After Divorce, Hidden Marriage Husband Became Addicted to Me-Chapter 579 - 370:

A middle-aged woman, well-maintained though looking unwell due to illness, walked up to Tang Xi draped in a dark green cashmere shawl, "Are you Mengling’s colleagues?"

"Mrs. Ke, did Mengling not come home last night?"

Mrs. Ke had a servant bring tea, then nodded, "Since you are Mengling’s colleagues, please have a seat. Mengling didn’t come back last night; she said she was busy with work. And since Mengling has a small apartment near the company, she sometimes stays there. What brings you looking for her?"

Tang Xi didn’t beat around the bush.

She directly informed Yu Jinlan about Ke Mengling’s situation. Upon hearing the news, Yu Jinlan almost fainted. A servant rushed over, but Tang Xi had already steadied her.

Yu Jinlan took Tang Xi’s hand, "You said, my daughter is now suspected of business theft and is in a detention center, please, take me there."

"Mrs. Ke, we know that Ke Mengling didn’t intend to do this subjectively. Someone threatened her using Ke Company, and she made such a choice for her family’s company. I’ve also found out recently that Enhua Technology Company has received some outside funding as compensation. If Ke Mengling can reveal the mastermind, she could receive a lighter sentence."

"I will persuade her; I will definitely do so!"

Tang Xi drove Yu Jinlan to the detention center.

Upon seeing Yu Jinlan, both Ke Mengling and her mother sobbed and hugged each other.

Yu Jinlan urgently said, "Mengling, just tell them, mom’s begging you."

"Mom, if I do, what about dad’s company? Without that capital injection, the company will go bankrupt, what will you do then? Dad has already started a new family outside, he will definitely divorce you, mom, I don’t want you to be alone."

"But without you, mom will truly be alone!" Yu Jinlan tightly hugged Ke Mengling, "Let the company go bankrupt, I don’t care, mom only has you as a daughter. As long as you’re safe and healthy, mom will be fine."

"Mengling, mom is begging you, please reveal who the instigator is."

Tears shimmered in Ke Mengling’s eyes as she wept uncontrollably in her mother’s embrace, eventually nodding.

She handed over her mobile phone, which still had the call logs with Shu Mengshu.

The police asked, "Do you have any other evidence? Proof that it was Shu Mengshu who instructed you to do this?"

"Yes, I have texts that I sent to her. I deleted them, but they can be technically recovered."

The next morning, Tang Xi received a message from the police confirming that it was Shu Mengshu who coerced and bribed Ke Mengling.

Tang Xi reported the matter to Fu Tingzhou.

"Misdeeds will ultimately destroy one’s self; Shu Mengshu’s wrongdoing will receive its deserved punishment, and I will have the Fu Family’s legal department sue her," Fu Tingzhou’s brow furrowed slightly, "However, we need a few more days because tomorrow night is the birthday celebration of Elder Shu. Before the celebration, we still need to show some respect to Elder Shu."

Tang Xi understood.

"I received the invitation; tomorrow night, please come with me."

The Fu Family and Shu Family, currently the two major families, have a joint collaboration project in the Western Suburb.

And not long ago, Fu Yuanshan just had a brief meeting with Shu Chong’an.

Although the two major families had intensified conflicts, there had recently been news of thawing relations.

Tang Xi, knowing the importance of the matter, naturally understood the critical relationships involved.

The following evening, Fu Tingzhou and Tang Xi arrived at the Shu Family residence.

It was Tang Xi’s first visit here.

The Shu Family’s private estate.

Very Chinese in architectural style.

Every aspect underscored the Shu Family’s absolute power.

Even a roof tile, it was said, was of extraordinary quality.

Today was Shu Chong’an’s 88th birthday.

The guests were global VIPs.

And even entry required passing through security screening equipment, something Tang Xi hadn’t experienced even when attending Grandpa Fu’s birthday party. "Three years ago, Shu Chong’an survived an assassination attempt, though uninjured, it triggered a heart attack and he was hospitalised for two months. Since then, he’s been much more cautious," said Fu Tingzhou.

With such wealth and power, yet ultimately, we all cannot escape our fate.

Birth, aging, sickness, and death— the cycle of karma, nothing can disturb it.

Fu Tingzhou and Tang Xi slowly entered the banquet hall.

Tang Xi had attended many banquets with Fu Tingzhou, but this birthday celebration of Elder Shu was especially astonishing. It was meticulously prepared by Shu Yiming, Elder Shu’s grandson, reportedly intent on hosting a grand event to uplift Elder Shu’s spirits.
