Chapter 829: A Consensus of Mutual Benefit

"Who... is the person in this photo?"

"Who is who? What are you looking at? Take the contract and transaction data, and let's go back!"

Sun Laoliu only looked at the envelope for a few seconds before quickly stuffing the photos back in and taking everyone away from the financial company to return to the hotel.

Sun Laoliu was very regretful now, regretting why he had opened the small envelope in his hand at the scene, causing such fragrant photos to be exposed on the spot.

Thinking of the way several people stood on tiptoe and craned their necks with glowing eyes just now, he knew how difficult it would be to "cover up" this matter.

If this spread everywhere after returning, Sun Laoliu, the handler, would be stained with trouble, and the higher-ups would definitely doubt his personal ability.

【Can't even handle such a small matter; how can you shoulder a great responsibility?】

Of course, Sun Laoliu thought the one who regretted the most at this moment wasn't him, but Gu Jianqi.

Gu Jianqi should understand now what it means to die under a peony flower and be a romantic ghost, because after being romantic, he really wants to die!

But after everyone got into the car, Gu Jianqi said with a gloomy face: "This is a trap, a trap aimed at our red country by the evil capital. They just want to use such despicable means to black out Guo Huai's money."

【You think this is a honey trap?】

Everyone in the car rolled their eyes. If you didn't give the money to others, they couldn't black it out even if they wanted to! Besides, if they wanted to black out Guo Huai's money, why were you in the photos too?

Sun Laoliu glanced at Gu Jianqi and said coldly: "Don't talk anymore. Let's have a meeting after we get back."

Gu Jianqi looked at Sun Laoliu, knowing he was telling him to shut up, so he closed his eyes to rest his mind.

Li Ye couldn't help but secretly admire that people who have experienced great storms and waves have a good mentality. If he had been socially dead on the spot like that just now, he would definitely not be so calm.

However, when everyone returned to the hotel, Gu Jianqi finally couldn't be calm anymore.

Because the Japanese police sent the latest case information.

"We questioned everyone who appeared on the rooftop on the day of the incident, and no one saw the deceased Guo Huai..."

"In addition, we found fiber tissue that fell off the deceased's clothing on the windowsill of the bathroom on the 27th floor."

"So we believe the deceased fell from the bathroom window on the 27th floor, which is inconsistent with the situation described by Gu Jianqi..."

"..."

Gu Jianqi was stunned for a long time before muttering: "I saw someone falling, so I went to the rooftop. At that time, I couldn't see Guo Huai anymore, so I thought he fell accidentally from the rooftop."

The police's eyes flashed: "Accidental fall? Mr. Gu, are you sure the deceased was accidental and not intentional?"

Gu Jianqi hurriedly said: "I'm not sure; I didn't see it at the time."

The Japanese police said meaningfully: "Okay, we will continue to investigate, and we also hope that you will communicate with the Mitsubishi side as soon as possible to close the case as soon as possible."

The Japanese police left very quickly, making people feel very irresponsible, but actually, everyone vaguely understood that they didn't want to step into this muddy water.

Both sides were friendly at this moment. It was best to turn big things into small things for this kind of broken matter. You discuss among yourselves how to say it, and we will close the case low-key as soon as possible.

After the Japanese police left, Sun Laoliu asked several backbone members to go to 501 for a meeting, while the rest returned to their rooms and were not allowed to walk around at will.

The content of the meeting mainly revolved around two points: first, why Secretary Guo fell to his death, and second, discussing whether the loss of 2.8 million could be recovered.

Guo Donglun looked at Li Ye and said: "According to Deputy Factory Director Li's explanation, if Guo Huai fell accidentally at the Mitsubishi Company, then the Mitsubishi Company has responsibility. We might..."

"Old Guo, stop it!"

Ma Zhao directly interrupted Guo Donglun and said sternly: "Why did they come to tell us today that Guo Huai fell from the 27th-floor toilet? Don't you know how high the toilet window is?

Don't just know how to shirk responsibility when problems arise. Who invited Gu Jianqi and Guo Huai to the inspection team in the first place? Did they come to Japan to inspect, or to be romantic and get rich?"

