Chapter 119 Zheng's Father's Suspicion: Could Those Internet Companies Be Zheng Jie's?

After confirming his guilty plea and acceptance of punishment, Father Zheng was transferred from the Detention Center to Prison. Although it sounds similar, the conditions in Prison are actually slightly better than those in the Detention Center.

That afternoon, Mrs. Zheng came to the Prison visitation room to meet with Father Zheng. As for Zheng Tian, he didn't come along this time. After all, Zheng Tian's current emotional state is quite unstable, and the doctors have advised against letting him go out unless necessary. If the outside environment were to trigger Zheng Tian and cause another episode, it could be very dangerous.

Mrs. Zheng felt the doctor's words made a lot of sense, so she came alone this time.

"Hasn't Zheng Tian been discharged from the Hospital yet? It's been such a long time."

Seeing that Zheng Tian hadn't come this time, Father Zheng asked with a tone of curiosity. Hearing this, Mrs. Zheng sighed.

"Something happened to Zheng Tian."

Hearing this, Father Zheng's heart skipped a beat. After all, this was his most valued eldest son. Although he felt somewhat displeased with Zheng Tian at times, the love in his heart was still there, so he furrowed his brows tightly.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Father Zheng's voice trembled as he spoke.

"Sigh, because he underwent a castration surgery, Zheng Tian has been emotionally unstable lately. I asked a doctor to examine him and found that he now has bipolar disorder, so I didn't let him come this time."

Bipolar disorder?

Hearing this, Father Zheng's expression turned ugly.

"Then… how is he being treated now?"

"What else can be done? Under the current circumstances, we can only let the doctors treat him. Moreover, we dare not let Zheng Tian know. If he finds out, it will be bad if he loses control. Look at this scar on my face; it was caused by Zheng Tian when he lost control of his emotions."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Zheng felt deeply aggrieved. Although she knew her son had a mental illness, thinking about how her eldest son, whom she cherished as her own life, had smashed her with a mobile phone and left a scar on her face made her heart cold. It made her feel that all those years of companionship had been in vain. Honestly, it was normal for her to have such thoughts.

After all, what mother wouldn't have mixed feelings after being treated like that by her own son? Hearing this, Father Zheng sighed.

"Then…"

"Sigh, it's been hard on you."

At this moment, Mrs. Zheng's eyes were red, as if she were on the verge of tears.

Now she had to shoulder everything alone, with no one to confide in regarding the bitterness in her heart.

"Did the doctor say if it can be cured?"

"The doctor said… they can only try their best."

In reality, when a doctor says such things, it proves that it is already impossible. This illness stems from him becoming a eunuch, and with current medical technology, it is absolutely impossible to reverse. Since the root of the psychological trauma cannot be treated successfully, the resulting bipolar disorder is even more impossible to cure.

Hearing this, Father Zheng sighed.

"This…"

"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. We can only take it one step at a time. By the way, the loans from the Bank have been paid off, and the fines from the relevant departments have also been settled. Currently, there is still about 9 billion left in the Bank account."

Mrs. Zheng briefly explained the current situation. Although this money was a drop in the bucket compared to their family's past, it must be said that being able to keep this much was not bad at all—at the very least, it was much better than the Su Family.

"How is the Zheng Group doing now?"

Honestly, Father Zheng was still cursing Zheng Jie in his heart. He wished for the Zheng Group to have problems so that Zheng Jie would fall into ruin. This line of thinking was understandable; no one wants to see their enemy doing better and better, especially when they themselves are doing worse and worse. Hearing this, Mrs. Zheng sighed.

"It's normal. There are no other problems. I heard that their subsidiary, the Zhengfeng Group, is developing better and better, almost monopolizing the current new energy vehicle battery market. Its market value has approached 600 billion, and once the overseas market is opened up, the market value is expected to exceed one trillion."

Hearing this, Father Zheng definitely felt uncomfortable, but this was reality. Things wouldn't go wrong for others just because you said so. Even for Zheng Jie, it required careful planning to make someone else suffer.

