Jiang Chuan still couldn't understand it.

“He did not transfer the money directly, but invested it overseas, and those funds were not used for any normal purpose.”

Now, a difficult problem lies before us: how exactly should we explain this to Mr. Xu?

"Old Xu has always been highly respected and has consistently provided me with strong support. If I were to tell him about this now, I'm afraid the outcome would be..."

Jiang Chuan simply couldn't imagine what would happen if Old Xu found out about this. Putting aside whether he could bear it emotionally, even if the two brothers were to become enemies, it would surely deeply hurt the old man's heart.

“When his daughter broke the law, how heartbroken Mr. Xu was. If we hadn’t taken him into our home, I really don’t know how he would have gotten through those difficult days.”

Jiang Chuan was at a loss, but Xu Jiajia gently patted his shoulder.

"But we can't keep this a secret forever. We're, after all, the closest people to Old Master Xu now. Maybe it'll be better if we tell him the truth."

Xu Jiajia understood that, although it was difficult to accept emotionally, perhaps only they could help Old Master Xu get through this difficult time.

"That's right!"

At this moment, Jiang Chuan made a decision.

"Here's what we'll do. Let Chen Tianfei handle this matter of reporting to the higher-ups. Don't worry too much; the higher-ups will never suspect anyone because of this."

"it is good!"

And so, they split up. After Jiang Chuan returned home, he and Xu Jiajia invited Old Master Xu into the living room.

"What's wrong? You all look so tense today, has something happened?"

"Mr. Xu, do you have a younger brother named Xu Wangsheng?"

"he?"

Old Xu was somewhat surprised to hear his younger brother's name. The two brothers, who hadn't seen each other for many years, had no idea what the other was doing.

"All I know is that he was imprisoned before, and after he got out, he contacted me once, saying that he was going to start a business. Since then, we've lost touch. But before he started his business, he told me that he would never come looking for me until he had made a name for himself."

Hearing what Old Xu said, Jiang Chuan and Xu Jiajia felt even more depressed.

"What happened? Could something have happened to my brother?"

"Yes!"

Left with no other choice, Xu Jiajia could only recount everything she knew to Old Master Xu in detail.

After hearing this, Mr. Xu remained silent.

"Please don't do that. If you think we did something wrong, I will investigate further and find evidence to prove that your brother has nothing to do with this."

Jiang Chuan knew that Old Xu was getting on in years, and the last time his daughter had caused trouble, the old man almost ended up in the hospital. If he found out that his brother had done something even worse than his daughter, the old man probably wouldn't be able to bear it.

At this moment, Xu Jiajia kept her phone in her hand, ready to call an ambulance immediately if Mr. Xu could not bear it any longer.

"Is there any wine?"

Old Xu's actions surprised Jiang Chuan and Xu Jiajia.

"Have!"

Jiang Chuan simply brought over a bottle of red wine.

"Are you trying to fob me off with this? Go straight for Moutai!"

Left with no other choice, Jiang Chuan took out an unopened bottle of Moutai and placed it in front of Old Xu.

"How about I cook?"

But Mr. Xu did not respond. Instead, he silently opened the Moutai and stared intently at the bottle in front of him.

At this moment, the mother brought out three cups and some snacks to go with the drinks; luckily, there were some left in the refrigerator.

"Let's have something nice for lunch today, so you can have a good chat."

In front of everyone, Old Xu filled his wine glass to the brim.

"Alright! I must thank you for this first drink. I know you were just as surprised as I was when you first heard about this."

Old Xu's calmness made Jiang Chuan and Xu Jiajia even more nervous. Was something really wrong with Old Xu? Or had he already let go of the past? That couldn't be! A brother they hadn't seen for years suddenly becoming a criminal was something no one could accept, not to mention the various problems it might cause.

"Don't worry, we will definitely do everything we can to find your brother and ask him why he did such a crime against humanity."

"Need not!"

Actually, although Old Xu was in a bad mood, he hadn't reached the point of collapse. He felt that his younger brother was completely beyond saving.

