Has there been any outcome regarding the whistleblower letter in Chapter 39? (2/2)
Reading Settings
Gu Huaiming was reading the newspaper under the desk lamp. After checking the time, he got up and knocked on Zhou Fei's door.
"Feifei, come out for a moment."
Zhou Fei changed her clothes and lay on the bed reading. When she heard Gu Huaiming call her, she felt a little uneasy.
"Dad, is there any result regarding the whistleblower letter?"
Gu Huaiming's expression was somewhat serious. "Feifei, you need to be mentally prepared."
Zhou Fei was startled. Had Li Fuguo said something unpleasant?
Although she did not have a relationship with Li Fuguo in the office as the whistleblower letter claimed, the two met privately quite often, and she was unsure if she had said anything ambiguous that caused him to misunderstand.
"Dad, what exactly happened? Tell me quickly."
"The Political Department received two letters of complaint. One of them was the one they brought to me yesterday, about you and Li Fuguo."
The other letter was a separate accusation against Li Fuguo for bribery. The Political Department has already investigated and summoned Li Fuguo for a meeting, and the result has been very unfavorable to our family.
Zhou Fei was puzzled. What did Li Fuguo's bribery have to do with her?
Gu Huaiming sighed and asked.
"Besides that hair clip, what else did you receive from Li Fuguo?"
Zhou Fei was somewhat displeased. "Dad, what kind of person do you take me for? It's just friendly interaction. Is it necessary to make such a big deal out of it?"
Gu Huaiming snorted, "If you don't explain things clearly to me, you'll have to explain everything one by one when the political department talks to you in a few days."
This is no longer just a matter between you and Li Fuguo; it involves our whole family.
According to the political department's investigation, Li Fuguo purchased a large amount of gifts in the past six months, and Li Fuguo has confessed that all of these gifts were given to you.
The whistleblower letter stated that Li Fuguo wanted to use your connections with me and your mother to get a promotion.
And he just happened to have received a promotion within the last six months, so now both of us are suspected of bribery.
Zhou Fei started to get scared. There was no evidence to prove that she had been having casual relationships with men and women, so there was nothing that could be done about it.
But how much did she receive from Li Fuguo?
That's quite a lot.
She had received gifts before, but in the past six months, Huo Qizheng had been away on missions, leaving her with nowhere to place her emotions, so she became closer to Li Fuguo.
Li Fuguo was also willing to spend money on her. He would send her delicious food and drinks every few days, take her shopping at department stores, and ask friends to bring her fashionable clothes and jewelry from other places.
Many of the items were not available at the military service center, and she liked them, so she accepted them.
Her father was a military region leader, and her mother was the head of the organization department. It was normal for people to fawn over her.
Who knew this would turn out like this?
Who wrote the whistleblower letter? They deserve to die.
"I...I only took some clothes and jewelry, that's all."
Gu Huaiming was exasperated. "Your mother and I give you pocket money every month, and we cover all your food and lodging expenses with our salaries. Plus, you work at the hospital, so your monthly salary isn't low."
Isn't this enough money for you? Why would you accept a gift from a man you have no intention of marrying?
Zhou Fei was speechless. She just... felt good about being fawned over. When Li Fuguo gave her things, it wasn't just because she was greedy for them.
Another reason stems from my own sensitive vanity.
But she couldn't tell Gu Huaiming any of this, otherwise the sensible and well-behaved persona she had maintained for so many years would collapse.
"Dad, I know I was wrong. What should I do now? Please help me."
Gu Huaiming was also involved; they were all in the same boat. If he didn't help her, he wouldn't fare any better.
"Dad, tell me what to do? I promise I'll listen to you and Mom from now on."
Gu Huaiming said with a stern face, "You'd better think about your relationship with Li Fuguo as soon as possible."
