Chapter 192: Shocking and Speechless Results
Chapter 192: Shocking and Speechless Results
The origins of Jiang Xia's money were quickly traced back, as the auction had made headlines in several countries' newspapers and magazines.
A simple phone call to the overseas office confirmed that all the receipts were genuine.
However, there was an anonymous tip-off letter claiming that Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei had taken over a fishing area that a fisherman had applied for. The letter also alleged that the approval process for their contracted sea area was unusually swift, with only their application being approved while others were rejected.
It stated that only Jiang Xia and his group were allowed to fish in that area, and no one else was permitted! It also mentioned that the shipyard gifted Jiang Xia a large ship, the publishing house paid him an unusually high manuscript fee, and the station conductor bought dried fish from him at a high price, among other things.
As the case involved multiple departments and suspicions of oppressing ordinary people and collusion, the investigation was thorough.
The results of the investigation left the Ji Bu officials both speechless and shocked.
They were speechless because it was the first time they had encountered a thief crying 'stop thief!' And they were shocked by the capabilities of his daughter and son-in-law.
Jiang Xia's translated books had sold out quickly in major cities like the Capital City, Hai City, and Sui City. The publishing house's printing department was now working around the clock to meet the demand.
Jiang Xia's translations of scientific magazines were also highly meticulous and accurate. Many scholars preferred his translations, and the publishing house even mentioned that the Academy of Sciences had approached them, wanting to recruit Jiang Xia as a staff member. Although it was just a clerical translation and data organization role, it was not a position that just anyone could obtain. It required genuine talent and connections to secure such an opportunity.
As for catching thieves at the station, he was already aware of it, but he didn't know they had caught so many.
And the shipyard! That was even more impressive. Not only had they brought in orders worth millions for the shipyard, but they had also helped solve two technical challenges for them.
Forget about the ship being a fictitious gift; he thought the shipyard should have given them a ship. Now, they were just offering a discount, and he wondered what the problem was.
Xia Xia had said it was a small favor to the shipyard, but was it really that minor?
Solving the Kent Ring issue could save the country a significant amount of foreign exchange for each ship, and it could bring countless future orders for the shipyard.
Jiang Fu was invited to the Ji Bu that afternoon and left for a business trip the same day, and it was a proud departure.
However, there was evidence of bribery involving another fisherman in the sea area contracting matter, so the investigation had to continue.
The Ji Bu officials kept the matter confidential, so Jiang Mu couldn't gather much information when she inquired. This led everyone to believe that Jiang Fu was still at the Ji Bu.
No one knew that he had already been sent on a business trip to another city by the Ji Bu's car!
Jiang Fu didn't know if the Ji Bu had finished their investigation, so he didn't want to say much. He had mentioned his business trip, but he hadn't expected Jiang Xia to be informed.
Jiang Fu only shared what he could, like the matter with the publishing house and the shipyard.
He looked at Jiang Xia with a smile and said to Jiang Mu, "Our daughter is truly remarkable! Just like me! Haha..."
Jiang Mu smiled and asked, "So, everything is fine now?"
Jiang Fu laughed, "It's fine! If there's a problem, it will only be a good one!"
Jiang Fu enjoyed being investigated, as it was his duty to accept supervision and reports from the people.
How else would they know he was so innocent?
He wouldn't have known how capable his daughter was if they hadn't investigated!
After his visit to the Ji Bu, Jiang Fu not only emerged unscathed but also gained some prestige.
Everyone now knew how formidable his daughter and son-in-law were!
The entire Ji Bu praised him for having such a wonderful daughter and son-in-law.
At that moment, Zhou Chenglei brought out four bowls of noodles on a tray, "Dad, Mom, have something to eat first."
After placing the noodles down, Zhou Chenglei took out a cloth and wiped the Hong Hua You from the corner of Jiang Xia's mouth, "Wipe it off first, and then we'll apply some more medicine after you finish the noodles."
Jiang Xia's chin was no longer as red, and the Hong Hua You oil had mostly been absorbed by her skin, but Zhou Chenglei needed to inform Jiang Fu about it.
Jiang Xia: "..."
Jiang Mu: "..."
Jiang Fu finally reacted, sensing a faint hint of Hong Hua You in the air. He looked at Jiang Xia's chin, which seemed slightly red, and asked, "What happened to Xiaxia?"
Zhou Chenglei: "I don't know! She must have bumped into something. When I came back, I saw her chin was all red, like someone had hit her. So, I applied some medicine. It should be fine by tomorrow."
Jiang Mu's entire body tensed up again!
Embarrassed and uncomfortable.
Regretful beyond words, that's how she felt!
She had been truly enraged at the time!
Jiang Fu hadn't thought much of it, but seeing Jiang Mu's expression, he understood everything.
He was so angry that he almost cursed out loud!
If he hadn't cultivated the ability to remain calm in the face of adversity, he would have scolded her in front of the children!
Jiang Fu gently examined his daughter's face with concern, holding her hand, "Does it still hurt? Dad will boil an egg for you."
He stood up immediately!
Jiang Mu quickly said, "I'll go cook it now."
Zhou Chenglei: "I've already put an egg in the pot to boil. Let's eat noodles first. The noodles are almost overcooked. Xiaxia didn't have dinner, and she came straight here after returning from the sea."
Jiang Fu agreed, "Then let's eat some noodles quickly."
The family sat down at the dining table for their belated dinner.
Under the table, Jiang Xia quietly held Zhou Chenglei's hand, signaling him to stop.
Zhou Chenglei squeezed her hand in response.
He didn't want Jiang Xia to suffer in vain and didn't want her to be wronged again.
He believed that it was natural for parents to educate their children, and physical punishment was not entirely unacceptable. However, they shouldn't hit without understanding the situation first.
As they grew older, they should be even more cautious about hitting, especially not on the face!
As the family ate noodles, Jiang Fu asked Jiang Xia again, "Did Xiaxia and Alei come by car or bicycle?"
Zhou Chenglei: "I didn't come with Xiaxia. I just returned from the sea and heard that something happened at home. Xiaxia went back to her mother's house, so I sailed over."
Jiang Xia: "I came by boat. Brother Alei sailed me here."
"Don't worry next time. Your dad lives an honest life and does things cleanly. I'm not afraid of any investigation, so they can check as much as they want!"
Jiang Mu then remembered that she had called Jiang Dong, "Jiang Dong said he's coming back too."
Jiang Fu frowned, "Are you making the children suffer?"
"I'll call Jiang Dong and tell him not to come back."
Jiang Xia glanced at the time; it was already past eleven.
Jiang Fu also checked the time, "Forget it, it's already eleven. Don't call. That phone isn't in his dorm; it's the public phone in the dorm building. Don't disturb others' sleep. We'll call tomorrow!"
Jiang Mu had no choice but to let it go.
After finishing the noodles and washing up, Jiang Fu and Jiang Mu returned to their room.
Jiang Fu couldn't help but ask, "Did you hit Xiaxia?"
Jiang Mu: "I... I didn't mean to. I already regret it so much. Please don't bring it up again! It won't happen next time! I was just angry at the moment!"
Were they going to keep blaming her all night? Did they need to poke at her lungs repeatedly?
"Next time? There shouldn't be a next time for such a thing! How are you being a mother? Why did you hit Xiaxia? You're making me so angry!"
"Look at what you've done! Don't you worry that Xiaxia will become distant from you?"
