Wen Qianqian was suddenly amused. She hadn't expected Sun Liang to be so capable of such a thing. Then she smiled and said, "Mr. Sun, what are you talking about? I'm a law-abiding citizen. How can I hit and scold someone?"
Sun Liang lowered his head and smiled, "Miss Wen is being too formal. She's refusing to let go of her anger. It seems she still has a lot of grievances against us."
He raised his head and pretended to be sincere: "It is better to resolve a feud than to create one. We came here today just to shake hands and make peace with Miss Wen."
After saying that, he took out a blank check and placed it in front of Wen Qianqian.
Wen Qianqian glanced at the check, her eyes playful, "What does Mr. Sun mean by this?"
Sun Liang tried to smile sincerely. "This is my peace gift to Miss Wen. There's no limit on the amount. Please fill it up as you please. As long as Miss Wen is happy, that's all."
Wen Qianqian's lips curled up: "Just to make me happy, is it that simple?"
Sun Liang pursed his lips and smiled, "Of course, Miss Wen is happy. If it is convenient, please destroy the things in your hands."
He changed the subject, speaking skillfully, "Miss Wen's willingness to accept the check means we can already make peace. So there's no need to be hard on your friend. Isn't that right, Miss Wen?"
Wen Qianqian smiled faintly, picked up the check on the table and played with it. Holding a pen, she pretended not to understand it and asked tentatively, "So, can I fill in any amount I want? I'll fill in 200 million?"
"Hiss!" Before Sun Liang could even finish his words, Zhang Li couldn't contain his excitement anymore. "Two hundred million? Why don't you just go rob them?"
Sun Liang immediately waved his hand to stop Zhang Li's nonsense and took a deep breath. Although he felt a brief dizziness when he heard Wen Qianqian ask for 200 million, he still forced himself to calm down. "No problem, as long as Miss Wen is happy, 200 million is 200 million."
Wen Qianqian shook her head upon hearing this: "No, even 200 million is not enough."
Sun Liang's brows immediately furrowed, and Zhang Li couldn't help but yell, "Even 200 million isn't enough. How much do you really want? Even asking for too much has to have a limit!"
Wen Qianqian sneered, "You know exactly what you've done. The amount of tax evasion is at least 1 billion. To get resources, you drugged the company's artists and sent them to the beds of wealthy men, forcing them to accept shoddy endorsements. Add all these things up, and you can calculate how many years you'll be in prison. If you ask me, it'll be at least 20 years, right?"
Sun Liang narrowed his eyes, and the surrounding hostility erupted. Finally, his true face was exposed. He asked in a cold voice, "What do you mean?"
Wen Qianqian chuckled. "What I mean is, I'm a police officer. What you're doing is illegal. I absolutely cannot agree to it. If I let you two pests off so easily, the State Administration of Taxation won't agree, and neither will the people you've harmed."
She looked at Sun Liang and said word by word, "So, you better go in obediently."
After saying that, he ignored the two people in front of him and started fiddling with his phone with one hand.
Seeing that she refused to accept the toast and was determined to send them to the police station, Sun Liang's eyes suddenly became violent and his voice was as cold as ice: "You are the only one here. If you don't cooperate with me, do you think you can walk out of this door safely?"
After saying that, he ordered Zhang Li: "Go, catch her for me. I must teach her a lesson today!"
Wen Qianqian sneered, and had just finished sending the text messages in her hand. Hearing this, she stood up, dodged Zhang Li who was rushing towards her, and then turned around and threw him over her shoulder.
Before Zhang Li could react to what was happening, he felt as if he had missed something and fell heavily to the ground.
"Ouch!" He couldn't help but yell a few times. He had no idea what tricks Wen Qianqian had used. He fell so hard that his whole body was in pain and he collapsed on the ground, unable to move.
Wen Qianqian walked up to him and touched his head with her toes condescendingly: "Get up, didn't you say you were going to teach me a lesson? Get up, come on, continue!"
