The boss is chasing after the chaebol’s ex-wife, but you can’t afford it

Shen Jingjue sat upright next to Lin Che, without showing any emotion, but in his heart he admired this low-key man.

You have to know that he is naturally aloof and arrogant, and there are not many people in the world that he can admire.

If he could make a smooth transition from this disaster and return to Shen's, he would definitely personally take charge and sincerely hire Lin Che as the legal advisor of Shen's Group. He could easily ask for an annual salary.

Sure enough, after a series of questioning, Luo Ji's expression gradually stiffened and he gasped angrily.

He was outmaneuvered.

"You can ask my people to come over for questioning, or even suspect him, that's fine. But any case must be handled in accordance with one principle - procedural justice."

Lin Che's eyes were calm, revealing the powerful aura of a chief judge. "But, if you can't produce evidence to prove that my client did take drugs, bought drugs, or can't find new witnesses, then you can only lock him up for 24 hours at most."

The police officer was not convinced and said angrily: "He is a big tycoon. He wants to get this kind of thing through illegal channels. Of course, no one knows about it. He is surrounded by his cronies who are willing to work for him. They must have colluded with him long ago!"

Luo Ji glared at the police officer and shouted, "Shut up!"

"So you really have no evidence. There's nothing to say."

Lin Che smiled, "If you want to check the people around Mr. Shen, then go ahead. As for how to check and whether you can find the truth, that's your police business, don't ask me.

If you want to detain me for the full 24 hours, I will stay with my client until the end. But please give me a cup of coffee, no sugar, no milk, thank you."

……

Luo Ji was furious and returned to the office angrily.

Then, I received bad news from my subordinates——

The surveillance footage of Shen Jingjue Group’s office, where Crystal Ice was found, was unexpectedly deleted. Nothing was captured and it couldn’t be restored!

Now, it becomes a mystery whether the drugs were placed in the office by Shen Jingjue or someone framed them and secretly placed them in his office.

Little did they know that behind this, it was Tang Qiaoer who got there first and made the smart move.

She notified Han Xian immediately and completely deleted the surveillance in Shen Jingjue's office. Whether it was beneficial to him or not, all of it had to be destroyed.

The police had to cut off all clues and could not accuse Shen Jingjue of hiding drugs.

Otherwise, the crime will be aggravated.

Just as Luo Ji was getting anxious, a police officer hurried in:

"Captain Luo, someone is looking for you outside!"

"I was busy, didn't you see it? It's not urgent, you guys handle it!"

"He said he was a witness. He could prove that Shen Jingjue took drugs!"

Luo Ji's eyes suddenly lit up and he ran out of the office.

In the corridor, stood a panicked middle-aged man, holding a brown paper document bag tightly in his hand.

"Are you the witness?" Luo Ji stepped forward with a friendly look.

"Yes……"

The middle-aged man's voice tightened, "I am the attending physician who treated Mr. Shen when he was hospitalized a few days ago. My name is Wang Qi.

This is Mr. Shen’s diagnosis report and blood test report.”

Luo Ji took the file bag, opened it, pulled out the report inside and looked at it carefully.

"Mr. Shen's blood contains methamphetamine..."

Luo Ji's pupils shrank!

He was very familiar with this ingredient; it was also found in Ice X!

Wang Qi was silent for a moment, then lowered his voice, "And, if I'm not mistaken, Mr. Shen was hospitalized because he had a strong withdrawal reaction. Because he didn't take the medicine in time...his body couldn't bear it. I don't know, does this count as evidence?"

"Doctor Wang, thank you very much for the evidence you provided and thank you for cooperating with our police in investigating the case!" Luo Ji shook hands with him vigorously, his face full of joy.

At the same time, at the corner of the corridor——

Tang Feng leaned against the wall and heard the conversation between the two clearly.

He was furious, clenched his teeth fiercely, took out his cell phone, and sent a message to Tang Qiaoer:

[Qiaoqiao, the situation has changed! I can't interfere with the case, but this time, you must save Jingjue! ]

……

Another hour passed.

Luo Ji returned to the interrogation room in a high-handed manner and slammed the blood report provided by Wang Qi in front of Shen Jingjue and Lin Che.

"This is new evidence provided by your attending physician. There are substances in your blood that are only produced by taking drugs!"

Lin Che's expression suddenly changed, and he immediately picked up the report and read it carefully.

But Shen Jingjue seemed too calm.

He lowered his eyes indifferently, and his firm and tough jawline was stretched close together, as sharp as a blade.

In fact, he had been mentally prepared. This disaster was arranged for him by his eldest brother himself, and he would not get out of here easily.

"It doesn't matter if you took it yesterday or last year. Once you've taken drugs, you've taken drugs. They'll stay in your system for up to two years. You can't metabolize them in a short period of time!"

