Upon hearing this, Fang Lilan’s complexion turned pale.
Bai Qinghao had actually found out about her hidden foreign bank accounts and private properties. His connections were truly frighteningly wide!
Long Shuhai was really upset as he turned to look at Fang Lilan.
She had told him that all the money was invested in the Fang Group funds. In that case, why did she have such a large sum in her foreign bank accounts?
This woman really hid it well.
Zhang Yuanzhi interrogated her with an expressionless face. “Ms. Fang, we’ve thoroughly investigated everything that you own. Do you still dare to say that you have no money?”
After being backed into a corner, Fang Lilan was no longer afraid of death. She stopped crying and shouted out. “So what if I have money? I refuse to give it to you!”
What could they possibly do to her?
“Come!” Bai Qinghao shouted, “Take Fang Lilan and…”
Before he could continue, Fang Lilan became fearful that he would punish her. “CEO Bai, I am your future mother-in-law. No matter what, you have to take Xinxin into consideration! You can’t use force against me!”
Bai Qinghao glanced at Fang Xinxin and continued in an unfazed manner. “In that case, I will give Fang Xinxin some face. Zhang Yuanzhi, tell her about the legal matters.”
“Yes, sir.”
Zhang Yuanzhi said in a stern manner, “Ms. Zhang Lilan, the money our CEO gave to you was not for you or the Fang family. It was meant for Fang Xinxin alone. This was properly written in the contracts. Each time you collected the money, you signed the contract with Fang Xinxin’s name. However, you are not Fang Xinxin. The Sheng Shi Group can pursue this by suing you for fraud. You’ve scammed more than a billion dollars out of the Sheng Shi Group. This alone would be sufficient for you to be jailed for the rest of your life. Would you prefer to stay in jail forever, or would you prefer to return the money?”
Fang Lilan’s face was bloodless now. She begged Bai Qinghao in a frightened voice. “CEO Bai, you can’t actually be planning to send me to jail, right?”
Bai Qinghao’s face remained expressionless. He pinched the cigarette butt and tossed it into the ashtray. “It seems like Director Fang still does not wish to return the money. Toss her in the jail. She is to stay locked up for the rest of her life. No one is allowed to bail her out!”
Two bodyguards immediately held Fang Lilan’s arms and started to drag her out.
Fang Lilan was genuinely flustered now. She began shouting at Fang xinxin. “Xinxin, you have to beg CEO Bai for me. He will definitely listen to you. He will definitely give you face!”
“Mom, CEO Bai has already given me face by not using force against you.” Fang Xinxin shrugged carelessly. “Although I would love to help, there’s nothing more that I can do.”
She wanted the Fang family to spit out all the money they had taken from the Bai family. How could she possibly speak up for her?
Fang Manxue watched in agitation as her mother was dragged further and further away. She was helpless. “Uu… uu…”
Long Shuhai wanted to help Fang Lilan but his own life was at stake. He was completely flustered. “Lilan, you have to return the money! CEO Bai never goes back on his word. Once you go inside the jail, you really won’t be able to escape from there for the rest of your life. Money can still be earned back!”
Fang Lilan seemed to become enlightened by his words.
In the past, the Bai family only used to give expensive gifts to the Fang family during special festivities. They did not give them any financial support.
The current sum owed had been accumulated over the past seven years. But there were still a lot of seven years ahead of them. As long as they managed to please Bai Qinghao again, the money could be earned again!
She screamed haplessly. “CEO Bai, I don’t want to be jailed! I’ll pay! I’ll pay every single cent!”
Bai Qinghao gave the bodyguards a look and they finally let go of Fang Lilan’s elbows.
Zhang Yuanzhi glanced at her coldly. “Ms. Fang Lilan, if you had decided to return the money earlier, would there have been this much drama?”
Fang Lilan smiled stiffly. She did not have the strength to speak up.
It was more than a billion dollars. After placing it into her pocket, she was forced to spit it back out. This was akin to asking for half of her life. Was she supposed to give it up so easily?
