I have ten trillion licking dog gold

"Of course, I can take full responsibility for what I've said. Chairman Fan mentioned this name to me before he fell from the building. As for why, I don't know, because Chairman Fan didn't have a chance to say it before the accident happened. But I can be sure that this person put a lot of pressure on Chairman Fan. This may be one of the main factors that led to this tragedy."

The inspection team's residence.

Zhou Shaohua spoke calmly and eloquently, and when he got excited, he couldn't help but clench his hands, filled with righteous indignation.

"Chairman Fan's death was truly tragic. He fell more than 100 meters and didn't even leave behind a complete body. I've known Chairman Fan for so many years, and I never imagined he would end up like this. As his friend, I am heartbroken. Chairman Fan dedicated his life to promoting the development of Shacheng and made outstanding contributions to Shacheng and the happiness of its people. He was a hero of Shacheng! He shouldn't have met such an end!"

opposite.

The two inspection team members, both in their thirties, remained expressionless, completely unmoved by Zhou Shao's vivid speech, and didn't even take notes.

"A hero of Shacheng? Does that refer to the dozens of lawsuits pending? Since its inception, Greenland has accumulated thousands of disputes and lawsuits, and impressively, its win rate has reached an astonishing 95%. Calling him a hero of Shacheng is not quite accurate; calling him an unyielding figure in Shacheng is more fitting."

Sitting in his chair, Zhou Shao smirked. "How can a business avoid disputes? It's perfectly normal. The bigger the company, the more lawsuits it will have. Which state-owned enterprise doesn't have a string of cases?"

One of the inspection team members nodded and picked up his thermos.

At less than forty years old, she's already drinking goji berries in her thermos. It must be related to the nature of her work; working in the public sector definitely makes people look more mature than their peers in other industries, especially in her profession.

"Yes, it's normal to be involved in lawsuits. But you just said that Fan Wanli died because of stress? Wasn't his death caused by seriously substandard construction quality?"

"I'm talking about the main factors."

Zhou Shaohua corrected.

"Is it true that Greenland Group's construction projects were done shoddyly, using inferior materials, and were perfunctory?"

The inspection team members drank tea while watching him, speaking slowly and deliberately, effectively blocking any escape route Zhou Shaohua could take.

Zhou Shaohua shrugged and leaned back in his iron chair. "The quality of Greenland's construction is an internal problem for their company. What does it have to do with an outsider like me?"

"Isn't this any of your business?"

Zhou Shaohua smiled silently and asked in return, "Does it matter?"

"That piece of land where the incident occurred, wasn't it you who helped Greenland acquire it?"

Another specialist spoke up, his tone calm, as if chatting casually, yet it gave off a tremendous sense of pressure.

Zhou Shao unconsciously adjusted his posture, a small gesture that suggested he wasn't as comfortable here as he was at the Municipal Bureau.

"Real estate companies acquire land through open, transparent, and standardized bidding processes. I don't know where you heard these rumors, but I can tell you they are completely unfounded. I have no such ability."

You don't have it.

He drank tea with nonchalant ease, blowing on the hot tea in his thermos.

Although it was hard to detect, Zhou Shaohua's expression changed very subtly upon hearing these words.

really.

Even though he had anticipated it, when it was finally confirmed, Zhou Shaohua couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine, and a sinister glint flashed in his eyes.

"Chairman Fan just died tragically, and you're here criticizing him based on mere rumors. Doesn't that show a lack of basic respect for the deceased?"

Just like in a boxing ring, Zhou Shao moved nimbly, dodging his opponent's attacks.

"We regret Fan Wanli's death, but death cannot solve everything. Some things cannot be left uninvestigated just because he is dead. From a personal perspective, to be honest, I admire his courage. But if he thought that he could exchange his own hard landing for the safe landing of others, then I can only say that his thinking was too naive."

"Then you should hurry up and investigate. I've already told you. That guy named Jiang Chen is definitely involved in this matter. Just like you brought me here, bringing him here would be easy for you too, right?"

What does it mean to be neither humble nor arrogant? This is what it means to be neither humble nor arrogant!

Zhou Shao perfectly embodies the meaning of "unyielding in the face of power," his spine is truly straight.

He is the pride of Shacheng!
"We called you here only to ask you some questions, please don't get so agitated."

Am I excited?

Zhou Shao showed no fear, facing two opponents alone. His gaze remained unwavering. Only a thief would feel guilty. He had a clear conscience and was upright and honest. What did he have to be afraid of?

