The transfer was not troublesome.
To avoid trouble for Huai Shi, Ai Qing even used the highest exchange rate in the past few days to help him convert the money into East Xia dollars. She transferred the money to him through the Astronomy Society's bank account to prevent him from being investigated because of the unknown source of his wealth.
As a country of the Free City Alliance, the American Federation could be said to be the world's largest economy. It also had the world's largest reserves of gold and spirit crystals. It operated the world's largest spirit crystal exchange business, so the currency was very valuable. The exchange rate with East Xia dollars could reach 4: 1.
That was a total of more than 12 million dollars.
Suddenly, he became a rich man.
Huai Shi was overjoyed.
With so much money, even if it was only one-third, it was enough for him to completely renovate his old house and buy a full set of new furniture.
As for the remaining two-thirds, half was given to Crow for budget and the other half was left for living expenses. It would allow him to live in this small city of Xin Hai until the end of time.
After throwing away the burden of being poor for so many years, his mood suddenly became much more relaxed. He slumped in the chair and did not want to move.
"There's one more thing I want to tell you."
Ai Qing took a deep breath, and her expression became serious. "The Astronomy Society has already labeled your act of killing the Red Gloves as a righteous act. In other words, the Special Affairs Division will not be able to find trouble with you anymore.
I think we should terminate the contract, Huai Shi. "
"Hmm?"
Huai Shi looked at her with confusion. "Terminate the contract?"
"Yes." Ai Qing nodded. "The current you no longer needs to work for me. In the end, you don't have any responsibility for all of this. You should regain the freedom you deserve.
After this week, I will do the above and review in the weekly report. Soon, you can return to your life. "
Huai Shi looked at her in shock.
After a long time, he scratched his head and asked curiously, "But if I leave, what will you do?"
Ai Qing was stunned.
After a long time, she closed her eyes and smiled tiredly. She just shook her head but did not explain anything.
"I'm sorry," she whispered.
"Hmm?" Huai Shi did not hear clearly.
"No, it's nothing."
Ai Qing shook her head and stood up with the help of her cane to see him off. "You should go, Huai Shi. I hope you can realize your dream in the free world in the future."
Her attitude was firm.
Huai Shi didn't know what to say. He nodded slightly and was about to leave when he heard the phone on the table behind him.
Soon, the call was picked up, and Director Fu's voice could be vaguely heard.
There was also Ai Qing's suppressed anger. "Qi Wen brought people here to turn himself in? How can he turn himself in just because he said so? "
Huai Shi stopped in his tracks.
Soon, he closed the door and left.
.
.
By the time Ai Qing arrived at the Special Affairs Department, the interrogation had already begun.
"What happened?"
Ai Qing tossed her umbrella aside and pushed open the door to the observation room without waiting for the wheelchair. Then, she saw Qi Wen drinking tea with Director Fu.
Qi Wen put down his teacup and smiled helplessly at her. "Long time no see, Xiao Qing. I didn't expect you to see Third Uncle's ugly deeds."
Ai Qing's expression was indifferent as she looked at Director Fu.
Director Fu sighed and pointed at the one-way mirror beside him, indicating for him to see for himself.
In the interrogation room, sitting behind the table was a middle-aged man with a pale face. He was being interrogated with his head lowered and confessed to all his crimes.
"What's going on?" Ai Qing turned around, her eyes gloomy. "Who is that?"
"My family is unfortunate."
Qi Wen lowered his eyes and sighed sadly. "That's my nephew, Qi Pei. He was raised by me since he was young, and he's smart and capable. I trusted him so much and entrusted him with important tasks, but I didn't expect that bastard to be so blinded by greed. He actually colluded with that group of evil cultists and did so many ugly things … "
At this point, he was so angry that he almost couldn't breathe. "Now that things have come to this, even I can't help him hide it. Director Fu, Xiao Qing, please don't mind an old man like me. I will enforce the law impartially. "
He sighed sadly. "Qi Pei brought about his own downfall. He can't blame anyone else."
"… …"
Ai Qing didn't say anything else. She didn't even think about going in to find any loopholes.
There were simply too many scapegoats like this.
In the Collection of 10,000 Sins, scapegoats were a type of professional service. From the lowest level of scapegoats to the highest level of customization, they could even change a person from the inside out through implanting memories, catalyzing Origin Substances, and altering their consciousness. They could even make the person believe that they were a criminal.
There would also be a team of specialized legal experts and criminal consultants who would help the employer clean up every detail and mistake from the inside out, completing all the processes so that a criminal would be completely perfect.
For at least twenty million USD, they could make someone else take responsibility for all of their crimes. They could even make someone else take action in their place, even if it was to assassinate the president of the United States.
No matter how much they interrogated him, it wouldn't be of any use. Instead, it would help Qi Wen clear himself of all suspicion.
All he would have to bear was the stain of a bad judge of character, as well as the reputation of placing righteousness before family.
After getting rid of the last person in the know, just as he had planned, he was able to extricate himself from this quagmire and find a way out for himself from the pursuit of the Astronomical Association and the Special Investigations Department.
In the interrogation room, the perpetrator nodded his head mechanically, taking responsibility for all of the crimes on himself.
