This could not help but shock Peter.
Everything in the video looked perfectly rehearsed; it was flawless.
Su Wu felt ashamed upon hearing this.
This is just an occupational hazard from my past life; I'm just holding back.
Who would have thought that this thing would actually come in handy?
By this point, he had begun to appreciate the flavor.
"Brother Ma, why are you in such a hurry? Is someone trying to get me?"
"Nonsense, with a case this big, it's better to have multiple scapegoats. 8 billion, who can afford to pay that back?"
"You can't wrongly accuse me, can you?"
"It's fortunate that you have this, otherwise you would have been implicated and fined at least a billion dollars."
Peter Ma spoke with lingering fear, genuinely feeling fortunate for Su Wu.
Su Wu frowned deeply, feeling as if there were no good people left in the world.
He asked in a deep voice, "What's the situation now?"
"The bank recovered 1 billion yuan in kickbacks, the fundraising entities recovered 500 million yuan, and Hu Mingfu and Li Wende only recovered a few hundred million yuan. The shortfall is too huge..."
Peter, who had a slightly bitter taste, took a sip of water and began to slowly recount what he knew.
It must be said that the higher-ups are very efficient; they've cut through the mess quickly.
Even so, the real big prize is still nowhere to be found.
Peter paused for a moment before continuing, "Hu Mingfu and Li Wende have basically made their decision. They will definitely be going to jail for a few years. The Hu and Li families will each contribute 500 million, and that will settle their matter."
In other words, about 2.5 billion has been recovered so far, and 5.5 billion is still short.
Su Wu felt a sense of relief upon hearing this. If he hadn't had some evidence, he probably would have been forced to reveal a sum of around 1 billion.
Let's not talk about whether this is unfair or not; everyone who witnessed it has a share in the consequences.
Su Wu silently refilled Peter's tea, patiently waiting for him to continue.
Peter Ma said in a deep voice, "Your land is definitely gone. As for Su Jianren, it's basically settled. He'll be going to jail for 5 years. There's nothing we can do about it."
"Damn, he's finally got a government job. It wasn't easy," Su Wu couldn't help but exclaim.
This really is a twist of fate.
In his previous life, he was pushed out by his family to take the blame and spent five years in a prison.
Now that he's been reborn, it's his good older brother who has to go in for proper reformation.
In this case, it remains to be seen whether Su Guiquan will abandon his eldest son and immigrate again.
With his thoughts in a somewhat complicated state, Su Wu was lost in thought for a moment.
Peter thought he couldn't accept this fact, so he patted him on the shoulder.
"He deserved it, after all, he didn't have any good intentions, so don't overthink it."
"Of course, I'm still very happy. They finally got their comeuppance." Su Wu came back to his senses and smiled.
Peter patted him with a smile, then his expression turned somewhat strange.
Seeing this, Su Wu couldn't help but ask, "Is there anything else?"
Peter nodded. "I've received word that there are voices from above hoping you'll take over this mess."
"Why should I?" Su Wu asked almost aloud.
"Because you're a shareholder, this is a matter of course."
"Didn't they file for bankruptcy?"
"Then you have to be able to break it first."
"Awesome, that's truly insightful."
Upon hearing this, Su Wu was completely convinced.
If someone really wants to play like that, he really won't have a problem with it.
However, he would never be a sucker; he'd rather just let it rot.
To put it bluntly, he felt guilty about the funds raised from the public and planned to repay them through some means.
But what does the bank loan have to do with him? He absolutely will not take on that responsibility. Let them collect their collateral instead.
Looking at Peter Ma, his expression was strange. "Brother Ma, isn't this going too far? Aren't we pushing someone to their death?"
“It’s not as bad as you think. It’s just some people’s opinion. Now you can basically distance yourself from it. Even if they let you take the job, they’ll still have to give you an explanation,” Peter reassured him.
Upon hearing this, Su Wu could only nod helplessly.
After all, he made a whopping $3 billion from this deal; if all else fails, he can consider it a way of giving back to society.
But he would never take on a bank loan, no matter what; that would be pure bullying.
A few days later, Su Wu answered the message.
Having prepared in advance, he submitted all his evidence.
Those watching were completely bewildered and dumbfounded.
If you say you're not acting, who would believe you?
You knew this day would come, didn't you?
Su Wu is no longer someone who can be easily manipulated.
In particular, the video mentioned Huachao Computer's orders.
In the eyes of countless people, that's no different from doing charity work.
If this video gets out, won't they have any shame?
So, how did Su Wu get in, and how did he get out?
They failed to capture this great victim, but the whole incident must not be allowed to escalate further; a conclusion must be reached before it causes any further impact.
So, within a few days, Su Wu received news that Su Jianren had been sentenced, to five years in prison, not a day less.
As for Hu Mingfu and Li Wende, it was also 5 years, and the three of them became brothers in misfortune.
The other minor characters need not be mentioned, but the biggest culprit, Liu Gengju, was issued an international warrant for arrest.
At this point, the case is closed; the next step is to figure out how to handle the aftermath.
Without any new major wrongdoers to fill the void, only 2.5 billion was recovered.
To be honest, this has already stripped countless people bare, leaving them with nothing but their underwear.
But this amount is not even enough to repay the bank loan, let alone raise funds.
