My Wife is Actually a top-tier Soldier King?!
Chapter 530 - 530 530 What a colossal joke!

530: Chapter 530: What a colossal joke!

530: Chapter 530: What a colossal joke!

Easy win?

After hanging up the phone, Wu Jie was still somewhat dazed.

Yuan Shikui had taken the initiative to report and turn himself in!

His family was being held by Yincheng’s Muto Conglomerate, demanding two billion Gold Coins for their release.

Former allies, turning into sworn enemies in an instant—what a great cosmic joke.

And with Tianyuan He Ying Credit Co.

at the forefront, dozens of credit companies had crumbled spectacularly.

A severe cash run and withdrawal crisis swept across the entire credit industry.

Some had already stopped payments, unable to provide withdrawals.

Some were still desperately trying to hold on, struggling at death’s door.

Some netizens said.

On the East African SAM project, Wu Jie pulled off an astounding miracle, igniting the information and communications industry.

It enabled domestically produced electronic information equipment to finally hold its head high in the international market and become a worldwide bestseller.

And now, the release of the brutal video involving Yuan Shikui had become the spark for the run on withdrawals.

It had triggered a financial storm that had utterly destroyed the credit industry, worth trillions.

So.

The battle between Wu Jie and Yuan Shikui was truly worth trillions.

And the loss suffered by Tianyuan He Ying Credit was said to be as high as four hundred billion!

Such losses in the battle were no less than having waged a war!

“Wife, do you think the losses from this battle are really that great?”

Wu Jie glanced at Tang Xiao, who was busy with her tablet computer beside him.

“What do you think?”

With her lips slightly upturned, Tang Xiao smiled and said:

“Taking Yuan Shikui’s company as an example, they’re already insolvent and utterly incapable of payment, so they’ll have to declare bankruptcy and liquidate!”

“Even if users manage to get their money back, they’ll be wary of even the well water after being bitten by a snake—not to trust easily anymore!”

“To once again attract users to deposit their money, and then to take it for investments and loans…

would be difficult, to say the least!”

“So essentially, the entire industry has been destroyed, and who knows how long it will take to rebuild!”

Tang Xiao paused briefly, then showed Wu Jie the latest announcement from Tianyuan He Ying Credit.

“See?

They’ve already reported it!”

“They say the company’s financial system doesn’t match the books, suspecting a network attack or data manipulation by internal staff!”

“Resulting in investors earning more than expected and borrowers repaying less, the one plus one minus difference leads to a loss of up to four hundred billion!”

“For this reason, they will suspend withdrawals for users, but welcome borrowers to repay their loans early.”

In the lengthy announcement.

Tang Xiao summarized the situation succinctly for Wu Jie to listen.

Wu Jie smiled faintly.

“As long as ordinary folks get their share, it’s fine.

As for the behind-the-scenes shareholders who lose until they bleed dry—that’s their own fault!!”

No sooner had he said this than his phone rang; it was Captain Liao calling.

Strange!

Does Mu En have something urgent?

Without a second thought, Wu Jie hurriedly answered.

“Brother, are you able to step out right now?

A department would like to invite you for some tea, to inquire about a few things!”

Wu Jie’s eyebrows rose; he looked at Tang Xiao, who was almost smiling.

“I’m available.

Send the address, I’ll head right over!”

“Great!

Give my regards to President Tang!”

With a chuckle, Captain Liao hung up the phone.

Phew!

Wu Jie let out a long breath and felt awkward.

Laughing, Wu Jie asked, “Why don’t you come with me?

Aren’t you afraid I’ll be detained, imprisoned, or even tortured?”

Tang Xiao laughed and said, “What would I do there?

The fact that Captain Liao called you proves they really just want to understand the situation!”

“If they had already gathered the evidence, they would have just barged in with guns blazing to arrest you!”

“Besides, with your skills, what can they possibly get out of you?

Go on, I believe in you!”

