Chapter 121 The Mastermind
"It is illegal to privately search for other people's information. Do you know that I can sue you right now?" Wang Xiaoqiang no longer had the confidence to say this.
"Don't you know that you are now the focus of the police?" Huo Xilin said, "I retrieved this information from the police last night. Unfortunately, the money you owe is the loan I loaned to you in the name of my branch. In this way, I happen to be your creditor! I have seen your loan records. You have been overdue for several years, right?"
"You...what do you want?" A look of fear finally appeared on Wang Xiaoqiang's face.
"It is only natural to pay back debts, Mr. Wang. You were hiding from us before, but now that you have shown up, our company will sue you. By the way, I heard that you robbed a woman's wallet, which contained valuables and a lot of cash."
"What robbery? You...don't talk nonsense!" Wang Xiaoqiang retorted in panic.
Huo Xilin said calmly: "It's a coincidence. I found the surveillance video of the robbery."
After saying that, Huo Xilin took out his cell phone and played a video. It was a dark and windy night, and in an alley, a man with his head covered was robbing a lady. If it weren't for someone passing by, the man might have even developed malicious intentions and intended to drag the lady deep into the alley to commit a crime.
But when he saw someone coming this way, he hurriedly snatched the lady's wallet, pushed her to the ground and ran away.
"There is a jade bracelet in this lady's backpack, which is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, enough to get you sentenced."
"You...what evidence do you have to prove that the person in the video is me?" Wang Xiaoqiang decided to deny it until his death. It had been two or three years since this incident happened, and the key evidence was nowhere to be found. What's more, his face was completely covered, and a video alone could not prove that the person in the video was him.
Huo Xilin threw a stack of photos in front of him: "These are your transaction photos in the black market. Mr. Wang, take a look. Is the face in them clear enough?"
Wang Xiaoqiang picked up the photo, which showed his high-definition face and him holding the jade bracelet in his hand while trading with the black market boss.
"How come the photos were leaked on the black market?" Wang Xiaoqiang asked in horror.
The boss clearly told him that it was absolutely safe, so in order to sell the bracelet quickly and safely, he sold it for only 200,000 yuan.
"Mr. Wang, there are always people who are better than you. If you don't want others to know, then don't do it. Now that you have revealed yourself, your debt and robbery should be handed over to the police. Special Assistant Xu, call the police."
Xu Qingsui nodded: "Okay." Then he took out his cell phone.
Seeing this, Wang Xiaoqiang collapsed to the ground and began to beg for mercy on his knees: "Boss, I was wrong, please don't call the police. I just wanted my aunt to get more money to pay me back. I was wrong, please don't call the police!"
When the others saw their boss kneeling down, they were frightened. They were all gangsters in society and had committed crimes to some extent.
"Well, big boss, we are also under the instruction of Brother Wang. We will not make trouble anymore. Please let us go. We will never make trouble again."
Huo Xilin signaled Manager Huo to take the rest of the people out, leaving only Wang Xiaoqiang in the office.
Wang Xiaoqiang was even more frightened when he saw that his younger brothers had all run away and he was the only one left: "Boss, I'm going to go back and tell my aunt to stop making trouble. We will accept whatever compensation the company gives us and we won't make trouble anymore..."
Huo Xilin walked up to Wang Xiaoqiang and squatted down, looking down at him and said, "Who is behind you?"
"What?" Wang Xiaoqiang's eyes flashed with panic, and then he looked at Huo Xilin in pretended confusion: "Boss, I don't know what you are talking about. I just want to make more money. No one is telling me to do that."
"If you want money, why do you refuse to cooperate again and again when the company negotiates with you?"
"I...we are scared too. Who knows what you will do to us in private? Only when we are on the scene with so many people watching, accidents will not happen, right?"
"It seems that you are unwilling to cooperate." Huo Xilin stood up and asked Xu Qingsui: "Have you called the police?"
Xu Qingsui was stunned for a moment, thinking that Huo Xilin just wanted to scare Wang Xiaoqiang.
But now looking at his serious expression, he seems to be serious.
"I'll go right away." Xu Qingsui said, then took out his cell phone and called the police.
Wang Xiaoqiang kept begging for mercy, but when he saw that there was no way back, he changed his expression in an instant, stood up from the ground, and said to Huo Xilin viciously: "Okay, you want to do this to the extreme, okay, you wait, I won't let you go!"
Because there were people all around Huo Xilin's territory, Wang Xiaoqiang only dared to make verbal threats and did not dare to commit any actual acts of harm.
Soon the police arrived and took Wang Xiaoqiang away, and also took away the criminal evidence submitted by Huo Xilin.
When Wang Xiaoqiang was taken away, the vicious look he cast in their direction made Xu Qingsui feel a chill on his back.
There was a momentary stinging pain in her head and she rubbed her tight temples, as if she had seen a similar look deep in her memory.
But when she thought about it carefully, she couldn't remember anything.
"What's wrong?" Huo Xilin noticed her abnormality at the first moment and walked up to her and asked.
Xu Qingsui shook his head, the stinging pain had disappeared: "I'm fine."
She asked doubtfully, "Is Wang Xiaoqiang really being instructed by someone? Who is the person behind this?"
"He is just a scapegoat. The accident that occurred in this project is not as simple as imagined." Huo Xilin narrowed his eyes slightly. After many years, some people in the company have forgotten his thundering methods when he first took over the company, so that some termites appeared and dared to work with outsiders to design the company.
"Then what should we do next?" Xu Qingsui encountered such a situation for the first time and was a little overwhelmed.
If she were asked to complete the project, she would be able to do it with ease. However, when faced with the intrigues in the business world, she had no idea. She didn't even know who was behind the scenes. The enemy was in the dark while they were in the light. How could she fight?
"Mr. Huo, something bad has happened. The deceased's family members ran to the roof of our company's building and wanted to jump off the building!" Manager Huo ran in in a panic to report the situation.
Huo Xilin and Xu Qingsui stood by the window. At this time, countless people had gathered downstairs of the company, including reporters from various media holding cameras.
As soon as the old lady stood on the roof, the audience and media gathered to watch the show. It was obvious that someone had planned this in advance.
"Have you called the fire department?" Huo Xilin asked Manager Huo.
"We fought it, we fought it immediately." After Manager Huo finished speaking, an alarm was heard in the distance, and soon the firefighters were in place.
