Power and wealth bring fragrance

Upon hearing Chen Xing's words, Wei Yuan's brows were already tightly furrowed.

Even the Chen family's intervention was useless?

The Chen family is a local power in Shenhai City, having been established there for at least four generations. They are one of the true local elite families, and their network in Shenhai is as deep and unfathomable as a spider web.

Even Chen Xing couldn't handle it, so it seems the tax investigation committee is determined to take down the Jinyu Group this time.

But why?

Could it be that Zhao Gang is working so hard because Zhao Xuan has curried favor with Zhao Gang?

impossible things.

Despite both having the surname Zhao, Zhao Xuan's Zhao and Zhao Gang's Zhao are completely unrelated; it's purely a coincidence.

Moreover, Zhao Xuan was kicked out of the house by Liu Xiangrong with nothing, so he didn't have much money and couldn't possibly buy Zhao Gang's full support.

If you were to try to bribe someone of Zhao Gang's caliber, it would cost at least a billion. Even if you cut Zhao Xuan into pieces and sold him, you couldn't get that much money.

Even if Zhao Xuan were to bring in the Bafu Group, they wouldn't be able to offer such a high price.

The Bafu Group had just been thoroughly humiliated by Liu Xiangrong and Yue Qingsheng, leaving it severely weakened and unable to come up with the money.

It seems there's definitely something fishy going on here.

It sounds complicated, but it was actually just a fleeting thought in Wei Yuan's mind.

Wei Yuan didn't let Chen Xing continue to bail people out.

Since the other party has already said this much, it's definitely useless to try to get them out of trouble.

It's better to go and see for yourself what these guys are up to.

Wei Yuan briefly thanked Chen Xing, who seemed a little embarrassed.

He had told Wei Yuan how powerful the Chen family was, but now they couldn't even get a single person out of the mess, which made him lose face.

So Chen Xing got excited and promised Wei Yuan in a deep voice that he would continue to find people to help get people out of trouble, and would also help send a lawyer to help Wei Yuan see Liu Xiangrong who had been arrested.

Whether it's the police department or the tax investigation committee, a lawyer must be present to vouch for the person if they want to see them.

Wei Yuan thanked him, hung up the phone, and waited there, smoking a cigarette.

Chen Xing acted quickly, and a Mercedes pulled up next to Wei Yuan in just over twenty minutes.

A well-dressed middle-aged lawyer got out of the car carrying a briefcase and spoke apologetically to Wei Yuan.

"Mr. Wei, I apologize for keeping you waiting. Chairman Chen sent me here to assist you with all your actions."

Thank you.

Wei Yuan thanked him, and the two of them walked towards the main entrance of the Tax Investigation Committee building.

This lawyer is indeed an expert; he skillfully liaised with the tax investigation committee and applied for a meeting with the suspect.

After submitting the application, Wei Yuan and his lawyer waited in the meeting room.

Soon, footsteps approached from afar.

Wei Yuan's ears twitched, and his brows furrowed slightly.

Among the footsteps of the approaching people, there was no sound of Liu Xiangrong.

"Thump."

The door was suddenly pushed open, and a voice that instantly disgusted Wei Yuan rang out.

"Hey, look who's here?"

"I knew it. As soon as Liu Xiangrong got into trouble, your cheap lover would show up."

"I've finally caught you."

Wei Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, turned his head and saw a man swagger in, sit directly opposite Wei Yuan, and smile happily at him.

That greasy, round face—who else could it be but Zhao Xuan?

Zhao Xuan smiled smugly at Wei Yuan, his eyes filled with deep malice.

"What, you're surprised to see it's me, not Liu Xiangrong?"

Wei Yuan looked at Zhao Xuan's face with disgust, and suddenly felt a sense of annoyance.

Now, with his power and ability, Zhao Xuan, whom he once looked down upon, is nothing more than a bug that he can crush at will.

Wei Yuan was tired of this good-for-nothing constantly causing trouble for him, and immediately made up his mind.

Once this matter is resolved, he will definitely kill this bastard as soon as possible.

Wei Yuan ignored Zhao Xuan and looked coldly at the people from the Tax Investigation Committee who followed him in.

"He is not the person I want to see."

"Besides, as far as I know, he couldn't possibly be a member of the tax investigation committee."

"Is your tax committee some kind of public bus, where anyone can just walk in?"

Wei Yuan still couldn't suppress his anger and made a sarcastic remark.

The members of the tax investigation committee seemed not to hear Wei Yuan's sarcasm. They followed him in expressionlessly, closed the door, and then stood motionless at the doorway.

Zhao Xuan chuckled, his smile growing increasingly smug.

"They're not going to pay any attention to you."

"They're only here to make a show of things; they won't say another word."

"Instead of wasting your breath on them, why don't you think about how to beg me to release you and Liu Xiangrong?"

Zhao Xuan lit a cigarette and blew a puff of smoke heavily into Wei Yuan's face, his arrogance reaching its peak.

The middle-aged lawyer hadn't expected things to turn out this way. He was about to get up to protest when Wei Yuan stopped him.

Wei Yuan looked at Zhao Xuan expressionlessly.

"So arrogant, you think you've got us cornered this time?"

Zhao Xuan sneered.

"You think you can turn things around?"

"With the vice chairman of the tax investigation committee personally taking action, there's no way Liu Xiangrong will ever get out again."

"Besides, do you think this is only targeting Liu Xiangrong?"

"Innocent."

As Zhao Xuan spoke, he slammed a piece of paper onto the table, his chubby face contorted with excitement.

"Look what this is!"

"This time, it's not just Liu Xiangrong; you'd better go in too!"

Wei Yuan glanced at it.

As he expected, it was an arrest warrant for his personal tax evasion, and he was to be arrested as well.

It seems Zhao Xuan really went all out this time to kill him and Liu Xiangrong in one fell swoop!

But in doing so, the price he pays will certainly be even greater. What is it?

Wei Yuan was pondering how much Zhao Xuan would ask Zhao Gang for, but Zhao Xuan thought Wei Yuan was already scared out of his wits, and became even more arrogant and smug, directly sticking the cigarette butt hard into Wei Yuan's body.

"Hey kid, what are you standing there for?"

"If you want to live, you'd better kneel down and beg for mercy right now... Ah!"

Zhao Xuan was speaking when he suddenly let out a piercing scream.

Wei Yuan reacted swiftly, snatching the cigarette butt from Zhao Xuan's hand and shoving it hard into his fat face, instantly releasing the aroma of roasted meat.

Zhao Xuan jumped three feet high in pain, covering his face and howling like a gorilla.

Wei Yuan stared at him coldly and sneered.

"Someone like you dares to make me kneel down and beg for mercy?"

Zhao Xuan covered his face, glaring angrily at Wei Yuan, his voice trembling.

"Fine, fine, you dare to attack me in the Tax Investigation Committee's office? You've got guts!"

"What are you all standing there for? This arrest warrant is right here! Arrest this bastard who assaulted someone!"