“As a citizen, I naturally know how to deal with such a person. I just didn’t expect that this person would be my own brother. Don’t make things difficult for me, just handle it as you see fit. Since he has violated the laws of the country, he should be punished by law.”

In fact, Old Xu had long been aware of the greater good and was mentally prepared. He knew that his younger brother would get into trouble sooner or later, and sure enough, he did.

“Don’t worry about me. I’m just as happy in your house. If you can really find my brother, take me to the prison to see him. I want to ask him why he did things that betrayed the country and the people.”

On the other hand, the higher-ups were equally shocked upon learning of this. No one had expected that, at this crucial moment, Xu Wangsheng would be so different from his brother, Old Xu.

"Hey!"

The superior held the phone and shook his head helplessly; he truly hadn't expected such a thing to happen.

"Is there anything wrong with Old Xu?"

"I'm not too sure about that, but my boss and sister-in-law have already gone back, so I don't think there should be any problems."

Hearing this, the superior was somewhat relieved. He knew that as long as Jiang Chuan was around, there wouldn't be any major problems. He just felt regretful that his younger brother had to do something like this at such a crucial moment, causing his older brother such heartache.

That afternoon, Jiang Chuan called his superiors again to inform them that Mr. Xu's emotions were currently relatively stable.

"Are you sure?"

"Don't worry, there won't be any problems. Old Xu said that we should do everything we can to capture this person. But I'm sure it's not that simple."

In fact, the terrorists had informed Xu Wangsheng that he might be exposed, but Xu Wangsheng did not care about it.

"I'm already this old, what else can I say? I just hope to do something meaningful in my lifetime, but it seems that's not so easy now. It's okay, let them come if they want. Anyway, if one corner of my 'triangle' is in trouble, it won't affect the other two. Let me just expose myself and let them direct all their anger at me."

In fact, Xu Wangsheng had long since given up on struggling like this.

He simply felt he needed to give his brother an explanation. From the moment he first accepted help from the foreign corporation, he knew this day would come sooner or later. He didn't want to flee abroad and live a life of constant displacement.

In his view, he had already been to prison once, and going a second time would just be a "second stint," at most a death sentence, which he was already used to. However, he didn't dare to directly confront the police. Left with no other choice, he hired a group of bodyguards and then tried every means to leave his residence, hiding deep in a mountain. He thought that living under an assumed name there would prevent him from being discovered.

Sure enough, just two days after he left, the police found his residence, only to discover that it was deserted.

Where is the owner of this place?

The neighbors who witnessed this scene were also very puzzled.

"That person seems to have moved away. I remember two days before he moved, he invited all the neighbors over for a meal. I was wondering why he was being so generous all of a sudden. Turns out he was moving. Good heavens, you're here. Does that mean he broke the law?"

Left with no other option, the police produced an arrest warrant.

"So, he's a person who's harmful to the country?"

But now, these people can't say for sure where Xu Wangsheng went. All they know is that he said he was leaving the city.

This is troublesome. Everyone knows that if he really hides deep in the mountains, finding him again won't be easy.

However, Xu Wangsheng has now found a relatively stable place and has settled down here for the time being.

Left with no other option, the police turned to Chen Tianfei, hoping he could offer some assistance. But the problem was, the matter was far from simple.

"My God, while my skills are impressive, they're not quite at that level. You want me to use the technology I have on hand to find someone like that? That's just a pipe dream."

The problem is, he's currently the country's most wanted criminal. And everyone knows that if he's not caught, many secrets will never be revealed.

"Let me give it a try."

Of course, this secret has caused a huge uproar worldwide. The other two powerful figures are located deep within Atlantis. This person is said to have close ties with Put. Furthermore, Put also suddenly disappeared after the problems arose in the fifth world. Could there be some connection between these two people?

The hardest person to find was actually in India. Everyone knows that people in that region don't seem very shrewd, and it's easier to hide someone there.

Now that people from these three regions are starting to surface, all the military and police forces around the world have joined forces, and even Interpol has begun to cooperate in the operation.

Firstly, the Great Shang Kingdom has also achieved certain results after making efforts in various aspects.

