Chapter 263 A Great Victory
Ah Hu's NPC team is tracking more clues around the world, following the hints given by Zhou Chengjing.
What Zhou Chengjing needs is not just a superficial punishment, but solid evidence that can completely destroy the political-business alliance and its big boss.
Her NPC team is adept at navigating the gray areas.
This team has strong execution capabilities, excellent teamwork, and can execute tasks precisely when instructed. Moreover, they are highly professional.
Without a strong family background, it would be completely impossible to cultivate such a powerful team.
With Zhou Chengjing's intelligence, the powerful combination and clear division of labor made the investigation exceptionally fast.
Just as Zhou Chengjing said, he was in the light, while she was in the dark.
As a CEO in the entertainment industry, Bai Li's identity is quite appealing, making it difficult for anyone to associate such a well-trained team with her.
Bai Li's personal mobile phone was constantly receiving encrypted information—offshore account details from the Cayman Islands, insider information about the drug regulatory agency's approval processes, and copies of emails detailing the security agency's irregularities—all converging on her database through various channels.
“Miss, Zhou’s money laundering network in Switzerland has been dismantled.” Ah Hu handed the chain of evidence to Bai Li. “They transferred profits through Hengchang Bio’s patent licensing, involving more than 100 million yuan. These encrypted emails contain voice recordings between the director of the State Drug Administration and core members of Zhou’s group.”
Bai Li casually forwarded the attached evidence to Zhou Chengjing.
A few days later, at the court hearing, Luo's father stood in the dock, listening incredulously as the judge read out the not-guilty verdict.
"In accordance with Article 30 of the Anti-Unfair Competition Law and Article 397 of the Criminal Law, all charges against Luo's Pharmaceuticals are hereby revoked, and Mr. Luo Mingxiu is hereby released without charge, with his criminal record cleared."
At this point, Zhou Chengjing had fulfilled the first condition he had promised Bai Li.
Subsequently, the investigation team he personally assembled presented dozens of key pieces of evidence in court, including but not limited to logistics monitoring of Jinling Pharmaceutical replacing the submitted samples, abnormal transfer records in the account of Chen's wife's cousin, and system logs showing Zhou's manipulation of the drug administration bureau to modify test reports.
The entire courtroom was in shock.
The case took a dramatic turn, with two levels of reversal.
The forces involved are all members of the political party team trusted by Li Haidong, and have intricate connections with him.
Even Li Haidong is now panicking.
In fact, before Zhou Chengjing formed the investigation team, he had already been destroying evidence bit by bit.
After hearing about Zhou Chengjing's special investigation team, he went even further to clean up his own reputation.
Meanwhile, they kept a close watch on the investigation progress with Zhou Chengjing, but they didn't expect him to find out so much.
Before the court hearing that day.
Li Haidong had actually prepared his "escape" route in advance.
One was guilty, and the other was afraid of Zhou Chengjing; he had no idea what kind of evidence Zhou Chengjing possessed.
However, Li Haidong apparently did not escape successfully.
While watching the news at home, Bai Li suddenly saw the news of Li Haidong's resignation.
With Li Haidong already removed from office, the network of powerful figures who depended on him naturally disintegrated.
Besides the Chen family and Zhou family, who had received special treatment because of Bai Li and Zhou Chengjing's previous instructions, dozens of other large and small forces also fell from power.
The day after the verdict was handed down, the family members jointly filed an appeal.
Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse.
After all, it was a matter of life and death for the family, so they put in all their effort, hiring the best lawyers in the country and using all available resources to open up channels at all levels.
Most of them successfully obtained some form of probation, except for the Chen and Zhou families, whose original sentences remained unchanged.
What terrified them even more was that their once unimpeded network of connections in both political and business circles suddenly failed—all the "relatives and friends" who had received favors from them were now avoiding them.
In the end, after much difficulty and effort, and with the help of many connections, both families were able to indirectly obtain Zhou Chengjing's name.
When Zhou Chengjing's name was mentioned, both families were stunned.
Why don't they remember ever offending this "living Yama"?
After asking around, the answers I finally got were vague and ambiguous.
"It's not me they've offended, it's a friend of mine who's come to me for help. They should go home and ask their own children if they've ever offended someone they shouldn't have."
But at least they got Zhou Chengjing's exact words, and both families counted the numbers with their own children overnight.
The funny thing is that the child has offended so many people that it took a long time to list them all.
Eventually, they dug up old grievances all the way to Luonan, and suddenly remembered what happened in the Emerald Kingdom half a year ago.
Only now have they realized that the woman they hadn't paid attention to back then actually had such a background.
But by the time they realized it, it was too late.
—Former State Security Bureau Director Chen Liyuan sentenced to 15 years in prison for bribery and abuse of power.
—"Core members of the Zhou Group are under investigation"
At this point, Zhou Chengjing had fulfilled the second condition he had agreed to for Bai Li.
At the same time, Bai Li received news that Zhou Chengjing had been promoted again.
On the screen, Zhou Chengjing, dressed in a sharp suit, smiled and delivered a speech in front of the camera, proposing a reform plan for pharmaceutical regulation.
Bai Li: ...
Someone has won a resounding victory.
Wasn't that awesome?
Everything had settled down. Bai Li tossed the "top secret" document into the shredder and looked up at the calendar on her desk.
She was surprised to find that only half a month had passed since she met Zhou Chengjing that day.
Does the power structure change this quickly?
Or is it simply because of Zhou Chengjing that things are changing so rapidly?
Bai Li already had the answer in her heart; she felt it should be the latter.
There are countless strategists in the world, but Zhou Chengjing is definitely one of the best.
In the past two weeks, Bai Li has also experienced what it means to have "power over the court." It was exhilarating, but also incredibly dangerous.
