The beautiful CEO falls in love with me
Chapter 113 - 113 108 106 Five Million Dollars

113: Chapter 108 Chapter 106: Five Million Dollars 113: Chapter 108 Chapter 106: Five Million Dollars “Ye Chen, stop pretending!” Zhang Yantong snorted softly and said, “That night, you were indeed with me, but your two friends weren’t.”

“So what…” Ye Chen looked at Zhang Yantong curiously.

Ye Chen’s gaze had a big impact on Zhang Yantong.

She even wondered if she’d been investigating in the wrong direction.

However, Zhang Yantong was still determined to investigate to the end.

She stared into Ye Chen’s eyes and said, “So, I have reason to suspect that the five million dollars were taken by your people!”

“What?!” Ye Chen was stunned and asked, “Why would you suspect that?”

“Hmph, since you later casually spent 300,000 to take over the hotpot city and now you’re spending millions on renovations!” Zhang Yantong coldly looked at Ye Chen and said, “I’ve investigated your personal account; you have over one million RMB in there.

Explain to me now, where did your money come from!”

“Wow, Captain Zhang, you really think you’re King Yanluo, don’t you?

You want to manage everything?” Ye Chen was astonished and mocked, “The Emperor rules over heaven and earth but doesn’t control my personal matters.

And here you are, needing an explanation from me about my own money?”

Ye Chen was getting anxious.

This girl was really obstinate, continuing to dig into this issue.

She had brought down Brother Dandan, and now the higher-ups had even awarded her a third-class merit.

Yet here she was, still insisting on this matter.

“Pfft…” Zhang Yantong burst into laughter, tears streaming from her eyes.

After regaining her composure, she glared at Ye Chen and said, “You bastard, hurry up and confess the issue and then hand over the money.

That money doesn’t belong to you.”

“I told you, I haven’t taken anything!” Ye Chen was frustrated.

“I’ve already spent all the money, you’re asking me to give money, isn’t that asking for my life?

Anyone who dares to take my life, I will fight them.”

“Alright, then explain your bank account money and the money for the hotpot city renovation!” Zhang Yantong immediately asked.

“I borrowed it from Mr.

Li of Tianya Group and also from Crown Prince of the Southern District!” Ye Chen decided to deflect the issue completely.

He believed Li Ruo would keep his secret, and with many witnesses to Crown Prince’s actions, who had presented three million on the spot, Ye Chen believed he could dodge this bullet.

Zhang Yantong frowned, immediately made a phone call, and it was to Li Ruo.

Li Ruo was indeed smart, covering for Ye Chen, but did not reveal how much exactly he had lent to Ye Chen, making it difficult for Zhang Yantong.

“I told you I borrowed the money!” Ye Chen shrugged.

“Okay, I will have someone look into Crown Prince’s matter!” Zhang Yantong snorted coldly and made another phone call while Ye Chen sat beside, legs crossed, whistling, feeling much more relaxed.

He had been worried about Zhang Yantong digging up something substantial, but with Li Ruo’s cover, there was no need to worry now.

The news from the police station left Zhang Yantong feeling disheartened, as it turned out to be true.

Ye Chen and his people had beaten up Crown Prince and extorted two and a half million from him.

This made it even more difficult for Zhang Yantong to investigate.

“Hmph, I advise you to behave yourself in Jianghuai City, or else you will end up in trouble one day!” Zhang Yantong snorted coldly and then got up and left.

Before leaving, she still couldn’t help but say to Ye Chen, “The casino, the underworld, I advise you not to get involved.

It’s too deep!”

“Thanks for the advice, Officer Zhang!” Ye Chen grinned and immediately picked up a juice beside him, saying, “Officer Zhang, your orange particles.”

“No, it’s your orange particles,” Zhang Yantong coldly departed.

…

Inside the police station, a gray figure hid in the stairwell, clutching a phone.

He looked around quickly before darting in and then started making a call.

The call was made directly to the leading figure under Brother Dandan.

Although Brother Dandan was imprisoned, he still had many people outside pulling strings and using relationships, almost every possible connection had been utilized.

Moreover, a lot of money had been thrown around, so the case remained unresolved.

The higher-ups intended to wait until the attention had died down before interrogating and perhaps sentencing him to ten or eight years, then arranging something like medical parole.

In the end, it was likely to be left unresolved.

“Boss, today Zhang Yantong inquired about the five million dollars related to Brother Dandan!” the police officer said nervously.

“Oh, how did it go?” a deep voice came from the other end.

