After I finished speaking, he didn't reply. He just stared at the USB drive on the table for a while before reaching out and taking it from me.

His action also signifies that our cooperation has officially begun.

He put his things in his bag, looked at me with a hint of scrutiny, and then smiled meaningfully, "Ms. Jiang, our cooperation will definitely be very pleasant, and perhaps we will meet again soon."

After he finished speaking, he turned and left. Ge Zeyu and I exchanged a glance, feeling somewhat uneasy.

I took a deep breath and couldn't help but ask, "Do you think our guess might be wrong?"

“Now that things have come to this point, I believe my dad wouldn’t lie to me.” Ge Zeyu’s face was devoid of any smile, his eyes filled with seriousness.

Now, success or failure hinges on this moment. Only by tripping up Chang Xin can the Fu family disappear along with him.

Without hesitation, we grabbed the files copied from the USB drive, turned on the computer, and quickly transferred them to an email address.

Over the next few days, the two of us waited for news, while Ge Zeyu was also busy, constantly trying to find out where Chang Xin might have hidden the money.

Then, Xu Qing suddenly called us. When we answered, he was panting heavily. "It seems we've fallen into a trap. I've found it. Where exactly is the money hidden?"

The accounts from many years ago are no longer clear to Ge Zeyu and me. The project in the east of the city is the most likely to bring down Changxin.

After all, he was the one who orchestrated this project, and the Fu family was also involved. The evidence had been collected and handed over to Lan Jian. Now the most important thing was to find out where the money Chang Xin had embezzled was.

If they could find that money, they could completely ruin his life. During this time, Ge Zeyu and Xu Qing had been working hard, mobilizing all their connections.

Xu Qing's sudden words to the two of us made my heart skip a beat, and a bad feeling welled up inside me.

"What do you mean? You've already found where the money is?"

Xu Qing nodded immediately, then quickly said, "That money was in Mrs. Chang's name. I didn't expect Chang Xin to pull the rug out from under us. The couple has accumulated a lot of assets over the years, but when they divided the assets, they didn't do it in front of everyone. A portion of the assets was divided in secret."

"Chang Xin has put all the money for this East City project into Mrs. Chang's hands. Once this matter is settled and Mrs. Chang is arrested, we will all be suspects."

Hearing this, I couldn't help but gasp. After all, Ge Zeyu and I had gone to great lengths to help the two of them get a divorce, and to outsiders, it seemed that I had a better relationship with Mrs. Chang.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to such lengths to contact lawyers for her and even speak up for her in public.

Just as Xu Qing finished speaking, a familiar voice came from downstairs, followed by An Fu leading a group of police officers in.

They were special inspectors who could mobilize everyone, even the police, who had to obey their orders.

"Miss Jiang, I'm afraid we'll have to trouble you to come with us."

I stood on the second floor, hung up Xu Qing's call, and glanced at Ge Zeyu. Now, with this investigation, he probably can't escape.

Soon, we were both taken to the police station. Anfu was very careful in his work. From the moment we left the villa, he did not allow us to meet again, and even though we were picked up and dropped off in two separate cars along the way.

I guess they were afraid that Ge Zeyu and I would match our statements, and that we would be questioned separately once we got to the location.

I sat anxiously in my room, waiting for an hour or two, but no one came. My anxiety gradually increased, but I had to suppress it.

Finally, the door creaked open, and I looked up to see An Fu walk in. "Miss Jiang, we've met before, so there's no need for me to introduce myself again. I've called you here today to discuss something with you, about Madam Chang."

I remained silent and did not answer. At this moment, the more I said, the more mistakes I would make. It was better to wait for her to ask something.

Next, An Fu asked me about my relationship with Madam Chang, why I visited Madam Chang in the hospital several times, and whether I knew that she had made a lot of money from the development of the two plots of land in the west and east of the city.

Anfu told me that all the evidence now points to Madam Chang and Uncle Ge, because it was Uncle Ge's driver who spread the news. Although there was no money in Uncle Ge's account, all the money was in Madam Chang's name.

At this point, she abruptly changed the subject, slammed her hand on the table, and demanded, "What role did Miss Jiang play in this matter? And what is the relationship between Mrs. Chang and Mr. Ge?"

I took a deep breath. This mudslinging was really quick. It's obvious that she had a past relationship with Chang Xin and was secretly favoring him, yet she still hasn't arrested Bian Jiahui. And now she has the nerve to come and question me.

Thinking of this, my expression and tone turned sour. "Inspector An, you seem to be a truly impartial and selfless person. I remember submitting some evidence to you before. So much time has passed, and the matter of my father's death still hasn't been investigated thoroughly?"

An Fu frowned slightly, but instead of answering my question directly, he slammed his hand on the table. "I'm asking you about Madam Chang's matter now. As for your father's case, it will eventually be investigated and you will be given an explanation, but not now."

"Ha!" I couldn't help but sneer. She really spoke so selflessly. If I hadn't overheard her conversation with Chang Xin, I probably would have believed her.

"Mrs. Chang and Uncle Ge have no relationship whatsoever. Uncle Ge has been slandered by others from beginning to end. As for who did this, it is obvious that it was Chang Xin."

After I finished speaking, An Fu suddenly stood up and almost instinctively retorted, "That's absolutely impossible, I know..."

At this point, she suddenly stopped. Lan Jian, sitting next to her, glanced at her and then began to smooth things over.

“Miss Jiang, you can’t say things like that without evidence. Otherwise, you’re slandering a public official, which is no small crime.”

After Lan Jian finished speaking to me, he reassured me, "The most important thing now is the money for the West City project. There were rumors that the West City would be developed, but in the end, the East City was developed instead. It's obvious that someone wanted to make money off me. We need to find out the truth as soon as possible."
