Chapter 2215: Supervisory Spot Check

Editor: Atlas Studios

“Don’t try to comfort me, little girl. That old thing, Jack, only knows how to eat, drink and have fun. He doesn’t care about the casino at all. Otherwise, we would have become the largest casino in the entire state long ago!” Bella said as if she expected better.

“Don’t be angry. At your age, shouldn’t you and Jack be traveling around the world and enjoying yourselves? Why are you still working so hard!” Qiao Mei said.

“There’s so much to do. He’s the only one who has the time to enjoy life!” Bella said.

Qiao Mei sat beside Bella and listened to Bella tell many stories about her and Jack in the past. Although Qiao Mei had heard a few stories in the past, she still found it unbelievable that Bella’s love was so pure and flawless and had lasted for so many years.

After He Ning paid the bill, he went straight to the hotel’s VIP floor. The fifth floor of the hotel was specially reserved for high-ranking officials and rich people. Here, some people conducted illegal transactions, some people looked for joy and some people met guests.

He Ning belonged to the last category, but he was not meeting a guest. He was going to monitor someone who was meeting Xia Zhe.

“Are the questions ready?” He Ning asked as he stood in front of the surveillance monitor.

“Yes, all ready. We ask the same questions every year. Mr. He, do you want to add anything?” Wang Jing stood beside He Ning and asked nervously.

Wang Jing held a civilian post in the army in the capital and was in charge of setting up and doing spot checks on secret military missions. This year, he was sent to Country M to do a spot check on Xia Zhe’s work.

His father was old and seriously ill, and the hospital could no longer do anything for his father. His salary was low and he could not afford his father’s high medical expenses or buy precious medicinal herbs to prolong his father’s life. Just as he was at his wits’ end, He Ning came to look for him.

If he agreed to follow He Ning’s instructions, He Ning would save his father and give him the Xia family’s “divine medicine” in exchange. A person like him, who had no family background and did not know anyone important, could not get close to the Xia family at all. This was the only way he could save his father.

“I’ll put in a few more questions. Add them to your questions later.” He Ning took a pen and paper and quickly wrote a few lines on it. Wang Jing was shocked for a long time when he saw the questions, but he could only brace himself.

Wang Jing walked out of the room shakily with his notebook and went to Xia Zhe’s room. Xia Zhe had been trapped here for a long time. Ever since he received the instructions from the organization after the meeting ended, he had been waiting in this room and did not dare to go out, worried that he would miss out on Wang Jing’s visit.

Given that he was stationed in Country M, the higher-ups would specially arrange for people to come here to check on him, basically to find out the extent of his businesses and whether he had hidden anything from them. However, because such checks only happened once a year and it would be very troublesome if he missed it, he could only wait here throughout the entire 24 hours a day.

In the past years, it only took two days. He did not know why it was taking so long this year.

“Hello, it’s nice to meet you. I’m the person sent by the higher-ups for the spot check this year. My name is Wang Jing,” Wang Jing said to Xia Zhe with a smile after entering the room.

“Let’s start immediately. I’ve been waiting for you for a long time,” Xia Zhe said with slight anger.

Anyone else would have beaten Wang Jing up first. He had stayed in this small room for four days and could not go out at all. There were not even any entertainment facilities in the room. Anyone would go crazy!

“Alright, then let me ask you about your current assets and what companies you have…”

After more than an hour of questions, Wang Jing looked at Xia Zhe and said hesitantly, “What’s your relationship with Jessica?”

“Does this have anything to do with the higher-ups?” Xia Zhe asked curiously.

“… Yes. After all, based on what I know, you already have a family. Recently, there has been news that you and Jessica are getting married. The higher-ups are very concerned about this,” Wang Jing said with a guilty conscience.

Xia Zhe immediately sensed that something was wrong. Jiang Ting already knew all these things. Also, the higher-ups would not ask about such private matters. Why was Wang Jing so curious? In addition to the abnormality over the past few days, there must be something wrong.

“Who sent you?” Xia Zhe questioned.

“The higher-ups of course!” Wang Jing said.

Xia Zhe narrowed his eyes and observed Wang Jing carefully. He picked up a bathrobe and tied up Wang Jing’s hands.

“You! Why are you tying me up! Aren’t you afraid that I’ll report it to the higher-ups when I get back!” Wang Jing said furiously.

“Is that so? Then you have to be able to make it back alive. I have doubts about your identity. You can wait for the higher-ups to arrange for someone to come and save you.” After saying that, Xia Zhe swaggered out of the hotel. Outside the hotel, Xiao Bei had been waiting for Xia Zhe’s return.
