Toni's eyes gleamed with fanaticism. "It's time to try out the Spider Web System, Mengchuan."
Chen Mengchuan met his gaze. After a moment's thought, he nodded.
"Achen, activate the Spider Web System. Gather all negative news about Yuehua Group across the entire internet and analyze every negative incident within it."
A few seconds later, the screen lit up and an interface appeared. Achen said, "Spider Web System activated. Please wait..."
"Collection complete. There are approximately 170,000 negative reports related to Yuehua Group over the past decade. After analyzing the people, events, times, locations, and objects involved, they have been compiled into 713 incidents."
Chen Mengchuan nodded and continued, "Keep analyzing. Focus on all incidents involving Zhao Dongyou and rank them according to severity."
"Analysis complete. There are 76 incidents involving Zhao Dongyou. The eight most serious have been ranked."
On XX/XX/XXXX, Zhao Dongyou ** and murdered Moonlight Nightclub waitress Su Xiaoqing, then staged it as an accidental fall from a building. Authenticity assessment: 91.50%.
On XX/XX/XXXX, Zhao Dongyou illegally imprisoned Moonlight Nightclub waitress Su Yue, eventually torturing her to death and causing her disappearance. There is a 71.21% probability that she was buried outside the southern wall of Zhao Dongyou's villa compound.
"Beast!" Toni coldly adjusted his glasses.
"That damned bastard..." Chen Mengchuan and Zhao Wanyu were both furious.
"Achen, activate the Spider Web System. Search the entire internet for all of Zhao Dongyou's speech records and collect his voice data," Chen Mengchuan said coldly.
"Understood. This will take some time," Achen said.
Chen Mengchuan nodded. He had only wanted to find out whether Zhao Dongyou had any dirty history that could be used as leverage in a deal. He had never expected Achen's search to uncover so many utterly depraved acts.
About two minutes later, Achen announced, "Voice collection complete."
"Collect data from the nearest third-party telecom base stations around official regulatory and inspection departments in Su Province. Use Zhao Dongyou's phone number as the caller ID, create a confession recording, and mass-send it to the phones of relevant law enforcement personnel in Su Province," Chen Mengchuan said coldly.
"Confession recording created. I am Zhao Dongyou. I am here to surrender myself. On XX/XX/XXXX, I ** Moonlight Nightclub waitress Su Xiaoqing, then forged it into a fall-from-a-building accident. I regret it deeply. I want to turn myself in. Between XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, I also imprisoned Moonlight Nightclub waitress Su Yue, eventually tortured her to death, and buried her outside the wall of the southern section of my villa. I regret it deeply. I should never have committed such depraved acts. I recorded these words because I want to surrender..." Achen played the confession recording created entirely from Zhao Dongyou's voice data.
Zhao Wanyu covered her mouth, her face filled with boundless shock. "Was this really synthesized? It sounds exactly like him speaking!"
Chen Mengchuan nodded.
"It was edited and synthesized using his real voice data in the first place." Toni adjusted his glasses as he answered Zhao Wanyu.
"Base station information collection complete. Send?" Achen's voice sounded.
Chen Mengchuan and Toni exchanged a glance, then nodded and said in unison, "Send!"
"Transmission complete," Achen said calmly.
At the relevant regulatory and procuratorial departments in Su Province, the phones of thirty-two people either vibrated or rang at almost the same time. Once they answered, they immediately heard a man say, "I am Zhao Dongyou. I am here to surrender myself. On XX/XX/XXXX, I ** Moonlight Nightclub waitress Su Xiaoqing..."
That same recording instantly caused a massive uproar among Su Province's relevant departments. After listening to Zhao Dongyou's confession, Jiang Yingrong, a female prosecutor over fifty, gritted her teeth in fury and nearly smashed her phone onto the floor. She picked up her landline and called the technical department.
"Immediately investigate a man named Zhao Dongyou. His phone number is 1388*******. Notify me as soon as you're done!" After hanging up, Jiang Yingrong rose with a grim expression. It felt as if a nameless fire were constantly burning within her. ** murdering women, fabricating incidents, imprisoning women and burying them alive—such utterly conscienceless acts were intolerable to her for even a moment.
The Su Province Procuratorate was highly efficient, and Jiang Yingrong soon received a call from the technical department.
"The suspect is a major shareholder of Yuehua Group?... Others received his confession call too?... When did they receive it?... Understood. Immediately approve an investigation order and search warrant. Begin excavation and a search outside the southern section of the suspect's villa at once...!" Jiang Yingrong swiftly issued order after order.
Before long, technicians located Zhao Dongyou at Yuehua Group's Su City branch. One police car after another rapidly surrounded the branch office building.
The suddenly arriving criminal investigators quickly secured floor after floor. They then presented the search warrant and investigation order before arresting Zhao Dongyou.
Professional criminal investigators dispatched to Zhao Dongyou's villa compound soon found traces of excavation and burial while surveying outside the southern wall. They quickly dug up a patch of wasteland and discovered an unidentified female corpse.
The confirmation of the corpse immediately established Zhao Dongyou as the prime suspect. With the evidence conclusive, Zhao Dongyou finally spoke the truth. Several horrifying cases were uncovered, and the various accidents he had meticulously fabricated back then were exposed one by one.
It was as though a meteor had crashed into the calm waters of Su City's real estate circle, stirring up towering waves.
The moment Zhao Wanyu's father, Yuehua Group chairman Zhao Qinghua, received the news, public opinion had already nearly driven them into a dead end. After taking several deep breaths, he ordered all shareholders to be summoned for an emergency meeting. The company then officially released the criminal investigation authorities' findings, apologized to the public at once, condemned Zhao Dongyou, and announced that Yuehua Group would apologize to and compensate the families of all victims.
A little after nine that night, Chen Mengchuan received a call from Zhao Qinghua. He was willing to transfer the parcel of land south of Tianzhi Electronics to Tianzhi Electronics. Chen Mengchuan was equally straightforward, purchasing the parcel at the previously agreed final price—50% above market value.
The two sides signed the contract that very night. The land payment would be made in three installments: 15% upfront, 70% for the second payment, and the final 15% after the transfer was completed.
Thus, Tianzhi Electronics smoothly acquired a large tract of wasteland to its south.
In Su City Industrial Park.
Chen Mengchuan, who had worked overtime until late into the night, looked solemnly at the others and slowly said, "Brother Xu, Brother Sun, these are the key points of Tianzhi's cooperation with Huaxia Electric Grid. Whether we succeed depends on you tomorrow."
Xu Shuwei and Sun Zhongyong exchanged grave looks, then nodded together.
All three chapters are up. There will be another update after midnight.