"If you think I'm agitated, I'm sorry, it's probably because I haven't had enough rest. After all, I've only been at the Municipal Bureau for a little over twenty hours, and I've answered many of the questions you just asked."

The room only had one large glass window, but it didn't face the outside. In addition, his phone had been confiscated—no, temporarily stored—and Zhou Shao wasn't wearing a watch, so he didn't know what time it was, whether it was day or night.

The two commissioners seemed completely oblivious to the sarcastic remark, their composure was infuriating.

"You can rest now, and we'll come back when you're rested."

What do you mean?
Is this a plan to imprison him?
Zhou Shao raised an eyebrow. "Is this a place to rest?"

Do you need a cot?

Zhou Shao's expression shifted between light and dark.

As a law-abiding citizen, one can indeed be fearless, but being fearless does not mean one must strain relationships.

So all his emotions finally turned into a smile, and he took a gentle breath.

"I need a softer bed."

The specialist, who had started taking care of her health in her thirties, nodded, picked up her thermos, and was about to leave with her colleague.

At that moment, someone walked past the semi-transparent glass window and was seen by Zhou Shao, who was facing the window.

"That's the guy!"

Zhou Shaohua couldn't help but raise his hand and shout out.

Like a file, every second you spend in this kind of place drains your mental energy.

Subtle and imperceptible, without a sound or notice.

The person passing by outside the glass window seemed to have heard the noise inside and turned to look.

One inside, one outside, their gazes met through the glass window.

The man paused for a moment, then continued walking forward, and then the door opened.

According to regulations, outsiders are definitely not allowed to enter this room, but the two staff members ignored them, nodded to the visitors, and then walked around them and left.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Shao's eyes twitched, and he couldn't help but mutter something under his breath.

"Oh shit."

Can't you tell?
They're obviously in cahoots!

"Clap."

The door closes.

The number of people in the room decreased from three to two.

A war of attrition, huh?

of course not.

Mr. Jiang, who was also there to support the inspection team, sat down in the same spot as the commissioner. The difference in their positions made it impossible for Zhou Shao to act properly, and his face was even more gloomy than the gray wall.

He had taken the initiative to visit me last time, but this time he remained silent and didn't even greet me.

But the other party spoke up, and was very gentlemanly and polite.

"What a coincidence."

Did I just happen to be passing by, saw this by chance, and then come in to say hello?

"Mr. Jiang, you have quite the skills."

Even if you lose, you can't lose face. Young Master Zhou is definitely a decent person. He didn't say anything mean, and his smile was forced.

"Zhou underestimated Mr. Jiang by saying that he could command them to do things."

"Young Master Zhou, watch your words. There are surveillance cameras here."

Mr. Jiang kindly offered a reminder.

Zhou Shaohua looked up at the camera hanging in the corner of the ceiling. "So what if there's surveillance? Is telling the truth illegal?"

Jiang Chen remained noncommittal, sitting openly in the commissioner's seat as if nothing had changed from that night when he sat on his own worn-out sofa with its peeling paint. He greeted him with a polite question: "How long have you been here, Young Master Zhou?"

He could remain consistent, but Zhou Shao, under immense mental pressure, certainly couldn't maintain the same composure as that night; his smile was mocking.

"Isn't Mr. Jiang asking a question he already knows the answer to? I thought Mr. Jiang was an upright and honest person."

"Young Master Zhou must have misunderstood. Your coming here has nothing to do with me."

Most of the time, at least with men, Boss Jiang is always honest. He just made a tip-off call and never asked anyone to be arrested. But Young Master Zhou sitting across from him certainly wouldn't think that way.

"At this point, Mr. Jiang, why be so modest? Is Mr. Jiang perhaps worried about the cameras overhead?"

Boss Jiang remained unperturbed, saying calmly, "Perhaps Young Master Zhou can look for the cause within himself." "Fan Wanli's death has nothing to do with me. Anyone who wants to convict me is delusional."

Zhou Shaohua spoke each word carefully.

"It's no use for you to tell me this, Young Master Zhou. The innocent will clear themselves. If you are innocent, no one can frame you, so you should maintain a good attitude. Good people don't stay here for long."

Boss Jiang must have noticed the other party's unusual state, so he comforted him.

Mr. Jiang is such a kind person.

Even though the night ended badly because of Qing Gege's interference, they still didn't hold a grudge.

"Of course. I'll definitely be out right away."

