Chapter 163 [(*^▽^*)]
Jiang Changdong had no idea whether the investigation would reach them, but at least on his side, the Public Order Administration would definitely not find any actual evidence against them.
Even if Lin Leyou saw it with his own eyes, so what? Can they arrest him without any evidence?
"What's the panic? The more this happens, the more you need to stay calm. Just act like nothing happened. As for the money you transferred to her before, just go through the agreement you made before!"
"What could possibly happen!"
Jiang Changdong's eyes were icy cold, and Qiu Baiyu was terrified by his gaze. "Zhou Wanwan certainly wouldn't be foolish enough to reveal the truth, remember that?"
Qiu Baiyu snapped out of her daze and nodded somewhat awkwardly, "I'll remember."
Jiang Changdong rubbed his eyes wearily. "Where's Xia Ming?"
Qiu Baiyu: "My son went out to see where he can get better defensive equipment."
Speaking of this, Jiang Changdong felt a surge of dislike for Jiang Xiaoyue. "You're more trouble than you're worth. Was it your idea to send her to hide in that dungeon?"
"You think I'll be less angry and stop targeting her after a few years? Let me tell you, she's caused me so much trouble this time, I'll never forgive her, not even after a few years, not even after decades!"
Qiu Baiyu was a little unhappy when she heard him say that, so she whispered to comfort him, "She is still your own daughter."
Jiang Changdong suddenly stood up, staring at Qiu Baiyu for a long time. Qiu Baiyu didn't dare to speak and could only sit stiffly in place.
After a moment of hesitation, Jiang Changdong slowly spoke, saying softly, "I know she's my biological daughter, otherwise do you think she'd still be alive today?"
With that casual remark, Jiang Changdong left, leaving Qiu Baiyu trembling with fear. He was telling the truth!
Jiang Changdong really wanted to kill Jiang Xiayue!
She was spared only because of their blood relation. If Jiang Xiaoyue were to act recklessly again in the future, Jiang Changdong might really disregard blood ties and harm her!
Although Qiu Baiyu felt somewhat sad, she was also somewhat relieved that she had let Jiang Xiaoyue leave last night.
But she also felt some resentment towards Jiang Xiayue. If it weren't for her, her family would definitely be doing very well now, instead of things being like this. Moreover, Jiang Changdong, who had always treated her well, wouldn't be treating her like this now.
However... it's too late to say anything now.
After Hua Yun'an captured Zhou Wanwan, she locked her in a cell at the Bureau of Order Management.
Once Zhou Wanwan is locked up in this place, unless Hua Yun'an can't produce any evidence after the investigation, she can forget about ever getting out unharmed.
Zhou Wanwan certainly wouldn't just sit there and wait to die; she actively sought out others to rescue her, such as the person who had always sheltered her from the storm.
After all, she had done this many times before, and a few times she almost got caught, but the other party kept covering for her because she paid enough money.
Although this time it's a bit troublesome, with Hua Yun'an coming to her door, she hasn't skimped on the money she was owed. If the other party doesn't help her and she can't extricate herself from the situation, then the evidence she's kept all this time won't just stay hidden forever.
Since we're all doomed anyway, how can we not drag a few down with us?
Hua Yun'an's investigation speed was undeniably fast. There were several cases where he was close to finding out the truth, but the investigation was stopped for some inexplicable reason.
Even if it takes a long time to investigate now and a lot of evidence has been destroyed, it's impossible to completely erase all the evidence once something has been done.
After several days of active investigation, Hua Yun'an really found a lot of evidence, not just a little, but a lot!
It seems the other party didn't even bother to destroy much of the evidence after the Bureau of Public Order stopped its investigation. It's really baffling. But it's perfect, it's a win-win situation for us.
The evidence at hand is sufficient to prove Zhou Wanwan's actions.
It turns out that Zhou Wanwan not only traded with Jiang Changdong's family, but also with many other people, and each time she charged more than a million points.
The points they uncovered alone totaled over 200 million, which is enough to show that Zhou Wanwan sold out this intelligence information on an insanely frequent basis.
These things were actually enough to convict Zhou Wanwan, but he couldn't find any evidence of transactions between Zhou Wanwan and Jiang Changdong's family.
Although some information could be found that was betrayed to Jiang Changdong and his group, all the people associated with this information were dead without exception, and no evidence could be found at all!
That's right, there's no way to prove that Jiang Changdong killed these people. And although Zhou Wanwan was checking messages and talking to Qiu Baiyu, she couldn't find the content of the calls or messages.
They couldn't find out how Jiang Changdong and his group paid Zhou Wanwan the reward. Although they were suspected, they couldn't find any evidence to arrest or even convict them.
Perhaps... asking Zhou Wanwan directly would yield the information and evidence I need, but would Zhou Wanwan tell me? Would she drag Jiang Changdong and the others into this mess?
