The next day, after Jiang Yao finished her exams, the first thing she did when she left the exam room was ask the invigilator for her cell phone. She was not in a hurry to call anyone, but instead, she turned on the radio on her cell phone to listen to the broadcast.
She tuned the broadcast to the Jindo City radio station, and Jiang Yao soon heard what she wanted to hear.
The news reported two thieves had burglarized a house the previous night. The neighbor noticed something was wrong and called the police. When the police arrived, the thief had already left. However, they still found a shocking discovery at the house.
The police found cash hidden all over the house—under the bed, in a wardrobe, and behind a bookcase. The bed also had a missing corner, which might have contained cash. They guessed that the thieves had stolen it.
In addition, the police also found a lot of expensive luxury goods such as alcohol, cigarettes, antiques, calligraphy, and paintings in the basement of the house.
That discovery shocked everyone in Jindo City!
Everyone guessed that must be where an official hid and accepted bribes. So, with so much cash, they did not dare deposit it so openly in the bank, and they did not dare place such valuable things at their home, so they hid it in such a place.
Sometimes, people did things that other people would not understand.
No one in that circle was as innocent as they looked, and they would have their own way of dealing with things.
Very few people like Qian Zhibin would use a single house to store all those things in one place.
The radio announcers said that the police would look at their latest discovery very closely. They would also investigate the house owner and the origin of the things in it.
The police would make a statement if the cash were from legitimate means.
If the house owner were a businessman who could have earned that money, there was no need for the police to investigate the matter. Perhaps he preferred to keep his money at home.
The radio announcer continued to propose the idea of putting the money in the bank instead of at home, but Jiang Yao was no longer interested in his spiel.
When Jiang Yao put her phone back into her pocket, she had a wicked smile on her face. Qian Zhibin must have been scared out of his wits at that time. Any innocent officials must have hated the house owner with all their might.
After that, Jiang Yao was still busy with her exams. She could not pay attention to the news in Jindo City. She only heard bits and pieces of information from Chen Xuyao and Zhou Weiqi.
However, the Qian family was still the Qian family, after all. It was not a small family like the Du family that people could suppress so easily. Qian Zhibin had struggled for a long time, but he could avoid being implicated with that house. So, he had to give up all his assets in that house.
The police in Jindo City found documents from Changkang Pharma’s lab in that house. So, they sent their men to Nanjiang City to follow up on that. When they learned about the stolen properties, they reported them to the local police.. All the missing documents were found in that house, and not a single paper was missing.
