Chapter 138: Miss Xin Chanxi Is Angry

Xin Chanxi mentioned that Lian Zhanhuai confessed to smuggling large sums of money out of the country through an underground money house, and several properties within the country are currently being sold.

Xin Yuansheng ordered Lian Zhanhuai to return the money within half a month, as Yuansheng Group has offshore companies in the Cayman Islands.

Spit out everything you've taken, or I'll send you to jail for occupational embezzlement.

Lian Zhanhuai abused his position to embezzle commission payments from Yuansheng Group; under the 2004 laws and judicial interpretations, this constitutes occupational embezzlement, and due to the massive amount involved, he may face more than five years of fixed-term imprisonment.

After listening, Wang Chuan thought: this occupational embezzlement is a public prosecution case, not a private prosecution case.

Unlike insult crime or defamation crime, where the victim must actively file a complaint—without which judicial authorities won't accept it; though exceptions exist when the crime severely harms social order or national interests, in which case it becomes a public prosecution case.

The investigative authority for this crime lies with the Public Security Organ or the Procuratorate, the review and prosecution authority lies with the Procuratorate, and final judgment rests with the Court.

Even if the company does not file a report, judicial authorities may still initiate a case upon discovering criminal leads, exercising their official authority.

Moreover, once Yuansheng Group recovers the money, if Xin Yuansheng chooses to report it to the police, Lian Zhanhuai has no recourse.

Xin Yuansheng did not report it but gave him half a month for two possible reasons: one, he feared Lian Zhanhuai would spread rumors about Yuansheng Group's financial shortages, and within half a month the financial situation might improve;

the other, so much money had been siphoned out, and if Lian Zhanhuai stubbornly refused to return it, there was no particularly effective way to recover it.

Wang Chuan's thoughts were interrupted by another piece of news from Xin Chanxi: Lian Zhanhuai's betting location was No. 8 Machou Road in Dongxin District, Mingzhou City.

The other three districts had already been checked by Cao Te for Wang Chuan, and there was no trace of Shen Xiaobing.

After the afternoon break, at five o'clock, Wang Chuan took Li Wei to the Northwest Noodle Shop outside the Hospital and treated him to a large bowl of sauced noodles and two meat dumplings.

"Speak up, what's this about? I've already eaten. A mouth full of food means you're obligated."

Li Wei finished the last meat dumpling and wiped his mouth.

Wang Chuan asked Li Wei if he was willing to accompany him to check out what No. 8 was and find out whether Shen Xiaobing had been there.

"Wang Chuan, no problem at all! Doctor Shen gave me my department clearance certificate—any other doctor wouldn't be as easygoing as her."

Li Wei patted his chest, "You did the legwork to get the info. I'll pay for the taxi fare back and forth."

As the taxi entered Dongxin District, suddenly, an unknown number called in.

"Manager Wang, do you remember me?"

"Xiao Sha? The European Cup final hasn't even started yet?!" Wang Chuan looked astonished.

"Manager Wang, I want to ask—have you found out which road No. 8 is on?"

Wang Chuan prepared to hang up, "It has nothing to do with you. You gave us the tip, we paid you. We're even."

"Oh, so you've found the exact location of No. 8 and placed a bet on the football match? Give me ten thousand, and I'll keep your secret!"

Xiao Sha let out a cold laugh: "You don't want the Xin Family's eldest daughter to find out you're a gambling addict, do you?"

Wang Chuan laughed out loud: "Ten thousand isn't enough—I'm tied to the Xin Family's eldest daughter. How about I pay you ten thousand every month as your fixed salary?"

On the other end of the phone came Xiao Sha's excited breathing.

Wang Chuan continued, "Dream on! Go ahead and report me to Miss Xin right now!"

The excited breathing on the other end cut off abruptly, replaced by Xiao Sha's roar: "Manager Wang, don't cry later—I'm at the company, I'm going to see Miss Xin right now, you've got ten minutes to think it over!"

