Fifteen minutes later.

Gao Dacheng rushed back, covered in dust from his journey.

He asked, "Captain, are there any other tasks?"

Guan Feng pointed to the conference room door and said, "Take Qi Xia with you and take statements from everyone in the conference room, focusing on questions related to Qian Hao, and see how they react."

Gao Dacheng's expression hardened, and he asked in a low voice, "Captain, do you suspect that there are other people in the room colluding with Qian Hao?"

Guan Feng shook his head and said, "Judging from the surveillance footage, it's unlikely, but it's not impossible. So we still need to focus on ruling it out and also find out more information about Qian Hao, which requires micro-expression analysis."

Gao Dacheng understood and said, "Okay! I'll go over there now."

Guan Feng nodded and watched the other party leave. He then looked around the entire villa, checking if there were any gaps in the case. He found that there weren't any for the time being, and everything was progressing in an orderly manner. All that remained was to wait for the investigation results.

He returned to the sofa, looked at Shang Wanting, and asked, "Chairwoman Shang, I just asked around and everything is progressing smoothly. Now I'd like to ask about your interpersonal relationships. Have you offended anyone recently?"

Shang Wanting looked somewhat embarrassed and shook her head, saying, "I'm in business. If you're talking about blocking someone's path to wealth, that's for sure! I've criticized quite a few subordinates before, so I guess I've offended some people, right? But surely it's not worth doing something like this?"

Guan Feng said, "This isn't up to Chairman Shang. The case is urgent, and we can't let any clue slip by. So please, Chairman Shang, think it through carefully. Lily, you take notes."

Huang Lili turned on the recorder, took out paper and pen, and began to record.

Guan Feng asked, "Chairman Shang, the Shang Group mainly operates in the pharmaceutical and medical device industries, right?"

Shang Wanting nodded and said, "I used to work at our Huaan Pharmaceutical Factory. Thirty years ago, I went into business and founded Shang's Pharmaceutical Company. Over the years, the group has expanded to include industries such as healthcare and real estate, but it is still mainly focused on healthcare."

Guan Feng asked, "Are there any major competitors?"

Shang Wanting said, "It's mainly the XX family and the XX family."

Guan Feng asked, "Have you had any recent disputes with these two companies?"

Shang Wanting shook her head and said, "No! It's just normal business competition. Besides, both companies are located outside the province. They wouldn't use such underhanded tactics, especially since it involves cross-province competition."

Guan Feng asked, "Where exactly are these two companies located?"

Shang Wanting named two provinces.

Guan Feng immediately thought it was too remote and unlikely, so he continued to ask, "What about the company?"

Shang Wanting said, "The main issue is related to job-related crimes. The phenomenon of extortion and bribery is rampant and I abhor it. Last month, I fired two sales directors. This matter caused a lot of unpleasantness."

Guan Feng asked, "Was it sent in?"

Shang Wanting said, "Yes, we didn't know until we investigated, and what we found was shocking. The kickbacks involved by the two directors amounted to tens of millions of yuan, which is all company money. Therefore, the company has been cracking down on malpractices recently and has dealt with a number of people, about twenty or thirty. Could it be that these people are behind this?"

Guan Feng said, "Money can move people's hearts, especially when it involves a sum of tens of millions. How did these people behave at the time? Did they accept the punishment?"

Shang Wanting said, "The facts are right in front of them, and they have no choice but to admit it."

Guan Feng asked, "So you still have objections? Do you have information on these people?"

Shang Wanting said, "Shall I have someone from the board's office send over a copy?"

Guan Feng said, "It's not appropriate for outsiders to know the situation inside the villa for the time being. Do you have a fax machine here? Have them fax it over."

Shang Wanting said, "Okay."

He then dialed the secretary in the company's board office.

A moment later.

The other party sent me a document.

Shang Wanting printed them out using the fax machine in the study on the first floor, then handed them to Guan Feng and said, "Including those two directors, there are a total of 32 people. These are their files, and the Dong office has collected them all."

Guan Feng nodded, took the thick stack of documents, and looked at the contents, trying to find some clues.

As he observed, he asked, "Are there any key suspects?"

Shang Wanting shook her head and said, "I'm at a very high level, and I don't usually have contact with these people. If you want me to ask who I suspect, I really don't know much about them, but the head of the sales department might know something."

Guan Feng asked, "Is the sales manager reliable?"

Shang Wanting thought for a moment and said, "I started my business with my elders, so they should be reliable."

Guan Feng said, "In that case, give him a call and ask if he has time in the next couple of days. Remember, once he enters this villa, his phone must be handed over and he must not leave until the case is solved."

Shang Wanting said, "Okay, I'll ask him."

She dialed the number of the sales manager, and the call was answered a moment later. Shang Wanting got straight to the point and asked about his situation. She learned that he did not have any special tasks for the next two days, so she asked him if he could overcome the difficulties at home. The company had an important task to assign him, but he would need to go on a business trip for two days and was not allowed to disclose any information during that time.

The sales manager immediately said no problem.

Shang Wanting said, "Okay, come to my house. This matter is related to the opening of new channels, so we can't let too many people know about it. Drive over yourself, and we'll talk in detail when we meet."

The sales manager immediately agreed.

Shang Wanting hung up the phone and looked at Guan Feng.

Guan Feng checked the time and said, "Judging by the time, they should have called by now. Chairman Shang, you should prepare for both possibilities. On one hand, cooperate with us, and on the other hand, consider what to say when you receive the call."

Shang Wanting said, "Okay."

As they were talking.

Ring ring!

Her phone rang.

Shang Wanting looked over and saw an overseas call coming in. Her expression immediately tightened, and she quickly looked at Guan Feng.

Guan Feng said, "Chairman Shang, don't be nervous. We've already told you about all the possibilities. If there's any unexpected situation, I'll let you know."

Shang Wanting nodded seriously.

Guan Feng then looked towards the communications department, where a technician was giving a "yes" sign.

Guan Feng said, "Connect it."

Shang Wanting answered the phone.
