83: Chapter 83 Wang Hongtai's Questioning

In an office building in the CBD of Shenjiang New Area in the Magic City, Wang Hongtai, the chairman of Hongtai Construction, was sitting upright at the head of the conference table, communicating with executives from various company departments and the relevant heads of the financial auditing firm responsible for the company's listing affairs.

The atmosphere of the meeting was tense and serious, and everyone was fully focused, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

Just then, an abrupt ringtone interrupted the report from the financial audit staff.

Wang Hongtai frowned and glanced at the caller ID with displeasure; it was the maid at home.

He thought to himself: 'What could be so urgent to call at this time?'

So, he hung up the phone without hesitation.

Just as the staff member was about to continue the report, the ringtone seemed to be working against him, ringing again persistently; it was still the number of the maid at home.

A wave of helplessness rose in Wang Hongtai's heart.

He nodded apologetically to the heads of the financial audit firm and said in a low voice: "Sorry, I need to take a call."

Afterwards, he stood up, walked out of the conference room, and answered the phone.

"What is it?" Wang Hongtai's voice carried a few traces of anger, and he said impolitely.

On the other end of the line, the maid's voice sounded a bit panicked, and she briefly reported to Wang Hongtai about the police coming to look for Wang Hao earlier.

Hearing the word "police," Wang Hongtai's heart sank suddenly.

He couldn't help but curse inwardly: 'This brat, he really treated my words as wind in his ears! I clearly warned him not to cause trouble during this time, but he ended up attracting the police!'

However, considering that there were people from the audit firm waiting in the conference room, he had to suppress the anger in his heart and responded with feigned calmness: "Okay, I know."

After hanging up the phone, Wang Hongtai took a deep breath, trying to adjust his emotions; the most important thing right now was the company's listing, and everything else had to make way for this!

Thinking this through, he tidied his clothes and walked back into the conference room with a smile, acting as if nothing had happened.

Half an hour later, the meeting finally ended.

After Wang Hongtai personally sent off the group from the financial audit firm, he returned to his office.

Upon returning to his office, Wang Hongtai immediately locked the door and pulled the privacy curtains of the windows tightly shut.

He stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, took out his phone, and dialed his rebellious son Wang Hao's number without hesitation, his eyes flickering with complex emotions, containing both anger and worry.

Meanwhile, Wang Hao was immersed on the large bed in the luxury suite of the Sheraton Hotel, entangled with Su Mo, enjoying a moment of pleasure.

For the past two days, Su Mo's mood had been like a roller coaster.

She thought she had grasped a life-saving straw, but who knew, she tried to contact Qin Yi countless times, only for it to be like a stone sinking into the sea; text messages went unanswered, and calls were always busy.

At that moment, Su Mo finally understood that she had been completely blocked by Qin Yi, and the hope in her heart shattered like a bubble.

Just as Su Mo was disheartened, Wang Hao called her again, asking to meet at the Sheraton Hotel.

Su Mo understood in her heart that this was just another desire-driven attempt by Wang Hao to sleep with her.

She wanted to decline on the grounds of feeling unwell, but Wang Hao's threats were like a sharp sword hanging over her head, forcing her to submit.

Those erotic videos and photos, once made public, would completely destroy her life.

With no other choice, Su Mo had to agree.

At this moment, the room was filled with an amorous atmosphere.

Wang Hao and Su Mo were naked, and Wang Hao was working hard on Su Mo, as if trying to vent all his dissatisfaction and desires.

Su Mo lay half-prone on the bed, eyes tightly closed, tears sliding from the corners of her eyes; her heart was filled with mixed feelings, hating herself, and even more, hating Wang Hao.

Suddenly, a harsh ringtone broke the amorous atmosphere.

Wang Hao's phone rang incessantly like a death knell: 'That grandson is calling you again! That grandson is calling you again!'

The ringtone rang over and over, but Wang Hao was at a critical moment and ignored it entirely.

Finally, five minutes later, Wang Hao was panting heavily, lying on Su Mo's back, and angrily said: "Damn it, which blind idiot keeps calling me and ruining my mood!"

Wang Hao turned over and lay on the bed, reaching out to touch the phone on the nightstand, only to see that there were thirty or forty missed calls.

His heart tightened, and when he saw the caller's name, he immediately sat up from the bed, the anger on his face instantly replaced by panic.

Just then, the phone rang again, and without giving Wang Hao time to think, he immediately answered, his voice sounding a bit timid: "Hello... Dad, what's up?"

On the other end of the line, Wang Hongtai's voice came through like thunder: "Wang Hao! What kind of trouble have you caused again?"

Hearing his father's man-eating roar, Wang Hao's heart trembled violently, and the fatigue from the recent battle instantly disappeared.

He hurriedly wiped the sweat from his forehead, trying to make his voice sound calm: "Dad, what are you talking about? I didn't cause any trouble?"

Although he tried his best to hide it, a trace of panic in his tone still revealed his nervousness.

"You didn't cause trouble?! Then why did the police go to the house to look for you?" Wang Hongtai's voice came through the phone like a cold blade, questioning sternly.

Wang Hao's heart was immediately filled with an ominous premonition; he was somewhat panicked and also somewhat guilty.