“Apparently, the investigation is targeting Ye Chen!” the officer immediately replied, “Today, I accidentally looked through Zhang Yantong’s secret solo work and found out that it was this kid and Feng Zhixiao who betrayed us.

Moreover, the five million might have been taken by them!”

“Damn!” A sound of a vase being smashed came from the other end of the phone, the person spoke murderously, “Damn it, no wonder Feng Zhixiao had the capacity to take over our Hotpot City territory, damn, we must tell Brother Dandan about this.

They actually think Brother Dandan is dead.

Keep an eye on this and come to me later to collect one hundred thousand yuan!”

“Okay, thanks big brother!” The young officer nodded eagerly, feeling cheerful.

Being a cop pays only a bit over two thousand a month, and even with some shady income, it’s barely five thousand.

Working for the underworld pays much faster, just one piece of information earns one hundred thousand.

He had already made over a million from Zhang Dadan, bought an apartment in Jianghuai City, and even a car worth over a hundred thousand, making everyone in the police station envious.

They all thought he came from a wealthy family, but actually, he came from a working-class family.

Nowadays, for the working class to buy an apartment in Jianghuai City, they would have had to work tirelessly from the Xinhai Revolution till today.

The young officer had just come out of the stairwell when he ran into Zhang Yantong, who was entering from outside.

“Xiao Chen, what were you doing inside?” Zhang Yantong asked curiously.

“Ah…

I…

I went inside to find a broom, wanted to sweep the stairs!” Xiao Chen nervously looked at Zhang Yantong.

“Aren’t the brooms at the entrance to the stairwell?” Zhang Yantong frowned, her years of psychological training telling her that Xiao Chen was definitely lying, he was surely hiding something from her.

The officer was startled, hurriedly said, “Ah, right, how could I forget!”

After saying that, he immediately ran off.

Watching Xiao Chen’s retreating figure, Zhang Yantong felt an ominous emotion, though she couldn’t pinpoint exactly where.

These days, investigating Zhang Dadan’s case had already made her dizzy with busyness.

So, she had no energy to analyze Xiao Chen’s situation.

Zhang Yantong returned to her office, pulled open the drawer, and immediately realized that someone had tampered with her things.

“Damn it, who was it!” Zhang Yantong immediately pulled out the files, her eyes widened, this case was none other than Ye Chen’s.

She remembered that because there was a mole inside the police, their first attempt to arrest Zhang Dadan had failed, even injuring more than a dozen officers.

A bad idea flashed through Zhang Yantong’s mind.

What should she do?

Zhang Yantong fell into silence, she was just about to call Ye Chen but ultimately put down the phone and scoffed, “Bastard, if you’re dead, you’re dead, it has nothing to do with me!”

…

A shadowy figure entered the prison of Jianghuai City, Zhang Dadan had already received special attention from the Prison Chief, thus he had privileges others did not have.

He virtually could have visitors anytime, without any time restrictions.

“Brother Dandan, damn, we finally found out who the mole is!” the shadow wiped off sweat, twirling a thick gold chain around his neck.

“Who is it!” Zhang Dadan, dressed in prison clothes and with his hair shaven into a crew cut, was fiddling with two jade balls, his fingers adorned with six gold rings, looking quite prosperous.

Since his downfall, Zhang Dadan had immediately had his underlings start investigating the matter, and to recover the lost five million, because that was his capital for a comeback.

Hearing there was news, he immediately showed a pleased look.

“Ye Chen, and that damn Feng Zhixiao!” the man with the gold chain spat, “Brother Dandan, what should we do!”

“Hmph, what to do?!” A sharp glint appeared in Zhang Dadan’s eyes, “Make them hand over the five million, then chop them up and feed them to the wild dogs at the foot of Xiangming Mountain!”

“Yes!” The man with the gold chain immediately nodded.

“Damn it, to think it was such lowlifes who made me suffer so much!” Zhang Dadan took a deep breath, almost bursting with rage.

Thinking this, Zhang Dadan wished he could instantly rush out to settle the score with Ye Chen and Feng Zhixiao!

“Brother Dandan, later talk to the prison guards, let them let you out, and we can go settle things with those bastards!” the man with the gold chain gritted his teeth.

“Right, bribe the prison guards more, we can use the connections here!” Zhang Dadan grinned and said, “There are a few good fighters in this prison, I plan to get them out, to support our cause too!”

“Alrighty!” His little brother said nothing more and immediately nodded in agreement.
