Chapter 1002: The Fall of the Wang Family (Revised Version)

Along the way, Qin Hao saw Wang Ying's worried look and couldn't help but ask worriedly: "What happened?"

"My uncle was arrested." Wang Ying's tone was full of panic. Her mother just called her and asked her to go back. She thought she had been caught because she ran back early, but she didn't expect to hear the bad news.

Qin Hao's heart moved. Being arrested and being investigated are two completely different concepts. In the mainland, there is generally no arrest without solid evidence.

Qin Hao had heard Wang Ying say before that her father was the director in charge of engineering construction, and her uncle was a businessman. Although Wang Ying didn't say what business her uncle was in, it was very likely that he was in engineering.

One of the brothers was in charge of construction, and the other took on engineering. If you say there is no exchange of interests between them, no one would believe it. Wang Ying lives in a luxurious villa, and the driver drives a Mercedes-Benz to school. Such a consumption level can't be based on her father's salary, right?

Outside the Wang family villa, the car just stopped and Wang Ying was about to get off, but was stopped by Qin Hao.

"I'll go in with you."

Wang Ying hesitated, and Qin Hao patted her hand: "More people, more strength."

"Well... okay."

In the hall of the villa, only Wang's mother was sitting alone on the sofa. Hearing the noise outside, Wang's mother looked up, but when she saw a man following Wang Ying, her face immediately fell again.

"Why did you bring him with you?" Wang's mother asked with a dark face.

Wang Ying did not answer directly, but asked anxiously: "Mom, what happened? Why was uncle arrested? Where is my dad?"

Wang's mother pretended to be calm: "Your dad is fine for the time being, but he was interviewed by the organization and suspended from his duties. He should be home soon."

Wang Ying secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this.

Speaking of the devil, the devil came, and there was a sound of the door opening behind her. Wang Ying looked back and saw that it was her father, and she ran over immediately.

"Dad, are you okay?"

Father Wang forced a forced smile and comforted: "Yingying is back, don't worry, your father has seen all kinds of storms, it's okay."

"Yingying has guests at home, why don't you introduce them to your father, it's rude."

Wang Ying's cheeks were flushed, and she pulled Qin Hao's sleeve: "This is my boyfriend Qin Hao, Dad..."

Father Wang smiled and stretched out his hand to Qin Hao: "Mr. Qin, I have seen him on TV and in newspapers many times, but I didn't expect that the first meeting would be at home, or at this time, sorry to embarrass you."

"You're polite." Qin Hao said neither servile nor arrogant, and at the same time held Father Wang's hand, and couldn't help but sigh, after all, he is a leader in a high position, and he can still be so calm when the time comes. This skill of nourishing qi alone is not something that ordinary people can have.

Father Wang looked at Qin Hao for a while and said in an admiring tone: "I have always heard that you graduated from Peking University and Tsinghua University. At that time, I thought that you and my daughter were also alumni. I didn't expect that there was such a relationship."

"Sit down. Since Yingying can bring you home, we are a family. There is no need to be polite. Just like your own family."

Mother Wang was about to refute, but was interrupted by a look from Father Wang: "Is there any fruit at home? Go cut some fruit."

"Mom, I will help you." Wang Ying was also sent away by Father Wang.

Suddenly, only Qin Hao and Father Wang were left in the living room, sitting opposite each other.

Father Wang sighed: "Actually, I know about your past with Yingying. To be honest, her mother hopes to find her a boyfriend who is in the system and of equal status. But this girl went to England alone for four years for you and never came back. I can see that she really wants to be with you."

"However, our family is in this situation now. Not only can we not provide you with help, but it may even become a burden to you. Are you sure you still want to be with Yingying?"

Qin Hao said firmly: "Of course, I am with Wang Ying, not because of her identity."

"Okay, very good." Father Wang smiled happily. This was the first time in many years that he showed his true inner feelings in front of outsiders.

While the two were talking, Wang Ying had come out of the kitchen with a fruit plate.

"What are you talking about? You are so happy?" Wang Ying sat next to Qin Hao very naturally, which made Father Wang sigh that his little cabbage was taken away.

"Nothing, let's talk about the next countermeasures." Qin Hao replied casually.

Wang Ying looked at her father with a worried look on her face: "Dad, how is my uncle? How much impact has this incident had on you?"

