Chapter 2143: 2146: All Under Control

In an instant, Wenren Meiqiao's white jade-like hand nervously gripped Shen Qiang's arm while staring at the screen. Then, she was surprised to see Zhai Zhijie's always calm expression visibly change, and his smile became strained."This is nonsense. As the president of Jinyao Group, I indeed have many foreign personnel around me, but my interactions with them are just ordinary business dealings."

Upon hearing this, Wenren Meiqiao was ecstatic: "It's an explanation; Zhai Zhijie is explaining himself! He's scared!"

Shen Qiang smiled and calmly said, "It's time to stop."

As if hearing Shen Qiang's words, the officer on the screen smiled slightly: "We will conduct related investigations. I wish Mr. Zhai a successful meeting."

After saying that, the two police officers bid farewell.

Afterward, Shen Qiang sat aside, picked up his headphones, and smiled, saying, "These two officers performed perfectly, which will make Zhai Zhijie restless."

Hearing this, Wenren Meiqiao was anxious: "I'm the one who is restless now."

After saying this, still uneasy, she asked the Dragon Group member beside her: "Is the surveillance work ready?"

"General, rest assured, everything is ready. As soon as he communicates outside, any message will be intercepted by us."

Upon hearing this, Wenren Meiqiao breathed a sigh of relief. Then she turned her head and stared at the footage from the surveillance, seeing Zhai Zhijie sitting at his desk with a solemn expression, completely still as if contemplating something.

"Contact him quickly, call, go online, send messages, anything!" Wenren Meiqiao said anxiously, her eyes blinking unceasingly.

Seeing her so anxious, Shen Qiang laughed and said, "Zhai Zhijie's level of cleverness has exceeded my expectations. According to my previous thought, he should immediately make a call to that one actually carrying out the actions as soon as the officers leave."

"But he hasn't; he's thinking, which means either he has seen through my scheme and realized the police are setting a trap for him, or he wants to sell out his accomplice, contemplating whether he can successfully detach himself."

Hearing this, Wenren Meiqiao's face tightened with tension, and she exclaimed, "Shen Qiang, didn't you say he'd definitely call his accomplice? If he realizes the police said all this just to force him to contact his accomplice, then isn't that..."

Seeing the tense Wenren Meiqiao, Shen Qiang calmly smiled and said, "It won't do him any good realizing it; he knows full well that the foreign personnel he's closely associated with are just a few people. For the police to figure out who is helping him, it's only a matter of time."

"Zhai Zhijie is a smart person; even if he knows it's a trap, he has no way to retreat because such information is his only chance to turn the tables. After all, now his accomplices could evade capture or hide; they can argue or deny it, but if this chance is missed and the police catch his unsuspecting accomplice and establish evidence, it will be indefensible."

Wenren Meiqiao nervously questioned, "Will he really contact them?"

"If it were me, I'd choose to dive right into it even knowing it's a trap," Shen Qiang raised an eyebrow. "Moreover, from my personal perspective, I am more inclined to think Zhai Zhijie is contemplating whether, if the guy gets caught, he can completely detach himself."

Wenren Meiqiao nervously fixed her eyes on Shen Qiang: "If he can, won't he just avoid contacting that person?"

Shen Qiang smiled: "Of course, burning bridges is a basic skill every criminal must learn."

Wenren Meiqiao was visibly stunned.

Just then, the Dragon Group member suddenly said, "He's calling, and the call is being intercepted."

Wenren Meiqiao was instantly exuberant, her heart racing as she watched Zhai Zhijie's somber face while dialling: "Pick it up!"

"Liam, we've been exposed. The police have already come knocking. They know it's foreign personnel poisoning others and have begun investigating, so you'd better hide first and wait for the heat to die down before handling that matter."

"The police know? Came knocking? And then they told you they know I exist?" Liam's voice, slightly angry, came through the phone interception: "You fool, you've doomed yourself!"

Stunned, Zhai Zhijie froze simultaneously.

The call ended.

"Did we locate him?" Wenren Meiqiao asked urgently.

"The communication time was too short, and we can't accurately locate him, only find the general area."

The Dragon Group member responded.

But then, without even giving Wenren Meiqiao a chance to speak, the Dragon Group member urgently exclaimed, "He's turned off his phone!"

Wenren Meiqiao frowned, exclaiming, "Turned off? Shen Qiang, what do we do?"

"Keep cool," Shen Qiang laughed and said, "Didn't Zhai Zhijie say the guy's name is Liam when he called? Is your team just idling? Check Liam, and the problem solves itself."

Instantly, Wenren Meiqiao's eyes lit up: "Do you have information on Liam?"

Beside her, the female assistant immediately said, "He was one of the five suspects yesterday; I have detailed information on him, including his workplace and residence."

"Team A, follow me immediately."

With that, Wenren Meiqiao jumped out of the car with excitement. Hesitantly, she glanced back to see Shen Qiang unmoved in the car and turned back to say: "Set off, follow me to catch him!"

And almost simultaneously, as Wenren Meiqiao led Dragon Group members to arrest Liam, Shen Qiang sat in the car watching the surveillance, clearly seeing Zhai Zhijie dialing Liam's number again and then despairingly slump into his chair.

At this moment, the door to his office opened, and a curvaceous, beautiful woman walked in. After cautiously closing the door, she urgently asked, "I heard from the company that the police came to find you?"

The despondent Zhai Zhijie nodded, then muttered as if to himself: "Liam was furious; he said I doomed myself, and then he hung up. I understand now, the police are screwing me over, setting me up. They came intentionally to test me; making this call means they already know who he is!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Qiang smiled.

Meanwhile, the beautiful woman anxiously exclaimed, "Zhai Zhijie, how could you be so useless, so stupid! How could you not see this? How did you become president? Now that this has happened, what do we do next? How are we going to get 10 billion from Shen Qiang?"

Shen Qiang instantly raised an eyebrow, and simultaneously, Zhai Zhijie panicked, viciously slapping the woman across the face before angrily shouting, "You fool, since they came to test me, it means there's surveillance in this room!"