As she spoke, she silently gave herself a score of 98 for her previous moves. Well, it seems that the fighting skills she had learned before were not in vain. At the critical moment, these moves were so fast and accurate that they could knock the enemy to the ground in one go.
Zhang Li's face turned red from holding his breath, and he yelled "Uh, uh" several times, but he still couldn't get up from the ground. Instead, his face turned as red as pig liver, and he almost couldn't breathe.
Seeing Zhang Li fall, Sun Liang realized that the situation was not right and started to run. However, as soon as he took a step, he was blocked by a group of people in police uniforms who rushed to the door and shouted, "Police! Don't move!"
Sun Liang was originally planning to run, but when he saw the police uniform, he suddenly remembered what Wen Qianqian had just said, "20 years in prison." He was so scared that his legs went weak and he slipped.
"1 minute and 56 seconds, a little faster than I expected. Thank you for your hard work, seniors." Wen Qianqian looked at the team of police officers coming in and said approvingly.
Several policemen smiled and said to the captain, "Captain Gu, this new girl is incredible. She won't officially report to the bureau until tomorrow, but she's already here to inspect our operations today. Fortunately, she arrived ahead of schedule and didn't embarrass our team."
Sun Liang tried several times to get up from the ground, but he was so frightened that his whole body was shaking. He tried several times but failed. Finally, he couldn't stand it anymore and collapsed, yelling at Wen Qianqian: "You actually called the police! When did you call the police?"
Wen Qianqian waved her phone: "Didn't you see me fiddling with my phone just now? Have you ever heard of texting the police?"
After saying that, Wen Qianqian didn't leave him alone. She took off her video equipment and handed it to the police comrades. Then she sealed the blank check on the table in a bag and breathed a sigh of relief. "Alright, they tried to bribe public officials and cover up the crime. We have the video footage and evidence. You can take them away."
"Please also investigate all the things they committed before." She smiled at her colleagues in the police station.
Captain Gu waved his hand, and the remaining police officers acted quickly to pull the man up from the ground.
The moment he stood up, something on Zhang Li's body fell to the ground with a "bang".
A police officer picked it up and immediately reported to Captain Gu: "Report, Captain Gu, a miniature camera was found on the suspect."
Zhang Li’s face turned pale in an instant.
Wen Qianqian walked over to take a look and instantly laughed: "You guys are really taking pictures of me."
Sun Liang's hands trembled: "You knew this a long time ago?"
Wen Qianqian smiled and said, "You're an old hand. You pretended to give me money, and after I accepted it, you used it as leverage to threaten me. You wanted to send me to jail to put an end to all future trouble, right?"
She looked at Sun Liang and smiled contemptuously: "I've seen this kind of thing a lot. From the moment you asked for a check, I knew what you were thinking. So, don't try to play tricks on the police."
Sun Liang stared at her with wide eyes. He couldn't believe that she saw through their tricks so easily, but he also hated her for being so cruel.
Of course, these corrupt elements in society must be dealt with decisively and forcefully. Wen Qianqian looked at him and let him go crazy, completely unmoved.
After bringing the people into the car, Captain Gu couldn't help but ask her, "You clearly have evidence of their tax evasion in your hands, why don't you just report it?"
Wen Qianqian looked at Captain Gu and said, "Although they committed tax evasion, it will take a long time to investigate. If they have me, I might first find an accountant to take the blame and then slowly destroy the evidence."
She pursed her lips and said, "I can't give them this opportunity." Then, she thought for a moment and added, "Actually, I only guessed they would do something shady at first, but I didn't expect them to actually do it. So of course I have to play along."
Captain Gu looked at her in surprise. He didn't expect that this young girl could be so efficient and experienced in handling matters. She didn't have the slightest sign of being a police officer. She didn't give the criminals any chance at all when she took action.
He smiled and said to Wen Qianqian, "Comrade Wen is very capable and has a bright future. He should work hard in the police station in the future."
Wen Qianqian immediately nodded in response: "Yes, thank you Captain Gu."
***
Wen Qianqian came home in the evening and lay on the sofa, browsing the news, when she saw today's headlines:
[Breaking News! Rumor has it that Xinyi Entertainment's CEO, Mr. Sun, and Vice President, Mr. Zhang, were suddenly taken away by police. They may be involved in a major case!]
