Chapter 487: Police Bureau? Lin Yuan's hometown

In the meeting room, Lu Chengyu was seen calling the police.

All the shareholders present did not stop him.

Because the evidence Lu Chengyu revealed was indeed seamless.

The shareholders couldn't decide right away, so they decided to let the police judge.

At this moment, Su Monong suddenly stood up.

She wore a black suit that gave her a formidable presence.

Su Monong said in a clear, cold voice, "Lin Yuan is a consultant I personally hired; I know his character well, he would never do such a thing."

"This transfer might be a misunderstanding; better give me three days—I'll have the Wind Control Department recheck it. There's no need to make a big fuss calling the police," Su Monong said coldly.

She wanted to protect Lin Yuan first.

As for this matter, she simply didn't believe Lin Yuan did it.

Therefore Lin Yuan must have been framed.

Su Monong wanted to investigate first.

But just as Su Monong finished speaking,

She was interrupted by several shareholders at once.

"Director Su, personal feelings cannot override company interests! I know Lin Yuan is from your faction, but this matter is serious and police must intervene," a shareholder wearing reading glasses said solemnly.

"Exactly! Five million is not a small sum; if Lin Yuan embezzles and flees, who will bear the loss?" another shareholder said.

"We must wait for police intervention to give all shareholders an explanation!"

The shareholders spoke one after another, attitude firm. They definitely wanted police involvement.

Even though Su Monong is the group's leader, she couldn't withstand the public anger.

She could only sit down temporarily.

But her fingertips tightly gripped the pen, her beautiful eyes fixed on Lin Yuan, full of worry.

Lin Yuan is being framed, but since the other party dared to frame him, they must have been fully prepared.

So Lin Yuan's current situation is probably very dangerous.

Not even ten minutes later, the meeting room door was pushed open.

A group of people in police uniforms walked in.

At the front of the police team was Mu Lingxue.

She wore a fitted police uniform, her hair tied in a high ponytail, her exquisite face showed no expression.

Mu Lingxue's gaze swept over the meeting room, finally landing on Lin Yuan.

The temperature of her beautiful eyes instantly dropped to freezing, as if looking at a stranger.

"Who is the reporter?" Mu Lingxue asked coldly.

"I, I reported it," Lu Chengyu hurried forward.

Lu Chengyu immediately pointed at Lin Yuan and shouted, "Officer, it's him! Lin Yuan, suspected of embezzlement, malicious crime! Please arrest him!"

At this moment, Mu Lingxue's gaze at Lin Yuan became even colder.

Seeing this, Lu Chengyu's heart blossomed with joy……

Even this beautiful policewoman…… treats Lin Yuan with such coldness; it seems Lin Yuan is truly done this time!

"Where is the evidence?" Mu Lingxue asked coldly.

Lu Chengyu immediately went up, with a face full of 'justice', handing over the prepared evidence bag.

Lu Chengyu earnestly said, "Beautiful policewoman, this is all the evidence of Lin Yuan's embezzlement and money laundering, including financial statements, original forged signature documents, and witness testimonies, all inside."

Mu Lingxue took the evidence bag, without even glancing at Lu Chengyu.

Mu Lingxue walked straight to Lin Yuan, her beautiful eyes fixed on him.

She said in an icy tone, "Lin Yuan, we have received a report suspecting you of embezzlement and money laundering; please come with us to the police station for investigation."

Lin Yuan looked at her cold side profile, his heart sank slightly.

He knew Mu Lingxue was carrying out her duties impartially.

But this woman, her deliberate aloofness at this moment…… still left Lin Yuan feeling uneasy.

Lin Yuan also did not resist, merely turned his head to look at Su Monong, lightly nodding to indicate "don't worry".

Afterwards, Lin Yuan cooperatively extended his hand, allowing the officers to put on handcuffs.

"Officer Mu, I am the whistleblower in this case; I request to go together to the police station to give a statement, so I can supplement relevant information anytime," Lu Chengyu hurriedly followed.

"You indeed need to go with us for a trip, to cooperate with the investigation," Mu Lingxue glanced at Lu Chengyu, said coldly.

Lu Chengyu eagerly followed up.

When Lu Chengyu reached the meeting room door, he deliberately turned back…… and gave Su Monong a provocative smile.

In Lu Chengyu's view, once Lin Yuan goes in, he will never have a chance to come out.

After the police took Lin Yuan away.

In the meeting room, Su Monong's beautiful eyes were solemn.

She immediately grabbed the phone on the table and sent a WeChat message to her subordinates: 【Immediately go investigate the background of Hangcheng Shengda Trading Co., Ltd., as well as Lu Chengyu's call records and cash flow over the past three months—don't waste a minute!】

After sending the message, Su Monong's beautiful eyes turned icy.

She obviously won't just watch Lin Yuan be wronged like this.

She wants to get to the bottom of this matter.

……

Along the way, the police car wailed.

Carrying Lin Yuan and Lu Chengyu back to the police station.

Inside the police car, Lu Chengyu moved to Lin Yuan's side the moment he got in.

Lu Chengyu's face was full of smug mockery: "Lin Yuan, Lin Yuan, you've had your day too? Weren't you acting all high and mighty at the company before? Now you're like a stray dog—embezzling five million plus money laundering is enough to lock you up for half your life!"

Lin Yuan ignored him, instead sitting in the chair, closing his eyes to rest.

Seeing Lin Yuan close his eyes and ignore him, Lu Chengyu spoke even more vehemently: "Director Su protecting you again—what does it matter? The evidence is solid; no one can save you! Just wait to pick up soap in there!"

