Chapter 364: Evidence

The fact that they had found out such a thing meant that Fu Ting’s company was no longer impregnable.

He had been away from Liancheng for so long, perhaps that place had already fallen apart. No wonder the assistant whom he had sent to take charge of the company had not contacted him for so long. Instead, Lian Jing received news from that branch more quickly than he did.

Old Master Lian silently looked at the accounts in his hand. When he was young, he had seen all kinds of people who had taken the wrong path and tried to gain huge profits through improper means. Without exception, things had ended badly for them.

They had either been brought to justice and were still in prison, or they had lost their lives, leaving behind orphans and widows who would continue to pay for their sins, never able to make a comeback.

However, he never expected such a thing would happen to his grandson.

Old Master Lian angrily flung the accounts aside and pointed at Fu Ting with a trembling finger. He was so angry that his mustache quivered as he glared at Fu Ting. “You unfilial boy! Tell me! What have you done over there? Tell me honestly now, and I can still ask your cousin try his best to protect you!”

“Grandpa!” Fu Ting knelt down with tears streaming down his face. He knelt in front of Old Master Lian with a stubborn look. “You can’t just believe his side of the story. I didn’t do anything bad. Someone deliberately framed me!”

“I’m not so old that I can’t tell if someone has framed you!” Old Master Lian closed his eyes and let him pick up the account book from the the ground. He took a deep breath and said, “Then explain yourself. What did you use all this money for?”

“I…” Fu Ting looked at Lian Jing in panic. He did not know how much evidence Lian Jing had gathered, but now he had to try his best to placate the Old Master.

After thinking about it, Fu Ting made up his mind. He frowned and said, “I-I used this money to order some medical equipment from overseas. Then, I sold it to the hospitals. I’m doing a good deed! The price of medical equipment in our country is high, so many people cannot afford treatment!”

The more he spoke, the more confident he grew of his explanation. There was a strange look in his eyes. He even boldly reached out to hold Old Master Lian’s hand and beg for mercy. “Grandpa, those machines I bought were very cheap, but the quality is the same as the ones in China. Grandpa, believe me, I really didn’t do anything illegal!”

Old Master Lian opened his eyes slightly and looked at his weeping grandson.

His heart still ached, but this was no trivial matter. He could not forgive Fu Ting so easily. He could only raise his head and look at Lian Jing. “Little Jing, what else have you found? You might as well tell me everything. If that’s all, then Little Ting just needs to stop what he’s doing.”

Lian Jing knew that Old Master Lian would not casually decide to punish Fu Ting.

Over the past few years, he had chased Fu Ting to Liancheng, but Old Master Lian had missed this grandson. Besides, Old Master Lian was old now and just wanted to enjoy his family. Otherwise, he would not have accepted Shen Nian so easily.

However, there was a price to pay for doing something wrong. The Lian family’s hard-earned empire must not be lost due to Fu Ting’s actions.

He looked at Old Master Lian with a serious expression. He had not mentioned this matter rashly, after obtaining just one account book.

His goal today was to end the battle quickly so that he could bring Shen Yin and Nian Nian back to the Lian family as soon as possible.

“Grandpa.” Lian Jing walked to Old Master Lian’s side and looked down at Fu Ting, who was still kneeling on the ground. He took the second piece of evidence from Zhong Xin. “These are the buyers of his so-called cheap medical equipment. Cousin, which of these people work in the hospital?”

Old Master Lian suddenly frowned and hurriedly took the order record from him to take a closer look.

Fu Ting was not stupid. He knew that this business was risky. To prevent those people from exposing him, every time he made a transaction, he would make them leave some evidence behind. Some were fingerprints, and others were signatures.

Fu Ting did this as a precaution. If they were raided and were questioned as to where the medical equipment had come from, they would not expose Fu Ting. However, it was also an opportunity for Lian Jing to trip him up.

Old Master Lian looked at the irregular contracts and the handwriting of those people who had signed them. He immediately understood who Fu Ting had sold these medical equipment to. Rage surged within him and he almost fainted.

Zhong Xin and Lian Jing supported Old Master Lian from either side, or he would have fallen.

At this point, Fu Ting could no longer argue. He buried his head in the Old Master’s lap and wailed. “Grandpa, I wasn’t thinking clearly. Actually, I didn’t know why those people wanted those things. I only know that they were very profitable! I know that what I did was wrong!”

“Shut up! You beast!” Old Master Lian was so angry that his face turned red. He panted heavily and fainted after shouting..
