I was just playing tricks, how come I became Bai Yueguang

Chapter 576 Drawing fire from the bottom of the cauldron

as predicted.

Everyone present immediately fell silent, and no one dared to question anymore.

Witnessing this scene, Shen Lanxi, Shen Guiling and Shen Qingyu each had different emotions in their eyes.

Experience is the best teacher. Shen Zhuang's move enlightened the three people. The ultimate strategy is to calculate people's hearts and make them submit.

If the old man just keeps making excuses for Shen Jiao, people will inevitably be divided.

But he grabbed the opponent's throat as soon as he made a move, and after letting go, he showed kindness and righteousness, using both kindness and force, which made people feel awe.

Just like Yu Siwen, he knew what Shen Zhuang’s purpose was, but in order to avoid being infamous in history, he had no choice but to surrender.

He closed the wooden box, stood up, walked over to Shen Zhuang, and offered it with both hands. "Old man, I'm deeply sorry for what happened to Miss Shen. The security of Jinggang Harbor is related to the livelihood of the people. In this bright and clear world, someone dared to break into a private house and poison people. Don't worry, the government will get to the bottom of this matter and make sure Miss Shen gets an explanation."

Zhou Guochao's face looked extremely ugly.

The president represents the government's position. With Yu Swen's words, even if Shen Jiao opened a drug farm at home, the Shen family could still clear themselves of all charges.

More importantly, if Shen Jiaoruo is cleared of all charges, it would be a disguised admission that there are problems with the police station's law enforcement procedures. Once it is attributed to law enforcement errors, everything Zhou Yuanbai is experiencing now will be what he deserves.

In this game between the Zhou family and the Shen family, the Zhou family lost all their face.

But if it shouldn't...

Zhou Guochao tightly grasped the skewer in his hand. Once Shenzhuang started selling off national bonds, the government would put pressure on the Zhou family in order to maintain the stability of Country A. At that time, they might even be accused of disrupting the country's foundation.

How can this be, you old fox!

Su Jingliu was enjoying the fun, "Old Zhou, why are you silent? If all else fails, the Zhou family can buy out the Shen family's three power companies and then give them to the country. Maybe even after you die, the government can fly flags at half-mast."

"..."

Such vicious words.

Zhou Guochao's eyelids twitched, and even his breathing became heavier. "What do you want?"

Su Jingliu laughed happily, "I only give you advice when it's none of my business. If it's my business, who would care about you?"

These old powerful people have been fighting each other for a lifetime, and are both enemies and friends. The others watched and wisely did not intervene.

Yao Li looked at Shen Zhuang with awe and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, I had the foresight to choose the Shen family. Now it seems that the strength revealed by the Shen family is just the tip of the iceberg.

His eyes turned slightly, scanning everyone in the Shen family one by one, and when his gaze fell on Shen Guiling, he paused for a moment.

Shen Guiling felt the scrutiny and looked over.

Yao Li nodded imperceptibly and looked away.

Yao Li still had a good impression of the young master of the Shen family who saved his son.

Gu Cifeng didn't say a word the whole time. The old lady didn't come today, so he deliberately chose a seat in a corner to avoid being seen.

Seeing that Shen Zhuang had no intention of taking back the wooden box, Yu Siwen gritted his teeth and became more humble. "I will personally supervise this matter and give the Shen family a satisfactory explanation."

He was helpless if Shenzhuang only threw out the national debt and the power company, but there were more than just these two accounts that the Shen family could use as a threat.

Two years ago, Shen Zhuang went on a diplomatic mission to Country S and personally signed the Flower Sea Plan. In order to maintain friendly exchanges between the two countries, the Shen family invested hundreds of billions of yuan in the construction costs of talent transportation alone, not to mention that the Shen family also controlled more than 50% of Country A's real economy. If these companies declared bankruptcy, most of the people in the country would face the crisis of unemployment and layoffs.

The goal had been achieved, and Shen Zhuang stopped making things difficult. His gaze lingered on Yu Siwen's face, and he raised his hand to take the wooden box.

"In that case, let's settle another account."

Yu Siwen's eyebrows twitched, and he suddenly had a bad feeling, "There's still a debt?"

Shen Zhuang handed the wooden box to Zheng Song, picked up the cup and took a sip, looking calm.

"Didn't Mr. Zhou just want to settle the law enforcement procedures? Go, invite the police officers from the Procuratorate and the Weiyang Branch in."

Zhou Guochao's eyes moved slightly, and his expression became serious.

Shen Zhuang never does meaningless things. Mentioning the Procuratorate and Weiyang Branch at this time may be due to ulterior motives.

Soon, two men in plain clothes were brought in. It was obvious that neither of them had experienced such a situation before, and their expressions looked a little embarrassed.

"Ou Haisheng, Team Leader of the Special Investigations Department of the Public Prosecutions Department."

"I'm Jin Xian, the captain of the Weiyang Branch Police Department."

Yu Siwen glanced at Shen Zhuang and turned back to his seat.

Shen Zhuang looked around and said slowly, "We asked these two officers to come here so that everyone can understand the whole incident and find out whose law enforcement procedures are wrong."

Zhou Guochao's eyelids twitched inexplicably. At this time, he had realized that he had fallen into the Shen family's trap, but he had already lost the initiative and it was futile to struggle.

Jin Xian swallowed hard and spoke carefully, "The night before yesterday, the Weiyang Police Station received a call claiming someone was trying to poison and assassinate them."

As soon as this topic was brought up, everyone's expressions changed immediately. Shen Jiao had the accident yesterday, but the call to the police was made the night before yesterday. This was too weird. Could it be that someone could predict the future?

Shen Guiling lowered his eyelids and drank tea as if nothing had happened.

Jin Xian continued, "At first we thought it was a prank and ignored it, but the man persisted and called more than a dozen times in a row. Later, I realized something was wrong and answered the call to the police myself."

"Through investigation, we learned that the address the caller gave was Miss Shen's residence. For safety reasons, the police station even contacted the security department at Weiyang Terrace. The security department said that Miss Shen doesn't usually live at Weiyang Terrace, and it's likely someone is playing a prank."

"I was still worried, so I took a few brothers to patrol the area around Weiyangtai. We didn't find the suspicious person the caller mentioned until we packed up in the early morning."

"At three in the morning, the police called again, urging us to go to Weiyangtai to catch the murderer. Based on my previous on-site investigation, I assumed it was a prank, so I not only ignored her call but also scolded her."

"She was also very angry and even threatened me that if the police turned a blind eye, she would take extraordinary measures to defend herself. I felt like I was being played and was upset, so I sarcastically told her that if she could catch the criminal gang, the Whale Harbor Police Department would award her with a Citizen Medal of Valor. After that, the caller hung up and never called again."

"Nonsense!" Zhou Guochao slammed the table and stood up. "What benefits did the Shen family give you? How dare you confuse right and wrong in front of us?!"

Zhang Xian was startled, fearing he might have offended these powerful figures. He trembled as he explained, "I... I didn't... The police call and the dispatch log are all on record. Also, my colleagues who responded to the call the day before yesterday can testify. Oh, and there's also the Procuratorate. Because the caller mentioned drugs, I specifically reported this to the Procuratorate's Organization and Investigation Department. The Procuratorate can also testify."

Zhou Guochao, “…”
