The Video Filmed in Advance
Welcome to "I'm Trapped in the Same Day for a Thousand Years," exclusively produced by Feilu Novel Network, narrated by Sang Ze Wang Xiaomo Lao He.
However, Hu Xilin is a very stubborn person, and he can be quite annoying.
He definitely wants to meet and talk to me. I told him twice during our phone calls to mind his own business and that it had nothing to do with him.
But as Lei Cheng spoke, a slightly troubled look appeared on his face.
Hu Xilin was his friend, but actually Hu Xuelin and Lei You were old friends.
Before Lei Cheng came to the East Sea to take charge of the subsidiary, Hu Xuelin and Lei You already had a close relationship.
As for his elder brother's friends, Lei Cheng would only deal with them in business matters, and rarely had any contact with them in private.
He came to the East Sea to keep a low profile, to lie low, and to pretend to be a failure, a depressed loser who only knows how to have fun.
However, Lei Cheng and Hu Xilin still became friends. It was Hu Xilin who took the initiative to contact Lei Cheng more often, and he did not underestimate Lei Cheng, the loser in the family infighting.
Moreover, Hu Xuelin enjoys making friends and is very warm and welcoming.
After spending some time with him, Lei Cheng found that he was a really nice person, so he took the initiative to spend more time with him, and the two became friends.
There's no such thing as black and white in this world. For Lei Cheng, it doesn't mean that Lei You's friends are bad people, that you can't associate with them, or that you have to stay far away from them.
After all, Hongfa Group is a huge company, Lei You, as the general manager, has made far too many friends with the actual operators through business dealings.
Now, Lei Cheng understands Hu Xilin. He's not a bad person, and he's very loyal, but he's really annoying. It's due to his personality. He'll keep pestering you, keep talking, and keep trying to persuade you as a friend. If you turn against him, you won't listen to his advice, and if you avoid him, he can really drive you crazy.
Lei Cheng didn't know exactly what Lei You had said to Hu Xilin, but he probably asked as a friend. Hu Xilin must have agreed, and he was determined to do whatever Hu Xilin promised. If he couldn't do it, he would keep asking.
Old Hu is a very loyal person, but he also meddles in other people's business, so I can't go into too much detail with him.
Lei Cheng sighed as he thought about it.
I know him.
Wu Chen glanced at Lei Chen, smiled, and then handed Lei Chen the phone he had previously set up, asking, "Take a look at this?"
As Lei Cheng took the phone, he casually asked a question.
Wu Chen did not answer him.
Lei Cheng looked at the phone screen; it was already on video playback. He tapped it, and it would start playing.
Lei Cheng played these points. The video started, the picture was shaky, but the phone was quickly stabilized. Yes, it was pointing at the booth in the corner. There was no one in the corner, but people came very quickly.
The sound of footsteps approached less than 10 seconds into the video.
A man and a woman appeared in the frame, sitting opposite Zhu Haobo in the corner.
Lei Cheng suddenly frowned and muttered something.
He recognized Zhu Haobo at a glance, even though Zhu Haobo was wearing a baseball cap and keeping his face low as he smoked.
Lei Cheng could make a judgment based on just one strategy and one figure.
Lei Cheng is the CEO of Hongfa Fumao Group, while Zhu Haobo is the vice president. Their power and status are second only to Lei Cheng. He is Lei You's confidant and has been keeping a close eye on Lei Cheng.
The two saw each other every day, so Lei Cheng was naturally very familiar with Zhu Haobo.
After the man and woman sat down, the man took off his baseball cap and casually tossed it on the table.
Lei Cheng was not mistaken; it was indeed Zhu Haobo.
Lei Cheng's expression changed, because at the same time the man took off his baseball cap, the woman also took off her mask.
Lei Cheng also knew Hu Xilin's wife, Qian Ruiling. Lei Chen was also very familiar with Qian Ruiling. Because he and Hu Xilin not only had business dealings but also a good personal relationship, they were friends. Moreover, Hu Xilin was a few years older than him, so Lei Cheng usually called Hu Xueling, Hu Ge, or Old Hu, and addressed Qian Ruiling as his sister-in-law.
