"Without ten years or eight years, you won't be able to get out. Tang Nannan, go in and have a good reunion with your third brother He."
"As for that Hu Jiasheng, when disaster strikes, everyone flees. Without you, there are other Zhang Nannans, Li Nannans, and Wang Nannans. See how long he can still remember you."
After speaking, the police officers were led upstairs by the front desk receptionist in the lobby on the first floor.
Someone called for General Manager Ma. General Manager Ma explained the general situation, and Tang Nannan was taken away.
Hu Jiasheng had just returned to his office after a meeting when his phone rang.
He picked it up and saw that it was a strange call from Nancheng to the police station.
He thought it was some kind of telecommunications fraud using a fake number and hung up.
Unexpectedly, the other party called back soon.
With a sense of doubt, he answered and then learned that Tang Nannan was in trouble.
After some commotion, Hu Jiasheng took the lawyer to see Tang Nannan.
After only being there for a little over two hours, her face was pale, and her spirit was dejected, as if she had suffered great hardships, which made Hu Jiasheng's heart ache.
"What happened?"
Tang Nannan told him the whole story from beginning to end.
After she finished, the lawyer pushed up his glasses and said seriously,
"Are you sure that every word and every character you've said is true? Miss Tang, I'm here to solve your problems, not to create them for me. I don't want to find anything inconsistent with your testimony during my follow-up visits."
Tang Nannan swore to heaven that every word she spoke was true.
She said, "My phone was confiscated. If you don't believe me, you can check my phone. Four days ago, around ten in the morning, I video-called General Manager Ma and talked for about forty minutes. The chat history is still there."
"This is where the problem lies."
The lawyer said, "You were on a video call, not a text chat. No one knows what you said then, so it won't be of any use."
"The key is that there is now something very unfavorable to you."
"What is it?"
"I asked my assistant to investigate your accounts. I found that in a psychiatric hospital in Sucheng..."
Tang Nannan interrupted him, "My brother? What happened to him?"
"Half a month ago, someone opened an account in the name of Tang Dong and received a transfer of 1 million yuan four days ago."
"Your brother has been hospitalized for a long time and has mental health problems, lacking civil capacity. You have no parents, so this money could very likely be deemed to have been transferred by you."
Well, General Manager Ma really went to great lengths to harm her.
Not only did she ruin a deal worth tens of millions in business, but she also transferred 1 million yuan to her privately.
She had been plotting for half a month in advance, truly sparing no expense.
In fact, it wasn't necessary to go to such lengths.
If she had known Tang Nannan well enough, knowing how much she was in need of money, she could have directly thrown fifty million yuan at her.
Let alone asking her to leave the company and Nancheng, making her kneel and kowtow to General Manager Ma would have been possible.
"So now I can't explain myself, can I? How will I be sentenced?"
The lawyer said, "Your situation is quite serious. Embezzlement of public funds, bribery, and selling company secrets. If all these charges are confirmed..."
Tang Nannan could imagine that her remaining life would be hopeless.
"However, this is not the worst situation yet, don't worry."
After speaking, the lawyer also advised her, "Isn't there still the lead from the financial manager? If she can come forward to testify about the situation at the time, then this charge will not stand."
At this point, Tang Nannan had no hope left.
Since General Manager Ma had gone to such great lengths to frame her, she couldn't possibly have overlooked such an obvious loophole.
The financial manager would certainly not come forward to testify for her.
As expected.
Hu Jiasheng personally went to General Manager Ma's company and waited for over an hour before meeting her.
When they met, General Manager Ma was smiling more happily than at their last meeting.
"What wind blew Mr. Hu here today? I was busy just now and couldn't attend to you. I apologize for keeping you waiting."
Hu Jiasheng didn't beat around the bush with her, knowing she was deliberately stalling him. He said directly,
"What did Tang Nannan do to offend you that you went to such great lengths to scheme against her?"
General Manager Ma played dumb, "What are you talking about, Mr. Hu? I don't understand. What do you mean by me scheming against Tang Nannan? You seem to have misunderstood the situation."
"For the sake of you and Mrs. Gao, I treated her well, spent a lot of money on her, and yet she privately..."
Hu Jiasheng interrupted her, "Don't pretend with me. You know what happened, and so do I."
"I came here to ask you one thing: what will it take for you to let this matter rest?"
He lacked the imposing demeanor he had last time, which was satisfying to see, but General Manager Ma did not dare to get carried away.
She continued to play dumb, "If Mr. Hu is here to discuss business, what kind of tea would you like? I'll brew it for you, and we can sit down and talk slowly."
"But if you're here to cause trouble for no reason, I'm afraid I cannot accompany you."
Hu Jiasheng stared at her coldly, "So, you mean you can't make the decision, and all of this was done under someone's instruction, right?"
These mother and son are truly interesting.
Why can't they say what they need to say face to face? Why do they have to make me a mediator, caught in the middle, and listen to their sarcastic remarks?
"Mr. Hu, I really don't understand what you're saying. If you have nothing else, I'll go back to work. I'm sorry, please help yourself."
Hu Jiasheng left General Manager Ma's company and called Zhan Beijue, asking for Mrs. Gao's address, or if he knew her home phone number.
Zhan Beijue asked him what happened.
"Tang Nannan is being targeted by her. I want to have a talk with her. Please send it to me."
Zhan Beijue sent him the phone number and home address. Hu Jiasheng called while driving.
As a result, whether it was Mrs. Gao intentionally blocking his number to avoid suspicion, or all external phones being blocked, the call couldn't get through.
He had no choice but to drive to her house.
However, that kind of unit was not a place one could easily enter. It was heavily guarded, so he could only wait outside.
If Mrs. Gao came out today, he would be able to see her. If she couldn't come out, he didn't know how long he would have to wait.
Hu Jiasheng had a premonition that she would definitely come out, so he leaned against the front of his car and quietly stared in the direction of the gate.
After running around all afternoon, it was already past five o'clock.
This street was quiet amidst the bustle, with excellent greenery.
The trees were dense, all plane trees.
He stood like a frozen painting, waiting from five to six, then six to seven, until eight or nine o'clock in the evening, when Mrs. Gao slowly came out with a small white Pekingese dog in her hand.
Mrs. Gao saw him from a distance and seemed to know he was waiting for her. As their eyes met,
She bent down, picked up the dog, turned around, and went back inside.