He secretly wondered, could it be that the police had found out about the night he taught Qin Yi a lesson?

That shouldn't be; he had already paid two million, and Brother Dao had promised to let it go; his subordinates shouldn't be biting back at him...

Thinking of this, a flash of doubt and anxiety crossed his eyes.

"You know what you have done yourself!" Wang Hongtai's voice came again, carrying unquestionable majesty, "I warn you, it's fortunate that the police went to the house to look for you today. If they had come to the company, in front of those people from the financial audit firm, do you know what kind of bad influence it would have on the company?! I warn you again, if the company's listing is hindered because of you, I will skin you alive!"

Hearing this, Wang Hao felt a wave of bitterness for no reason.

He knew his father's temper; once it involved the company, he would absolutely not be soft-hearted.

He felt somewhat helpless and somewhat aggrieved; after all, he was Wang Hongtai's own son.

He couldn't help but say: "Dad! Am I still your son! Is there any father who threatens his son like this?"

Speaking of this, Wang Hao's eyes were even a bit moist, and his voice carried a few traces of choking.

Su Mo, curled up in the corner of the bed, witnessed the drastic change in Wang Hao's expression while answering the phone, and could not help but feel a surge of unease.

Although she didn't know exactly what had happened, out of instinct, she felt that she should stay away from Wang Hao at this time.

She was afraid that after Wang Hao was angered, he would vent his anger on her.

So, she carefully picked up her clothes, trying not to make any sound, so as not to disturb Wang Hao, who was on the phone.

She slipped into the bathroom on tiptoe, gently closed the door, as if this could isolate her from danger.

Meanwhile, in the lobby of the Sheraton Hotel, Shen Jianan and the police officer from before walked quickly to the front desk.

After showing her ID to the front desk, Shen Jianan asked: "Hello, please check, do you have a guest named Wang Hao who checked in?"

Facing the police's inquiry, the hotel front desk was naturally very cooperative.

The Young Miss at the front desk was a bit nervous, but still quickly searched the System, and then responded in a slightly trembling voice: "Yes, officer. The guest booked a luxury king room, room number is 8818, and there is also a lady staying with him, named Su Mo."

Shen Jianan nodded, said "Thank you," and called her subordinate to walk toward the elevator.

Seeing the police leave, the two Young Misses at the front desk began to whisper.

The Young Miss at the front desk who had just checked the registration record watched the elevator door slowly close, and said with curiosity and worry: "Could the police be here to arrest for prostitution?"

The other one shook her head, not quite believing it: "No way, those two look like a couple... What kind of Young Miss comes to a hotel to sell and voluntarily registers her ID card..."

"That's true..." The first Young Miss nodded thoughtfully, then said with some doubt, "However, are those two really a couple? That man looks so sleazy, and that woman is quite pretty, how could she take a fancy to him?"

The second Young Miss disdainfully clicked her tongue: "Tch, what's so strange about that. What's the use of a man looking good? The point is to have money. Didn't you see the key the man took when he came? A Maserati! That kind of woman, you can tell at a glance that she is going for money. Let alone that the man looks sleazy, even if he were a seventy or eighty-year-old man, as long as he has money, that woman would still 'lick' him without hesitation."

"Is that so, your eyesight is quite good, I didn't notice it at all..." The first Young Miss looked at her colleague with some admiration, and then the two continued to whisper, seemingly full of interest in such matters.

Before long, Shen Jianan and her subordinate stood outside room 8818.

The subordinate listened with his ear against the door and could hear the sound of talking in the room and the splashing water in the bathroom.

He turned to report to Shen Jianan: "Captain Shen, there is someone in the room!"

Shen Jianan nodded and gave a look to her male subordinate.

The subordinate understood, immediately knocked on the door, and then shouted loudly into the room: "Wang Hao, I am a police officer from the Public Security Brigade of the Waitan Police Station, Shenjiang Branch. I want to ask you about some situations, please open the door!"

At this time, Wang Hao was still on the phone with his father, and hearing the police voice outside the door, he panicked even more.

He nervously asked Wang Hongtai for help on the phone: "It's over, it's over, Dad, the police have really come to the door."

Su Mo was taking a shower in the bathroom at this time, and hearing the police voice outside the door, she was also panicked.

She immediately turned off the shower, hurriedly wiped her body dry, put on her underwear, and then put on her dress, then listened quietly to the movement in the room, her heart full of unease and doubt.

"What are you panicking about! You brat, you play with women, that's fine, at worst you pay money to settle it! You actually learned to hire someone to hurt others. If the company cannot be listed because of your mess this time, we both will have to drink northwest wind!"

After reprimanding his rebellious son, Wang Hongtai thought for a while, and then instructed: "I warn you, when the police ask you anything later, don't talk nonsense, remember to be polite in your attitude, but no matter what they ask, you just pretend you don't know anything. If the police force you, just say if there is anything, contact the company's lawyer."

Having received his father's promise, Wang Hao immediately felt reassured.

He hung up the phone immediately, hurriedly put on his clothes, his fingers trembling slightly due to nervousness, but he still tried to maintain composure.

After everything was packed, the male police officer's voice outside the door sounded again, and Wang Hao pretended to have just heard it, and responded impatiently: "Coming, coming..."
