Mistaking My Sister-In-Law for My Wife After Getting Drunk!

The other cop sneered, "If it's not about you, it's none of your business? Do you think we would go to all this trouble to arrest you if we didn't have evidence? Given the things you've done, you should know what's coming to you. Confessing is your only way out!"

Jiang Guohao came back to his senses: "I need to call my lawyer; that's my right!"

"Sure." The cop smiled and handed him his cell phone.

Jiang Guohao picked up the phone and dialed a number.

The number was not that of a lawyer, but another real estate tycoon working with him.

Because he knew, at this point, a lawyer was no use, only clout mattered.

He wanted this real estate magnate to get in touch with Boss Wu.

Here, he didn't dare to contact Boss Wu directly.

As soon as the call connected, before he could speak, a voice came through, "I'm a police officer, the owner of this phone has been arrested!"

Fuck!

Jiang Guohao was so shocked he almost cried out.

What in the world was happening?

How did this guy get arrested too?

He hurriedly hung up and dialed another real estate magnate's number.

As soon as the call connected, before he could speak, he heard a voice.

"Police, don't move!"

No need to say, they'd been arrested too.

Jiang Guohao quickly hung up, wiping the sweat off his forehead, and dialed the last real estate magnate's number.

This time it was indeed the magnate's voice, but it didn't sound good.

"Old Jiang, I'm already in a police car."

Jiang Guohao immediately hung up the phone.

Fucking hell, all three real estate magnates he was working with had been arrested.

Jiang Guohao wiped the sweat from his forehead again; his back was also soaked with sweat.

With each call he made, his heart sank a little more.

He still wasn't ready to give up, though.

Originally, he didn't dare and didn't plan to call Boss Wu here.

But now, there was no choice but to make the call.

Soon, the call went through.

Jiang Guohao lowered his voice and said, "Boss Wu, I've been arrested by the police, and so have my friends. Can you think of a way to help us?"

Instead of a familiar voice, an unfamiliar, mocking voice came through: "Heh, 'Boss Wu,' that's quite a title. Wu Tian, you let people call you boss, seems like you really want to make money. If you want to earn money, don't be an official, and yet you cling to slogans about serving the people. I'm embarrassed for you!"

Boss Wu's voice came through: "I didn't want to make money, they're calling me that on their own. I genuinely serve the people, and all my savings are from my legitimate salary. You can check. My living expenses are in line with a public servant who serves the people!"

The mocking voice spoke again: "Stop talking about serving the people; it's ironic even to hear it. Do you think we won't find the cash hidden in one of the bedrooms at your sister-in-law's house?"

Hearing this, Jiang Guohao's head buzzed incessantly.

He knew he was done for.

The most significant connection had collapsed.

His case was solidly evidenced; he was completely finished.

Needless to say, these were all Xu Yang's doing.

This Xu Yang, is he really that formidable?

God knows what means he used to get hold of evidence against himself and others and sent it to the police.

It's all because he underestimated Xu Yang, who clearly had such impressive achievements, able to easily find scandals on celebrities and the children of the wealthy.

Why couldn't he believe that Xu Yang would also be able to find dirt on him?

If he hadn't gone against Xu Yang and just bid normally, perhaps none of this would have happened.

But now, it's too late for any regrets.

Officer B said, "Jiang Guohao, how about it, still clinging to a shred of hope?"

Jiang Guohao hastily replied, "I'll confess, I'll confess everything. I know that coming clean voluntarily can lead to a more lenient sentence. Please ask the court not to sentence me to death."

Bang!

Officer B slammed the desk and shouted, "Jiang Guohao! You have no right to negotiate with us. What you need to do is lay out all of your criminal activities in full detail. The court will give you a fair trial!"

"Yes, yes, I won't make conditions, I confess…" Jiang Guohao said with a face full of regret and fear.

On Xu Yang's side.

Xu Yang was having tea with Lan Penghua.

They had just learned over the phone that Jiang Guohao had been taken away by the Economic Investigation Team.

Originally, they were going to take Xu Yang and Lan Penghua away as well.

However, after the head of the Economic Investigation Team received a phone call, they did nothing and even apologized before leaving with the team.

Lan Penghua said, "President Xu, that's it for Jiang Guohao and the others?"

Xu Yang nodded and replied, "Yes, the things those few have done amount to either death penalty or life imprisonment. I believe that Jiang Guohao is definitely facing the death penalty as he is responsible for a life taken in a particularly heinous way, and with the other things he's done, the death penalty is a certainty.

The other three don't have murder charges, but what they did was also very severe, so they should get life imprisonment. Even if it eventually gets reduced to a fixed-term sentence, it would be twenty or thirty years before they could get out. Considering their current age, if they ever get out in their lifetime, they should consider themselves extremely lucky."

Lan Penghua sighed and said, "These people, they truly got what they deserved."

Xu Yang continued, "And their network of relationships has already been taken away by the discipline authorities. That guy received a lot of money and just kept it at his sister-in-law's place. In one of the bedrooms, there was a pile of cash amounting to hundreds of millions."

This was what he had found out; if there was a trace online, it could be tracked down.

That guy's sister-in-law had even taken photos with a smartphone.

Lan Penghua said, "To take so much money and not be afraid of bursting. What are these people thinking? They take the money but dare not spend it, what's the point?"

Those officials, if they spend money liberally, they will attract attention.

Having taken the money, they also couldn't spend like businessmen.

He truly couldn't understand what those people were doing with all that money.

Xu Yang laughed and said, "That, I really don't know. The discipline authorities understand best. It's a pity we don't know these people. There's a portrayal in films and television that taking money can become addictive. In the beginning, it's not much, but as they continue, they can't stop their hands. Perhaps that's one explanation." Read exclusive content at empire

After a pause, he added, "Regardless, now that Jiang Guohao and his group have been caught, we don't need to deal with ring-fencing bids anymore; normal bidding will do. Originally, we organized ring-fencing bids only to force Jiang Guohao and his group to give up."

Lan Penghua nodded and replied, "Right, normal bidding will be fine. I will contact people immediately to handle it."

With that, he quickly made a phone call.

After giving quick instructions, he hung up the phone.

The specifics would be handled by his subordinates.

Lan Penghua said, "President Xu, the matter is settled, so I'll take my leave now, as there are many other things I need to deal with."

Xu Yang replied, "Okay, call me if you need anything in the future."

Xu Yang walked Lan Penghua to the elevator, watched him enter, and waited until the elevator doors closed before returning to the office.
