My Sexy CEO Wife-Chapter 124 - 123 Destruction of Evidence

A few minutes later, an old friend made a phone call.

"How's it going?" Dongfang Fengyun pressed the answer button and asked anxiously, "Did you find out? Why did they take my son?"

"Things are a bit tricky," the old friend sighed, speaking in a heavy tone, "Dongfang Jian is suspected of hiring a hitman to commit murder, and the evidence is conclusive... Once the charges stick, Dongfang Jian will go to jail."

"Hiring a hitman to commit murder?" Dongfang Fengyun was completely stunned.

"Yes, hiring a hitman to commit murder," the old friend said, "The whistleblower provided a recording pen and three hitmen, there are both human and material evidence; this time... Dongfang Jian is probably... unable to escape doom..."

A recording pen? Hitmen? Dongfang Fengyun's expression slowly turned grim, so it was Gao Fei who was orchestrating this behind the scenes! You despicable traitor, you'll definitely not die a good death!

"Dongfang brother, are you still listening?" the old friend asked.

"Listening, I'm listening," Dongfang Fengyun let out a deep breath slowly, "I can't just watch my son go to jail! I must save him!" He paused for a moment, "No matter the cost, I must save him!"

"I understand how you feel," the old friend said, "but... it's really complicated..."

"Old friend, can you come back for a bit? I want to talk to you in person."

"Okay, I'll come back tomorrow."

"Good, I'll wait for you."

After they agreed on a time to meet, both parties ended the call.

After pondering for a moment, Dongfang Fengyun picked up his phone and dialed Gao Fei. As soon as the call was connected, Dongfang Fengyun started cursing furiously, "Gao Fei, you faithless scoundrel! You're a bastard, a complete and utter bastard! You had clearly promised me, as long as I went to ask Su Zhentian for money, you would let my son go, how could you break your word!"

"Did you get the money?" Gao Fei said indifferently.

"What?"

"Did you get the money? The over twenty billion you're owed by Su Zhentian, did you get it!"

"...I'm in the process of getting it..."

"So you didn't get it?" Gao Fei chuckled coldly, "We had an agreement. You get the money, I destroy the recording pen and let your son go. But... you didn't do it, so I don't have to keep my word either."

"That's utterly outrageous!" Dongfang Fengyun was trembling with anger.

"I'm busy right now and don't have time to chat with you, that's all," Gao Fei hung up the call directly.

"Bang!"

Dongfang Fengyun smashed his phone to the ground, and the phone worth tens of thousands shattered, "This pisses me off! It infuriates me!!!" Dongfang Fengyun's eyes were bloodshot, and his hair stood on end. At this moment, he was like a ferocious beast that had lost its reason.

"Crash..."

"Bang bang bang..."

Dongfang Fengyun threw everything he could and trashed the room; his luxurious and tidy office was instantly a mess. Anyone unfamiliar with the situation would think it had been robbed.

"Puff... Puff..."

Dongfang Fengyun collapsed onto the floor, gasping for air. After venting for a while, he gradually calmed down, "This can't just end like this! Gao Fei, just you wait, as long as I live, I will never let you off!" Dongfang Fengyun had never hated someone so much!

...

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, it was the next afternoon.

The old friend, weary from travel, rushed back from out of town and made a beeline to see Dongfang Fengyun.

"Dongfang brother, I'm back," the old friend wiped the sweat from his brow, "It really took a toll on me! The journey involved taking planes, trains, poor food, uncomfortable sleep, it was so taxing. If there's another business trip next time, I'm definitely giving my spot to someone else."

Now, let's formally introduce this old friend. His real name is "Chen Yongsheng," a native of Bright Pearl City. His parents are teachers, and he comes from a relatively affluent family. After graduating from college, he joined a large corporation and, over ten years later, he became a corporate executive leader, making him quite an influential figure in Bright Pearl City.

His greatest strength is networking; over the years, he has made many friends at various events, including quite a few who are high-ranking and influential figures.

Chen Yongsheng met Dongfang Fengyun at a social gathering, and the two hit it off. Gradually, they became close friends who could talk about anything and everything.

"Old Chen, I know you're full of ideas. Please, think of something fast to save my son," Dongfang Fengyun placed a steaming cup of tea in front of Chen Yongsheng.

Chen Yongsheng shook his head and smiled wryly, "I really want to help your son, but... it's just too difficult..."

"What's so difficult about it?" Dongfang Fengyun asked.

"Evidence," Chen Yongsheng replied without hesitation. "The police investigation emphasizes evidence, and it must be complete with testimonies and physical proof. Without one, the case won't hold." At this point, Chen Yongsheng sighed, "In the end, it's all because your son was too careless and left behind a fatal mistake."

"What if the evidence disappeared?" Dongfang Fengyun slowly said, "Wouldn't my son be out of trouble then?"

"Ah?" Chen Yongsheng was stunned.

