128: Li Haipeng's Arrival

“I only need the names of the supporting shareholders and their shareholdings.”

Gao Ze reiterated, offering no further explanation.

As an internal member of Jiangs Jia Hua Group, Jiang Qianyu might have had some understanding of those executives, but this was limited to superficial knowledge, so how could it compare to the terrifying power of an intelligence system?

An intelligence system could potentially reach the deepest secrets and weaknesses within a person's heart.

Jiang Qianyu and Lili both fell silent, their minds racing with thoughts.

Gao Ze was so confident; if it wasn't backed by immense strength, then he was just spouting nonsense.

But they both knew Gao Ze's character; he was never one to boast, always pragmatic and precise.

Yet, what kind of backing did Gao Ze possess that would allow him to influence a large company with a market value of seventy to eighty billion, affecting the decisions of shareholders worth hundreds of millions, even billions, and making them abandon their support for Jiang Ruiming?

“What's wrong?”

Gao Ze looked at the silent Jiang Qianyu and chuckled, “Do you think I can't help you?”

“No!”

Jiang Qianyu shook her head and smiled, saying, “I always trust Mr. Gao, I'm just curious, how exactly will you help me?”

“If you're curious, then you'll see it tomorrow night!”

“Tomorrow night?”

Jiang Qianyu and Lili both widened their eyes.

Especially Lili, her heart was already in turmoil.

As an insider planted by Jiang Ruiming beside Jiang Qianyu, she knew well Jiang Ruiming's formidable ability and patient mindset, having meticulously planned for this situation for over three years.

How could Gao Ze say he could resolve it by tomorrow night?

“Do you think tomorrow night is a long time?”

“Of course not!” Jiang Qianyu quickly shook her head, moved.

“Then, as I requested, tell me the names of those shareholders and their shareholdings in Jiangs Jia Hua Group!”

“Okay!” Jiang Qianyu nodded and said, “The first one is my uncle, Jiang Wenmin, with a 10% shareholding!”

“The second is Li Guobang, the CFO of Jiahua Group, a trusted confidant of my father Jiang Wenhao, with a 3% shareholding!”

“The third is Zhou Xiaodong, the private investment shareholder with the largest stake, founder of Taisheng Group, with a 5% shareholding!”

“Li Yanping, Xu Chenfeng, Chen Zhending...”

“Who did you say, Chen Zhending?”

Gao Ze was very surprised to hear the name of a suspect in Yu Meichan's case on the list of Jiahua Group shareholders, and Chen Zhending was also a Jiahua shareholder who supported Jiang Ruiming.

“Mr. Gao, do you know Chen Zhending?”

Jiang Qianyu keenly noticed a connection between Gao Ze and Chen Zhending.

“Barely, but you can tell me about him!”

“I don't know much about Chen Zhending either, only that he's a private shareholder in our Jiahua, and his identity is the founder of Donghai City's Hengli Group, with a market value of several billion!”

Jiang Qianyu said, “Chen Zhending holds 2% of our Jiahua.”

“Very good, I understand now.”

After listening to Jiang Qianyu list some more shareholder names, Gao Ze stood up, satisfied.

“Mr. Gao is leaving?”

Jiang Qianyu was bewildered; Gao Ze had only listened to the internal factions and shareholder situation of Jiahua Group, and hadn't yet revealed his plan to help her.

“Indeed, I have other matters to attend to!”

“I will definitely help you, don't worry, just wait for my notification!”

Although the Municipal Bureau had approved his leave, Gao Ze still wanted to go to the Pudong Public Security Bureau to inquire about the follow-up to the Xingsheng Bank robbery.

The system's intelligence mentioned that there were significant issues with the source of the robbers' firearms, and that the robber Liu Kangmei was also a gang member of the Jiang Province Seven Stars Gang, which had now become the Seven Stars Real Estate Company.

“Okay, I'll await Mr. Gao's notification!”

Jiang Qianyu took a deep breath; if Gao Ze hadn't already told her that he would “resolve her crisis by tomorrow night,” she would probably be pressing for answers right now.

“I'll see you out, Mr. Gao!”

“No need, just have Lili see me out, I have something to say to her!”

“What does Mr. Gao want to say to me?”

Lili escorted Gao Ze out of the bar, accompanying him into the elevator, where only the two of them remained in the quiet, confined space.

“What do you think?” Gao Ze smiled mysteriously.

“How would I know?”

Lili gave Gao Ze a beautiful and charming eye-roll, lightly huffing, “On WeChat, I don't know how many messages I've sent you, like a desperate admirer, but Mr. Gao never replies to me!”

