Chapter 20 The Silly Beauty: The Ultimate Level of Pretending to be a Fool to Outsmart Others
Cen Yan felt as if she had been struck by lightning, and her tears flowed even more fiercely as she looked sharply at Shan Jianshe.
"Dad! Captain Li is lying, isn't he? You and Aunt Hu didn't transfer assets behind my back, and you didn't plan to abandon me and smuggle me into Hong Kong, did you?"
Captain Li got annoyed. "Men! Drag Cen Yan out of here. Don't let her crying and whining interfere with my duties!"
"Shan Jianshe, I'm asking you one last time, where are the Cen family's assets! Don't try to stall for time, we've already checked the docks, the ship you used to transfer assets isn't there at all, where did you hide it!"
Dan Jianshe was completely dumbfounded when he heard this. It wasn't like this at all. This was completely different from what he had expected!
In his plan, he would marry Cen Yan to Hu Zhiwei, and have Hu Zhiwei take this wretched girl back to the countryside to keep her under control.
Then he smuggled his whole family to Hong Kong, using the Cen family's assets as start-up capital, to begin a new chapter for the "Shan" family.
If he builds his own property, he will become a renowned top-tier wealthy family in Hong Kong. This is the life he deserves!
But now, the Cen family's assets that he painstakingly transferred have vanished without a trace?
"Where is it! Where is the thing I've painstakingly acquired over so many years! Hulier, tell me!"
Dan Jianshe sat up abruptly. Hu Lier was the prime suspect. The boats and workers were all found by Hu Lier!
Hu Li'er quickly explained, "Cough cough... Husband, I cough... I don't know! It wasn't me! It was Cen Yan..."
"Does Cen Yan really have such great abilities that she can make so many members of the Hu family obey her orders and help her transfer assets?"
“Even now, Cen Yan is still incredibly stupid, thinking I wouldn’t do anything to hurt her. How could such an idiot cause trouble under my nose? But you, Hu Li’er, have betrayed me from the inside out by getting involved with Hu Zhiwei!”
Dan Jianshe, seemingly insane, gripped Hu Lier's neck even tighter, yelling, "If you don't tell me where the thing is, I'll kill you today!"
Hu Li'er's eyes rolled back from being pinched, and she was completely unable to speak.
Seeing this, Captain Li frowned, raised his electric baton and struck Shan Jianshe on the neck. Shan Jianshe's hand loosened, and he passed out!
"Take them back for questioning! I refuse to believe that after the enforcement team's punishment, Shan Jianshe and Hu Lier will still be so stubborn!"
Captain Li was seething with hatred; he vowed not to give up until he got his hands on the Cen family's assets!
Thinking this, Captain Li put one hand in his pocket and felt the envelope inside. He decided to find the person who had informed him first.
Since that person knew that Shan Jianshe and Hu Lier were transferring assets and preparing to smuggle themselves out of the country, could he also know where the assets were going?
If we can use them to find the Cen family's assets...
As Captain Li was speaking, Cen Yan suddenly spread her hands to block his way, her voice timid, "Captain Li, my dad is a good father, can you please not torture him?"
"Holy crap! I've seen stupid people, but I've never seen anyone this stupid!"
Captain Li cursed and sneered, "Miss Cen, if you can provide clues about the whereabouts of the Cen family's assets, we certainly won't use torture! Otherwise, our enforcement team will have no choice but to resort to extreme measures."
Cen Yan listlessly withdrew her hand, lowered her eyes, and made way for her. "So you know how to use torture, huh?"
Torture is great! She can't wait to see Shan Jianshe suffer all kinds of torture!
Take them all!
Seeing that Cen Yan no longer obstructed the law enforcement team's investigation, Captain Li gave an order and sent someone to capture Cen Yan.
The capitalist's daughter was the first to be targeted for purge and demotion. Even if Cen Yan was a foolish beauty, after being tortured, some useful information could still be pried out of her mouth.
In the blink of an eye, Aunt Wu, the comrades from Yongle Lane, and three leaders immediately stood in front of Cen Yan to protect her.
“Cen Yan is an innocent young girl who did not participate in the transfer of assets. Arresting her is useless. Instead of wasting your energy on bullying a female comrade, you should focus your efforts on Shan Jianshe, Hu Lier, and this Hu Zhiwei!”
"That's right! Yan is the victim. Is the law enforcement team going to use excessive force?" Aunt Wu stood tall and proud, not afraid of Captain Li at all.
Captain Li was furious, but then someone whispered a few words in his ear, and he instinctively cursed out, "What's with that scoundrel visiting the enforcement team? Miss Cen, you're lucky this time! But I'll still personally come to you another day to dismiss your team!"
The most urgent task is to find the Cen family assets that Shan Jianshe has hidden, rather than wasting time on a foolish beauty.