Luo Ji knew that the situation was already decided, and he smiled smugly, "It is a foregone conclusion that you have taken drugs, and there is no way to argue. From now on, I am afraid you will have to stay here for fifteen days.

The food in the detention center is not good, and the hard bed hurts your back. You, who have been pampered for a long time, must be mentally prepared."

For a first-time drug offender, detention for fifteen days is just a minor punishment but a warning to ordinary people.

For a person like Shen Jingjue who holds a high position of power and has social influence, this means total disgrace!

Even in the future, for all the public activities of the Shen Group, he, who was charged with the crime of being a "drug addict", would never be allowed to show his face in public again for the sake of the corporate image.

Faced with such decisive evidence as the blood report, Lin Su's heart sank.

While he was thinking of a solution, Shen Jingjue, who had remained silent all this time, finally spoke in a calm voice:

"I don't take drugs. Since my health condition began to deteriorate three months ago, I have been taking medication to suppress the condition. Afterwards, my eldest brother Shen Jingzhe arranged for his private doctor to be assigned to me in the name of treating me."

Luo Ji: "Personal doctor? What's his name?"

"Mu Xuerou."

Shen Jingjue slowly raised his eyes, his starry eyes were still sharp and he was not defeated by the predicament in front of him. "Since she took over, my subsequent medications were all provided by her. And she told me that these medicines are to control my condition, not drugs."

Luo Ji was suddenly stunned and frowned.

He thought that in this way he could convict Shen Jingjue and report to Director Deng.

Naturally, he did not expect that there would be unexpected complications, and a private doctor named Mu Xueruo would appear in the middle.

This matter was far more complicated than he had expected, and there were undercurrents surging!

"First of all, I didn't know it was a drug. Captain Luo, you also said that this was a new drug that had only been popular in Shengjing for two months. Most people who had never come into contact with it before, including you who are well-informed, probably had only recently come into contact with it. What's more, it was me.

Secondly, if I knew, I would not have taken it. Because my body is indeed in trouble now, and if I take drugs, wouldn’t that be driving myself to death? Am I thinking my life is too long?”

Shen Jingjue had an upright posture and a dignified temperament, completely the proud attitude of a soldier.

The feeling of integrity came over me. How could it be that I was being eroded and controlled by drug addiction?

If someone says he takes drugs, how many people in the outside world would believe it?

While Luo Ji was deep in thought, Lin Che said seriously, "Captain Luo, I think you should call that doctor Mu over for questioning immediately. If the drugs were provided by her, then she must know where the drugs came from.

"You police have determined that the pills found are crystal ice, so Dr. Mu is a major suspect. As someone who can freely enter and leave the Shen family, she can easily get close to Mr. Shen's personal doctor. Tell me, what are the chances that she can enter and leave Mr. Shen's office and secretly hide drugs?"

Luo Ji froze for a moment.

……

At night, watch the tide at the manor.

In the study, Shen Guangjing felt chest tightness and frowned, while Secretary Zhu was giving him a massage.

"Shocked... How could he take drugs? In my impression, he has never been such a person!"

"Dad, please take care of yourself."

Shen Jingzhe personally poured a cup of tea and pushed it in front of Shen Guangjing, "I will help you deal with Jingjue's matter. Try to get him out as soon as possible, and minimize the impact on the Shen family."

"How can we suppress it? The news has spread! When the market opens tomorrow morning, the stock price will fall again!" Shen Guangjing frowned.

Shen Jingzhe was calm and collected, and curled his lips, "As long as we win the A5 project, the stock price will go up to the limit, and all the losses will be made up."

Shen Guangjing felt a dull pain in his head and shook his head, "I still don't believe it. I was shocked... that he would take drugs."

Although he disliked many of his younger son's actions, he trusted his character.

Mu Xuerou said awkwardly: "Maybe, it's because of my recent illness, work, and the breakup with Miss Tang that I'm under too much mental pressure..."

"Xue Rou, you have nothing to do here." Shen Jingzhe scolded.

Mu Xueruo raised her eyebrows and stepped aside.

Shen Guangjing rubbed his temples. "Now that the project is about to start, I feel that I am in trouble. I have to take care of all the external work and social activities."

"If you trust me, I can help you." Shen Jingzhe looked at him sincerely.

Shen Guangjing slowly raised his head and met his deep eyes.

At this moment, the housekeeper's anxious voice came from outside the door:

"Mr. Shen, the police came to your door and said they want to take someone in for questioning."

Shen Guangjing had had enough and asked angrily, "Who?!"

"Mu Xuerou, Doctor Mu."

The three men looked at Mu Xueruo in unison.

Mu Xueruo's face froze and she quickly looked at Shen Jingzhe, who had a calm expression.

"Xue Rou, go ahead."

Shen Jingzhe narrowed his eyes and said in a voice that did not reveal his emotions, "Actively cooperate with the police and answer whatever they ask."
