Chapter 61: What Kind of Immortal
In the interrogation room, a middle-aged man with a square face fixed his gaze on Wang Huan. He poured a glass of water for Wang Huan and said, “Wang Huan, you’ve met with your family and lawyer. Is there anything else you want to tell us?”
Wang Huan smiled bitterly and said, “Captain Zhang, I was deceived. I never expected that a friend of so many years would set me up like this.” He angrily ran his hands through his hair, saying, “I didn’t know it was a trap.”
The officer approached him and patted his shoulder, not knowing what to say. But after a deep conversation, this square-faced man had his own opinion. However, the problem was that his opinion couldn’t represent the law. Suddenly, someone walked in and whispered a few words in his ear.
The man was shocked and turned his head in surprise. The person nodded slowly, with a hint of confusion in their eyes. After a moment of silence, he said, “Wang Huan, someone wants to see you. Come with us.”
“Huh?” Wang Huan raised his head in confusion, not knowing what to do.
Lawyer Chen whispered to the others in the visitor’s room, “Everyone, visiting hours are over today. We should leave now. Otherwise, it might not be a good thing for Mr. Wang.”
Wang De and the others were startled and turned to look at Fang Jian. They had already planned to leave, following Lawyer Chen’s suggestion. However, Fang Jian urged them to stay longer because he had something to consult with his Master.
Lawyer Chen was extremely impatient. Did this out-of-town kid think he could sort everything out with just one phone call?
After all, this was the judicial authority we were dealing with. However, since the parties involved were all present and he was cautious, he refrained from making sarcastic remarks. But as time went on, he was gradually losing patience. However, just at that moment, the door was pushed open once again.
A square-faced man walked in and asked, “Excuse me, are you the family of Wang Huan?”
“Yes, yes,” Wang Meng hurriedly stepped forward and replied.
“Wang Huan is already in the conference room. If you want to see him, please come over.”
Wang Meng and the other family members were overjoyed and went with Fang Jian. Behind them, Lawyer Chen stared wide-eyed, his gaze flickering. He was filled with curiosity.
Fang Jian’s accent indicated that he was an outsider. Moreover, Liu Ruoxi just said that he had rushed here from out of town. However, a single phone call made the strong-willed management staff yield.
This level of influence… I have underestimated this person. He quickly followed inside.
At that moment, Wang Huan looked up and suddenly saw Fang Jian. He couldn’t help but rub his eyes in disbelief and said, “Fang, Fang Jian, is it really you?”
Fang Jian smiled and said, “Master, you’re exaggerating…” He paused for a moment and asked, “What exactly happened? Can you tell me?” Fang Jian spoke seriously, “Master, I know your character well. You would never seek unjust gains.”
Wang Huan’s eyes grew excited.
Nodding vigorously, Wang Huan said, “Fang Jian, I used to teach you not to be greedy and cautious in doing business with others. But… I ended up making the same mistake.”
On that day, a long-time friend with whom he had collaborated for many years suddenly visited him and mentioned having some gold to sell. The quantity was substantial, estimated at around 50 million Chinese yuan.
If it were someone else, Wang Huan would not have been swayed. However, this person was not only his client but also his fellow villager and a brother with whom he had decades of friendship.
Moreover, they had conducted similar transactions several times, although those were with his former employer, not the current private company. Although Wang Huan was cautious and only agreed to pay one-fifth of the prepayment, he never expected that his fellow villager would disappear after receiving the payment. The rest of the story was already known.
Fang Jian nodded slowly and said, “Is this Captain Zhang? I want to bail out my Master. What procedures do I need to complete?”
The lawyer Chen sneered to the side, thinking to himself.
I’ve said it many times before this case is not simple.
To be successfully released on bail, you must come up with 10 million yuan. Otherwise, they won’t agree to it. However, the next moment, Captain Zhang uttered a statement that left Lawyer Chen unable to believe his ears.
“You want to bail him out?”
“Yes.”
“All right, here’s the bail document. Just sign it, and you can take him away.”
Lawyer Chen’s eyes widened gradually. What the hell kind of immortal had he encountered?
