The crackdown on organized crime began with the arrest of the mother-in-law.

Chapter 644 Zhao Tianlai's refusal to confess worked?

When interrogating Zhao Tianlai, Qin Chuan only stayed in the interrogation room for a short while, glanced at Zhao Tianlai, and then left.

As for the other party wanting to hire a lawyer, Qin Chuan and his team certainly wouldn't stop them.

No matter what crime Zhao Tianlai committed, they will definitely act in accordance with the regulations to protect the legitimate rights and interests of the other party.

Regarding the video of Zhao Tianlai committing murder, under current Chinese law and past judgments, once this video exists, Zhao Tianlai is practically guaranteed to never be released.

As for whether there are any witnesses on Ergunzi's side, it would be best if there were, but even if there aren't, it won't have much of an impact.

For Qin Chuan, Zhao Tianlai was merely a stepping stone in his investigation of Yuanfang Financial Group. Qin Chuan's true target was not Zhao Tianlai, but Gao Yun and the people behind him.

Zhao Tianlai has now been arrested, and Qin Chuan has already examined him in the name of his crimes after meeting him.

In fact, Qin Chuan's ability is quite abnormal; once a criminal suspect appears in front of him, there is no way he can escape his keen eyes.

Zhao Tianlai thought that if he could hold on and buy time, there wouldn't be any problems. He believed that Gao Yun and the people behind him wouldn't give up on him.

Of course, Zhao Tianlai's thinking wasn't wrong. Gao Yun wouldn't abandon Zhao Tianlai without a certain level of confidence behind him, but the situation had already changed. Gao Yuan, Li Qiang, and their backers had reached an agreement and made a decision: they would abandon Zhao Tianlai, sacrificing him to preserve the entire Yuanfang Financial Group.

Soon, Zhao Tianlai met with his lawyer.

“I did not commit murder. They used a surveillance video that they got from who-knows-where to frame me for murder. I feel this is a huge insult to me. I hope your group will take every possible measure to bail me out.”

Zhao Tianlai knew very well that the lawyer who came to see him was sent by Gao Yun, and everything he said today could be relayed to Gao Yuan through the lawyer.

Although Zhao Tianlai was able to meet with his lawyer, their conversations were always overheard, making it impossible for Zhao Tianlai and his lawyer to be alone together and collude on their behalf.

Zhao Tianlai was also quite careful when he spoke.

The lawyer shook his head.

"Mr. Zhao, I'm sorry, but the evidence the police have is very unfavorable to you. As for the group... when I arrived, Mr. Li asked me to pass on a message to you."

"He's going to the United States on a business trip soon, and he said he really likes a red villa in the suburbs of Maria."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Tianlai's expression changed drastically!

"You... are shameless!"

The lawyer mentioned a red villa that others might not know, but Zhao Tianlai knew very well that his son and daughter were in that villa. Since Li Qiang had gone there, there was no doubt that the other party was threatening him.

"Before I left, Mr. Gao specifically instructed us to fully cooperate with the police. He was very disappointed with your actions, Mr. Zhao, but also stated that Yuanfang Financial Group and your personal affairs have nothing to do with any of your personal crimes. Yuanfang Financial Group will fully cooperate with the police in searching for evidence."

"Mr. Gao said you would understand what he meant."

That concluded the meeting.

Zhao Tianlai's face turned ashen.

He knew he had been abandoned.

Gao Yun and Li Qiang not only abandoned him, but also threatened him with his own children.

Moreover, Zhao Tianlan understood what the lawyer meant: they had not only abandoned her, but also wanted her to take the blame for all the past crimes of the financial group.

In other words, the other party wanted to sacrifice themselves in exchange for the safe landing of the financial group.

Zhao Tianlai could be said to have spent his whole life hunting eagles, but he never expected that in the end, retribution would fall on his own head.

Murdering wives and children, and even the wives and daughters of her master—these were all Zhao Tianlan's specialties in the past. She never imagined that she herself would one day be threatened.

How to do?

Are we really just going to sit here and wait to die?
