Spending the Villain’s Money to Extend My Life Chapter 469 - "Would you like the recording? Yours for 1 million yuan." (4)

Chapter 469 – “Would you like the recording? Yours for 1 million yuan.” (4)
Gu Jiangxin knew very well that as bad as the situation right now, as long as he could hang in there, he would catch a break sooner or later.
He did not evade tax, after all.
The most he had done was to give some gifts to a few officials in the past. Now that these individuals had already transferred away. Whoever wanted to look into these would need to be mindful of these individuals’ current positions. They may not leave no stones unturned and kill all grasshoppers on the same string.
The investigation would naturally halt when they run into someone that they couldn’t touch.
“Uncle, I’ve heard that you have infuriated Mayor Liu by giving him a painting?”
Huo Wencheng paused a little.
“Those committed corruption can be sentence up to 5 years in imprisonment or detention along with a fine. 5 to 10 years if it is serious enough. Uncle, that painting cost 30 million yuan, right?
“You’ve broken the law. If the shareholders find out…”.....
It didn’t matter whether the shareholders were supportive of his action at the time. Once h3ll had broken lose, they would turn and report him just so they could stay out of it.
“Dad, Mom and I had tried to talk you out of it in the past.”
Gu Wushuang sobbed again.
The words “in the past” almost burn the room down like fire.
Gu Jiangxin was short of jumping up from his bed. Pointing straight at Gu Wushuang’s nose, he said, “You, you… …”
White-eyed wolf!
He had done that more than once.
He had thought of Gu Wushuang as his real daughter in the past and never hid it from her when he had dinners with certain mayors or secretaries.
He never had his daughter mingled with the bosses’ kids that were around her age.
He even had Zhang Wen attended a few of the gatherings with the other ladies and he had subsequently sent gifts under his wife’s name.
Zhang Wen knew of some of them but she was never interested in such things and had no evidence that could harm him!
Gu Jiangxin was sure of that. That was the reason he was able to divorce her fearlessly and without hesitation.
Nevertheless, when these words come out of Gu Wushuang, his hand began shaking uncontrollably.
Gu Wushuang was crying the entire time. Her voice choked back as though she was the most fragile person in the whole world.
“I’m sorry, Dad. I’ve overheard your phone conversation with Uncle Chen one time.
“I’ve just finished with my piano practice and came out to get some water… you know, in order to improve my piano skills, I’ve always recorded my practice so I can compare my performance from day to day. That day… everything was all recorded!”
Gu Jiangxin almost stop breathing!
What, what had he done to himself?!
What had he kept in his own house?!
“I don’t want to report you, Dad. I really don’t want to see that happen but… Dad, I am begging you. Brother Cheng can’t afford another misstep right now. His mother doesn’t like me. At this rate, Brother Cheng will be banished from his family!”
Her words couldn’t have sounded more loving and rational.
She was about to destroy her father for the man that she loved.
As soon as she was done talking, Huo Wencheng’s loving voice came from the patient room, obviously touched.
“Wushuang.”
“Brother Cheng– –”
“Both of you… GET OUT OF HERE!”
Gu Jiangxin roared!
“Uncle, I knew it’s a difficult pill for you to swallow right now. But this whole thing is your fault all along. You may not know this but Boss Zhou, who went with you that day, had taken a photo of the painting that you offered up to Mayor Liu.”
Gu Jiangxin was breathing hard.
Obviously, Huo Wencheng had gotten a copy of the photo from Boss Zhou. “Flower in mirror and moon in water. Uncle, that was where you failed.”
The patient room went silent for a while before there came another roaring from an old voice.
“THAT’S, THAT’S IMPOSSIBLE…!!”
“You give it some thought. Wushuang and I will return to visit you again tomorrow.”
Then, it was the clicking of the high heel sound again.
The clicking sound got further and further away in Gu Jiangxin’s roar.
