Jiang Qimeng could not stop him at all. Shen Yanfei gave a brief order and his subordinates immediately understood what he meant. They entered the courtyard in a single file.

  “Shen Yanfei!” Jiang Qimeng rushed forward and grabbed his arm, screaming at the top of her lungs, “You can’t do this!”


  Shen Yanfei said coldly, “Mrs. Song, please open the door and cooperate with our investigation!”


  Jiang Qimeng was so angry that her lips quivered. With a livid expression, she said, “Zhengguo and Enya are seriously injured now. Shen Yanfei, to think that Zhengguo had taken such good care of you in the past and supported you in every aspect in your career! Now that you’ve achieved your meteoric rise, you’re turning your back on us, aren’t you?! Don’t forget who you relied on to get where you are today! Now that you’ve finally arrived, you’re being so ungrateful?”


  Disregarding Jiang Qimeng’s questions, Shen Yanfei’s only response was to take on a more serious tone as he said, “I’m asking you to open the door, why are you talking about such irrelevant things?! Indeed, Mayor Song once supported me. However, since when had Mayor Song the authority to promote anyone as he wished?!”


  Jiang Qimeng was at a loss for words. She had trapped herself!

  She was so angry that she had not paid attention to her own words.

  Shen Yanfei looked at her coldly and said expressionlessly, “Your words don’t make sense. You’re just trying to distract us from the investigation! Since you’re so uncooperative, don’t blame us for being rude!”


  With that, he waved his hand and said to his subordinates, “Search the house thoroughly!”


  “Roger!”


  The subordinates immediately forced their way in.

  They broke the lock on the sturdy door, and a group of people rushed in. Once they entered, they immediately started searching.

  Jiang Qimeng wanted to rush in but was immediately restrained.

  The Song family’s villa was of a reasonable size.

  She would not usually ask about Song Zhengguo’s work matters, so she did not know everything about him. However, from what she knew, Song Enya had embezzled a portion of the public funds from Song Yunxi’s account for artificial insemination. When the funds disappeared without a trace, Song Zhengguo became very nervous, so he tried to cover up the matter by embezzling another portion of the public funds into this account.

  Hence, when Song Enya confessed that the money had been used for artificial insemination, Song Zhengguo was so hopping mad that he almost had a cerebral infarction.

  Jiang Qimeng also remembered that there was a secret door in the basement that Song Zhengguo had never allowed her to get near.

  On one occasion, she walked to the basement and accidentally pushed open the door. When she walked in, she realized that it was filled with huge safe boxes. Each safe had a password lock.

  She had a vague idea of what was going on here. She and Song Zhengguo had a tacit understanding but it wasn’t something they’d discuss aloud. She knew very well how the Song family attained their wealth!

  Jiang Qimeng had always accepted it with no questions asked. She did not bother to think about the consequences if this matter should be exposed one day!

  She could only stand at the door and watch as these people now busied themselves coming in and out of her house. Her thoughts were in a mess!

  But of course she knew.

  These were successive incidents, hence it was obvious to her who instructed this sudden search operation!

  Gu Jinglian!

  It was him again?!

  Was this man not going to stop till he had them cornered?!