Saying this, Tang Xiao lifted the blankets and got out of bed.

“Where are you going?”

“To get something to eat!

I’m starving!”

“Wait!” Wu Jie turned and got out of bed.

“I’ll cook something for you first, then go for the tea!”

Tang Xiao was taken aback, then smiled sweetly:

“Nice!

You truly live up to being a kept man that Tang Xiao provides for!”

“What nonsense are you talking about?” Wu Jie opened the wardrobe, searching for clothes.

“That’s what they say online!” Tang Xiao laughed.

“They say the reason you dare to go head-to-head with Yuan Shikui is that you have my backing!

Geez, I didn’t know I was that powerful!”

Wu Jie snorted lightly, quickly getting dressed.

Tang Xiao’s lips curved into a smile as she stepped forward to tenderly straighten Wu Jie’s clothes for him.

“Although hacking into and manipulating the financial system of Tianyuan He Ying Credit was wrong, the financial storm it caused, leading to heavy losses for many powers, felt satisfying to me!”

“The ancients said, ‘The scholar uses the pen to defy the law, and the martial artist uses force to break the ban.’ Since Yuan Shikui and his ilk have gone too far, and since proper means can’t deal with them, then if you ‘use force to break the ban’ to uphold justice, that’s nothing wrong!”

“At least…” Tang Xiao lifted her beautiful eyes, gazing at Wu Jie with deep affection, “At least I’m behind you!

You’re my hero in every sense of the word!”

Wu Jie paused for a moment.

“Can we not get so sentimental?

It’s making it seem like I’m headed to the guillotine!”

Tang Xiao huffed, and punched Wu Jie hard.

“It’s so rare for me to be melodramatic, you really don’t have a clue about romance!”

…

The night’s darkness was deepening.

After Wu Jie and Tang Xiao had their fill, they finally went downstairs and drove off.

The department investigating him was very secretive.

Not in some grandiose office building, but in an unassuming little courtyard.

As Wu Jie drove into the yard, deep in thought.

In front of a small building.

A middle-aged man, wearing glasses and dressed plainly, waited with a smile.

As Wu Jie got out of the car and approached, the middle-aged man extended his hand with a smile.

“Hello, Mr.

Wu!

My surname is Zheng; you can call me Zheng!”

“We’ve asked you to come today to understand some situations, and I hope we can have a pleasant conversation!”

Wu Jie nodded slightly, “I guarantee I’ll withhold nothing and tell everything!”

“That’s great, please, come in!”

Zheng made a welcoming gesture and led Wu Jie into the small building.

The small building, which looked old and dilapidated from the outside, was surprisingly modern inside.

Fingerprint unlocking!

Iris recognition!

Right next to it stood guards with loaded guns, ready to teach one a lesson should there be any problem with the identity check!

Luckily!

Zheng seemed to have quite a high rank; the guards stood at attention and saluted while the identity recognition posed no problems.

Upon entering the hall, they found an array of office cubicles, much like glass rooms.

They were divided into many groups, depending on the nature of their work.

Wu Jie glanced around.

Emergency response, internet public opinion, public welfare projects, military counter-espionage…

Each office cubicle was extremely modern.

In front of everyone, there was a combination of screens.

Obviously, the people here had exceptionally high authority!

Casually viewing traffic surveillance, online chats, emails…

People in their everyday lives probably don’t sense that there are always eyes, silently watching them.

It’s just that everyone goes about their lives properly, and only occasionally voice crude jokes or share minor videos, which don’t rouse their attention.

“Outsiders rumor that we have ‘dark rooms’ here, but as you can see, where is it dark?

It’s all bright here!”

“And as for drinking tea…

We bring our own tea; we do provide enough bottled water, but we can’t just invite everyone to drink tea willy-nilly!”

Zheng chuckled and led Wu Jie into one of the glass rooms.

The room was the epitome of simplicity.

There was just an aluminum alloy table, with three chairs arranged in a “品” shape around it.

