Although he was covered in cuts and bruises, Si Xu felt an indescribable sense of accomplishment and joy. He had waited for this day for so long. Of course, Si Xu also understood that it was all thanks to me. Otherwise, with his abilities, he would have never been able to take revenge.
Just like that, Si Xu got the beauty back and became the Master of the Tang Sect once again. I also had a sister-in-law.
As the saying goes, 'Lovers always get married'. Seeing their happy life, I was happy. After I returned to Kuncheng, I also lived a life that I envied, but I didn't envy immortals.
However, these peaceful days didn't last long. I received a call from Minister Wu.
Recently, he had sent people to monitor Old Pei and his family. He found a large amount of abnormal capital flows, especially from a small number of distant relatives. They didn't have any contact with each other on the surface.
As everyone knew, in Hua Xia, it was important to promote the talented and avoid the relatives. Relatives of important politicians weren't allowed to do business. Of course, there were many policies and countermeasures, especially for the influential big shots. They could use all kinds of loopholes to achieve their goal of covering the sky with one hand.
As for the abnormal capital flows, Minister Wu told me clearly that the company wasn't in the foreign trade business, but there was a large amount of capital flows related to it. According to the preliminary statistics, in just one week, more than two billion renminbi had flowed out of the country. Although the method was very covert, it couldn't escape the inspection and supervision of the related departments. After all, it was the era of big data, and it wasn't easy to leave no trace.
Because of this abnormal capital flow, there was a suspicion that the company was transferring its assets. What was more frightening was that more than eighty percent of the capital had flowed into big companies in Japan. What was it? Songxia? It was scary to think about it. He was still considering if he should report this to the No.1 Chief. However, this was a serious matter, and he didn't dare to act impulsively before he had conclusive evidence.
I was scared. Although this amount of money wasn't a big deal to me, at Old Pei's level, if he had the guts to do such a thing, it could be his last resort.
Although Minister Wu's people were professional, they couldn't avoid being detected. It seemed that the other party had realized the severity of the situation and wanted to transfer their assets to get out of it.
Coupled with the international situation adding fuel to the fire, it was even more obvious that there was a problem.
He called me to ask for my opinion, which put me in a difficult position. I had to admit that Minister Wu valued me a lot. However, I wasn't at that level, so I couldn't give him any good advice. I could only ask him to continue monitoring me.
However, it wasn't over yet. He called me and said a few words to me. Then, he hung up.
Not long after, he called again. "Xiao Zhuang, I just received news that some people from the Pei family have appeared on camera!
I'll bring some men to the Pei Residence now. I'll inform you if anything happens. "
It wasn't hard to hear the urgency and panic in his voice. Without a doubt, the Pei Family's actions practically proved that they were fleeing in fear of punishment. If they were one step late, it was very likely that they would be completely gone.
I was stunned. The Pei family moved too quickly. Could it be that they had spies at Department Head Wu's place?!
That was the only explanation that could explain why the Pei family had moved so quickly.
Just like that, Department Head Wu immediately rushed to the Pei residence with his men. However, it was too late. Most of the important people had already escaped. Old Mr. Pei even found a substitute for them. A few days ago, Old Mr. Pei had claimed that he was not feeling well and stayed at home to recuperate. He was nearing the age of retirement, so no one paid much attention to him. Who would have thought that a leopard cat would replace the crown prince?
At this time, Department Head Wu couldn't hide the truth anymore. He directly informed the No. 1 Chief. Although he had noticed some clues, the Chief was still shocked and angry when it actually happened.
All the evidence pointed to one problem. This matter had been planned for a long time, and the people who had been keeping a close eye on it were the mainstays of the government. No one had expected that a parasite would appear at the top.
The money wasn't a big deal. The most important thing was that the nature of the matter was extremely vile. Moreover, Hua Xia was suffering in silence.
Although they had completely blocked the news, it was inevitable that it would leak out. After all, it was a big matter, and no one was blind. The news spread like wildfire in the circle of the rich and powerful in Beijing, causing panic and heated discussions.
Although they tried their best to investigate, the people involved had already escaped, so many things were hindered. The Chief asked the staff of the embassy in Japan. From the information they received, most of the Pei family had gone to Japan.
However, when he contacted the higher-ups of Japan, they refused to admit it. They even said that they couldn't take in such people, and that they would send them back to their country immediately if they were found.
The higher-ups of Hua Xia were furious at this shameless act. After an urgent discussion, they decided to send people to capture the Pei family. Only then could they defend their dignity.
This was definitely a challenging task. If they didn't succeed, it was very likely that they wouldn't be able to return. After all, Nihon was famous for being shameless. Not long ago, because of the incident with Yamamoto Ryuji, a large number of warriors went to Nihon to make trouble. Therefore, a large number of Hua Xia tourists were refused entry.
The Nihon Samurai also said that as long as they found any suspicious Huaxia warriors, they would rather kill a thousand than let a single one go. Under such a premise, it was as difficult as ascending to heaven to catch someone.
To put it bluntly, the Pei family only had the courage to escape because of the protection of Nihon. Now, they were just enjoying the shade under a big tree.
