Chapter 2322

~8 min read 1,519 words

Mei Dayong, who weighed over two hundred jin, never dreamed that one day the police would come to his door.

Mei Dayong had always felt that his mother was a person of great ability. She had ways in the United States to earn big money, and he only needed to be in the country, exchange her US dollars for Chinese currency, and then enjoy glory and wealth.

As for whether his mother's money came from legitimate sources, and whether his private currency exchange was against the law, he simply couldn't be bothered to worry about that.

So, he asked the police with a look of surprise: "What do you mean? What do you mean by suspicion of money laundering? What money did I launder?"

The police said coldly: "We have sufficient evidence to prove that all the assets owned by you and your brother were obtained illegally through illegal currency exchange! And we also have evidence to prove that you are laundering money for an overseas criminal organization!"

"What?" Mei Dayong said with a look of disdain: "Every cent in our family was earned by my mother through hard work. How did it become illegal income in your mouth?"

The police frowned and asked him: "Do you have no understanding of the law at all?"

Mei Dayong immediately said loudly: "How could I not understand? I am a law-abiding citizen! I don't gamble, I don't cheat, I don't steal, I don't rob. What right do you have to say I broke the law?!"

The police knew that it was impossible to communicate with him, so they said to their subordinates: "Take him away! Also, go inside and see if Mei Eryong and Zhang Fugui are there. If they are, catch them all and take them back for interrogation!"

Several police officers rushed into the villa, and within five minutes, they brought out Mei Eryong, who had a confused look on his face, and Zhang Fugui, who was trembling with fear.

Zhang Fugui was Mei Yuzhen's husband. When they were penniless years ago, Mei Yuzhen went to the United States with others, and he stayed at home to raise the two children. Later, Mei Yuzhen earned big money and looked down on him more and more, so she forced him to change the two children's surnames from Zhang to Mei.

Zhang Fugui had been a coward his whole life and poor his whole life. At that time, he had just relied on Mei Yuzhen to live a prosperous life and deeply felt the benefits of having money, so he was unwilling to go back to living a poor life no matter what. So, in order to live a little easier, he agreed to Mei Yuzhen's seemingly excessive request.

Over these years, although Zhang Fugui's marriage with Mei Yuzhen had existed in name only, he had relied on the wealth earned by Mei Yuzhen to fully enjoy the addiction of being a rich man. He usually drove a BMW X7 when he went out, and often fooled around with some middle-aged women of his age or a few years younger than him when he had nothing to do. He was usually flattered and served by those middle-aged women, and he lived a very comfortable life.

The more this was the case, the more nervous he was when he saw the police.

Mei Yuzhen's two daughters-in-law, seeing that their own men and their father-in-law had been arrested by the police, were both shocked and afraid, and hurriedly chased them out to ask about the situation.

The eldest daughter-in-law was a bit shrewish. Regardless of the fact that she was still holding a nursing baby in her arms, she sat on the ground and started making a scene, saying: "What right do you have to come to our house to arrest people? Is it because you see that our family is living well and you are unhappy? Tell me, who told you to come?!"

The leading police officer said coldly: "I warn you, the three of them are now criminal suspects, and we are taking them away for investigation. You had better not interfere with our law enforcement. Otherwise, it is obstructing official business, and obstructing official business will be held legally responsible!"

The eldest daughter-in-law was relentless, crying and saying: "Don't bully a woman like me who knows nothing! Today, you want to take my family away in front of me, that's just not going to happen!"

The leading police officer said with a serious expression: "I tell you, the three of them are now suspected of money laundering, and according to the evidence we have mastered, the amount involved is extremely high and the case is very serious. According to the Criminal Law, they will be sentenced to at least 5 years and no more than ten years in prison!"

"Not only that, all the deposits, cash, houses, and cars under their names, according to the evidence we have mastered, are without exception all illegal income. Subsequently, we will also seal these assets according to law. If you and their other family members transfer illegal income at this stage, according to the Criminal Law, this belongs to harboring and transferring criminal proceeds while knowing they are criminal proceeds, and will be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention, or public surveillance!"

"If the circumstances are serious, they will be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years and not more than seven years!"

"So I warn you, you must honestly cooperate with our investigation! Otherwise, you will be harming yourself!"

When the eldest daughter-in-law heard that she might also be sentenced to prison, she was so scared that her soul flew away.

The second daughter-in-law had a weak personality, and when she heard these things, she was already so scared that she collapsed on the ground.

The eldest daughter-in-law also lost her shrewish spirit just now, and hurriedly asked the police crying: "Then what should we do now... You arrested all the men in our family, won't we orphans and widows just be waiting to die?"

The police immediately said: "Don't worry, I will immediately notify your community neighborhood committee to pay attention to your situation. But if you have any needs in life, the neighborhood committee will definitely help you solve them. But I will say the same thing again, you must first understand what things are legal and what things are illegal. There are already three criminal suspects in your family, so you must never push yourselves onto the road of illegal crime again!"

After saying that, the police immediately waved to the people around them: "Withdraw the team!"

Everyone immediately responded and took the father and three sons to the police station in police cars.

Watching several police cars leave with a roar, the second daughter-in-law also cried like rain, and hurriedly asked the eldest daughter-in-law: "Sister-in-law... what should we do now..."

The eldest daughter-in-law was also scared silly, and muttered: "I don't know either... I've lived so long, and that was the first time I talked so much to the police just now..."

The second daughter-in-law hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, hurry up and call Mom. We have to let Mom make the decision on this matter..."

The eldest daughter-in-law then came back to her senses and hurriedly said: "You're right, hurry up and call Mom, I'll call her right now!"

After saying that, she immediately took out her mobile phone and called Mei Yuzhen.

This mobile phone that Mei Yuzhen kept on her person was the one she used specifically to contact her family. Only her family knew this phone number.

She thought it was another call from her eldest son. She looked down and found that the caller was actually her eldest daughter-in-law, and she couldn't help but frown immediately.

She had never liked this eldest daughter-in-law of hers, thinking that this eldest daughter-in-law had a shrewish and strong personality, and was even a bit stupid.

However, at that time, she was pregnant with her son's seed, and she was eager to hold her grandson, so she tacitly agreed to this marriage.

But her dissatisfaction with her eldest daughter-in-law in her heart kept increasing as her money kept increasing.

Just now, she wanted her eldest son to change his wife, which was not just talk. She really had this plan, but she hadn't had the time to interfere with this matter before.

And she originally planned that after she retired and returned to the country, the first thing she would do was to kick this eldest daughter-in-law away.

Now, seeing her eldest daughter-in-law calling, she instinctively thought that she must have heard what she said to her eldest son just now, and now she was calling to hold her accountable.

So, Mei Yuzhen answered the phone and asked in a very unfriendly tone: "Why are you calling me so early? Don't you know it's early morning here?"

The eldest daughter-in-law cried and said: "Mom... something big happened at home... Dayong, Eryong, and Dad have all been arrested by the police!"
