Li Xiaoliang repeatedly defended himself verbally, but in fact he had been a little skeptical about this deal for a long time. He had worked with Gao Huai for so many years and knew his working style very well. This way of operation was unprecedented.
Never before had any of his orders been so unusual. Besides forbidding anyone to ask about the shipping details, he had just finished shipping the goods when he suddenly closed down his foreign trade company, which he had run for ten years, and quietly fled abroad. This series of unusual behavior clearly had some hidden secret, one that Li Xiaoliang simply didn't know about.
Now that Simingda had come running over in anger to accuse him, Li Xiaoliang was truly devastated. Although he had been a participant in the deal, he had no idea it was a premeditated fraud. Gao Huai had meticulously planned this for so long, and actually tried to defraud Simingda of his goods by using a "cheat" scheme? This operation was completely beyond Li Xiaoliang's expectations.
Although he had doubts in his heart, out of selfishness, he did not want to betray Gao Huai without confessing the crime before the matter was investigated thoroughly. That would be against his conscience and he would be unable to face his family.
"Mr. Si, I told you that Wen Xun is responsible for following up on the back-end affairs. He knows the status of this batch of goods better than I do. I really don't know why he closed the company, nor do I know where he went. You can only find out where the payment went if you find him."
Li Xiaoliang's seemingly innocent words could not convince Si Mingda. In Simingda's view, Li Xiaoliang was just looking for excuses to exonerate himself. He was a participant in this transaction from beginning to end. How could he be completely unaware of it?
Since he couldn't find Wen Xun, he had no choice but to threaten the "culprit" Li Xiaoliang: "It was you who contacted me to check on the factory. How could you be completely unaware of it? Young man, I advise you not to think that you can get away with it by just walking away. Your failure to pay the balance is a crime. As long as I call the police, you can expect to go to jail. Even if I can't find you, the police will always find a way to catch you. The law is not a joke. I advise you to surrender as soon as possible. This may reduce your crime."
Li Xiaoliang admitted that he went to the factory to inspect the goods, but he was indeed unaware of Gao Huai's long-planned fraud scheme.
He was very dissatisfied with Si Mingda's threats and felt very wronged: "Boss Si, you really wronged me. I have said many times that it was the boss who asked me to go to the factory. Even if you call the police to arrest me, I will still tell the police the same thing. If you want to sue me, go ahead. It's up to you."
After saying that, he hung up the phone angrily. Facing Simingda's vicious threats again and again, he had to believe that Gao Huai had indeed deceived everyone. Except for Simingda and Wang Mudan, even his most trusted cousin and niece were innocently implicated.
Why Gao Huai suddenly went abroad is even more confusing. Li Xiaoliang is not familiar with the process of international trade scams. Faced with Gao Huai's sudden disappearance, he was a little panicked, worried that Gao Huai's scam would implicate himself. After all, he participated in the factory visit and goods inspection. If he said that he was not clear about Gao Huai's motives, who would believe it?
Gao Huai left, and Li Xiaoliang was at a loss as to how to deal with the mess he left behind.
Since he was indeed unaware of the scam, despite Si Mingda's threats, he still held back and did not reveal Gao Huai's name.
Judging from Gao Huai's series of abnormal behaviors, he definitely knows Si Mingda. If he tells Gao Huai's name, Si Mingda may keep investigating him. It is better to have less trouble than more. If they want to call the police, then let them call. Only by waiting for the police to show up can the truth of these mysteries be uncovered.
Simingda suspected that the mysterious "Wen Xun" was the mastermind behind the incident, but where could he find him? The mastermind could not be found, and Li Xiaoliang repeatedly denied any knowledge of the matter. Judging from his behavior, he was probably not lying.
Thinking back on the causes and consequences of this scam, Simingda was angry and resentful. He had always been conceited and felt that he was good at calculating. No matter who he dealt with, he rarely suffered losses. Usually, he was the only one who calculated others, and no one ever dared to calculate him.
Now, not only has he miscalculated, but he has fallen into a trap designed by others time and time again. There is always someone stronger than you. He can't figure out who is directing this premeditated huge fraud?
Just like the last time he was reported for tax evasion, he repeatedly filtered, screened, and eliminated the possible "suspects" in his mind, feeling that those people had no motive and should not be able to frame him.
He was thinking so much that his head was splitting with pain and swelling. Suddenly, a name that had been silent in his life for a long time but was very familiar to him jumped into his mind again. The three words "Luo Yingtao" made him come back to his senses. Could it be related to her again?
He simply couldn't believe his own thoughts. Based on his understanding of her, he always felt that she wouldn't be so ruthless. Since they met again, he helped her find so many clients and gave her pocket money from time to time. She should have no reason to want him to death, right?
If the last report of tax evasion was related to her, it would make sense, after all, she was the one who was responsible for the customs accounts. But this time the goods were shipped abroad. How could she be so capable as to collude with foreigners to defraud goods worth 5 million?
Thinking of this woman, Si Mingda felt heartbroken and shuddered. Wang Mudan was right in scolding her. Luo Yingtao was a damn plague god, a terrible disaster star. No man who had anything to do with her had a good ending, including her husband Jiang Nanmu, that hardworking and honest good man. In addition to carrying the heavy burden of her family, he also had to endure the humiliation of being cuckolded by her. He was also miserable.
Regardless of whether the last tax evasion incident was related to her, it happened after he reunited with her. He had just been released from prison and was defrauded of payment for goods. It would be hard to believe if he said it had nothing to do with her. Otherwise, why would the timing be so coincidental?
