Chapter 1640 - 1640 He's My Helper
1640 He’s My Helper
He Weinian was a little flustered and hurriedly retorted, “Tingchen was the one who did that. What does it have to do with me?”
“Yes, that’s what Young Master He said too.” Qiao Xi smiled meaningfully. “He admitted that he planned this matter himself and it has nothing to do with anyone else. He framed Gu Zheng because he was jealous of him.”
He Weinian’s heart skipped a beat as he felt inexplicably flustered.
That was not right! The necklace he gave Tingchen was clearly real, so why was the necklace found in Longwan Residential fake?
“It’s getting late, so we won’t disturb Chairman He anymore. The police will definitely come to investigate later.” Qiao Xi turned around and faced the reporters. “I’ll have to trouble everyone to tell the truth about what happened here today.”
The reporters hesitated for a few seconds before understanding Qiao Xi’s intentions. He Weinian held a press conference to ruin Gu Zheng’s reputation. Now that it had been proven that Gu Zheng was innocent and the real culprit was He Weinian’s son, not only would Gu Zheng be able to clear his name if news of this got out, but he would also cause the He family to suffer a considerable blow. It could be considered as taking revenge on the He family.
Indeed, this reversal caused a new wave on the internet.
[F*ck! We misunderstood Gu Zheng! He was arrested to cooperate with the police’s investigation and was scolded by everyone for five days. I heard that Gu Corporation’s shares have plummeted. My heart aches for my idol!]
[I didn’t expect He Tingchen to hide the necklace in Longwan Residential to frame Gu Zheng. But isn’t He Tingchen a fool? Does he have the IQ to scheme against Gu Zheng? Moreover, he and Gu Zheng are good friends. Isn’t it a little far-fetched to ruin Gu Zheng just because of jealousy?]
[He Tingchen hid the necklace in Longwan Residential. Right on the heels of that, He Weinian reported Gu Zheng. The villa is so big, so he found it in the study. Is there a possibility that He Weinian ordered He Tingchen to frame Gu Zheng? But isn’t he Gu Zheng’s master?]
[He Weinian betrayed Gu Zheng five years ago and even cut ties with Gu Zheng before leaving the country. It’s just that He Weinian held a charity banquet as soon as he returned to the country, so everyone stopped mentioning that matter.]
After reading the news online, Qiao Xi put down her phone and looked at the man beside her. “I have a question. Since He Tingchen was ordered by He Weinian to hide the necklace, that sly old fox would definitely have given He Tingchen the real necklace in order to ensure that the plan went smoothly. However, what was found in Longwan Residential is fake. Moreover, not only did He Tingchen get a servant to hide the necklace, but he was also captured by the surveillance cameras. He made many stupid mistakes, which makes me find it strange.”
Gu Zheng smirked and chuckled. “That’s right, he did it on purpose. He Tingchen is my helper.”
Qiao Xi gasped. She had thought of many possibilities, but she had never thought of this.
“He Tingchen helped you scheme against He Weinian?”
“He’s not just trying to help me. He just hopes that he can pull his father back from the precipice,” Gu Zheng said slowly. “Actually, He Tingchen looked for me half a month ago. He probably knew the secret behind He Weinian’s charity and knew that He Weinian wanted to frame me. He felt uneasy, so he told me about this. He hoped to take this opportunity to teach He Weinian a lesson and turn over a new leaf.”
Qiao Xi shook her head. “He Weinian is even willing to kill his own children. It’s impossible for him to turn back.”
“He Weinian didn’t even tell He Tingchen about the dirty things he did. He protects his son very well. He knows that He Tingchen is pure-hearted. If he finds out that he has dozens of lives on his hands, he might even go crazy!” Gu Zheng said softly.
“I know you don’t like He Tingchen. He’s weak and stupid, but he’s the only pure, kind, and moral person in the entire He family besides He Wenyin.”
Qiao Xi could not help but nod. Although He Tingchen was annoying, he was indeed a good person. He was willing to work with Gu Zheng!
Gu Zheng said indifferently, “This isn’t something I should worry about. He Weinian will naturally think of a way to save him.”
…
A few days later, He Weinian finally arrived at the police station. After confirming that there were no surveillance cameras or recording equipment around, he suddenly stood up and rushed in front of He Tingchen. He grabbed his collar and gritted his teeth as he questioned, “Tingchen, the necklace I gave you was clearly real. How did it suddenly become fake?
“I instructed you to handle such a small matter, but you couldn’t even do it well and were even arrested. Now, the rumors outside are about to drown the He family!”
He Tingchen’s eyes were lifeless as if he did not hear him.
