"Knock, knock, knock... knock, knock, knock..." A series of rapid, heavy knocks rang out on the door. The assistant, shaking with both hands, opened it, only to see a group of stern-looking police officers standing at the entrance. The assistant's face instantly turned as pale as paper, his eyes hollow, and he retreated to the side in a daze, as if he had lost his soul.
Jiang Zhezhou noticed the unusual atmosphere and slowly raised his head, his voice filled with confusion and uneasiness: "Who is here? What happened?"
"Mr. Jiang Zhezhou, right?" One of the officers examined him sternly, then slowly produced his ID. "You're suspected of multiple corruption cases. We're subpoenaing you according to the law. Please come with us. Oh, and Jiang xx, Li xx, Zhang xx... all of you here are also suspected of numerous cases. So, please come with us."
Jiang Zhezhou and the other shareholders present felt as if struck by lightning, their entire bodies utterly drained of strength. They stood there, stunned, their faces ashen, their eyes filled with despair and helplessness. They allowed the officers to handcuff them, snapping their hands, and lead them away from the Jiang Group one by one. The moment they were led out, the fate of the Jiang Group came to an end.
At the same time, the Zhao family's head's face instantly turned grim upon seeing the sudden news breaking online, his heart filled with shock and fear. He was extremely anxious, and without the slightest hesitation, he immediately got up and rushed home from the Zhao Group as fast as he could.
However, fate seemed to be playing a cruel joke on him at this moment. Just as he arrived at the entrance of the Zhao Group, a group of serious-looking police officers were marching in. His steps stopped abruptly, and he stood there as if under a spell, stunned, his eyes filled with disbelief and despair.
Before he could react, the police quickly surrounded him and forcibly put him into a police car. On the way to the police station, his mind was in a tangle of thoughts. He racked his brain for ways to call for help or escape, trying to find a glimmer of hope. But no matter how he thought, it seemed impossible to change his impending fate. Everything seemed so powerless, so futile.
Finally, the police car arrived at the police station. He was escorted inside, and as he scanned the scene inside, a deep sense of despair welled up in him. He saw his wife, some shareholders of the Zhao Group, the Jiangs, and some of the Jiang family's shareholders. These people, all mentioned in the online news, were gathered there. Jiang Baizhi and Zhao Guangbai were nowhere to be seen. He knew the situation was irreversible; he and his family were facing imminent calamity.
"It's all your fault! This is all your daughter's fault!" The Zhao family patriarch's eyes were red as he stared at the Jiang family's parents, his face filled with anger and resentment. He could no longer suppress his emotions and was about to rush over and beat the Jiang family's parents mercilessly. However, as soon as he took a step, he was firmly pinned down by the police, unable to move. He struggled hard, but was unable to break free from the police's restraints. He could only glare at the Jiang family's parents with hatred, as if he wanted to eat them alive.
"What are you doing? This is a police station, no quarreling allowed!" the police officers shouted loudly, their voices full of majesty.
"Husband! He's gone, everything is gone!" When Mrs. Zhao saw her husband, the sadness in her heart surged like a tide. Her tears burst out and her voice was full of despair and pain.
"Wuwuwu... Wuwuwu..." Patriarch Zhao looked at his dusty wife, his heart pounding with grief. He could no longer control his emotions, and tears flowed uncontrollably. Zhao Chenxiang, huddled close to her mother, also burst into tears. Her delicate face was covered in tears, and her cries were filled with fear and helplessness.
At this moment, the Zhao family head was filled with regret. He regretted his greed, his ignorance, and his failure to stop before it was too late. However, no amount of regret could help; nothing could be undone. He could only wait for fate's judgment in this endless regret.

At this moment, a crisp and loud slapping sound suddenly rang out from Jiang Baizhi's apartment. Jiang Baizhi was stunned by the sudden slap. Her eyes widened, and she looked at Zhao Guangbai in shock and disbelief. She slowly raised her hand to cover her burning cheek, her eyes filled with confusion and grievance. She raised her head and questioned Zhao Guangbai in a trembling voice: "You... you dare to hit me? What gives you the right to hit me?"
"Why should I hit you?" Zhao Guangbai's face was full of anger and regret, and his eyes seemed to be spewing fire. "If it weren't for those bad ideas you came up with, how could my house be sealed off? How could the Zhao Group go bankrupt? This is all your fault! You are a disaster! If I had known this would happen, I should have listened to my parents and stayed away from you!" Zhao Guangbai became more and more excited as he spoke, and his voice was full of resentment and dissatisfaction towards Jiang Baizhi.
"Hahahaha..." Jiang Baizhi suddenly burst into laughter, her laughter filled with sarcasm and disdain. "You say I'm a disaster? Zhao Guangbai, Zhao Guangbai, you really are good at shirking responsibility! Why didn't you object when I proposed those ideas? Now that things have been exposed, you blame me. You really have the nerve!"
"If it weren't for you, how could I have ended up in this situation! It's all your fault!" Zhao Guangbai said gritting his teeth, his eyes full of anger.
