Chapter 295 A Traitor

Watching Captain Xing lead Zhou Quan away, Lu's mother finally breathed a sigh of relief. She quickly stepped forward and took Shen Li's hand, her fingertips still trembling slightly: "It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright. I was so scared when I heard about drugs."

"Mom, I'm sorry to have worried you," Shen Li said, gently patting the back of her hand to comfort her.

Second Uncle also breathed a sigh of relief, repeatedly saying, "It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright."

After calming Lu's mother down, Shen Li turned to Chen Haisheng and said, "Butler Chen, summon all the servants in the courtyard to the main hall in the front yard. I have something to say."

Chen Haisheng's face darkened, and he replied in a low voice, "Okay."

He was filled with self-blame and guilt.

Zhou Quan was the one who recommended him, and now that this has happened, he cannot shirk his responsibility.

Will the employer fire him because of this?

He finally got this stable and respectable job and started living a good life. Is it all going to be ruined like this?

A cold wind blew in from the doorway, but Chen Haisheng felt hot all over, and his clothes were soaked with cold sweat on his back.

As soon as Shen Li reached the front yard, she saw Grandma Shen and Grandpa Yu rushing over.

"Lili, how are you? Are you alright?" Grandma Shen held her hand, her eyes full of anxiety.

She had just gotten up when Wang Ma told her that the police had come to her house. She was very worried, fearing that it would be like the scene from years ago.

Shen Li gently patted her grandmother's hand and said softly, "Grandma, I'm fine, don't worry. Right and wrong will be judged fairly."

Grandpa Yu nodded in agreement, letting out a sigh of relief: "It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright."

Soon, all the servants gathered in the main hall. There weren't many servants in the courtyard to begin with, and they all arrived in no time.

Shen Li sat in the main seat, her gaze calmly sweeping over everyone before finally settling on Zhou Cuihua.

"You all probably don't know what happened this morning! Let me tell you all about it..."

Shen Li explained the whole story in one sentence.

Finally, he said, "As for those who betray their own people, we dare not use them at the villa anymore."

"Zhou Cuihua, you and Zhou Quan are siblings, right?"

Zhou Cuihua's heart skipped a beat, her face changed instantly, and she hurriedly stood up: "Young Madam, it's...it's a brother and sister."

Shen Li didn't mince words and said directly, "He was bribed to plant drugs in my study, intending to frame me. Half a pound of drugs—do you know how many years I'd go to jail if that's proven true?"

"I can say with a clear conscience that we have treated you well when you came to our villa. The wages are not low, and we, as the hosts, have never complained. You just need to do your jobs well."

"This is the first and the last time. I don't know how Zhou Quan was bribed, whether it was with money or by threatening the safety of his family..."

"But what I want to say is that having money doesn't guarantee you'll live to enjoy it, and as for family..."

Shen Li did not make the rest of his words very clear.

Click till.

If someone asks you to betray your master's family under the guise of family members.

Is it wrong for the host family to do this...?

Shen Li looked at Zhou Cuihua: "Cuihua, you're a hard worker, but you're still siblings. As long as there's blood ties, there will be bonds. So, you should find another job!"

Shen Li knew, of course, that Zhou Cuihua was innocent, but they were siblings. If Zhou Quan were to come out and seek revenge on Shen Li, then Zhou Cuihua would be a ticking time bomb in the villa.

"What?!" Zhou Cuihua exclaimed in shock, her face as pale as paper, and she swayed, almost losing her balance.

After saying that, she turned to her second father and said, "Second father, later you can have someone calculate her salary and give her an extra month's pay. That would be more than enough for me."

Zhou Cuihua stood there, looking lost and dejected, before finally whispering, "Thank you, young mistress."

Only she knew that at that moment, her molars were almost ground to powder.

Zhou Quan is such an idiot!

Why not enjoy a perfectly good life instead of doing something so heinous!

Has he forgotten all those hard days?

Now look what's happened! Not only is she going to jail, but she's also ruined her job!

After dealing with Zhou Cuihua, Shen Li's gaze fell on Chen Haisheng: "Butler Chen..."

Before she could finish speaking, Fan Chunhua pleaded, "Young Madam, please give Haisheng another chance! He truly knows he was wrong and will definitely discipline his subordinates more strictly in the future. This will absolutely never happen again!"

Shen Li frowned, her tone serious: "Opportunity? Do you know how serious this is? Without evidence, I'd be taken to the police station today. At best, my reputation would be ruined; at worst, I'd be in jail!"

Chen Haisheng lowered his head heavily, his voice hoarse: "Young Madam, I misjudged people and made a mistake in hiring them. I know I was wrong. I will accept whatever punishment you give me without complaint."

He knew in his heart that the seriousness of the matter was far beyond his imagination.

The fact that the master has achieved his current status is entirely due to his negligence; this time, someone took advantage of his weakness.

He has no face to ask for forgiveness.

Looking at his sincere attitude, Shen Li remained silent for a moment before saying, "Considering your good attitude in admitting your mistake and the fact that you've been with the family for so long, I'll give you another chance. This month's salary will be deducted as a lesson for you. If there's a next time, you'll be fired without exception."

Chen Haisheng was stunned for a moment, seemingly not expecting Shen Li to let him off so easily.

Realizing what had happened, he quickly bowed deeply, his voice choked with emotion: "Thank you, young mistress! Thank you, young mistress! I will definitely remember this lesson and never do it again!"

As the days went by, the weather grew colder and colder, and the cold wind swirled withered leaves in the yard. Everyone started to buy winter clothes.

After Zhou Quan was arrested, the case quickly made a breakthrough.

Following his lead, the police not only uncovered the Feng family members who were behind him, but also dismantled a well-hidden underground drug trafficking organization.

Shen Li didn't pay much attention to these matters.

She is now focused on two things: resting and recuperating during her pregnancy, and attending classes and reading books diligently.

After becoming pregnant, her body became unusually sluggish, she was always sleepy, and she couldn't muster any energy to go anywhere.

For safety reasons, Lu Cheng specially assigned two bodyguards to accompany her, namely Feng Hua and Zhao Qing.

Every morning, the two of them would come to pick her up from school on time; and after class in the evening, they would wait for her at the gate on time.

The rest of the time, they stood guard at the entrance of the villa, not disturbing her life, but always remaining vigilant.

Finally, in early December, good news came from the factory—they had successfully assembled their first rice cooker!

As soon as the rice cooker was launched, Shen Li immediately devised a promotional plan.

She knew that people's living conditions were getting better and better. Almost every family with a slightly better financial situation had a television. Even if they didn't have a color television, black and white televisions were becoming more common.

Therefore, she plans to spend money to play GG on TV to let more people know about this new product.