Whether Zhu Haobo and Qian Ruiling came together for dinner or drinks to discuss business, it's worth noting that Qian Ruiling isn't a woman behind the scenes; she's not a pampered rich wife, but rather a strong woman in her own right.
Hu Xiling is the chairman of Xirui Electronics, and Qian Ruiling is the vice chairman. She is also the deputy general manager and head of the finance department of Xirui Electronics.
Xirui Electronics is run jointly by the husband and wife, so it's normal and not surprising that Qian Ruiling comes out to discuss business. There's nothing wrong with her meeting with Zhu Haobo privately.
Chery Electronics and Fumao Group have been cooperating for so many years, it would be strange if their vice presidents didn't have a personal relationship and never met in private.
We're discussing business.
That's what they say, but Lei Cheng won't fall.
From the moment the two walked over in the video and appeared on screen, he noticed that they were holding hands, suggesting they were either a couple or married.
For the next few minutes, Lei Cheng watched the video without saying a word. With the phone on speaker, he could vaguely hear the soothing music from the bar in the background, as well as the conversation between Zhu Haobo and Qian Xuelin.
The music did not drown out the conversation; the former's voice was much softer, and his voice was very clear.
Li Cheng didn't fast-forward at all; he kept watching, his expression grim.
Qian Ruiling cheated on him with Zhu Haobo. It's certain that Lei Cheng truly considered Hu Xilin friend. Of course, he can't be happy or indifferent when his friend is cheated on; he's worried.
Qin Ruiling's affair was with Zhu Haobo, Zhu Haobo was Hongfa's man and Lei You's confidant.
This made Lei Cheng's thoughts somewhat complicated.
Lei Cheng suddenly raised his hand and paused the video.
Bro, where did you get this video?
Lei Chen, please take a look.
Wu Chen asked.
I took the picture.
Wu Chen smiled.
Did you take this picture?
Lei Cheng was taken aback. Although the video was on Wu Chen's phone, it could be imported later.
When Lei Chen watched the video, he never imagined that Wu Chen had actually filmed it himself.
He nodded to Wu Chen again to confirm.
When did this happen?
Lei Cheng asked again.
This afternoon?
Wu Chen said.
This afternoon?
Lei Cheng was completely stunned.
Yes, this afternoon, about an hour ago.
Wu Chen nodded and smiled.
Lei Cheng was a little confused because he had just thought that even if Wu Chen had filmed the video himself, and it wasn't filmed by someone Wu Chen had arranged, and it wasn't obtained through other channels, it should still be from the past, right?
Perhaps Wu Chen had investigated something before, which is why he had this video on his phone. But Wu Chen said it was this afternoon, or even an hour ago. Why did he suddenly investigate today?
Lei Cheng couldn't think of any other reason; the only thing he could think of was Hu Xuelin trying to persuade him.
If we investigate his home and his wife because of this incident, and cause him some trouble so that he can't come and cause trouble for a while, that would be a viable solution.
The problem is, Lei Cheng had just talked to Wu Chen about Hu Xilin, and this video was something Wu Chen filmed an hour ago. He had only just told Wu Chen about it, yet Wu Chen had already filmed the video beforehand, as if he had foreseen the future. Lei Cheng, however, didn't think about the mystical aspects of foresight. What he was thinking about was what Wu Chen's true background was, which was completely untraceable.
Did Wu Chen know in advance that Wu Xilin had called him, or did he know in advance that Lei You had contacted Hu Xilin?
That must require incredible intelligence capabilities and a powerful background.
Bro, why did you film this?
Lei Yucheng was about to ask Wu Chen why he suddenly filmed this. He also thought that he might have misunderstood the reason, otherwise Wu Chen would really be too amazing.
Just then, Lei Cheng's phone rang.
Lei Cheng took out his phone from his pocket, glanced at it, frowned slightly, but still answered the call.
Old Hu, could you please not be Hu Xuelin?
It had only been half an hour since he last called Lei Cheng, and this was the third time he had called Lei Cheng this afternoon.
Stop talking nonsense!
Hu Xilin interrupted Lei Chang directly, saying, "I'm outside your residential area. Can you send someone out to meet me?"
Hu Xuelin came to our door.
