Chapter 1402: You Can't Muddle Through!

Everyone else left.

Only two people remained in the room.

Boss Xu wore a look of panic and said nervously, "Director Yu, I just received news that the warehouse where we store our medicine has been sealed off."

Yu Jian'an put down the playing cards in his hand and said with displeasure, "How could you be so careless?"

Boss Xu gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "They are conducting a strict investigation into the chaos of price gouging over in Yechuan, and as a result, they followed the trail and found our warehouse!"

Yu Jian'an said with displeasure, "According to the industrial and commercial management regulations, price gouging is at most just a fine; it's not a big deal, is it?"

Boss Xu's gaze darted away, "That batch of medicine is problematic! It's not exactly legitimate!"

Yu Jian'an widened his eyes and said angrily, "Are you crazy? You actually dared to sell fake medicine. Do you know what a serious charge this is? This matter has nothing to do with me; you caused this disaster yourself, so solve it yourself!"

Boss Xu wore a mournful face and pleaded bitterly, "Director Yu, why don't you think of a way? After all, you also have shares in this project!"

Yu Jian'an glared at Boss Xu in annoyance and mocked, "I have told you many times: do things step by step, keep your feet on the ground, and don't let yourself get muddled by petty gains! I have shares? Do you have any proof?"

Boss Xu was terrified and turned pale with fright, "Director Yu, if you don't save me, I don't know if I can keep my mouth shut!"

Yu Jian'an was startled and said angrily, "What, are you trying to threaten me?"

Boss Xu lowered his head, "Director Yu, I didn't mean to threaten you. I know you have great connections, and I can only beg you to help me now."

Yu Jian'an knew that Boss Xu was not someone to be trifled with, so he appeased him, "Things haven't reached the point of no return yet, so don't be so agitated. I will think of a way right now. Remember, if I am dragged down by you, you will never have a chance to turn things around again."

Boss Xu smiled ingratiatingly, "I knew you were loyal and would never stand by and do nothing. Don't worry, even if they investigate me, I won't betray you."

Yu Jian'an dialed a familiar friend in the police force.

"Captain Zhu, there is a matter I would like to ask for your help with. Once it is done, there will definitely be a generous reward."

"What is it?" Captain Zhu had eaten with Yu Jian'an several times and had also asked Yu Jian'an to arrange jobs for his relatives.

"A friend of mine had his warehouse sealed off."

Captain Zhu reacted immediately, "It wouldn't be the Huailing Pharmaceutical warehouse in the east of the city, would it?"

"Yes!"

Before Yu Jian'an could finish speaking.

Captain Zhu interrupted, "This matter cannot be handled. This is a task assigned by the Municipal Party Secretary. Whoever dares to slack off at a time like this will lose their rice bowl. Director Zheng is holding the imperial sword of the Municipal Party Secretary; no one's intercession will work!"

Yu Jian'an hung up on Captain Zhu.

Yu Jian'an cursed indignantly, "A bunch of cowards who don't dare to take responsibility."

Immediately, he steadied Boss Xu, "You don't need to worry too much. If they ask you, just shift the responsibility to Chen Shen. Just say you were only a shareholder and that the matter of selling fake medicine has nothing to do with you."

Boss Xu gritted his teeth, "Fine, I know what to do now."

Yu Jian'an had no interest in playing cards, "That's all for today, everyone disperse."

Boss Xu had just arrived home and hadn't even had time to change his shoes.

The doorbell rang.

He walked over to open the door.

The police took out an arrest warrant, "We are police from the Xiyang City Public Security Bureau, and this is an arrest warrant. We suspect you are involved in a case; please come with us."

Boss Xu had already had a premonition, so he had no choice but to hold out his hands voluntarily.

The police put handcuffs on him, led him out the door, and pushed him into the police car.

……

Boss Xu sat in the Interrogation Room, feeling his whole body trembling.

He tried to tell himself not to feel guilty.

Zheng Shaokang walked into the Interrogation Room, sized up his expression, and spoke slowly: "Do you know what crime you have committed?"

Boss Xu shook his head, "I am a law-abiding businessman. If there is anything I need to cooperate with, I will certainly cooperate actively. But I really don't know what mistake I have made."

Zheng Shaokang picked up a file and slammed it heavily onto the table, "You have a stiff mouth! Then let me remind you: there were large quantities of counterfeit and inferior medicine stored in the east city warehouse. Does that really have nothing to do with you?"

Boss Xu said in surprise, "Chen Shen lobbied me a few days ago, saying there was a big business opportunity, so I bought some shares. I really didn't know that this business was actually selling fake medicine! If I had known, I absolutely would not have done it!"

Zheng Shaokang thought to himself that Boss Xu was quite cunning, and a look of disgust appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Boss Xu, you really know how to act! You didn't know what the business was, yet you dared to invest twenty million?!"

Boss Xu shrugged, "I follow one principle in business: look at the person to invest in the project. I felt this person was capable, so I was willing to invest money in his project. I admit that this time I misjudged and invested in the wrong person. I am willing to bear the consequences of this failed investment. However, I really did not participate in this project."

Zheng Shaokang sneered and remained silent for a long time.

Boss Xu felt a chill down his back from being watched by him.

Zheng Shaokang's eyes suddenly became sharp, like a drawn sword carrying a murderous aura!

"Boss Xu, you don't know that the City Bureau actually established a working group long ago and has been collecting evidence of your illegal activities. Even if this price gouging and fake medicine case hadn't happened, we would still have arrested you."

Boss Xu tried his best to appear calm, "You don't need to scare me; if you have evidence, bring it out."

Zheng Shaokang said in a low voice, "You have a company under your name whose main business is contracting flood control projects for the Water Affairs Bureau.

In the past few days, Xiyang City has suffered from flood disasters, and those water conservancy projects are like tofu dregs; they simply cannot withstand the test;

Furthermore, the flood control base materials you provided after winning the bid also have quality problems."

Boss Xu cried out that he was wronged, "Director Zheng, the flood in Xiyang this time is a natural disaster that only happens once in a century. Isn't it too much to push the responsibility for the disaster onto me!"

Zheng Shaokang slapped the table angrily, "Xiyang suffered disasters in many places due to the flood; on the surface, it looks like a natural disaster, but in reality, it is because the embankment projects have serious quality problems. I advise you to confess the truth honestly. The city has already collected a lot of evidence; don't harbor any wishful thinking!"

At this moment, Boss Xu's heart was surging with waves.

He had originally thought that his arrest was related to the sale of fake medicine!

He hadn't expected that it would also involve his company's main project!

Zheng Shaokang took out several photos, "This sandbag can be punctured with a finger; it is completely unable to resist the flood. In the process of flood fighting, it caused extremely severe consequences! You Xu, don't even think about trying to muddle through!"

He paused and asked in a low voice, "Also, what is your relationship with Yu Jian'an?"

Boss Xu's heart skipped a beat, and he lowered his head silently, "I am not familiar with him!"

Zheng Shaokang said in a low voice, "You are lying! Just a few hours ago, you were still playing cards with him!"

Boss Xu was dumbfounded at this moment!

Only then did he suddenly realize,

that every move he had made recently was under the close surveillance of the police...
