Chapter 1091: Trapped Like a Turtle in a Jar!

Chen Shunfei and Cheng Xin were escorted out of the office building.

Li Haizao watched the two enter the police car, then panicked and dialed Mao Yu's number.

"Something happened at Jinyu Tianxia."

Mao Yu was quite surprised—today was the big day for the Jinyu Tianxia handover, how could something go wrong?

"Chen Shunfei and Cheng Xin have both been taken away by the police! A group of people in uniforms rushed into the finance office and took away a lot of documents." The end of Li Haizao's voice was clearly trembling.

Mao Yu said coldly: "Why?"

"Some property owners were causing trouble! Cheng Xin arranged for some thugs to beat the owners and injure them!"

Mao Yu quickly calmed down.

"That's not right. If it were just that situation, the police would only take away the perpetrators; they wouldn't implicate Chen Shunfei. Don't panic yet, tell me immediately if there is any news."

……

County Public Security Bureau.

Even though his hands were already in handcuffs, Chen Shunfei was still trying to struggle and argue!

"Did you make a mistake? I am a businessman operating legally. Today is the handover day for Jinyu Tianxia; you are seriously interfering with the normal operations of an enterprise by doing this. I want to file a complaint against you!"

"Feel free to file a complaint if you want!" The lead police officer waved his hand dismissively.

Not long after, Zheng Shaokang walked in with a young man.

Chen Shunfei had dined with Zheng Shaokang a few times, and a cold sneer curled at the corner of his mouth:

"County Magistrate Zheng, what great authority you have. On what grounds are you arresting me?"

The young man beside Zheng Shaokang was none other than Tang Ye.

Zheng Shaokang signaled for Tang Ye to sit down, then tapped the table solemnly!

"Chen Shunfei, we have been watching you for a long time.

Today, during the Jinyu Tianxia project handover, some property owners raised issues regarding housing quality and refused to accept their units.

Immediately after, a group of thugs rushed out and beat the owners, resulting in over a dozen people being injured!

This is a vicious incident with a vile nature!"

Chen Shunfei clearly would not admit guilt easily and immediately retorted:

"First, those idlers have nothing to do with me. Although I am the chairman of the company, I am neither the legal representative nor responsible for daily management;

Second, Jinyu Tianxia passed the inspections by relevant government departments before the handover, and our procedures are complete and legal.

These people are deliberately creating conflict; they clearly have ulterior motives."

Zheng Shaokang took out a photo and slapped it on the table: "This person, do you dare say you don't know him? He is your company's security Captain."

The bald man in the photo had distinct features and was highly recognizable.

Chen Shunfei, however, shook his head: "I don't know him. If you want to ask, go ask Cheng Xin; he might know him. By the way, I want to notify my Lawyer. If you have any questions, I will only answer them once my Lawyer arrives!"

Seeing Chen Shunfei push all the responsibility onto the Manager Cheng Xin,

Zheng Shaokang felt a tightness in his chest, angered by his rogue behavior.

At this moment, Tang Ye spoke up.

"Chen Shunfei, you should know who I am, right?"

Chen Shunfei had long recognized him as the new Acting County Magistrate, but he feigned disdain: "I don't know you!"

Tang Ye smiled faintly:

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Tang Ye, and I am the Acting County Magistrate of Yechuan County.

Do you know why the County Public Security Bureau responded so quickly today? Because we have been watching you for a long time.

A few days ago, this bald security guard severely injured a high school teacher on the road, which immediately drew our attention. The reason we didn't act immediately was to let you lower your guard.

Sure enough, just as we expected, he thought it was over, so he returned to Yechuan County and participated in this violent assault on the property owners!"

Chen Shunfei desperately tried to control the expression on his face, his heart shaken!

He never imagined that he would end up a turtle in a jar!

"I really don't know him! You must have made a mistake!"

Chen Shunfei's tone had clearly weakened, losing the aggression he had just moments ago.

Tang Ye pressed on:

"Although Cheng Xin is the Manager and legal representative of Shunteng Company, you are the actual person in control of the company.

Without your authorization, would he dare to take it upon himself to mobilize thugs to beat the property owners?"

Chen Shunfei feigned composure: "It has nothing to do with me; you are using this opportunity to retaliate against me! I want to wait for my Lawyer."

Just then, Zheng Shaokang's phone rang.

The caller ID showed Mao Yu.

"County Magistrate Zheng, there is something I want to ask you about. Chen Shunfei was taken away by the police for investigation; what exactly is going on?" Mao Yu's voice carried a hint of imperceptible urgency.

"County Magistrate Mao, I was just about to report this to you.

At the Jinyu Tianxia project handover site, a gang-related incident of picking quarrels and provoking trouble occurred, and the relevant suspects have been arrested by the police in accordance with the law.

I heard that you and the project developer's chairman, Chen Shunfei, are quite close, so I wanted to verify something with you.

Have you heard anything about Shunteng Development Company being involved with organized crime?"

Seeing that Zheng Shaokang's tone was off, Mao Yu suppressed the anger in his heart.

"Chen Shunfei and I are just acquaintances; we aren't that familiar.

Chen Shunfei is a County People's Congress Representative and was named an outstanding private entrepreneur in Xiyang City last year. Will taking compulsory measures against him so suddenly cause controversy?"

Zheng Shaokang keenly sensed that Mao Yu was feeling guilty and said in a deep voice: "County Magistrate Mao, a few months ago, a safety accident occurred at the Jinyu Tianxia project, causing deaths and injuries to workers. Regarding the compensation for the injured workers, Shunteng Development Company has consistently adopted a strategy of delay and evasion. County Magistrate Tang has mentioned this to you several times before."

Mao Yu looked slightly surprised: "Wasn't this matter resolved?"

Zheng Shaokang let out a cold sneer:

"This is how Chen Shunfei handled it!

The teacher who helped the migrant workers defend their rights had his ribs broken by them, and his head also suffered severe trauma; he only managed to keep his life after emergency rescue.

Besides that, Chen Shunfei also found the Education Bureau to apply pressure, demanding the dismissal of this righteous teacher."

"I really only know Chen Shunfei. If he truly has broken the law, he must certainly be dealt with strictly according to the law; there must be absolutely no leniency."

Mao Yu hurriedly distanced himself.

He had not known the specific details of how Chen Shunfei handled this matter before.

At this moment, after hearing Zheng Shaokang's words, a sense of ominous foreboding suddenly rose in his heart—Chen Shunfei was likely in real trouble this time.

Zheng Shaokang hung up the phone and looked at Chen Shunfei with a calm gaze.

Zheng Shaokang had intentionally let him hear the conversation between the two.

Although it did not conform to interrogation regulations, sometimes interrogation requires technique.

Chen Shunfei's face instantly turned as pale as paper!

Mao Yu was likely going to abandon him!

……

A police officer walked quickly to Zheng Shaokang's side, leaned over, and whispered a few words in his ear.

Zheng Shaokang nodded slightly: "I understand."

After speaking, he gave Tang Ye a look: "County Magistrate Tang, let's go outside to talk."

Tang Ye followed Zheng Shaokang out of the Interrogation Room.

Zheng Shaokang lowered his voice and said: "Just now, while searching Chen Shunfei's office, we found a roll of used film in the safe."

Tang Ye had made a request to Zheng Shaokang to keep an eye out for film during the search!

Sure enough, his premonition was not wrong!

Tang Ye's spirits were instantly lifted: "You immediately arrange for someone to have the film developed!"

The film must contain the code to unlock the cause of Zhou Songtao's death!
