With Qi Yuji taking over the company, Qi Xingchen no longer had to worry about time allocation. At 8: 40 in the morning, Bai Ye received a call from Mr. Bai.
They had already checked the car's license plate from yesterday. It was not forged and belonged to a neighboring province.
Coming all the way to the tax bureau …
It was even more bizarre.
When he spoke to Mr. Bai, Bai Ye put it on speaker mode. Hearing the silence from the younger generation, Mr. Bai said, "If you think it's strange, I'll get someone to check the car's phone records."
Qi Xingchen asked a particularly childish question. "Can you find it?"
"At your level, you definitely can't." Mr. Bai smiled. "But I can. Wait for my news."
Qi Xingchen glanced at Bai Ye.
Bai Ye quickly looked down and pretended not to hear anything.
Bai Ye had just hung up when Qi Xingchen's phone vibrated again.
It was a text from an unknown number.
[See you at Xiao He Restaurant on Riverside Road at 10am. Xu Changlin.]
Xu Changlin had indeed contacted him. It seemed that his analysis yesterday was correct.
Qi Xingchen looked at the time. It was already past 9am. Riverside Road was quite far. He put on his clothes and left with Bai Ye.
On the way, Qi Xingchen remembered that Bai Ye had not eaten in the morning. Afraid that he would be hungry, Qi Xingchen asked him to stop by the roadside.
After choosing some milk and bread, Qi Xingchen went to the cashier to pay. The lady boss counted the money and said suspiciously, "Young man, you and a celebrity … what's her name? She looks a lot like you."
"Really?" Qi Xingchen pulled up the payment PIN and said, "A lot of people say that."
"It's true … Look at my brain, I can't think of the celebrity's name. Sigh, young man, your WeChat PIN doesn't work. "
Qi Xingchen changed his Alipay PIN again, but he still couldn't swipe it. Fortunately, there was some change in his wallet. Otherwise, he would have to borrow money from Bai Ye.
Back in the car, he and Bai Ye had a simple meal. While eating, she couldn't help but think, "Did Daddy and Big Brother have breakfast? What did he eat?
The Qi Family was used to eating delicate food, so how could they stand the coarse food from the big pot?
When would she be able to see her father and brother?
The more he thought about it, the more his nose turned sour. He suddenly remembered a dream he had last year.
In the dream, the Qi family's company was seized, their house was auctioned off, their father and brother were taken away, and her sister kept running around for her family.
At that time, he thought that it was a dream. Now that he thought about it, it was very likely what happened to the Qi Family when he transmigrated.
This time, no matter what method he used, he would not let the Qi Family fall to the point of bankruptcy.
After throwing away the garbage bags, the two of them continued to drive along the riverside road. At the door, Qi Xingchen unbuckled his seatbelt, but Bai Ye said, "Wait a minute."
Qi Xingchen didn't understand.
"We still don't know which side Xu Changlin is on. If you go in rashly now, you might fall into his trap. Observe for a while."
After a pause, Bai Ye continued, "Also, at this time, whoever arrives early will be more anxious. The anxious party will be easily manipulated. You don't have as much experience as him to begin with, so you must not be at a disadvantage."
Bai Ye's words made sense. Qi Xingchen sat back down and carefully observed the surroundings with him. At 9: 45, Xu Changlin got out of the car and entered the restaurant alone.
After observing for another ten minutes and seeing that there were no abnormalities, Bai Ye said, "It's about time. You can go. I'll wait here. Call me if you need anything."
Qi Xingchen nodded. Before getting out of the car, Bai Ye held his hand.
With the warmth of his lover's body, Qi Xingchen suddenly felt that the road ahead might not be so difficult.
The private room was on the second floor. After going up the stairs and closing the door, Qi Xingchen sat down opposite Xu Changlin and said politely, "Uncle Xu, I'm here."
Xu Changlin's face was dark. "Didn't the Qi family teach you to arrive early when talking to the elders?"
"Sorry, there was a traffic jam on the way." Qi Xingchen said indifferently, "And I'm not late."
Xu Changlin waved his hand. "… Forget it. I won't argue with the younger generation. I checked yesterday. The Qi family was the one who changed the charge to fraud, but then someone increased the amount involved, and the sentence was increased to five years. Do you have any clues? "
Qi Xingchen frowned. "I don't have any clues for now. But if I'm not wrong, the purpose of increasing the amount is to make you mistakenly think that I increased Xu Sheng's sentence and use your revenge mentality to deal with the Qi family. "
Xu Changlin sneered. "What a good way to kill with a borrowed knife."
Hearing the resentment in his voice, Qi Xingchen changed the topic. "That's right. It's equivalent to selling you out. You have to count the money for the other party."
Xu Changlin's face was even worse. He clenched his fists on the table so hard that the veins on the back of his hands bulged.
When they were on set, Qi Xingchen knew that Xu Sheng's father was a nouveau riche who owned a mine. Generally speaking, this kind of person had a bad temper. Qi Xingchen took the opportunity to ask, "Do you have any suspects in mind? For example … Who asked you to ask Director Li to run away with the money?"
"Yes, it's funny." Xu Changlin gritted his teeth. "It's the woman that my unfilial son wanted to bully."
