After the divorce, I became a rich girl - Chapter 620 Cooperating with the Investigation

As soon as the voice in the recorder said two sentences, Li Yan's pupils suddenly contracted, and the originally playful and tentative expression instantly froze into ice.

As the recorder continued to play, Li Yan's face became increasingly gloomy, and the veins on his forehead throbbed slightly.

After playing for more than a minute, the recording suddenly stopped. Li Xuanbao raised a meaningful smile and said, "Brother, if I hand this recording over to the investigation agency, will it be considered as a 'letter of surrender' to make meritorious contributions while atonement for my crime?"

Li Yan clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white, and suppressed the anger in his heart, but his voice was trembling: "Where did you get this thing?"

I consulted a lawyer, and he said that your case is "particularly serious," meaning a sentence of more than five years but less than ten years.

Maybe I'll have to visit him in prison after I leave." She tapped the tabletop with her fingertips, and the sound of wood colliding was particularly harsh in the empty room. "Brother, do you want to reconsider it?"

Li Yan's face was as dark as ink. The recording evidence in Li Xuanbao's hand was from five years ago. At that time, he had just taken over Li's for a short time. He was eager for quick success and instant benefits, and his investment failed. In order to recover the losses, he took a radical approach and conspired with some people to manipulate the securities market, and made a quick fortune by unfair means.

At the time, all those involved swore to keep the matter a secret. After all these years, he had almost forgotten about it, but he didn't expect that when they were planning things together, they were secretly recorded by someone.

Li Xuanbao crossed her legs elegantly, stroking the recorder with her fingertips, with a smile that did not reach her eyes: "Brother, you are too serious. I am not that serious. I just found out about this recording by chance, and I was trying to protect you at that time.

Besides, I paid a lot of money to get this recording."

At this point, Li Xuanbao suddenly stopped smiling and said, "If I hadn't kept this recording secret, it would have been made public and you would have been imprisoned.

And to be honest, when I bought it, I never had the intention of blackmailing you, otherwise why would I wait so many years to give it to you?"

You were able to conceal your life story perfectly when you were a teenager, and fooled everyone around. You have been lying for so many years, and acting for so many years. You can't have fooled yourself and really thought you were a little white flower!"

Li Yan was silent for a moment, then suddenly grabbed the document, flipped it open, drew sharp lines on the paper with the tip of his pen, and quickly signed his name.

Then, he slammed the file shut and pushed it in front of Li Xuanbao, his voice tinged with sarcasm: "With such deadly evidence in your hands, you never thought of letting me take the blame for you? Should I thank you?"

Li Xuanbao shook her head slightly and said with a smile: "How do you know I haven't thought about this?

She paused, her eyes turned sarcastic, "Besides, I have consulted a professional lawyer. The company's tax evasion is not a big deal as long as the taxes and fines are paid in time.

Even though the problem was unqualified building materials, fortunately no casualties were caused and the nature of the accident was not too serious.

The most troublesome thing is that I secretly resold the building materials to Universal Construction. However, as long as I actively cooperate with the investigation and take the initiative to explain the problem, I will be released after serving two or three years in prison at most. "

Li Yan stared at Li Xuanbao's calm face, but felt that it was a poisonous snake ready to bite at any time: "Tax evasion, counterfeiting of building materials, each of these things can ruin your reputation, and now you seem to be talking about other people's business." He leaned back on the leather seat, looking at Li Xuanbao with complicated eyes.

She looked down at him with a hint of coldness in the corners of her eyes: "I have known since I was a child that the only person I can rely on in this world is myself."

Her eyes swept across the gold-plated CEO nameplate on the desk, and she suddenly sneered, her voice as if it was icy: "Do you think if I were a boy, would you still be the one sitting in this office right now?"

After saying this, Li Xuanbao looked at Li Yan deeply, then pushed the president's badge in front of him and turned away.

Li Yan looked at her departing back and found that cold sweat had seeped out of his back without him noticing, soaking his expensive suit.

By the time Li Yan's problem was investigated, the New Year's excitement had long since dissipated, leaving only scattered unburned firecrackers on the streets, swirling in the cold wind.

Zhong Xinlan saw the thin figure from afar, and her eyes were instantly filled with tears.

She rushed forward and stroked Li Yan's stubbled chin with trembling fingers: "How come he is so thin..." Then her fingertips touched the bones under his suit, and a sob got stuck in her throat.

Li Yan's throat rolled and he hugged the person into his arms. The familiar smell of perfume made him feel at ease. He couldn't help but take a deep breath, and his hoarse voice muffled the other person's head: "It's my fault. I made you worry."

Li Yan patted Zhong Xinlan's back gently, with a hint of warmth on his lips: "Let's go home."

The black sedan slowly drove into the Li family villa. Before the carved iron gate was fully opened, Jing Qiu rushed out in slippers.

When the car stopped, Li Yan got out. She stepped forward and pulled Li Yan into her arms, groping his back with her fingers, her voice trembling: "You're finally back. These days, your dad and I have to get up in the middle of the night to check our phones, hoping to hear from you..."

Li Yan hugged his mother's thin shoulders with his backhand, and his coat brushed against her newly white hair. "I'm just going to take a statement and cooperate with the investigation. It's nothing."
