"Clang clang clang!" He quickly pressed the alarm button and all the floor buttons, then frantically pressed the door open button.

"Open the door! Hurry up and open the door for me!"

However, the elevator did not open as he had expected, but instead jolted violently!

The next moment, the lights suddenly went out, and Xu Jingsong only felt a weightless sensation...

"Screech~~~~"

"Ah~~~~~~"

...

In the group lobby, two uniformed police officers were sitting on the sofa opposite the reception desk, waiting for news.

These two were no one else, it was Wang Zhao Ping and Qin Xiaoru!

"Captain Wang, you said that just as we returned from vacation and hadn't even warmed our seats, another big case immediately came up, and we're arresting a big fish like the head of the Xu Group.

Don't you feel that our criminal investigation team has been like Conan possessed this year, not a day without a case?

I reckon it won't be long before the commendation flags on our wall won't be able to hang anymore..."

"Stop the nonsense. It's only because the clues provided by Cui Jizhong involved the previous Yuan Li case that the bureau handed this investigation task to us.

Otherwise, a case like Idol Venture Capital would definitely be handled by the economic crime division.

Besides, do you think this is a good assignment? Look, didn't you see that group of people waving banners outside?

With the public's attention to this issue so high, the economic crime division guys probably threw this task to us and might be secretly laughing behind our backs."

Wang Zhao Ping pointed outside the Xu Group building.

Through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, one could see a group of men and women of all ages holding various banners saying "XX Celebrity Return My Hard-Earned Money!", "Xu Group Has No Conscience!", "No Support In Old Age! Total Loss!"... and shouting slogans.

Even inside the building, the noise from outside could be vaguely heard.

As the incident fermented, with Idol Venture Capital stopping payments amidst a run and the actual controller turning themselves in, various negative news spread, and all the investors finally panicked.

With Idol Venture Capital vacated and sealed, many affected investors could only come to protest tearfully in front of the Xu Group building against Xu Jingsong, the so-called "mastermind" behind it all, according to online rumors.

Qin Xiaoru looked at the crowd outside, mostly consisting of elderly people, and couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.

"These capitalists are really detestable, making money off shady means without any bottom line at all...

But who would have thought that the real mastermind behind the Yuan Li case would also be this dignified big entrepreneur in our city. You never truly know a person."

"Compared to that, Cui Jizhong's unexpected change of testimony is even more surprising..."

Having witnessed the tactics of these upper-class people, Wang Zhao Ping was well aware that someone like Cui Jizhong was basically a death warrior raised by large families.

When trouble arises, they truly stand firm.

Yet, for some unknown reason, his attitude suddenly changed, and he unhesitatingly exposed Xu Jingsong, his old employer.

Not only was it about Idol Venture Capital, but even the dirty deeds he previously helped Xu Jingsong with were revealed to the fullest.

This included the truth about the Yuan Li case...

Wang Zhao Ping still didn't know about Xu Jingsong's fall from grace, otherwise, he wouldn't have been so surprised.

Even if Gao Yuan didn't take action, people like Xu Bolin and Xu Jingfeng, who hated Xu Jingsong to the core, would never allow Xu Jingsong a chance to rise again.

Everyone knows that Xu Jingsong is vengeful; if you don't kill the snake, you risk being bitten in return.

Xu Jingfeng, the hothead, might not understand, but Xu Bolin, the old fox, certainly would...

With Xu Bolin holding power on one side, and Xu Jingsong reduced to a commoner on the other, as a scapegoat, what choice did Cui Jizhong have, really?

One must know that the punishment standards for an accomplice and a principal offender are completely different.

"Speaking of... Brother Meng and the Xu Group seem to have always been at odds..." Wang Zhao Ping mused, rubbing his chin.

From the very beginning with the Yuan Li case, to the anonymous tip-off saving Gao Yuan, and even the conspiracy involving a 5 million underground deal in his justice vehicle with Gao Yuan...

Although Meng Lang never mentioned it, from the various clues, it's quite clear that he has some intention against the Xu Group...

Gao Yuan, who turned against Xu Jingsong overnight, has now risen from being an unknown woman to one of the most sought-after entrepreneurs in Su Province and even across the country.

Changqing Biological, Baiyeji, Idol New Energy...

One after another, enterprises on the brink of death were miraculously revived in Gao Yuan's hands, radiating a vibrant vitality that captured the world's attention, and now they have become a colossus on par with the Xu Group...

All of this seemed to have started from that uneventful night...

So could today's disaster for the Xu Group also have anything to do with Brother Meng?

Previously overlooked details, now looking back at that night's police dispatch...

Could it be that he witnessed some incredible piece of history?

Just as Wang Zhao Ping's expression turned strange, pondering a world-class truth...

"Something's happened!"

"Quick, quick, quick!"

"Make way, make way, everyone make way!"

The lobby suddenly erupted in chaos, with seven or eight security guards rushing out in a bit of a panic, all charging towards the elevator shaft...

"Screech~" Before Wang Zhao Ping and the others could get up to see what happened, the sharp sound of metal friction reached their ears.

"The elevator! The elevator's malfunctioning!"

The experienced Wang Zhao Ping quickly realized the source of the sound and his face changed drastically.

Listening to the noise, it seemed the elevator was plummeting at an astonishing speed.