"Really, this guy just got lucky. I just don't understand why these Internet companies would support Zheng Jie. I treated them well, too."

Father Zheng really couldn't understand this issue. Often, Father Zheng could figure other things out, but he could never get this one clear. Hearing this, Mrs. Zheng looked at him.

"I also find this matter a bit strange."

"Under normal circumstances, since the other party did such a big thing, Zheng Jie would definitely need to give them some promises and rewards, but the Zheng Group currently hasn't made any moves."

At this moment, Father Zheng furrowed his brows.

"Not even a single move?"

"None. The shares of the Internet companies remain the same, and the dividend ratios haven't changed at all. They just took on the projects that the Su Group didn't want, but strictly speaking, this could also be considered as these companies helping out."

Father Zheng also felt this matter was a bit strange. Under normal circumstances, how could such a thing happen? Thinking of this, a thought suddenly appeared in Father Zheng's mind.

"Do you think there's a possibility?"

"What?"

"That the actual controller of these Internet companies is also Zheng Jie?"

Hearing this, Mrs. Zheng shook her head.

"How is that possible? The market value of these Internet companies combined exceeds 5 trillion. How could Zheng Jie possibly own so many companies?"

Mrs. Zheng felt this was completely impossible. Although Zheng Jie was indeed quite capable—after all, if he weren't, he would never have been able to take down the current Zheng Group—but to say he could build several large Internet companies was typical wishful thinking.

"Is it really impossible?"

At this moment, Father Zheng raised his head and looked at Mrs. Zheng in front of him.

"Yes, it's definitely impossible. It's not like you don't know how exaggerated the market value of these Internet companies is. Our Zheng Group is only equivalent to the size of two or three of them. You're saying that in such a short time, how could Zheng Jie have so many companies? So, that's absolutely impossible. I guess Zheng Jie must have given them some shady benefits."

Father Zheng listened to this and lowered his head, deep in thought.

Is it really like that?

But if that's the case, then why would these companies support Zheng Jie?

Just at this moment, Father Zheng suddenly realized something.

"If I remember correctly, these companies were established one after another within the last five years, right?"

"Yes."

"Think about it. Five years ago, Zheng Jie came here. And after he arrived, these companies were established one after another. Could it really have nothing to do with Zheng Jie? I don't think that's realistic. If these companies belong to Zheng Jie, or if there are shares of Zheng Jie in these companies, then it is understandable for these companies to choose to support Zheng Jie."

Hearing this, Mrs. Zheng furrowed her brows.

Although what he said made some sense, the matter was simply too exaggerated. Mrs. Zheng felt it was still impossible.

"But… how did he do it?"

"I don't know. How about this: help me check all the investment companies behind these firms. I think if that's the case, there will definitely be traces."

At this moment, Father Zheng took a deep breath.

Actually, even if she found out, it wouldn't be of much use now. But Father Zheng just wanted to figure out what was going on. Why were those Internet companies so supportive of Zheng Jie?

"Alright, I'll check it after I go out."

"Hmm, has the divorce matter been settled?"

"Not yet. We are not considering filing for divorce for now. Zheng Tian's condition is bad, and he is in no state to obtain a divorce certificate, so we have to delay it for some time. However, the Su Family isn't in a rush either."

Mrs. Zheng sighed. At this time, they could only delay, but she estimated the Su Family would urge them in a few days. Currently, Mrs. Zheng was considering that if the other party urged them, they should choose to file for divorce through litigation, so her son wouldn't have to appear in person.

"Alright."

"In any case, everything outside depends on you."

Hearing this, Mrs. Zheng sighed.

"It's okay, I should be able to hold on. But you must also take care of yourself in here."

"Okay."

After saying this last sentence, Mrs. Zheng saw that the time was about up, stood up, and turned to leave. Watching her retreating figure, Father Zheng felt a sense of guilt in his heart.

After all, he was currently inside and couldn't help with anything.
