Chapter 676: Chapter 428: Coercion and Temptation! Results! (Part 2)

He never learned this in school...

"Si Mei, do you think Si Mei can find the information we want?"

Yang Ruoxi couldn’t be bothered to criticize, having long been accustomed to the other’s ’borderline’ style of investigation.

She continued to ponder smoothly.

"What if... she’s discovered?"

"Then let her be discovered."

Xu Liang was rather indifferent.

Whether Si Mei is discovered or not, it doesn’t affect his intelligence acquisition.

"Why do you say that?" Li Tao raised an eyebrow.

"If she’s discovered, the way Wang Chenghua handles her will reveal whether Wang Chenghua himself has problems."

"If she’s not discovered... then we’ll wait for the information!" Xu Liang spoke openly.

Based on previous deductions,

Wang Chenghua must be eager to please the other party, so the days around August 24 should be sensitive for him.

If Si Mei gets discovered... it’s like a knee-jerk reaction. Just observe the other party’s attitude, and it proves whether this timeframe has issues.

At that time, they could naturally pursue this lead for an investigation.

"Of course, if Si Mei isn’t discovered, the information obtained will be more than this."

"So..."

The three of them reached the hotel entrance, and Xu Liang stood in front of the car, with a smile on his face.

"Let’s see if Si Mei can pull it off!"

...

...

November 10.

Eight o’clock in the morning.

Si Mei walked to her villa with a gloomy face, the sound of her high heels clicking sharply.

After returning home,

She first asked the butler, then asked the maid at home, confirmed that Wang Chenghua was not at home, and finally started searching everywhere in the villa.

After searching for quite a while, Si Mei didn’t find any relevant information.

"The 24th... Drunken Night KTV... the people contacted..."

Si Mei sat on the sofa, feeling very impatient, but had to suppress her emotions and fall into contemplation.

There were no obvious clues at home.

She could only investigate by going to the company, but with many people there, it was highly likely she would be discovered by Wang Chenghua.

Si Mei became more and more irritable.

Until...

"Wait..."

In a trance, Si Mei seemed to suddenly think of something, and her heart skipped a beat.

After Xu Liang left last night, she had someone investigate him and got the result that he was a lawyer named Xu Liang.

And currently, the case at hand was an administrative case related to Wang Chenghua!

In other words...

"The pretty boy is looking for something about August 24... and it’s related to the recent case?"

Si Mei furrowed her brows, immersed in her thoughts.

If she thought about it like this... she seemed to have realized something!

"Ye Ji... If I remember correctly, Ye Ji was arranged by that old Wang Chenghua after he received a call insulting him not long ago."

"That person’s voice... sounds familiar."

Si Mei fell into memory.

Not long ago,

While she was applying a mask, she heard Wang Chenghua dial a phone, being scolded like a grandson.

Only after this phone call did he urgently arrange for Ye Ji to come, and Ye Ji’s role was in Xu Liang’s administrative case.

"The matter of August 24... is related to the person on the other end of the phone?"

Si Mei stood up, stroking her chin and pacing back and forth.

If that’s the case...

"That old Wang Chenghua is so humble... it’s estimated that he hasn’t done little in giving money to the person on the other end of the phone."

Si Mei’s eyes suddenly lit up.

She instantly thought of an angle to find out the information Xu Liang wanted.

"If we trace where Wang Chenghua spends his money, wouldn’t we be able to narrow down the scope of that person’s identity!?"

This level of giving money wouldn’t be done privately.

Privately, you can only give ten thousand, but when it reaches hundreds of thousands, it’s very dangerous because it’s dirty money!

So, there’ll definitely be a legitimate reason on the surface to give.

For example, investing, or donating, funding.

That way, casually giving could be millions, and even the money would be cleaned spotless!

Based on Si Mei’s understanding of Wang Chenghua, the opponent would probably take such an approach.

"Got it!"

Thinking of this,

Si Mei didn’t hesitate for a moment, turning around to let the people she nurtures secretly start the investigation.

As for... what Xu Liang is looking for with this information?

Or whether this would cause Wang Chenghua to be in trouble...

These are not of concern to Si Mei, she only cares about her own prosperity.

Hours pass.

In the bedroom.

