Chapter 135: Chapter 86: Wouldn't It Be Fine as Long as There Are No Commissions? (Extra for Alliance Hierarch Tsutsui Ayame, Lightning Silver Wolf)_4

Forget about the housing authorities, we already went at it last time, and the outcome was beyond anyone's expectation. We can only negotiate with the developer now.

However, Yao Yuehua's words only made her shout louder, "What about Li Shuwei? Don't you know he's already been locked up? All the top executives of Jin Ma Company have been incarcerated, and the case has already reached the prosecutor's office!"

Zhang, the bank manager, was dumbfounded, as he hadn't been paying attention to the situation recently. Li Shuwei was supposed to be so powerful, so how did he get locked up so easily?

But shout as she might, problems require solutions. Manager Jia from legal affairs was soon called in; she was also an insider and beneficiary of the unauthorized loans.

After carefully examining the materials for a while, Manager Jia spoke up, "Manager Zhang, did you just say that Li Shuwei has been arrested? What's the reason?"

Yao Yuehua thought for a moment and said, "It must be because of the misappropriation of funds. Aside from that, I don't know anything else."

"If it truly is about the misappropriation of funds, that's easier to deal with. Manager Zhang, we now need to confirm if that's the case. Seeing that Li Shuwei has been arrested, he must have family outside. We can contact his family to confirm."

"If it really is about misappropriation of funds, then we should apply with the court to postpone the proceedings. After all, with Li Shuwei as a defendant, his criminal case is closely related to our case."

"The rules state criminal cases precede civil ones, so our application for a postponement should be accepted."

With the postponement applied for, we can figure out a way to slowly resolve this matter.

...

In the detention center of Bright District, Li Shuwei was watching the evening news broadcast with others in the room—one of the few entertainment activities they had inside.

Outside, the last thing he wanted to watch was the evening news, but in here, it was a must.

Li Shuwei, however, was feeling pretty good. After speaking with Lawyer Han last time and analyzing a lot, he knew his situation was serious, but Lawyer Han had said they could find a way.

They could aim for a lighter sentence and then, while inside, strive for merit, apply for medical parole, so he wouldn't have to serve for too long.

What he needed to do was to ensure his money was kept safe as he would need it after getting out of prison.

After hanging up, Old Han was baffled. The man was already behind bars—what's the point of suing him?

Soon after, Lv Yazhen arrived at the firm with Wang Yanlong. Han didn't know much, but he had managed to get Yan Long out without much effort.

"Lawyer Han, this is the situation: those homeowners are now suing my husband to pay for the continued construction of the community. Someone claiming to be from the Jingzhou Bank asked if my husband was arrested for misappropriating funds, but I haven't responded."

"Lawyer Han, what should we do now?"

Old Han looked at the indictment before him and was stunned for a while, thinking to himself, had Tang Fangjing really pushed things this far?

After reading the indictment, he understood the plaintiff's intention: they wanted to ensure the handover of properties.

"Ms. Lv, let me analyze the situation for you. Right now, it can be said that most of your husband's assets are bound to be recovered—don't doubt the economic investigation unit's methods. As long as you've been involved, traces will have been left."

"Once recovered, the money will belong to Jin Ma Company. The company is not bankrupt; they only need to change the legal representative. And by initiating this lawsuit, they can ensure that the money is put back in circulation..."

Having money on the books and being able to spend it are two different things.

As for resuming construction, Old Han himself knew various tricks, like staged resumptions; there would be a lot of room to maneuver when the time came. With almost forty million involved, even a slight leak would be significant.

But with this lawsuit, the bank and housing authorities would be the responsible parties, obligated to ensure the completion of construction. Then the situation would be totally different, possibly leading the housing department to take direct control, which would detach from Jin Ma Company's responsibilities.

"The person from the bank is verifying if it's a case of misappropriating funds and wants to apply for a postponement first, right? I think that's doable," Old Han continued.

"But even if we postpone the case, won't we have to go to court eventually? That Tang Fangjing is like a madman," interjected Yan Long.

"You guys, Tang Fangjing only seems a bit crazy. He's not actually insane. You can contact the homeowners!"

Hearing this, Yan Long paused. Indeed, why should they focus solely on Tang Fangjing?

If no one else commissioned him, he wouldn't keep chasing them, would he? He couldn't be truly mad.
