An Audi A6 parked slowly outside the courtyard of a three-story villa in Wangde Village.
As the driver got out of the car, he opened the rear door.
Zhao An, who was wearing black sunglasses and a big gold chain, walked out of the car with a big belly. The next person who got off the car was Yang Chen, who was wearing casual jeans and a thin black turtleneck sweater knitted by Li Xiaoran himself.
Yang Chen's figure is straight and stylish, with a cigarette in his hand and bright eyes.
"You wait for us here."
After Zhao Anping gave instructions to the driver, he and Yang Chen walked outside the small courtyard and rang the doorbell.
About two minutes later, the door of the villa slowly opened, and a beautiful young woman wearing a pink dress, a black outer suit, and her hair tied up walked out. This person was Guan Tingting, Cao Yonghua's wife.
"Boss Zhao, Doctor Yang, why are you here?"
Looking at the two people at the door, Guan Tingting obviously didn't expect it. She quickly wiped her red eyes and walked out with a man wearing a gray and white plaid suit and black-rimmed glasses who looked quite serious and reserved.
"We heard about Lao Cao and came over to see if there is anything we can do to help."
Yang Chen looked at the young woman approaching and said.
"Boss Zhao, Doctor Yang, please come in quickly."
Upon hearing that she was here to help, Guan Tingting's eyes were filled with emotion, and she quickly opened the door of the small courtyard and invited the two of them in.
Arrive at the parlor.
Guan Tingting hurriedly poured tea for Yang Chen and Zhao An'an, and then sat on a chair to the side.
Yang Chen smoked a cigarette and glanced at the pile of documents on the table, which were basically legal documents and contracts.
"Let me introduce to you, this is Lawyer Xu, Lao Cao's legal adviser."
"Lawyer Xu, these two are Lao Cao's business partners and good friends."
Guan Tingting introduced.
"Hello you two."
Lawyer Xu raised his black eyes and looked very serious. He could tell that he was a senior legal advisor.
"Mrs. Cao, what's going on now? I heard about Lao Cao from a friend yesterday. We don't know what it is exactly."
"I heard that the six supermarkets under Lao Cao's name have now been sealed. They are conducting internal self-examinations and people from the food safety department have formed a working group to station."
"This is not only related to our vital interests, but most importantly, it is also related to Lao Cao. Even though Lao Cao is a partner, he is also a friend, so we cannot ignore it."
"So I came here uninvited today and wanted to ask about the situation."
Zhao Anping took out a cigarette and was about to light it when he saw Guan Tingting's slightly bulging belly and placed it on the table.
"It's better not to be too anxious. It's easy to get pregnant. It's not easy for you to be pregnant with your first child in your thirties."
Yang Chen looked Guan Tingting up and down and said.
"Boss Zhao, Doctor Yang, thank you."
"What happened to our Lao Cao happened very suddenly. There is no conclusion yet, but just this morning, not to mention several of his previous partners who did not answer our calls, there are also several long-term partners.
I’ve already called to prepare to terminate the contract.”
"Lawyer Xu is now sorting out the information to see if there is any chance of salvation."
"If the business fails, I can accompany Lao Cao to make a comeback, but if Lao Cao is involved, what will we orphans and widowers do?"
Speaking of Lao Cao's arrest, Guan Tingting couldn't help but shed tears.
"Don't worry, Mrs. Cao. It's still in the investigation stage and there is no conclusion yet. Besides, there are such professional lawyers."
Yang Chen stood up, took out a few tissues, handed them over, and said.
"Lawyer Xu, can you elaborate?"
Zhao Anping continued to ask.
"Mr. Cao was reported by a company employee, from the director of the purchasing department, saying that Mr. Cao was selling fake milk powder in six supermarkets tomorrow."
"After receiving the news, the relevant departments conducted a surprise inspection of six supermarkets, and indeed found fake milk powder in the six supermarkets, and it was also baby milk powder."
"Now all the milk powder has been sealed and taken to the food safety department for investigation, and Mr. Cao was also taken away by the Public Security Bureau."
"According to Ma Wei, the manager of the purchasing department who made the report, this purchase of fake milk powder was privately authorized by Mr. Cao, and he just betrayed the execution. But because he really didn't want to see any babies harmed by the fake milk powder, he reported it with his real name and surrendered.
Already."
"And Ma Wei also has WeChat chat records with Mr. Cao as proof."
"Food safety has always been a major issue in our country. If a comprehensive supermarket touches the red line of food safety, it is tantamount to seeking death."
"Now all the evidence is against us. This case will be very difficult to deal with unless evidence is found to prove that this matter has nothing to do with Mr. Cao."
Lawyer Xu said seriously.
"Boss Zhao, Doctor Yang, you all know our old Cao. Our old Cao has always been very rigorous in doing things and has a straightforward personality. He has offended many people."
"I guarantee that the fake milk powder thing has nothing to do with Lao Cao!"
Guan Tingting said decisively.
"Of course, I also believe that your husband is not such a person."
Yang Chen listened to what Lawyer Xu and Guan Tingting said, and turned to look at Zhao An'an, who looked solemn: "Old Zhao, it seems that we have to start with Ma Wei to handle this matter."
"Ma Wei has been arrested now. It will be a bit difficult for us to get information from him."
Zhao Anping hesitated for a moment and said.
"certainly."
"Then let's wait for Ma Wei's boss to call us."
Yang Chen squinted his eyes and raised a smile at the corner of his mouth.
He probably already guessed some of the other party's intentions.
"Boss Zhao, Doctor Yang, do you know who framed our old Cao?"
Guan Tingting wiped her tears and asked in surprise.
"You probably know something about it, so don't worry about this matter. Lao Zhao and I will handle it."
"I guarantee that Lao Cao will come back safe and sound."
Yang Chen nodded firmly and said.
About half past three.
Only then did Yang Chen and Zhao An'an go out with Guan Tingting's farewell, got in the car, and headed towards Ning County.
The two of them had just arrived in the county.
Zhao An'an's phone suddenly rang. Seeing that the caller ID showed an unfamiliar number, he looked up at Yang Chen who was smoking: "Doctor Yang, are you really talking about this?"
"catch."
Yang Chen turned around and said with a smile.
Zhao Ping'an was a little panicked. If Yang Chen guessed correctly, this call should have come from Ma Wei's boss, someone from the Shuanglin Group.
Facing a large enterprise like Shuanglin Group, Zhao Ping'an couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
"Hello, hello, I'm Zhao An'an."
Zhao Ping'an answered the phone and said solemnly.
"Hello, Mr. Zhao, I am Qi Chengye, general manager of Shuanglin Group's business department. I don't know if Mr. Zhao has time. Let's make an appointment for a meal in the evening. Of course, this meal will definitely not be in vain. It will make you and Yang
Mr. Satisfied.”
On the other side of the phone, a cheerful voice came.
When Zhao An'an heard that the other party was the manager of Shuanglin Group's business department, he twisted his neck and stared at Yang Chen.
Yang Chen nodded, signaling his agreement.
"good!"
"Send me the time and place."
Zhao Ping An was also very pretentious and hung up the phone immediately after speaking.
immediately.
He received a text message: "Doctor Yang, he has invited us to the Shuanglin Hotel in Donghai City at 7:30 in the evening."
"Then what are you waiting for? Someone is inviting us to dinner, we have to hurry up."
Yang Chen crossed his legs, narrowed his eyes and smiled.