"Since coming to Japan, I haven't seen you do much proper work, but you've made a big deal out of shameful things. Now you actually want Mitsubishi to bear the responsibility? Aren't you ashamed of yourself?"

"You..."

Guo Donglun's face turned into a pig's liver color. He didn't expect Ma Zhao to give him no face at all in front of Sun Laoliu, Old Sun, and others, letting outsiders see a joke.

"Alright, everyone don't argue."

Sun Laoliu waved his hand to stop Guo Donglun and Ma Zhao, then said: "This matter still needs to be communicated with the Mitsubishi side. The project introduction is very important, and the external impact... is equally important."

Li Ye looked at Sun Laoliu, not knowing what kind of consensus of mutual benefit he could think of.

Saying it was an accidental fall, Mitsubishi definitely wouldn't be willing. Saying it was seeking death after losing money, the impact on their side and the Japanese side wouldn't be good.

In a civilized and developed country, how can someone jump off a building for fun every few days?

"Now let's discuss the second question: was Guo Huai's 2.8 million cheated?"

Sun Laoliu looked at Li Ye: "Comrade Li Ye, you are more skilled in economic matters, and you also have friends in Japan. Why don't you find some connections to consult and see if we can sue the other party for fraud through the court and recover our losses?"

Li Ye shook his head slowly: "I really am not skilled in this, and Japanese commercial law is very complicated. You'd better find a professional commercial lawyer!"

Damn it, this isn't in the country. You say fraud is fraud?

Don't ask me; I'm not skilled in anything. If I'm skilled, I have to do the work, and if I do the work, I have to bear the responsibility.

Seeing that Li Ye didn't take the bait, Sun Laoliu had no choice, because Old Sun and Sister Zhang were clearly biased toward Li Ye. According to Sun Laoliu's many years of experience, this Li Ye was clearly not simple.

Then he could only discuss it repeatedly with others. In the end, although a consensus of mutual benefit was not reached, Li Ye vaguely felt that Guo Huai would likely be "sick to death."

As for how a person who fell to a bloody mess could be sick to death, this required friendly consultation between both sides and also needed approval from the higher-ups.

As for the 2.8 million, it also needed the higher-ups to invite professionals to study the contract and transaction records signed by Guo Huai, and recover as much as they could.

"Then that's it. We will report to the higher-ups as soon as possible, and the foreign trade side will also try their best to communicate with Mitsubishi..."

"Knock, knock, knock~"

Sun Laoliu had just prepared to announce the end of the meeting when someone knocked urgently outside.

Then, after the other party entered, he said: "Gu Jianqi just attempted to jump out of the window to escape, but was caught by our perimeter control personnel."

"..."

Li Ye looked at Sun Laoliu in surprise, feeling a strong sense of awe for this guy who was always smiling.

It was still broad daylight! Sun Laoliu actually deployed manpower on the perimeter of the hotel. Is this guy an investigator or a secret agent?

Sun Laoliu announced the end of the meeting with a gloomy face and went to "have a heart-to-heart talk" with Gu Jianqi. He believed that because of this failed escape, he could obtain greater progress.

And Li Ye asked suspiciously behind his back: "Gu Jianqi is almost sixty years old and still thinking about staying overseas to start over, but Secretary Han is so young, why did he think he couldn't open his heart and seek death? Do you think it's strange or not?"

"..."

Sun Laoliu suddenly turned his head and stared at Li Ye for a long time, but Li Ye faced him calmly, as if he were just saying it casually.

But Sun Laoliu's face became even gloomier.

Ma Zhao had already said just now that the toilet window on the 27th floor was very high, and there was fiber tissue left by clothing friction on it.

So at that time, did Guo Huai go up by himself, or did someone "help" him climb up? ===== CHAPTER 830 =====

Sun Laoliu suddenly turned his head and stared at Li Ye for a good while, but Li Ye faced him calmly, as if he had just been speaking casually.

But Sun Laoliu's expression grew even gloomier.

Ma Zhaoxian had already said just now that the bathroom window on the twenty-seventh floor was very high, and there were fiber tissues left behind by clothing friction on it.

So, did Guo Huai climb up there himself at the time, or did someone "help" him climb up?
