The next day, I pretended to set off for the trip and left home.
I had no idea if I was imagining things, but I felt like it wasn’t just my wife. Even my parents-in-law seemed happy that I was leaving.
It was odd. Weren’t they usually eager for me to do all the household chores?
After all, once I left, they won’t have anyone to order around. They had to deal with it themselves.
However, I didn’t have time to dwell too much about it. I went outside and got into Wang Zhongtian’s car.
“Be mentally prepared. Don’t get too worked up later,” reminded Wang Zhongtian.
“Don’t worry, I won’t kill him. At least not in front of the police!” I gritted my teeth.
The police requested for me to cooperate with their investigation of Liu Wei’s crimes and asked me to meet them.
Ever since he took the money and vanished, the clients couldn’t find him. All of them looked for me instead.
I tried my best and returned a portion of the money. I ended up using all my savings, but it was still insufficient!
Almost every day, someone would call me to pay up.
There were even people who called me with death threats, sent emails to threaten me, and tried all sorts of methods to force me to return the money.
Now, the only solution was to find Liu Wei and take back the money he had taken!
When we arrived at the police station, the police arranged for me to meet Liu Wei alone.
“Zhang Teng, it’s been a long time.” Liu Wei didn’t feel guilty at all when he saw me. Instead, he was smiling!
I was furious. I stood up abruptly and wanted to flip the table to get to him!
The police officer in charge of supervising us quickly stopped me from what I was about to do and tried his best to persuade me against it. After a long time, I finally suppressed my anger and sat back down.
“You’re still so impulsive and willful,” Liu Wei said, clearly not afraid of me at all. He was still grinning. “You have to remember that being impulsive doesn’t solve anything.”
“Return the money back to me!” I hissed through gritted teeth.
“Since you came to see me, everything is negotiable except for the money. I’m sorry, I really can’t return it.” Liu Wei sighed dramatically. “It’s all gone… It’s my fault. Once I had the money, I lost it. I was set up and I fell for it!”
“Stop pretending!” I growled. “You couldn’t have spent all the money!”
“Not only did I spend it all, but I also have a debt of hundreds of thousands.” Liu Wei smiled bitterly. “If you don’t believe me, you can ask the police. They’ve checked. If I’m lying, you wouldn’t see me in such a dire state now. You can try and get the money, but the money is really gone!”
How could I possibly believe him? I was furious, but there was nothing I could do.
I knew clearly that this fellow would never cry until he saw death in front of him. As long as there was no concrete evidence, he would never admit defeat!
However, Wang Zhongtian didn’t manage to find any evidence against Liu Wei’s wife.
“Don’t be angry anymore. I’m very angry too! You have to know that not only am I in prison, but I’m also in debt. At least you don’t have to go to jail, right? You’re much more fortunate than me.” Liu Wei sighed sadly. “Your wife can still see you every day. My wife is the one who is suffering the most. She can’t even see me. She cried countless times. Sigh…”
“You’re still dreaming!” I was furious and blurted out, “Do you think your wife is really worried about you? Let me tell you, she is just waiting for you to be caught!”
“What?” Liu Wei was taken aback.
I was delighted to see his shocked reaction.
Unfortunately, my phone was temporarily confiscated by the police when I entered the room. Otherwise, if I showed him the video that Wang Zhongtian had recorded and sent me back then, his expression would definitely be even more interesting!
“Let me tell you something. I bumped into your wife yesterday and she was in an SUV with a man for almost an hour!” I gloated. “The windows are closed, and you can’t see what’s inside from the outside, so I naturally have no idea what happened inside. However, I wonder what two people can do in an hour in a secluded place? Were they simply chatting inside?”
“You’re lying!” Liu Wei was shocked and furious as he sat up ramrod straight.
If it weren’t for the fact that his hands were cuffed, I bet he would have rushed over and grabbed me by my collar right now.
“Hmph! Don’t you know if I’m lying to you?” I mocked. “Don’t you know better than me what kind of person your wife is?”
Liu Wei’s face turned pale as he clenched his fists.
I empathized with him.
This kind of situation was extremely detrimental to any normal man’s ego and pride!
