The next day, Xu Tingchuan specifically instructed people to keep an eye on the movements at the villa on the island in the middle of the lake.
In the end, they didn't find someone to demolish the house as Ni Sitian had said. What Li Yinan said yesterday was probably just to scare Ni Sitian, possibly to coerce her into giving in.
However, he was genuinely curious about who Li Yinan wanted Ni Sitian to meet.
When Xu Tingchuan came out of the conference room after finishing the morning meeting, his assistant Xu greeted him and reported on the project that was competing with Dacheng Group. Hongda Company was ready to select them, and General Manager Chen from that side had asked him to discuss the details.
In the afternoon, Xu Tingchuan called Ni Sitian to let her know that he would be having a dinner party that evening and wouldn't be home for dinner.
Ni Sitian knew that Xu Tingchuan was always particularly busy near the end of the year, so she told him to drink less alcohol and then hung up the phone.
Just as she stepped out of the study to get some water, her phone rang again. It was Chen's assistant calling to tell her the good news that the show had been scheduled for release at the end of January, during the prime time of the Lunar New Year holiday—a particularly good time slot.
Ni Sitian hung up the phone happily and quickly went into the small study.
She is currently working on her second drama, which is more realistic than the first one and can be considered a drama about the lives of a young couple.
After receiving the release date notification, she became even more enthusiastic about creating this new drama and drew many storyboards.
Just as I was getting into the swing of things, my phone rang for the third time. This time it was a call from the North City Police Bureau.
She was surprised for a moment, then answered the phone. A young man's voice came from the other end: "Are you a family member of Ni Qianshan?"
"No." Ni Sitian had already broken off her relationship with him and didn't want to get involved in his affairs.
"Are you Miss Ni Sitian?" the young man asked again.
“Yes.” Ni Sitian couldn’t deny it.
"Come to the North City Police Station. Your father, Ni Qianshan, is suspected of fundraising fraud. We need to speak with you to understand the situation." After saying this, the young man, seemingly very busy, hung up the phone without waiting for Ni Sitian's reply.
Ni Sitian gripped her phone tightly. She and Ni Qianshan had severed their father-daughter relationship, but that had no legal effect. Ni Qianshan seemed to have committed a crime, and she wondered if it would implicate the Xu family. She should go and check on him.
After thinking about it, Ni Sitian tidied herself up, got up, grabbed her bag, went out, and took a taxi to the North City Police Station.
This was the branch office, and it was Ni Sitian's first time there. No one recognized her. After registering with the police, she was first taken into a small room for questioning.
She didn't know much about economic fraud, but she heard from the police that Ni Qianshan was involved in fraud involving several million yuan.
Now that the money is gone, the police will question the family members in this case.
"We've also contacted the mother and daughter you mentioned, but we haven't heard from them. They might have run off with the money." The police had already checked Ni Sitian's accounts and found nothing unusual, so they told her, "You can go now. We'll contact you again if needed."
"What about Ni Qianshan?" Ni Sitian wanted to know if he had used the Xu family's name when he was committing fraud.
“He probably won’t be able to leave. The amount involved is already considered huge in terms of sentencing. We will proceed with the legal process,” the police officer replied to Ni Sitian.
"If it's true, how many years will he be imprisoned?" Ni Sitian frowned. Although Ni Qianshan was utterly despicable, she never imagined he would end up in such a state.
"This amount will likely remain for at least twenty years, and may even be heavier."
After a moment of silence, Ni Sitian asked, "Can I see him now?"
