10 o'clock!
Old Man Yin and Old Woman Yin came to make the transaction with a video.
As soon as they entered, they saw several large boxes neatly arranged on the table in front of Ma Jun. The boxes had been opened and were filled with bright red hundred-yuan bills.
Glug!
Glug!
Old Man Yin and Old Woman Yin couldn't stop swallowing their saliva.
Twenty million in cash!
Don't be fooled by their claims of being worldly-wise; they've never seen millions in cash laid out in front of them.
And it's about to become yours...
He couldn't earn that much money even if he worked for ten lifetimes!
Swish! Swish!
Old Man Yin and Old Woman Yin came to the box to check the money inside, smelling it and asking, "Real money!"
"Here you go!" Old Man Yin handed the phone to Ma Jun without hesitation: "The videos inside are absolutely high-definition."
Ma Jun took the phone and looked at it: Sure enough, it was a high-definition video that clearly showed the faces of Li Hao and others, as well as the appearance of the old man who was beaten. The conversation was also very clear. This video was basically conclusive evidence!
now.
Old Man Yin and Old Woman Yin were already preparing to leave with their suitcases.
Snap!
Ma Jun raised his hand to press down on the box.
Old Man Yin was startled: "What are you going to do? Are you trying to double-cross me? I'm telling you, my son knows I'm here? If you don't give me the money, believe me, I... I'll have my son report you to the police right now."
Ma Jun: "Don't panic! I'm a man of my word! If I promise to give you 20 million, I will never go back on my word."
Old Man Yin breathed a sigh of relief: "Then I've given you my phone...you..."
Ma Jun: "Twenty million! You can't just give me a phone. Even if I want to use this phone to trip Qin Jiang, I still need to explain to my superiors where I got the phone! I need to prove that the source of this video is legitimate, so I need you to testify in court for me!"
What?
Appear in court!
Old Man Yin shook his head vigorously, like a rattle-drum: "No way! I won't go to court? I'll just sell you my phone and say I know nothing about it..."
Ma Jun waved his phone: "You don't know anything? Are you kidding me? You don't know where this phone came from?"
"I know what you're worried about—the Black Dragon Group's retaliation against you. But let me tell you: as long as you testify in court, I, Ma Jun, guarantee you'll be fine. Your whole family can settle in Shanghai, and I can even give you an extra apartment. Besides, testifying in court makes you a witness, so even if the Black Dragon Group wants to retaliate, they'll have to worry about public opinion..."
"Of course, if you really don't intend to appear in court, there's nothing I can do, but don't think this matter can be hidden..."
"I can't hide where this phone came from..."
Old Man Yin:...
Old people are shrewd! How could he not understand the meaning behind Ma Jun's words? Whether he testifies in court or not, he can't hide the fact that the phone he took out was used to do things to Qin Jiang! If he doesn't testify, Heilong Qin Jiang might not be in big trouble, but he will definitely retaliate against him. Can he really withstand Heilong's retaliation? On the other hand, if he testifies in court, although he will completely confront Heilong Qin Jiang, he will most likely be able to nail Qin Jiang to the ground. Moreover, Huanyu Group will say that they will use their connections to ensure that he is safe. If he testifies in court, he will be a witness, and his life or death will be related to public trust. To avoid public opinion, Heilong Group will also have to be wary.
main:
Ma Jun even bought himself a house!
An apartment in Shanghai!
That was no small price to pay in 2014!
After weighing the pros and cons, Old Man Yin said, "Alright! I'll stand in court as a witness for you. Here's the money..."
Ma Jun let go: "You can take ten million today. The remaining ten million, including an apartment in Shanghai, can be given to you after your court appearance. And you have to tell me how you got this video..."
this...
Although Old Man Yin was very dissatisfied, he was now at a disadvantage, and besides, the video was already on the other party's phone.
He could only nod and say, "Okay! I trust Chairman Ma!"
He then recounted how he had asked Yin Yue for money, but Yin Yue refused and instead asked Qin Jiang to take care of them.
Of course, in his words, he described himself as completely superior and said that Yin Yue was ungrateful.
After listening.
Ma Jun waved his hand.
Old Man Yin felt as if he had been granted a pardon and left with Old Woman Yin with a box of money.
.....
Ma Jun handed his phone to his assistant: "Make several copies of this video and save them. Also, find out who the people in the video are, and the victim who was beaten... find him..."
"Also... keep an eye on this old man and woman... don't let them out of our sight..."
Assistant: "Yes!"
.....
This investigation did not go very smoothly!
A few days later.
The assistant came to report: "Chairman Ma! We have investigated almost all the people in the video. Apart from Li Hao, the people who hit him, as well as the other people standing there, are all from the Black Dragon Group. Moreover, some of them are already middle-level leaders in the Black Dragon Group, and the lowest level is a junior leader."
Ma Jun: "Are they all from the Black Dragon Group?"
Assistant: "Yes! All of them!"
Ma Jun: "Good! Very good! Excellent!"
The existence of Li Hao alone is already very important. Now that the other people in the video have been confirmed to be members of the Black Dragon Group, and at a high level, many things will be much easier to handle.
With this evidence, it's hard for them to deny anything. Even if they can't completely destroy Qin Jiang, they can still make him suffer greatly.
Ma Jun: "What about the person who was beaten..."
The assistant's face was bitter: "We haven't been able to find out who this person is. We haven't been able to find him, or even any information about him at all; it's as if he never existed..."
What?
Ma Jun was stunned:
Can't find it?
How could it not be found!
Could it be...?
The assistant said, "This person is almost certainly gone. Moreover, Qin Jiang is incredibly powerful in Songjiang; he's rumored to have immense influence over law enforcement. It's very likely he's completely erased this person's information. If you ask me... sometimes it's easier to do something if you can't find the person..."
Ma Jun nodded in agreement.
If you find the person, they need to come forward and report you. But if you can't find the person, there's actually more room for maneuver.
The person is dead!
They can use the excuse of collecting debts for the dead!
Ma Jun: "Okay!"
Assistant: "What's our next step? Should I arrange for a lawyer to prepare..."
Ma Jun waved his hand: "No! Haste makes waste. In Songjiang and Qinjiang, they have absolute power. No matter where we report the case, it will be difficult to get them out of Songjiang. At that time, the card we have may not be able to play. This card must be left in the area where they leave Songjiang and Beidi before we can use it!"
"Bring him directly to Shanghai! Investigate the case there!"
"A single, decisive blow!"
"To ensure he has absolutely no chance of turning things around!"
"As for this period: first, go into hiding! Going into hiding is for a more powerful counterattack; the Songjiang operation will be put on hold for a while..."
