Chapter 245 Speaking the Truth
Jiang Hao has always trusted Wang Shiyi.
Back when Wang Shiyi was still in college, she came to the entertainment center for a summer job and was spotted by Jiang Hao at first glance.
Jiang Hao himself is uneducated, but he greatly admires educated people.
He had always heard people say that college life was great, so when he heard that Wang Shiyi was a college student, and that she was pretty and had a good figure, he immediately offered her a high salary to keep her there.
Wang Shiyi, new to the world of business, couldn't resist such temptation and became so engrossed that she forgot all about home.
I earned over 10,000 yuan during the two-month summer vacation, and after the summer vacation, I never went back to school.
Now, Wang Shiyi has been working at the entertainment venue for four or five years and has become Jiang Hao's personal assistant, with her salary steadily increasing.
According to many people,
Jiang Hao's assistant does everything for him, and when he's not busy, he acts like an assistant. Their relationship is ambiguous and seems to have some special aspects.
Jiang Hao took a few more large puffs of his cigar, paused, and then spoke.
"Shiyi, let me briefly explain the situation to you first."
"Now Zhang Qiang and Ma Junjie each have their own version of events."
"Ma Junjie said that, with your witness, he personally handed over the 88,000 yuan compensation to Liu Xiaoshan. But Zhang Qiang said that when he went to help Liu Xiaoshan sort through his belongings, he didn't see a single penny."
"For me, money is secondary. The key thing is that I hate being deceived and I absolutely despise people who lie!"
"Furthermore, I always felt that this money was the cause of Liu Xiaoshan's death, and the murderer was likely the one lying behind his back!"
Wang Shiyi suddenly realized what was going on, and her body trembled.
After hearing Jiang Hao finish speaking, Zhang Qiang mustered his courage and immediately moved closer to Wang Shiyi.
He and Wang Shiyi are quite close.
After all, before Ma Junjie arrived, Zhang Qiang, the deputy captain, was in charge of Blue Moon's security and some logistical work.
Zhang Qiang looked at Wang Shiyi with a fawning smile on his face.
One hand instinctively reached out to pat Wang Shiyi's arm.
Upon seeing Jiang Hao, he immediately braked and pulled over.
"Assistant Wang, we're all on the same side, yes, on the same side."
"Let me think about it. We've known each other for over four years since you joined Blue Moon. As soon as you joined, I noticed that you're a person who speaks the truth and is serious and responsible in your work."
"Today, just say what you really think, the truth is all you need to say. My cousin, Mr. Jiang, hates it when people lie."
Ma Junjie listened from the side, his brows furrowed.
He thought to himself, "Zhang Qiang looks like a big, burly guy, but I didn't expect him to be such a skilled talker."
At crucial moments, he kept giving Wang Shiyi hints.
Several key points are highlighted in just a few words.
Firstly, it shows that he and Wang Shiyi have known each other for many years and are truly one of their own.
Secondly, he specifically emphasized that Jiang Hao was his cousin, to warn Wang Shiyi to be mindful of her behavior.
Ma Junjie listened silently, only able to curse inwardly.
Fortunately, Jiang Hao still understands people's hearts.
Hearing Zhang Qiang suddenly interrupt, she glared at him fiercely and cursed.
"Damn it, Zhang Qiang, now you call me cousin, but when you're doing things, why don't you ever think of me as your cousin? You're just causing me trouble!"
"Zhang Qiang, I'm warning you, don't say another word. If you speak again without my permission, I'll slap you twice!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Qiang quickly covered his mouth with his hand.
Anyway, he had achieved his goal and said what he needed to say to Wang Shiyi.
Victory is assured.
Wang Shiyi is a smart person, so she naturally knows how to handle it.
Zhang Qiang bowed and apologized.
"Brother Hao, I'll shut up, I'll shut up! If I say another word, I'm an animal!"
Jiang Hao glared at him again, then turned his head and looked at Ma Junjie.
He coughed twice, "cough cough..."
"Ah Jie, Zhang Qiang said a few words, and I can't show favoritism, so let you say a few words too!"
Ma Junjie was taken aback; he hadn't expected Jiang Hao to be so thoughtful and fair.
He smiled faintly and said to Jiang Hao,
"Brother Hao, thank you."
"However, I really don't have much to say."
"Well then, I'll just say this to Assistant Wang: 'Time will tell,' and I hope Assistant Wang will tell the truth!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Qiang gave a dismissive "tsk" and revealed a look of disgust.
Wang Shiyi was momentarily stunned after hearing Ma Junjie's words.
