"At first, Mingyuan Culture belonged to him," Li Mingyuan said disappointedly. "At that time, it was called Xing Lang Company, which mainly dealt in the book business. After I graduated from college, I applied for a job there. Then, Xin Lang hired me …"
Hearing Li Mingyuan tell the truth, Zhao Yu quickly gave Mou Yongen a look. Mou Yongen then took the female star, Pang Qianqian, away.
At the same time, Zeng Ke went to the living room next door and used his laptop to look up information about Xin Lang.
Zhao Yu quietly turned on the recording function of his mobile phone and continued to listen to Li Mingyuan's confession.
"Xin Lang is six years older than me. He is a low-key person and doesn't like to talk," Li Mingyuan said. "So, I was in charge of many public events, as well as negotiating contracts.
I did a good job, so I gradually gained his trust. But, I didn't expect that, when we expanded our business and the company officially took off, he actually made me the chairman! "
"It felt like a dream!" Li Mingyuan recalled. "He even changed the name of the company to Mingyuan Culture Company. That wasn't just a feeling of being flattered. I even regarded him as my benefactor, my second parent."
He then said, "He told me that he was in poor health and didn't like social occasions, so he entrusted the company to me. He would only guide me from behind the scenes."
"At that time, I only wanted to do well in the company and repay his kindness. So, I didn't think about anything else … Until …" Li Mingyuan's eyes suddenly dimmed, forming a huge contrast from before. "When I came into contact with the top management of the company, I gradually realized that Xin Lang wasn't as great and simple as I thought."
He then added, "And, my company wasn't as good as it looked. Many of the start-up funds for many projects came from unknown sources."
Li Mingyuan swallowed and said helplessly, "Only then did I realize that my company was just a tool that Xin Lang used to launder money."
"But, at that time, I had no other way out." Li Mingyuan sighed and said, "Although I knew that the money came from unknown sources, I could only cooperate with him!
"Otherwise, everything I've obtained will be for naught. Because of this, I've never resisted or disobeyed him even once …
"You're right. Even though I know that I'm just a puppet, I still enjoy it. Because not only have I obtained great benefits, I've also obtained fame. I've obtained everything that I didn't even dare to think about in the past!
"With Xin Lang's support, my company grew bigger and bigger. In the publishing and film industries, I got to know so many famous directors, celebrities, and writers. Not only can I chat and laugh with them, but they also have many requests from me …
"I deeply understood that everything I had was given to me by Xin Lang. If I cast him aside and went on my own, I would be worthless, so … I lived like this …"
"Officer, I also know that doing that is illegal. I was also worried that something like this would happen today, but …" Li Mingyuan's eyes revealed a pleading look, "I really don't know … Xin Lang … What exactly does Xin Lang do, I really don't know …"
Hmph …
Zhao Yu hummed in his heart and thought to himself, "Do you think I'm stupid? Previously, when I mentioned putting your photo all over the neighborhood, you were scared like a coward. How could you not know what kind of shady business Xin Lang does? Do you think I'm stupid?
Also, since Xin Lang handed over such a big company to you, he would definitely let you participate in the internal business. How could you not know? "
However, Zhao Yu's main purpose was not that, so there was no need to expose him on the spot.
Not only was there no need to, but Zhao Yu also added fuel to the fire and comforted him, "If that's the case, then your crime is even lighter …
"The point is, we need to know about Zhizhen Tower now!"
"Zhizhen Tower, Zhizhen Tower … Oh … Oh …" Li Mingyuan answered in a hurry, "You're right, you're right. Regarding the sponsorship and renovation of Zhizhen Tower in He Yang Teacher College, it was all done by Xin Lang …"
"Officer, regarding this matter, I'm so wronged! I don't know anything at all, I was just listening to him … "
"So …" Zhao Yu asked, even though he already knew the answer, "You don't know about the corpse?"
"Of course, of course not!" Li Mingyuan beat his chest and stamped his feet, then said confidently, "I didn't even know that He Yang Teacher College was going to renovate the old building. For us, this kind of project is dispensable, or it's laborious and unrewarding, so we rarely do it anymore …"
"But, but Xin Lang asked me to take the initiative to contact the Education Commission and tell them that our company was willing to undertake this project. If Zhizhen Tower could be renovated into a museum, our company was willing to bear all the costs!"
"And … And, he also asked me to sell my feelings, so that the renovation could be done," Li Mingyuan said excitedly. "Because I also graduated from He Yang Teacher College, he asked me to sell my feelings, saying that I couldn't bear to see the building destroyed!
"Actually … Actually, I've never lived in Zhizhen Tower … Officer, regarding the corpse, it's impossible that it has anything to do with me …"
"So …" Zhao Yu asked, "Everything was Xin Lang's doing?"
"Yes!" Li Mingyuan said. "At first, it was quite smooth. I managed to convince the Education Commission and the people from the college to agree to the renovation plan. They also agreed to let our company come up with the renovation plan …"
"When I reported this to Xin Lang, he was quite happy …" Li Mingyuan said bitterly.
"But … Not long after, the situation suddenly changed …" Li Mingyuan said bitterly. "In the building, there was a corpse …"
"Sigh! Actually, when I heard that there was a corpse in Zhizhen Tower, I didn't think much of it. At worst, the renovation plan could be canceled, since we hadn't paid for it yet! "
"But, when Xin Lang came to me one day and scolded me for no reason, I suddenly realized that this matter might not be so simple!"
"I heard that the corpse was dug out from the dusty garbage tunnel. If our company hadn't intervened, the building might have been demolished. Once it was demolished, wouldn't the corpse be exposed?"
"But," Li Mingyuan swallowed again. "If our renovation plan had been successful, then the garbage tunnel would have been sealed forever, never to see the light of day again!"
"So, from then on, I … I began to realize a terrible thing …" Li Mingyuan rubbed his face and said, "Those dead people in the Tower of Perfection, it's possible … it's possible that they were all killed by Xin Lang!"
