Chapter 664: Chapter 633 Punishment, No Help Available_1

Once the matter was in Huo Yingjie’s hands, He Tiantian would not interfere.

As a woman here, without the help of Snake King, she didn’t know how to exact her revenge.

If she came across Wang Bing, He Tiantian would slap Wang Bing twice to vent her anger, letting Wang Bing know that she, He Tiantian, was not to be trifled with.

As for the rest, she would let Huo Yingjie handle it.

Although Huo Yingjie was not intentionally responsible, the trouble had indeed been provoked by him.

By nightfall, Huo Yingjie left Little Rotating Turtle at home and disappeared into the night.

Huo Yingjie went straight to those gangsters who were unconscious at the entrance of the alley and implanted some brands in their minds so that when they woke up, they would go looking for trouble with Wang Bing.

This was the first step, using the enemy’s methods against them.

To tarnish Wang Bing’s reputation was precisely the reason Wang Bing had employed those thugs.

Since Wang Bing dared to do it, there was nothing Huo Yingjie felt he couldn’t do in retaliation.

In this world, he could kill someone without anyone noticing.

The reason he kept such a low profile was because Huo Yingjie didn’t want to live that kind of life.

Not liking it didn’t mean he couldn’t do it.

For the wife he loved and his family, he could do anything.

The next step was to bring down Wang Bing’s support system.

Wang Bing had money and power, and could command many people because of it. Without wealth and influence at home, this step would certainly not be feasible.

Huo Yingjie acted swiftly, delivering evidence of Wang Bing’s father, Wang Shengli, taking bribes and corrupting the law, straight to Wang Shengli’s rival.

This person had long coveted Wang Shengli’s position but never found an opportunity.

Huo Yingjie placed the items at the designated spot and left a note in the rival’s door crack to guide him to the evidence.

This way was much more effective than simply handing it over directly.

Indeed, three days later, Wang Bing applied for sick leave.

A week later, the Disciplinary Committee began investigating Wang Shengli, who was then suspended from his duties.

If the investigation proved the allegations true, Wang Shengli faced not only dismissal but also imprisonment.

Wang Bing was entangled by those thugs and was ***.

Dragging her battered body home, Wang Bing saw only her mother, Cai Ying, crying alone.

"Mom, what’s wrong?" Wang Bing disregarded her own pain and asked urgently; she had had a hard time getting away from the thugs and was unaware that trouble had found its way home.

Cai Ying startled at the sight of her daughter and asked hastily, "Child, where have you been these past two days?"

"I rested at Qiaoqiao’s place yesterday," Wang Bing fabricated an excuse, not wanting her mother to know what had happened to her, "Mom, where’s dad? By this time, dad should have finished work."

When Cai Ying heard her daughter ask about her father, grief overwhelmed her and she choked up, "Your dad has been reported, and he’s currently under investigation."

"Reported?" Wang Bing was stunned, "Why would dad be reported?"

Cai Ying said indignantly, "I don’t know who the heartless wretch is; probably someone who wants to climb the ladder. They see your dad as an obstacle."

"Who is he blocking?" Wang Bing asked, sensing something fishy, "What are they accusing dad of?"

"Embezzlement, taking bribes, corruption." Cai Ying sighed deeply, aware of the reality of their household – if they didn’t take bribes, could they live so comfortably?

But isn’t that the way of all government officials?

Take some money, some items, help people with things.

As for embezzlement and perverting the law, my husband is nothing but a minor official, a complete nobody—how could he possibly be involved in such things?

Wang Bing was taken aback, then fell silent. After thinking for a while, she said, "Have you asked my aunt, my uncle?"

"I just came back from their place. Your uncle and aunt have been trying to cope with the situation for the past couple of days," Cai Ying said, "I’m just a logistics staff in an office. Waiting around there, I can’t be of any help, so I came back home."

Wang Bing nodded, thought for a moment, and then said, "I’ll go freshen up first, and then I’ll go with you to my uncle’s house."

Originally, Wang Bing had returned thinking of seeking her father’s revenge. But with her father under investigation and her support gone, she was completely thrown off balance and had to put her own issues aside to save her father first.

Wang Bing got ready, applied some powder to make her complexion look better, freshened up, and changed into clean clothes.

By the time they left the house, it was already seven o’clock in the evening.

Upon their arrival at the Qin Family’s home, the Qin Family was just about to have dinner.

Wang Mei hurriedly called her sister-in-law and niece over to eat. Qin Dachuan’s face showed a trace of embarrassment; he had inquired around today, but as soon as he mentioned he was Wang Shengli’s relative, people immediately changed the subject.

A friend, who was quite close to Qin Dachuan, had privately told him not to get involved in the matter, to avoid getting implicated himself.

Qin Dachuan still wanted to climb further up the ranks and certainly did not wish to jeopardize his career for a distant relative.

"Big sister-in-law, Little Bing, come over and eat," Wang Mei said. "Lili, serve your aunt and cousin some rice."

"Oh!" Qin Li replied and went to the kitchen to serve the rice.

Even though she was anxious, Wang Bing didn’t feel it appropriate to ask about her father’s situation at the dinner table. She could only wait until after the meal to ask, "Uncle, what’s the situation with my dad now? Can he get out of this unscathed?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Dachuan shook his head and said, "I’ve been making inquiries all day, and although I didn’t get the full picture, I did learn the gist of it. Someone reported your father for corruption and bribery, for embezzling and perverting the law. That’s not all; there’s evidence from the top. According to that evidence, many things have been verified during the investigation, proving your father indeed engaged in corruption and bribery."

Cai Ying became anxious and said, "Dachuan, that can hardly count as corruption and bribery—it’s just doing some favors for people and taking a little something in return. Your big brother is too timid to dare do anything too excessive."

Doing favors?

Taking a little something in return?

Too timid to dare do anything too excessive?

My God, what on earth does this big sister-in-law consider too excessive?

If this doesn’t count, then what does?

Maybe not just one person took a little something in return, but this is already a very serious matter, isn’t it?

No one has reported it simply because there hasn’t been a threat, or it hasn’t hampered someone else’s path.

Once a report is made, and in such detail, it shows that they’ve been eyeing my big uncle for a while.

"Do you understand how seriously the Party takes these matters now? Your big brother’s case is not easy to handle," Qin Dachuan sighed, having such a relative was truly a stroke of bad luck.

To not help would mean facing the wrath of the tiger mother at home; to help, on the other hand, would mean dealing with a case where the evidence is already conclusive—what to do?

"Dachuan, please help my big brother," Wang Mei said. "If big brother gets into trouble, what will happen to his whole family?"

"Uncle, please save my father," Wang Bing pleaded. "Once Dad is out, we will definitely express our gratitude to you." Without her father, what was she but a mere school doctor?

Qin Li and Qin Kai looked at each other and remained silent.

Their father had already told them about their big uncle’s situation and knew that if their father got involved, he might get unlucky too.

Compared to their own family’s misfortune, it seemed better to let others face it.
