Chapter 919: Zhang Jiasen Was Back?
Embezzled and accepted bribes?
What was going on? Why would something like this happen?
Zhang Jiasen’s first thought was that Xue Manman had betrayed him. Xue Manman was the only one that knew about these things.
Zhang Jiasen was escorted out of the office. On the way, he encountered people looking at him with all sorts of stares. It felt like execution to him.
Just a few minutes ago, he had still been the omnipotent CEO, but now he was about to go to jail.
When Xue Manman, who was hiding at the side, saw this, she was so frightened that her face turned completely pale. She got her bag and hastily rushed back to Tangchen. The first thing she did was get out a suitcase and sweep all the makeup and jewelry on the table into the suitcase.
Then she opened the closet to stuff all the clothes into the suitcase. When she seriously couldn’t fit anything else anymore, she found another case and put her shoes, the shower gel from the restroom, and everything in it.
On one hand, she was eliminating the traces of her having lived in this house. On the other hand, these things were all very expensive so Xue Manman treasured them a lot.
Xue Manman’s heart was beating very quickly. She recalled the scene of Zhang Jiasen being taken away and had to try hard to make herself calm down. It was fine, it would definitely be alright.
Zhang Jiasen was amazing, and there was also Miao Miaomiao. Miao Miaomiao loved Zhang Jiasen so much, so she’d definitely get him out.
There was the Miao family behind Zhang Jiasen. As long as the Miao family didn’t pursue this matter, Zhang Jiasen would be fine.
Xue Manman couldn’t figure out how things got exposed. She was extremely scared that she would be implicated.
Just as Xue Manman was pulling the suitcases towards the door, there came the sound of the door unlocking.
Xue Manman’s heart jumped. The only people that had keys to this house was her and Zhang Jiasen. Could it be that Zhang Jiasen was back?
The door opened and several men came in. When they saw Xue Manman, they directly said, “You must be Xue Manman. You’re suspected of helping cover up a crime and participating in money laundering. You don’t have the right to take a single item from this house.”
Xue Manman had clearly known that Zhang Jiasen was embezzling from the company, but she didn’t report it to the police and had helped cover things up for Zhang Jiasen. She used the money that Zhang Jiasen had illegally obtained to buy things and jewelry to help Zhang Jiasen shift his assets. Hence, she was guilty of money laundering as well.
When Xue Manman heard this, she started shaking her head in a panic. “I didn’t! I didn’t commit any crimes.”
“Right now, according to legal proceedings, the stolen goods must be returned. You can’t take the things from this house. Also, you’re under arrest,” said the police.
The police reached out to take Xue Manman’s luggage. Xue Manman held the suitcase tightly as she said, “These things belong to me! Why can’t I take my things?”
“Everything in this house will be going under inspection.” When the leading police officer saw Xue Manman being like this, he said to the others, “Cuff her and put the items back in the house for the people from court to inspect.”
Xue Manman was escorted onto a police car. She was so scared that tears overflowed. However, to the police, she was just a criminal. No matter how pitifully she cried, no one would feel any sympathy for her.
Xue Manman was brought to a detention center and faced criminal detention.
She was very scared. After this incident, what would she do for the rest of her life? And her relationship with Zhang Jiasen was going to be exposed as well.
Things had happened too suddenly, so Xue Manman was extremely scared. What exactly was she supposed to do? How did the police find the house in Tangchen?
As Ning Shu was simmering the medicinal dish at home, Father Miao got a phone call from one of the company secretaries. When he found out that Zhang Jiasen had been taken by the police, he said to Ning Shu, “Isn’t it bad to make things this big? It’s probably not good for the company’s image.”