Netizens are already eager to start gossiping:
[Xinyi Entertainment? Is it the entertainment company that's been trending recently?]
[Yes, yes, that's their company. They're quite large, considered one of the top entertainment companies in China. Yue Yingxue works for them. Rumor has it she was banned, but I don't know if their contract has been terminated. Wen Qianqian also works for them. She got the job through the civil service exam.]
"If you ask me, there's definitely something fishy about this damn company. Otherwise, how could someone as idiotic as Yue Yingxue come out of this company? And why are they even collaborating with Wei Jiaer's toxic company? It's obvious there's something fishy going on. If you ask me, Wen Qianqian probably knew about this company's awful affairs and worked so hard to get a civil service exam, because she couldn't be bothered to hang around with these idiots anymore."
I suddenly feel like Wen Qianqian is so inspiring. Her company is terrible, but she said she'd get the civil service exam if she passed. Our company is terrible too. I hope I can pass the civil service exam like her this year.
[Hey, sisters, I noticed something. I remember Wen Qianqian was supposed to report to the police tomorrow. Isn't it strange that the Xinyi CEO was arrested at this time? Do you think it has something to do with her?]
A group of impatient onlookers couldn't wait to leave a message on her Weibo:
[Qianqian, did you know about Xinyi's situation before? ]
[Qianqian, if you have any big news, please tell us.]
Wen Qianqian was in a good mood. After seeing this, she thought for a moment and replied: [Yeah, I know a little bit.]
Netizens were anxious and started scratching their heads:
[Qianqian, tell us what they did wrong.]
[Yes, there is melon to eat together! ]
Wen Qianqian smiled at their replies, somewhat touched by the cuteness of these netizens, but then replied seriously: "I can't say. The specific situation needs to wait for the results of the police investigation. I think it should be quite quick. If the facts are clear, there will be a report within 2 months."
The netizens who were watching the show cried out: [Qianqian, you've changed! Humph, you didn't even tell us! Look how loudly I cried!]
Wen Qianqian raised her lips and replied: [Touch, I really can't say it, it's a discipline requirement.]
Netizens: [Tsk, I'm so jealous and envious. I want to become a police officer too.]
Monday arrived quickly, and Wen Qianqian reported to the police station for the first time amid curiosity and congratulations.
The entire C District Police Station was alarmed. Everyone was curious and wanted to see what this newcomer, who had the double buff of being the top scorer in the national exam and a top female star, looked like.
So, wherever Wen Qianqian went, people were curious and welcomed her. For a while, the police station was bustling with activity. Officer Gu called his apprentice Pei You:
"Come on, Xiao Pei, take the new comrade Xiao Wen around the bureau and familiarize him with the environment."
Pei You nodded in agreement, then smiled at Wen Qianqian and extended his hand in a friendly manner: "Hello, Officer Wen, I'm Pei You from the Criminal Investigation Detachment."
Wen Qianqian smiled at him and extended her hand to shake his. "Hello, Officer Pei. I'm the new one, Wen Qianqian."
After they met, Pei You took her around the police station to familiarize herself with the environment. He quickly toured the police station and enthusiastically introduced it to her:
"This is Section Chief Li from the Legal Affairs Section."
"This is Captain Wang from the Criminal Investigation Brigade."
…
Wen Qianqian listened to him while silently taking note of these people. After going around in circles, she asked curiously, "Can you tell me which department I'll probably be assigned to?"
Pei You scratched his head. "I really don't know about that, but when girls come in, many of them go to the office or the political department, or maybe to manage XXX."
Wen Qianqian nodded and made a rough judgment in her mind.
Just as she finished her tour of the police station, Officer Gu called her over. "Xiao Wen, come here. Last time, you called the police to report that a taxi driver was taking advantage of his driving position to rape a female passenger. After investigation, the police have found the taxi driver and have detained him. We need your cooperation in taking a statement."
Wen Qianqian nodded: "No problem."
