"Who are you?" Huo Ping's mother asked, looking at the two people at the door with a face full of questions.
Wei Yumeng immediately explained, "It's like this, I am the project director of Zhan's Group, and he is from our HR department. We are here specifically to visit the families of our employees."
At first, Madam Huo was a little disbelieving, but after seeing the identification Wei Yumeng presented, and the young man next to her, who was smiling all the time and looked extremely handsome,
She couldn't help but let down her guard.
"Please come in."
Wei Yumeng and Chai Yanyu entered the house and found that the Huo family's financial situation was not bad.
"Please sit anywhere, I'll make you some tea."
Chai Yanyu immediately stopped Madam Huo's action, "Auntie, don't bother. We'll just have a look around and leave."
"Auntie, Huo Ping has been working abroad all along. I know you must be very worried, so our company specifically sent us to represent the company's thanks and bring you some gifts."
As Wei Yumeng spoke, she placed the pre-purchased gifts on the table.
Chai Yanyu followed up by asking, "Auntie, does Huo Ping call back often?"
Madam Huo didn't suspect anything, "He calls quite often, but he's never seen all year round, which really makes us worry."
"Has he called you recently?"
"This..." Madam Huo's expression became a little unnatural as she spoke.
Wei Yumeng and Chai Yanyu naturally picked up on this.
"Not yet, he hasn't called back for a week." Madam Huo said, and involuntarily glanced at a certain room.
Wei Yumeng and Chai Yanyu exchanged a glance. It seemed they had come at just the right time.
Chai Yanyu was the first to stand up and say to Madam Huo, "Auntie, we've delivered our regards. We'll be leaving now. If you need anything else, you can call Zhan's Group."
Madam Huo acknowledged and saw them out.
"Sister, it seems this operation has been smoother than we imagined." Chai Yanyu shrugged. "I didn't expect this Huo Ping, when things went wrong, didn't think of escaping but hid in his own home. I really don't know what to say."
Wei Yumeng then took out her phone and directly told Zhan Yangyi their findings.
In just half a day, this Huo Ping was found.
"Speak, what is your purpose in doing this?" Zhan Yangyi asked coldly, looking at Huo Ping.
Huo Ping, however, put on a stubborn demeanor, "I know what you are asking about, but that was something Mr. Zhan did himself in the first place. Isn't it too late for you to look for a scapegoat now?"
"Scapegoat?" Chai Yanyu sneered, "Do you think we would have brought you here without knowing anything?"
Huo Ping shivered at the sight of Chai Yanyu. No matter how he looked at it, Zhan Yangyi was the eldest in the Zhan family, but why did this person next to him feel even more terrifying?
Wei Yumeng stepped forward and asked, "Where is Mo Han now?"
Huo Ping looked surprised, "You mean Zhan Mohan, Mr. Zhan? How would I know? I haven't seen him in a long time. How would I know where he is?"
Wei Yumeng looked at his arrogant attitude and felt annoyed.
Chai Yanyu reached out to stop her, shook his head, and signaled for her to leave the rest to them.
Zhan Yangyi took out several documents from the table and threw them directly onto the floor in front of Huo Ping.
"This is the evidence we found after investigating your unauthorized use of overseas branch funds. Your name is signed on the withdrawal slips."
Zhan Yangyi paused and continued, "Also, the surveillance video from that time, do you want to see it?"
As he spoke, he turned the computer screen towards Huo Ping.
The screen showed a man manipulating something on a computer.
"How is this possible!" Huo Ping became agitated upon seeing the video, "You couldn't possibly have surveillance footage."
Chai Yanyu's lips curled, "Then tell me, why is it impossible to have it?"
"Because I..."
Before Huo Ping could finish speaking, Chai Yanyu finished his sentence for him, "Because you deliberately tampered with the surveillance at the time when you took action, right?"
Huo Ping's face instantly turned pale.
"It is precisely because you did those things that you firmly believe we couldn't have the video, right?" Chai Yanyu pressed on.
Zhan Yangyi then brought up the fund disbursement records from that day.
"According to the fund withdrawal records, the amount you withdrew matches the amount used for bribing officials, and that portion of funds reached the official's hands not long after it was withdrawn."
As he spoke, he opened another window on the computer screen, which was a video call with someone abroad.
The official could be clearly seen on the other side being apprehended by the police and interrogated.
"Are you really sure that the person who bribed you was Zhan Yichen?"
The official said with a stern face, "That's right. For the approval of company projects, he gave me a large sum of money."
The police officer thought for a moment and continued, "Let me rephrase, did Zhan Yichen personally hand you the money?"
The official fell silent. He seemed to have realized the strangeness of the situation.
Finally, he said, "No, he didn't. It was the company's financial director who came to me and said the money was for me."
"Do you remember that person's name?"
"It seems to be a Mr. Huo."
The police officer nodded, then walked to the screen, "Mr. Zhan, these are the clues we've found."
Zhan Yangyi nodded to the police officer as well, "Thank you for your trouble."
Chai Yanyu spoke up, "Huo Ping, do you have anything else to say? If not, Zhan's Group will formally sue you for misappropriating company funds, bribing officials, and causing harm to Mr. Zhan Yichen."
With all these pieces of evidence, what else could Huo Ping say?
As the police led him away, he burst into laughter and said to Wei Yumeng.
"You wanted to know where Zhan Mohan was, didn't you? I can tell you, I killed him. He discovered what I was doing, so I struck first."
Wei Yumeng froze on the spot. Her vision went white, and she knew nothing else.
When she woke up, she felt as if she had a dream, a dream where someone said Zhan Mohan was dead.
"Sister, you're awake?" Chai Yanyu looked at Wei Yumeng with a face full of worry.
Wei Yumeng looked at Chai Yanyu and eagerly sought an answer from him, "A'Yu, he said Mo Han was killed. That's not true, right?"
Chai Yanyu didn't know how to answer her.
According to the current investigation results, Huo Ping was responsible for this. Therefore, what he said might indeed be true.
However, Wei Yumeng refused to believe it. She even grabbed Chai Yanyu's arm and shook it desperately, "Tell me, it's all fake."
But Chai Yanyu could only turn his head away with a pained expression.
