Special Forces Medic-Chapter 843 - 816: Testimony (Part 1)

Hehe! Hearing Wu Mian’s angry shout, Yan Juanjuan’s eyes twitched, and her slightly parted lips opened. "A hundred million to buy that piece of land."

"A hundred million?" The three words slipped from Hua Muyun’s mouth, as he looked thoughtfully at Yan Juanjuan.

"Yes, at the time there was no land planning department, just an independent planning office. Hengfei was looking for suitable land to build Hengfei Mansion, and Shen Gong suddenly approached me saying there was a piece of land quite suitable for my needs, though it was originally intended for renovating a medical facility.

But the funds were not in place, so they hoped our Hengfei Group would take over, with a starting price of 30 million. The leader of the Xia Family at the time and the heir of the Wang Family were also involved, but for some unknown reason, the Wang Family withdrew in the end, leaving just Xia Yusheng and myself, and we forced the price from 30 million to a hundred million.

To be honest, I wanted to pull out then. Businesspeople aim for profit investment, and this land wasn’t worth the money. Spending a hundred million to buy land for an office building was a loss. But District Chief Yao told me as long as the building was erected, it could be sold, which was the guarantee he gave me."

"Funds not in place? Director Wu, was the land originally owned by Hengfei Group a shanty area?"

"Secretary Hua, before coming here, I’ve already contacted all relevant personnel to confirm. When renovating that area, arrangements were made for the original residents, and the city committee allocated funds locally, so there was no issue with funds not being in place. Moreover, the documents issued by the finance department have records to verify."

"I will investigate this matter thoroughly." Yao Zheng hurriedly expressed his stance. "Yan Juanjuan, someone reported that there were many casualties during the establishment of Hengfei Group, and during the land purchase, bribery amounted to 10 million, is there any truth to this?"

"Construction deaths basically happen in any building history; isn’t it said only by shedding blood can a building be stabilized? I don’t admit to bribing local officials with 10 million, but I do admit to transferring 10 million as activity funds to District Chief Yao’s account."

"Yan Juanjuan, don’t slander me, when have I ever taken your money?" Yao Zheng urgently stood up from his chair, pointing at Yan Juanjuan, wishing to devour her to relieve his anger. "Yan Juanjuan, cooperate properly to receive lenient treatment. Think of your son far outside, how would he cope if he lost his mother?"

"Secretary Hua, does this count as blatant threat? Since I’m in here, I have no plans to get out. I’m supposed to be honest for you, and now what I’ve said you don’t believe, how am I supposed to act?"

"Continue!"

"Why did Shen Gong die? Did you want to kill to silence him?"

"Human desire is greedy, especially when one has leverage over others, it evolves into extortion, threatening one’s position, which cultivates a murderous impulse."

"So you killed him?"

"District Chief Yao, why would I kill someone irrelevant to me? I just bought the land from him and obtained the bid before competing with the Xia Family." Yan Juanjuan gazed directly at Yao Zheng for the first time, playing with her lips. "Isn’t the person who killed him your subordinate, Director Ji? As for the reason, you’d have to ask him yourself."

"Yan Juanjuan, you need evidence to say such things, how do you know Director Ji did it?" 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

"The body was thrown into the deep ditch in Beigong, I saw it with my own eyes."

"Let’s talk about the Beigong tax evasion case, and the reported tax rates of Hengfei’s annual import-export business!"

"Tax evasion? Haha!" Yan Juanjuan suddenly burst into laughter. "Yao Zheng, did this issue ever occur?"

"Yan Juanjuan, I’m asking you!" Wu Mian’s voice deepened, although this scene was quite interesting now, being the chief judge, Yao Zheng appearing constantly questioned by the suspect seemed to undermine his own prestige.

"I want to clarify something, Beigong isn’t my private property, the land’s buyer wasn’t me, I’m just an investor, a nominal figure. Regarding claims of Hengfei Group’s tax evasion, I can tell you one hundred percent, that’s impossible. All financial reports follow national standards, and all taxes are paid to the tax bureau completely, these records can be verified. I don’t know where this evidence came from, and I hope District Chief Yao can clarify."

"Yao Zheng, since President Yan is so certain, show President Yan the evidence you hold. Our city committee won’t falsely accuse any lawful citizen."

"Of course there is!" Yao Zheng handed over the data reports to Wu Mian and Hua Muyun. "These are all the tax reports and financial report copies submitted by Hengfei Group over the past two years, along with the tax status of Beigong."

Hua Muyun flipped through a few pages, and from the overall data above, there wasn’t anything suspicious, but purely from the values, some discrepancies could be found. "President Yan, take a look at this report yourself."

Wu Mian handed the report to Yan Juanjuan, and there were only four people in the room, no extra soldiers inside but standing outside the door. Xiao Lin and Hua Qingyi had rushed back to Lijian half an hour ago but hadn’t entered this temporarily arranged interrogation room all along. Instead, he sat in another room, watching the scenes inside through a monitor.

"District Chief Yao, are you sure this is our Hengfei Group’s submitted financial report?" Yan Juanjuan glanced at it before tossing the papers aside. "Secretary Hua, you can now send someone to Hengfei Group’s finance room to investigate the annual submitted financial reports, which will naturally clarify the situation."

"Director Wu, get someone to take a look."

"Yes! Secretary Hua." Wu Mian had already gone out, Yao Zheng quietly sat in his place, unusually leaning against the seatback, withholding any opinions on Yan Juanjuan’s rebuttal. It wasn’t long before Wu Mian returned to the interrogation room, whispering a few sentences to Yao Zheng before returning to his original spot.

"Regarding Hengfei’s financial status, let’s pause here. President Yan, you said Beigong isn’t your property, but based on your named asset amount, you bought the area three years ago from the original owner." Wu Mian looked at another report and inquired.

"The actual manager of Beigong is my sister Yan Fengying, and I do have investments in this hotel as one of the major shareholders, but have not participated in actual operation management."

"Three bodies were dug from the deep ditch of Beigong, President Yan should have heard about it, right!"

"Yes!"

"Can you explain what happened?" (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to vote for recommendation tickets and monthly tickets on Qidian (qidian.com), your support is my biggest motivation.)
