Chapter 153 The Dust Settles
Ji Xingzhi told Shi Jinnian every word of He Feng's testimony, and He Feng was secretly detained. In order to prevent Xiao Ce from noticing, everyone kept silent. Shi Jinnian also sent people to secretly monitor Xiao Ce to prevent him from escaping for fear of punishment.
Shi Yanci also acted quickly, and everything had a result in just two days. On the day when all the evidence was collected, Shi Yanci asked Shi Jinnian to lead the Haifeng Commando to capture Xiao Ce.
Xiao family.
The servant came crawling in to report, "Sir! Sir! It's bad! The Haifeng Commando has surrounded the entire manor!"
"What?!"
Xiao Ce was a middle-aged man in his fifties, with a kind face and sharp eyes. He looked down upon people with a condescending air. Upon hearing the news, a flash of panic crossed his eyes.
He stood up hurriedly, turned around and ran towards the study. There was a secret passage in the study, leading directly to the back door of the manor, where an airplane was parked. There was a high probability that what he had done would be exposed, so he had to leave as soon as possible.
Anyway, he had transferred the money abroad early on, and with those assets, he could still live a carefree life abroad.
But as soon as he ran to the back door, he was surrounded by Shi Jinnian and his men, who were waiting for him.
Looking at the army armed with real guns and live ammunition, Xiao Ce was shocked. The people in the Haifeng Commando were all capable of fighting ten enemies at once. They were all sharpshooters. No matter how powerful they were, they would never be able to escape from them.
Xiao Ce clenched his fist unconsciously, pretending to be calm and asked, "Jinnian, what are you doing?"
Shi Jinnian, dressed in a sharp military uniform and full of vigor, sneered, "Uncle Xiao, it's time to act dumb, right?"
Xiao Ce bluffed: "I have been in this position for twenty years. Even if I have no achievements, I have worked hard. How can I allow a junior like you to slander me?"
Shi Jinnian spoke slowly, "You are corrupt, you used your position to sell official positions, you planted spies in the Ji family, you kidnapped my sister, you coveted the presidency, and you attempted to rebel!"
"Where is the evidence?! You are falsely accusing me!" Xiao Ce shouted with his neck stiff.
In fact, he was extremely scared. If what he did was exposed, he would definitely be sentenced to death.
"I wouldn't dare to break into someone's house without evidence. Do you think everyone is breaking the law like you?" Shi Jinnian took out his evidence,
"Your overseas accounts have been seized. We dug out twenty boxes of gold from the basement of your hidden villa halfway up the mountain, a whole box of property deeds (a total of one hundred in total), countless jewelry, diamonds, luxury cars and watches..."
He recounted everything Xiao Ce had done, and the amount was even more shocking: "A conservative estimate is 100 billion."
Not only was there corruption, but there was also the act of buying an official position. Officials were also given gifts by their subordinates during festivals and holidays. National law expressly prohibits officials from accepting gifts.
"Nonsense! I don't have a villa halfway up the mountain! I don't even have any houses or cars under my name!" Xiao Ce was still making his last dying struggle.
"You don't have any in your name. They're all in the names of your relatives and family. Your wife wore this jewelry at a banquet, and there are also the emerald earrings your daughter wears, the villa you posted on your social media, and the sports car your son drove..."
Every time Shi Jinnian took out a photo, Xiao Ce's face became paler. By the end, he began to tremble all over and his face became even paler.
It's over. It's all over now.
He did it so covertly that he actually revealed his flaws to his own family.
He had told them to keep a low profile! Keep a low profile! But each one was more high-profile than the other, not only doing it at home but also showing it off openly to others.
Shi Jinnian looked at Xiao Ce, whose face was pale, and asked slowly, "The evidence is irrefutable. Do you have anything else to quibble about?"
Xiao Ce's bloodless lips trembled, and he couldn't utter a word of rebuttal.
You can't say that all those things are fake, right?
Such a clumsy lie can only fool fools.
"Take him away." Shi Jinnian gave an order, and immediately two soldiers came forward, one on the left and one on the right, pushing Xiao Ce into the car.
Facing the Haifeng Commando, he didn't even have a chance to resist.
Shi Jinnian ordered: "Search his house and confiscate his assets."
When Xiao Ce was investigated, all members of the Xiao family felt insecure. Some wanted to donate money and run away, but they were detained by the police as soon as they arrived at the airport.
Before Xiao Ce's assets were liquidated, anyone related to the Xiao family was restricted from leaving the country.
The matter soon came to an end. At the Ji family villa, everyone sat on the sofa in the hall and watched the latest reports from the official media.
Xiao Ce embezzled a huge amount of money and the evidence was conclusive, so he was sentenced to death. There were more than a dozen officials who were in cahoots with him, and they were convicted in order of the severity of their crimes. After this incident, most of the termites in Country C were eliminated.
He Feng was just a pawn, following orders. In addition, he was repentant and took the initiative to provide evidence, so he could be considered to have made meritorious service while serving his sentence. He was not sentenced to death, but he was sentenced to 30 years in prison.
Gu Qingyue slowly ate the cut fruits in the fruit bowl: "Uncle and cousin work very quickly."
Ji Yanzhi said calmly, "My uncle has long suspected Xiao Ce and has been collecting evidence for the past two years."
Gu Qingyue took a piece of paper and wiped her mouth: "Uncle is still foresighted."
Ji Xingzhi smiled and said, "Uncle has become the president. What kind of tricks has he not seen?"
Shi Yanci is the youngest president in the history of Country C, so his abilities and skills should not be underestimated.
Shi Xici looked at Gu Qingyue and naggingly said, "Yu'er, your family recognition banquet will be held the day after tomorrow. People from the military, business and political circles will be there. Don't be nervous, just treat it as an ordinary banquet."
"Yeah." Gu Qingyue nodded obediently.
"Who is responsible for security?" Shi Xici turned to ask Ji Yuan. It was because of their negligence that someone took advantage of the opportunity at Gu Qingyue's first birthday party.
Ji Yuan gave her a look, telling her not to worry: "Jinnian and Big Brother's confidants are responsible. We don't think the situation like last time will happen again."
"That's good." Shi Xici's worries were alleviated a little.
Shang Yuze glanced at Gu Qingyue and said to them, "Mom and Dad, don't worry. I will definitely follow Yueyue every step of the way."
In fact, Gu Qingyue is no longer the little baby who had no ability to protect herself. She doesn't need to be so cautious at all, but she didn't say much. After all, her family was scared by her disappearance that year. If this can make them feel at ease, then she will let them do it.
Shi Xici asked, "Yuze, when will your grandfather, Dean Jiang Yan, and Yueyue's friends arrive?"
