Fake Husband of the Glamorous CEO-Chapter 117: Most Afraid of Comparison

Jiangcheng.

Police station.

Criminal Investigation Department.

A tall, slender plainclothes policewoman with long, straight black hair arrived at the investigation team’s office, "Team leader, we have received many reports lately about Tianfeng Company allegedly manipulating stock prices through insider trading. Why are we indifferent about it?"

Inside the office, the head of the criminal investigation team, wearing a uniform, sipped tea and asked, "Are they anonymous reports?"

The policewoman hesitated for a moment, "Yes, but there’s no smoke without fire. Since there are reports, shouldn’t we follow procedures and check?"

The team leader blew on the steaming tea and said without looking up, "Then go and get approval from the superiors."

"That’s why I’m here asking for your guidance." The policewoman forced a smile. "If I could contact the superiors directly, what do I need you for?"

"So I’m just here to take the fall for you all, am I?" The team leader sighed, put down his teacup, and hummed lightly, "Actually, I’ve also been paying attention to this company. But the higher-ups indicated that we should wait for evidence before making statements."

The policewoman frowned, "How can we find evidence if we don’t investigate? I mean, the stable returns this company provides its clients must have some hidden tricks. Shouldn’t we start by making some discreet contact with people from this company for a covert investigation?"

The team leader nodded, "Don’t let the reports make you biased against this company from the start. Be aware that these complaints could also be competitor initiated tactics."

The policewoman nodded, "I understand."

The team leader glared at her, "I fear you don’t understand well enough! Remember what I’m saying, this company is currently highly regarded by the authorities. If you insist on investigating, you must act alone in your inquiries, and neither I nor our superiors will be able to provide much substantial support."

"If people from the company discover your investigation, and if they escalate it to the upper levels, I won’t be here to cover for you."

The policewoman suddenly became very cautious, "Since when did we start tiptoeing around an investigation into a private fund company?"

"If you knew how much tax this company pays each month, you would understand why." The team leader hummed softly, "Just last month, this company paid a few billion in taxes, and this month’s tax might even double. I can only say, this company could become a major taxpayer. You weigh that yourself."

The policewoman swallowed hard.

Elsewhere. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Inside a billiard club, the son of the Second Head of the City, Wei Changqing, was playing pool.

Within the team, a rich second generation man said, "We’ve made a lot of anonymous reports against Tianfeng Company, but it seems to have been quiet."

Wei Changqing paused, cleaning his cue with chalk, and said, "Without direct and effective evidence, the police station won’t open a case for investigation. Moreover, I’ve heard from my father that Tianfeng Company pays a lot of taxes, and the higher-ups are unanimously optimistic about its future prospects."

Hearing this, the others following Wei Changqing became envious and jealous.

Ever since their separation from Liu Jin and his gang, their business dealings had decreased.

This led to Liu Jin and Guo Yunfan’s group making a lot of money in Tianfeng Company and not sharing any information or resources with Wei Changqing’s people.

Though they did not know exactly how much the other group had made in Tianfeng Company, recent rumors within their circles had grown so significant that even their parents’ generation of tycoons had begun gravitating towards Tianfeng Company.

Moreover, those who were hanging out with Liu Jin and Guo Yunfan had consecutively upgraded to top-tier sports cars.

Easily fetching twenty or thirty million for limited edition supercars, while Guo Yunfan, Tang Jun, Liu Jin, and a few others had even acquired supercars worth hundreds of millions!

When both groups lined up their cars at the club’s racetrack, the disparity was immediately obvious.

In addition, in Jiangcheng’s nightlife and other places, there was a marked difference in their spending levels.

Some nightsummit surveys had calculated that Guo Yunfan’s group had a higher average monthly spending capacity and were more generous with models and internet celebrity girls.

The famous girls at Shili Foreign Field preferred to participate in the gatherings hosted by Guo Yunfan and his group.

Not only that, now many of their parents were also asking them about Tianfeng Company, and quite a few rich second generations were being scolded by their families for following the wrong leader.

This person was, at that time, referring to Wei Changqing!

Wei Changqing definitely heard those private whispers.

Claiming he wasn’t as good as Liu Jin, Guo Yunfan, and others, he felt a lot of pressure. His lackeys, though flattering to his face, were bootlicking the other group behind his back.

When it came down to real benefits, these people simply couldn’t stand firm!

"Who among you knows this Feng from Tianfeng Company?" Wei Changqing suddenly looked at those present.

That’s when Zhao Xinming, who had defected from Liu Jin’s circle to side with Wei Changqing because of not giving Lin Yu face, spoke, "Mr. Wei, I’ve met this Feng."

The others immediately perked up, wondering if Mr. Wei was planning to meet this behind-the-scenes boss of Tianfeng.

If they could get a share like Guo Yunfan and others did, they would also benefit.

Wei Changqing looked at Zhao Xinming and said, "Come with me to Tianfeng Company to meet this Feng."
