Chapter 2066: Unexpected Discoveries of the Case
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Auntie, what do you want to do?”
Yan Ci asked, turning to look at Tang Li instead of expressing her own opinion.
Given what had happened, it was up to Tang Li to decide whether they should stay or leave.
“Let’s leave it for another day,” Tang Li said wearily.
“Everyone, step aside, step aside! I won’t be responsible if I hit someone.”
Lin Yi called out as he stepped on the gas, driving away under the watchful eyes of the Chen family, without giving Chen Youjun any face.
Chen Youjun didn’t get angry at this but turned to Fu Jinglan and said coldly,
“This mess is your doing. You better fix it, or you’ll be in big trouble.”
Fu Jinglan’s face turned pale with fear, and she nearly collapsed to the ground.
Meanwhile, Lin Yi and the others had left and drove to a barbecue restaurant to settle their dinner plans.
During dinner, Tang Li and Zhou Xinyu became visibly tense around Lin Yi.
They realized that the respect they received from the Chen family was entirely due to him.
But what exactly was Lin Yi’s background that made the Chen family so fearful?
A police officer shouldn’t wield that much influence, right?
“Yan Yan, what exactly does Little Yi do? Why are the Chen family so afraid of him?” Tang Li asked curiously.
“He’s a police officer, I told you before.”
“If he’s just a police officer, that shouldn’t make the Chen family act like that. Does he have other identities?”
“Well, he also owns a company worth several hundred billion yuan,” Yan Ci said, casually picking up a piece of grilled meat.
“And he has a very good relationship with the city leaders. Chen Teng’s father must have recognized him.”
“A company worth several hundred billion yuan?”
Tang Li and Zhou Xinyu were stunned, their mouths agape.
A person like that could easily be among the top ten richest people in Huaxia, right?
But then again, if he didn’t have that kind of money, he probably wouldn’t be living in a place like the Jiuzhou Pavilion.
“They’ve summoned the parties from both families, but when they reviewed the evidence, they found a major issue.”
“What kind of issue?”
“Brother Lin, don’t get upset. Let me explain,” Zhang Zixin said.
“The court staff said that based on the current evidence, the house and cash shouldn’t go to Zhang Lixia. They should go to Pang Lanyuan.”
“What? To Pang Lanyuan?”
The news hit Lin Yi like a hammer.
It seemed utterly impossible.
Even if the court ruled in Zhang Guoping’s favor, they wouldn’t award the estate to his wife, Pang Lanyuan. It just didn’t make sense.
“Are you sure there isn’t a mistake? The court ruled in Pang Lanyuan’s favor? She’s just Zhang Lixia’s sister-in-law. How could she end up with everything?”
“There’s something we didn’t know,” Zhang Zixin said.
“After Zhang Lixia’s father made his will, he passed away. But the issue involves the transfer of property. Since the house was originally under Zhang Lixia’s name, if she suddenly acquired more properties, she’d have to pay a lot of taxes. So, they transferred everything to her husband’s name.
“Also, her husband had always managed the family’s finances, so they transferred the cash to his account as well. The court ruled this way because Li Wenguang signed a property transfer agreement, leaving everything to Pang Lanyuan. That’s why this situation arose.”
“But why would Li Wenguang transfer the money to Pang Lanyuan?” Lin Yi asked.
“Could it be that, as a brother-in-law, he was having an affair with his sister-in-law?”
“Although such things do happen, our investigation showed that Li Wenguang was a very upright person. He had no bad habits and no unnecessary social engagements. He never even stayed out all night in all the years he was married. So, an affair seems unlikely.”
“Where’s the transfer agreement signed by Li Wenguang? Let me take a look.”
Zhang Zixin took out her phone and handed Lin Yi a photo she had taken of the document.
“October 6th?”
Lin Yi murmured.
“Li Wenguang died on October 10th. That means he should have been hospitalized on the 6th.”
“I spoke with Dr. Liu in the hepatobiliary surgery department. He said that Li Wenguang was in fairly good condition that day and could move around a bit. So, this transfer agreement should be valid.”
After a few moments of silence, Lin Yi spoke up,
“Based on the evidence we have, it’s unlikely that Li Wenguang would have done this. So, there’s a possibility that the transfer agreement was forged.”
“Forged?” Zhang Zixin echoed. “Brother Lin, do you mean that someone forced Li Wenguang to sign this agreement? But the handwriting doesn’t look forced, and there’s even a clear fingerprint on it.”
“That’s just one possibility. The date could have been tampered with.”
