Chapter 879: Chapter 882: The Inescapable Law Net
Lei Qiang could forget anyone.
But he must never forget the figure seated at the front.
That was a legend of the Ross Family!
A man powerful enough to shake the global economy to its core.
The current head of the Ross Family—Lante!
“Prince Lante!”
In an instant, Lei Qiang fell to his knees.
No!
He prostrated himself on the ground; just the na Lante alone drained every ounce of his strength.
That was a presence beyond resistance.
“Lei Qiang, born in Sichuan Province, Huaxia, graduated from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, joined AVI Group with excellent grades, and within five years beca the regional representative for the Central Asia region…”
Lante articulated every detail of Lei Qiang’s background as he lay prostrate on the floor.
“Two years ago, you were promoted to regional general manager. You worked hard for your career. On behalf of the Ross Family, I thank you.”
Hearing the word “thank,” Lei Qiang felt no joy.
On the contrary, he felt even more anxious.
Because whenever soone in the company was caught violating the rules,
the leader would always start by stating their background, then express gratitude, and finally point out the violations.
The result was always the sa: complete ruin. Those less fortunate were directly sent to prison in Arica.
“Regional General Manager Lei Qiang, one year ago in Sakura City, Island Nation, under the pretense of cooperation, you tortured and killed an eighteen-year-old girl. You silenced the matter with a large payoff. That’s the first incident.”
“Second: eight months ago, in Nuo Country…”
For the next few minutes, Lante listed each of Lei Qiang’s cris in detail.
Everyone present was utterly shocked in mind and spirit.
The first incident, in particular, was the most egregious.
To think he tortured and killed a young girl!
And to end it with a monetary bribe to suppress the story.
Other incidents did not involve deaths, but the number of people and families he hard
was appalling to an unimaginable degree!
Soone like him does not deserve these positions or statuses.
The only place he belongs is behind the barbed-wire fences of a high-security prison!
“Do you rember these violations?”
After recounting all of Lei Qiang’s misdeeds, Lante slowly clenched his fist.
He once thought he was wretched enough, but he never imagined soone could be even more terrifying.
If it weren’t for Xia Liu bringing him to Harbor City,
these deeds might have continued to be buried.
If the dia were to uncover them, AVI Group would be finished.
Lante felt fortunate. This ti, he could not only clean up a regional general manager but also purify the internal ranks of AVI Group.
Lei Qiang’s face had already turned pale. Every word of his was caught in his throat.
Prostrate on the ground, he buried his face into the carpet, fearing anyone might glimpse his disgraceful state.
“Don’t worry, when you return to Arica, you won’t be lonely. I will uncover everyone involved one by one. The law is broad and net-like, leaving no escape!”
Clap, clap, clap…
Lante’s words drew applause from Guo Man, Xilu, and others.
Well said! The law is broad and net-like, leaving no escape. Once a cri is committed, there is only one eventual outco.
No matter how well you hide, nothing in this world is airtight. Facing justice is only a matter of ti.
Indeed, just a matter of ti.
Xia Liu did not applaud.
Because he, too, was soone with his own issues.
Broad but not escaping—wasn’t he one of those who had slipped through the cracks for now?
He was rely waiting for the day his fa??ade was punctured, when endless accusations would rain down upon him.
But he had no regrets, for along the way, he had given much and protected many.
If not for him, Guo Man might have already been ruined by Liang Chao and the others.
Given her disposition, if such a thing had happened, suicide would have been her first choice.
This ti, he had also greatly aided the Guo Family Group.
With the Guo Family Group’s influence, even if the Ross Family wanted to enter Huaxia, they wouldn’t approach the Guo Family for cooperation.
Though there was so sorrow, Xia Liu felt no guilt.
“President Guo, my lack of oversight has caused you trouble.”
Lante spoke sowhat awkwardly.
After all, as the head of the Ross Family, for his subordinate to offend Guo Man was effectively offending Xia Liu himself.
His apology carried a trace of bitter humility.
“Not at all, Mr. Lante. To see you handle things so justly is a blessing for many people.”
“I’m ashad. Once I return to Arica, I will cooperate with the authorities to ensure that no criminal has any opportunity to escape. Justice will be served.”
“That’s the best approach. Xiao Bai, you’ve finally done sothing aningful.”
Xia Liu finally spoke.
Upon reflection, he realized the fundantal difference between himself and Lei Qiang was too vast.
The weight of Lei Qiang’s offenses could not be placed on his own shoulders.
“Benefactor, I’ve made a fool of myself in front of you.”
“By the way, Mr. Lante, how do you plan to transport him back?”
Guo Man suddenly realized, and if Lante didn’t have any options, she contemplated asking Zhuge Yingtian for help. She thought this might make Lante see her in a different light.
“This ti, I commandeered a military fighter jet. Transporting a transnational criminal back is sothing they’d happily assist with.”
“Pfft!”
“Oh my god, a military fighter jet!”
“Unbelievable. Truly unbelievable!”
Xilu, Lina, and Xima were utterly astounded.
Lante truly lived up to his na—the wealthiest man in the world. It was no joke.
Guo Man and Xia Liu exchanged shocked glances.
She had previously suspected how Xia Liu’s friend had managed to travel such a distance to Harbor City in a short ti.
It turned out to be a fighter jet! Completely beyond expectations.
“If it’s a military fighter jet, then Mr. Lante must have landed at the Harbor City Military Region?”
Guo Man asked.
“Yes, before I arrived, Huaxia approved my entry and Harbor City also provided support, particularly General Zhuge Yingtian.”
Lante smiled warmly and summarized the situation briefly.
“Zhuge Yingtian is my grandfather. I can have him send soone to escort Lei Qiang away. Mr. Lante, you could stay and enjoy Harbor City for a few more days.”
Seizing the opportunity, Guo Man eagerly displayed her connections.
“So, President Guo is General Zhuge’s granddaughter. What a pleasure to et you.”
Lante responded enthusiastically, imitating the Huaxia Warrior gesture of cupped fists toward Guo Man.
Guo Man smiled graciously and directed Xilu to arrange for the military region to take Lei Qiang away.
As noon approached, Guo Man invited Lante and Xia Liu to go downstairs to find a restaurant for lunch.
When it was just the three of them, Guo Man felt utterly like the third wheel.
There was simply no opportunity to interject between Xia Liu and Lante.
The two of them were like brothers. As they talked, there was no hint of formality.
Likewise, Xia Liu was just as relaxed, despite his current role as a bodyguard. When conversing with the world’s wealthiest man, he was completely at ease, talking freely.
This left Guo Man filled with envy.
At the sa ti, it made her even more curious about Xia Liu. She rested against the car’s rear window, closely observing him as he drove…
