Contract Marriage: Billionaire and His Deaf Wife-Chapter 497: Inside Story Surfaces (8)

Chen Jiaming looked down and saw that Xiao Shulan’s incoming call was blocked again on his phone. He quietly locked his phone and slipped it back into his pocket. He saw Kang Baojun sitting across from him on the sofa, chatting merrily with Lin Jiale. Their expressions were relaxed as if neither of them knew that Lin Jiale’s wife’s family was currently in dire straits, beset by both natural and man-made disasters.

Eventually, Kang Baojun draped his arm over Lin Jiale’s shoulder and asked about a serious matter, "Be honest, was it you who did it? I heard your brother-in-law went straight for the Yang Family’s throat. Was it the Yang Family who did it?"

Lin Jiale’s answer to the question of whether he was the murderer was indeed profound. He said, "It was Miss Yang who gave the orders. If my brother-in-law joins forces with the Public Security Bureau to investigate further, the outcome will surely be the same. The testimony of a witness is useless without evidence to support it. There are transaction vouchers for the dealings between the two parties."

Overhearing this conversation, Chen Jiaming couldn’t help but blink, barely concealing the turmoil in his heart.

He thought to himself that Lin Jiale really was a sly old fox who had done many evil deeds.

But in reality, all Lin Jiale did was exploit the loopholes in the law.

When it comes to whom the laws of this world truly serve, needless to say, they definitely aren’t made for the general populace, but rather for the wealthy. Just take the unreliability of verbal witness testimony, demanding solid evidence instead. The rich clearly have far more options to manipulate this stage of the process. While the poor have to commit crimes themselves, resulting in clear-cut cases, the wealthy can hire hitmen to kill and have countless ways to cover up their crimes.

In plain terms, how could someone as young as Yang Zhilin outwit someone as cunning as Lin Jiale? Fortunately, the Yang Family has strong backing, able to shield Yang Zhilin to some extent.

Facing someone like Lin Jiale, relying solely on the law or force is naturally no longer a viable solution.

Chen Jiaming’s eyebrows creased slightly, and his expression grew uncontrollably somber.

Across from him, Kang Baojun noticed his severe expression and lifted the corner of his mouth, saying, "Director Chen seems still traumatized by the recent attack."

He was referring to a business trip where the other party, failing to win at financial games, targeted Chen Jiaming’s people.

Chen Jiaming did have some reflective thoughts on this. He wondered if relying solely on intellect and finance strategies might not be enough to solve problems.

However, it seemed that the Xiao Family father and son didn’t share this view, thinking instead that there was a flaw in his financial strategy.

This infuriated him and was something he could not accept. How could he, a proud Harvard University Finance graduate, be bested by a prodigal son who couldn’t even graduate from college?

This was undoubtedly a deliberate move by the Xiao Family father and son to oppress and force him into a corner.

After loyally working for the Xiao Family, he saw what he had gotten in return—nothing but doubts, plots to diminish his status, or perhaps even to drive him out of Changda penniless. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

As his father was dying, holding his hand, he remembered his words clearly. His father had said, "Everything has changed, things naturally change over time."

Wasn’t that referring to Xiao Jianming’s ingratitude?

Kang Junjia came in after finishing a phone call outside and said to the group, mainly addressing Lin Jiale and his own son, "Get ready, we’re about to welcome a new owner."

Clearly, Chen Jiaming couldn’t understand the meaning of those words, but the others present did.

Chen Jiaming had no choice but to become more vigilant around this group of people.

Turning around, Kang Junjia seemed to notice Chen Jiaming’s presence as if for the first time, and quickly walked over to him with a slightly stiff smile. He patted his shoulder in his usual affectionate way, saying, "Director Chen is one of the most important people in Changda. No matter who takes over Changda, they definitely won’t let Director Chen go. On the contrary, they will elevate your position in the company, because without Director Chen, the internal operations of Changda will surely fall apart."
