"The change in Gao Huai is really incredible. When I heard that he was the real murderer, I was stunned. In our memory, he has always been a gentle and gentle boy. His family was well-off at that time, and he was very generous with money. He would buy whatever Luo Yingtao wanted and never had any complaints. Why did he become a sinister villain who would do anything for money after more than ten years of graduation? It seems that money is really a good thing to test human nature. A rich boy like him has actually fallen to the point of committing crimes for money. Time is passing, and human nature is changing. The Gao Huai of the past no longer exists." Wang Mudan said sadly. It has been more than two months since Gao Huai was arrested. She still can't believe that the mastermind behind two major cases to frame Mingdan Company is actually Gao Huai?
"When will the trial begin?" Zhao Haitang asked.
"This case involves a transnational dispute, and it's estimated to take several months. Gao Huai's money deposited abroad needs to be transferred back through transnational procedures, which is quite complicated. I wonder if Country G will agree to return it?" Si Mingda said worriedly, "This money is our family's lifeline. I borrowed several million to keep the company running. Even if they return the money to us, it won't make up for the losses of the past two years."
Thinking of the great changes he had suffered in the past two years, including being imprisoned for half a year, fined three million yuan, and being defrauded of five million yuan, Si Mingda is still a little dazed. He has been smooth sailing in Nanzhong City for more than ten years, but since he reunited with Luo Yingtao at his son's hundred-day party, he seemed to have stepped on a stone of bad luck. Disasters occurred one after another, almost pushing him to the brink of death. These disasters were all related to Luo Yingtao. Although she was not the direct pusher, she was the inducement for Gao Huai to commit crimes. Thinking of the experiences of the past two years, Si Mingda felt like he had experienced a nightmare. Whenever he recalled these experiences, he would still feel a lingering fear.
"Gao Huai is such a troublemaker! How many people have been implicated because of his selfishness? First, his ex-wife and children, then his cousin Li Xiaoliang, and even Luo Yingtao has been implicated. They're all under residential surveillance, deprived of their personal freedom. I wonder how they can endure that kind of life?"
No matter how other classmates scolded Luo Yingtao, Lan Dujuan always supported her. In her opinion, the culprit of the two cases was Gao Huai, and Luo Yingtao could not be blamed. Although she leaked the financial information of Mingdan Company, it was at most an unintentional mistake of not keeping her mouth shut. There was no reason for her to bear heavy mental pressure and legal punishment.
Wang Mudan curled her lips and said coldly, "No matter how serious Luo Yingtao's illness is, I definitely don't sympathize with her. She just deserves it. I'd rather sympathize with her husband. Jiang Nanmu is so unlucky to marry her. She is a disaster. From school days to now, no man who has dated her has had a good ending. Gao Huai is now in prison. On the surface, it's his own fault. In fact, if it weren't for Luo Yingtao's help, he wouldn't have ended up in such a sad situation. Jiang Nanmu is indeed a good person. He worked hard all his life, but was dragged down by Luo Yingtao to a point where his life is worse than death. It's hard for him."
Listening to his classmates scolding Luo Yingtao one after another, Simingda felt like a spice bottle had been overturned in his heart. He knew very well that no matter how others scolded Luo Yingtao and Gao Huai, he was actually the real culprit. It was because of his first love relationship with Luo Yingtao that a series of subsequent disasters were triggered. In this turmoil, he was the one who was truly unforgivable.
He admitted that he really liked Luo Yingtao before, otherwise he would not have risked his life to help her after they met again. In just one year, he transferred 170,000 yuan in pocket money to her.
What he never expected was that the 170,000 pocket money he gave to express his love for her would bring his marriage and company into the abyss. Luo Yingtao's ignorant and brainless behavior broke his heart. How deeply he loved her before, how much he hated her now.
"Well, now that things have come to this, all you can do is wait for the trial. As long as there's sufficient evidence, I believe the money should be recovered quickly, which will ease your company's cash flow. When the trial begins, we'll come back to cheer you on."
Zhao Haitang comforted.
"Okay, thank you! I'll let you know once I receive the court hearing notice."
Si Mingda and Wang Mudan were very happy about the arrival of several old classmates. In order to have a good time reminiscing with them, they did not go to the restaurant for lunch, but cooked a large table of sumptuous meals in the villa. This was the happiest day they had had since the disaster. With the encouragement of their classmates, they were full of confidence in winning the lawsuit and getting back the huge amount of money they were cheated of.
After Gao Huai was arrested and brought back to China, the police of the task force also rushed to collect evidence so that this case involving a huge amount of money could be transferred to the court for trial.
During the early investigation stage, the court had frozen all accounts under the names of Gao Huai's ex-wife Xiaomei and Li Xiaoliang, causing great trouble to their lives.
In order to escape the gossip of others, Xiaomei had to leave her hometown with her children and go to the provincial capital with the help of her parents.
She rented a house and placed her child in a private primary school. With the care of her relatives, she took care of the child while working odd jobs to support her family. Whenever she had time, she would take the child to visit Gao Huai. Although they had divorced, she did not want the children to misunderstand Gao Huai because she wanted to change the fact that Gao Huai was the child's father.
Due to the impact of the Gao Huai case, Li Xiaoliang was placed under residential surveillance and all his accounts were frozen, making him unable to buy a house or get married. What made him unbearable was that people in his hometown thought he was an accomplice of Gao Huai, and some even called him a fraudster behind his back. He did not dare to go out to work and could only stay at home to hide.