Born in such a family, Wang Ying has some understanding of the officialdom. This kind of thing cannot have no impact on her father. The key is how big the impact is.

Father Wang sighed: "Your uncle has been floating after making some money in recent years. He went to Macau several times. Not only did he squander all his savings, but he also misappropriated the project funds without authorization and used fake and shoddy building materials, which led to the collapse of the bridge. This time the evidence is conclusive and there is no room for recovery."

"As for me, I am now suspended from work. The organization will definitely send someone to investigate later..."

Speaking of this, Father Wang paused and said to Wang Ying: "You shouldn't come back at this time. Otherwise, let Xiao Qin take you abroad to play for a while. When the limelight of this incident has passed, you can come back."

Before Wang Ying objected, Qin Hao comforted her: "Uncle, things are not out of control yet. Don't be so pessimistic."

Dad Wang sighed: "I have already thought of all the ways I can think of. The problem now is that the collapse of the bridge caused a major accident. Once the media gets involved, the matter will get bigger and bigger. The higher-ups must give an explanation to the public."

"Besides, we really deserved this, and it's not unjust."

Father Wang shook his head when he heard this: "And now that the Wang family's connections are no longer useful, others will only go around us if they see it."

The atmosphere in the living room fell to freezing point for a while, but Wang's father still invited Qin Hao to stay for a meal.

When Wang Ying sent Qin Hao out, she was still a little worried: "Will my dad finally..."

Qin Hao suddenly thought that in the original drama, Dad Wang was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer when he was taken away for investigation, and he died within three months. By this time, it was probably already in the advanced stage and there was no way to save him.

"No matter what, you have to remember that I will always be behind you."

"Um."

A week later, Wang’s father was still taken away by the relevant departments, saying that he was assisting in the investigation. In fact, a case had been filed and even the lawyer could not see him.

Wang Ying, who had always been strong, cried so hard that Qin Hao could only hold her in his arms and comfort her softly: "Don't scare yourself. I'm just assisting in the investigation. Maybe everything will be fine soon."

For almost half a month, there was no news from Wang's father until one day, Wang's mother received the notice and took Qin Hao and Wang Ying to the hospital.

When she learned that Wang's father had terminal pancreatic cancer, Wang's mother's eyes darkened and she almost fell to the ground, but Qin Hao quickly caught her.

There was a chaos in the ward, and Mrs. Wang finally woke up.

Father Wang was lying on the hospital bed, with an ugly smile on his pale face, and said to his wife: "Actually, this is a good thing for me, otherwise I will probably be sentenced. You know that I Yes, I can’t bear the hardship..."

Before Father Wang finished speaking, Wang Ying was already lying beside the hospital bed sobbing, and Mother Wang even burst into tears.

Father Wang saw that no matter how he tried to comfort him, it had no effect, so he waved to Qin Hao.

"Xiao Qin, I entrusted you with my little cotton-padded jacket. Don't bully her because you think she has no father. I will watch you from below."

Qin Hao said nothing, but held Dad Wang's hand tightly.

In the end, Wang's father still did not survive three months. Just after his funeral, the Wang family's villa was also sealed and the family's bank card account was frozen. The main reason was that Wang Ying's uncle had lost all the family property in gambling. There is no enforceable property at all, and there have indeed been many financial transactions between the two families in recent years. It is difficult to prove whether it was a favor or stolen money.

Mother Wang suddenly felt that the sky was falling, and she cried bitterly while holding Wang Ying.

"Mom, it's okay. We can buy another villa if it's gone."

Mother Wang sobbed and shook her head, thinking that her daughter was too naive. A villa would cost at least tens of millions, and the family's money had been frozen. Where would the money come from to buy it again?

"Mom, your money is gone, but I still have it." Wang Ying saw her mother's distrust and said quickly.

"How much New Year's money you have, it's not even enough to buy an apartment." Mother Wang smiled bitterly.

"Enough, you forgot, didn't I invest 800,000 before? It has been profitable over the years, but I haven't touched it. It should be more than 3 million pounds now in a British investment fund."

Hearing this, Mother Wang looked at Wang Ying hesitantly: "You didn't mean to make mother happy, did you?"

"Mom, why don't you believe me? When did I lie to you?"

Mother Wang sniffed and muttered: Humph, that's not necessarily the case. We agreed not to contact Xiao Qin for four years, but ended up secretly dating him behind my back.

