145: A whole box
"From the moment you and your daughter accused me of rape, you should have known this would be the outcome."
Chen Su looked at the handcuffed Xu Jing, his heart completely calm, even feeling a bit like laughing.
"I was wrong before, I apologize to you. Please let us go, I promise I won't appear in front of you again." Xu Jing recognized the situation and lowered her head to plead.
Seeing Xu Jing like this, Chen Su gave a cold sneer.
"So now you know you're wrong? Where was this earlier? Apologizing only now."
"Too late!!!"
Chen Su's attitude was extremely cold. Xu Jing was so anxious she was almost crying; she really didn't want to go to prison.
"Chen Su, what do you want from us to let us go?"
"I'll treat you exactly how you treated me. It's only fair. In this society, being the 'weaker party' doesn't mean you're in the right."
After Chen Su finished speaking, he ignored Xu Jing. Staying with her for even one more second made him feel disgusted.
He turned and walked over to Gao Fei.
"Officer Gao, I'll leave the rest to you. As for the money Xu Jing swindled from me, I've already hired a lawyer and will file a lawsuit in court in a couple of days."
"Mr. Chen, please rest assured. We will definitely give you a satisfactory resolution," Gao Fei said with a nod.
"Alright, thank you for your hard work. I have some things to do, so I'll be going now."
Chen Su said goodbye to the several Police Officers present and turned to walk out... Seeing Chen Su leave so resolutely, Xu Jing panicked even more and shouted behind him.
"Chen Su, I really know I was wrong! Can't you just let me go?"
By now, she was sobbing uncontrollably... Did she really know she was wrong?
I highly doubt it!!!
...Beside her, He Youwen looked at the pathetic Xu Jing, feeling no less satisfied than Chen Su.
Not only did he not offer her a tissue.
Instead, he mocked her from the side, "Xu Jing, keep shouting. Even if you scream until your throat is raw, no one will save you. Accept your fate!!"
...After Chen Su left the Public Security Bureau, it was already 5:30.
Li Chuxia wasn't coming home for dinner tonight, so he had a simple bowl of noodles at a small shop outside his residential area.
After returning home, he put the suitcase he had dug out at noon into the car.
Then, he sent a message to Wei Yutao.
"Help me turn off the surveillance for the entire Building 17 of Lotus New City Residential Area in Maple City. One hour is enough, from seven to eight."
Wei Yutao: "5,000 yuan."
Chen Su directly transferred five thousand over to him.
"Should I also turn off the cameras in the underground parking lot near Building 17? Just asking, no extra charge."
Wei Yutao's computer screen clearly displayed the surveillance layout of the entire Lotus New City Residential Area in Maple City.
"Turn those off too then."
"Okay."
...After finishing the arrangements, Chen Su drove toward the Lotus New City Residential Area residential area in Maple City.
He drove straight to the elevator entrance of Building 17 and parked.
After getting out of the car, Chen Su opened the trunk and took out the suitcase.
He pressed the elevator button and walked toward the studio apartment he was renting... Time slowly reached seven o'clock.
At 7:05, Chen Su, wearing gloves and carrying the suitcase, walked out of the rental room and took the elevator to the 18th Floor.
Walking to Room 1802, he quickly typed in the door's passcode.
Once the door opened, Chen Su quickly slipped inside... The decoration of Room 1802 was fairly standard, but there were a lot of cabinets.
Chen Su walked into a room and casually opened a bedside cabinet... What met his eyes were bright red hundred-yuan bills, filling the entire cabinet.
He then opened the wardrobe and the desk drawers.
Even the tattered sacks in the storage room were filled with money.
This world really is something.
Some are parched with thirst, while others are drowned in the flood.
Chen Su took another look around; in the entire house, anywhere that could hold something was filled with money.
The intel said that except for the money in the refrigerator, Zhang Weiguang kept records of everything else.
Chen Su didn't dare move those... The refrigerator in the house wasn't large, a top-and-bottom double-door model.
Chen Su opened the upper refrigerator door.
Every shelf in the refrigerator was filled with money, and even the small slots behind the door were packed with red bills.
Chen Su opened the suitcase and began putting the money inside, bundle by bundle.
The money in the upper section was quickly cleared out.
Chen Su pulled open the bottom refrigerator door.
It was also piled high with bills.
He was quick and nimble, swiftly taking out the money and putting it into the suitcase... Chen Su was a bit excited.
"I've really struck it rich this time."
The suitcase he brought was quite large.
It was enough to hold all the money from the refrigerator... After taking all the money from the fridge, Chen Su zipped up the suitcase.
Then he took some money out of each of the other cabinets and put it into the refrigerator.
The emptied refrigerator was soon refilled... Originally, Chen Su was going to leave directly, but in a suite used for hiding money...
Every place that could hold things was filled with money.
It wouldn't make sense to have an empty refrigerator.
So, to avoid suspicion.
He moved some money from several other cabinets.
Making the hidden money in the room look even, neat, and uniform... After finishing this, Chen Su first checked the peephole to see if anyone was around.
After confirming no one was there, he cautiously opened the door and walked out, closing it gently.
He pressed the elevator button and went straight to the basement level, the underground parking lot... All four apartments on this 18th Floor belonged to Zhang Weiguang.
Besides Zhang Weiguang, it was almost impossible for anyone else to appear here.
Otherwise, how would the cunning Zhang Weiguang dare to keep the money here... However, the system hadn't mentioned this, and Chen Su didn't know.
Better safe than sorry; it's always better to be cautious.
After all, with a pie falling from the sky like this, you never know who might want a bite... After putting the suitcase in the trunk, Chen Su sat back in the car and took a deep breath.
He checked the time; it was already 7:40.
While the surveillance was still off, he hit the gas.
He drove out of the Lotus New City Residential Area residential area and headed toward Crystal Lake Mirror... As soon as he got home, he couldn't wait to drag the suitcase back to his room and count the loot.
"97!"
"98!"
"99!"
... "169!"
... "180!"
A full one hundred and eighty bundles.
1.8 million yuan!
... Chen Su put the money scattered on the floor back into the suitcase one by one.
Counting as he put them back.
Still 180 bundles.
That's right, exactly 1.8 million.
This money really solved his urgent need.
Adding the 4.71 million plus in his bank card, the disposable cash he had on him was now around 6.5 million yuan.
To buy the Gas Cylinder Factory, he needed ten million yuan.
Still short by 3.5 million.
Ye Sheng wouldn't be able to come up with that much money all at once.
When Li Chuxia comes back, he'll just ask to borrow it from her.
It's not like he hasn't borrowed from her before anyway... He hid the suitcase under the bed.
Chen Su went to the living room, turned on the TV, and sat on the sofa to watch.
The fifty million in Zhang Weiguang's house wasn't going anywhere either.
Tomorrow, he'd notify He Youwen to go and search it... Around ten o'clock, Li Chuxia opened the door and came in.
"I'm back~"
Chen Su looked back and saw Li Chuxia carrying large and small bags of things again.
"Did you go to another feast?"
...
