304. Chapter 304: The Crossroads (Part 1)

Chen Jiajun had his information officers dig up all the evidence of Rao Tiansong's money laundering, confirming that the breakthrough for this guy was his financial manager.

As long as that guy was handled, Chen Jiajun would barely need to do anything else himself; he could just wait and watch the show.

By then, the Police would certainly apply to the court to freeze all the assets of Rao Tiansong's company.

The arms dealers and drug traffickers behind him would surely be anxious and desperate, forcing him to pay up.

The funds he had transferred to Lu Hantao would become his last straw; once those funds were pulled, there would be no place for him in the Lu Guo Group.

Thinking of this, Chen Jiajun suddenly revealed a smile and said to Ya Qi, "Find someone later to take this information to the Commercial Crime Bureau. After that, you don't need to worry about anything else; just keep an eye on this guy and report to me."

Ya Qi said in disbelief, "Boss, are you sure it's that simple?"

"That's right, it's just that simple," Chen Jiajun nodded and said.

Ya Qi had no choice but to do as Chen Jiajun intended.

The next morning, a thick stack of documents was delivered to the entrance of the Commercial Crime Bureau.

The Police Constable in charge of mail curiously opened it to take a look, and his expression immediately turned joyful.

Ignoring the gazes of his colleagues, he rushed excitedly into his superior's office with the documents.

"You look all smiles, some good news?" The superior asked curiously upon seeing the Police Constable so happy.

The Police Constable looked left and right, confirmed no one was around, closed the office door, and then took out the information received that morning: "Boss, take a look at this."

"So mysterious," the superior said with a huff as he took the documents.

After reading for a moment, the relaxed expression on his face suddenly turned serious: "Where did you get this stuff?"

"This morning, it was just sitting on my desk," the Police Constable said in a low voice: "Boss, is this stuff useful?"

The superior said with a serious expression: "Whether it's useful or not, we still need to verify. If it's true, we've caught a big fish this time."

The Commercial Crime Bureau was not yet famous within the Police Force.

After all, it was not yet the most prosperous time of the nineties, though the signs were already beginning to show.

The information Chen Jiajun provided could be called extremely detailed, even including some hobbies and habits of Rao Tiansong's financial manager.

If this wasn't enough for them to act on, then their entire department could have been disbanded long ago.

"This is a big fish, and it is also the first time our Commercial Crime Bureau will show its strength. I hope everyone will not take this lightly and will keep their spirits up to the highest level."

The Inspector of the Commercial Crime Bureau said to his subordinates with a serious face.

If this case were solved, their Commercial Crime Bureau would no longer be a non-entity in the Police Force, but a pivotal department.

"Yes, sir."

Not only was the Inspector excited, but his subordinates were also very excited.

They were already fed up with dealing with those guys using counterfeit money and committing petty theft every day.

Now that there was a big case, they were naturally incomparably excited.

Soon, the people from the Commercial Crime Bureau found Rao Tiansong's financial manager, Hong Zhiwen.

It was just that because the Police's actions were too large, this guy felt the wind was blowing in the wrong direction and ran away directly to Singapore.

This move left the people from the Commercial Crime Bureau feeling both annoyed and somewhat excited.

What was annoying was that they had let this guy run away.

But the excitement was because of Hong Zhiwen's behavior.

If he had no problems, why would he suddenly run away at this time?

This gave the Inspector of the Commercial Crime Bureau great confidence.

So he went directly to find his Gweilo superior and reported the matter.

With the Gweilo's intervention, this matter was much easier to handle.

The Gweilo superior immediately contacted the International Criminal Police Organization, asked them to help contact the Singaporean Police to directly take Hong Zhiwen into custody, and then sent people to Singapore for a surprise interrogation.

In less than three days, there was a result in this matter.

That Hong Zhiwen was not a guy with a firm character; he was greedy for money, lustful, and afraid of death—he lacked none of these traits.

After being caught by the Police, he very straightforwardly admitted what he had done and turned all his focus toward his boss, Rao Tiansong.

He claimed he had been instructed by Rao Tiansong to act that way.

Even to avoid jail time, he was willing to turn state's evidence and bring his boss down.

Seeing both sides biting each other like dogs, the people from the Commercial Crime Bureau couldn't have been happier; they immediately sent a Police Constable to escort Hong Zhiwen back from Singapore and officially opened a case for investigation.

At the same time, to prevent Rao Tiansong from transferring assets, the people from the Commercial Crime Bureau even applied to the court for a Property Freezing Order, directly freezing all the assets of Rao Tiansong's company.

When Rao Tiansong received this news, he was completely overwhelmed.

The continuous stream of bad news meant he hadn't slept for several days.

Hong Zhiwen's matter was relatively easy to handle; he just needed to make sure he could never testify against him in court.

But the trouble lay in the Property Freezing Order applied for at the court.

So Rao Tiansong immediately found a top Lawyer in the industry, wanting to hear the other party's opinion.

Inside Rao Tiansong's office, the Lawyer had already arrived.

But he did not see Rao Tiansong in person immediately; instead, a bodyguard walked over and scanned him with a detector.

Rich people are very attentive to details; the Lawyer was already used to it and expressionlessly allowed the bodyguard to perform the check.

After the check was completed, the bodyguard said to the Lawyer: "Sorry, Lawyer Du, our Boss will be here shortly."

Du Housheng smiled and said: "No problem."

Soon, Rao Tiansong walked into the office in a hurry and said to Du Housheng: "Lawyer Du, I suppose you should know what I invited you here for, right? Tell me your thoughts."

Du Housheng nodded and said: "Since we still don't know if Hong Zhiwen has any key documents in his hands, I would like to stick to the idea from last time at the law firm: concentrate our fire on attacking Hong Zhiwen's credibility as a state's witness."

"Five years ago, he worked at the United States Federal Trade Commission, and at that time, the Securities and Exchange Commission strongly accused him of conspiring with clients, exaggerating performance, and falsifying accounts."

Rao Tiansong said with some exhaustion: "I just want to know, now that my accountant is testifying against me, is it impossible for me not to go to court? Also, even if nothing happens, will it take a year or half a year to resolve? When can my assets be unfrozen?"

Just as Du Housheng was about to speak, Rao Tiansong's bodyguard walked in and said to him: "Mr. Rao, a package has been delivered, it is an express item."

"Open it." Rao Tiansong nodded, his gaze somewhat inscrutable.

In fact, this pillow was a secret signal.

To prevent Hong Zhiwen from turning into a prosecution witness, Rao Tiansong directly hired a killer.

After the police escort this guy back from Singapore, they will finish him off halfway there.

And the pillow that was sent proves that the matter has been taken care of. (End of chapter)