"Answer me, is it not the case?" Dongfang Fengyun pressed.

Chen Yongsheng blinked, "In theory, that's correct... but..."

"But what?"

"It's impossible! The recording pen and the three hitmen are under police control, they couldn't possibly just disappear."

A cold smile played at the corners of Dongfang Fengyun's mouth, "In this world, nothing is impossible." As he said this, Dongfang Fengyun took out a cheque from his jacket pocket and gently placed it on the coffee table, "This is for you."

"For me?" Chen Yongsheng looked down at the cheque then his pupils constricted—fifty million! A full fifty million! Yes, fifty million! Chen Yongsheng found it difficult to move his gaze away from the cheque, then looked up at Dongfang Fengyun with a serious expression, "What do you mean by this?"

"Help me destroy the evidence, and this fifty million is the deposit," Dongfang Fengyun said softly. "After the job is done, I will give you another fifty million."

Another fifty million? That's a hundred million? Chen Yongsheng's face twitched uncontrollably at the thought. That was a hundred million! He couldn't earn that much even if he worked ten lifetimes. He was tempted, truly tempted, but...

the risk of taking this hundred million was too great.

Chen Yongsheng was severely conflicted internally, unsure of how to make his choice.

"Old Chen, I've already planned your way out," Dongfang Fengyun said. "After destroying the evidence, you take the money and go live abroad. Change your name, find a secluded place to hide, and no one will ever find you."

Chen Yongsheng remained silent.

"Old Chen, you've done quite a few bad things over the years," Dongfang Fengyun continued. "As the saying goes, no wall is impenetrable. Who knows, one day your deeds might be exposed, and then you'll be waiting for a life behind bars. Instead of living every day in fear, wouldn't it be better to go abroad and start anew?"

Chen Yongsheng's expression changed.

"Why do you work yourself to death every day? Don't tell me it's to give back to society! I know you're not that noble! You just want a secure job to live a peaceful life. If you ask me, working for others is really too hard.

It's not only exhausting but also demeaning." Dongfang Fengyun said while observing Chen Yongsheng's reactions, "Rather than living such a weary life, it's better to be a wealthy man abroad. Your son has grown up too; he'll be marrying soon. Nowadays, getting married costs a lot. You need to buy a house, a car, and provide a generous dowry... No offense, but with your salary, it won't be enough...

You wouldn't want to see your son resent you, right? And your wife, who's suffered along with you for so many years, deserves to enjoy some comfort."

Each of Dongfang Fengyun's words struck a chord in Chen Yongsheng's heart.

It has to be said that Dongfang Fengyun had a keen grasp on human nature, knowing exactly what to say to move Chen Yongsheng, making it impossible for him to refuse.

Chen Yongsheng opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end, he couldn't utter a single word. Clearly, he was still hesitant.

"I also have a villa abroad, I'll give it to you as well," Dongfang Fengyun said generously. "Once you're abroad, if you encounter any difficulties, contact me directly, and I'll make sure they're resolved."

"Fine! I agree!" Chen Yongsheng took a deep breath. "I'll help you destroy that evidence!" After carefully weighing the situation for a moment, Chen Yongsheng finally made up his mind.

He decided to help Dongfang Fengyun for two reasons: first, the offer was too good to turn down, and second, he really had done a lot of bad things over the years and feared eventual exposure, which is what ultimately drove his decision.

"I knew you would agree," Dongfang Fengyun smiled.

"Wait for my good news," Chen Yongsheng said as he picked up the cheque and left.

Dongfang Fengyun exhaled a long breath of turbid air, "Finally settled! A hundred million to ensure my son's safety is a worthwhile deal."

In the time that followed, Dongfang Fengyun stayed at home awaiting news. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

A day later, Chen Yongsheng called him.

"The testimonies and physical evidence have all been dealt with, the police have no evidence, so they can't detain your son any longer. In other words, your son is safe," he said.

"Thank you," Dongfang Fengyun expressed his gratitude.

"I'm about to take a flight abroad. Unless something unexpected happens, it's unlikely we'll meet again in this lifetime. Take care, old friend! Goodbye!" Chen Yongsheng ended the call.

Dongfang Fengyun slowly put down his phone, his tense mood completely relaxed, "Finally resolved."

...

Just as Chen Yongsheng had said, without evidence, the police could no longer detain Dongfang Jian, and they ultimately had to release him.

The recording pen was destroyed under strict police custody, and the three witnesses were poisoned to death, a disgrace, a profound disgrace! The police leadership was furious and ordered a thorough investigation, vowing to follow through regardless of who was involved.

It didn't take long for the police to uncover the truth: It was Chen Yongsheng who had destroyed the recording pen and poisoned the hitmen. By the time the police were ready to arrest him, they discovered that Chen Yongsheng had already fled abroad. Powerless, the police issued an international warrant for his arrest. As to whether they could capture Chen Yongsheng, that remained an unknown.
