Gong Chen flipped a page of the document, then placed each page on Captain Xing’s desk.
Captain Xing stood beside him, following along with each page.
Until Gong Chen had only a few documents left in his hands, he remembered Qiu Yang saying she had made backups of her prior leaks.
To catch attention, Qiu Yang did not disclose everything in the documents in her previous exposures.
She selected events that could resonate with the public.
Perhaps there were omissions.
Captain Xing handed over the remaining documents.
"These are Qiu Yang’s previous leaks."
"Hmm."
Gong Chen read through the documents while arranging them on the desk.
Captain Xing reviewed each one.
"These people really know how to exploit loopholes, but how were they overlooked in the last investigation? They even managed to transfer all their money, retrieving it will be a long process."
Gong Chen stared at the documents on the table and said coldly, "These people have only recently started transferring their assets, they must be in a hurry for some reason."
Captain Xing asked cluelessly, "Nothing’s happened recently either."
After thinking for a moment, he added, "But wait, something did happen recently, Mrs. Bai went to see Bai Zhengxian of her own accord."
Gong Chen paused his hand, then pointed out similar aspects in those documents.
"The documents left by Qiu Yang’s leak aren’t completely useless; she simply didn’t clarify some areas she didn’t understand. If you connect these together, you’ll discover something."
Captain Xing leaned in to compare them closely.
"These assets are almost all flowing to a specific bank abroad."
Gong Chen nodded.
"You mentioned Mrs. Bai met Bai Zhengxian earlier, do you know what they talked about?"
"It was all family matters, saying how tough things were for her and her daughter, she also mentioned Bai Ruoshu marrying Gong Yao. She didn’t say much about herself, kept talking about Bai Ruoshu," Captain Xing recalled.
"Captain Xing, what do you think she’s up to?" Gong Chen asked.
Captain Xing chuckled lightly, "At first, it sounds like Mrs. Bai is just sharing her hardships, but I suspect she’s threatening Bai Zhengxian. If Mrs. Bai really cared that much about Bai Ruoshu, she wouldn’t let her marry Gong Yao at this critical juncture. She’s likely trying to tell Bai Zhengxian she’ll use Bai Ruoshu to achieve all her purposes."
Gong Chen looked at Captain Xing appreciatively.
He then casually picked up a document.
"The Bai Family has done evil for many years, besides accumulating quite a bit of money, they have another kind of wealth."
Captain Xing looked at the table full of documents and immediately thought of the answer.
"Leverage."
"I suspect neither the old man nor Mrs. Bai got hold of it, because Bai Zhengxian kept a trump card, which is why Mrs. Bai is using Bai Ruoshu to threaten Bai Zhengxian. Bai Zhengxian had no choice but to hand it over; what did he say during their meeting?" Gong Chen inquired.
"Bai Zhengxian said the money stored in the bank was enough for Bai Ruoshu to live well," Captain Xing recalled.
Gong Chen pointed at the bank name on the documents, "Right here, this bank’s safety deposit box must contain something, besides blackmail evidence, it should also have a way for the Bai Family to rise from the ashes. Mrs. Bai is utilizing strategies once used by Bai Zhengxian to threaten the individuals in the documents, making them deposit money into this designated bank. She’s now the second Bai Zhengxian."
"So you mean the asset transfer is actually... extortion. I heard Mrs. Bai established a company externally, claiming it’s different from Bai Zhengxian, yet she ended up doing this," Captain Xing recalled the first time he met Mrs. Bai, he felt she wasn’t a simple woman.
Everything about her felt fake even to him, a cop.
Yet he couldn’t see through her.
Gong Chen handed the files back to Captain Xing, "This is just the beginning, wait and see."
Captain Xing said worriedly, "Keep waiting? I’m really worried something will go awry. Look at Qiu Yang... what if another Qiu Yang emerges?"
"What if another group of women from back then emerges?" Gong Chen posed the question.
"Got it, but do we really need to keep Miss Lin in the dark?"
"It’s not the time yet, for Zhiyi, the real danger hasn’t arrived, and burdening her with everything beforehand will only leave her at a loss, besides, the Bai family aren’t the only parasites."
Gong Chen patted Captain Xing’s shoulder.
