Chapter 150: All Detained (Part one)
Just when Hetian was talking, his subordinate came over again with a phone and bowed as he said, “Sir, this is already the 20th call from the clients.”
Hetian looked at his subordinate, a bit shocked and angry. “Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”
His underling bitterly smiled and only wished to kill himself right now. I wanted to tell you earlier but you facking told me to get the fack out! What else can I do?
Hetian took over the phone and answered, “h.e.l.lo?”
“Mr. Hetian? You finally answered the call.”
“President Zhang, what happened?”
President Zhang nervously said, “The GPS is showing that my driver’s still inside Shangcheng and hasn’t left the city.”
Hetian was slightly annoyed. “What happened? Didn’t you say that this driver’s reliable? Did he see the cash and try to run away with it?”
President Zhang: “I’m not worried about that, I’m worried that he got detained by the police or something. I called him many times and no one’s picking up.”
Hetian’s eyes became slightly bigger. “Detained? Hold on, let me call someone.”
Then, he hung up the call and said to his subordinate, “Give me the list of the clients that are responsible for transporting cash this morning.”
His subordinate nodded and took out a list from his suit pocket.
Hetian began calling one by one down the list.
“h.e.l.lo? Mr. Li, I’m Hetian.”
“Mr. Hetian, you finally answered your phone, I needed to tell you something! My driver and the car didn’t leave Shangcheng at all but actually drove in the opposite direction. I tracked the GPS and saw the car is actually at a police station!”
“What?!” Hetian shouted, almost swearing.
After hanging up, he called another number. “h.e.l.lo? Mr. Lin, did the money safely get out of the city yet?”
The other end of the call fell silent for a moment. “My driver’s not answering, the car didn’t leave the city at all!”
“Fack!” Hetian became furious as he hang up the call.
“Mr. Hetian, don’t get anxious. You sent off so many cars today, it’s normal for a few to get caught.”
Hetian pondered for a second and thought those words were true. He was indeed too fixated on perfection. He only made three calls and there were 50 more to go. Three cars was only about 250 million, which was acceptable if there wasn’t anymore cars that got caught.
At the thought of this, Hetian immediately dialed more.
“h.e.l.lo, I’m Hetian…”
“Mr. Hetian, my driver got detained!”
The corner of Hetian’s mouth shivered as he let out a breath. “I got it.”
He hung up and dialed another number. The moment the call went through, the other end anxiously said, “Mr. Hetian, let me say this again, our company is not responsible for this.”
Hetian’s eyes narrowed. “Your car got detained?”
“Yes.”
Hetian hung up, he leaned against the sofa dejectedly. He directly gave his phone to his subordinate and said, “You call. Put it on speaker.”
His man nodded and called the next number. The moment it connected, the other side asked, “Mr. Hetian, did you get the money? My driver’s not picking up the call.”
Hetian disappointingly closed his eyes as he listened to the client on the other end still shirking his responsibilities.
Chapter 150: All Detained (Part two)
Finally, Hetian replied in a deep voice, “Mr. Ren, you are saying we detained your guy?”
“Mr. Hetian, I know it’s a lot of money, but I have to declare first that we won’t be compensating you for the money seized by the police. That’s what we agreed on in the first place.”
Hetian directly grabbed the phone and smashed it onto the floor! His entire face was twisted from anger!
Zuozhi just sat there and looked at him, as if he was smiling but also as if he wasn’t. “Looks like you are right, that police officer is indeed very powerful. Such skills, that t.i.tle is indeed well-deserved.”
At the mention of Xu Cheng, Hetian gritted his teeth, really wanting to bite him to death. He took a deep breath and directly said to his subordinate, “Call the people outside of the city responsible for accepting the funds. Ask them how many cars had arrived at their place since this morning, and how much money was transported.”
His subordinate nodded and immediately called as he placed the phone closer to Hetian afterward.
“Boss.”
“Did you guys receive any cash? How many cars?”
The other end of the line immediately replied, “We waited since this morning and didn’t see any cars from the list you gave me! What’s happening?”
“What?” Hetian immediately grabbed over the phone. “Say that again, you guys haven’t received any vehicles?”
“No, we even thought that the operation was canceled, but we are still waiting here by the restaurant and haven’t seen a single car from that list.”
“Fack!” Hetian threw his phone again. This time, he was completely furious as he shot up from the sofa. With bloodshot eyes, his whole body was shivering from rage. “Xu Cheng… I want you dead!”
– The Police HQ –
The other departments were all curious why the big parking lot at their HQ had a batch of luxury cars detained, with many within the million-dollar price range. There were about 80 cars in total, and they were neatly lined up at the parking lot with the drivers hand-cuffed and being walked into the HQ in a line.
Seeing this scene, Ran Jing curiously asked Li Chao, who was leading that line of drivers. “What’s this? Why are there so many boss-level cars?”
Li Chao nodded. “Captain Ran, each car had 50 to 200 million in cash hidden inside them and were all being used to transport black money from the underground money house. Thank G.o.d our boss discovered them all and detained them.”
The jaws of everyone that heard that almost dropped.
Then, as they saw the criminal police officers carrying in bags after bags of cash into the HQ, everyone was dumbfounded.
This facking Team 2, it seemed like they were really stirring s.h.1.t up these days!
Ran Jing looked at the money and then asked, “How much is it this time?”
Li Chao: “Rough estimate, about 10 billion yuan, all black money.”
The others all didn’t know what to say or how to react. They all looked enviously at the busy Team 2 members. Recently, Team 2’s name had been everywhere, and from top to bottom, all the supervisors in the police HQ were using them as positive teaching material. Before Team 2 was even properly awarded the merit of taking down West Gate, they went after the underground money house, and then something this big happened just in two days. Everyone was extremely curious. Since when did the two cases that had been troubling them for years suddenly become so easy?
Ran Jing pulled Li Chao’s sleeves and asked, “Where’s your boss?”
“He’s still busy, he went with Wu Gang to visit those car owners. Boss seems to be really determined to catch the underground money house.”
On the other side, Xu Cheng and Wu Gang arrived at a pretty reputable company in the city. He just directly said to the receptionist at the lobby, “I want to see your chairman.”
“Sorry, do you have an appointment?”
Xu Cheng directly took out his badge and said, “We are from the criminal investigation unit, it’s about your chairman’s driver being detained for hiding 200 million black cash in his car. I hope he can cooperate with our investigation.”