"Alright!" Jiang Hao shouted.
"Alright! Now that everything's been explained, Shiyi, I have questions for you. Like I said, you must answer truthfully!"
Wang Shiyi snapped out of her daze and nodded vigorously, her eyes revealing determination.
"Yes, Mr. Jiang, I will definitely tell the truth."
Jiang Hao was clearly quite satisfied with Wang Shiyi's attitude.
He nodded and slowly began to speak.
"Shiyi, I'm asking you, was the 88,000 yuan compensation really handed over to Liu Xiaoshan in your presence?"
"You just need to answer yes or no!"
The room fell silent the moment the question was asked.
Ma Junjie's heart seemed to leap into his throat instantly.
He could even clearly hear the "thump, thump" of his heartbeat.
He stared intently at Wang Shiyi, not daring to utter a sound.
Unbeknownst to him, Ma Junjie suddenly noticed that his palms were sweating.
To be honest, Ma Junjie was really unsure of himself and was extremely flustered.
Just then, Zhang Qiang turned his head and stared at Ma Junjie.
The two looked at each other,
A sly smile crept across Zhang Qiang's lips.
That smile seemed to be silently speaking to Ma Junjie.
"Kid, you're just waiting to die!"
Ma Junjie remained expressionless, turning his head away from Zhang Qiang and continuing to stare intently at Wang Shiyi.
It must be said that this situation is ultimately rare.
Wang Shiyi seemed a little nervous about the commotion; she tucked a stray hair behind her ear.
He glanced at Zhang Qiang, then at the cold-faced Jiang Hao, and finally fixed his gaze on Ma Junjie.
After a few seconds of silence, she nodded slightly, her voice ringing out clearly.
"Replying to General Manager Jiang... that compensation of 88,000... it was indeed... it was Captain Ma and I who went to the hospital to hand it over to Liu Xiaoshan."
"What?!"
Zhang Qiang's voice suddenly rose, as if he had been kicked hard. The smile on his face froze instantly, filled with disbelief.
He was completely unrestrained and extremely excited, as if he couldn't control himself.
He rushed forward, grabbed Wang Shiyi's wrist with such force that Wang Shiyi winced in pain.
"Wang Shiyi, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"Wang Shiyi, think it over carefully. Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
"That money was clearly never sent over, how can you help Ma Junjie lie?"
As he spoke, Zhang Qiang seemed to suddenly remember something. He pointed at Wang Shiyi, his eyes wide, and his voice boomed.
"I know, Wang Shiyi, you better confess honestly. Did you take bribes from Ma Junjie? By the way, you definitely took a cut of the money from us before..."
Zhang Qiang stopped abruptly, almost letting something slip.
He looked up at Jiang Hao and said quickly and excitedly,
"Brother Hao, I guarantee Wang Shiyi is lying. She definitely colluded with Ma Junjie, and the two of them split the spoils, so she's lying for him..."
"Brother Hao, I almost forgot, this woman can't be trusted. Not a single word she says can be believed..."
Before he could finish speaking,
Jiang Hao walked straight out from under the table.
A loud "slap" rang out.
It was as if a thunderclap had suddenly sounded in the clear sky.
The world went silent for a moment.
Zhang Qiang covered his burning face with his hands, looking aggrieved as he stared at Jiang Hao.
"Waaah, Brother Hao, you..."
Jiang Hao pointed at Zhang Qiang and angrily cursed,
"Damn it, Zhang Qiang, have you no shame at all?!"
"You were the one who suggested Wang Shiyi be a witness, and then you said Wang Shiyi's words couldn't be trusted. What the hell are you trying to do?"
As he spoke, Jiang Hao became furious and kicked Zhang Qiang again.
"Damn it, he even falsely accused Shiyi of sharing the spoils! Nothing good can come out of a dog's mouth!"
Zhang Qiang was kicked away heavily, like a stray dog being kicked.
He was heartbroken and in agony, both physically and mentally.
He couldn't believe it.
His friendship with Wang Shiyi far surpassed that with Ma Junjie.
Why didn't Wang Shiyi help him when he had given such obvious hints?
"Damn it, you filthy woman, you bitch..."
Zhang Qiang cursed Wang Shiyi fiercely in his heart, and finally came to a conclusion.
It must be that slut Wang Shiyi who's greedy and ungrateful, only interested in money!
Since her position had been lowered and Ma Junjie was now the team leader, he saw an even greater opportunity for Wang Shiyi to gain power and influence. Therefore, Wang Shiyi abandoned her.
Thinking of this, Zhang Qiang became furious and charged towards Wang Shiyi...