"Oh, and about the car accident case you reported to the police last time, you were the only eyewitness at the time. Once the taxi driver's statement is completed, you can also fill in the statement for the car accident case."
"Okay." Wen Qianqian agreed, and then followed the police to the interview room.
Watching Wen Qianqian's back as she left, Captain Liu, who came over from District D Police Station, jokingly looked at Captain Gu and said, "Your newcomer is incredible! I heard they uncovered a massive tax evasion case before they even officially reported. And during the public notice period, they encountered this taxi driver rape case and the hit-and-run case. Each of these is a major case. In the past, any of these cases would have been prioritized, but now you've got three cases right after you arrived."
"Hahahahahaha," he laughed, "You guys will be busy this year. If you can solve these three cases in a row, your district bureau will be famous throughout the imperial capital."
Captain Liu shook his head, looking somewhat distressed. "The first two are easy. Although they are indeed major cases, Qianqian brought evidence with her when she came. We can just arrest them directly and then slowly investigate until we have thoroughly investigated all the criminal facts."
He pinched his temples. "The last car accident case is the most troublesome. The police have been working overtime for several days, but they haven't found a single clue. The location is too remote, and there are no surveillance cameras nearby. We also checked the surveillance cameras on several major roads nearby, but found nothing. Moreover, the only witness at the entire car accident scene was Xiao Wen, and when she went to the scene, everyone had already run away."
"The most troublesome thing is that the person we hit was none other than the president of the Lu Group, a well-known wealthy individual here. The Lu Group alone is putting a lot of pressure on us, and the media is even more pressing. Just a few minutes ago, we received a call from a reporter from the Financial Daily, asking if we've found the vehicle involved in the accident."
At this point, he couldn't help but sigh: "Hey, we've been working overtime for several days. The day before yesterday, we stayed up all night to watch the surveillance, but still no results. The media these days is really driving people crazy."
Captain Liu teased him: "Who made you run into such a big shot?"
"Hey..." Captain Gu waved his hand in a speechless manner.
Half a day later, Wen Qianqian finished taking two statements and came out to meet Captain Gu. He waved and called her over: "Xiao Wen, there's something at the bureau that requires your cooperation."
Wen Qianqian nodded immediately: "Okay, go ahead."
Captain Gu pondered for a moment. "The most difficult case in the bureau right now is a hit-and-run. Because the people involved are so unique, and public attention is so high, the director wants to gather all the resources to solve the case as quickly as possible. But the problem is that even though we're working overtime to investigate, we've still found nothing because we don't have any surveillance footage. Since you're the only eyewitness, the traffic police want you to work with them to find the vehicle that caused the accident as soon as possible."
"Okay." Wen Qianqian nodded in agreement without saying anything.
After a brief exchange with the traffic police brigade, she returned to her office seat and began to carefully recall what happened that day.
She remembered that she heard a loud "bang" that day and rushed to the scene without stopping. However, it was a little far away. Even though she tried to be as fast as possible, the vehicle had already gone away by the time she arrived. She only remembered vaguely seeing the rear end of a crimson car flash by, and no other information.
Thinking of this, she asked the traffic police officer next to her: "How is the injured person's condition? Have you taken the statement? Can you show it to me?"
The team member answered truthfully, "The injured man was seriously injured, especially with glass piercing his abdomen, causing massive blood loss. Luckily, you passed by in time and bandaged him. Otherwise, if he hadn't been found in that remote area, he would have died long ago."
"After emergency treatment, he recovered well. I heard he can already get out of bed and walk around. It seems he will be discharged from the hospital in the next two days."
When it comes to taking a statement, the team members are a bit hesitant: "Because the man's injuries are serious and his identity is special, it's difficult to make an appointment with him. So far, we have only taken a statement once."
After saying that, he handed a copy of the transcript to Wen Qianqian.
Wen Qianqian took the transcript and looked through it carefully, and found that there was indeed no valuable content. Because the victim's entire head was swollen and he had lost too much blood, he could hardly open his eyes, and there was no information about the driver and the vehicle involved in the accident.