Judging from the time, Hu Xianlin likely drove directly to the Supreme Manor area after hanging up the phone with Lei Chen.
The Supreme Manor features top-tier luxury residences that have stood the test of time. The residents here are not ordinary people, and the community is managed very strictly. Outside vehicles are absolutely not allowed to enter the community without permission from the residents.
I'm going out.
Uh, I'm not home.
Lei Cheng his phone, glancing at Wu Chen at the same time.
Don't lie to me, Lao Lei.
Hu Xuelin then exposed this, saying, "If you don't send someone to pick me up, I'll block the door."
He wanted to block the entrance to the residential area, and so did Lei Cheng, so Hu Xuelin couldn't do anything about it.
If Hu Xilin was simply a busybody and stubborn, then Lei Cheng would never have become his friend.
Hu Xilin's character and style remained consistent throughout. He was not the kind of person who would boast about trivial matters or be good at talking, but would pretend not to see anything when faced with important issues.
He is very loyal and always willing to help others.
Lei Cheng has been in the East Sea for 10 years. In addition to serving as the chairman of Fumao Group, he has also started his own businesses in the East Sea, and they have all become successful.
Hu Xuelin was a great help to him during this time.
Okay, okay, you wait a minute.
Lei Chen's impatient tone was tinged with helplessness as he hung up.
Old Hu.
Hu Xuelian was about to come in at the main entrance when Lei Chen looked at Wu Chen and said, "He said he wanted to meet me before, but I said I didn't have time. He's really impatient."
Wu Chen smiled as usual, his expression showing no particular change.
Not surprising, not unexpected. Hu Xuelin is a prominent figure in the East Sea. Although he hasn't reached the level of Lu Guangnian or Mu Sihai, he's not far behind.
Wu Chen understands Hu Xielin and knows his temperament. Not only that, Wu Chen also knows that Hu Xuelin will come to find Lei Cheng at this time, because on the previous July 20th, Hu Xuelin came to find Lei Cheng at this time.
Although Wu Chen did not meet with Lei Cheng on July 20th last year, and the originally planned meeting was canceled, the two had spoken on the phone many times, so Wu Chen knew about it.
Hu Chen did not make any special remarks about Hu Xilin's upcoming visit, nor did he mention whether it would be convenient for him to meet with Hu Xilin.
If it wasn't mentioned, then it's acceptable.
Lei Yicheng stood up, walked to the desk on the other side of the study, picked up the walkie-talkie on the table, and said to his lips, "Leizi, Boss Hu is outside the gate. Go and answer him."
After instructing the bodyguards outside, Lei Cheng left the study briefly, went to the stairwell, and called out to Tao Manying, telling her to tell Da Bao that Old Hu was coming and to come in and have him come directly upstairs to the study.
Wu Chen sat on the sofa in the study without moving, and he could hear everything Lei Chen shouted.
Lei Chen quickly returned to his study and sat down on the sofa.
Lei Chen glanced at the phone on the table; it was Wu Chen's. He Delusion again.
Wu Chen raised his hand and gestured towards his phone, Brother Dao, that video is also meant to be shown to Hu Xuelin about Qian Ruiling's affair with Zhu Haobo.
Wu Chen smiled and said, "Just give it to me."
Lei Cheng asked a question hastily, and a cruel feeling welled up inside him.
Hu Xuelin and Qian Ruiling have been married for 20 years and have a son and a daughter. Their relationship has always been harmonious.
Hu Xiling came to persuade Lei Cheng. It was so sudden for Hu Xiling to find out that she had been cuckolded. It was all too unexpected, and no one knew how much of a blow it would be to him.
Moreover, doing so would likely offend Hu Xilin, not only because it would be a matter of outsiders discovering and exposing family scandals first, but it would also make Hu Xuelin extremely embarrassed, losing all face as a man.
But the most important question is, why would he secretly film Qian Ruiling? Even Hu Xilin himself didn't suspect anything. Why would he start investigating an outsider, his own wife?
It's strange, it's abrupt, and it immediately gives the impression that there's an ulterior motive.
Yes, give it directly.
Wu Chen is right.
Lei Cheng nodded.
Would it be inappropriate to give it to them directly?
