"I already said it, it belongs to my son-in-law! This cash should be his," Xia Ming began to argue.

"Heh, your son-in-law's?" Peng Weizhong sneered.

They just checked, and the house is indeed registered under his son-in-law's name.

"Your son-in-law's salary is so low, how could he possibly have 60 yuan in cash?" Peng Weizhong's tone gradually turned cold.

"I...I don't know, maybe he borrowed it from someone else?" Xia Ming pretended not to know.

Are you sure this money isn't yours?

"No, absolutely not!"

"Then why are you hiding under the balcony? Are you feeling guilty and afraid of getting caught?" Peng Weizhong sneered.

"I'm afraid it might be a thief. I'm afraid of dying. What if a thief breaks in and takes my life? So, so I'm hiding." Xia Ming came up with a lame excuse.

"Xia Ming, are you sure you think I'm an idiot?" Peng Weizhong slammed his hand on the table and roared.

"I'll ask you one more time, whose house is this? And is this money yours?"

"This house belongs to my son-in-law, and this money isn't mine either..." Xia Ming stubbornly insisted.

He still harbored a sliver of hope.

Trying to get away with it!

If his son-in-law could take the blame for him, that would be wonderful.

"You said your relative, your son-in-law, went out before. When did he leave?"

"I don't really remember when it was." Xia Ming was sweating profusely.

The community has surveillance cameras.

Once he speaks up, he'll be exposed.

It seems we can't hide it any longer!

……

The interrogation room next door.

Xia Ming's son-in-law, Shen Daoyuan, sat somewhat nervously opposite Yang Wen.

"Shen Daoyuan, is apartment 601 in building 3 of Guangming Residential Area yours?" Yang Wen asked casually.

"Yes, it's my house," Shen Daoyuan replied after a moment's hesitation.

"Very well, since it's your house, where did the 60 yuan in cash in your house come from? You shouldn't have that much cash on your salary, right?" Yang Wen questioned coldly.

As soon as these words came out.

Shen Daoyuan's forehead was covered in sweat!

60 million!

cash?

Could it be the 60 yuan I gave to my father-in-law today?

The house he bought was in his name, but the money came from his father-in-law. He has never been there since the house was bought and renovated. He doesn't have a key to the house and doesn't know whether his father-in-law wants the house to store money or to support his mistress!

"Well... I borrowed it from my younger brother. I'm planning to pay off my mortgage in one go. By the way, I borrowed 80 yuan, of which 20 yuan is still at my current home. I'm planning to buy my wife a car..." Shen Daoyuan said, forcing himself to speak.

"Mm." Yang Wen nodded slightly.

Although it's a bit clumsy, overall it's not bad.

"How many safes are there in this apartment in Guangming Community?" Yang Wen asked with a smile.

When Shen Daoyuan heard that there were several safes, his heart sank to the bottom.

Oh shit!

I've never even been to this house. Who the hell knows how many safes my father-in-law has in there?

However, he quickly calmed down.

Given my father-in-law's financial situation, he probably won't buy too many safes.

One at most?

Gambling addict!

If you say no, that's impossible!

“One.” Shen Daoyuan took a deep breath and then spoke slowly.

Yang Wen narrowed his eyes at Shen Daoyuan and sneered, "What's inside the safe?"

"This... there's cash, gold bars, and the like." Shen Daoyuan was still guessing blindly.

He helped transfer most of his father-in-law's money to him.

Aside from cash and gold, it seems there's nothing else.

His father-in-law didn't know anything about antiques, so he never touched them.

"Mm." Yang Wen nodded gently.

The safe indeed only contained cash and gold bars!

"So how much cash and gold bars are there?"

"Well... about 30 gold bars, and cash... about 200 million, but I don't remember the exact amount, since I don't count them often." Shen Daoyuan's back was soaked with sweat as he guessed under immense pressure.

"Hehe." Yang Wen chuckled.

"And what's the safe's combination?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Daoyuan was completely stunned.

He could roughly predict the others, but he really didn't know this password!

Damn it, does anyone know what password my father-in-law set?

"Can't say it now, huh? Heh, although this house is in your name, the 60 yuan in cash and the things in the safe aren't actually yours, are they? So, whose are they?" Yang Wen questioned in a deep voice.

"I advise you to think this through before you speak! If you continue to make up stories for me, don't blame me for not giving you a chance to redeem yourself!" Yang Wen began to gauge Shen Daoyuan's psychology.

At this moment, Shen Daoyuan, who was in a state of tension, anxiety, and despair, felt his heart sink to the bottom after hearing Yang Wen's words.

He knew he was finished.

The explanation that the safe has a combination lock is unclear; nothing I say makes sense!

"I'm willing to confess, I'm willing to confess everything. I only ask to atone for my mistakes, no, no, I hope to make up for some of the errors I made..." Shen Daoyuan chose to confess!

Upon hearing that Shen Daoyuan was going to confess, Yang Wen smiled slightly and said, "Alright, go ahead!"

“My brother did give me 80 yuan today, but it wasn’t a loan. I gave 60 yuan to my father-in-law and kept 20 yuan for myself. This money came from the training fees, but there’s something fishy about it. My father-in-law used his position to manipulate things behind the scenes.”

"As long as you pay 100,000 or 150,000, you have a 99% chance of successfully passing the exam."

really!

Upon hearing this, Yang Wen's eyes lit up.

Just as he had predicted.

"So, your father-in-law is using his position to secretly manipulate things? How is he doing it?" Yang Wen asked, narrowing his eyes.

"Yes."

"Actually, he doesn't need to do much. Those interviewers are his subordinates. Even if they are not his direct subordinates, he can still manipulate things secretly as long as he arranges the exam list, exam room, and interviewers."

"He only needs to subtly mention a candidate's name to the interviewer, and I believe his subordinates will know what to do."

“If you don’t listen to him, haha, he’ll definitely make things difficult for you later! Besides, my father-in-law invited these people to dinner, and with a few subtle words, these subordinates or interviewers will definitely have to give him face,” Shen Daoyuan said truthfully.

"So, quite a few people are involved!" Yang Wen asked in a deep voice.

"Yes, but I don't know exactly who it is. I only know a few people I'm fairly familiar with and have eaten with a few times." Shen Daoyuan nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

"Very well, very well, it really is a case of pulling up a radish and bringing out mud along with it!"
