Chapter 59: The Fraud Case
Ten minutes later, a document appeared in front of General Wang Jianguo.
“General, this is the information we’ve found,” the adjutant said in a serious tone. “This individual, Wang Huan, was Mr. Fang Jian’s mentor when he started working in Mali. They had a very friendly relationship.”
“Alright.”
“A few months ago, Wang Huan resigned and joined a private company involved in the gold trade,” the adjutant continued. “Based on the information we’ve gathered, he’s now entangled in a multi-million-dollar fraud case, and the specifics are still under investigation.”
“Where is Wang Huan now?”
“He’s in the Magic City, sir,” the adjutant replied. “He has already been detained by the authorities there.”
“Good. Notify Comrade Zhang Liang immediately about the situation and ask him to inform Mr. Fang Jian. Also, assure him that Wang Huan will be safe,” he paused and added, “Ask him if Wang Huan needs bail pending trial. If he does, we will handle the procedures and guarantees.”
“Yes, sir.”
The adjutant saluted and left. He wasn’t surprised by the general’s decision, as he knew Mr. Fang Jian’s identity. This was the first time Mr. Fang Jian had requested their help, and they had to assist flawlessly.
After all, considering the supply and demand relationship between the two parties, Mr. Fang Jian’s importance to them was irreplaceable in the short term.
Meanwhile, Mr. Fang Jian was on the phone with his parents before getting into his car to head for the highway. After crying for a while, Aunt Liu finally remembered to call Mr. Fang Jian and provide him with the address.
Mr. Fang Jian, though a bit anxious, maintained a speed of 120 kilometers per hour on the highway without exceeding the speed limit recklessly. The length of this reflex arc left Mr. Fang Jian speechless for a long time.
In a confused conversation, Mr. Fang Jian added the other person on WeChat and obtained the precise location. It wasn’t that Mr. Fang Jian couldn’t understand the text message, but he didn’t dare to trust the person’s words anymore. It was better to rely on direct location navigation for accuracy. It takes about two hours to drive from Yongcheng to the Magic City.
Fortunately, Aunt Liu’s call came relatively early, and Mr. Fang Jian immediately set off after obtaining the location. So, when he arrived in the Magic City, it was only around 3:30 p.m.
Although traffic congestion had already begun at this time, the cars could still move. If it were two hours later…
Mr. Fang Jian wouldn’t bother driving and would just take the high-speed rail. It would be faster and more efficient. The traffic speed during the peak hours in a first-tier city was unbearable for ordinary people. Finally, when Mr. Fang Jian stopped the car following the navigation, several WeChat messages had already been sent to his phone.
Fang Jian picked up his phone and glanced at the messages, nodding in agreement. It was indeed the right choice to seek help from Zhang Liang and the people behind him in times like this.
After his mentor left his previous job, he joined a new company. This company was also involved in the gold business, but its operations were not limited to the domestic market; it was global.
Moreover, it was a private company. Fang Jian understood his mentor’s decision. The company must have offered higher commissions and a managerial position. His mentor had been there for over half a year and had consistently achieved outstanding performance. It could be considered a successful venture in middle age.
However, half a month ago, his mentor made a mistake. After signing a gold purchase agreement, he allowed someone to transfer the initial ten million payment directly.
There was an issue with this payment. The partner they collaborated with turned out to be a fraudulent company. As soon as they received the payment, the company disappeared.
The headquarters investigated and discovered the problem, leading them to report it to the police. As a result, Fang Jian’s mentor, Wang Huan, was detained.
Ten million yuan was a significant sum. Furthermore, the information indicated that there were irregularities in the transfer of the initial payment, which was the result of his mentor’s unilateral decision.
Based on the available information, anyone’s first impression would be conspiracy and embezzlement of public funds.
Fang Jian silently read the information twice, parked his car, and followed the address Aunt Liu had provided to his mentor’s house. Wang Huan was a resident of the Magic City, and this was Fang Jian’s first visit to his mentor’s home.
It was an ordinary relatively new building with an elevator, but it had aged a bit. Although housing prices in the Magic City were among the highest in the country, the people living here were not necessarily wealthy.
Fang Jian pressed the doorbell, and the door opened quickly. Aunt Liu was an attractive woman in her thirties, and her eyes lit up when she saw Fang Jian.
“Fang Jian, you finally arrived. Please come in quickly.”
“Aunt Liu, are there other people in the house?”
“Ah, no?”
Fang Jian hesitated for a moment and asked, “Aunt Liu, I remember that my mentor’s parents are also in the Magic City, right? Are they here?”
“They are here.”
“Do they know about my mentor’s situation?”
“They know. They are trying to find a way to get Lao Wang released on bail.”
Fang Jian smiled faintly and said, “That’s good. In any case, we need to bring him back home first.” He paused and continued, “Aunt Liu, let’s go.”
“Where are we going?”
“To bring our mentor back home.”
