Rebirth in 1958: Getting rich starts from Nanluoguxiang

Chapter 1407 uncovers all the hidden truths.

Huo Jiali completely ignored his outstretched hand and just gave a cold smile.

"President Meng, you seem to have a short memory. Back at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, you told me personally that if I offended your Meng family, I wouldn't even be able to find a way to beg for food. How come you've completely forgotten me after only three short years?"

Meng Renhuai immediately recalled the girl in front of him from his memory. The girl had left a deep impression on him. Even when facing him, the president of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, she still insisted on seeking justice for the girl.

I did warn her at the time, and what I said was roughly the same. I think I even issued some kind of blacklist, saying that anyone who dared to hire this girl would be making an enemy of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce. Later, I heard that no one hired this girl.

Now look at her, she's wearing a policewoman's uniform and the epaulettes of a chief superintendent. It's true what they say, fortunes change. Where can you find this person now?

Meng Renhuai was a seasoned veteran; he patted his forehead, looking apologetic.

"Oh my, you're getting old! You must be Miss Huo, right? See what I told you back then: gold shines wherever it is. Look at you now, you must be the top Chinese chief superintendent. Your future is limitless."

His remark was not unfounded. Huo Jiali is only twenty-three years old this year and is already a chief superintendent. She may become the top police officer or even the financial director in the future. Based on this alone, she is definitely a top star in Hong Kong.

The two Justices of the Peace behind him exchanged a glance and shook their heads slightly. To reach this position, it wasn't just about power and money; they were all cunning old foxes.

Although they were old friends with Meng Renhuai for many years, from a self-interest perspective, would it be a loss to offend such a young chief superintendent for the sake of an old friend? The two of them tacitly understood that they would see how serious Meng Zigui's offense was. If it was a minor matter, they would chime in, but if it was a major matter, then they would not be so sure as to back down.

Seeing that Huo Jiali ignored him, Meng Renhuai was not annoyed, but simply smiled and said.

"Miss Huo, are you free these next few days? Would I have the honor of inviting you to a simple meal?"

Huo Jiali suddenly asked.

"Where did you bury Wang Yan's parents and younger brother?"

"Throw... Oh dear, Miss Huo, who are these people you're talking about? And what do you mean by 'where are they buried'?"

Meng Renhuai almost blurted it out, but luckily he changed his mind in time. However, Huo Jiali and the others all heard the first word he said, and Huo Jiali's face became even more gloomy.

Throwing... the only option was to throw themselves into the sea. I never expected Wang Yan's family to die so tragically. Huo Jiali's teeth were grinding together, and her voice was a little hoarse.

"Meng Renhuai, why are you so cruel? You killed someone's daughter and then threw their whole family into the sea. Aren't you afraid of retribution for what you've done?"

Xiao Dao waved his hand, and an apprentice ran over quickly. Xiao Dao whispered a few words to the apprentice, and the apprentice ran off again.

Meng Renhuai's expression changed, and he no longer had the obsequious demeanor he had just displayed. He frowned and said...

“Madam, as a police officer, you should know that you need evidence to speak, and not to make baseless accusations. Who is this Wang Yan you're talking about? Who are her parents? Do they even have the right to speak to me?”

Huo Jiali took out the photo and handed it to Meng Renhuai. Meng Renhuai took it and his expression changed drastically. He turned his head and glared at Meng Zigui, then turned back and snorted.

"What is this? Is it a movie shoot? Tsk tsk tsk, this is quite explicit."

Huo Jiali knew that this evidence alone was insufficient to convict them. In her three years as a lawyer, she had witnessed countless cases of distorting the truth and turning undeniable guilt into innocence.

Lawyers like Chen Mingren, who are unscrupulous, are best at handling this kind of case. It's questionable whether a few photos can be used as evidence in court, so how can he be convicted?

The scene fell silent. Meng Renhuai chuckled softly.

“Madam, you are now in a high position and a member of Hong Kong’s top society. Why bother with these poor bastards? Every one of them who dies is one less. There’s no need to stand up for them.”

There are no victims in this case, not even the bodies of a family member. How can you overturn the case? Besides, what's the point of overturning the case?

Madam, take my advice. You have a family too. Even if you don't think about yourself, you should at least think about your family, right? Why make trouble for yourself?

Huo Jiali narrowed her eyes. Her family was always her weakness. If it weren't for her family back then, she would have taken the matter to the Governor's House long ago.

"President Meng, are you threatening me?"

Meng Renhuai met his gaze without flinching, his tone carrying an unwavering firmness.

"Is that what you think? Then let your opinion prevail."

Xiao Dao walked quietly to Huo Jiali. He was a head taller than Meng Renhuai. He looked down at Meng Renhuai, who was so frightened by his gaze that he took a half step back.

Xiao Dao gently patted Meng Renhuai's face with his right hand.

“You’re the first Meng Renhuai to threaten my wife to my face. I have to make sure you’re the last, because my wife is more important than my life.”

Meng Renhuai spoke in a hoarse voice, holding his breath.

"Who...who are you?"

Xiao Dao snapped his fingers twice with his left hand, and one of his apprentices rushed in from the doorway, handing him a document with both hands and saying in a low voice.

"Master, Twelve and Thirteen have already taken care of things in London,"

Xiao Dao opened the document and read it aloud.

"Meng Renhuai, originally named Meng Xiangren, was from Changzhou, Jiangsu Province. During the Japanese occupation, he served as the mayor of Shanghai..."

He glanced at Meng Renhuai, whose face was deathly pale, and a mocking smile appeared on his lips.

"Good heavens, he was a major traitor! After the Japanese surrendered in 1945, he fled to Hong Kong with his family, changed his name to Meng Renhuai, started a business in Hong Kong, and became the president of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce."

Meng Renhuai stared at Xiao Dao in astonishment, his eyes filled with terror. He had always believed that his history was well-covered up, but now it seemed that under absolute power, the truth he had concealed had been exposed.

"It turns out that Wang Yan was tricked by Qu Tingting to the rooftop, where she was raped by Meng Zigui and three other male classmates. Qu Tingting also scratched Wang Yan's face. When Wang Yan tried to report Meng Zigui and the others, Meng Zigui threw her off the rooftop. Then Meng Renhuai sent people to destroy the evidence."

"So, Meng Renhuai, Meng Zigui, and the other three male classmates have confessed and provided all the photos. Do you plead guilty or not?"

Meng Zigui's legs were already as weak as noodles, and he collapsed to his knees with a thud. Qu Tingting, on the other hand, remained seated, appearing quite calm, which aroused suspicion...
