I just joined the inspection department, and the whole country is in a panic.

In fact, Gu Jiaming has already secretly received about 30 million yuan in embezzled funds.

He had also considered continuing to use lottery winnings to launder money.

But he still exercised caution.

Because his son had previously won 800 million yuan in the lottery, and his brother-in-law had also won 500 million yuan in the lottery.

If you let your son win a few more times, outsiders will think your luck is too good.

Even if you take his wife's blood, it won't work!

So in the past two years, he hesitated and stopped using lottery winnings to launder money.

So he came up with another way, which was to launder money in a more conventional way.

They used the catering and beverage industries to launder money.

This is a relatively safe approach.

The downside is that it washes slowly!

Since he took the position of executive director.

The power in his hands is growing.

More and more bosses are asking him for favors.

But now the amount of embezzled money is increasing, now exceeding 3000 million, and it is estimated to be even more in the future.

It feels like the speed at which they're washing clothes can't keep up with the speed at which they're collecting money!

This can't go on.

So he also became anxious.

The main thing is that most of the bosses give money in this way: some give tens of thousands, some hundreds of thousands, and some millions. Most of them give cash or gold bars.

This meant that when others brought him money, he had to find a place to hide all the cash that came in installments.

Cash tends to get moldy if it's kept hidden for too long!

Especially during the humid season in the south, the indoor air feels like it has been drenched in rain. Even with the doors and windows closed, a bit of damp air still gets in.

So even though he filled the places where he hid the cash with desiccants over the three years, it was still inevitable that a small portion of the cash would get moldy.

If this continues, before the money is even laundered, all the hidden money will have gone moldy.

"There's nothing we can do about it being slow!" Gu Jiaming lit a cigarette and said with some melancholy.

"Here's what we'll do: after a while, have your uncle go to the three neighboring cities and open three more liquor stores and three more restaurants. Try to speed things up!" Gu Jiaming said after thinking for a moment.

“Dad, I heard from a friend that underground banks are a quick way to launder money, so maybe…” Gu Xiaohu suddenly said.

"That kind of risk is too great, and it's easy to be double-crossed. If the other party finds out our information, we won't dare to say a word!" Gu Jiaming waved his hand, indicating that he didn't really want to use that method.

"Our current method of relying on physical stores is the safest! As long as the washing is not too big, it is almost impossible to detect."

"Here's what we'll do: use the money you won in the lottery to open another big bar! Bars are money pits; you can launder millions a year. If it's successful, you can open a few more in the next city," Gu Jiaming said in a deep voice.

“Okay! By the way, I also want to start a tea business! The tea market has been doing quite well these past few years,” Gu Xiaohu added.

"Sure, since it's all real business that mainly involves cash consumption, we can do as much as we want. The more we do, the faster we can launder money."

"Okay!" Gu Xiaohu nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

After Gu Xiaohu left, Gu Jiaming lit another cigarette and sighed softly.

He never imagined that money would come so quickly after he took this position two years ago.

It happened so fast that it caught him off guard.

It can't be washed that quickly!

Actually, he had considered giving up.

But he knew that from the moment he received that first payment, there was no turning back.

Even if you collect two or three million, you'll still be imprisoned for ten years.

Even if you collect 30 to 50 million, you'll still be imprisoned for ten years.

They'll collect one or two hundred million, or maybe twelve or thirteen years.

So since there's no return rate, why not take the opportunity to make more money?

Go all out!

Go all out!

"I hope things can stay stable for the next two or three years," Gu Jiaming prayed silently.

He was relegated to a secondary role due to his age.

So it's good to collect more money in the next two or three years.

He also plans to have his son find a way to transfer some money overseas in the near future.

Because now the money in his son's account is all truly 'clean' money.

Part of it came from winning the lottery, and part from dividends earned from investing in restaurants and liquor distilleries.

Transfer some of the money overseas and store or hide it somewhere. Even if something happens to you, your son will still be able to live a wealthy life for the rest of his life.

When I get out after ten years or so, I can still retire comfortably with a house full of children and grandchildren.

While Gu Jiaming was daydreaming, Yang Wen had already begun investigating the other party's ancestors for eighteen generations.

……

"According to information from my previous life, when Gu Jiaming was brought down, it was discovered that he still had 30 to 40 million yuan in ill-gotten gains that hadn't been laundered. So, Gu Jiaming must still have a lot of embezzled funds now," Yang Wen thought to himself as he reviewed the information he had collected.

So this money must be hidden somewhere!

However, according to the information from the previous life, it seems to have been hidden in the home of a certain relative.

Therefore, investigating Gu Jiaming's home and the houses under his son's name is useless.

It didn't even exist in their home!

According to the investigation, Gu Jiaming's son, Gu Xiaohu, owns a villa and three houses.

But none of these are places to hide money!

To put it bluntly, we still need to find that key relative.

Soon, Yang Wen began screening through Gu Jiaming's hundreds of relatives.

Anyone who had run a business or was from a well-off family was the first to step forward.

They selected everyone, from distant aunts and uncles to all sorts of far-off relatives.

They found the relatives starting from Gu Jiaming's grandfather's generation.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Yang Wen and his two colleagues finally managed to compile a batch.

"Old Wang, summon Zeng Haifeng over. We need to have him verify if he remembers us."

"Row."

An hour later.

Zeng Haifeng arrived.

"Mr. Zeng, take a look at these photos. Which one do you recognize, even just a little bit?" Yang Wen took out more than thirty photos.

Zeng Haifeng mentioned last time that the person he was dealing with face-to-face was a middle-aged man.

“Okay, but I can’t guarantee how much I can still remember,” Zeng Haifeng said.

The person he initially traded with was wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses, and since the deal was finalized at night, the second meeting was also at night.

Several more years have passed, and he can't guarantee he'll still recognize it!

"Take a look first," Yang Wen waved his hand, indicating that the other party should not feel pressured.

"Row."

Then Zeng Haifeng began to examine it carefully.

He would look at each photo for a minute or two, examining it very carefully.
