When Jiang Xiaoyan saw the police arrive, her face paled instantly. She turned to look at Lu Feng, looking utterly exhausted. He had caused her so much trouble over the past few years.
"Hello, are you Mr. Lu Feng from Jiafeng Group?" the leader asked as he walked in.
Seeing the worry written all over Jiang Xiaoyan's face, Lu Feng reassured her, "Don't worry too much. They're just being polite. It's nothing. You go about your business."
"Yes, that's me. Let's sit down and talk."
"No need. I'm sure you know why we're here to see you, right? It's a big deal overseas, it can't be kept secret. Several countries around the world have been alerted." The police didn't beat around the bush with Lu Feng. They couldn't handle this kind of thing. As for Lu Feng's situation, they had only heard about it. Their superiors had just told them to bring him back.
"It's just a company going bankrupt and having some debt disputes," Lu Feng said dismissively.
"A little bit?" the policeman next to him couldn't help but exclaim, "A hundred billion US dollars is called a little bit?"
"How much?" Lu Feng raised his voice several times higher.
Jiang Xiaoyan's face was also filled with disbelief. One hundred billion, and in US dollars no less! This number was like a mountain. Even though she considered herself a female tycoon, she felt breathless at this moment.
“Mr. Lu, we’ve only heard about this, and we don’t know the specifics. You’d better come with us.”
Lu Feng didn't react at first, but after thinking about it for a moment, he had a pretty good idea of what was going on. He stood up, took a deep breath, and muttered, "They're really ruthless when it comes to making money!"
Before leaving, he reassured Jiang Xiaoyan not to worry too much, then went out with two policemen and was invited to Director Chen's office at the Public Security Bureau.
A few minutes later, Director Chen pushed open the door and walked in. Looking at Lu Feng, he scratched his head with some annoyance, picked up the enamel mug on the table, threw in some tea leaves, poured himself a cup of hot water, and said, "There's been a lot going on these past two days. There are newspapers on the table, take a look yourself. There's also a copy of the Wall Street Journal. By the way, you're now restricted from leaving the country."
Lu Feng picked up the newspaper on the table and started reading. Most of the media outlets were financial media, and the headlines were nothing more than that Jiafeng's technology was stolen from abroad, and many high-tech companies jointly condemned it.
"Exit restrictions? That's a good thing." Lu Feng nodded and said, "I heard some countries are accusing me of defrauding 100 billion?"
Director Chen sat down and looked at Lu Feng, saying, "Do you know that things have gotten out of hand at the top? I heard that when I called Mayor Zhou, he was cursing and swearing on the other end of the line. The international environment is very bad right now, and your matter is definitely adding fuel to the fire."
Director Chen looked like he was watching the show, so it seemed he wasn't planning to detain Lu Feng first, which put Lu Feng's mind at ease.
"What 100 billion? I don't know anything about that. I lost my passport at the end of last year and haven't found it yet. Do you believe me if I tell you I have a twin brother who looks exactly like me?" Lu Feng asked, staring at him.
"Dare you bluff any further?" Director Chen said, taking a sip of his tea.
“It’s definitely not a hundred billion US dollars. All my business activities there are permitted by the local authorities, with complete procedures and contracts with all agents. They are legitimate business activities. In business, there are gains and losses. If the other party wants to cause trouble, I suggest that the trial be held in a Shenzhen court, preferably the Nanshan Court,” Lu Feng said to Director Chen.
"Nanshan District? Isn't your company in Luohu District?" Director Chen asked, puzzled.
"Given my relationship with Deputy District Chief Li, do you think we can really go to court over that?"
“As long as you’re in China, you can rest assured. I heard you’re wanted internationally, and they’re demanding your extradition no matter where you are. Mayor Zhou called you here today to see if you’ve run away. The specifics still need a decision from higher up,” Director Chen said truthfully.
Lu Feng nodded, already knowing he was alright. This whole thing was like a joke: if a death row inmate invented controlled nuclear fusion before his execution, should he still be executed? The answer is, what death row inmate? It was a bad guy deliberately attacking a scientist.
Lu Feng was unaware that when this incident happened last night, the police almost detained him directly. The Science and Technology Commission stopped them immediately after hearing about it, and Tingting's father also inquired about it. After comprehensive consideration, they decided to restrict him from leaving the country.
In the morning, the criticism of Jiafeng by numerous international tech giants caused a major upheaval in the domestic tech circle. Countless senior engineers condemned Jiafeng as shameless and discussed among themselves that in the United States, a garbage company like Jiafeng would not be able to survive at all, because there, losing one's reputation is equivalent to losing everything.
Not only are people criticizing Lu Feng, but Liu Cheng is also being criticized this time. Several former colleagues even called to scold him. Being with such a person will eventually lead you down a shameless path, and this incident is even tarnishing the international image of domestic engineers.
"President Liu, I used to think you were an engineer with ideals, but I never imagined you'd end up like this. You're rich now, but let me tell you, you'll always be a piece of trash who plagiarizes everywhere. As long as Lu Feng gives you a bone, you'll do anything!"
The person on the other end of the phone was yelling and panting.
Liu Cheng listened to these words with a solemn expression. When he heard the cursing on the other end of the phone stop, he felt a mix of emotions and said something Lu Feng had once told him: "We've taken the blame. When the microphone isn't in our hands, we can't out-shout the other side. We just hope you work hard, expand your business, and let this seed, which you see as stolen, sprout. That's all, goodbye."
