"Will you tell me or not? Huh?"
The older cousin's fist, as big as a clay pot, kept hitting Chen Xianggui.
Lou Zaiqiang, standing nearby, felt a chill run down his spine and his anus tighten.
He quietly moved next to his daughter Lou Chunyue, giving her a frantic look that signaled for her to stop him.
"Dad, just keep an eye on things and don't get involved. Otherwise, Chu Yang will really get angry. If he even hits you, I won't be able to stop him," Lou Chunyue said.
Even his daughter wouldn't help, so Lou Zaiqiang could only stand there with a question mark on his forehead, watching obediently.
"That's too brutal." Shen Li exclaimed, then eagerly tried it out: "Brother Arno, my Heavenly Blade Whirlwind Kick can make him kneel down and beg for mercy."
Chu Yang said, both amused and exasperated, "Stop joking, this is an interrogation, not murder."
Long Xiang, however, couldn't stand it anymore: "Brother Arno, what we're doing isn't right. This is an abuse of power, and we'll be punished."
Shi Nuo asked seriously, "Tell me, if this succeeds, will you be highly regarded? Will you get a promotion and a raise?"
Long Xiang hesitated for a moment, then said, "Yes."
"That's settled then, as long as you do a great job." Shi Nuo grinned and punched Chen Xianggui again: "Speak!"
Long Xiang opened his mouth and whispered a reminder: "Brother Arno, you've gagged him, so he can't say anything even if he wants to."
"Oh right." Shi Nuo slapped his forehead, pulled the cloth out of Chen Xianggui's mouth, and said fiercely, "Are you going to talk or not? Huh?"
Chen Xianggui's face turned green, and he grimaced in pain: "Big brother, just ask me what you want me to say."
Shi Nuo grabbed him by the throat: "Do I need to ask you what you're saying? Don't you know what you've done? Just tell the truth, or I'll give you a hard time!"
Chen Xianggui was stubborn and said righteously, "I know very well what I did. It was to help the country's construction and benefit the country and its people... um!"
Before he could finish speaking, his mouth was covered again.
"Since you're so stubborn, let's go all out." Shi Nuo grinned menacingly.
At this moment, Chu Yang walked to Long Xiang's side and whispered, "Go check their finance office."
Long Xiang nodded and walked out the door.
"Sister Chunyue, come with me. You know more about finances. Bring your camera and take pictures of all the evidence," Chu Yang said.
"Okay." Lou Chunyue followed.
For pyramid schemes like this, a simple financial investigation is all it takes to uncover their crimes, often catching them completely off guard.
Who would have thought that Chu Yang would cause trouble at their headquarters?
In short, things progressed even more smoothly than Chu Yang had imagined.
Chen Xianggui confessed, he confessed everything.
The way my cousin interrogated me was simply unbearable for an ordinary person. In just a few minutes, he was in a state of ecstasy and death, and even revealed that he had kept several women and slept with his mother-in-law.
The confession video was also recorded.
The finance department has also collected all the evidence.
Soon, Long Xiang dispatched a large force to arrest people. In a surprise attack without warning, everyone in Wanli Manor was taken away.
Lou Zaiqiang was also taken away.
He witnessed Chen Xianggui's confession firsthand and finally realized he had made a terrible mistake.
Chu Yang and his group also went to the police station to cooperate with the investigation.
No one expected that the so-called massive afforestation project, a green engineering project supported by the state, was actually a colossal lie orchestrated by Chen Xianggui.
The amount involved in the case is as high as 300 million yuan.
If it weren't for Chu Yang's infiltration and violent exposure of the enemy's lair, who knows how much more money would have been swindled and how many more ordinary people would have been harmed.
Chen Xianggui never expected that his plan, which he thought was foolproof, would fall apart like this.
That was so damn sudden...
Chu Yang and his group didn't get out of the police station until evening that day.
"Brother Arno!" Long Xiang ran over.
"And Brother Chu!" he said with gratitude, "This time, thanks to you, we were able to crack such a big pyramid scheme fraud case, and thanks to you, I was able to reunite with Brother Arno!"
"Thank you, Brother Chu, thank you, Brother Arno!"
Chu Yang laughed and said, "It's all thanks to you, Brother Arno, for being your old comrade-in-arms that you trust me so much, saving me a lot of time."
"Regardless, I will remember this kindness!" Long Xiang said earnestly.
After saying that, he saluted and said, "I'll come find you guys for a good drink after I've finished dealing with things here!"
"Alright, go ahead and get busy." Shi Nuo waved his hand and made a phone gesture: "I'll contact you later."
"Okay!" Long Xiang replied and went back to the station.
Chu Yang's gaze fell on Lou Zaiqiang.
At this moment, the department head seemed like a child who had been abducted and returned home, suffering a huge blow, looking lost and listless.
He was released so quickly because he cooperated with the investigation, confessed well, and was also deceived, so his case wasn't considered serious.
But for him, it was a bolt from the blue.
After returning home, he will gather his relatives and friends who have already made purchases to come here and register, hoping to recover the money he was scammed out of.
He invested 300,000 yuan himself, and his relatives and friends invested 500,000 yuan.
If it weren't for Chu Yang's intervention, he probably would have squeezed all his relatives and friends dry.
"Eight hundred thousand, a whole eight hundred thousand! How am I going to explain this to them! I was so foolish! I deserve to die! I deserve to die!" He shed tears of remorse.
Although the money can most likely be recovered, it will definitely take a long time, and because of this incident, his credibility and reputation will be completely ruined, and he will lose all face.
