Courtyard House: My Wife is Xu Huizhen

Page 605

Having an affair is a serious crime, and anyone caught in it will face at least 10 years in prison.

Right now, his life and death are in He Yuzhu's hands.

He had no choice but to shamelessly beg He Yuzhu to let him go.

Do you think I'm the only one here?

Upon hearing He Yuzhu's words, Director Gu tilted his head sharply and then saw another person enter the room.

The most striking thing was that white police uniform, which startled him. Why were there other people here?

If it were just He Yuzhu, everything could be discussed, and he had saved up quite a bit of money over the years. But with the police involved, everything would have to be handled strictly according to the law.

Bai Ling coughed and then said, "Tell them to put their clothes on."

After Bai Ling turned and left, He Yuzhu stepped back and let Director Gu put on his clothes.

"Can you go out?" Jiang Tingting finally asked.

"No, get up and put it on."

It's a joke, but you can't leave someone alone in a house when you're catching them in the act. They might just take a pair of scissors and commit suicide.

After all, this is the most shameful thing, and many people can't accept it and just slit their own throats.

He Yuzhu didn't want this to happen.

Helpless, Director Gu had no choice but to get up and put on his clothes. Jiang Tingting also found her own clothes and put them on.

The two were handcuffed and taken to the police station, where the others also arrested the people who had helped them.

Bai Ling asked, "Should we still arrest Yan Yingxue?"

"Of course, she's a crucial link."

Bai Ling didn't arrange for anyone to arrest Yan Yingxue earlier because she didn't have enough manpower, and she also needed to discuss it with He Yuzhu.

Since He Yuzhu said so, Bai Ling went out and arranged for two people to bring Yan Yingxue over.

Then they asked, "How do you plan to handle this case?"

If we were to directly report the case to higher authorities, it would be an extremely ugly situation.

In particular, it also involves He Yuzhu's past affairs with women.

Bai Ling didn't want to make a big fuss, otherwise the past might be brought up again.

After all, she was also He Yuzhu's woman, and she should also think about He Yuzhu.

"This matter needs to be viewed from two perspectives. All these 'small fry' who helped should be detained and fined."

Bai Ling nodded: "That's easy. What about Jiang Tingting and Director Gu?"

"Of course, they'll send him in on charges of adultery."

Having illicit sexual relations is a real crime.

Especially since both of them had families, before liberation, they would have been drowned in pig cages and killed.

After discussing it for a while, the two went to take Jiang Tingting's statement.

Once in the interrogation room, Jiang Tingting kept crying. After a few words of intimidation, she told him how Director Gu had threatened her.

Faced with harassment from her boss, she had no choice but to submit and follow Director Gu in order to keep her job.

"Stop talking nonsense and tell me everything."

Jiang Tingting then honestly confessed how the two of them had become lovers.

Then, during the interrogation of Director Gu, he confessed to the affair between the two of them. He knew what he should and shouldn't say, and took all the responsibility upon himself.

Everyone says the idea came from him, and that no one else instructed him; they even think someone can protect him.

After interrogating Director Gu, Yan Yingxue was interrogated last.

Her face had long since turned deathly pale, devoid of any color.

However, she looked rather pitiful, which gave her a unique kind of beauty.

Seeing He Yuzhu interrogating her, she felt even more embarrassed and covered her face, crying.

"Director Gu and Jiang Tingting have both given their accounts. Tell me what happened and what role you played in it."

"I..."

Yan Yingxue hesitated before speaking, and instead glanced at He Yuzhu first.

"Speak up and confess. If you refuse to confess, you'll have to go to jail."

"I...I confess, I was forced into it, during the onboarding process..."

Yan Yingxue began to confess that he was also threatened by Jiang Tingting and tempted with the promise of a cadre position.

Furthermore, they assured that this matter would absolutely not be made public or become a big deal; they would only need to find some leverage over He Yuzhu.

But things didn't turn out as perfectly as they imagined; they spiraled out of control from the very beginning.

In the end, it still turned out like this.

Finally, Yan Yingxue asked, "Officer, will I go to jail?"

"Detain him first, but we'll see how the higher-ups decide."

"what!"

Yan Yingxue was so frightened that she collapsed into her chair.

Back in her office, Bai Ling frowned and said, "This Director Gu is quite tight-lipped; he only said it was all his idea."

"It's perfectly normal. Only a fool would implicate their superiors."

The struggle at the vehicle factory is a long-term process, and it's not something that can be resolved simply by bringing down a few people.

If they run into problems, other people will be brought in from above.

The main reason is that Secretary Wang is too young to be the factory director, and such a large factory is definitely not run by one person alone.

He Yuzhu had little interest in power struggles; he was waiting for the era after 66.

As long as the vehicle factory's normal development is ensured and Secretary Wang has a certain say, then we can live up to the expectations of the top leader.

Since they actually dared to lay a hand on me this time, I'll chop off all their claws.

"Right now, the only thing we can do is send Director Gu and Jiang Tingting to jail."

Bai Ling asked with some concern, "Working in this factory is too dangerous. You escaped this time, but who knows what traps await you next time? Why don't you quit your job?"

"Are you expecting me to starve?"

"You can come and work for our company."

"The vehicle factory still needs me for now; they can't get the production line running properly without me."

The interrogation ended after midnight, and the two went home together. The next day, Bai Ling dragged her tired body to work.

I had just arrived at the office when I received a phone call.

"What? You want me to release that guy surnamed Gu?"

"Yes, let's not make a big deal out of this. He just heard some rumors and wanted to catch them in the act. It's not a big deal. Just let him go today..."

Bai Ling didn't reply immediately. After going through the matter in her mind, she realized where the problem lay.

The reason Bai Ling arrested Director Gu was not because he had ordered his subordinates to catch him in the act of adultery.

After all, regardless of whether He Yuzhu and Yan Yingxue had an affair, his arrangement was not wrong.

It was just a trap to lure He Yuzhu into it.

Whether He Yuzhu was fooled or not, at the time, Director Gu's entrapment tactics were not wrong.

However, the branch director made a mistake.

Bai Ling's reason for arresting people was not because they were setting a trap for He Yuzhu.

Instead, it was Director Gu who knowingly broke the law by seducing a female subordinate, and the two engaged in an illicit sexual relationship.

"Chief, you're interfering with the investigation!"

"It's all a misunderstanding. They were just doing their job. They heard someone report it and that's why they sent people to catch the adulterers."

"We haven't finished the interrogation yet. As for whether it's as you say, we still need to take your statements."

"Director Bai, are you not going to give me any face at all? This is just a simple matter, it doesn't escalate to the point of needing to arrest someone."

"I said that it's impossible to release the person for the time being. We need to wait until we finish taking their statements before we can talk about it."

"you..."

The man on the phone took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, and then offered a few more words of advice.

"I told you, we can't let them go." Bai Ling's tone was also very unfriendly, and she hung up the phone directly.

Hearing the busy tone on the phone, the branch chief was furious.

Since he was of a higher rank than Bai Ling, he originally thought that Bai Ling would give him face in this small matter, but he did not expect that she would not show any mercy at all.

Then he had no choice but to pick up the phone and call his old comrade-in-arms, Shen Feilong.
