Chapter 170: You Want Special Privileges? The Silver Handcuffs Will Teach You How to Be a Man!
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The CEO of Wei Enterprise was none other than Wei Chongguan’s son, Wei Chaoguo. Su Xuan and Zhou Qiang, both dressed in police uniforms, approached the receptionist. Although the receptionist opened his mouth as if to stop them, he thought better of it and didn’t interfere. He watched them enter the elevator and quickly notified the executive office about their presence. He couldn’t help but wonder what was going on.
When Su Xuan and Zhou Qiang arrived on the upper floor, they were met by the composed executive secretary, Zhang Wei, who had already been informed of their arrival.
“Officers, what can I help you with?” Zhang Wei inquired calmly. It seemed they had anticipated that their visit would be known to the upper management.
Without beating around the bush, Zhou Qiang spoke up. “We’re here to see your CEO, Wei Chaoguo. There’s a case we need his cooperation to investigate.”
Su Xuan shot him a glance. What did he mean by “cooperation to investigate”? In essence, they were here to deliver the news.
In fact, even the usually composed secretary was left a bit bewildered by this unexpected visit. The police suddenly wanted to meet with their CEO and claimed to need his cooperation for an investigation. The secretary couldn’t help but wonder if their CEO had committed tax evasion or something similar, but it seemed unlikely. If it were related to tax matters, it should have been handled by the tax authorities, not the police.
“Wait a moment,” the secretary, despite his muddled mind, was still an excellent secretary. He immediately spoke up, “I’ll make a phone call first. After all, the CEO’s status is special.”
Su Xuan and Zhou Qiang didn’t mind. They were already at the CEO’s office, right in front of it. Even if someone wanted to escape, it was impossible to jump from here. They would have to get past them in the end. There was no way to escape.
As expected, the phone call quickly got approval. Wei Chaoguo was sitting in his CEO’s office chair when they entered. He stood up when he saw them and asked, “Officers, I wonder what you want me to cooperate with in your investigation?”
He appeared unconcerned, and Su Xuan and Zhou Qiang exchanged glances. It seemed Wei Chaoguo was overly confident in his hidden agenda. He didn’t appear to think they were here to arrest him.
“We suspect you’re involved in hiring a hitman for murder. Please come with us for questioning,” Su Xuan said, getting straight to the point.
Wei Chaoguo’s calm demeanor didn’t change. He seemed to have no doubts about his own ability to hide his actions. Did he even consider the possibility that they were here to apprehend him?
Wei Chaoguo asked, “What? Officers, you’re not investigating the wrong person, are you? Our CEO couldn’t possibly be involved in such a thing.”
The secretary, who had been shocked by the presence of the two police officers, immediately chimed in, “What? Officers, are you sure you’ve got the right person? Our CEO wouldn’t be involved in something like that.” freewebnove(l).com
His words shattered the serious atmosphere in the office. Wei Chaoguo frowned and approached them, displaying a hint of confusion on his face. “Officers, are you sure you’re not mistaken?” he asked. “Me, hiring a hitman for murder? Are you joking? Do I look like someone who needs to do that?”
After saying this, Wei Chaoguo waved his hand dismissively and added, “I’m sorry, but I can’t cooperate with this investigation. There’s no way I can assist with this matter.” His attitude was quite cold.
After all, when someone hears that they are being treated as a suspect, they’re not going to be pleased. The secretary even reached out his hand towards them, saying, “I’m sorry, officers. Our CEO has made it clear. Please leave now. You must have misunderstood. Our CEO wouldn’t do something like this.”
Su Xuan and Zhou Qiang exchanged a glance. They had expected this outcome when they came here, which was why they had brought an arrest warrant. Of course, if the CEO had cooperated, they wouldn’t have needed to use it. But now that he was refusing to cooperate, they had no choice.
When they saw the arrest warrant, Wei Chaoguo’s calm demeanor shifted. His gaze locked onto them. Su Xuan met his stare without flinching, calmly saying, “Mr. Wei, please come with us.”
Upon hearing this, anger flashed across Wei Chaoguo’s face. He couldn’t sense the mockery hidden in Su Xuan’s use of “Mr. Wei.” How could he endure this?
However, seeing Su Xuan pulling out handcuffs, Wei Chaoguo took a deep breath and said, “I’ll go with you, but there’s no need for handcuffs. After all, I am the CEO of Wei Enterprise. If you handcuff me and it causes our stock prices to plummet, resulting in financial losses for our company, will you compensate us?”
After saying this, Zhou Qiang, who had been cold and stern, visibly tensed up. He instinctively glanced at Su Xuan.
They were just small police officers, how could they possibly compensate for the losses of such a big company? Seeing this scene, Wei Chaoguo sneered at the corner of his mouth. He knew it well. These police officers earned only a few salaries a year, and trying to make up for even an hour of their company’s losses would be impossible. Let alone the entire loss! He had a premonition that his demand would surely succeed—
“The losses of Wei Enterprise have nothing to do with us,” came a cold voice.
Wei Chaoguo’s mocking smile froze on his face. He instinctively looked up and saw Su Xuan approaching with handcuffs in hand. He spoke with a cold tone, “If Wei Enterprise’s stock drops due to this, it’s your problem, Mr. Wei. If you haven’t committed any crimes, we wouldn’t have come to arrest you. Blaming us for this loss is unreasonable. Come on, Mr. Wei, please cooperate with the police investigation. If you’re innocent, resolving this matter after your release will be straightforward.”
As Su Xuan spoke, he had already grabbed Wei Chaoguo’s wrist. With two crisp clicks, a pair of unfamiliar silver handcuffs adorned Wei Chaoguo’s wrists. Immediately, his face contorted in disbelief as he looked at Su Xuan. He couldn’t believe he had actually been handcuffed!
“You, you…” Wei Chaoguo stammered. “How could you do this to me!?”
Wei Chaoguo was used to having his way in the business world. Even when dealing with government officials, he never backed down. After all, in this world, having wealth and power came with certain privileges. Moreover, Wei Enterprise often provided sponsorships to government agencies, which gave them some influence. Even his father frequently said that without him, Wei Enterprise wouldn’t have had such a smooth path.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Wei,” Su Xuan said calmly. “It’s just part of our duty. We’ll need you to accompany us.” He paid no attention to Wei Chaoguo’s shocked expression and nodded at the bewildered secretary. Then, he turned to Zhou Qiang and said, “Let’s go, Zhou..”
