Upon hearing this, Xing Baohua knew that someone must have fabricated evidence.
Xing Baohua will only go with them after the lawyer arrives.
Xing Baohua gave Huang Xingyao some instructions regarding company matters.
The lawyers arrived quickly, and the protests were ineffective. They could only grant bail after investigating and questioning Xing Baohua.
The news of Xing Baohua being taken away was quickly captured by the media who were waiting downstairs at the company and reported on it.
The embassy issued a protest and demanded a meeting with Xing Baohua.
Rejected.
Local Chinese community organizations are closely monitoring the situation.
The Hong Kong Business Association expressed concern.
Everyone is taking action and discussing how to rescue them.
If Xing Baohua knew, he would definitely be moved.
The way the US handles things is a bit different from how we handle things here. The investigation process involves more than just questioning and comparing testimonies and evidence.
Instead, they first ask if you plead guilty. If you plead guilty, things become much easier. They gather your testimony and evidence, begin compiling the case procedures, and then submit it to the prosecuting unit.
Not guilty? Fine, then the investigation department will have to keep working hard to find evidence of your crime so you can defend yourself in court.
If someone refuses to plead guilty even when faced with overwhelming evidence in court, the trial will continue for three to five rounds, and a verdict will likely be reached. If the lawyer is good, the trial may drag on for even longer.
If you're lucky, you might get bailed out and live a carefree life for a while.
When faced with the testimony of the investigating agency, Xing Baohua was asked whether he admitted to it or not.
This guy naturally denied it, remained silent, and waited for time to be released on bail.
While examining the evidence, Xing Baohua also learned who in the company had paid several million to sell him out.
Bob Will, Huang Xingyao's deputy, is essentially the company's vice manager.
One of the recruits, of European descent and with years of experience on Wall Street, was also poached from this street.
It's estimated that this kid lost a lot in the stock market crash, and five million might be a fatal temptation for him.
Let's leave his business for now.
So, has this person truly not confirmed any wrongdoing while manipulating and shorting the index?
The testimony stated that Bob Will overheard Xing Baohua answering a phone call, and he also uttered a number, which happened to be 2680.
He didn't know if it was a coincidence, but Xing Baohua shorted the Dow Jones at its highest point, which was also at 2680.
As the saying goes, one lie requires ten more to cover it up.
However, the investigation team also prepared call records for Xing Baohua, one of which was a phone number circled in yellow.
Xing Baohua genuinely didn't know whose phone number it was; he had no recollection of it. The number was marked as originating from the stock exchange, and the caller's name was Jason.
The position is the person in charge of maintaining the trading system at the exchange.
After that, there was nothing more; it all depends on imagination and guesswork.
Why did this Jason call Xing Baohua?
Since we can't see Jason's investigation report right now, we can only speculate.
But it can spark the imagination.
One of the key factors contributing to the stock market crash was the lack of information flow and delays in electronic algorithmic trading, which caused panic throughout the market.
Xing Baohua works in electronics and sells computers? He must be very knowledgeable about programming.
If someone were to tamper with the computer...
If the initial decline was technical, but a sharp drop occurred due to information delays or other factors caused by algorithmic trading on computers.
Xing Baohua's theory that he maliciously shorted two fingers is still valid.
You don't know until you think about it, and it's really shocking.
This is too much to bear; I really can't take the blame! It would be too sinful to shoulder this responsibility.
Who made Xing Baohua so much money? And being a scapegoat seems to be the best option.
When faced with testimonies or similar questions, Xing Baohua remained silent. No matter how she was questioned, she simply kept quiet.
Xing Baohua thought that the person who designed this trap for him must also be a master of deduction.
I thought the other party would give false testimony and go through many steps to cover up a lie.
But what I didn't expect was that they were leveraging a major trend!
Once such speculations and accusations are released, Xing Baohua will be drowned in spittle if he goes out on Wall Street.
Xing Baohua had no idea who Jason was.
He wouldn't have known about this key figure if the Bureau of Investigation hadn't shown him these testimonies.
When did he call me? Why do I have no recollection of it?
Does that matter?
It's already in the call log, unless you can prove that the call log is fake?
How can it be proven? After all, it's proof provided by the operator, so its credibility is very high.
With current technology, is it really impossible to prove whether or not it has passed?
This is the most passive and uncomfortable part.
Okay, it's no longer just contract fraud; it seems there are several other charges now.
Xing Baohua was released on bail by his lawyer before the 24-hour investigation period was over.
He handed over his passport, and the bail was astronomical—ten million.
If he really did it, Xing Baohua would have had many ways to escape if he wanted to save his life.
But to prove his innocence, he still needs to persevere.
After being released, Xing Baohua went straight back to his company. Many relevant departments also cared about his physical and mental health and sent people to visit him.
Xing Baohua expressed his gratitude to those who showed concern.
He then called in his lawyer and told them the testimonies he had seen during the investigation.
It seems complicated, but some things require evidence.
A phone number?
"It's still not convincing," the lawyer said. "If you want any instructions, maybe just a phone call, then how do you get in touch with Jason?"