There was no harsh spotlight typically used when interrogating suspects, nor were there any surveillance cameras in the top corners of the walls.

Even the air conditioning vents were on the floor, not like in movies where the suspects are handcuffed to the vents to blow cold air on them.

Inside the glass room, it was truly so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

After Zheng took his seat, a bespectacled man soon arrived.

Neat and polite, he brought with him a tablet computer and poured two steaming cups of…

plain water!

“Come on!

At least throw in some tea leaves!

Otherwise, wouldn’t my trip be in vain?”

Wu Jie said with a self-deprecating smile.

Zheng chuckled, waved his hand dismissively.

The bespectacled man quickly returned and brought Wu Jie a cup of tea.

“Thank you!” Wu Jie took the cup and sat down, glancing at the tea leaves: “This tea…

was bought for ten yuan a pack, right?”

Zheng sat opposite him, chuckling as he offered Wu Jie a cigarette.

“Make do with it!

Our department’s budget is limited, and since no one is here to bribe us, we can only afford cheap smokes and drinks!”

Lit with a cigarette, Wu Jie took out his phone, laughing:

“With your department, people would rather stay far away.

Who would come here to bribe anyway!”

He frowned slightly.

His phone had no signal!

Of course, there wouldn’t be any signal in this secretive place.

After turning off his phone and tossing it aside, Wu Jie blew a smoke ring and smiled as he watched Zheng’s relaxed demeanor.

“Let’s begin!”

Zheng nodded slightly, and the bespectacled man sitting beside him immediately played the video that Wu Jie had shot.

“What’s your beef with Yuan Shikui?”

“It was Xu Anyong and his bodyguard who hit people, not me!

He hates me because I asked him for money twice!”

Wu Jie replied in an even tone.

Zheng nodded slightly:

“We’ve already verified that.

He asked the Muto Conglomerate arranged assassins to try to kill you.

Are you aware of that?”

“I know!

Moreover, last night a martial artist sabotaged my company’s cables, which is why I was so angry that I posted the video online!”

…

“What’s the ‘Easter egg’ you mentioned in your post?

Are you talking about the massive financial storm?”

“What financial storm?

The ‘Easter egg’ I mentioned is that he will get beaten up again because the Xu family of Liuli City won’t let him off!”

…

“There have been major issues with Tianyuan He Ying Credit’s financial system.

Do you think it’s because of a hacker attack, or internal corruption?”

“Hasn’t Yuan Shikui already surrendered himself?

If the top beam is askew, the bottom beam will be crooked too.

It’s definitely because there are too many rotten elements inside!”

…

“Do you think it’s possible for Yuan Shikui and his associates to embezzle and misuse funds, leading to a massive loss of four hundred billion yuan?”

“I don’t know!

Anyway, their company has a lot of internal issues; you must have more than just heard of it!”

…

“In the SAM project in East Africa, did you engage in the competition with the three behemoths of technology?

What did you do there?”

“As part of our own corporate group, of course, I did my best to help!

Just coding and patching up vulnerabilities!”

…

“If you possessed especially advanced cyber skills, would you use them to fight for justice?”

“Impossible!

You should know me, swindling is my specialty!”

…

Zheng’s questions were unusual.

They covered everything under the sun, more like a messy chat with no meeting notes being taken.

After the talk, Zheng escorted Wu Jie back to his Mercedes and then said:

“This financial disaster has led to the destruction of an industry with a trillion-level scale, impacting the interests of tens of millions of people!”

“It’s a matter of great importance, so all possible factors must be investigated.

If Yuan Shikui’s company has internal issues, that would be best!”

Wu Jie nodded slightly, “I understand!

Appreciate your efforts!”

After a handshake, Wu Jie turned to open the car door and get inside.

Suddenly, Zheng muttered to himself as though thinking out loud.

Hearing this, Wu Jie abruptly turned his head, his eyes filled with confusion…