Lu Chengyu's vulgar remarks came one after another, filling the entire cabin.

Lin Yuan kept leaning against the window, not lifting his eyes once.

Such clownish clamor, in his view… was merely a dying man's revelry, not worth wasting breath on.

"Quiet down!" Mu Lingxue finally couldn't hold back, she slammed the back of the front seat.

Her tone ice-cold as a blade: "This is a police car, not your playground! Enough already? If you keep talking nonsense, you'll be charged with obstructing official duties!"

Lu Chengyu shuddered in fright and hastily shut his mouth.

Lu Chengyu turned to look at Mu Lingxue, instantly putting on a fawning smile: "Officer Mu, don't be angry, I'm just a bit excited. Sorry, sorry."

Mu Lingxue didn't even lift her eyelids, coldly uttering two words: "Shut up, be quiet!"

Lu Chengyu found it boring and could only sheepishly close his mouth.

He sat back in his seat, yet he kept throwing provocative glances at Lin Yuan from time to time.

Meanwhile, in the police car, Lin Yuan leaned against the window, watching the street scenery fly backward outside.

Lin Yuan fell into thought.

Mu Lingxue sat in the front passenger seat, appearing to sort case files, but her peripheral vision… kept secretly observing Lin Yuan in the back.

Between them lay a silent distance, yet their glances unconsciously communicated with each other…

……

Ten minutes later, the police car entered the compound of the City Public Security Bureau.

Lin Yuan was the first to push open the car door and get out.

Without waiting for the police to guide him, an old criminal investigator walked up from ahead.

That old criminal investigator smiled, patted Lin Yuan's shoulder, and greeted: "Xiao Lin, coming to help us solve another case? What big case is this?"

"Yes, Consultant Lin, the martial arts you taught me last time came in handy yesterday when I apprehended a suspect!" Another young investigator also came over to greet, his eyes full of admiration.

Lin Yuan smiled and responded to each in turn.

He walked toward the office building with calm steps, that familiar demeanor truly like returning home.

Lu Chengyu trailing behind was completely bewildered??

Lu Chengyu stared wide-eyed, unable to believe it??

No, what's going on??

This Lin Yuan, entering the police bureau, how is it like walking into his own home?

How come so many police know him and even greet him??

Isn't Lin Yuan supposed to have been arrested as a criminal suspect?

Why are the criminal investigators treating him so politely?

Could it be that I'm mistaken?

Lu Chengyu's mind went blank, completely unable to react.

Lin Yuan and Lu Chengyu were brought into the interrogation area.

Soon, Criminal Investigation Team Captain Huo Gang quickly stepped forward to meet them.

Huo Gang saw the handcuffs on Lin Yuan's wrists and immediately furrowed his brow.

Huo Gang actually stepped forward himself and unlocked Lin Yuan's handcuffs.

Huo Gang barked at the officers behind him: "You're really messing around—why are you still putting this on Consultant Lin?"

Huo Gang then warmly patted Lin Yuan's arm: "Sorry for the inconvenience, Xiao Lin—we all know this is a misunderstanding."

Lu Chengyu stood rooted to the spot, seeing this, his whole body went stiff??

What the hell, what's going on??

The project team leader…… actually treating Lin Yuan with such respect?

Lu Chengyu was about to speak.

Mu Lingxue then turned, her gaze sharp as she fixed it on him.

"Lu Chengyu, are you sure Lin Yuan is suspected of embezzling company funds and laundering black money? All the evidence you provided—do you dare guarantee there's no fabrication or framing?" Mu Lingxue's face suddenly turned icy, she locked eyes on Lu Chengyu.

Hearing that, Lu Chengyu's heart gave a jolt??

Is this, suspicion aimed at me?

"I… I'm sure!" Lu Chengyu forced himself to stay calm, sticking out his neck: "The financial statements, electronic signatures, witness testimonies are all there—evidence solid, Lin Yuan can't wriggle out of it!"

"Good." Mu Lingxue snorted coldly, then raised her voice: "Someone, cuff him!"

Two officers stepped forward immediately; the icy handcuffs snapped shut on Lu Chengyu's wrists.

Lu Chengyu's whole self went blank??

Lu Chengyu, scared out of his wits, struggled and shouted: "Officer Mu, you've made a mistake! Why are you cuffing me? I'm the whistleblower—you should be arresting Lin Yuan!"

"Mistake?" Mu Lingxue slammed a document in front of him.

"We've long received a tip that someone intended to forge evidence to frame Consultant Lin. The Shengda Trading Company you provided—we've found it's a shell company of Qian Renhao, its legal representative being a missing person under your control! How do you explain that?"

Swish~

At that moment, Lu Chengyu's face turned deathly pale!

Mu Lingxue continued: "As for the financial statement you provided, the technical department just issued an appraisal report—the electronic signature is an imitation forgery, the transfer records were added using your authority. Plus we have a recording of you bribing a yellow-haired thug to give false testimony—do you want to hear it?"

Lu Chengyu looked at the appraisal conclusion on the document, his face instantly turned as pale as paper!

His legs went weak and he almost knelt on the ground.

Lu Chengyu never expected that the trap he had carefully designed had already been exposed by the police.

Lin Yuan slowly walked up to him, speaking calmly: "Lu Chengyu, you colluded with Qian Renhao, trying to frame me, am I correct?"

"I... I didn't..." Lu Chengyu still tried to argue.

Mu Lingxue already issued a cold order: "Take him away, interrogate him immediately! Make him confess in detail about his collusion with Qian Renhao and all his previous illegal activities!"
