Chapter 361 Zhou Jianye was arrested
"What does more than that mean?!" Zhao Xiaojing was shocked.
"More than 200,000!" Zhou Chuyan shouted excitedly. It took her a long time to calm down. She explained the whole thing in a crying voice.
It turns out that Zhou Jianye’s arrest this time was related to his divorce.
In this divorce, Lao Ren's apprentice and Zhou Jianye coordinated and decided to give Dong Mei 350,000 yuan of property. Although Zhou Jianye was reluctant at the time, he still transferred the money to Dong Mei's card on time a few days later.
The 350,000 yuan was the division of the property that could be found under Zhou Jianye's name at the time. 250,000 yuan was the renovation fee that Zhou Jianye had paid to Zheng Zihui before. He had originally planned to recover it through the court, but Zhou Jianye refused on the grounds that it was embarrassing. Later, he paid it all to Dong Mei in one lump sum, and the divorce was settled.
Originally, it was thought that Zhou Jianye had found a way to collect this money on his own, but when the truth was revealed, it was discovered that Zhou Jianye had obtained all the money from Zheng Zihui.
But the reason Zhou Jianye asked Zheng Zihui for the money was not because he had no money, but because he had money. His money was all in the hands of his parents and sister. But he didn't want Zheng Zihui to know this, and he didn't want Zheng Zihui to see that he could take out so much money at once.
When Zheng Zihui heard that Zhou Jianye needed a divorce, she raised 350,000 yuan for Zhou Jianye. Zhou Jianye took Zheng Zihui's money, pretended to be pitiful, and wanted to show off in front of Zheng Zihui, promising to get the money back to her immediately.
What Zhou Jianye meant by making money was very simple, which was to take advantage of his position and collect some commissions privately.
But the New Year had just passed and there were no new projects, so Zhou Jianye could only focus on the projects that had already been negotiated.
One of them was a project that had just been negotiated before the New Year and for which Zhou Jianye had already received 50,000 yuan privately. It was a sure thing, but Zhou Jianye found the project owner and asked for another 50,000 yuan.
The small boss was just a private owner, not a big company. He had already paid once, so of course he was unwilling to pay again. However, Zhou Jianye was very assertive and said that the contract had not been signed yet, so if it didn't work out, he would go find someone else, and he couldn't even think of getting the 50,000 yuan back.
In fact, the project is not that big. 50,000 is already a bit high, and 100,000 is a sheer exorbitant price for a small boss.
The young boss was already on the verge of bankruptcy, and this time, using his connections to find Zhou Jianye was his last gamble. He didn't expect Zhou Jianye to go back on his word, and he immediately felt resentful.
On the surface, the young boss agreed with Zhou Jianye on the time, place, and card number for the transfer, but he secretly reported the matter directly to the authorities. Zhou Jianye had just withdrawn the money as agreed, but was arrested red-handed shortly afterwards.
Zhou Jianye was at the ATM at the time, and the money he had just withdrawn was not even warm to the touch.
The card he took was not in his own name, but that of Zhou Jianye's sister.
The people in the agency were not there to help, so they followed the clues and checked the transactions of the amount on the card. They found that in addition to this money, there was a one-time transfer of 100,000 yuan before the New Year, which was also deposited into the card in cash by directly entering the card number. Together with this transfer, the total amount was 200,000 yuan.
This 100,000 should be the 100,000 that Wang Jiandang mentioned. Zhao Xiaojing was frightened when she heard it and calculated it silently in her mind.
"What do you mean it's more than 200,000? Is there other money? Wasn't there only 200,000 yuan found on the card?" Zhao Xiaojing asked.
"There is only 200,000 yuan on my aunt's card, but there is more on my grandmother's card." Zhou Chuyan said hoarsely.
"Your grandmother's?"
"The police also went to my grandmother's house. He knew what the money was, but my grandmother didn't. When the police asked, she told them everything. She said that my father kept all his earnings in family members' cards to protect my mother and that woman. My grandfather, grandmother, and aunt all helped him save money. My grandmother alone had over 500,000 yuan..."
Zhao Xiaojing was stunned.
"But the money doesn't belong to them anymore. Although the investigation hasn't been completed, the people who came to investigate said that their accounts have been frozen. The money will be confiscated after the investigation is complete. Not only will my father go to jail, he will also have to pay a fine.
"But these things happened right after the divorce, and my mom has all the evidence. The mediation agreement and investigation order were also issued by the court, which proves that the money she received was what she deserved and was part of my dad's normal salary and savings, so we're fine." Zhou Chuyan said weakly.
Zhao Xiaojing took a while to digest it, feeling both grateful for the system's foresight and frightened.
These things never happened in the previous life. Dong Mei was kept in the dark and did not divorce. There was no such thing as Zhou Jianye being reported or exposed.
So, until the very end, Zhou Jianye and his family had a ton of money? So, their constant complaints about poverty to Dong Mei, asking her to buy this and subsidize that, were all pure calculations?
Zhao Xiaojing took a deep breath and felt a little suffocated.
"Third Aunt will be furious if she knows all this, right?"
"My mother was so angry she couldn't speak and her face turned pale. After the police left, she suddenly became unable to move half of her body. I hurriedly called an ambulance, but she suddenly recovered right after I finished the call."
A universal heart booster from the system! Zhao Xiaojing looked up suddenly, a mixture of emotions welling up inside her.
"Is she okay now?"
"It's okay, I was just hit hard and I'm in a bad mood. How could my dad be such a person? He is so careful with his own wife and children, and things may not be going well for those outside..." Zhou Chuyan choked up as she spoke.
"That's selfishness. The money he put with his family was also spread out. I'm afraid his family members can't be fully trusted and don't dare to put all their eggs in one basket.
"Sister Yanyan, what's Third Aunt doing now? I want to give her a call." Zhao Xiaojing wasn't too surprised, but she had a deeper understanding of Zhou Jianye's selfish side.
"Wait a couple of days until she's in a better mood before calling her. She's having lunch now and has to go to work in the afternoon." Zhou Chuyan's tone became even more gloomy after hearing what Zhao Xiaojing said.
"Sister Yanyan, we all know how Third Aunt and Uncle get along in private. Divorce is a relief for Third Aunt. I know that you are sad about the series of things that happened, but for so many years, he hid so much money from you. What kind of life has Third Aunt lived? It's time for you to see him for who he is." Zhao Xiaojing advised patiently.
"I know. On the day the court delivered the indictment, I kept asking him who that woman was. I argued with him, called him a worthless person, said a lot of nasty things, and swore to sever all ties with him. I know he's not a good person and he's wronged my mother, but I still can't help but wonder why he is so cruel..."
Zhao Xiaojing sighed softly. Zhou Chuyan understood the truth, but she couldn't get over it. She could only wait for time to heal her.
