Chapter 378: Chapter 377 Please Boss
Wang Yan’s words, “Release them,” were spoken in a calm tone, but to Ouyang Lieqing’s ears, they were like a thunderous explosion beside him, leaving his mind reeling and his vision dark.
After a long while, Ouyang Lieqing slowly calmed down and couldn’t help but smile bitterly. Although Wang Yan ordered the release, it was Director Huang who had the final say here. If Director Huang didn’t allow it, who would dare to release them?
Wang Yan’s words might just provoke Director Huang, and it’s possible that everyone involved might be thrown out of the police station.
Unexpectedly, upon hearing Wang Yan’s words, Director Huang wasn’t angry but rather hurriedly asked, “Why release them?”
Seeing Director Huang’s expression, Ouyang Lieqing suddenly felt hopeful. He quickly looked at Wang Yan, hoping he would say something more conciliatory to plead for his sister.
Unexpectedly, Wang Yan bluntly stated, “Because you have the wrong person.”
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Lieqing couldn’t help but sweat on his forehead and thought, “Young people, they really aren’t tactful with words. Telling Director Huang he has the wrong person is like slapping him in the face. Sigh, this time, Director Huang will surely be angry.”
However, what surprised Ouyang Lieqing again was that Director Huang was not angry at all. Instead, he asked anxiously, “With both witnesses and video footage, how could I possibly have arrested the wrong person?”
Wang Yan said calmly, “Let me ask you, does Bank President Ouyang know about the surveillance cameras in the bank?”
Director Huang nodded and said, “Of course, she knows.”
Wang Yan said, “If that’s the case, wouldn’t her actions obviously be walking into a trap?”
Hearing this, Director Huang immediately frowned and said, “This alone isn’t enough to prove she didn’t commit the crime.”
Wang Yan smiled faintly and said, “Besides this, there are many other suspicious points. For example, why would she steal money? Where did the money go? Who is the other dark-faced man in the video?”
With each question Wang Yan posed, Director Huang shook his head. After Wang Yan finished asking, Director Huang couldn’t answer any of the questions. However, Director Huang said, “I believe these questions will be answered sooner or later.”
Wang Yan chuckled and said, “There is one more important question that can prove the person who stole the money was not Bank President Ouyang.”
“What question?” Hearing this, everyone widened their eyes, and hope filled the eyes of both Ouyang Lieqing and his sister.
Wang Yan pointed to the still frame in the video and said, “The person in the video is wearing a hexagonal ring, but the person here has none.”
Hearing this, everyone turned to look at the video image, and indeed, the person’s finger had a hexagonal ring. In contrast, Bank President Ouyang’s hand was bare.
Upon seeing the ring, Su Yamo couldn’t help but exclaim excitedly, “I know, I know who the real culprit is!”
Director Huang still didn’t understand and asked, “Who are you talking about?”
Wang Yan glanced at Director Huang, smiled slightly, and said, “Did Director Huang forget about the Disguise Technique?”
If Wang Yan had mentioned Demon Pattern, Director Huang might not have understood, but as soon as the Disguise Technique was mentioned, Director Huang suddenly realized it and slapped his thigh, saying, “So it’s her?”
Wang Yan nodded.
Director Huang immediately shouted, “No wonder this case seemed so unreasonable. With Brother Wang Yan’s analysis, everything becomes clear. I really arrested the wrong person. Bank President Ouyang, you are free.”
Hearing this last sentence, both Bank President Ouyang and Ouyang Lieqing were dumbfounded. Even though they had been listening to the conversation between Wang Yan and Director Huang, they still didn’t understand what they were talking about.
But it wasn’t just the two of them. Except for Su Yamo, no one present understood the meaning behind the words.
Ouyang Feiting, looking at the dumbfounded Ouyang Lieqing and her aunt, happily said, “Auntie, you’re free. The director said they caught the wrong person.”
Hearing Ouyang Feiting’s words, Bank President Ouyang finally came to her senses. She never expected that with such a major case, she would be set free just like that.
She still looked at Director Huang with disbelief and asked, “Director Huang, are you saying I can leave?”
Director Huang nodded and said, “Of course. Brother Wang Yan just said that you are innocent.”
Tears of excitement immediately welled up in Bank President Ouyang’s eyes. She looked at Wang Yan and said, “Benefactor, how could I ever thank you enough.”
Ouyang Feiting said, “Auntie, no need to be so polite. Brother Wang Yan is my boyfriend, after all.”
The last three words “my boyfriend” were said so softly by Ouyang Feiting, and as soon as she said them, her face immediately turned red.
Although Bank President Ouyang didn’t hear clearly, seeing Ouyang Feiting’s expression, she guessed it correctly. She immediately gave a thumbs up and said, “Good, good, I fully support your boyfriend.”
With her aunt’s support, Ouyang Feiting couldn’t help but beam with joy.
Ouyang Lieqing was about to speak up and object, but remembering his earlier promise not to interfere, he had to swallow the words on the tip of his tongue.
However, he glared at Wang Yan and thought: Kid, if you want to marry my daughter, it’s not going to be easy. I will definitely investigate your family for three generations. Hmph, if there’s anything that doesn’t match up to the Ouyang Family, I won’t agree.
Meanwhile, the missing 1.7 billion in cash had already been funneled into the Gangzhe Group, and a carefully crafted net was spreading over the Peak Group.
But the Peak Group was completely unaware of the impending storm.
A week later, Li suddenly came into San’s office with a report, somewhat flustered, and said, “President, there’s a big problem now.”
San calmly said, “Don’t rush, speak slowly.”
Li said, “We have run out of stock of the premium antler necessary for producing our pharmaceuticals, and we can’t find it anywhere in Wanghai City. If we’re short of premium antler, we’ll have to breach our contract and halt production, and the massive penalty could bankrupt Peak Group.”
Hearing this, San frowned and said, “Immediately seek help from our three major suppliers. No matter what, we must buy premium antler.”
Li said, “We’ve already contacted the three major suppliers, but it turns out all three have been acquired by Gangzhe Group. They said we could buy it, but at ten times the price. Currently, Peak Group has about 400 million in liquid capital, but since we also need to purchase other raw materials, the tenfold price is too burdensome for us.”
At this point, San’s expression turned grim, and he said, “Can we find a new supplier now?”
Li said, “Even if we can find one, it will take a week, and by then the entire Peak Group will no longer be sustainable.”
Hearing this, San’s face changed dramatically, and he muttered, “Gangzhe Group has finally made their move, and I didn’t expect their first strike to be so ruthless. At this point, we have no choice but to call in the big guns!”