Wang Chuan hung up immediately. "Driver, head straight to Yuansheng Group!"

Beside him, Li Wei cursed: "What the hell kind of person is this?!"

On the first floor of Yuansheng Group, Xin Chanxi had just finished packing and stepped out of the elevator.

Xiao Sha checked the time on his phone, paced back and forth, holding a recording phone as if clutching a treasure pot.

"Wang Chuan, you bastard, I don't believe you'd dare refuse me!"

"I'll give you one more minute—once Miss Xin walks out of the lobby, if you still haven't shown up, don't blame me for ruining your path to fortune!"

Xiao Sha gritted his teeth, wrestling with his thoughts.

"Xiao Xi!" A familiar voice called out.

Xiao Sha saw Wang Chuan and a young man walking in—"You little brat, you came willingly after all!"

Wang Chuan passed Xiao Sha, who slightly extended his hand to block him.

But Wang Chuan gave him a cold glance, snorted, and walked straight ahead.

A clear, delighted voice rang out: "Brother Wang Chuan, what are you doing here? Come to take me to dinner?"

Xin Chanxi hurried toward Wang Chuan, her youthful energy flowing with every step.

She wore a high-quality white silk blouse paired with a black high-waisted short skirt.

The top two buttons of the blouse were loosely undone, forming an elegant V-neck that revealed her slender collarbones and a smooth, delicate expanse of skin.

The blouse clung tightly to the full curves of her upper body.

As she moved her snow-white legs, the blouse produced a subtle, alluring tremble, accentuating her ample contours.

The high-waisted skirt perfectly hugged her sharply narrowed waistline, snugly wrapping her rounded, uplifted hips.

"I came here because I need your help!" Wang Chuan pulled Xin Chanxi close and leaned down to whisper in her ear.

After a moment, Xin Chanxi looked up, frowning at Xiao Sha the Security Guard.

At that moment, Xiao Sha the Security Guard also hurried over: "Miss Xin, I have proof that this guy, Wang Chuan, is a gambler! He's a gambling addict! Don't let him fool you!"

"Stop right there!" Xin Chanxi snapped, as if using a Stasis Technique—Xiao Sha the Security Guard froze in place!

Pata, Xin Chanxi opened her phone, her voice tinged with anger: "Captain Zhou Zhengbiao, come to the lobby right now and take Xiao Sha the Security Guard away. Yes, the company is firing him. Tomorrow, you go to the Financial Department and settle his salary."

Instantly, Xiao Sha the Security Guard stood stunned, bewildered why he was being fired: "Miss Xin, this guy really is a gambler! Don't be fooled by him! I have the recording!"

He had originally hoped to extort money from Wang Chuan, then win Miss Xin's favor and ascend to the peak of life!

Although he wasn't as handsome as Wang Chuan and dropped out of junior high, he believed himself clever!

"You bastard, you dare to upset Miss Xin? I'll kill you~~" Captain Zhou Zhengbiao, a burly man, rushed into the lobby.

He reached out a massive hand, grabbed one of Xiao Sha's arms, wrapped it around his waist, and dragged him toward the basement entrance on the side of the lobby.

Xiao Sha the Security Guard screamed: "I won't accept this! I want to see the Chairman! Miss Xin has been bewitched by this kid!"

Wang Chuan turned his head and snorted, "Xiao Sha the Security Guard, before you slander me, make sure you've got your DD right, okay?!"

"What's a DD?" Xiao Sha's face showed reluctance, then flashed with bewilderment.

Wang Chuan held Xin Chanxi's small hand and strode toward the door.

Xin Chanxi, barefoot in nude strappy high-heeled sandals, stepped on the floor, emitting a click-clack sound.

Like an invisible slap, smack-smack-smack, it struck Security Guard Xiao Sha across the face.

"I refuse! Screw you, Wang Chuan~~~"

This was the last howl full of confusion and impotent rage that Wang Chuan heard before Security Guard Xiao Sha vanished at the basement entrance.
