Chapter 302: 【302】Trying to trick me? You’re still too green_1

“Gentlemen, I’ve just spoken with our manager, and the manager said he hopes you could settle the bill first,”

a waiter, returning to Tang Feng and Qi Tiande, said with an apology.

The restaurant was probably afraid they would skip out on the bill.

After all, each of them had ordered a meal worth over three hundred thousand, which wasn’t a small sum.

If they finished eating and dodged the bill, there would undoubtedly be quite a few disputes.

Tang Feng didn’t mind and stood up to go to the front desk to pay.

Qi Tiande hesitated for a moment but eventually had no choice but to stand up and follow.

After Tang Feng had paid, he didn’t immediately return to his seat; instead, he watched Qi Tiande use that bank card to pay.

“What are you looking at?” Qi Tiande glared back at him angrily.

At this point, he despised Tang Feng, blaming him for making him waste such a large sum of unwarranted money and preventing him from misappropriating public funds for the time being.

Tang Feng simply smiled faintly, turned, and returned to his seat, while taking out his phone to send a message to Lu Keke.

The message contained only two words, “Take action.”

About five minutes later, while the three were waiting for their gourmet dishes, they saw Lu Keke walk into the restaurant in uniform, followed by two men also dressed in uniform.

It must be said, she did possess a dashing aura when clad in uniform.

Under the astonished gazes of everyone in the restaurant, Lu Keke walked straight up to Qi Tiande, “Hello, you must be Qi Tiande?”

Seeing the three of them, Qi Tiande’s face turned ashen, “I… I’m Qi Tiande, who are… who are you?”

Lu Keke took out her badge and flashed it in front of him, “Hello, we’re from Zhonghai City Economic Crime Division. We suspect that you are involved in an overseas money laundering operation, and we’d like you to cooperate with our investigation.”

“Wow…”

The restaurant instantly erupted.

They had just been immersed in the scene of Tang Feng’s extravagant spending, only to be hit with another dramatic turn of events.

Exciting, indeed too exciting.

Qi Tiande was so scared that he turned pale, “Money laundering? Are you making a mistake? I am a law-abiding citizen.”

Lu Keke immediately scoffed, “According to our investigation, your account receives a large sum of money from abroad every month, which you then launder using live streaming platforms to make tips. Do you still deny it?”

Qi Tiande calmed down and snorted coldly, “I’ve partnered with some friends to start a company overseas. They transfer my share of the profits every month. Is there a problem with that?”

“What kind of company did you partner up to start?” Lu Keke pressed on.

“What’s it to you? If you’ve got the guts, go find out for yourselves,” Qi Tiande replied with confidence, certain that the law enforcement of Zhonghai couldn’t possibly conduct a cross-border investigation. What was there to fear?

“Then how do you explain your huge tips to streamers on the platform?” Lu Keke continued with her questioning.

“I enjoy watching live streams and tipping streamers, what’s wrong with that? Which law says it’s illegal to tip a streamer?” Qi Tiande argued, leaving little room for fault-finding.

“Still playing dumb, are you? Asking for a beating,” Lu Keke, who wasn’t known for her patience, was about to get physical.

Tang Feng hurriedly stood up to stop her, “Let’s talk this out nicely, there’s no need to get physical, right?”

Lu Keke could obviously sense the subtext in his words and gave him a sharp look.

Nevertheless, she afforded him some semblance of face and didn’t publicly fall out with him.

Tang Feng didn’t provoke her further and turned to Qi Tiande, “Flying Snail, right? Hello, I’m the Diving Squid.”

Qi Tiande looked at him with uncertainty, “Who exactly are you?”

“Can’t you tell? I’m also from the Economic Crime Division, assigned to investigate your money laundering case,” Tang Feng said, as he pulled out a Black Gold Card from Qianda Plaza, flashed it in front of him, and quickly put it away.

Qi Tiande was already shocked beyond words and didn’t notice anything amiss with his credentials.

Not just him, even Sally was stunned, murmuring to herself, “Economic Crime Division? What… what on earth is going on?”

The man who had just flaunted his wealth before her had suddenly turned into an Economic Crime Division agent?

“Qi Tiande, you can’t hide the truth. I advise you to come clean for a more lenient treatment,” Tang Feng sat across Qi Tiande, tapping his fingers lightly on the table.

“I don’t understand what you’re talking about. I’m a law-abiding citizen. If you have evidence that I’ve committed a crime, you can arrest me now. If not, please leave me alone, or I’ll sue you for harassing a law-abiding citizen.”

Qi Li had calculated that they didn’t have any evidence of his money laundering, hence his fearlessness.

Seeing that Qi Tiande was being obstinately uncooperative, Tang Feng sneered, “If we dared to come after you, we naturally have evidence against you. We just wanted to give you the opportunity to turn over a new leaf, I hope you cherish it.”

Qi Tiande looked up and laughed loudly, “Stop with your tricks meant for fooling three-year-olds. You think you can coax information out of me? You’re too green.”

Tang Feng stared intensely at him, as if engaging in a silent contest.

In truth, he had already activated his scanning system and Physiognomy Mastery.

Soon, he had amassed quite a bit of information.

“According to our research, the large amounts of money transferred to you from abroad aren’t your funds at all, they actually belong to Qin Lishen, right?”

At these words, Qi Tiande’s face underwent a visible change, his eyes revealing a hint of panic.

But he quickly covered it up, his mouth curling into a cold smile, though he kept silent.

Tang Feng didn’t wait for him to respond, continuing, “That money is probably the dirty profits he made from online gambling operations with partners in Northern Myanmar, isn’t it?”

This time Qi Tiande couldn’t maintain his composure, his face clearly showing panic.

The origin of this money was an absolute secret.

Qin Lishen had never discussed it with him; he had wormed it out of one of Qin Li’s close confidantes.

Now that Tang Feng had directly pinpointed the source of the money, it was evident he had uncovered a great deal of Qin Lishen’s secrets.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

His inner turmoil surged.

Since the Economic Crime Division had figured out the source of Qin Lishen’s funds, did it mean that Qin Lishen was no longer safe?
