So the two of them disregarded all moral boundaries and decided to target Pei He Pei He, using all their connections to investigate his private life during his studies abroad.

However, because Fu Huaiyan had already conducted an investigation once before and deliberately kept the insiders silent, their investigation was very difficult, and they didn't get any important information even after several days.

At the same time, when Pei Hongfeng received the anonymous email, he felt a chill run through his body. As he read the contents, his breath caught in his throat, and he felt as if his heart was about to stop beating.

He dared not imagine what the consequences would be if this information fell into the hands of his political enemies, but the consequences would certainly be very serious. Not only would he lose his position, but he would probably also end up in prison.

Pei Hongfeng was also extremely angry, wishing he could go back to work immediately and beat that bastard son to death.

Ever since this wretched child was born, not a single day has been peaceful for me. All he does is cause trouble, and each incident gets bigger than the last. Now, resolving this matter will probably be extremely difficult.

However, since the other party sent it to me, they probably have something in mind. If I can meet their request, I might let them off the hook.

Pei Hongfeng replied to the other party's email, stating that as long as the document was not leaked, any request was negotiable.

Then he received a certificate stating that the land in the West Suburb Woods failed the land test. The other party asked him to have the relevant departments conduct another test and release the results to the media. All he had to do was do these things.

Pei Hongfeng hadn't expected that the other party was threatening him over this matter. He hadn't originally planned to approve the land, but he had to do as the other party instructed.

Jiang Ruoning and Gu Yubai were still waiting for news from their friends abroad when they suddenly received a phone call, and their expressions changed.

"What? We need to test it again? We've already tested it, haven't we? Staff came over last time."

Last time, in order to cover up the results, they went to great lengths to get the testing personnel to produce a fake report to replace the real one, thus deceiving them.

All that effort has been wasted now; if we do another test, the true result probably won't be hidden anymore.

But why do we need to check it again if everything was fine? Is there a problem with the last result, and that's why the higher-ups are fixated on it?

Gu Yubai and Jiang Ruoning thought about it more and more and felt that it was possible. They were so panicked that they didn't know what to do. They could only call Li Binyuan as soon as possible, hoping that he could help them this time for the sake of their two families.

However, Li Binyuan did not answer the phone, leaving the two completely at a loss.

This time, it wasn't just the testing personnel; there were also many reporters following them. No matter how they tried to drive them away, it was useless. Many people were taking pictures in the West Suburb Woods, making it look like a very large-scale operation.

The test results came out in about an afternoon. To Jiang Ruoning and Gu Yubai faces, the heavy metal levels were thousands of times higher than in ordinary residential buildings. Instantly, all the reporters swarmed around them, making it impossible for them to move.

He sharply questioned, "Ms. Jiang Ruoning and Gu Yubai, were you both aware all along that the land in the West Suburb Woods area had seriously exceeded its permitted size?"

"Do you know that excessive amounts of heavy metals can cause serious harm to people and do not meet the conditions for the construction of residential buildings? According to me, the test report you submitted for the first time is qualified. Are you accepting bribes from the inspectors?"

All the questions and problems were mercilessly slapped in their faces.

In that instant, Jiang Ruoning and Gu Yubai almost lost their footing, because they already knew in their hearts that this time they were probably doomed.

When Fu Huaiyan saw the news about West Suburb Woods all over the internet, he was overjoyed. He had finally gotten rid of a major threat. The Li Family had received the news today and had already issued a notice to terminate their cooperation with them in order to clean themselves up and avoid being dragged into the public opinion.

He said that Li Binyuan, that old fox, could never have insisted on investing in Jiang Ruoning; now that something like this has happened, he's running away faster than anyone else.

He was pleased to see that the two sides could not cooperate, because they no longer posed a threat to him for the time being.

Fu Huaiyan was very grateful to Su Wanqiao for her help and reminder, and he also wanted to improve his image in her eyes, so he instinctively wanted to give her money.

However, simply giving money has been done several times already, and it's become cliché.

After much deliberation, he decided that this time he would give his wife a very valuable asset that could generate more money, and which would also perfectly suit her tastes.

"Qiaoqiao, you've done the Fu Family a huge favor this time. I'd like to give you a shopping mall. You can have whatever you want, and you can bring home whatever you want. Plus, it will make you a steady stream of money every day. The rent and sales revenue will be transferred to your account daily."

!!!

Su Wanqiao's eyes lit up.

How much money does this shopping mall make every day?

"This is one of the top luxury brand boutiques in the South City, with daily sales ranging from several million to tens of millions, but the annual rent is over a billion. Are you satisfied with that?"

"I'm very satisfied! You're such a considerate and loving husband."

Su Wanqiao jumped up excitedly, almost rushing forward to hug Fu Huaiyan.

When Fu Huaiyan saw his wife coming over, how could she not hug him?

His wife could endure it, but he couldn't.

He took three steps in two, went straight forward and hugged Su Wanqiao tightly.

And he affectionately rubbed his cheek against hers.

Su Wanqiao smelled a woody vanilla scent, very rich and pleasant, but the man's scent was too intense, making her blush slightly.

This was the first time the two had been so close. They couldn't quite describe their feelings, but they felt a warmth in their hearts. After all, how could they not feel anything when being embraced by such a handsome man?
