Upon hearing that his boss said he was one of their own, Zeng Bojian finally relaxed a little.
He slowly turned around, and with some hesitation, took off the backpack that was slung over his shoulder. The heavy backpack seemed to carry the earnest expectations and important mission of everyone.
With a slight hissing sound, Zeng Bojian carefully unzipped the backpack.
His eyes were fixed on the items in the bag, afraid of missing any crucial items.
He reached inside and gently took out a laptop computer, which looked quite exquisite.
Zeng Bojian held the laptop in both hands, walked steadily to the coffee table, and then gently placed it on it.
Then, he began to skillfully operate the computer. His fingers flew across the keyboard, and various instructions and data flashed on the screen.
Soon, the footage from the monitoring backend was clearly displayed before everyone's eyes.
Yang Chengxu, who had been observing silently from the side, couldn't help but smile slightly when he saw that the villa inside and outside was covered with surveillance cameras.
Although the smile wasn't obvious, it conveyed his inner joy and confidence.
"Very good!" Yang Chengxu said softly, his voice filled with barely concealed excitement.
"I think most of the money Wan Guangliang embezzled is hidden in this villa number 8. Given his greedy nature, he certainly wouldn't let this wealth go to waste, and he would definitely come to check it every now and then."
Upon hearing Yang Chengxu's words, almost simultaneously, a subtle smile appeared on the faces of everyone present. They exchanged glances and nodded knowingly.
Because everyone clearly understood the deeper meaning behind Yang Chengxu's words—as long as they could wait for Wan Guangliang to step into Villa No. 8, they could prove without a doubt that the stolen money and valuables hidden inside were inextricably linked to him.
At that time, no matter how many mouths Wan Guangliang had, he would have no way to deny it. Thinking of this, everyone was eager to expose Wan Guangliang's crimes.
...
Three days later, although Wan Guangliang was unaware that he was being targeted, he was very careful in his actions and would never accept bribes from others in person.
In order to advance his career, he used valuable antiques, paintings, and money to bribe his superiors.
In a Hongqi sedan, Wan Guangliang sat in the back seat with his arm around a young woman, touching her all over, causing her to gasp repeatedly.
The driver in front kept his eyes fixed straight ahead, without glancing to the side.
Three minutes later, Wan Guangliang asked, "Xiaoman, is that Qi Baishi painting you were asked to collect still at your home?"
Liang Xiaoman straightened her skirt and said sweetly, "Brother Liang, I've already given that Qi Baishi painting to Xiao Qiang to keep! Do you need it?"
“It will be useful. I need to take it to Vice Governor Cao in a bit. It’s almost the end of the year, and it’s time to express my gratitude,” Wan Guangliang said.
After saying that, he took out his phone and called his brother-in-law.
The call connected quickly, and Xiao Qiang's voice came from the other end: "Hey, brother-in-law, is there something you need?"
Wan Guangliang asked, "Where did you put that Qi Baishi painting that Xiaoman gave you last time?"
"Brother-in-law, I put that Qi Baishi painting on the shelf inside Villa No. 8."
"Okay, I got it." After hanging up the phone, Wan Guangliang instructed the driver in front, "Go to Villa No. 8."
Upon receiving the order, the driver immediately steered the car into traffic.
Five minutes later, the Hongqi sedan came to a steady stop in front of Villa No. 8.
The car doors opened, and Wan Guangliang and Liang Xiaoman got out from either side.
Wan Guangliang glanced to his left and right, and after confirming that no one was paying attention to him, he took out his key from his bag and opened the villa door.
The moment Wan Guangliang stepped into the villa, everyone in the monitoring room lit up.
Yang Chengxu's lips curled up slightly as he whispered, "Damn, you're finally here. I've been waiting for you for days."
Zeng Bojian quickly adjusted several monitoring angles to ensure that the situation inside the house could be captured from all angles.
Wan Guangliang gently pushed open the door and walked into the room with light steps.
His gaze fell directly on the shelf displaying Qi Baishi's paintings; these antique paintings and calligraphy works were all collected by Wan Guangliang over the years.
Liang Xiaoman followed closely behind, her eyes filled with curiosity as she looked around.
When her gaze finally fell on the shelf full of antiques, she froze instantly, her eyes widening and her mouth slightly agape in disbelief.
After a long while, she came to her senses, turned to look at Wan Guangliang with a shocked expression, and asked in a slightly trembling voice, "Brother Liang, are these... are these all genuine works?"
Wan Guangliang's lips curled up slightly, revealing a smug smile, and he said confidently:
"Haha, Xiaoman, do you think anyone in this world would dare to try to fool me with fake stuff? If there really is such a fool, I'll teach him a lesson and skin him alive."
After saying that, he deliberately puffed out his chest, as if to show Liang Xiaoman his authority and status.
Just then, unnoticed by anyone, a tiny red dot suddenly flashed on the ceiling light, which was the pinhole camera that Zeng Bojian had installed.
However, Wan Guangliang and Liang Xiaoman, immersed in excitement and agitation, were completely unaware that everything happening in the room was being monitored.
Wan Guangliang walked happily to the shelf and picked up the calligraphy and painting he had long admired.
He moved gently and cautiously, and every item here was a priceless treasure.
Then, he carefully unfolded the painting and examined it closely. Every stroke and line on the painting seemed to carry the breath of life, making him completely absorbed in it.
After admiring it for a while, Wan Guangliang gently rolled up the calligraphy and painting and carefully put it into a specially prepared round paper tube.
Then, he took Liang Xiaoman's hand and walked out of the room, locking the door behind him.
In the private room reserved for the owner of the Guangfu Hotel, Chen Ze and three others were intently watching the surveillance footage.
When Chen Ze saw Liang Xiaoman and Wan Guangliang together, he was almost speechless with shock. He never imagined that after ruining Liu Haijun's family's future, Liang Xiaoman would actually climb up to a high-ranking official like Wan Guangliang.
He thought to himself: Liang Xiaoman, you will be a stray dog for the rest of your life. Your support is about to collapse. Let's see what you do then.
Chen Ze instructed Zeng Bojian, "Old Zeng, record the part where Wan Guangliang enters the villa."
"Okay, boss."
Yang Chengxu laughed and said, "This time the evidence is complete, we're just waiting for the Discipline Inspection and Supervision Team to come down."
Everyone in the private room wore a happy smile.