No matter if it was seven years ago, when he had lured the Huai couple away with a donation and then murdered them, or when he had collaborated with the Purified Citizens, he had taken responsibility for every single one of them.
He had even confessed to many accomplices and undiscovered matters.
This confession was like the art of flowing water. It was very pleasing to watch, and every sentence was filled with unexpected twists and suspense. It was enough to occupy the main plot of a novel.
At the same time, he had built a high wall for Qi Wen.
It was flawless.
Ai Qing didn't say anything else.
She watched calmly, almost indifferently, as this farce came to an end. She watched as Qi Wen shook off all of the dirt on his body and became clean and white again.
Just like an old dog that had come ashore.
It wasn't until he walked out of the interrogation room that Ai Qing, who was standing at the door, spoke.
"Do you think you can get rid of everything that happened to you just like that?" she asked coldly. "Or are you saying that no one will find out about what you did in the past?"
"You need evidence to speak. Xiao Qing, do you have evidence?"
Qi Wen shook his head helplessly and sighed. "It's really sad that you have such a deep misunderstanding of Third Uncle. After so many years, Third Uncle has watched you grow up. Don't you know what kind of person Third Uncle is? "
As such, he smiled helplessly and dotingly.
When he looked down at her cold expression, the corners of his mouth curled up into a happy smile.
In the gradually empty corridor, he reached out and took a copper pipe from He Luo's hand. He slowly lit a cigar, took a deep breath, and exhaled a scornful mist.
"Actually, it doesn't matter. So what if they find out? Come after me? Don't joke around. Tomorrow afternoon, Jinling's Social Security Bureau will hold a bid for the border of Penghu. I will definitely win, even without the Yin family.
At that time, I will be the person who controls the lifeline of Penghu. "
Qi Wen watched as Qi Pei, who had surrendered, was escorted to the prison. He casually waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "Even if something happens, even the Special Affairs Division can only clear my name. What can the Astronomy Society do to an innocent old man who was deceived by a cult?"
He retracted his gaze and looked at the girl in front of him with pity. "Xiao Qing, you're still too young and inexperienced."
Ai Qing was expressionless. She only asked back, "Do you think you can go to Jinling tomorrow?"
"It's not a thought, it's a fact."
Qi Wen was full of confidence. "If you think you can use the power of the Astronomy Society to make me stay, you can try."
Ai Qing angrily clenched her walking stick. In the end, she didn't say anything.
"Don't be sad, and don't show such an angry look."
Qi Wen shook his head and sighed softly. "Isn't your great-grandfather the best example? I started from the age of 29 and followed him for 20 years. I only learned one thing, and that is, the winner takes all. "
As he spoke, he raised his hand and told her seriously and solemnly through the wisp of smoke, "This is the truth of this world."
Ai Qing looked at him indifferently. "I'm not stupid enough to listen to an old dog's story. Mr. Qi, you don't have to waste your time with me."
Regarding this, Qi Wen only smiled tolerantly. Finally, he tidied up his suit. He raised his hand and gently brushed the dust off her shoulder.
"Do you remember what Third Uncle told you?"
He bent down and whispered mockingly in the girl's ear, "Children who leave home have to suffer."
Qi Wen ignored Ai Qing and turned to leave. He walked towards the door of the Special Affairs Division.
The road was smooth.
At the door, He Luo had already held an umbrella for him, but his footsteps stopped on the steps. He raised his head and looked at the gloomy sky.
In the dim and pale clouds, the rain continued to fall to the earth.
It was like in the past.
The first time he came to this city, it was the same disgusting scene. From then on, he hated this decaying city.
Qi Wen retracted his gaze and walked into the car.
He Luo put away the umbrella and returned to the driver's seat. He turned around and asked, "Boss, are we going home or to the company?"
"No, we're going directly to Jinling."
Qi Wen raised his eyes slightly. "Yin Qing, that little girl, is just like her great-grandfather in her bones, enduring silently, but she definitely doesn't lack courage. No, it should be said that she has the courage to act recklessly, right?
I deliberately provoked her today, but she was able to hold back. In the end, she didn't use any of her backup methods.
But if we go back like this, she'll use the authority of the Astronomical Society to investigate tonight. Even if she doesn't find anything, she'll forcefully take me away to cooperate with the questioning. It won't take too long, just 20 hours. It'll be enough to make all my previous efforts go to waste. "
He Luo was stunned. "What about Xiao Yuan?"
"Don't worry, he's already been arranged to be in a safe place."
Even to his confidant, Qi Wen didn't reveal his entire plan. He was even more guarded. "Did you make the arrangements last night?"
He Luo nodded.
"Very good. We'll go to the south of the city first, then take the Xinjin highway."
Qi Wen said slowly, "Arrange for people to take the sea route. Also, remember to keep that thing well."
He Luo nodded knowingly.
After a series of orders were passed down through He Luo and the secretary in the front passenger seat, Qi Wen slowly narrowed his eyes. "After preparing for so many years, it's time to turn things around."
From today onwards, no one would be able to make him his lackey!
In the gradually thickening curtain of rain, the motorcade disappeared into the gradually dimming light on the horizon. It was as if they were drowned in darkness.
Qi Wen gradually fell asleep.
After a long time, he suddenly opened his eyes. He opened his eyes.
The car stopped?
