"You won't be out for ten years, Tang Nannan. Go and have a good reunion with your third brother He."
"As for that Hu Jiasheng, when disaster strikes, everyone flies their separate ways. Without you, there are other Zhang Nannans, Li Nannans, Wang Nannans. See how long he'll remember you."
After speaking, the police officers were led upstairs by the receptionist in the lobby on the first floor.
Someone called for President Ma. President Ma explained the general situation: Tang Nannan had been taken away.
Hu Jiasheng had just returned to his office after a meeting when his phone rang.
He picked it up and saw a strange message: Nan Cheng Someone went to the police station.
He thought it was some kind of telemarketing scam using a fake number and hung up directly.
Unexpectedly, the other party called again soon.
He answered with a sense of doubt and only then learned that Tang Nannan was in trouble.
After a lot of trouble, Hu Jiasheng met Tang Nannan with a lawyer.
They had only been inside for a little over two hours, but her face was pale, and her spirit was dejected, as if she had suffered some great hardship, which made Hu Jiasheng heartbroken.
"What happened?"
Tang Nannan recounted the entire story to him from beginning to end.
After she finished, the lawyer pushed up his glasses and said sternly.
"Are you sure that every word and every character you've spoken is true? Miss Tang, I'm here to solve your problems, don't create problems for me. I don't want to find anything inconsistent with your testimony during my follow-up visits."
Tang Nannan swore to heaven that every word she said was true.
She said, "My phone was confiscated. If you don't believe me, you can check my phone. Four days ago, around ten in the morning, I video-called President Ma and we talked for about forty minutes. The chat records are still there."
"This is where the problem lies."
The lawyer said, "You had a video call, not a text chat. No one knows what you said at the time, so this won't help."
"The key is that there's something very unfavorable to you now."
"What is it?"
"I had my assistant investigate the accounts under your name and found that at a psychiatric hospital in Sucheng..."
Tang Nannan snatched his words, "My brother? What happened to him?"
"Half a month ago, someone opened a special account in Tang Dong's name and received a transfer of 1 million yuan four days ago."
"Your brother has been hospitalized for a long time and has mental issues, lacking civil capacity. You have no parents. This money could very likely be deemed as you transferring it."
Well, President Ma had really gone to great lengths to harm her.
Not only did she mess up a deal worth tens of millions in business, but she also privately transferred 1 million yuan to her.
She had been planning this for half a month; she was truly willing to invest.
In fact, it wasn't necessary to go to such great lengths.
If she knew Tang Nannan well enough and knew how much she needed money, she could have just thrown fifty million yuan at her face.
Never mind asking her to leave the company or leave Nan Cheng, she could have even made her kneel and kowtow a few times to President Ma.
"So, I can't explain myself now, can I? What will I be sentenced to?"
The lawyer said, "Your situation is quite serious. Embezzlement, bribery, selling company secrets. If all the charges are proven true..."
Tang Nannan could imagine that her life for the rest of her days was basically hopeless.
"However, this is not the worst situation yet, don't worry."
After the lawyer finished, he also advised her, "Isn't there still the clue about the financial manager? If she can come forward and confirm the situation at the time, then this charge will not stand."
At this point, Tang Nannan had no hope left.
Since President Ma had gone to such great lengths to set a trap for her, she wouldn't have overlooked such an obvious loophole.
The financial manager would definitely not come forward to testify for her.
As expected.
Hu Jiasheng personally went to President Ma's company and waited for over an hour to see her.
When they met, President Ma was smiling more happily than the last time they met.
"What wind blew Mr. Hu here today? I was busy just now, I'm sorry for making you wait."
Hu Jiasheng didn't bother with pleasantries, knowing she was deliberately playing hard to get, and said directly.
"How did Tang Nannan offend you that you had to go to such great lengths to deal with her?"
President Ma feigned ignorance, "What are you talking about, Mr. Hu? I don't understand. What do you mean I dealt with Tang Nannan? You seem to have misunderstood the situation, haven't you?"
"For the sake of you and Mrs. Gao, I treated her well, spent a lot of money on her, but she privately..."
Hu Jiasheng interrupted her, "You don't need to pretend with me about what really happened. You know, and I know."
"I came here just to ask you one thing: when will you be willing to let this go?"
He lacked the imposing aura he had last time, which was satisfying to see, but President Ma didn't dare to get carried away.
She continued to feign ignorance, "If Mr. Hu is here to discuss business, what kind of tea would you like? I'll make you some, and we can sit down and talk slowly."
"But if you're here to cause trouble for no reason, I'm afraid I can't accompany you."
Hu Jiasheng stared at her coldly, "So, you're saying you can't make the decision either, and all of this was done under someone's instruction, right?"
These mother and son are really something.
Why couldn't they say whatever they had to say face-to-face? Why did they have to make him a mediator, get caught in the middle, and listen to their sarcastic remarks?
"Mr. Hu, I really don't understand what you're talking about. If you have nothing else, I'll go back to work. I'm sorry, please help yourself."
Hu Jiasheng left President Ma's company and called Zhan Beijue, asking for Mrs. Gao's address or if he knew her home phone number.
Zhan Beijue asked him what happened.
"Tang Nannan is being targeted by her. I want to talk to her, send me the information."
Zhan Beijue sent him the phone number and home address. Hu Jiasheng called while driving.
As a result, whether it was Mrs. Gao deliberately blocking his number to avoid suspicion, or all external phones being blocked, he couldn't get through.
He had no choice but to drive to her home.
However, that kind of unit wasn't something you could just enter casually; it was heavily guarded, so he could only wait outside.
If Mrs. Gao came out today, he could see her. If she couldn't come out, he didn't know when he would have to wait.
Hu Jiasheng had a strange premonition that she would definitely come out, so he leaned against the front of his car and quietly stared in the direction of the gate.
After running around all afternoon, it was past five o'clock.
This street was quiet amidst the hustle and bustle, with excellent greenery.
The trees were so dense they blocked out the sun, all of them plane trees.
He stood there like a frozen painting, waiting from five to six, then from six to seven, until eight or nine o'clock in the evening, when Mrs. Gao slowly came out, holding a small white Pekingese dog.
Mrs. Gao saw him from a distance and seemed to know he was waiting for her. As soon as their eyes met.
She bent down, picked up the dog, and turned around, walking back inside.