Lei Cheng then spoke in a tone that suggested he was reluctant to discuss the matter. He was considering it from a friend's perspective, and now that he knew Hu Xilin had been cheated on, as a friend, he naturally had to remind him and let him know.
But how to remind her, and how to make Hu Xuelin accept it better, that's the skill.
Lei Cheng felt that giving it directly was not a good option.
Lei Chen knew very well that once Hu Xilin watched the video, he wouldn't bother him anymore; he would go back and file for divorce.
Even so, as a friend, to just give it to someone so abruptly without considering their feelings is quite unkind.
Is there anything wrong with that?
Wu Chen smiled and glanced at Lei Cheng, paused, then laughed again, "You think Hu Xianlin is clean himself?"
Lei Cheng was stunned for a moment before he understood what Wu Chen meant.
Does he have other women?
Lei Cheng asked.
Uh-huh.
Wu Chen nodded.
Lei Cheng remained stunned. He and Hu Xuelin had been friends for 10 years and had been in frequent contact during that time. In addition to business dealings, they would meet privately every month.
But he had no idea that Hu Xilin had other women; not only did he not know, he had never even heard of them.
Some wealthy business owners love to have fun, while others don't. Hu Xilin is one of those who doesn't.
He and Qian Xuelin have always had a very good relationship; the couple can even be considered a model couple in the East Sea Business Circle.
He's keeping a mistress?
Brother?
Are you sure?
Wu Chen nodded, but Lei Cheng still couldn't quite believe it. He asked again, "It's not that I don't believe Wu Chen, but this whole thing doesn't make sense."
Thor watched the video of Qian Ruiling's infidelity and then decided not to do anything about it.
He thought he wouldn't doubt the authenticity of the video, nor would he wonder why Qian Ruiling would cheat on him.
Although Lei Cheng and Qian Ruiling were acquainted, their understanding of each other was limited; after all, she was his sister-in-law, and Li Cheng wouldn't get too close to her.
Therefore, when the facts and evidence of Qian Ruiling's infidelity were presented to him, he would not make unfounded speculations or doubts.
Hu Xiling was different. He was also familiar with her; they had been friends for 10 years. Lei Cheng knew nothing about her and had never heard of Hu Xuelin having any other women, not even the slightest hint of romance.
If he truly possessed it, how did he manage to keep it so tightly under wraps?
And why keep it so secret?
I can't figure it out.
Between men, there's no need to keep secrets about this kind of thing; they cover for each other and help each other conceal it. I'm certain of that.
Wu Chen nodded to Lei Cheng again, and then smiled.
Although Hu Xuelin had no intention of getting a divorce, and he still had feelings for Qian Ruiling, and their family life had always been harmonious, he did indeed have other women, and more than one.
Lei Cheng's expression was still strange. Although Wu Chen's words made it seem like showing the video to Hu Xilin wouldn't be a big deal, he would be angry but wouldn't suffer too much of a blow, since he himself had also cheated.
But I still can't understand how Hu Xuelin managed to keep things so secret.
Actually, it wasn't just Hu Xuelin; Qian Ruiling was too. Both of them were having affairs, but they kept it all very secret, without a single word getting out, which was very strange.
Wu Chen could tell what Lei Cheng was thinking just by looking at his expression, so he didn't beat around the bush. Hu Xuelin and Qian Ruiling had signed a prenuptial agreement.
Wu Chen looked at Lei Cheng and said directly that the party who cheats after marriage will be left with nothing in a divorce.
Lei Cheng's eyes widened in surprise. He had never heard of a prenuptial agreement. From what Wu Chen said, he realized that the reason why Hu Xilin and Qian Xuelin, the couple, had both cheated on each other but kept it so secret was because they were both afraid of being found out.
As far as Lei Cheng knows, the shares of Xirui Electronics currently held by Hu Xilin, worth over 3 billion yuan, are actually marital property, the result of the couple's 20 years of hard work, although the shares are registered under Hu Xuelin's name.
Therefore, from another perspective, the video Wu Chen filmed is evidence of Qian Ruiling's infidelity, which could potentially leave Qian Ruiling with nothing in the divorce. In that case, the video would be worth 1.5 billion.
