166: Chapter 166 Exterminate All
The next morning at 10:00 AM.
The atmosphere in the detention center visiting room was oppressive and cold.
An iron table separated the two sides. On one side sat a grim-faced Sun Guoqiang; on the other sat Judge Zhao, who had accompanied them, and Lin Ning, who stood quietly to the side.
The moment the door closed, Lin Ning's eyes narrowed slightly as his Eye of Insight silently activated.
Countless fragmented yet critical images flooded into his mind like a tide.
Fake divorce, asset transfers, hollowing out the company, using new loans to repay old ones, buying dead people's identities, opening shell companies, laundering money through multiple accounts, hiding tens of millions...
Every secret lay bare before Lin Ning.
Judge Zhao checked his watch and reminded him in a low voice, "You only have five minutes. If there's anything you need to verify, ask quickly."
Lin Ning nodded slightly, walked to the iron table, and let his calm gaze fall upon Sun Guoqiang.
The man before him had graying hair and a ruddy complexion, carrying the stubborn air of a dead pig that doesn't fear boiling water. His chin was slightly raised, and he looked at Judge Zhao with contempt, caring even less for a youngster like Lin Ning.
Lin Ning suddenly smiled.
"Mr. Sun, I'm only here today to verify a few small matters with you."
Sun Guoqiang sneered, not bothering to speak.
Unfazed, Lin Ning unhurriedly threw out his first question:
"Do you know Lawyer Wang Ting? The one who handled the divorce agreement for you and Liu Xiuxiu six years ago."
Sun Guoqiang's eyelid twitched and his expression changed slightly, but he still held his ground. "Don't know him."
"Don't know him?"
Lin Ning chuckled, his tone suddenly turning cold.
"Then let me remind you. In your 2018 divorce, all savings and real estate were given to your ex-wife, and you transferred fifty million to Liu Xiuxiu in the name of 'compensation.' How generous!"
Lin Ning paused for a moment. "This money was embezzled from the company accounts in two installments, wasn't it?"
"What was that called again..."
Lin Ning looked up, articulating every word clearly.
"Crime of misappropriation of funds, involving a particularly large amount."
The expression on Sun Guoqiang's face began to freeze in horror.
"Nonsense!" he suddenly growled.
"I didn't! That was the division of joint marital property!"
"Joint property?"
Lin Ning's smile grew even colder.
"The company's debts, cash flow, and accounting vouchers at that time—did you think they couldn't be found just because you liquidated the company? Or do you think the accountant who kept your books for six whole years will keep your secrets forever? Oh, her name is Liu Wen, isn't it?!"
"If the police want to investigate, they can have all the evidence in front of you within three days."
Sun Guoqiang's face turned pale at a visible rate.
His breathing became rapid, and his chest heaved violently.
Lin Ning didn't stop. Like a cat playing with a mouse, he leisurely threw out the second question.
His voice was as soft as a whisper, yet it struck Sun Guoqiang like a thunderbolt.
"Let me ask you about another person. Sun Weiming, do you know him?"
"Under his name, there is a company called Weiming Consulting."
Sun Guoqiang's whole body shuddered violently, and his pupils constricted as if someone had ruthlessly struck his most fatal weakness!
Looking at his terror-stricken state, Lin Ning's smile became increasingly gentle, but his words were like daggers to the heart.
"No need to pretend, I know everything."
"That Sun Weiming died abroad long ago. You bought his identity through a black market intermediary and found someone to impersonate him to register the company. All of this was done so you could transfer and hide all the money you earned over the last four years before going bankrupt."
"During the real estate boom years, besides living on loans, you did make some money. Along with the money you owed, it was all hidden in that shell company."
"The amount is in the tens of millions."
"Am I right?"
With every word that fell, Sun Guoqiang's body twitched.
Cold sweat instantly soaked his back and poured down his forehead.
His lips trembled, his eyes grew vacant, and his whole body seemed to have its bones removed as he slumped into the chair.
It was over.
Everything was over.
His most secret and secure backup plan had been stripped bare by this young man!
Lin Ning watched his breakdown but still didn't stop.
The final blow was aimed straight at the heart, driving him to a dead end.
He leaned in slightly, his smile like a demon from the abyss, his voice so soft only the two of them could hear.
"There's one last thing. I advise you to accept reality sooner rather than later."
"The fifty million you transferred to Liu Xiuxiu back then, as well as the real estate, savings, and luxury goods she later gifted to your children..."
"According to the new regulations, creditors can legally revoke all of them."
"Your divorce agreement is invalid, and the gifts are invalid."
"The money your son squandered abroad, the luxury mansion your daughter bought, the assets in Liu Xiuxiu's hands..."
"Everything must be spit back out to repay the debts."
"Not a single cent will escape."
"Ah—!!!"
Sun Guoqiang suddenly let out a shrill roar, clutching his chest tightly. His face turned purple, his eyes rolled back, and he nearly fainted on the spot.
His whole body convulsed violently, his voice carrying a desperate sob.
"No... it can't be like this... you can't do this... I beg you... I was wrong..."
"I'll pay the money back... I'll pay it all... just don't touch my wife and children... I'm begging you..."
A prominent debt-dodger was now completely broken, snot and tears flowing as he knelt on the ground and pleaded.
Judge Zhao watched from the side, dumbfounded.
He never imagined that in just a few minutes, a stubborn debt-dodger would turn into this state.
He was even afraid Sun Guoqiang might suffer a sudden death from the shock, so he quickly stepped forward and pulled Lin Ning back. "Enough! That's enough for now! Any more and something will happen!"
Lin Ning straightened up smoothly, his eyes cold, not giving Sun Guoqiang another look.
Trash doesn't deserve it.
The two of them walked out of the visiting room.
Judge Zhao was still shaken, looking at Lin Ning with eyes full of disbelief.
"You... how did you know so clearly? Even the dead person's identity, the shell company, the cash flow, the accountant, the lawyer... you knew it all?"
Lin Ning turned around.
The bone-chilling gaze from a moment ago instantly vanished, replaced by a bright, harmless, and sunny smile.
"Judge Zhao, I run an investment investigation company. Investigating people and assets is my unique specialty."
"All the information was deduced from public records. It's absolutely legal and compliant, so please rest assured."
"As for the specific methods... they're trade secrets, so I won't share them with you."
He paused, his smile sincere and open.
"I will send all the organized clues, evidence, company names, identity information, and key cash flow points to your email."
"The rest I'll leave to you."
Judge Zhao swallowed hard, unable to speak.
Lin Ning's smile was radiant.
"Nothing more needs to be said. Once the case is executed, just remember to send the reward to me on time."
After saying that, he didn't linger and turned to walk away.
The sunlight fell on him, his figure looking clean, sharp, and carefree.
Meanwhile, in the detention room, Sun Guoqiang's desperate roars could faintly be heard.
From this day forward.
Sun Guoqiang's money, his family, his backup plan, his freedom...
Everything had vanished into thin air!
