Chapter 586: Chapter 0588: What Do You Know

Minister Zheng said, "Mr. Ge, don’t worry. Even if his books are clean, I’ll find something on his personal account!"

Ge Fan chuckled, "I know you have the capability, Minister Zheng. I trust you won’t let me down."

As time ticked by, Chu Ge, having nothing else to do, sat there with his eyes closed, going through the content of the Heart Sutra in his mind once more.

When he opened his eyes again, two hours had already passed.

During these two hours, no one came in to interrogate him, nor did anyone come to check if he was still sitting there peacefully.

Chu Ge made a guess—given their confidence, there must be cameras in here.

Chu Ge slowly stood up, stretched, and loosened his muscles. While moving, his gaze swept around and suddenly, he precisely locked onto the camera.

In the corner, a faint red light emitted, almost invisible unless looked for diligently—as it was as tiny as the tip of a needle.

Sitting in front of the monitor, Ge Fan stared at the screen, his thoughts unclear. Suddenly, a sharp gaze seemed to shoot through the monitor and onto him, causing a jolt in his heart. He hurriedly averted his gaze elsewhere.

Feeling as if he had been caught red-handed, it took him a while to calm his emotions.

He thought it unlikely that Chu Ge had the capability to identify the person behind the monitor. After regaining some sense, he looked back at the monitor, only to be stunned.

In a moment, Ge Fan abruptly stood up, pointing at the monitor and loudly shouted, "Where’s the person?"

Minister Zheng, who was with him, followed the direction of his pointing. Looking at it, he too was dumbfounded, quickly stood up, and ran out of the room towards the interrogation room.

The monitor provided a 360-degree, no-dead-angle surveillance; as long as Chu Ge was still in the interrogation room, he wouldn’t disappear from the camera.

Yet, there were suddenly no figures in the interrogation room.

Minister Zheng panicked. Previously, Ge Fan had told him Chu Ge knew Ancient Martial Arts and was extremely capable and to be very careful. If Chu Ge had truly escaped from the interrogation room, his prestigious reputation would be completely ruined.

Minister Zheng ran to the door of the interrogation room in disarray, and fiercely pushed the door open, only to see Chu Ge sitting there unharmed, tapping his leg and looking at him with a smile.

Minister Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly as he entered, glanced at the monitor, then at him, a slight suspicion flashing through his mind.

Chu Ge smiled and said, "Minister Zheng, how did the investigation go?"

Slow to realize, Minister Zheng understood he had been played by Chu Ge, although he did not know yet how Chu Ge had managed it, but he already labeled him in his mind as a trickster.

Minister Zheng’s expression soured as he walked to the table across Chu Ge, leaning on it and said displeasedly, "Chu Ge, I advise you to stay right here and wait. Whenever the results are out, we will inform you. Better not play any more tricks! Otherwise, you’ll be the one suffering."

Chu Ge looked at him, knowing that the people behind the monitor were not only Minister Zheng. Just now, his use of the Blinding Technique had made Minister Zheng so anxious to verify his presence, which further proved that someone wanted to get him.

But Chu Ge couldn’t understand, since they wanted to get him, why use these tactics?

"Minister Zheng, I think you are wasting your effort. At Jinxiu Group, I’m just a figurehead. I completely stay out of the financial matters," Chu Ge stated candidly, but ironically, Minister Zheng didn’t believe him. He had been in his role for many years and had never encountered a minister who dared claim they were clean.

"You’ll know soon enough if you’re clean or not!" Minister Zheng said venomously.

At that moment, someone rushed over, informing Minister Zheng that the results were out.

Upon hearing this, a crafty smile quickly spread across Minister Zheng’s face, "Chu Ge, you’ll soon find out whether you are clean or not."

Minister Zheng went to get the results, and as he saw what was displayed on the documents, he was momentarily stunned.

Thinking he had picked up the wrong file, he repeatedly confirmed the name; the results were correct.

Minister Zheng, puzzled, asked, "Are you sure there were no errors in the check?"

The staff shook their heads, "We also couldn’t believe the results, so we confirmed it several times, hence the delay."

Minister Zheng scratched his head, standing at the door, hesitating to enter.

Clean!

Shockingly clean!

As clean as a blank sheet of paper.

Minister Zheng still couldn’t believe it and he looked up at the staff, asking, "Did you check Chu Ge’s personal accounts?"

The staff nodded, "We found many shares under Chu Ge’s name. Just the dividends from these shares amount to over ten billion each year, so..."

So, it is no surprise that someone put up three billion at an auction.

However, Minister Zheng was astounded, and he stared at the staff in disbelief, "What did you say? What shares?"

"According to our investigation, Chu Ge owns shares from the Four Great Families, and even half of the shares of Jinxiu Group are under Chu Ge’s name."

Minister Zheng was utterly shocked; owning shares from the Four Great Families indicated a deep connection! This spelled huge implications!

Minister Zheng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead; what had he done? Offending Ge Fan would at most mean staying as minister without further promotion, but offending the Four Great Families put his very livelihood at risk!

He panicked and paced back and forth outside the interrogation room, unsure of what to do.

Upon seeing this, a staff member, puzzled, said, "Minister, we were just following up on a report for a routine inspection. Since there’s no illegal activity, we should just send him back."

Minister Zheng glared harshly at him, "What do you know!"

If this matter reached the ears of the Four Great Families, he would be in serious trouble.

It wasn’t that the Four Great Families were necessarily much different from the Nangong Family, but with the Nangong Family being in Beijing, where the emperor is far and the saying goes, ’Even a powerful tiger won’t fight a local tyrant,’ what weight did the Four Great Families hold in Shanghai, and what was his role as a mere minister?

He certainly didn’t believe that the Nangong Family would confront the Four Great Families for his sake; in the end, he would still have to clean up this mess himself.

At this moment, Ge Fan also came out from the monitoring room, seeing Minister Zheng standing outside the interrogation room with a troubled expression. Perplexed, he approached and asked, "Minister Zheng, what’s wrong?"
