Qiue left in disappointment. The reporters understood what happened, but Chen Le didn’t stop there. Since everything was out in the open, Chen Le held a press conference in the afternoon. He presented the fingerprint identification certificate and the statement of the masseuse involved, as well as a few eyewitness testimonies. At this point, everything was out in daylight.

Meanwhile, Huang Qiue, along with her two brothers, went angrily to Jinding Hotel. The moment she stepped in, she lashed out at a receptionist: “Where is Boss Guo? I’m looking for Guo Yulong.”

The situation at the city police bureau had already reached Guo Yulong. He gave Huang Qiue 100,000 yuan to stir up trouble to help Li Guohua. The agreement was to give another 500,000 yuan once the task was accomplished. Since Huang Qiue failed, there was no need for him to be polite now.

Guo Yulong had arranged not to see Huang Qiue. The hotel manager stepped up: “Ms. Huang, Boss Guo has advised that we should put an end to this matter. There’s no need for any further involvement.”

On hearing these words, Huang Qiue lost her temper: “What? Guo Yulong dares to play me? He dares to offend the Li family? Does he have a death wish?”

“Ms. Huang, please watch your language. I don’t know what you’re talking about. What Li family? You’re just a widow. Do you still count as part of the Li family?” The hotel manager was given the green light by Guo Yulong to talk back.

Then he signaled the security: “Guards, get these three people out of here. What are you people doing, letting all sorts of riffraff in? This is a five-star hotel, not a charity house. If you allowed them in again, you might as well quit your jobs.”

The security were upset about being scolded and they were not in a good mood. When Huang Qiue attempted to rush in, they easily pushed her to the ground. Their patience was running thin, and they were about to turn violent.

Without the backing of Li Yaozu, Huang Qiue’s family lost their influence and were no longer aggressive.

“No, I can’t let it go like this. If Guo Yulong refuses to see me and dares to mess with me, I’m going to see Li Guohua. If I am provoked, I might as well break off all ties.” At that moment, Huang Qiue was completely infuriated. (
