Things were going smoothly on Wang Zheng's side. However, something big had happened on the distant Earth.
In a short span of two years, OMG had transformed from Earth's Asia region to a business group in a distant galaxy. The speed was too fast. It was so fast that it was like a young bird that had left its nest before it could withstand the storm.
A storm had suddenly descended.
"OMG betrayed the interests of the Solar System Federation and illegally sought private profits on TitaTitan Star."
The storm had started on social media. A reporter had published an article, accusing OMG of using the Solar System's name to monopolize operations on TitaTitan Star. The Solar System's representatives had used the Solar System's political resources to exchange for the benefits of OMG's private company!
"What qualifications does OMG have to represent the Solar System and run amok on TitaTitan Star? Two years ago, OMG was just a mecha spare parts and maintenance company in the Asia region. The mecha that they produced were also agricultural type mecha. Their quality was rather average. However, it was such a company that could not be seen in the Solar System that was the only designated partner company on TitaTitan Star. According to the information found on TitaTitan Star's official website, OMG was using the name of the Solar System … "
"After a deep investigation into OMG, shocking things were discovered. Representative Ye Bingwen was actually the boss behind OMG! The exchange of benefits was self-evident … "
The article had listed many pieces of evidence at the end. Although there was no direct evidence, there was indirect evidence. The content was rather rich.
Ye Bingwen had never expected that he would be attacked in such a way when everything was going smoothly. It was obvious that the opponent had made sufficient preparations. Moreover, they had waited for the scale to reach a certain extent before launching their attack. Numerous media outlets had condemned them and a large amount of evidence had been revealed.
At the same time, the Solar System Federation's parliament had reacted quickly. Ye Bingwen had been thrown into jail!
Although it was not a real jail, the reason was that it was a protective confinement to assist in the investigation!
However, everyone knew that the so-called assistance in the investigation meant that the Federal Bureau of Investigation had already gotten hold of the evidence. Moreover, the impact on public opinion was even greater. Ye Bingwen's support rate had fallen to rock bottom.
It was rare to receive help in times of need. However, there were many who added insult to injury. Ye Bingwen had risen too quickly, but he had no foundation. This was completely incomparable to those old political families. At such a time, this shortcoming was clearly exposed.
On Earth, it was time for the Leonid meteor shower to arrive once again. In the past, the headlines of the news media would definitely be about how to observe the meteor shower. Now, it was "Ye Bingwen has been arrested, OMG has been seized".
In bars, cafes, teahouses, and leisure squares, the topics of conversation were mostly about the political storm that was more eye-catching than the Leonid meteor shower.
"I don't think Ye Bingwen would go that far. After he became a member, he did a lot of good things …"
It wasn't that there were no voices speaking up for Ye Bingwen. However, very quickly, they were suppressed by even more voices.
"Bullshit! Just a person with a kind face but an evil heart. Use your brain to think about it. What was OMG like two years ago? What level was he at now? If there was no insider trading, would you believe it? Anyway, I don't believe it! " Some people began to show off their intelligence, saying things that didn't exist and they didn't understand at all. They spoke as if they were at the scene and had seen it with their own eyes.
This was because he was used to being black-bellied. Suddenly, his whole body felt comfortable.
"That's right!"
"Shh, Councilor Liang Yindao is starting his speech on television."
The bar quietened down immediately. Everyone lifted their heads and looked at the television screen. The bar boss had also increased the volume of the television.
"My fellow countrymen, today is the night of the Leonid meteor shower. It was originally a good day. However, my heart feels as though it has been smashed by the night of the meteor shower. The Solar System is in the ascendant and it is the time for our Solar System to show off our great ambitions. However, there are people who have risked the world to do the opposite and have corrupted the purity of the parliament from the roots. I admit that Ye Bingwen has done a lot of good things. He has made contributions as a member of the parliament. The most typical example is to save the poor from school.
On the television, Liang Yindao paused for a while with a pained expression before continuing to say, "However, this is all his cover and a way to numb us. In fact, he has been seeking benefits for his privately owned OMG company. He has committed three sins. The first sin is to pretend to be kind while actually being evil. The so-called project to get rich is actually to obtain cheap labor to earn more money for his OMG company. This name list is the evidence. This is a special poverty poverty list. There are 5,186 people on the list. How many of them are still on Earth and how many of them are in the Solar System? How many of them are still on Earth and how many of them are there in the Solar System? These people have all been sent to Titatitan Star by him. Is it these 5,186 people? Is it OMG? Or does it belong to Ye Bingwen alone? The second crime is to betray the interests of the country … "
Liang Yindao was one of the members of parliament who had a very broad base among the people of the Solar System. He was born as a commoner and was a university teacher. He had no business background. When he was running for the first regional representative, there were only three people in his team. Two of them were his students and the other was his wife. In the end, he succeeded. He used his eloquence and speech to move countless voters. He became the most junior regional representative.
