Gao Huai's unrealistic proposal gave Xiaomei hope of family reunion, and at the same time, it also allowed her to take off the black hat that was placed on their heads.
Of course, she knew very well that this transnational case involved a huge amount of money and was a sensitive matter. It was inconvenient for her to communicate directly with the police, so she could only discuss it with Li Xiaoliang, one of the important parties involved in the case.
"Xiaoliang, I've contacted Gao Huai and I have something I want to discuss with you."
"What's up?"
Due to Gao Huai's involvement, Li Xiaoliang's life has been hindered in every way. He has been very depressed recently and hopes every day that Gao Huai can return to China as soon as possible to settle the fraud case and let his life return to normal.
"The police asked me to persuade Gao Huai to return to China and surrender." Xiaomei looked at Li Xiaoliang tentatively and said.
"Isn't this good? Returning to the country and turning himself in is the only way to reduce his guilt." Li Xiaoliang agreed hurriedly.
Xiaomei could feel Li Xiaoliang's dissatisfaction with Gao Huai. After all, he was implicated innocently, and anyone would feel bad about it. He had no obligation to take the blame for Gao Huai.
"Gao Huai also intends to return to China, but he's very worried that not only will the money from this order be confiscated, but he'll also have to go to jail. He put so much thought into planning this and doesn't want to end up with nothing, so he's still hesitating."
Li Xiaoliang was eager for Gao Huai to return to China and surrender as soon as possible. As for whether his money would be confiscated, he was no longer in the mood to think about it. Gao Huai had to finish the path he had chosen even if he cried, but he shouldn't cause others to suffer.
He said with a look of grievance on his face, "Sister Xiaomei, Brother Huai has nowhere to go. The police's wanted warrant is no joke. The only way to reduce his guilt is to return to China and surrender. Please persuade him to come back, so that we won't be implicated. I can't buy a house now, and I can't get married. Except for a little living expenses, all my monthly salary cards are frozen. I knew nothing about this case he planned. It's too unfair for me to be implicated."
"Xiao Liang, he also wants to come back to handle this case, but he proposed a compromise plan. Let me discuss it with you."
"What's the plan? Tell me."
Xiaomei looked at Li Xiaoliang expectantly and said, "The goods he purchased from Mingdan Company are worth 5.52 million yuan. He has already paid 500,000 yuan, and owes 5.02 million yuan. If Gao Huai returns to China and pays off the debt, and also pays Mingdan Company one year's interest according to the bank's standards, they will drop the charges and the police will not pursue legal action against him. What do you think?"
Li Xiaoliang found Xiaomei's ridiculous proposal inconceivable. "Sister Xiaomei, the law is no joke, and there's no room for leniency. Brother Huai broke the law and must accept legal sanctions. He can't do whatever he wants. Otherwise, where will the dignity of the law be? Isn't his idea too naive? Not only will the police disagree, but Simingda and Wang Mudan will definitely not accept it. They've been made to suffer by him, and how can Brother Huai gain their forgiveness with a simple offer to pay back the debt? It's simply ridiculous."
Li Xiaoliang's nonchalant attitude made Xiaomei very dissatisfied. She asked sternly, "Xiaoliang, do you want Brother Huai to go to jail? If he goes to jail, the money will be confiscated. For us, it will be a complete loss. He has been very kind to you over the years. Are you going to kick him when he's down?"
"Sister Xiaomei, I'm not trying to kick someone when they're down. I understand what you mean, but the law is the law, and we can't just change it as we please. What's more, Simingda and Wang Mudan hate Brother Huai to the core, so they might not agree to this plan."
"The reason I came to you is to discuss this with you. You are more familiar with Simingda and Wang Mudan. Please help me talk to them. If he issues a letter of understanding, it is possible to reduce Gao Huai's punishment. Then we can pay back the debt and pay a year's interest. For them, this plan is a sure win. They usually do business with others on a monthly basis. Others don't pay interest, so why not us paying interest?"
Xiaomei's proposal seemed very humane. Not only would she pay off Mingdan Company's debt, but she would also pay one year's interest. In this way, Mingdan Company could make a lot of money from this transaction.
But she hadn't anticipated how deeply Simingda hated Gao Huai. Li Xiaoliang knew his temper too well. He was now desperate to kill Gao Huai to appease his hatred. How could he easily forgive him? Or even not pursue his legal responsibility? It was simply wishful thinking.
Although he knew that Simingda would not accept this ridiculous proposal, Li Xiaoliang had to agree to be a lobbyist because of Xiaomei's pleading.
"Okay, I'll talk to Simingda about it. I can't guarantee whether he will agree or not."
"Xiaoliang, talk to him nicely. As long as Gao Huai can return home safely, the people associated with us can be released from residential surveillance, and you can resume your normal life, buy a house, get married and have children." Xiaomei took the opportunity to touch the soft spot in Li Xiaoliang's heart, hoping that he could come forward to persuade Simingda to forgive Gao Huai's behavior.
"Well, I also hope that he can return home safely."
"We are waiting for your good news together."
Around two in the afternoon, Li Xiaoliang assumed Si Mingda was in the office, so he opened his WeChat and politely asked, "Mr. Si, how are you doing lately?"
Si Mingda contacted Li Xiaoliang before he called the police last time. Since the police opened the case, they have not had any communication in the past few months.
He had always suspected that Li Xiaoliang was his accomplice and had long been full of hostility towards this young man. Recently, he had been very busy with the company's affairs and did not expect that Li Xiaoliang would take the initiative to find him.
"You guys have made me live a life worse than death, and you still have the nerve to ask me if I'm living a good life? How can I prove that I'm living a good life?" Si Mingda replied to Li Xiaoliang unhappily.