“Now Mr. Gao wants to talk to me, is he perhaps wanting to apologize to me?”

“Or perhaps he wants to buy me a drink—no, I should be buying Mr. Gao a drink; you saved my life inside Xingsheng Bank!”

“You don't owe me anything for Xingsheng Bank; I saved you, but you also helped me a great deal!”

Gao Ze couldn't help but recall the smell of Lili's fear in the bank and chuckled, “Guess again!”

“Could it be that Mr. Gao wants to do something bad to me?”

Lili's index finger boldly traced and slid across Gao Ze's chest, her beautiful eyes soft as water, her breath like orchids, gently caressing Gao Ze's cheek.

“Then I'll be direct. Will you tell Jiang Ruiming about my conversation with Jiang Qianyu at the bar?”

“Why would I tell Jiang Ruiming?”

Lili's face was as calm as deep water, her finger still sliding, and she whispered, “I've only met Miss Jiang's eldest brother a few times; we're not familiar at all. Besides, I'm Miss Jiang's person.”

“Is that so?”

Gao Ze smiled slightly and said, “Then why did you accept the five hundred thousand Jiang Ruiming gave you back then?”

Boom!

A thunderclap suddenly struck Lili's mind, her face instantly changed dramatically, and her fingers froze.

Clang!

Just then, the elevator opened, and Gao Ze stepped out directly.

Lili was a clever person; there was no need for more words, a single reminder was enough.

“Mr. Gao, Mr. Gao...”

“Officer Gao, what do you want?”

Lili shouted repeatedly, but Gao Ze didn't turn back or respond, proceeding to the Pudong Public Security Bureau as planned.

“...”

“Gao Ze, why are you here?”

“Xiao Gao, your gunshot wound hasn't healed yet. The police station doesn't need you. Hurry back to the hospital for treatment. Come back once you're fully recovered!”

Colleagues and friends at the Traffic Police Center were excited to see Gao Ze, and Captain Zhou Weiguo scrutinized Gao Ze from head to toe, urging him to return to the hospital as if he were a panda.

“Alright, alright, I'll definitely go back to the hospital.”

“But how will the follow-up to the Xingsheng Bank robbery be handled?”

Gao Ze inquired, “Liu Kangmei's gang of over ten people were armed with guns. Where did their firearms come from? This is a major issue!”

“Don't worry, the Municipal Bureau leaders can think of everything you can think of!”

Zhou Weiguo said, “The Municipal Bureau Criminal Investigation Detachment has already interrogated the bank manager and the surviving robber who was rescued overnight, digging up a lot of case information!”

“The source of their firearms is related to the Jiang Province Seven Stars Gang. Oh, the Seven Stars Gang has now changed its name to Seven Stars Real Estate Company.”

Gao Ze, of course, knew this information and tentatively asked, “The case involves other provinces and cities, so an inter-provincial investigation is needed?”

“Of course, we must investigate, and investigate thoroughly!”

“Do you know how furious all levels of Donghai City departments were about the Xingsheng Bank robbery? We are a super first-tier city, yet we encountered such a serious security crisis. If it weren't for you at that time, the consequences would have been unimaginable.”

Zhou Weiguo said, “Therefore, leaders from all levels of Donghai City departments have demanded that the Municipal Bureau thoroughly investigate and uproot the entire network, and they have already assigned personnel to investigate in Jiang Province and Su City!”

Gao Ze curiously asked, “Who was assigned to investigate?”

“You know this person too, it's Old Shen. He's been in this position for many years and needs a major achievement to get promoted.”

“An inter-provincial investigation faces numerous difficulties and obstacles, and it might touch upon local powers, which would be very dangerous for Shen Team!”

“Don't worry, Shen Gang is an experienced criminal investigator and knows the gravity of the situation. Plus, we've sent quite a few people, so safety shouldn't be much of an issue.”

Gao Ze sighed inwardly, and after chatting for a while, he headed to the Criminal Investigation Center, but he couldn't find Captain Shen Gang.

“Let's go, first go to the hospital to complete the discharge procedures!”

Shen Gang might have gone to the Municipal Bureau, or he might have already left Donghai City, so Gao Ze had no choice but to go to the hospital.

But as soon as he stepped out of the police station entrance, a black Maybach parked outside slowly rolled down its window.

“Hello, Officer Gao, I'm Li Haipeng, I've been waiting for you for a long time.”

The car window lowered, revealing a cynical face.
