"?"
Gao Yuan didn't understand why he suddenly asked that.
But Zhan Bei Jue didn't want to explain. "Just tell me yes or no."
"Technically, yes."
"Just like the office software you usually use, to preserve evidence or make records, any subsequent modifications will leave a time record."
"Understood. I have some urgent company matters, I'll handle them first."
"I'll have someone come take care of her. I'll trouble you for the next few days."
Zhan Bei Jue drove to the company and called Zhou Jin Bei on the way to ask her to go to the hospital.
Since she didn't have class at home, Zhou Jin Bei was delighted to take care of a patient.
Back at the company, Zhan Bei Jue personally hacked into the Love Maternity Hospital's system.
He entered Tang Xue Ying's name and found her medical records. He found no trace of any modifications.
For the past six years, as Tang Yuan Shan had said, she had been hospitalized.
Records of various medical supplies and resuscitation times were clear.
Then he looked at Jiang Nan Fang.
Her prenatal B-ultrasound reports from six years ago and birth records all showed she had been carrying quadruplets.
But why would she insist she didn't know about the quadruplets?
Zhan Bei Jue didn't want to think the worst of Jiang Nan Fang.
Even though she had done many things that disappointed him.
But he was truly captivated by her now.
The children longed for their mother so much.
He would rather believe that all of this was fabricated by Tang Xue Ying.
It was already very late.
So much had happened tonight, Zhan Bei Jue couldn't sleep.
He worried about how Jiang Nan Fang was doing alone at the police station, and worried that Ah Zhong would uncover more disappointing things.
He stood in his luxurious sky-high office, smoking one cigarette after another.
Until the sky turned the color of fish belly, he finally collapsed on the sofa, exhausted, and closed his eyes.
When he woke up, it was almost eleven in the morning.
Checking the time, Ah Zhong had already landed. He hurriedly called him.
Ah Zhong answered immediately. Zhan Bei Jue asked him how the investigation was going. Ah Zhong, who had also not slept all night, said,
"As soon as I landed, I went to the house where Miss Jiang used to live. It has indeed been occupied by someone else now."
"But the current owner said they didn't buy it from Tang Xue Ying."
Zhan Bei Jue frowned deeply and said nothing, waiting for him to continue.
Ah Zhong continued, "They said they bought it from a man named Paul. I wanted to find his address, so I hacked into the local civil affairs system."
"Then I discovered, I discovered..."
"Discovered what?"
At this point, Zhan Bei Jue felt there was nothing he couldn't accept.
"I discovered that he and Miss Jiang had been married for a year."
What?
Zhan Bei Jue thought he was hallucinating, "Say that again."
"President Zhan, don't get agitated. That was five years ago. That is to say, the year Miss Jiang first arrived here, she..."
"Damn it!"
Zhan Bei Jue kicked the coffee table opposite the sofa.
He could accept anything from Jiang Nan Fang.
Even if she got into fights, lied, or acted however she pleased in front of him.
But he couldn't accept that she had been with another man.
This woman was completely unapproachable; the more he interacted with her, the more he found her secrets to be outrageously numerous.
The more he interacted with her, the more he couldn't understand her. Zhan Bei Jue had never felt so defeated.
He felt like a brainless sycophant.
A fool who had been completely deceived by her!
Ah Zhong heard the commotion and was so scared that he dared not continue.
Zhan Bei Jue, in his rage, lit another cigarette. After a few puffs, he instructed him,
"Anything else? Continue."
Ah Zhong had no choice but to continue.
"The reason we couldn't find Miss Jiang for the past six years is because she changed her name after marriage. In Dan Country, she took her husband's surname and was always known as Mrs. Pierre."
"The children are named Coraline and Alice."
"If Tang Xue Ying had lived here, she would have likely used an English name. Because I asked the nearby neighbors, and most of them said they are visually impaired when it comes to Asians, they can't tell the difference."
"And everyone values their privacy and doesn't interact much."
"The information registered Paul as just an employee of a car wash. I checked local salaries, and he earned about three thousand yuan a month."
"But he has three hundred million in liquid funds in his account."
"I found Paul's address based on the registered information and prepared to have a good talk with him."
"But he was clearly prepared. Seeing me appear at his door, he jumped out the window and drove away without a word."
"In order to find him, I used the excuse that he stole my valuables and reported it to the police."
"But this place is only eighty miles from Yuan Country, a neighboring country. The two countries have good relations, and there are not many restrictions on entry and exit. If he has already driven to Yuan Country, the police there can't do anything about him."
"And this place is sparsely populated, generally good public order, and underdeveloped network. There are very few usable surveillance cameras on the road."
"I cannot provide evidence of him stealing my belongings, and since I am a foreign tourist, the staff may not genuinely help me find him."
So, Ah Zhong traveled all this way, and apart from finding out that Jiang Nan Fang had remarried, there would be no progress?
Zhan Bei Jue felt nauseous, his heart filled with irritation.
"Bring back all the evidence you've collected. There's no need to investigate further. Take the earliest flight back."
Ah Zhong was unwilling to give up, "If we go back like this, what about Miss Jiang?"
"You don't need to worry about it anymore. I'll handle the rest."
He forced himself to go to the bathroom in the office to wash up, changed his clothes, and Zhan Bei Jue called a legal representative to accompany him to the police station.
Seeing him arrive, the leader was very polite, received him personally, and told him the results of their overnight investigation.
"According to Jiang Nan Fang's own confession, and the witnesses and evidence we found, she indeed has a serious grievance with Tang Xue Ying and has a motive for the crime."
"Furthermore, her account has up to five hundred million yuan in available funds, far exceeding her normal earning capacity. We have reason to suspect that her sudden return to Nancheng for work involves money laundering activities."
"Intentionally harming someone's health, causing death, and cross-border money laundering, Mr. Zhan, I don't need to tell you how serious the consequences are, right?"
Jiang Nan Fang returned to Nancheng for cross-border money laundering?
Zhan Bei Jue, who had trusted her too much, had never thought of it that way.
With all the evidence presented, and all unfavorable evidence pointing to her, even with his previous trust, Zhan Bei Jue now had to waver.
However, evidence is evidence, and feelings are feelings.
Without hearing Jiang Nan Fang admit it herself, he was still somewhat unwilling to give up.
"Can I have a meeting with her? There are some doubts I want to hear her explain in person."
The leader said, "She's very tight-lipped. Even with the evidence in front of her, she refuses to admit any guilt."
"It's good that you talk to her. Tell her about our policy, confess and be treated leniently, and stop resisting futilely."
