Chapter 277: Hidden in the Trunk

Wu Mei had no choice but to compromise and tell Mother Wu her location.

When Mother Wu heard the word “detention center”, she was very scared. “Aren’t there many suspects there? Isn’t it very dangerous?”

Wu Mei looked at the busy police officers and said with a smile, “Mom, there are also a lot of reassuring police officers here.”

Just then, the Police Chief walked out of the office with a pair of dark circles under his eyes. He nodded at them.

Is there news about Mo Li?

After exchanging a few words with Mother Wu, Wu Mei followed Li Nanchen into the Police Chief’s office. The news she received was that Mo Li had already left the place where she was staying and could not be located for the time being. Moreover, a servant had died from a gunshot.

The office fell into a dead silence. Mo Li’s presence was unexpected and made sense.

After all, as the boss behind the scenes, it would be stupid of her to obediently wait for the police to come knocking after the incident.

The Police Chief looked at Wu Mei and rubbed his temples. He said tiredly, “You have to be mentally prepared. Wu Pang might have taken his hostage to find Mo Li. Something might have happened to the hostage.”

Wu Mei’s brows were tightly knitted together. “No. The Wu Corporation is still under lockdown. Everyone who left has been inspected.”

As a grown man and with an assistant in tow, Wu Pang could not escape the eyes of so many people.

However, Li Nanchen was not optimistic. Hoping that Wu Mei would be objective, he reminded her sternly, “Don’t forget that there are many people in the Wu Corporation who will help Wu Pang for the sake of money.”

The internal management of the Wu Corporation would be a mess, precisely because many people would want to earn quick money from Wu Pang.

Wu Mei could only stay in the Police Chief’s office and wait for the news. At the same time, she went to investigate the other suspects in the Wu Corporation.

In the end, Qin Yang received the news first.

Just as Li Nanchen was walking toward Wu Mei with a cup of coffee, he received a message from Qin Yang.

After staying up all night, Qin Yang finally discovered that the employee who had acquired the Wu Corporation’s shares was also an ambitious but incompetent second-generation heir.

After entering the company through his connections with Wu Pang, he did simple work but earned more than anyone else.

Li Nanchen turned back to look at Wu Mei and said softly, “The Wu Corporation is really full of hidden talents. Continue.”

After being inspected, the rich second-generation heir left the Wu Corporation in an empty car. When he returned home, it was as if he had received the news beforehand and started to buy large amounts of stocks at a low price.

Investigating these things sounded very simple, but it required a lot of effort.

“You’ve worked hard,” Li Nanchen said gratefully.

Qin Yang gave a wry smile. “Boss Li, if you think that I’ve worked hard, please approve my annual leave.”

Li Nanchen could not help but laugh. He could only make a verbal promise first. “Don’t worry. After this matter is settled, you can have your leave.”

When Qin Yang heard this reply, he reckoned that he might not have a chance to take his annual leave. He hung up the phone gloomily.

“Did you find him?” Wu Mei asked.

Li Nanchen shook his head. “Qin Yang found an employee who was buying stocks at a low price. He was a rich second-generation heir arranged by Wu Pang to enter the company. However, it seems that this has nothing to do with Wu Pang.”

The real surprise was that they could not find him.

Where is Wu Pang?

Was the assistant alive or dead?

At that moment, the assistant was curled up in the trunk of the car. The car was driving so fast that he was about to vomit.

The last thing he remembered was seeing Wu Pang again, before waking up in the trunk of a car.

The trunk was really dirty.

All he had to do was inhale, and he could smell the dust which suffocated him.

The assistant realized that his hands and feet were tied with ropes. The ropes were very strong and there was no possibility of him breaking free.

The car finally stopped.

He clearly heard the sound of the car door opening and closing. He immediately used all his strength to kick the door of the trunk and rammed against the back seat.

Not long after, the trunk door suddenly opened.

The dim street lights shone on his face.

As the assistant squinted and adapted to the light, he was lifted up by the collar.

Wu Pang said viciously, “Why did I get you out of the Corporation, you useless guy?”

The assistant squeezed out a smile and chuckled. “You can kill me too, but you wouldn’t dare.”

Wu Pang’s face twisted in anger as he glared at the young man. “Who says I wouldn’t dare? I can kill you right now.”

He took out a pistol and aimed it at the assistant’s head, but he didn’t pull the trigger.

“If you didn’t help Wu Mei deal with me, how would you have ended up like this?” Wu Pang clenched his fists and shouted.

The assistant looked at Wu Pang who was about to go crazy and replied loudly, “President Wu, turn yourself in. The evidence of your transaction is in the hands of the police.”

Where was the evidence?

Wu Pang recalled what had happened and said in horror and despair, “Do you have a camera on you?”

“Even if I don’t have a camera on me, President Wu’s conviction is a done deal. Even if you want to blame someone, blame Manager Cheng.” The assistant’s neck was tightly strangled by Wu Pang, and his pupils started to dilate.

“My mission was to ensure that Manager Cheng went to the underground car park.. He was the one who suggested giving me a ride.”