If Zhou Wanwan is unwilling to talk, then... Hua Yun'an can only apologize to his good colleague, since there's nothing he can do if he can't find any evidence.
In addition, Lin Leyou got away scot-free and probably won't even get any compensation. If only Lin Leyou could have filmed Jiang Changdong attacking him, but unfortunately he didn't.
In reality, no one would carry a recording device with them all the time, since they never expected to be attacked.
Hua Yun'an finally decided to talk to Zhou Wanwan first to see if she could get Zhou Wanwan to say it herself. If she could, it would save time and effort.
As he turned to walk toward the cell, he ran into Lin Wanyi halfway there. What incredible luck!
Lin Wanyi: "Old Hua, how's the investigation going?"
Hua Yun'an's lips twitched. "Try calling me that again and see what happens?"
Lin Wanyi coughed lightly, "What's wrong? Never mind, I just came to ask how the investigation is going. It's been several days already."
Hua Yun'an sighed, "Do you think this matter is so easy to investigate? There are people above me who are preventing me from continuing the investigation."
Lin Wanyi's expression changed. "Who is it?"
Hua Yun'an shrugged. "I don't know. They're all secretly obstructing me. I can't find out exactly who's stopping me. I guess they don't dare to reveal their identities."
"But don't worry, the evidence is conclusive, and Zhou Wanwan will definitely pay the price. The person above probably knows this too, so he didn't continue to do anything futile."
Lin Wanyi said, "It's a pity that we couldn't find any protection from above this time. The Bureau of Order Management still has some serious problems."
Hua Yun'an said, "Alright, this isn't just the two of us in the Order Management Bureau. There are so many people here. Besides, even if someone from above does something bad for personal gain, they wouldn't dare to do it openly. After all, the Order Management Bureau isn't a place that cares about status or position. If someone breaks the rules, no matter how high their status is, they'll still be arrested!"
“We are enforcers of the Bureau of Order and Control, and we hold the position of captain. No matter how high their status, as long as the evidence is presented, we can arrest them!”
Lin Wanyi: "Alright, I came to ask about my friend's situation. How's the investigation going?"
Hua Yun'an shook his head, "We've investigated almost everything else, but we can't find any evidence regarding Jiang Changdong's family and Lin Leyou's matter."
Lin Wanyi frowned slightly. "What's going on? Insufficient evidence?"
Hua Yun'an said, "That's right. Although some things can be used as evidence, they can't be used to convict someone. For example, Zhou Wanwan did call Qiu Baiyu after checking Lin Leyou's information, but no one knows what they talked about, nor can anyone find out how Jiang Changdong and the others paid her."
"Furthermore, although Jiang Changdong was outside the amusement park gate at the time, Lin Leyou was not injured, and no surveillance cameras captured any footage of her."
“When you and Jiang Xiali arrived there, you saw Jiang Changdong nearby, which only proves that he was there at the time, but it doesn’t mean that he attacked Lin Leyou. The trace on the ground will just be wasted.”
"So, all these things combined, I have no way to arrest Jiang Changdong and the others."
Lin Wanyi: "So, Zhou Wanwan can already be convicted, but Jiang Changdong and his family can escape punishment?"
Hua Yun'an nodded, "Yes, that's right, do you have any good ideas?"
“Jiang Changdong and his gang are really cunning. I don’t know what to do now. Logically speaking, this matter should have been investigated to this point.”
Lin Wanyi whispered something in Hua Yun'an's ear, and he hesitated, "Is this really okay? Will Zhou Wanwan fall for it?"
Lin Wanyi smiled and said, "You can give it a try. I think it should be fine."
Hua Yun'an gradually came to her senses and said, "You're the one who's dirty. Even if Zhou Wanwan knows it's my scheme, she'll still be very likely to confess the details of the deal with Jiang Changdong and the others."
Lin Wanyi smiled, patted his shoulder, and walked away.
Hua Yun'an, on the other hand, walked in the other direction. He had originally come to find Zhou Wanwan, and now that he had a good idea, he decided to give it a try.
At this moment, Lin Wanyi left the Bureau of Order and drove to her home in Jiangxia Lane. She had made an appointment with Lin Leyou today to take him to see the trading market on the tenth basement floor of Endless Plaza.
Jiang Changdong and his family are currently in dire straits themselves, so they probably won't target Lin Leyou, but it's really hard to say!
Lin Leyou is currently learning to drive. The cars here don't look much different from those in the real world, except they're a bit more advanced.
It seems like it will be a few more years before such a nice car appears in the real world.
Jiang Xiali sat in the passenger seat and taught him how to drive. Fortunately, Lin Leyou had a good talent for it. After a few days of learning, he roughly understood how to drive and was able to drive steadily for a while after getting the hang of it.
