Volume 1 Chapter 4 Some Information Is Confidential (2/2)
Han Changhong answered the call, ”We were just talking about you, Zhao Jie! Did you find anything?”
Inspector Zhao Jie directly went to business.” My team has been investigating for five days. It's clear that this was not an accident.”
The superior and his assistant exchanged a quick worried glance with each other.
The Inspector continued, ”Someone deliberately tried to kill President Han or Inspector Qing Zheng. They must've had, and most likely still have, bad blood with them.”
The police department would have found the Han Family's enemy without any problem if the criminal hadn't hidden their tracks. To an amateur team, the remains of the supposed accident looked so natural that they would think that it was a normal accident; but his team was made up of elite professionals. The minimal evidence they gathered already allowed them to be on the stairway to the truth.
Han Changhong pondered deeply. ”Well I uh I can understand if there is somebody out there who views my brother as their enemy. The Han Company's immense success puts us in a position to have spiteful competitors.” He raised his voice slightly, as though he were trying to conceal his inner pain. ”Some rivals wanted to take out the thorns in their sides. Maybe planning to kill the President was the only option.” Han Changhong paused to reflect. Despite his words, he couldn't imagine who would feel so much envy that they'd go their way to kill his brother. ”But my sister-in-law was she investigating something?”
He realized that the potential murderer could've been Han Ying Wei or Qin Zheng's enemy. Perhaps they even had a common enemy. Whoever it was, Han Changhong wanted them to be punished in the name of vengeance.
Inspector Zhao Jie lowered his voice and stated, ”She was in the Detective Department; therefore, I cannot disclose classified information. I apologize, Vice President Han.”
Han Changhong clenched his fists. Memories of Qin Zheng's bloody face and little Luo'er's cries flashed through his mind. ”She is our family. If that's the thing that got her killed, we have the right to know.”
Inspector Zhao Jie was also aggrieved. Qin Zheng was like his younger sister. ”I know how you are feeling, Vice President Han, and I do apologize. I can still investigate and try to find out who did this, but that is the most I can do.”
”I understand. Please, do what you can.” Han Changhong ended the phone call and sighed. ”It has already been two days after Xiao Zheng's funeral. Most of us there probably thought they had died in an unfortunate accident, yet in reality, we have no clue who harmed them!”
Assistant Tong empathized with his superior. His heart raced when he heard that Qin Zheng's profession might be the cause of such a tragic accident. His body slightly trembled in fear.
Tong looked down as if he were thinking of something. Suddenly, he looked up with a gleam in his eyes. ”Han Changhong, if you want me to become Vice President, I will agree to it, but only on one condition.”
Han Changhong replied almost instantly. ”What is it?” He will agree to Assistant Tong's request as long as it's favorable.
Assistant Tong proposed, ”I want to teach Young Master Han and little Luo'er about the company. I want them to inherit the company later. Young master Han, being the next family head, means that this would be beneficial especially for him.”
Han Changhong gulped in surprise. He understood the assistant's intention but was anxious about putting them in a position of vulnerability. ”They are still children, Tong. Don't force unrequired pressure on them, especially after this incident.”
Assistant Tong firmed up. He had his reasons. ”They have to take responsibility, sooner or later. If we give them slack, they might grow up irresponsibly. We need to solidify Han Corporation. so that another incident like this does not come and attack us in the future!”