The woman that Xu Sheng wanted to bully …
The moment he heard these words, Qi Xingchen blacked out. He felt that it was unbelievable, but also reasonable.
— — It's really her!
Qi Xingchen calmed down for a moment. "You're talking about Tao Tao, right?"
"Yes."
"Then I have something to ask you. Please answer truthfully." Qi Xingchen said with difficulty, "Do you know about the fire in Tiancheng?"
He didn't ask if Tao Tao asked Xu Changlin to do it, because Xu Changlin wouldn't admit it.
Admitting it was equivalent to committing arson, and he would have to bear legal responsibility.
Xu Changlin said without hesitation, "I made many engineer friends in the mine. After she found me, the first thing she asked me to do was to figure out the circuit layout of Tiancheng Shopping Center and the general plan of the fire prevention project. At that time, I didn't understand why she asked this. I didn't know until something happened to your shopping center. "
In order to pull back the plot, he even did such a heartless thing. Qi Xingchen was so angry that his hands couldn't stop shaking.
Or it could be said that it wasn't just to pull back the plot. As a Mary Sue romance novel, "The Peach of the Night" was going the wrong way.
Tao Tao didn't just want to destroy the Qi family. How could any egg remain intact when the nest was overturned? If the Qi family collapsed, he wouldn't be any better.
Perhaps Tao Tao wanted to get rid of him even more.
Qi Xingchen was stunned for a moment, and an indescribable feeling rose in his heart.
Perhaps it was because of his existence that his father and brother had suffered so much that they shouldn't have.
Now was not the time to think about these things. Qi Xingchen took a deep breath. "Uncle, what do you think now?"
"What do I think?" Xu Changlin gritted his teeth. "My son's revenge must be avenged!"
Then it would be easy. Qi Xingchen said, "Our goal is the same. You must have evidence of contact with Tao Tao, right? You can take it out, and we can discuss what to do next. "
"Evidence …" Xu Changlin's face was even worse. "I don't have any evidence."
This was also one of the reasons why he was angry.
No evidence? Qi Xingchen paused. "You didn't contact each other?"
"No, she was very vigilant. Not only did we not contact each other, but every time she called me, she also used a virtual number. If we met, she would choose the location. I asked later, there were no cameras near the places she chose. "
He thought that he could seize the opportunity to turn the tables, but he didn't expect to be even more desperate. Qi Xingchen couldn't control himself for a moment, and his shoulders slumped.
Then, he heard Xu Changlin say, "But after the last time we met, I saw her get into a white car with a red license plate. The license plate number was …"
.
Qi Xingchen didn't understand how Tao Tao increased Xu Sheng's sentence with her power alone, and how the relevant departments paid attention to the Qi family. After talking with Xu Changlin, he now understood everything.
Now the two of them were in the same boat. Only by working together could they possibly defeat Tao Tao. Qi Xingchen asked Xu Changlin to send him the call records, regardless of whether it was a virtual number or not. Then he contacted his engineer friend to see if he could find evidence of Tao Tao hiring arson. He was responsible for investigating the car Tao Tao got into.
When they left the restaurant, in order to prevent reporters from following them and accidentally exposing the news of their meeting, Xu Changlin left first, and Qi Xingchen waited for more than 20 minutes before going out. Bai Ye welcomed him into the car and asked, "How was it? Did it go smoothly?"
Qi Xingchen: "It went smoothly, but it didn't go smoothly. What went smoothly was … "
Five minutes later, Bai Ye and Qi Xingchen were in disbelief.
"For the sake of a plot, she can sacrifice more than a dozen lives. Is she still human?"
"Forget it, don't mention her. Brother Ye, accompany me to see my father. "
Bai Ye nodded and drove to the detention center as he was told. When he passed the restaurant's parking lot toll card, Qi Xingchen habitually took out his mobile phone and scanned the code.
A few seconds later, the page showed that the payment failed.
When he paid at the convenience store, the boss scanned his payment code, which might cause problems with a poor network connection or a bug in the payment code. However, when he scanned the parking lot's code and still couldn't pay, it meant that there was something wrong with his bank card.
Embarrassed, he watched Bai Ye pay and walk to the detention center. On the way, Qi Xingchen called the bank's account manager, wanting to ask what was wrong with his bank card. After all, he couldn't do things without money.
The account manager promised to help him check, and soon replied, "Mr. Qi, your account is in a state of judicial freeze. Now, the funds can only go in, but not out."
… Frozen by judicial freeze?
Qi Xingchen was stunned and was about to ask about his sister's situation. The next moment, Qi Yuji's call came first.
"Xing Xing, two things. First, the tickets were leaked by a subsidiary company in S Province. I've already informed the local person in charge to check the video. The results will be out in a day or two. "
"Second, the company just received a penalty notice from the Securities Regulatory Commission. The CSRC believes that Qi Corporation is suspected of malicious short-selling. Now, everyone's private accounts, securities accounts, fixed assets, and so on are frozen and fined 8.3 billion yuan. The available funds on the company's books and the money in our accounts have all been transferred. A total of 3.1 billion yuan, now … "
"We still need 5.2 billion yuan."