Using his technical skills, Chen Tianfei began scanning all the mountains. It was a massive undertaking, but fortunately, his satellite had decent performance.

Sure enough, after three days of continuous screening, they discovered several suspicious locations. After further screening, the local military and police immediately initiated procedures to conduct a final investigation.

At this moment, police from one of the areas quickly called Jiang Chuan, hoping he could provide some assistance, as they had located Xu Wangsheng's hiding place.

"Really? I've been looking for him everywhere!"

Jiang Chuan was furious; he desperately wanted to know where this scoundrel was hiding. The police then provided an address, revealing that Xu Wangsheng was indeed hiding deep in the mountains, and had even built a seemingly dilapidated house to conceal his identity.

"Ha, he really thinks he's some kind of country bumpkin."

Jiang Chuan immediately informed Xu Jiajia of the news, and the couple quickly made preparations and drove to the scene. Upon arrival, they discovered that Xu Wangsheng had not noticed their arrival.

"Let the capture begin."

The police quietly approached Xu Wangsheng's residence, but were discovered first by his bodyguards.

The situation changed instantly, and the bodyguards immediately reported everything to Xu Wangsheng.

"not good!"

Xu Wangsheng sensed something was wrong and immediately tried to flee towards the back mountain. However, he was blocked by Jiang Chuan and his wife after only a few steps.

"You traitor to the nation, do you think you can escape? Surrender now!"

Unexpectedly, Xu Wangsheng suddenly pulled Xu Jiajia into his arms and held a knife to her neck.

“Boss Xu, I know you’re very capable, but I only have this one life. If you let me go, I’ll agree to anything you ask. But if you really want to arrest me, I’ll kill your wife first.”

"Ah!"

Jiang Chuan sneered; this was simply a huge joke.

In fact, Xu Jiajia, as a former police officer, already had a way of dealing with this kind of situation.

"Old Xu, you'd better recognize the situation. Don't forget, I used to be an outstanding policeman. What do you think a knife can do to me?"

As she spoke, Xu Jiajia suddenly slapped the knife to the ground with her back hand, then used a back throw to subdue Xu Wangsheng and then used grappling techniques to immobilize him.

Xu Jiajia's series of actions surprised everyone present, indicating that the situation was far more complicated than they had imagined.

"All right!"

Xu Jiajia shouted, and the police officers immediately rushed over.

"Seize this man!"

Unexpectedly, Xu Wangsheng, a former powerful figure, was captured so easily.

The news quickly reached Mr. Xu's ears, and he was shocked, never expecting that the efficiency of domestic case handling was so high.

That evening, the couple returned home and told Mr. Xu everything that had happened.

"To be honest, you can go see your brother anytime you want. But what's more important now is to figure out what these terrorists are really after."

"Okay! Don't worry, I'll go see him after everything is cleared up."

In fact, the current situation is quite rare for everyone. However, in the interrogation room, Xu Wangsheng still confessed everything.

“My task was simple: to make connections. When I was at my lowest point, a Westerner approached me and said he would give me some money. At that time, I was destitute and had nowhere else to go.”

After leaving his father, Xu Wangsheng struggled to make a living. He tried setting up a stall, but was driven away; to survive, he even borrowed money from loan sharks and almost had his finger chopped off. Just then, a foreigner found him, promising to give him money to pay off his debts and help him make a comeback.

But the condition was that once he had money, he had to obey the foreigners' orders. In order to survive, he agreed.

Jiang Chuan then realized that Xu Wangsheng was also a pitiful person.

"So, you started engaging in criminal activities back then?"

"Not at the time."

As the police questioning deepened, Xu Wangsheng initially admitted that he had not participated in any criminal activities.

The foreigner kept telling him that he was just an angel investor and that he could do whatever he thought was right.

After a long period of contact, Xu Wangsheng gradually came to trust the foreigner, and their cooperation became increasingly close. It wasn't until Xu Wangsheng achieved great success, becoming deeply involved and forming a conglomerate, that the foreigner revealed his true colors. (End of Chapter)
