Chapter 252 Struggle

Lieutenant Jong had been a police officer for a long time. Within only 10 minutes, he had successfully brought Vice President Hua Hai in.

The vice president of the Li Group, Hua Hai, was a middle-aged man with small, narrow eyes. His face and body were plump. He was wearing a dark green suit.

It was quite funny because he was so fat that the suit was tight on him.

Hua Hai’s facial expression clearly showed anger. It was because he had been dragged down here while he was talking business with an important guest of his.

He complained, yet he gave in. He did not want to anger the police.

However, the moment he stepped into the meeting room, he stopped short when he saw Li Cong Tian.

‘What’s this about? Why is Li Cong Tian here?’

Hua Hai’s heart squeezed a little. He could not help but feel uneasy.

‘Is it because they already know about what I did?!?’

‘Impossible! My plan was flawless and Feng Chao has already been made the scapegoat in this case.’

Hua Hai thought this to himself repeatedly.

He felt more at ease when he was certain that it was not about the embezzlement.

“Inspector, I’ve brought you the suspect, Hua Hai.” Lieutenant Jong saluted and reported to Xu Xin Tong.

It had been easy for him to search for Hua Hai. Even though he did not know what Hua Hai looked like, he’d simply asked the man who was in charge of the company’s employee data.

The other two police officers also saluted, yet they did not say anything. It was what they had to do in front of their superior anyway.

“Suspect?” Hua Hai’s facial expression changed a little. “What suspect?”

He was standing in front of the meeting table, giving Xu Xin Tong, Li Cong Tian, and Bai Chen a confused look.

BANG!

Li Cong Tian slapped his palm onto the table hard. He was so angry, his face was twisted.

“How dare you act like you don’t know anything?” Li Cong Tian’s cold voice echoed loudly throughout the room. “Look at this then!”

Li Cong Tian threw the accounting ledger forward.

Thud!

The accounting ledger fell in front of Hua Hai.

Hua Hai looked at it. Once he saw it, his body trembled. His eyes widened so that they almost popped out of their sockets. His face showed utter disbelief. “I…Impossible!

It was obvious that Hua Hai was familiar with the accounting ledger, even though he had just gotten a glimpse at it.

Why would he not be? He was the one who’d created it!

“Anything else you have to say?” Li Cong Tian shouted coldly. He did not want to believe that Hua Hai would dare betray him. He embezzled as much as 500 million yuan.

Not only that, but he’d also accused his co-worker, Feng Chao.

It was impossible for Li Cong Tian to not be angry!

“P…President, this is not mine. I am being framed! There must be someone who is framing me!”

Hua Hai shouted this out. His face had turned pale. His body trembled without stopping. He looked at Li Cong Tian and shook his head back and forth like an oscillating fan.

“Being framed? You haven’t even looked at it to see what it is, and now you say you’re being framed? Framed for what?” Li Cong Tian spoke coldly through his teeth.

Seeing how Hua Hai had reacted after he saw the accounting ledger was enough to show that he was the owner!

“A…Ahh!” Hua Hai was speechless. He regretted that he had been so anxious, he had given himself away.

‘Damn it! I should have acted like I didn’t know what it was!’ Hua Hai thought while trying to find a way out. ‘There must be a way out! I don’t want to go to jail!’

“Arrest him.” Xu Xin Tong spoke before Hua Hai had a chance to say anything more.

The two officers acted in accordance with the order. They seized Hua Hai by the arms and immediately handcuffed him. Hua Hai did not have a chance to do anything.

“L…Let me go! Let me go!” Hua Hai shouted. His face was pale. He struggled like a madman.

However, his struggle was in vain due to the handcuffs and the two police officers who were holding him. He could not fight at all.

Lieutenant Jong walked towards him and grabbed the accounting ledger. He spoke to Hua Hai with an even tone of voice, “Behave yourself.”

“You!” Hua Hai was angry. However, he was actually more scared than angry. He did not want to go to jail. He wanted to live a happy, comfortable life.

“Take him to the station and charge him to the full extent of the law,” Xu Xin Tong said. “Oh, and don’t forget to release the scapegoat.”

“Yes, inspector.” Lieutenant Jong and the other two officers resolutely acknowledged the order and saluted. They were ready to take Hua Hao to Xing Zhou city police station.

Before they could do that, Hua Hai suddenly shouted. He stared fixedly at Li Cong Tian.

“P…President Li, I really had nothing to do with this. I know who actually embezzled within the company!”

Li Cong Tian, however, did not care about what Hua Hai was saying. He did not want to believe what Hua Hai said anymore, otherwise, there would definitely be another scapegoat in this case.

“Take him,” Xu Xin Tong said again.

She had not been in charge of this case from the beginning, but after hearing everything from Li Cong Tian, she thought the same thing. She thought that Hua Hai’s words were nonsense. That was why she did not want Hua Hai to say anything more.

Hua Hai’s facial expression changed drastically. He started to show agitation and fear. If this continued, he would certainly be put in jail.

And he would be in there for many years because it was as much as 500 million yuan that he had embezzled.

“I…It was not me alone. There’s someone else, too!”

Hua Hai gritted his teeth and said this aloud, possibly due to fear.

It was a shame that Li Cong Tian did not care. Xu Xin Tong was slightly interested because it sounded possible, but she did not say a word. It would not be too late to leave it to the interrogation team at the station.

However, a certain someone was very much interested in this. It was Bai Chen, as this was related to his completing the mission he had been assigned.

“Let him talk.” He spoke without hesitation.End of Chapter 252
