Xu Zhengyang sat on the chair with a confused look in his eyes. He held his chin with both hands as if he was deep in thought.
Ever since he received the information from Ye Ziling, Xu Zhengyang was completely shocked. His most respected elder, Cao Qi, had been wearing a hypocritical mask. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that Cao Qi could do such a thing!
Xu Zhengyang felt a little sad when he thought about how Cao Qi had nurtured him.
On the one hand, it was a teacher who had treated him well, and on the other hand, it was his responsibility. Xu Zhengyang was at a loss for a moment. Was he really going to put righteousness above family?
He had been in this position for three hours. Xu Zhengyang seemed to have made a very important decision. He slowly stood up and moved his numb arm.
When he found Cao Qi's phone number, Xu Zhengyang hesitated for a moment and finally called him.
"Hello, Xiao Xu, what's the matter?"
Cao Qi's voice quickly came from the other end of the phone. It was so familiar, yet so unfamiliar.
"Elder…Elder Cao."
Xu Zhengyang didn't know where to start. He started to stutter.
"Haha, you brat, do you have something to ask of me? You can't even speak fluently.”
Cao Qi was still laughing heartily.
"Teacher, it's nothing. I just called to chat with you.”
Xu Zhengyang calmed himself down and his thoughts began to come back to life. He really wanted to know why his teacher would do such a thing. He really hoped that Cao Qi was coerced or had some unspeakable secret. However, the evidence in his hands showed that his guess was just a fantasy.
"Teacher, I suddenly remembered when I was working.”
"Oh? Why are you suddenly lamenting about this?"
"Mm, nothing. I just feel that time passes very quickly.”
"Haha, you're still so sentimental, kid. As long as you're willing to work hard, who knows what will happen in the future? I'm already old. My future depends on you young people.”
" Teacher, I still remember what you said to me at that time…"
"Xiao Xu, what's wrong with you today? Why was he speaking so strangely? Did something happen?"
Cao Qi was a little nervous. Xu Zhengyang's words pierced his heart.
In the blink of an eye, more than thirty years had passed. Cao Qi sighed in his heart. It wasn't that he wanted to fail his duty, but that he had to do this.
Humans would die for wealth, and birds would die for food. This iron law had also affected Cao Qi. For the sake of the Cao family's better future, he could only do this. Otherwise, after he retired, the glory of the Cao family would soon be lost.
The eldest daughter was disappointing. She was already in her thirties and still unmarried. She spent all her time fooling around with some shady young people in society. The youngest son was not very promising. His studies were average and he did not have any special talents. The family relied on him to support them.
Cao Qi also had resentment in his heart for having come this far.
If he could help the dwarves control the property market in the south, the dwarves had promised to give him 30% of the shares. That was an astronomical figure!
"Oh…Oh, it's fine, I don't know what's wrong with me today.”
Xu Zhengyang wiped his teary eyes. Cao Qi's words destroyed his last bit of hope. He could tell that Cao Qi had no intention of confessing.
"Looks like…we can only do things by the book. I'm sorry, Teacher!"
After hanging up the phone, Xu Zhengyang sighed and sorted out the information in his hands.
…………………………
Xu Zhengyang quickly handed Cao Qi's criminal evidence to the relevant departments. However, Cao Qi did not know that a big net was slowly closing in on him.
The first to be arrested was Li Guojun, who had disappeared for a long time. When the police knocked on the door, Li Guojun was hiding in the firewood room of his hometown in the countryside.
He had been on tenterhooks for the past few days. Although his uncle had always told him that he would succeed soon and that all the problems would be solved, his eyelids had been twitching recently. A bad feeling often made him unable to breathe.
Until he touched the cold handcuffs, Li Guojun felt much more at ease. He knew that from the moment Wang Aiguo died, he had already walked through a mountain of knives and a sea of fire.
Li Guojun was also a man who was afraid of death. The words 'confess, leniency, and severe punishment' were a life-saving straw for him. This might be his only chance to escape the death penalty.
As soon as he entered the police station, Li Guojun took the initiative to ask for the accomplice to be exposed. Soon, he confessed all the secrets he knew. The investigators were also frightened by his words. This was not just murder and commercial crime.
As the case progressed, the senior executives of the new companies that suddenly rose were invited to have tea one by one. The conclusion was consistent with Li Guojun's confession.
…………………………
At the television station's recording studio, Cao Qi was recording a program when the door of the program room was suddenly opened. A few plainclothes officers rushed in despite the television station's staff's obstruction.
"Sorry to disturb you."
The leading plainclothes officer bowed his head and apologized to the host, who was still sitting in a chair. Then, he took out an arrest warrant from his pocket and waved it around.
"Comrade Cao Qi, please cooperate with us and go back with us to assist in the investigation.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a few plainclothes officers behind him immediately rushed forward and carried Cao Qi out of the live broadcast room, leaving the host sitting on the spot with a dumbfounded expression.
"What…what are you doing! Do you know who I am? What right do you have to touch me?”
"Which department are you from? Call your leader to see me!”
Cao Qi roared indignantly, but the plainclothes around him had cold expressions. No one cared about a big tiger that had fallen off its horse...
