Opening an office in Taila
Chapter 334 Poison
When Song Yufeng returned to the Minghuang Chamber of Commerce in a fit of rage, he was taken aback because the Minghuang Chamber of Commerce was different from the chamber of commerce he had previously remembered.
Previously, when he returned to Ursus, he did not go back to Gillin City. This was his first time stepping into the post-war headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce.
In fact, Song Yufeng had already seen the tall building from afar. However, at that time, Song Yufeng did not know that it was the newly moved headquarters of the Minghuang Chamber of Commerce.
He followed the address Lin Yuxia gave him step by step until he got close enough to realize that the high-rise building was the new headquarters of the Minghuang Chamber of Commerce.
“Song…Song Yufeng?!” At the door, Song Yufeng ran into an old acquaintance—Chen.
"Hey, Inspector Chan, long time no see."
Chen rushed up and hugged Song Yufeng, then laughed and said, "You're so heartless! You didn't even tell me you were coming back before, and now that you're back, you're planning to stay silent again?"
“I was in too much of a rush that time, and this time… well, I was in a rush too, so I didn’t contact you. How are Xiong Sir and Lao Li doing?” Song Yufeng asked.
"Okay, everything is fine. By the way, you said you were in a hurry to come back this time. What happened?" Chen asked.
"Damn it, I get so angry just thinking about this. It's blatant corruption! Someone within Minghuang colluded with high-ranking officials in Jilin to cut corners during construction. They're treating the lives of ordinary people like a joke, and this happened right here in Jilin City, right at Minghuang's headquarters! Victoria is shrouded in gloom, and yet this kind of problem has occurred in our rear. If I catch them, they'll all be executed!" Song Yufeng said angrily.
"Who dares to be so bold?" Chen rolled up her sleeves, clearly intending to help Song Yufeng as well.
"Li Jue, Project Director of the Minghuang Engineering Department."
"Her? I know this person. She is highly regarded by Lin Yuxia and is a veteran. She has been by Lin Yuxia's side since you were in Longmen. Even during the civil war and the Yanwu War, she stood firmly by Lin Yuxia's side and personally delivered supplies to the front line. She even almost lost her life for it. Such a person embezzling? It's unbelievable." Chen said in shock.
"Everyone can be corrupted." Song Yufeng didn't expect this guy to be so upright, but now that she's a suspect, he can only put aside her previous contributions for the time being.
In short, with the idea of investigating her first, Song Yufeng and Chen entered the Underworld together.
Without a doubt, Song Yufeng's return almost caused an earthquake in Minghuang. Almost all the members of Minghuang headquarters rushed over, cheering for their leader's return.
The veteran members were naturally moved to tears, while the new members were filled with admiration and fervor. They all knew the story of their legendary leader, and now that their leader had come to their side, how could they not be excited?
Faced with the enthusiasm of the Minghuang people, Song Yufeng couldn't retaliate immediately, so he went along with them for the time being and then secretly asked Chen to go find Li Jue.
While Song Yufeng was giving an impromptu speech at the Great Hall of the People, Chen quietly found Li Jue's office.
Just as Chen had predicted, Li Jue did not go.
"Li Jue, what are you doing? Song Yufeng is back, aren't you going to listen to him?"
Chen Mingxian saw Li Jue's delicate body tremble, but Li Jue turned around and said very calmly, "Why should I go?"
“Everyone went, and that was our leader.”
"Ha, leader, I don't object to saying this during the war, but what about after the war? I only see one leader, and that is Lin Yuxia. Lin Yuxia is here helping him manage the Minghuang Chamber of Commerce, but what about him?"
“That’s not how it works. Li Jue and Lin Yuxia are in charge of internal affairs, while Song Yufeng is in charge of external affairs. It’s always been like this. Both of them are under tremendous pressure and have made decisive contributions to Minghuang,” Chen said, frowning.
Seeing that Li Jue remained silent, Chen continued, "Besides, don't you know that they've already confirmed their relationship? After they get married, it won't matter who's in charge."
Although Chen felt a little disappointed as she said this, she was still happy that Song Yufeng and Lin Yuxia, this star-crossed couple, had finally gotten together.
"No matter what, I don't acknowledge him. I would even say that he is not worthy of Lin Yuxia at all," Li Jue said firmly.
"Hmm, so who do you think is good enough for her?" Chen looked at Li Jue's serious expression and couldn't help but laugh. "Looking at you like this, anyone who didn't know better would really think you're worried about Lin Yuxia's happiness. In my opinion, the reason you're delaying like this is because you've done something wrong and you're afraid to see Song Yufeng, right?"
This sudden turn of events caught Li Jue completely off guard. She looked up at Chen in shock, only to have Chen slam his fist on the table and yell, "Speak! What exactly have you done?!"
Li Jue was so frightened that her delicate body trembled and her face turned deathly pale, but she still refused to say a word.
"Let me be more direct then, where did all that money of yours come from?!" Chen was bluffing her, hoping to break down her defenses with this move.
However, Li Jue was still trembling with fear and remained silent.
"Alright, that's enough. Come with me to the police station." Chen was too lazy to waste any more words. She knew she couldn't get anything out of him now, so she decided to hand him over to the local police station.
"Is it over?" Song Yufeng asked over the phone.
“It’s over. She hasn’t confessed yet. I plan to take her to the police station.”
"No, we can't say whether the police station was involved or not. The only one we can trust is the prosecutor's office. Hand her over to the prosecutor's office, and then have a few trustworthy people follow her the whole time. She is an important lead, so you must protect her well," Song Yufeng said in a low voice.
"Okay." Chen said, then hung up the phone and hurriedly left with Li Jue.
As for inquiries about Li Jue's whereabouts, the standard response was that he went to report to Lin Yuxia.
But this wouldn't buy much time. Soon, accomplices who were colluding with Li Jue would realize something was wrong. Song Yufeng knew he needed to act quickly, so he secretly instructed Xiao Cai to lead a team to monitor the headquarters and take control of anyone with suspicious activity.
Several hours later, Song Yufeng received a call from Chen.
"died……"
"what?!"
“Li Jue is dead… Someone poisoned her… But we have caught the murderer. According to the murderer, his employer is Norriech, the director of the Kirin City Engineering Bureau.”
