Chapter 526 Qiao He is dead
Chapter 526 Qiao He is dead
Ling Che's brows furrowed deeper as he listened. He pulled the little white cat away from the sleeping nestled on him, took a cigarette from the cigarette box on the coffee table and lit it.
He had long suspected that Zhuang Ce's charity organization was not simple and must be doing some shady business, but he did not expect it to be so large and so shady. He could set up a charity organization under the noses of the Chinese police and engage in human trafficking.
"What about the transaction chain?" he asked.
"According to Director Alvin's investigation, Zhuang Ce mainly provides the 'source of goods' from China, while Ling Xiu De is responsible for transportation costs and routes. They will secretly transport the goods out of China to countries such as Han, Xin, northern Myanmar, and Southeast Asia."
Ling Che bit his cigarette, this made sense.
They were engaging in this shady deal, and as Ling Xiude had said, Ling Zhengqing had too much evidence against them. If the evidence of this deal were to leak, it would be the biggest criminal news in China, and would surely cause chaos and panic.
And they will surely die.
That's why they came up with the plan of killing to silence Ling Zhengqing.
"With Zhuang Ce and Ling Xiu De's abilities, the most they can do is tamper with China." He frowned and asked, "Who will take over after the goods leave the country?"
Qi Jin said, "The shipment was extremely secretive, and the routes were complex. Director Alvin is still investigating, and the key individuals responsible for this transaction have yet to be identified."
Ling Che removed the cigarette from his mouth and slowly blew out smoke rings. A dark and unclear look appeared in his deep eyes. "In other words, the big capitalist behind this hasn't shown up yet."
"Yes," Qi Jin said, "Director Alvin even sent a letter of thanks, saying that our headquarters staff put in a lot of effort in investigating these matters."
Ling Che brushed off the ash from his cigarette and smiled, "Since you're using my people, then tell him that we must share any information."
"Okay, Mr. Ling."
"What about Qiao He?" Ling Che asked.
Qi Jin quickly replied, "According to our investigation, Chairman Qiao was not involved in these transactions. Aside from a few financial transactions between Chairman Qiao and Ling Xiu De some time ago, he has had no further involvement or contact with the two over the years."
Ling Che's eyes narrowed. Qiao He didn't participate?
If he was not involved, then he would have no reason to murder Ling Zhengqing.
No wonder Ling Xiu De said those words on the day he was arrested.
So, it was Zhuang Ce’s plan!
Zhuang Ce knew that he cared about Qiao Ruyi, so he made a fuss about Qiao Ruyi.
It was he who deliberately led Qiao Ruyi to speculate about Qiao He!
Zhuang Ce wanted Qiao Ruyi to believe that Qiao He was the murderer of his father, and thus to believe that she was the daughter of the murderer of his father!
Once they accept this setting, the hatred of their father's murder will separate them, and they will be trapped in an unsolvable knot.
Ling Che's eyes suddenly filled with cruelty. This Zhuang Ce was plotting against them even before his death! He wanted them to torture each other even after death.
There was a sneer on the corner of his lips. Zhuang Ce knew what he cared about, so he wanted to make his life difficult.
As you can imagine, he almost succeeded.
"Mr. Ling?"
Qi Jin's voice on the phone brought Ling Che back to his senses.
He suddenly thought of something, hung up the phone without saying a word, put out the half-burned cigarette in his hand directly into the ashtray, and then strode out.
......
Icy rain lashed against the windows, and a chilly wind bent the branches outside.
"Ah!"
In the quiet ward, Qiao Ruyi smiled coldly, but her eyes couldn't help but turn red. A mist welled up in her eyes, which was forced in when she raised her head.
She looked coldly at the heart rate line that was fluctuating wildly. "Do you really hate me now? You're right to hate me! Because for countless days, I've hated you just like this!"
"You said I have a cruel heart, but in fact, you are the cruelest and most vicious person!"
She pointed at Qiao He, her emotions boiling. "It's you, Qiao He! You killed your wife, treated your daughter harshly, and allowed your mistress and her daughter to bully your daughter. All those years you turned a blind eye and ignored everything. Even if I died, you wouldn't even look at me!"
“If I hadn’t married Ling Che, how could you take me seriously?”
She took a deep breath, looked at the increasingly fluctuating heart rate line, and smiled sarcastically.
"Qiao He, do you think that my sudden change of heart and my closeness to you means I really care about you? Do you think that these days I've been competing with Qiao Ruyuan for your damn fatherly love? Haha! Do you think I care? What I want to take away from you is the entire Qiao Group, the Qiao Group that belongs to my mother!"
She stared at the man lying quietly on the hospital bed. "Qiao He, you're not worthy of being a husband or a father! Ever since I found out that you were responsible for my mother's death and Ling Che's father's death, every time I hug you, I feel sick! Every time I call you 'Dad', I feel like I'm defiling the word. I'm sorry for my mother and Ling Che!"
Her eyes were red, and both her eyes and her voice were filled with intense hatred.
"Qiao He, you're the one who deserves to die the most! If it weren't for you, none of this tragedy would have happened! Now that everyone is dead, why do you still want to live? What gives you the right to want to live?"
Her tears fell and were wiped away proudly.
"Qiao He, only when you die will all of this truly end. What do you think?"
After she finished speaking, the rapidly beating heart rate line struggled for a long time.
After a while, things returned to normal.
The harsh sounds of machines around gradually calmed down.
Qiao Ruyi suddenly caught a glimpse of the hand on the hospital bed trembling slightly for a moment, and then the heart rate line gradually turned into a straight line.
Qiao Ruyi's heart felt like it was suddenly grabbed by someone, but she did not move. She just watched quietly as the line representing Qiao He's vitality turned into a straight line and no longer beat.
It was as if time had stood still.
Her gaze returned to Qiao He's face, as if she saw tears sliding down from the corners of his eyes.
She gently closed her eyes and finally let the tears fall freely.
......
The heart rate line on the machine completely flattens out, meaning the patient's heart has stopped beating.
The person on the hospital bed is no longer alive.
There were thunders outside the window and heavy rain was pouring down, as if to wash away all traces of the unbearable things.
The white and slender fingers slowly stretched out to the bedside bell and pressed it.
In an instant, hurried footsteps sounded in the corridor outside the ward.
Doctors and nurses in white coats rushed in quickly, pushing rescue equipment. Qiao Ruyi slowly stood up from the bed, without even a glance, and walked out quietly.
Ten minutes later, the ward door opened again.
The doctor announced Qiao He's death to her with a heavy heart.
Qiao Ruyi lowered her eyes to look at the ground and just nodded slightly.
She suddenly felt a little tired and wanted to go back to sleep.
"Miss Qiao."
Seeing that she looked bad, the doctor said, "My condolences."
Sad?
Qiao Ruyi didn't know.
She just felt like she had no strength at this moment.
If everything she had done before was supported by her hatred for Qiao He, then at this moment, her hatred for Qiao He seemed to be taken away with his death.
She seemed unable to hate anymore.
I can’t say whether I feel sad or not, I just feel a little breathless.
