Daily Intelligence System: Financial Independence

Gu Jianlong said, "A few of our colleagues went to your house to find you, and since you’re here, why don’t you come with us as well?"

"What? Me too? What’s this about?"

Huang Wei had a look on his face as if playing dumb while fully understanding the situation, but inside, his heart was pounding wildly.

Oh no, could it be that they’ve traced it back to us?

No way!

This was done perfectly, there’s no way they could trace it back to us!

This can’t be it, it can’t be this, it definitely can’t be this!

"You’ll find out when you both get there, let’s go."

Gu Jianlong motioned towards the door with a nod, indicating for the two to follow him.

Yu Dongdong asked cautiously,

"Officer, how long will it roughly take? I need to arrange things here as well."

Gu Jianlong replied in a calm tone,

"I can’t answer that, you’ll find out for yourself. I’m only here to relay the message, your case has someone responsible for it."

"What? My case?"

Upon hearing the word "case," Yu Dongdong suddenly felt a chill run halfway down his spine.

Huang Wei also felt his legs become weak and his heart started racing violently.

No way, no way!

I haven’t even enjoyed myself properly yet, nor extracted much money from my cousin and haven’t even had a few good days!

Could it have been exposed just like this?

Can one really be this unlucky!

"Yes, please cooperate and come with us for an investigation, here are my credentials."

As he spoke, Gu Jianlong took out his credentials to show Yu Dongdong, while another officer started the law enforcement recorder to begin recording.

"Can I, can I make a phone call first..."

Having seen the setup from Gu Jianlong and others, the bad feeling in Yu Dongdong’s heart intensified, and he began to sweat profusely like a faucet had been turned on his forehead.

Huang Wei’s face also showed anxiety and panic, his heart was pounding.

"You can call a family member, but you can’t go elsewhere. It must be in our presence."

With rich experience in handling cases, Gu Jianlong could tell just by looking at the two that they certainly had done something wrong.

And this case had even attracted the personal oversight of city leaders.

Although he didn’t know what specifically the two had done.

But he knew that they would definitely not have it easy today.

"Okay, alright..."

With a tense expression, Yu Dongdong said, then took out his cell phone and shakily dialed his father’s number.

"Hi Dad, I need to go to the police station, come over to Hongfu Garden quickly and watch the store..."

After dialing his father, Yu Dongdong conveyed the matter briefly.

When Yu’s father heard that the police were involved, a strong sense of unease surged up in his heart.

"Hi honey..."

Huang Wei also made a call to his wife, and in the presence of Gu Jianlong and the others, he didn’t dare mention the USB drive incident.

But he kept hinting to his wife that he needed to go to the police station.

After finishing the calls, the duo followed Gu Jianlong and the others out, getting into the police car at the entrance.

"What’s happening? Why is our boss taken away by the police?"

"I was nearby earlier and heard something. It seemed like the boss is involved in some case?"

"Oh no, will it affect our supermarket’s opening? Just got a job close to home, it can’t end just like this!"

"Looking at the expressions on our boss and his cousin’s faces, things don’t seem so simple!"

"Could it be malicious competition from a peer, who reported our supermarket?"

"No way, such a big incident happened at Supermarket Fa, and they’re still shut down and reorganizing, they’ve got no time for this."

"Hope the boss is okay, I don’t want to start job hunting again!"

After Yu Dongdong and Huang Wei left, inside the supermarket, there was a lack of leadership, and the staff gathered in clusters discussing it.

For a moment, no one was in the mood to continue working.

On the other side.

Yu Dongdong and Huang Wei were taken past the local police station straight to the Pingchang District division for investigation.

After getting out of the car, seeing the imposing and towering walls of the division.

The duo already felt in their hearts that things were heading in the direction they least wanted!

Once inside, they were separated for interrogation.

When asked about the Supermarket Fa incident, both played dumb and innocent, saying it had nothing to do with them.

