"Looks like we really caught them. What a pair of idiots. I don't know how they managed to stay hidden all those years ago." Jiang Cheng sneered, then aggravated the injury on his face and turned to spit out a mouthful of blood onto the ground.
"How did you end up with them?" Li Chu asked casually.
Upon hearing Li Chu's question, Director Liu quickly gave a wink to the person next to him. The person then took out a notebook from a drawer on a side table, took out a pen from his jacket pocket, and sat down to take notes.
Jiang Cheng merely turned to look at that person, then turned back to look at Li Chu, and after thinking for a moment, said, "When I was handling a case before, I went to that scrap metal recycling station to look for something, and that's how I met Old Hu."
Later, I accidentally discovered that his usual spending was significantly inconsistent with his income. At first, I thought he was stealing things from the recycling station to sell. I was also worried about money at that time, so I wanted to see how he made money. I also wanted to get some. After following him for a few days, I found out that he had never sold those things at all. He went to the black market twice to sell gold bars.
I paid special attention, wanting to see where his gold bars came from…
At this moment, Director Liu interrupted him: "Jiang Cheng, when did this happen?"
When Director Liu asked that question, Jiang Cheng simply shut up and not only closed his mouth but also his eyes.
Director Liu was so angry he wanted to come up and hit him.
Li Chu thought for a moment and said, "Later, didn't you find out that the gold bars Lao Hu sold on the black market were all given to him by that man from the supply and marketing cooperative?"
Siluke
Jiang Cheng remained silent, leaving Director Liu dumbfounded. Why did he suddenly stop talking as soon as Jiang Cheng interrupted?
This really infuriated Director Liu.
Li Chu smiled and asked, "Jiang Cheng, when you were planning to buy Jiang Li a job but needed money, why didn't you come to me?"
At this moment, Jiang Cheng opened his eyes, a complicated expression in them: "When we were kids, I was better than you at everything, whether it was studying, shooting, climbing trees, swimming, or even fighting. Why am I not as good as you now that we're grown up? I can't ask you for money."
"Sigh," Li Chu sighed, "How did you find out who those two people were?"
Jiang Cheng didn't answer Li Chu's question. Instead, as if he hadn't heard it, he asked, "How exactly did you find out that I had someone follow you?"
"You might not know this, but I don't actually have many friends, let alone any enemies. There aren't many people who know where I work but don't know where I live. So I just asked someone to follow you casually. I didn't expect that on the first night of following you, I would find out that you went to see that thief."
"So it turns out that the person who was following me that night was someone you hired." Jiang Cheng was somewhat taken aback.
"What, you know someone is following you?" Li Chu was also somewhat surprised, as he had always thought that Jiang Cheng hadn't noticed anyone following him.
Jiang Cheng nodded and then shook his head, saying, "I knew someone was following me. I thought it was that guy surnamed Cai."
"The one surnamed Cai?"
“It’s that guy from the supply and marketing cooperative,” Jiang Cheng explained.
“He did follow you that night. The people I found were able to locate the scrap metal yard because they discovered him.”
"Heh," Jiang Cheng shook his head: "With this level of skill, you dare to follow people? You'll be caught red-handed this time."
After a pause, Jiang Cheng continued, "Li Chu, believe it or not, I didn't reveal any information about you to them. They really do want to find you and your sister. I used this to keep them hanging, to get money to buy Lili a job, and to get them to come with me to the south to castrate that man."
"Hmm," Li Chu nodded, "I believe that. They really don't know my information yet, but how did you know their identities? Do they have any other contacts?"
Jiang Cheng stared at Li Chu for a while before speaking, "You don't need to worry about anything else. For the sake of my deceased parents, please help take care of Lily and her daughter."
I'm sorry to you and Ding Qiunan, and I also feel guilty towards our parents, but Lily truly knew nothing about this."
After saying that, Jiang Cheng closed his eyes again and remained silent no matter what Li Chu said next.
Left with no other option, Director Liu had to have Jiang Cheng taken away.
"Wait a minute." Li Chu called out to the three people who had already reached the door.
"Jiang Cheng, how many letters did you send to my wife in total?"
"Two letters"
After saying that, Jiang Cheng walked out with unsteady steps.
"Is there another letter?" Director Liu asked Li Chu.
He took out another letter he had received that afternoon from his bag and handed it to Director Liu.
"After you left this afternoon, we received another letter. According to what he just said, there should only be these two."
Director Liu took the letter and glanced at it casually: "Have them test it again later. Why did Jiang Cheng say it was potassium cyanide?"
Li Chu shrugged: "I think he was fooled. Both things are white powders. You can't tell the difference just by looking at them without tasting them."
Director Liu looked at Li Chu with a wry smile. If Li Chu had actually tried it, he wouldn't be busy here right now.
"If it really is potassium cyanide, I might be in big trouble today. That stuff is much more toxic than arsenic. Whether I can still stand here and talk to you is another matter. I might have to be taken to the emergency room."
"Should I thank the person who lied to him?" Director Liu asked irritably.
"Hehe," Li Chu chuckled and stood up. "Alright, Uncle Liu, now that I've seen him, I should go. The rest is up to you."
"Take your time cooking it. I'll have someone deliver it to you."
As they walked downstairs, Li Chu suddenly spoke up again, "Uncle Liu, what about Jiang Li..."
Director Liu stopped in his tracks: "What, do you have something on your mind?"
“If you find out that Jiang Li was indeed unaware of the situation, then let her continue working if possible. If you need to recover the embezzled funds, I will make up for the money I used to buy her a job.”
"Don't worry, we'll find out the truth. It's currently under wraps and will remain so, so as not to affect her future life."
Yes, it definitely needs to be kept secret. With something like this happening internally, everyone from top to bottom will want to cover it up. If it gets out, I don't know how many people will be punished.
When they arrived downstairs, Director Liu had someone call Ding Qiunan out of the lounge, and then arranged for a car to take them back.
"Qiu Nan, you can rest assured from now on. The matter has been completely resolved."
Director Liu looked at Ding Qiunan, whose face was still somewhat pale, and offered her words of comfort.
"Thank you, Uncle Liu, for your trouble."
"Since you're already calling me uncle, there's no need to be so polite. Alright, you should all go back and rest."
After watching them get into the car, Director Liu said to Li Chu, "Xiao Chu, someone will deliver the certificate you applied for to you tomorrow. You just need to sign it then."
"Uncle Liu, we're leaving now."
