Chapter 82 Donating Assets to Save Life
The trending search about Xu Yumin colluding with a black-hearted hospital to deceive the sponsored female students into having their eggs retrieved gradually became popular, and when it exploded on the Internet, the police who saw this in the live broadcast room wanted to arrest the people, but were held down by their colleagues.
"There's still Zheng Yong who hasn't been dealt with. With Miss Jiang's abilities, it won't be long before he's apprehended. Let's wait for a while."
The police thought it made sense. Besides, the resort was now tightly blocked, so they could just catch Xu Yumin in a jar. They didn't have to worry about Xu Yumin escaping. Once Zheng Yong's crime was revealed and they had evidence, they could arrest both of them together.
On this side of the show, they saw what they had done being completely exposed.
With all the solid evidence, even if she had brainwashed the audience all the time, no one would stand on her side and speak for her when faced with a real crime.
Xu Yumin's face turned pale. Knowing that she had to keep pressing the sewing machine, she collapsed on the ground powerlessly, muttering to herself as she thought of her future life in prison which would be extremely regular.
"I just want their menstrual blood to keep me young. I'm not the one who performs the surgery on them. Even if I'm not given the blood, they still want to have it. I just want the blood to be more valuable. How can that be a crime?"
This is too shameless to say, but perhaps this is really what Xu Yumin really thinks.
Jiang Ning stood in front of her, looking down at Xu Yumin. Her slender and fragile body made Xu Yumin's heart tremble.
She saw the girl looking at an object that was not allowed to be seen in public, and the cold light in her clear eyes fell on her.
"If it wasn't illegal, why did you dare to be a rat in the underground sewer from beginning to end, using deception to obtain menstrual blood? Besides, Queen Xu, you weren't so ignorant when you were bargaining with the black-hearted hospital to pay for the eggs you sold."
The title of "Xu the Movie Queen" was full of irony. In Xu Yumin's confused mind, she seemed to recall the moment when she had just won her first trophy and expressed her confidence in standing at the top of the entertainment industry and becoming an international movie queen.
Xu Yumin couldn't remember when the original goal changed. Her mind was now occupied by the images of those girls glaring at her and questioning her, and her sitting there in prison clothes, sewing on a sewing machine, as if she had been shocked and had gone crazy.
"In her current state, is she trying to pretend to be a mental patient and escape?" Jiang Qing guessed.
Jiang Ning: "She just can't accept going to jail. She's so cold and vicious that even pretending to be mentally ill won't get her to the point. She can't escape."
[Not to mention, our country's police are incredibly capable. Using chat logs and data, they've tracked down the address of the shady hospital and the key individuals involved. They're currently in the process of arresting them, and Xu Yumin will be there soon.]
This thought made Xu Yumin, who had lowered her head, slump her shoulders even more.
After witnessing that he was the only one left out of the four new guests, Zheng Yong clenched his sweaty palms, realizing that the official was probably watching the live broadcast room. He hesitated again and again, but decided to prove his law-abiding and patriotic nature in order to avoid being killed by four people.
He said to Xu Yumin with a sad face.
"Teacher Xu, you are confused. It's just a face. No matter how much you try, it will still look the same. Why bother to harm those young girls for this? Besides, birth, aging, sickness and death are all natural laws. How can people fight against time?"
Jiang Ning looked over and asked: What's wrong with you?
Zheng Yong's legs couldn't help but tremble when she looked at him. He pinched himself with his fingers and finally decided to show his patriotism before this person made a move, so that the higher-ups would give him a chance to live.
"Well, I, Zheng Yong, don't have a hobby of preserving my appearance. My longest-lasting hobby is definitely paying taxes on time. Every year, the tax I pay is among the highest in Hai City. This is what our Zheng family is most proud of."
"As citizens of Flower Country and major taxpayers, it's our responsibility not to evade taxes. Helping the nation develop is also one of our responsibilities."
Seeing Zheng Yong gradually becoming complacent and talking freely, Jiang Ning opened the "Eating Melon" system with a look of disbelief, and then gave Zheng Yong a look of contempt.
No wonder they only claim there was no tax evasion. They're exploiting a loophole in their explanation. Zheng didn't evade taxes, but they used every possible means to avoid them. The taxes they paid seemed high, but they were less than one percent of what they should have paid.
Is paying taxes Zheng Yong's longest-lasting hobby? Isn't his longest-lasting hobby money laundering or reselling Chinese antiques abroad?
As everyone's words reached his ears, Zheng Yong, who had become the center of attention, cursed in his heart.
But he had to act natural and continued speaking.
"I used to work too hard, and my health has deteriorated considerably this year. I'm ready to retire early and enjoy my old age."
As he said this, he pretended to sigh.
"As for Zheng's, I think money is enough. I don't covet a life of luxury. Besides, I, Zheng Yong, have risen from humble beginnings to the position of CEO of Zheng's, and it's inextricably linked to the government's support. So, after I retire, I will leave a pension and donate all my assets, along with Zheng's, to the country!"
No matter what Zheng Yong thought in his heart, the fact that he actually said that in everyone's opinion, he would donate almost all of his assets to the country shocked the audience in the live broadcast room. The audience who were scolding Xu Yumin couldn't help but stop and post barrages to express their admiration for Zheng Yong.
[Zheng's annual net profit is not low. If Zheng Yong really donates the company to the country, he will definitely be the most conscientious entrepreneur in my heart.]
[I don’t know if it’s because I’ve seen too many twists today, but I always feel like what Zheng Yong said isn’t true. What’s going on?]
[Add one to the above post. I just heard Xu Yumin beating around the bush and then in the blink of an eye, Xu Yumin's reputation collapsed. Now Zheng Yong is saying that he is a major taxpayer and wants to donate his assets to the country. Why does it sound so wrong?]
[You're overthinking it. Zheng Yong even dared to say in front of the camera that he would donate the Zheng Group. If he doesn't donate, can this matter be moved on?]
The guests thought so too, but they also thought that Zheng Yong wanted to use these assets to keep himself from going to jail.
But will this succeed?
If you want to show your patriotism to the country, then obey the law and don't do things you shouldn't do. You've already done something that's covered by the criminal law to make money, and you're still thinking you can use money to curry favor with the country and not hold it accountable? I'm afraid you're overthinking it.
[Furthermore, that so-called pension accounted for 80% of Zheng Yong's assets. As for Zheng's, the remaining funds were used by Zheng Yong to pay the bosses he had helped to place orders for, erasing all traces of their transactions over the years. Now Zheng's is just a mostly empty shell company.]
This is stingy. He wants to ask the country to let him go, but he is so reluctant to spend money. He really doesn't want to live a life of luxury.
Jiang Ning's last words were full of irony and ridicule. Zheng Yong heard them and decided in his heart that as long as he could get out of the show, he would take out half of his "pension" money and add at least one-third to the company.
That's a lot of money. It's more than one million more than the taxes he avoided. The higher-ups should be satisfied, right?
Country: Do you think I’m so short of money that I have to shelter criminals?