In the end, Mrs. Wang finally believed her words after seeing Wang Ying's fund account.

"Mom, how about I transfer money from the fund account to your card?"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wang waved her hands: "Forget it, it's better to keep the money with you safely. If you can't transfer it to my card, it will be frozen again."

"But we have to find a place to live, right?"

"Let's stay in the hotel first. After I finish taking care of things here, I'll go to England to live with you, so as not to miss things here."

Wang Ying bit her lower lip and said firmly: "Mom, I'm in the country and I'm not going anywhere."

"Yingying, Mom knows you want to be with Xiao Qin, but now is not the time. There are some things your dad didn't tell you. Do you really think it was just your uncle's bad gambling that collapsed a bridge and brought down the entire family? After all, your father's backer has fallen. If you stay in the country now, it will only bring trouble to Xiao Qin. Do you understand?" Mother Wang said in a serious tone.

Seeing her daughter's sad look, Mrs. Wang held her shoulders distressedly and comforted her softly.

"Mom knows that you are reluctant to leave Xiao Qin, and she is also reluctant to leave the capital. But now, leaving is the best choice. And with Xiao Qin's financial ability, he can go to the UK to see you at any time."

"Yingying, you have to understand that there is not much we women can do when men start their careers outside. Not causing them any trouble is the greatest help to them."

Wang Ying wiped the tears from her eyes and looked at the night view of the capital, her eyes full of reluctance.

On the other side, the news about the decline of the Wang family quickly spread in the circle.

On this day, Wang Ying came out of the hotel and was planning to visit the capital. She had not been back for four years and the changes here had been too great.

"Wang Ying."

Looking in the direction of the sound, Wang Ying looked at Yang Cheng in surprise.

"Why are you here?"

What surprised Wang Ying even more was that at this moment, Yang Cheng had long lost the spirit of the romantic young man in the past, his hair was messy, and the clothes he wore were all from street vendors.

"I heard that something happened to your dad, so I wanted to come and see you."

Wang Ying looked at Yang Cheng's wandering eyes and frowned slightly. It had been several months since something happened in her family. Yang Cheng had not shown up before, so why did he suddenly appear at this time.

"Thank you. Fortunately, my dad passed away suddenly and there was no pain." Wang Ying said casually. She seemed to be getting farther and farther away from Yang Cheng since then.

"That's good..." Yang Cheng was silent for a while, and then hesitantly said to Wang Ying.

"Wang Ying, can you still lend me some money?"

"How much do you want?" Wang Ying subconsciously rummaged through her wallet.

However, Yang Cheng revealed a number that she didn't expect.

"Five million."

Wang Ying's hand movements suddenly froze and her eyes widened: "What do you want so much money for?"

"I want to start a business. Wang Ying, I recently saw a very good project. It can move offline stores online, and it is a three-dimensional display, allowing people to go shopping immersively instead of browsing those monotonous pictures."

"Wang Ying, this project will definitely succeed, and you will be the major shareholder by then..."

Seeing Yang Cheng describing his project like crazy, Wang Ying subconsciously took a step back.

"Yang Cheng's investment is risky, so it's best to be cautious, and five million is not a small amount..."

Before Wang Ying could finish her words, Yang Cheng interrupted rudely: "What's five million? Before anything happened to our family, it was just a small amount of money to go to nightclubs a few times."

"Wang Ying, we didn't grow up together. Why couldn't you trust me once when you invested all your savings in him?"

Wang Ying's eyes wandered and she suddenly sighed.

"So, you came here specifically to ask for money from me today?"

Yang Cheng said impatiently: "Yes, I'm just here to ask for money. This is the reality of today's society. I want to start a business, I want to make money, I want to stand up again, and I want to make those who look down on me, Yang Cheng, see See, I can still succeed without relying on my family.”

"There are five thousand yuan here, which is my last savings. Something happened to my dad, and all our family's accounts were frozen. We have no money."

"Five thousand yuan, you are sending the beggar away."

Yang Cheng roughly knocked the cash out of Wang Ying's hand and approached like crazy: "Don't think that I don't know where your money came from. He gave it to you, right? I always thought that you and Ren Siyu were not the same. Same, I didn’t expect him to be a slut too~~~”

Bang, Wang Ying slapped Yang Cheng in the face.

"From today on, we are no longer friends. Don't appear in front of me again in the future."

"nausea!"
