Chapter 381: Chapter 294: Catching Two Criminals

At this moment, Chen Deshuang still hadn’t realized the seriousness of the situation.

He was used to swaggering around by invoking Zhang Yonghao’s clout, so when he heard Zhang Yonghao’s angry voice on the phone, his first reaction was guilt.

Zhang Yonghao generally looked down on Chen Deshuang, believing Chen Deshuang was incompetent, but he still showed some courtesy towards Yuan Zhengjuan.

Seeing Zhang Yonghao so angry, Chen Deshuang didn’t think twice and hurriedly pushed the hot potato into the hands of a dumbstruck Yuan Zhengjuan.

Yuan Zhengjuan was already at a loss for a response due to what Jiang Ning had just said, and then she heard Zhang Yonghao’s roar coming from the mobile phone:

"You think you’ve got a pig’s brain up there or what? You know the dirty tricks you pull are low class and yet you don’t keep a low profile? You just have to make it known to everyone!"

"Now look what’s happened, it’s been posted online, and netizens across the country are about to know all the dirty laundry you’ve aired! I must’ve been jinxed in my last life to be related by marriage to someone brainless like you!"

"Don’t you dare claim I’m your brother-in-law again! If I hear you say such things again, I’ll divorce your sister immediately!"

"Brother-in-law..." Yuan Zhengjuan was so scolded that she barely managed to respond, "What happened?"

How did the conversation suddenly turn to divorce?!

She dared not respond to that.

Holding the phone, Yuan Zhengjuan turned to Chen Deshuang in anger, "What exactly did you do using my brother-in-law’s name?"

"I didn’t do anything," Chen Deshuang retorted with a stubborn defense, "I just went to work, sought some clients, and was just inexplicably beaten up."

As he spoke, he glanced at Jiang Ning from the corner of his eye, signaling that she was the assailant.

Zhang Yonghao, upon hearing Chen Deshuang’s words, snorted coldly, "He was skimming eighty percent in kickbacks from patients, and some internet star found out. They live-streamed it online, and countless netizens have seen it!"

"Just now, the company called me to ask if this guy works under me. You tell him to figure it out himself! If he dares implicate me, I’ll divorce his sister in an instant!"

As soon as these words were out, Zhang Yonghao tapped his finger and ended the call.

"You were extorting an eighty percent kickback from those people?!" Yuan Zhengjuan was taken aback, scarcely believing what she was hearing.

She looked incredulously at Chen Deshuang, "Have you gone mad?"

Just as Chen Deshuang knew she secretly took kickbacks from patients, Yuan Zhengjuan had also heard about the things Chen Deshuang did on the sly.

But Chen Deshuang had always said he was merely getting meals from patients’ families or a small red envelope, at most the price of a few packs of cigarettes.

Yuan Zhengjuan could never have imagined Chen Deshuang being so audacious.

Chen Deshuang turned his head away, his face a blend of embarrassment and guilt.

"Brother-in-law said that your deeds have been exposed online and if it implicates him, he will divorce your sister. You figure it out yourself," Yuan Zhengjuan relayed the facts.

"Online?" Chen Deshuang frowned as if something had occurred to him, and he turned his head to look at Jiang Ning, "Was it you?"

He recalled that just now Jiang Ning had been holding her phone throughout.

At the time, Chen Deshuang thought little of Jiang Ning’s phone holding, feeling that today’s youth were always looking for drama, ready to broadcast every trivial matter online.

It was only now that he suddenly had an uneasy feeling.

Jiang Ning had uploaded his video online, and right after, his brother-in-law had called in a rage.

Chen Deshuang couldn’t believe it was just a coincidence!

Jiang Ning nodded slightly, neither admitting nor denying.

Chen Deshuang looked suspicious and snatched his phone from Yuan Zhengjuan’s hand, asking, "Which site did you post to?"

When he unlocked his phone, he found several missed calls and unheard voicemails!

His phone was on silent, and since Yuan Zhengjuan had been using his phone to talk to Zhang Yonghao, he hadn’t noticed other calls coming through.

Chen Deshuang scrolled through the missed calls, growing increasingly alarmed.

Almost all were from his colleagues and superiors, with WeChat messages piling up to the point of explosion.

Thick as mites, the screen was dotted with unread red badges.

Yuan Zhengjuan, standing very close to Chen Deshuang, also saw the messages on his phone screen.

Yuan Zhengjuan wasn’t foolish; she knew her own actions were shady and generally kept a low profile. Except for Chen Deshuang, hardly anyone else knew about her side business selling overpriced, illegal health products.

She stared intently at Jiang Ning, making sure that the latter wasn’t one of her customers.

Meaning that Jiang Ning’s target was Chen Deshuang!
