Power and wealth bring fragrance

How did Liu Xiangrong get arrested?

Wei Yuan's mind raced, and he quickly turned on the TV sound.

The female anchor's voice immediately came through.

"Jinyu Group is under investigation for tax evasion, and its president, Liu Xiangrong, has been taken away for investigation by the tax investigation committee..."

Chu Lingyi and Lin Yun'e, who were getting up to leave, looked at the TV with a puzzled expression, then glanced at Wei Yuan, only to be surprised to find that Wei Yuan's face had turned extremely ugly.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Chu Lingyi asked a question, and Wei Yuan stared intently at Liu Xiangrong, who was being shoved into a car and taken away in a disheveled state on the television screen, his eyes growing colder.

It's almost a no-brainer that Liu Xiangrong's arrest was a setup.

The tax situation for jewelry groups, especially those specializing in jade, has always been a mess.

Putting everything else aside, just taking jade gambling as an example, there's simply no way to quantify how much tax should be collected.

Therefore, companies that can produce jade jewelry must have already resolved any tax issues before daring to do so.

You either have to pay your taxes honestly, or you have to seek powerful backers.

Wei Yuan was unaware of other jewelry groups, but at least according to his understanding, Jin Yu Group had always been paying taxes honestly and there was no possibility of tax evasion.

But now Liu Xiangrong has been arrested for this reason, which means someone must have set her up!

As for the mastermind behind it all, Wei Yuan only needed to think for a moment before he guessed it.

The cycle of karma is inescapable, and retribution is inevitable.

The more satisfying it was to rob the Bafu Group a few days ago, the more ferocious their retaliation will be now.

But there's no use talking nonsense now. The most urgent thing is to get Liu Xiangrong out of there.

Wei Yuan pointed at the television and asked a question.

"The person taken away is my friend. Do you have connections within the tax investigation committee?"

A seasoned old-timer and a top bank executive should have connections with tax investigation committees.

Chu Lingyi caught a glimpse of the beautiful Liu Xiangrong on the television, and her pupils narrowed slightly.

As a member of a long-established, wealthy family, one essential skill is recognizing people's faces.

Even if you don't know any of the prominent figures in Shenhai City, you should memorize them so that you don't not know who your opponent is in case of conflict.

Moreover, Jinyu Group is also very famous in the jewelry industry in Shenzhen, especially since it is run by women, just like Yunmeng Securities. Chu Lingyi naturally knows Liu Xiangrong.

Were Wei Yuan and Liu Xiangrong acquainted?

The thought flashed through Chu Lingyi's mind, but she didn't ask anything and simply replied.

"I'll make a few calls and ask."

Lin Yun'er also stated that she knows several mid-to-high-level members of the tax investigation committee and has started making phone calls to inquire about information.

A short while later, Chu Lingyi and Lin Yun'e hung up the phone almost simultaneously, their expressions somewhat serious.

Seeing this, Wei Yuan narrowed his eyes and took the initiative to speak.

"What's wrong? Is it difficult to handle?"

Chu Lingyi and Lin Yun'e exchanged a glance. Lin Yun'e then gestured for Chu Lingyi to speak.

Chu Lingyi didn't refuse and spoke directly.

"It's not going to be easy."

"I inquired through old connections and found out that the investigation launched against Jinyu Group was personally signed by the vice chairman of the tax committee."

"The chairman of the tax committee has been ill for a long time. All matters of the tax committee are basically handled by this vice chairman Zhao. He can be described as having absolute power, and his confidants are all above and below him."

"He personally ordered the investigation of the Jinyu Group, and no one in the tax committee dared to pull strings."

"There's also a rumor going around."

Chu Lingyi paused for a moment, then spoke softly.

"It is said that the investigation of Jinyu Group was personally reported by the ex-husband of Jinyu Group President Liu Xiangrong."

"He presented a huge amount of evidence directly to the vice chairman, and was immediately placed under investigation and arrested."

"They're moving so fast, there's no way they're not secretly having some kind of deal with that ex-husband and this Vice Chairman Zhao."

Liu Xiangrong's ex-husband?

Wei Yuan was momentarily dazed before digging out a greasy, middle-aged fat man with a sleazy face from the depths of his memory.

Zhao Xuan!

Is this bastard causing trouble?

Wei Yuan suddenly remembered that he had run into Zhao Xuan at Tang Hai's funeral hall before, and thought that it must have been around that time that Zhao Xuan got involved with the Tang family.

"I understand, thank you."

Wei Yuan nodded, thanked Chu Lingyi and Lin Yun'e, and said apologetically.

"I was planning to treat you two to a big meal, but it looks like I'll have to reschedule."

"Feel sorry."

Chu Lingyi and Lin Yun'e waved their hands repeatedly, indicating that they didn't need to be polite, and Wei Yuan didn't linger either.

"I need your help urgently, I have to go now."

"Please feel free to contact me by phone anytime regarding future collaborations."

Wei Yuan nodded simply and left.

Lin Yun'e felt a little regretful. She had also hoped to have a meal with Wei Yuan to get more information about the diet pills so that she could report in more detail to the bank's senior management.

Chu Lingyi stared thoughtfully at Wei Yuan's retreating figure. After briefly greeting Lin Yun'e, she turned and walked away while making a phone call.

"Xinrou, you seem to have a rival!"

Wei Yuan had no idea what the two people behind him were thinking. After leaving the Dingsheng Group, he took a taxi directly to the Tax Investigation Committee.

Looking at the scenery rushing past the window, Wei Yuan made another phone call to Chen Xing, the chairman of the Clean Business Development Committee.

The call was quickly connected, and Wei Yuan briefly described the situation. After a moment of silence, Chen Xing's somewhat embarrassed voice came through.

"The Tax Investigation Committee is Zhao's permanent territory."

"The leading figure they've promoted this generation is Zhao Gang, and the Zhao family and our Chen family have had some issues over the generations."

"If I go and say hello, it could very well backfire."

"How about I find a middleman to ask?"

"It's just a simple tax evasion case. I think it should be resolved by paying some money to plug the loopholes."

"What do you think, Master Wei?"

Chen Xing asked Wei Yuan, who nodded decisively.

"Okay, then I'll leave it to Chairman Chen."

It's just a matter of spending money; money is the last thing he needs right now.

"Wait for my news."

Chen Xing hung up the phone after speaking, and Dingsheng Group was not far from the office building where the Tax Commission was located, so they arrived quickly.

After getting out of the car, Wei Yuan didn't rush over. Instead, he waited downstairs for news from Chen Xing while smoking.

About ten minutes later, Chen Xing called back.

The moment he opened his mouth, Wei Yuan's heart sank slightly.

"Master Wei, things have gone wrong."

Chen Xing's voice contained both guilt and anger.

"Zhao Gang is acting strangely, he won't listen to reason or force, he won't release people even if you pay back the taxes."

"Furthermore, he has declared that no matter who pleads for him this time, it will be useless; he is determined to take down the Jinyu Group."

"I feel something is wrong. Zhao Gang has inherited the Zhao family's tradition of being tactful in dealing with people. Apart from our enemies, he never goes too far with others."

"There's definitely something fishy going on here!"
