Chapter 517: He's So Poor He Only Has Money

The marketplace is like a battlefield... Yu Dazhang could understand his concerns.

Besides, the request wasn't excessive, so he simply agreed:

"I know a coffee shop. I'll send you the address later, and we'll meet there."

He and Seeing Qu Tuotuo had been to that coffee shop twice; the environment was elegant and quiet, very suitable for conversation.

After that, he waited a while longer until two supporting team members arrived in a hurry.

Yu Dazhang briefly introduced the current situation to them, then said to one of the team members:

"This is the last phone number Sha Hui contacted. Find out the identity information of the number holder as soon as possible."

The other team member entered the interrogation room to interrogate Sha Hui together with Lu Zhongxin.

Yu Dazhang had specifically left his master here.

If it were someone else, he really wouldn't have felt at ease.

You have to know that facing pressure from superiors, not everyone can hold out.

Fifteen minutes later.

Yu Dazhang drove to the coffee shop and met Jiang Qi in a private room.

"Hello, Officer."

"Hello."

After exchanging greetings, the two sat opposite each other.

Yu Dazhang even took a special look at the shoes the other person was wearing today.

He was truly curious what kind of sneakers were worth a girl borrowing online loans to buy.

But to his disappointment, Jiang Qi was wearing just a pair of ordinary canvas shoes today.

Well, they only looked ordinary to his eyes; the actual price was certainly not cheap.

"There was no need to open a private room; we aren't discussing any sensitive topics."

Yu Dazhang felt a bit bad about the money; when he and Seeing Qu Tuotuo came before, they always sat at the booths outside.

"When I came in just now, I happened to get a membership card."

Jiang Qi said indifferently:

"This private room was a gift with the membership; there's no extra charge."

With one sentence, he settled today's bill, making Yu Dazhang, who had originally planned to pay, unable to say anything more.

Actually, Yu Dazhang knew clearly in his heart that the Jiang Qi before him still had reservations.

He guessed his family's business wasn't entirely on the straight and narrow; otherwise, why be so averse to the police?

"What business does your family do?" Yu Dazhang asked.

The more he felt he shouldn't ask, the more he had to ask; police don't care about human feelings and social conventions during investigations.

"What does this have to do with Wang Lingling's matter?"

Jiang Qi frowned, obviously not wanting to answer this question.

"I'm asking you face-to-face out of politeness," Yu Dazhang said with a stern face:

"If we really wanted to investigate you, do you think you could hide it?"

He wasn't saying this to scare Jiang Qi.

Anyone with a little common sense knows that in the country, if a criminal investigator wants to check someone's background, there are plenty of methods; there's absolutely no need for any special means.

Jiang Qi was silent for a while, and finally told the truth:

"My family was in the mining business early on. Later, for some reasons, we withdrew from mine operations. Afterwards, through certain specific channels and connections, we invested in Macau's gambling halls."

These two businesses aren't things ordinary people can do... Yu Dazhang somewhat understood why he didn't want to say more.

The more people make sudden wealth, the more low-key they are.

Presumably, they have also suffered losses.

In the so-called upper class, it is generally believed that those who started with mining are just nouveau riche; no matter how much money you have, they look down on you.

As for those who make money through gambling, they avoid them even more.

Knowing Jiang Qi's family background, Yu Dazhang understood why he was willing to spend money on Wang Lingling.

The money came too easily.

It's like if he doesn't spend five hundred a day, he feels uncomfortable all over.

"Do you know Wang Lingling's roommate has feelings for you?" Yu Dazhang asked.

He didn't mention Sha Hui directly; asking this way was to leave room for an answer and to better judge whether the other party was lying.

"I know."

Jiang Qi showed a disdainful smile and blurted out without thinking:

"You mean Sha Hui, right? I've seen too many people like her; my father is surrounded by women like that."
