Chapter 171: Lies just roll off the tongue!

A moment later.

Wang Zong rushed to Jiaju cheng.

Just as he got out of the car, Liu Lao Ban's driver pressed him to the ground.

"What the hell?!"

Wang Zong asked, craning his neck.

Jia Fengyuan watched from afar, roughly understanding seven or eight tenths of it.

Fortunately, he wasn't the primary responsible party.

Otherwise, it would be him being pressed to the ground right now.

Liu Lao Ban puffed on a cigarette, walked up to Wang Zong, and kicked him straight in the head.

"Damn, you still have the nerve to call out?"

"You've been playing me for a fool, feeling pretty smug, huh?"

"The boss of Shiqiang Mucai Chang terminated your contract a week ago!"

"Where exactly did you get your timber from?"

"Forget it, I can't be bothered to pursue this question!"

"Wait for Maozi to come, then you can explain properly to them!"

Upon hearing that,

Wang Zong immediately said nervously, "You've definitely been fooled by them; my timber came straight from Shiqiang Mucai Chang as a shipment!"

Liu Lao Ban sucked on his cigarette with a grim, cold expression, ignoring him.

At that moment, a police siren wailed.

Seeing the police car drive into the Jiaju cheng courtyard, Wang Zong panicked inside.

"Liu Lao Ban, let me go first—I can explain everything clearly!"

"Jia Fengyuan! What are you standing there stupidly for?"

"Come help me quickly!"

Wang Zong shouted at Jia Fengyuan a few times.

But Jia Fengyuan, with a complex expression, said: "I can't help you this time either; Liu Lao Ban is in international trade, and I still need to rely on his connections going forward!"

"You Jia Fengyuan!"

"My furniture has problems—do you think you can get away with it?"

"You're the owner of this furniture city!"

"I even said my furniture was ruined at your place!"

Wang Zong, desperate, leapt over the wall.

"You..."

"Lies just roll off the tongue!"

Jia Fengyuan was speechless.

Maozi had already gotten out of the car.

Liu Lao Ban stepped forward and exchanged a few words with him.

He explained the whole backstory.

Maozi walked up to the driver and waved his hand: "Get out of the way!"

The driver glanced at Liu Lao Ban's expression, then released Wang Zong's arm and stood up.

Wang Zong sprang up from the ground.

Pointing to the shoe print on his face, he told Maozi, "Officer, they pressed me to the ground and beat me—utterly lawless!"

"Do you have the law?"

"If you have the law, why do you do such wicked deeds?"

"Don't say another word—come with me to the station for interrogation!"

Maozi said with an icy gaze.

Just as Wang Zong tried to defend himself, Maozi grabbed his arm and shoved him into the police car.

"Officer, I'll follow your car!"

Liu Lao Ban handed Maozi a cigarette.

Maozi nodded, took the cigarette, and went back into the car.

Soon the car started and drove away from Jiaju cheng.

Jia Fengyuan asked with a fawning smile: "Liu Lao Ban, is there anything else I can help with?"

"Yes, get in the car and I'll tell you!"

Liu Lao Ban waved at him.

Once Jia Fengyuan crawled into the car, Liu Lao Ban shut the door.

Then the driver climbed in through the other door.

All that could be heard from inside was Jia Fengyuan's pig‑slaughter‑like howl.

It took only the time to smoke a cigarette.

He was then tossed out by the driver.

That guy was beaten up…

It was simply too horrible to behold!

Liu Lao Ban snorted coldly and said solemnly, "Even a beating wouldn't be enough to quell my hatred!"

Liu Boss, I really didn't know the furniture had a problem; if I had known, I wouldn't dare sell it to you even if you beat me to death!

Jia Fengyuan fell to the ground, groaning in pain.

You dare to put it up for sale without checking the furniture's quality!

What's the difference between that and that black-hearted thing?

You're still here shouting about injustice!

My mother is still lying in the hospital, unable to move!

Not breaking your waist is already good!

Liu Boss said, angry and puffed up.

Without waiting for Jia Fengyuan to explain, he got into the car with a cold face and told the driver to go to the police station.

Late at night.

The police station hall office area.

Liu Yanxi was reviewing the statements of this case when she suddenly noticed that the words "Shiqiang Mucai Chang" appeared in the statement.

She made a phone call to Li Jiaci.

Hey, I just got a case related to your lumber mill; the suspect's surname is Wang. Do you know him?

On the other end of the line, Li Jiaci laughed and said, "Of course I know him; this guy is full of lies, you need to carefully distinguish when you interrogate him later!"

Liu Yanxi quickly glanced at the statement and had a rough idea in her mind.

Okay, I got it!

Wait a moment, Liu Team; before interrogating him, I suggest you first go to his furniture factory to look for the shipping documents!

Thanks!

You're welcome!

She hung up the phone.

Liu Yanxi immediately had her colleagues go to Wang Zong's furniture factory.

After a lot of trouble.

Time arrived at early morning.

Liu Yanxi pushed open the door of the interrogation room and walked in.

Wang Zong was lowering his head; hearing the movement, he hastily lifted his head and asked, "Can I leave now?"

No.

I've said everything I need to say; I'm also a victim in this matter—you should go arrest the boss of Shiqiang Mucai Chang!

But that batch of problematic timber wasn't sourced from Shiqiang Mucai Chang!

Liu Yanxi calmly pulled out a chair.

She sat opposite Wang Zong, placing her hands folded on the table.

My colleagues have already obtained the inbound and outbound shipment records from your furniture factory!

I advise you to come clean!

As soon as she said that.

Wang Zong's face changed.

He felt guilty.

The inbound and outbound shipment records detailed the sources and quantities of the purchased timber.

He wanted to pass this black pot to Li Jiaci, but it seems that won't work.

Officer, I'm also a victim!

The timber I bought had problems; the responsibility lies with the lumber mill!

Liu Yanxi's eyes sank, and she spoke sternly: "If you had discovered the problem and dealt with it promptly, there wouldn't be so many troubles!"

Wang Zong was so angry he kept slamming the table.

Don't I want to handle it?

I damn well discovered the timber had a problem and immediately had the driver return it!

But they played tricks on me, saying that once sold, there are no returns or exchanges!

What can I do?

Liu Yanxi sprang to her feet.

With both hands on the tabletop, she slowly leaned forward.

So...

You knew the timber had a problem, yet you deliberately made it into furniture and sold it?

Wang Zong widened his two big eyes, panting nervously.

In just a few sentences, how did you let so much slip out?

He wished he could give himself a slap.

Liu Yanxi added: "This week, the return rate of your several furniture factories is as high as 75%; as the boss, how could you not know?"

I...

Wang Zong spoke with difficulty.

If you can't answer, then listen to me!

Now you have two options to choose from!

Either compensate the victims' losses, or go to court!

But I advise you to choose the first option, because even if you sue them, you would definitely not win!

In the end, we still have to lose money!

And the Market Supervision Bureau has already intervened in the investigation!

Whether your furniture factory can continue operating normally, you have to listen to them!

Liu Yanxi finished speaking.

Wang Zong's heart was already like dead ashes.
