From abandoned baby to CEO

The investigators then took the two individuals to the local police station for interrogation.

Interestingly, Zhang Jianguo's wife insisted that the man she shared a bed with was an online friend she had only known for a few days.

When questioned, the man immediately admitted that he was a male model from Jinan City, and that he and Zhang Jianguo had been dating for several years, making him a kept man by Zhang Jianguo's wife.

He even openly admitted that Zhang Jianguo's wife was very wealthy, spending hundreds of thousands of yuan on him every year, and over the years, she had spent at least several million yuan on him.

A week ago, Zhang Jianguo's wife invited him to travel to the south, hoping it would help him relax and unwind.

Zhang Jianguo's wife is in her fifties, but she is very well-maintained and looks like she is only in her early forties. She is quite charming in both figure and appearance.

The interrogation was not going well.

Just like Zhang Jianguo, Zhang Jianguo's wife was arrogant, and her first words were to hire a lawyer to protect her rights.

When asked about her staggering spending over the past seven or eight years, she nonchalantly brushed it off, saying, "Although I don't have a job, all that money came from my stock trading."

"Where did the initial capital for stock trading come from?" the investigators demanded sternly.

"I borrowed it from relatives, friends, and my best friend!"

When the investigators tried to ask her more detailed questions, she stammered and couldn't give a clear answer.

"Your husband has been detained by the police on suspicion of embezzlement and bribery. You'd better tell the truth!"

She sneered, "I don't know if he's embezzled or taken bribes. Our marriage has long been a sham. I've never interfered in his affairs. Over the years, I've supported myself and never spent a penny of his money..."

The police officers handling the case wouldn't believe her nonsense.

Various signs indicate that Zhang Jianguo's wife played a significant role in his corruption and bribery case, and there must be some unknown secrets behind it.

Do you know Wang Yan and Pan Feifei?

Mentioning these two people really hit her weak spot.

She suddenly changed her tune and angrily shouted, "Those two vixens! They're the ones who seduced my husband and ruined our family! They deserve to die a horrible death!"

She was indignant and hurled insults at the two of them, but made no mention of any wrongdoing on Zhang Jianguo's part.

Her behavior shocked the values ​​of the investigators.

They were astonished by this eccentric couple, each of whom kept mistresses and spent a considerable amount of money on their respective lovers.

Investigators concluded that Zhang Jianguo's wife was lying. It seemed that she and Zhang Jianguo had some kind of vested interest, especially regarding the money she used to support her lover. If it wasn't given by Zhang Jianguo, it must have been obtained from other channels.

After questioning the couple, the case made no progress whatsoever.

They covered for each other, each claiming they didn't know anything about the other's affairs, but where did their enormous wealth come from?

Investigators suspect that the two must have rehearsed their statements beforehand.

They had no choice but to find another way, deciding to turn to the young lover kept by Zhang Jianguo's wife for a breakthrough.

After all, the two had been together for several years, so the young man might have some knowledge of Zhang Jianguo's wife's situation.

The young man was relatively honest, but during the subsequent interrogation, one of his remarks immediately aroused the high vigilance of the investigators.

"Sister Xue said that her family's fixed assets are at least 100 million yuan, and that number is increasing every year..."

The investigators asked curiously, "What do you mean by 'annual growth'?"

The young man pondered for a few seconds and said, "I remember Sister Xue telling me before that her husband has three great hobbies: collecting calligraphy and paintings, gold, and fine wines. She even secretly sent me a few cases of fine wines."

He said with a proud look, "Those are the best wines on the market right now, famous wines aged for decades, each bottle costs tens of thousands of yuan. I don't like drinking, so I sold them all to famous wine buying shops..."

The young man's words contained a lot of information, and the investigators suddenly had a breakthrough.

They concluded that Zhang Jianguo's luxurious villa must be hiding some unknown secret.

They immediately notified their colleagues in Jinan City of this information.

Upon receiving the notification, the Quancheng City police dispatched a large number of officers to conduct a thorough search of Zhang Jianguo's mansion.

Less than half a day later, good news came from Jinan City.

They discovered a large number of calligraphy and paintings in the mansion. After expert appraisal, these calligraphy and paintings were all genuine works by famous artists and were quite valuable. The initial market price was estimated to be around 20 million.

However, the gold and fine wines mentioned by the young man have not yet been found.

The investigators from both sides immediately began to interrogate Zhang Jianguo and his wife again.

Surprisingly, the two remained steadfast.

"These are all things I usually find at flea markets. As for what you're saying they're worth tens of millions, I really don't know," Zhang Jianguo said, looking completely bewildered.

"Now that things have come to this, aren't you going to just tell the truth?"

In response to the investigators' questions, Zhang Jianguo made a last-ditch effort, saying, "I've confessed to everything that needs to be confessed."

Meanwhile, Zhang Jianguo's lawyer has also become involved in the case and is trying to find a way to bail Zhang Jianguo out.

The Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection attached great importance to this case. They suspected that this state-owned enterprise, which once had considerable influence in Jinan City and even the province, might have been gradually hollowed out by corrupt officials like Zhang Jianguo.

Zhang Jianguo's bail request was ruthlessly rejected.

Regarding the other suspect, Gao, the former president of the company who has retired, the Quancheng Public Security Bureau has dispatched police to the south to make an arrest.

Zhang Jianguo's wife claimed to be unaware of the large number of calligraphy and paintings hidden in their home.

From the day Zhang Jianguo was placed under investigation, some people in Jinan City have been on tenterhooks.

They were afraid that if Zhang Jianguo were arrested, they would definitely be implicated.

Another piece of good news has arrived.

Through meticulous investigation, the investigators finally discovered Pan Feifei, who was on the run in a southern city.

At this moment, she is holed up in a suburban guesthouse.

The officers burst through the door, which startled Pan Feifei.

In the small room, the table was piled with all kinds of snacks. Pan Feifei was eating snacks while listening to prenatal music with headphones on.

At this time, she was three months pregnant. Perhaps due to the excellent nutrition, she had gained a little weight and her pregnancy was already showing.

Upon seeing the police officers handling the case, Pan Feifei realized that her scheme had been exposed.

She carefully packed her luggage, and just before leaving, her words shocked the police officers present:

"Officer, I can confess about my affair with Mr. Zhang, but... I have a small request..."

"Oh, what are the requirements?"

"I'm pregnant with Mr. Zhang's child. If the child is born, will I be able to claim a share of his assets...?"
