Chapter 273 The Truth
After a period of investigation, things are finally starting to look clearer.
Gu Yulin took the evidence to see Lao Wang. In order to prevent Lao Wang from leaving, they detained him in the military headquarters on the grounds that he had instigated others to commit crimes.
To his surprise, the investigation revealed that Old Wang was the real culprit, having abused all the power within the Gu family to manipulate others...
This was unacceptable to Gu Yulin.
He had someone take Old Wang to the interrogation room, determined to make him confess this time.
Gu Yulin looked at Old Wang in front of him, his expression shifting from complex at first, to troubled, and finally to cold: "From now on, you don't need to make excuses. Honestly confess to your treason and how you used my third uncle..."
Old Wang was startled for a moment, but quickly calmed down, adopting a "what's the use" attitude: "I don't know what you're talking about."
As long as he stubbornly denies it, no one can do anything about it.
He had no attachments in his life and no one he cared about, so what could they do to him?
"Is that so?" Gu Yulin's lips curled into a cold smile. "You didn't think I came here unprepared to ask you anything, did you?"
"What you think is flawless is just your ideal state." Gu Yulin sneered: "I can find any surveillance cameras that exist in the world."
Gu Yulin handed the USB drive to the recorder and played it directly in front of Lao Wang. It contained his conversation with Liang Ran.
"These patents of yours are useless in China; they won't create much value for you. You might as well give them to me..."
"This...this patent is very important; it can't be sold overseas..."
"Don't worry, this is a secret transaction, and the reward I'm giving you will be quite generous."
Lured by the money, they signed the sales contract.
Then, it was Lao Wang's turn to change things again. He took the patent back and handed it over to Gu Hanchi, but Gu Hanchi only wanted to keep it in his own hands.
"I'll leave this patent alone for now and wait for someone to come to me for help."
"Third Master, the people in the US really like this patent and are offering a very high price. Why don't we sell it to them? Anyway, this patent has nothing to do with us."
"Nonsense, don't mention such ideas in front of me. Even if I'm incompetent, I would never do anything without principles."
"Yes, I understand, Third Master."
However, this patent eventually ended up in the hands of people from the US, who used it to counter China's information security, causing China to suffer considerable attacks.
If it weren't for the highly skilled hackers in China who independently safeguarded information security, China would likely have suffered considerable losses.
After watching the surveillance footage, Lao Wang was shocked, but he still stubbornly refused to admit it: "So what? How can that prove that I did it in the end?"
Gu Yulin had never seen such a stubborn man. He could still lie through his teeth in the face of evidence. Such composure was something that not everyone could possess.
“I did make things difficult for Luo Zhiwei, but that’s no reason for you to arrest me. After all, she wasn’t hurt at all.”
Old Wang spread his hands innocently, leaning back in his chair as if waiting for them to continue.
"But I found the video of you killing my third uncle."
"How could that be?" Old Wang feigned composure: "I've taken care of Third Master for over twenty years, would I harm him?"
As long as he can stick to this point, who can make things difficult for him?
Gu Yulin slammed his fist on the table and stood up, looking at him angrily: "I also want to ask you, why did you treat Uncle San so cruelly after taking care of him for so many years!"
He released another surveillance video he had uncovered, showing Gu Hanchi at the cemetery.
After he confessed to Luo Huining, he originally intended to commit suicide and had even prepared a dagger. However, unexpectedly, Old Wang stood behind him.
“Old Wang, I know you sold the patent. You are the real traitor. The only reason I haven’t exposed you all these years is because you have been really good to me.”
"Not handing you over is already more than enough of my kindness. If you want to live, you'd better go far away. Otherwise... my brother and Yulin will find out about you sooner or later."
"Third Master, don't exaggerate. The contract I gave Liang Ran is fake and can't be used as evidence in law. You were also involved in this, so no matter how you look at it, it can't be blamed on me."
In the scene, Gu Hanchi silently put away the dagger, seemingly indicating that he had no intention of dying.
Perhaps it was at that moment, upon learning of Old Wang's ambitious plans, that he decided he no longer intended to die.
"It's getting late, you can take me home."
Gu Yulin thought to himself that perhaps at that moment, his third uncle did not want to die; he might have wanted to eliminate this hidden danger, which was why he temporarily stopped.
Who would have thought that Old Wang would attack him from behind?
In the surveillance footage, Old Wang grabbed his third uncle's head and slammed it against the tombstone repeatedly, each time with tremendous force.
It's clear that he really wants Uncle San dead.
Only after his third uncle stopped responding did he tidy up and leave.
Since we're all going to die anyway, what difference does it make how we die?
Only when Gu Hanchi dies can everything be settled, right?
Even if an investigation is conducted in the end, how much of it will be related to him?
When Old Wang watched this surveillance footage, he lost his composure!
"Slander! Slander! This video is fake! I'm going to sue you for defamation!"
That's impossible. The cemetery only has surveillance cameras at the entrance; the rest of the area doesn't.
Why would Gu Yulin have such surveillance footage?
Gu Yulin sneered: "You think you can get away with anything just because there are no surveillance cameras near the cemetery? You're wrong."
"This surveillance footage was taken by a young director who wanted to shoot a horror film. He was scouting locations near the cemetery, recording some material for reference, and unexpectedly, he recorded this..."
Gu Yulin sneered: "My third uncle thought you were sold to people in the US at a high price, but in reality, you didn't receive a single penny, and even offered advice."
These were all discovered during this period, requiring the involvement of two intelligence agencies. Even just removing and destroying these surveillance cameras took a considerable amount of time.
But... at least, the Gu family's reputation was preserved. Third Uncle showed no signs of treason, which was something they discovered after spending so much time investigating.
No one can... wrongly accuse anyone during their investigation!
Old Wang hurriedly retorted, "You're talking nonsense! Everything you're saying is false, false!"
"I need to see my lawyer!"
Gu Yulin: "I'm giving you the opportunity to find a lawyer. Let's see which lawyer can help you when the evidence is conclusive. Can your so-called top lawyers in the US really help you?"
"What do you mean?"
Old Wang had a bad feeling.
Things didn't seem to go as he expected, nor did they develop in the direction he wanted.
how so!
Gu Yulin said coldly, his eyes filled with disdain: "Old Wang, you are a Chinese citizen. If something happens to you, no one will rush to help you, especially since this is treason. You have leaked major secrets."
"Liang Hai was greedy for small gains and forgot to tell you that his patent belongs to the state from beginning to end. What you've done constitutes the sale of state secrets and has caused incalculable losses. You..."
"Just wait to die!"
Old Wang didn't believe Gu Yulin's words. He tried his best to defend himself: "Even if I sold the patent, I sold an ordinary patent. How could it be a state patent? Stop making baseless accusations."
"Then I'll let you die knowing why."
Gu Yulin tossed over a document, an investigation report, which had been found in his third uncle's manor.
The patent was submitted to the state for certification.
Old Wang was instantly dumbfounded: "You've tricked me?"
"No, Gu Hanchi plotted against me!"
