I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property

"One... one hundred million!?" The officer's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets; he had never dealt with such a vast sum of money in his lifetime.

"Where did this money come from?" The officer's gaze fixed on Wu Yun, "Manager Wu, if I remember correctly, your annual income is only about three to four hundred thousand, right?"

Under normal circumstances, suddenly finding a hundred million in his account would have made Wu Yun laugh in his dreams, but at this moment, he simply wanted to smash his phone to the ground.

How the hell would he know why suddenly there was an extra hundred million in his account? He had done this one thing, and the benefit he received from the other party was only a million! Moreover, even if this project was completed, the company's profit would not exceed one hundred million. Had they gone mad?

"It's him! It must be him!" Wu Yun pointed at Zhang Menglong and said, "This money must have been transferred by him!"

"Do you have any evidence?" Zhang Menglong smiled and said, "Officer, you can check whether this account belongs to me or not."

"Hey, Liu Rui, help me check a bank account!" The officer immediately dialed his colleague's phone.

But the feedback came quickly; the account that transferred money to Wu Yun did not belong to Zhang Menglong but to a homeless man named Li Li—it was clearly an account used for money laundering!

"Told you it wasn't mine!" Zhang Menglong spread his hands. With a plethora of ways to secretly transfer money, Zhang Menglong could easily call upon his connections, "Now please explain it, Manager Wu!"

"I... I..." At this point, even if Wu Yun had mouths all over his body, he couldn't come up with a reason; he had no idea where this money had come from!

"A hundred million, such a large amount, now I even suspect whether you have stolen some state secrets or something that someone would give you so much money!" Zhang Menglong said sarcastically.

"You! You're just spouting nonsense!"

"Then sue me if you dare!" Zhang Menglong laughed, "Or better explain the origin of this money first! A hundred million of unexplained wealth, it wouldn't be excessive to detain you for ten or eight years, right?"

Zhang Menglong's eagerness for chaos made Wu Yun so angry that he was jumping up and down, yet he was helpless.

At that moment, the officer's phone rang.

"Liu Rui? What's the matter, did you get the information on that account just now?"

"Got squat!" the officer said, "I had someone trace the account's financial chain, and it led me straight to Siberia. Even if we continue the investigation, there won't be anything to find!"

"Siberia..." Although it didn't prove the account had anything to do with Zhang Menglong, he was one hundred percent certain that this money was definitely linked to Zhang Menglong!

"So what do you want to tell me?"

"Just now, someone turned themselves in!"

"Turned themselves in? Who?"

"A man named Liu Neng, the market manager of Reze Electronics Commerce Exclusive Company."

"Reze? Isn't that the company that ended up with the project in this case?"

"Exactly, the company that got the project. The market manager said he collaborated with the project manager from Nas Group and successfully acquired the exclusive distribution rights from the supplier."

"What? There's such a thing? Did he really turn himself in?"

"Not exactly, almost the entire company came forward, collectively reporting this Liu Neng for engagement in improper business dealings, and they even prepared a ton of evidence. Unable to withstand the pressure, Liu Neng outright confessed everything."

"What sort of maneuver is this? Is that company toxic?" the officer couldn't help but comment sarcastically, "I got it, I'll be right back!"

"Wu Yun, now you are suspected of unfair business competition, come with me to the station for an investigation!"

"What?"

"A person named Liu Neng just surrendered himself, stating that everything was done in collaboration with you," he told Sun Yulei. "I'm sorry, Mr. Sun, it seems that we didn't investigate this matter thoroughly. We hope you can come with us to make a statement."

"Of course." Sun Yulei nodded. He couldn't figure out why Wu Yun's accomplice would mysteriously turn himself in like this.

...

"Is this... is this really a person who's surrendered after committing a crime?"

Upon arriving at the police station, everyone was stunned as they entered the lobby.

Hundreds of people were crowded into the floor, some sitting along the walls listening to music, some playing games, and some chatting and laughing cheerfully, each wearing a smile like it was a festive occasion.

"What's going on here? Are these people not working?" Sun Yulei looked at them, completely bewildered.

"You might not believe this," another officer came up and said, "this company has a total of 342 people, excluding the boss, and 341 people have unanimously given us evidence of Liu Neng's bribery. A 'united' company like this is a first for me."

"Are you all here to provide evidence against Liu Neng?" an officer who came with Zhang Menglong asked.

"Yes, officer, we all know Liu Neng secured the exclusive agency rights for this project by paying 500,000 to the project manager at Nas Group!"

"We also have video from the company's conference room, retrieved from the surveillance by our company's technicians!"

"The audio is very clear; it's been enhanced to Dolby level, and all the details can be heard distinctly!"

"Yes, and they all agreed that once the heat died down and the scapegoat was punished, they'd go ahead with the transaction of the 500,000!"

"I passed by the restroom that day and overheard our manager on the phone. I even recorded it!"

"You..."

Although this was a very righteous thing to do, it involved the interests of their company, and once this matter was exposed, it was feared that no one would want to cooperate with their company again. If the company collapsed, they would all become unemployed. Had none of these people considered this?

"Do you all have a grudge against this market manager?"

"No!" Everyone shook their heads in unison.

"Then, did he do something to cause a collective loss of your interests?"

The crowd continued to shake their heads.

"Then you..."

"Let me answer that question," Zhang Menglong said with a smile as he stepped forward. "My brother works in this project team. If he didn't do this, then the most likely person would be his supervisor. If someone seriously committed this act, unless they're a heist expert or a genius, they'd definitely leave behind evidence."

"If Nas Group failed, the company that successfully got the agency rights would be the biggest beneficiary. Therefore, the person colluding with Wu Yun must also come from within Reze Culture and Media. Just a cursory investigation should reveal them, right?"

"But why would everyone come forward to report? Don't they care about their own company?" It was incomprehensible to anyone.

Even if a few people knew about it, it should have only spread within the company; it didn't make sense for hundreds to come forward to provide evidence simultaneously.

"What's so difficult about that?" Zhang Menglong laughed. "We're all wage earners; working is simply about earning some money, making a living. Job-hopping is the easiest thing!"

"What exactly did you do?"

"Nothing much, 500,000 per person, plus the offer from Unicorn Group's second branch office in Jiangnan City, and I bought off everyone in the company. Those who knew about it immediately reported it, and those who didn't went searching for evidence. That resolved the issue quickly, didn't it!"

Sun Yulei gave a thumbs up, "You're awesome! I lost! Money really does talk, doesn't it!"