She continued to flip through the transcript and suddenly noticed a sentence: "I couldn't see his face clearly, but I spoke to him a few times. I thought his voice sounded a little familiar, as if I'd heard it somewhere before."
Upon seeing this, she immediately stood up and asked the team members: "Have you seen this sentence? Have you investigated it?"
The team member took a look and replied, "Captain Zhang has looked at it and thinks it sounds familiar. It could be someone close to the victim. We are currently investigating anyone familiar with the victim who might have a motive and timeframe for the crime."
After saying that, he basked in the sun and joked with Wen Qianqian, "You've seen those dramas about wealthy families, right? They're full of people fighting for power, wealth, and murder. Lu Xingyan is so rich at such a young age. He inherited the Lu Group right after graduating from university at the age of 22. There must be a lot of people around him who covet him, right?"
After saying that, he handed Wen Qianqian a copy of Lu Xingyan's personal biography.
He whispered to her, "Look at his profile. His parents died in a car accident when he was 16. He gave up the grades he could have gotten into Tsinghua University in China and went abroad directly. After his parents passed away, the Lu Group they founded was forcibly taken over by Lu Zhanxun, the second son of the Lu family and Lu Xingyan's uncle."
"After graduating, Lu Xingyan returned to China and spent two years battling his uncle. He finally won and took back most of the shares in the Lu Group. His uncle was unwilling to accept this, but because he didn't have that many shares, he had to be second only to his nephew."
He looked at Wen Qianqian. "How is it? Does it sound like a palace drama? You think his uncle was willing to accept the position of group boss, but was kicked out by his nephew? Rich people have many ways to deal with it. Do you think he would do something if he is unwilling to accept it?"
Wen Qianqian listened to it and thought for a moment, "So Captain Zhang has identified Lu Zhanxun as his main suspect?"
The team members nodded. "It's not just Lu Zhanxun. The Lu Group is so big and complicated. Isn't it often played like this in TV dramas? When the young master ascends the throne, many people hope for his death and hope to take advantage of the situation to make some profit."
"Honestly, after reading Lu Xingyan's profile, I feel like his life isn't as good as outsiders imagine. Although he appears to be a top noble in the capital, he lost both his parents at a young age and has always depended on his uncle for his survival. He finally managed to take back the Lu family, and to consolidate his power, he works tirelessly every day."
"Well, why would a wealthy man like him go to such a remote place and almost die there? Wasn't it because his car was hit and he had to take a taxi and take a shortcut?"
At this point, the team member couldn't help but sigh: "It's not worth it, it's really not worth it. No matter how much money I get, I won't envy him for living like this."
"Oh, we've strayed off topic." The team member smiled and returned to their previous topic: "Since Lu Xingyan said he heard the sound, Captain Zhang decided to start investigating those in the group around him."
Wen Qianqian took the information and read it slowly. Somehow, she had a hunch: No, she was going in the wrong direction. Lu Xingyan just said that he had heard this voice and it sounded a little familiar. If it was an acquaintance, he should have known the other person's identity immediately.
Thinking of this, a sudden flash of inspiration came to her mind, and she recalled the content of the novel.
In the book, Lu Xingyan lost too much blood in the car accident and died before he could go to the hospital. Due to the lack of surveillance and witnesses, the police spent three full years trying to solve the case, which later became almost an unsolved case, putting tremendous pressure on the police.
In the novel, the turning point of events actually happened in a variety show three years later. At that time, the program team invited the top actress Yue Yingxue, who had already gained fame and fortune, and the former top star Wu Huai, as well as several other stars, to play Truth or Dare according to the program requirements.
In the book, Wu Huai has always had a crush on Yue Yingxue, and he is still indignant after knowing that Yue Yingxue is with Qin Shen.
That day, perhaps because the atmosphere of the show was so good, the guests present at the Truth or Dare game were having a lot of fun, and the scale of the games became increasingly exaggerated.
When it was Yue Yingxue's turn, Wu Huai asked her, "If Qin Shen wasn't there, would you like other men, like me?"