In the Solar System and on Earth, countless commoners followed him and believed in him. They saw him as the voice of the people and a fighter who protected the interests of the commoners. He was a real politician and not a crafty politician. This was a gift. Some people were born with persuasive power. Even if they didn't say a word, they would be able to make people believe in them with just a look.
His speech was filled with emotional incitement. Upon hearing his speech, almost everyone shouted angrily. Ye Bingwen deserved to die a hundred times, a thousand times, ten thousand times. However, no one mentioned the good things that Ye Bingwen had done for them in the past. Even if they remembered, they would follow Liang Yindao's rhythm and think that this was a cover for the great evil disguised as good and the great evil disguised as loyalty! Little Fortune Star had returned to Earth.
Although it wasn't closed down like OMG, it was still struggling now. Some of the cooperative projects that had been discussed had also been postponed indefinitely. Disregarding the losses, the development was a little out of shape. This was because Little Fortune Star had become a related industry. This was another way for Ye Bingwen to earn profits. Otherwise, how could a sanitary napkin company develop to such a stage in such a short period of time and even do cross-border business? There was evidence that he was doing business with some international financial groups on Tita Star. All these signs pointed to a conspiracy behind the scenes.
"I'm sorry to have implicated you guys this time." Ye Zisu rubbed her eyebrows and said to Old Yan.
"Our side isn't important. The most important thing now is to think of a way to meet your father and understand the specific situation."
Old Yan frowned and was very worried about Ye Bingwen's situation. "It's obvious that this was a premeditated political attack. Such scale and methods definitely couldn't be done by an ordinary person. We have to investigate that representative as well. There might be some clues."
Ye Zisu nodded and replied, "I'm already doing it."
However, the opponent came prepared. Moreover, the killer move was especially fatal. They controlled Ye Bingwen directly and didn't give OMG a way out.
Solar System Federation Supervisory Department.
Ye Bingwen looked very calm on the surface. However, he was very proud in his heart. He had been brought here for three days. The opponent's tactics were very insidious. As a veteran in the business world and a politician, he had already thought of the opponent's tactics. They were accurate and ruthless. No wonder things had been going smoothly during this period of time.
It was to make him lower his guard. The truth was that Ye Bingwen knew who the opponent was. Only they had such a huge influence. OMG's expansion had harmed their interests. Ye Bingwen should have been more vigilant from the beginning.
"Representative Ye, it will only be disadvantageous for you if you don't cooperate. You can tell us now how to carry out the exchange of interests. We can plead for you in front of the prosecutor and prove that you have performed meritorious deeds."
Pa! There was a loud slap on the table.
"At this stage, you still want to get lucky? Let me tell you, I've seen many people like you. In the end, all of them were crying and begging for meritorious deeds! "
Ye Bingwen smiled. One was playing the good cop and the other was playing the bad cop. It was an old trick. Did they think he was a fool? Many hotheads who had never been through an interrogation, when faced with such a setup, after being coaxed and lied to, they would confess the crimes that they did not know about.
It was true that OMG was able to develop because of his hard work. However, the fact that it had developed to where it was today had nothing to do with him. To be honest, he was the one who had benefited from it. It was a pity that no one would believe such a thing. Even if he was in a different position, he probably wouldn't believe it either.
"Before I see my lawyer, I have nothing to say," Ye Bingwen said calmly. He had not slept for three days and two nights. The lights were irritating his eyes. He was calculating mathematical problems in his heart and fighting against the restlessness that was caused by the lack of sleep.
"Representative Ye, there's a situation with your lawyer. I'm your appointed lawyer. I'm afraid you'll still have to explain yourself. Your case is too serious. Everyone is clear about OMG's qualifications in the Solar System. TitaTitan Star had even rejected Arbiter and Aslan. Why did they choose OMG? It's not too late for you to explain the situation now. As long as the management rights are still with the Solar System, this would be a meritorious deed. Of course, the prerequisite is that you have to explain the exchange of benefits that you have done. Now we are still in the Supervisory Department and not the court. Opportunity is on our side. "
A man in a suit sitting beside Ye Bingwen said earnestly. He was the lawyer that the Supervisory Department had appointed for him.
Ye Bingwen laughed coldly. "If people like you can be a lawyer, then rabbits can be pigs."
"Representative Ye, don't you understand the situation now? Letting your emotions affect your decisions won't solve the problem. A wise man submits to circumstances."
Ye Bingwen laughed heartily. Where would there be a lawyer who would persuade his client to plead guilty like this? The Chronos family was really an all-out attack the moment they made a move.
"Use whatever means you have."
Ye Bingwen smiled faintly and didn't say another word. In the worst case scenario, he could handle it alone. At least he could protect his daughter. If he admitted defeat, the entire OMG would collapse and these people would definitely not give him a way out.