Zhou Shaohua smiled, but his eyes were sharp. "Otherwise, I'll file a complaint."

He said it very loudly; if the camera were working properly, it would definitely have been heard.

no doubt.

This is a player with a strong mentality.

Even now, my confidence remains.

A life full of ups and downs is inevitable.

A few minor setbacks, why bother?

"It would be best if Young Master Zhou thought that way."

Jiang Chen nodded. "Then I'll take my leave."

Zhou Shaohua did not linger. He watched the other person get up without saying a word, then closed his eyes to rest, maintaining his proper posture.

More than ten minutes later.

The room door opens.

They didn't come to deliver a bed.

"you can go now."

Zhou Shaohua opened his eyes, a slight smile playing on his lips. Before getting up, he straightened his clothes.

When faced with injustice, one should bravely defend one's legitimate rights; this is something every citizen should learn.

He stood up, glanced at the camera, gave a smirk, and strode away.

The entrance to the inspection team's office.

Before Boss Jiang left, he received a phone call.

“Violence against Chinese people and people of Chinese descent is occurring all over the world, and the lives and property of Chinese people abroad are under serious threat, especially to wealthy groups…”

"Why are you telling me this?"

Mr. Jiang was a little confused.

"If I don't tell you, who else should I tell?"

The voice on the other end of the phone, though unpretentious, exuded an air of nobility that seemed to flow from his very being.

"When Chinese people are subjected to illegal harm, they should communicate with the local authorities and urge them to provide effective protection..."

"Stop giving me this nonsense. I'm not joking. This is a very serious matter, and some... children of high-ranking officials have been affected..."

Mr. Jiang interrupted them again, saying casually, "Then just let them come back. The house is definitely safe."

The person on the other end laughed.

"Are you gloating? If they hold you accountable for everything, you'll be in big trouble."

"Why should I be held responsible? It was foreigners who robbed them, not me."

"That's because you started it. Since they couldn't catch you, they had to find another way to vent their anger. You know, these organized, large-scale acts of violence now all have a unified name."

"what name?"

"Project Dragon Hunter".

Jiang Chen laughed and said to himself, "That's quite fitting."

"Anyway, we Celestial Dragons are rich, so it doesn't matter if we get robbed. We'll just consider it as volunteering as international friends."

To avoid provoking the other person, he added, but adding something is worse than not adding anything at all.

"You did this on purpose, didn't you? Using outsiders as a tool to bleed those people dry."

"I don't have that ability."

"But it's true."

Jiang Chen remained silent, unable to refute. Indeed, too many wealthy people's descendants live abroad, and not just the wealthy ones; this so-called "Dragon Hunter Project" has undoubtedly put them in enormous risk.

They're not pushovers who won't fight back.

In this regard, Mr. Jiang, who initiated the violent action, certainly bears an unshirkable responsibility.
I didn't kill Bo Ren, but Bo Ren died because of me.

Are you happy too?

"Boss Jiang suddenly asked."

"Why should I be happy?"

Princess Cao said instinctively, then immediately realized what she meant and laughed, "Don't try to drag me into this."

"Can you stand seeing those people take all their money abroad to spend? I certainly can't. They deserve to be robbed."

"So you've finally spoken your mind, haven't you?"

"Oh, Mr. Jiang hasn't left yet."

Zhou Shaohua, who hadn't killed anyone, walked out unharmed and greeted Boss Jiang with a smile when he saw him making a phone call at the door.

Jiang Chen turned around, his expression completely unchanged. "Young Master Zhou is out."

"Thank you for your kind words, Mr. Jiang. I'm going to see my aunt now."

Is having an aunt something to brag about?
He also has an aunt.

No.

He has more than just an aunt.

Jiang Chen nodded, not showing off like the other person.

Who are you talking to?

The phone made a sound.

"Mr. Zhou."

"Young Master Zhou?"

Laughter came from the other end of the phone, but it wasn't mockery. Princess Cao wasn't that vulgar; her laughter was simply a natural reaction to hearing something amusing.

"Aren't you in Sand City?"

"Yes."

There was no response from the other end.

"Shacheng is, after all, a prefecture-level city."

Mr. Jiang is trying to restore the reputation of his hometown.

"I won't bother Mr. Jiang any longer. See you later."

Zhou Shaohua glanced at his phone, which was very thoughtful.

Jiang Chen nodded, looking very serious.

Goodbye, Young Master Zhou.

"Giggle."

As if unable to contain himself, amusement rang out again from the other end of the phone. (End of Chapter)