But upon seeing the evidence provided by Gu Hongsheng, they were instantly dumbfounded.

The evidence was overwhelming.

Their fate was sealed the moment they decided to launch unfair competition against Supermarket Fa.

The net of justice may have wide meshes, but it misses nothing.

All their calculations didn’t account for an unexpected variable like Jiang Tao.

...

While Yu Dongdong and Huang Wei were being taken for investigation.

Jiang Tao was lying comfortably on a large bed at the Century Hotel, letting Yuan Mengqi "torment" him.

Finally, it was only after Yuan Mengqi conceded twice that they finished.

After the passion, Yuan Mengqi lay in Jiang Tao’s arms like a kitten.

She used her long, fair fingers to draw irregular circles on Jiang Tao’s chest.

The two whispered about topics that would make one blush and heart pound.

They stayed at the hotel until around 6 in the evening.

Only then did they get dressed to leave the room.

When she arrived, Yuan Mengqi was wearing stockings, but now she was walking bare-legged.

The stockings had been torn by Jiang Tao and thrown into the trash.

Yuan Mengqi looped her arm around Jiang Tao’s, and the two laughed and chatted as they waited for the elevator after pressing the button.

Ring—

Jiang Tao’s phone suddenly rang from his pocket.

Pulled out the phone and saw that the caller ID displayed "Gu Hongsheng."

Seeing this name, Jiang Tao instantly knew what was up, swiped his finger to answer the call.

"Brother Jiang, thank you for providing the evidence, after investigation by the police, those two have confessed everything..."

Upon answering, Gu Hongsheng’s somewhat solemn voice came from the other side.

Originally, he thought this incident was merely an accident, just bad luck for his daughter to run into someone deranged like that.

Never did he expect that the truth was someone deliberately targeting Supermarket Fa!

The thought of it sent chills down Gu Hongsheng’s spine.

It’s like fighting a planned battle against an unprepared opponent.

He was in the light, while the enemies were in the shadow.

If not for the intel Jiang Tao provided today, capturing the shadowy figures...

No one could guarantee they wouldn’t resort to their old tricks or drum up other despicable means.

Jiang Tao’s move essentially defused two "dormant bombs" next to Gu Hongsheng that could have harmed him or his family at any moment.

Through this incident, Gu Hongsheng’s impression of Jiang Tao improved significantly, and he began regarding him as a brother.

"Brother Gu, no need for thanks, the net of justice may have wide meshes, but it misses nothing, actions have consequences, judgment may be delayed but it arrives."

"Alright, no rush, we can dine anytime, your daughter’s health is the priority."

"Okay, don’t mention it, alright, talk soon."

After a few brief words, Jiang Tao hung up the call with Gu Hongsheng.

At that moment, the elevator doors opened.

Jiang Tao pocketed his phone and walked into the elevator with Yuan Mengqi.

Yuan Mengqi didn’t ask who Jiang Tao was on the phone with, nor what it was about.

She was a woman who understood boundaries.

She knew what to ask and what not to ask.

After descending to the lobby on the first floor and checking out, they exited the hotel and walked towards the Century City District.

Ambling along the bustling evening street.

Yuan Mengqi hung onto Jiang Tao’s arm, clinging like a bird relying on its owner.

Since being with Jiang Tao, Yuan Mengqi’s life had been filled with joy and happiness.

Even though there were still some regrets, she was satisfied with her current life.

Moreover, after experiencing a failed marriage,

Her mindset had changed significantly from before.

As long as they were happy and joyful together, that was enough.

When Jiang Tao and Yuan Mengqi arrived home, Yuan Mengjie and Lin Ranran were setting food on the table.

"Brother Jiang, sis, you guys came just in time, we were about to call you."

"By the way, we have two guests at home today, let me introduce them to you."

"Brother-in-law?"

"Sasha."

Xu Sha and Jiang Tao were both a little surprised to see each other at that moment.