Si Mei sat on the bed, looking at the information given by her subordinates, and couldn’t help but exclaim.

"I’ve found it, Wang Chenghua’s financial flows!"

"And this Zhuge Rong, but..."

Looking at the information, Si Mei suddenly hesitated.

"Why is the identity... so strange?"

"Forget it, I’m just investigating anyway."

...

...

November 12th.

Xu Liang hasn’t taken much action in the past two and a half days.

He wanted to communicate with Zhao Jie, perhaps using bone conduction technology to let her hear his voice, but it was obvious Zhao Jie was too severely injured for bone conduction to work.

Besides.

He intentionally appeared at the police station, especially in the room where ’Zhao Jie’ was, showing no fear of the hidden third eye.

Or rather, he wanted the other side to keep watching him!

Of course, there hadn’t been any mysterious texts during this time, clearly Zhao De and the others teaming up had an effect.

"Hello? Xu, the judiciary side... the things involved are currently quite complex."

"This isn’t a matter of whether it can be solved or not..."

In the reception room where Zhao Jie was.

Xu Liang sat on a chair, holding a phone, and on the other end was Police Chief Wang Hai.

After three days of open and clandestine struggles.

Initially, Wang Hai and Zhao De thought that with Dean Qian stepping in... the matter should have been resolved by the 9th.

But none of them anticipated.

That it would drag on until now, a small notification still not resolved!

The waters are getting muddier, no one knows what’s really going on!?

"Currently, we still can’t figure out who that person is, but from what we know... they’re mainly targeting you through ’connections’."

On the phone, Wang Hai warmly replied to Xu Liang.

For such ’God of Wealth’ types, Wang Hai is quite accommodating.

"The moment the connections run out will be when the issue is resolved!"

Connections?

Xu Liang paused, raising an eyebrow, and glanced at the camera in the reception room.

Indeed.

It barely differed from his speculation.

The other side is most likely a second-generation, potentially with a special status, unlike their peers, requiring concealment.

Plus, currently, they’re relying entirely on connections...

It seems the opponent’s family currently has no one who can directly restrict Zhao De.

Of course, it also indirectly proves that their family’s early years were highly renowned throughout Eastern Country, otherwise, they couldn’t rely solely on connections to hold back Dean Qian.

"Alright, thanks, Uncle Wang, I’ll treat you to a drink when I’m free."

Xu Liang responded with a smile.

Just then.

Beside him, Yang Ruoxi felt a slight vibration in her pocket, instinctively looking down, then reaching to pull out her phone.

An unknown text appeared on the phone.

This is...

[128xxxx: The information you want...]

Si Mei sent information!?

Yang Ruoxi’s expression changed, quickly turning to look at Xu Liang beside her, not caring he was on the phone, she whispered:

"Information is here!"

Information... Si Mei’s information!?

Xu Liang raised his eyebrows, unsurprised.

Si Mei may be cunning, but it doesn’t mean she’s stupid!

If she were truly foolish, she couldn’t have hidden from Wang Chenghua for so long, living lavishly outside, which indirectly proves she’s quite clever!

"What information? Let me see!" Xu Liang turned his head to look.

But...

Meanwhile.

On the other end of the phone, in the office, Wang Hai, about to hang up, suddenly froze.

There’s... there’s information?

Information about the real culprit’s identity!?

This can’t be right, he and Zhao De have been probing in murky waters for three days, unable to find the real identity, how could they... have information now?

"Xu, where did you get this information?"

Wang Hai felt something was amiss, his expression strange, he hesitantly asked.

"Don’t let someone fool you."

He thought Xu Liang was still quite sensible and understanding, and if he got fooled in such a muddled case... it would be trouble!

Yet on the other end of the call, there was no response to the question, instead speaking:

"Uncle Wang, I’d like to ask you to investigate someone for me!"

"Someone named Zhuge Rong, this person is a bit odd."

"From the information... he registered his first ID card at 25, his previous records are all blank!"

Blank personal information?

Zhuge Rong? Who is this?

Wang Hai frowned, pondering for a while before deciding to look into it.

"When was the ID card registered?" Wang Hai asked.

A moment later.

Xu Liang’s voice came through the phone.

"Last century."

"1984."
