38: 1 million? Then transfer it in 10 minutes

“Did Brother Yong and his crew frame him? Director Gao, you know what kind of people these drug dealers are; we can't trust their words.”

Gao Dawen slammed his hand on the table.

“Are you here to teach me? Don't I know?”

“The problem is that other people in the bar also saw him taking drugs. He was taking drugs with Zhang Yongqiang and them, and he even threw up!”

“Come on, tell me, if a police officer takes drugs, should we investigate or not?”

“Also, a child from an ordinary family, as you call him, suddenly pulled out a million in cash. Should we investigate or not?”

Amidst Gao Dawen's roaring, Xie Changkun slumped into his seat, his mind a blur.

The resentment in his gaze towards Gao Dawen had vanished, replaced only by a sense of sorrow.

“Old Xie, you must believe in the organization, believe that the Supervisory Brigade will give us the truth.”

...This was Ye Lin's first time in the Supervisory Brigade's interrogation room.

Actually, to call it an interrogation room was a bit of an overstatement; it was basically the same as the interview room at the station, the only difference being that he didn't need to be handcuffed in his seat.

He had never been interrogated even when he received disciplinary action at the Police Academy back in the day, so this first time made Ye Lin feel a slight tension.

Ye Lin sat alone in the chair, facing three people: Ling Zhao and his two subordinates.

“Comrade Ye Lin, according to police regulations, we are now conducting a supervisory interview with you in accordance with the law. Please cooperate fully.”

Ye Lin nodded. “Alright, let's see what you can ask.”

“Did you participate in the drug bust operation at Red Moon Bar last night?”

“Yes, I did.”

“Was this drug dealer also someone you had arranged to meet beforehand?”

“Yes, it was Mad Face before, and last night it was Brother Yong.”

“What about the price of a million?”

“I was the one who said I wanted to buy a million worth of goods.”

The two exchanged quick questions and answers, the questions simple, the replies even simpler.

It made Ling Zhao feel like he was facing an old fox.

“Then, when you said you wanted a million worth of goods, did you consider how the money for this transaction would be handled? Where would it come from?”

Ye Lin smiled calmly, “A million? I borrowed it. I borrowed it from someone else.”

“Comrade Ye Lin, do you mean you borrowed a million from someone else for the sake of the case?” Ling Zhao's tone grew heavier.

“Yes.”

“Comrade Ye Lin, please correct your attitude!” Ling Zhao suddenly shouted in reprimand.

“Aren't I being very cooperative? It's you, Section Chief Ling, who's yelling, isn't it? I've answered everything I needed to.” Ye Lin was also getting a bit annoyed. “Damn it, why are you yelling at me?”

“This is a million? Do you think it's a hundred yuan? Can you just borrow it so easily?”

“According to our understanding, your father is a doctor, and your mother is unemployed. Where did you get a million? Where could you borrow a million from? Be honest!”

Ye Lin's mouth fell open. “Damn, I guess that's what's written on my resume.”

However, his mother being unemployed at home was because their family didn't need her to work. The Wang family was a large clan; his mother could lie around and eat for two lifetimes without finishing it all, so why wouldn't she be unemployed?

And as for himself, if his grandfather hadn't forced him to study medicine, he would have wanted to be a rich second-generation heir, a playboy.

If it weren't for this damn system, he would now be a doctor just drifting through life, living the life of a rich second-generation heir.

“Uh, this question is a bit difficult for me to explain. It's just that, in reality, I borrowed this million from my uncle.”

“You decided on a million worth of goods the night before last, and you borrowed a million yesterday? Do you think we'll believe that?”

“Uh, it was a bit slow. How about I make a call now and borrow another million in ten minutes?”

“Be serious! Don't be so sarcastic, what kind of attitude is that!” Ling Zhao was so angry he wanted to jump up.

No one had ever dared to act so cocky in the Supervisory Brigade. The more someone jumped around, the more they would be dealt with.

Alright, so you, Ye Lin, want to be difficult, do you? Then let's see who has the last laugh.

“Section Chief, since he says he can borrow a million in ten minutes, let him borrow it. If he can't, then he's not being honest.” Shen Tianhua, standing nearby, leaned over and whispered, a malicious look on his face.

Ling Zhao nodded and said calmly, “Alright then, Ye Lin, make the call now. We'll wait for you, ten minutes.”

Ye Lin was noncommittal, pulled out his phone, and dialed Wang Chao's number.

After a few beeps of a busy signal, a female voice came from the phone: “Young Master Ye, Mr. Wang is in a meeting and doesn't have time to answer the phone right now.”

“I need to talk to him about something. Go in and tell him to call me.” With that, Ye Lin hung up.

He looked up and saw Ling Zhao and the other two looking at him with disdain.

“Ye Lin, this trick has been overused here.”

“First you call, then you say the person is busy, no time.”

“This kind of delaying tactic is useless.” Shen Tianhua said.

“I thought you might have something new, but these are all old tricks that people have used to death,” Yao Guoliang, who had been silent, also said.

“Ye Lin, you'd better be honest. How did this million come about? Don't have any other ideas; the more lies you tell, the more you won't be able to cover them up.” Ling Zhao looked smug.

Ye Lin looked at the three of them speechlessly, not understanding if they were on a high or something, why they were so excited. Was getting rid of him really that joyful?

“Ten minutes, and you'll have an answer,” Ye Lin said indifferently.

“Still pretending, just keep pretending.”

“Alright, we'll give you ten minutes. Let's see what tricks you can pull.”

The three put down their pens, looking like they were watching a show, observing Ye Lin.

Ye Lin shook his head, too lazy to waste words with them.

In less than two minutes, Ye Lin's phone rang.

A hint of surprise appeared on the three's faces. Could it really be that ‘uncle’?

“Damn it, I'm in a board meeting right now, a project worth hundreds of millions. What's so urgent?” Wang Chao's displeased voice came from the other end of the phone.

“Transfer a million to me. I need it now, quickly.” Ye Lin didn't bother to be polite with his uncle.

“Damn it, for such a small amount of money, why don't you ask my sister? Alright, alright, I'll transfer it to you right away.”

“You still have seven minutes, hurry up.”

“Alright, my little ancestor, I really don't know who the uncle is.”

Amidst Wang Chao's complaints, the call ended.

“You borrowed it?” Ling Zhao asked with a mocking look.

“Yep. It'll be transferred immediately, about two minutes.”

“Hahahahaha, Ye Lin, your acting is really something. You borrowed it just by saying a few words? Do you take us for fools?” Shen Tianhua stood up and questioned him.

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Lin's phone chimed with a message.

Ye Lin opened it and saw that the transfer had arrived.

He stood up directly and placed his phone in front of Ling Zhao, “Section Chief Ling, ten minutes, borrowed a million, no problem, right?”

The three leaned in to look, and the message clearly stated that the Great Xia Bank had received a transfer of one million.

“This…”

The three exchanged glances. Was this real?

After repeated confirmation, the three could only sit down in shock. At this moment, their eyes held a hint of apprehension when they looked at Ye Lin.
