Transmigrated into a female-oriented novel, and put an end to the domineering CEOs all over the city

On a street next to the Minghai branch of the Public Security Bureau.

Lu Jingxiu and Wang Yan were sitting on outdoor chairs outside a coffee shop.

Wang Yan wasn't wearing his police uniform today; he was in civilian clothes, holding a cup of coffee. He looked noticeably tired, but his overall mental state was surprisingly good.

Lu Jingxiu told him about Chu Nian's situation from beginning to end.

After listening, Wang Yan pondered for a few seconds before nodding: "Young Master Lu, the case you're talking about is, strictly speaking, a murder case."

We are now searching for Chu Shichang's body.

His voice wasn't loud, but it was clear: "However, we can only confirm his death once we actually find the body."

"The problem is that some people are now eager to kill Chu Shichang, eager to bring Chu Nian in, and eager to kick Chu Jin out."

Wang Yan put down his coffee cup and tapped the table: "This series of actions is the biggest evidence in itself."

He looked up at Lu Jingxiu.

Even without Lu Jingxiu explicitly stating it, he already knew what Young Master Lu wanted him to do at today's meeting.

Firstly, he was investigating Bo Xilai's case, and Chu Shichang's death was most likely related to those people as well; sooner or later, the two cases would be merged.

Secondly, Lu Shao also had another ulterior motive: he didn't want that illegitimate daughter who appeared out of nowhere to actually take over the Chu Group.

Emotionally, Lu Shao had helped him a lot, and Chu Jin was Lu Shao's friend. Logically, there were indeed problems with this case. Legally, forging documents to seize shares was definitely something that had to be done.

As for his future... it goes without saying who Young Master Lu is, and Wang Yan felt even more strongly that he had to help him with this.

Old Wang, he still wants to keep improving!

But how to help, and what grounds to use to file a case, that's the most important part.

Wang Yan thought for a while before slowly speaking:

"There's no doubt that Chu Nian's materials are problematic. The timing is too coincidental, the relevant documents are too complete, and the shareholders' meeting approval went too smoothly. With these three factors combined, there's enough grounds to file a case."

"But if you're going to suggest that I directly use 'Chu Shichang was murdered' as the case name and then freeze his assets in the name of the involved property... that line of thinking is a bit untenable procedurally."

Wang Yan was afraid that Lu Jingxiu would misunderstand, so he quickly explained it to him in detail:

"Young Master Lu, I understand what you mean. File a case based on its connection to the murder, then freeze the assets. It's quick, ruthless, and a one-step solution."

"But there's a major flaw here: Chu Shichang is still legally missing, not dead."

"We didn't find the body, so we can't issue a death certificate, and the court hasn't declared him dead."

"Under this premise, if I file a case as a murder case and then freeze his assets, the procuratorate will not approve it."

"They can just find some procedural flaw and revoke the freeze order, leaving us in an even more passive position."

Lu Jingxiu nodded after listening.

His experience in this area is certainly no match for that of veteran criminal investigators like Wang Yan, who deal with cases all day long.

Since Wang Yan said that this approach is unreliable, then it is most likely true.

"Captain Wang, what do you think we should do?" he asked.

Wang Yan smiled.

"Young Master Lu, you said Chu Nian used that set of documents to inherit the shares, but what if... there's something wrong with those documents themselves?"

"So we need to change our strategy."

He held up one finger: "Based on the three points I just mentioned, that's enough for me to file a case for 'suspected forgery of a will and fraud'."

"Under this cause of action, the equity and assets under Chu Shichang's name all fall under the subject matter of the case."

"I applied for the freeze in accordance with the law, with complete procedures and sufficient reasons. No one can find fault with it."

Wang Yan paused, then looked at Lu Jingxiu, his tone becoming serious: "At the same time, have Chu Jin immediately apply for civil preservation, and also freeze assets in court. Combat both criminal and civil matters at the same time, so that no assets can escape."

"Young Master Lu, if you trust me, then do as I say."

As he spoke, he patted Lu Jingxiu on the shoulder:

"I want to make this case airtight even more than you do, but an airtight case means that every step can withstand scrutiny from the prosecutor's office and the court, and that the other party cannot find any procedural loopholes at any step."

"Start by filing a fraud case, freeze the assets first, then investigate Chu Nian and the Bo family. Once all the evidence is put together, the murder case will come to light on its own."

"But if we insist on filing a case as a murder from the beginning, it may leave a loophole in the process. If that happens, the assets can't be frozen and the person can't be arrested. That would be a case of trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead."

Lu Jingxiu leaned back in his chair and slowly nodded.

Old Wang is indeed Old Wang; his thinking is truly shrewd.

He had to admit that although his previous idea seemed bold, it was not as reliable as Wang Yan's approach.

"Captain Wang, your strategy is still the most reliable." Lu Jingxiu smiled.

"Okay, we'll do it your way. I'll talk to Chu Jin and have her apply for civil preservation immediately. If you need any materials, just let me know."

He thought for a moment, then added, "Captain Wang, I've noted this down."

Wang Yan was taken aback, then smiled and waved his hand, his tone relaxed: "Hey, Young Master Lu, you're being too harsh."

"What do you mean by remembering or not? The case is right here, and Chu Nian's methods are indeed problematic. If I don't handle it, someone else will. You came to me because you trust me; that's not the point between us."

Lu Jingxiu didn't say anything more, he just nodded.

Both of them knew that the matter was now settled.

In fact, Lu Jingxiu didn't take Chu Nian too seriously. She was an illegitimate daughter who suddenly appeared, and there were too many coincidences surrounding her.

Even if we don't follow the proper procedures, we can just have Lao Wang bring her directly to the station and find a female detective to come over.

The case was solved in less than three days.

However, if we go through the proper procedures, not only will there be no worries, but it will also add another merit to Lao Wang's record, which is beneficial and harmless. The only downside is that it will be a little slower.

Old Wang acted quickly. He returned to the station, changed into his police uniform, gave a shout, and two police cars, one after the other with flashing lights, arrived at the Chu Group.

After coming to a stop, he turned on his body camera, adjusted his belt, and then got out of the car.

The receptionist was secretly scrolling through her phone when she saw several people in uniforms suddenly walk in, and she immediately straightened up.

Upon reaching the front desk, Wang Yan showed her his police badge and asked in a serious tone, "Where is Chu Nian from the Ba City Public Security Bureau's Criminal Investigation Team?"

The receptionist was completely dumbfounded.

Just now, Chu Jin, the legitimate daughter of the Chu family, has only been gone for a full hour, right?

Everyone in the company thought she had suffered a crushing defeat in today's high-level coup and had fled in disgrace.

The employee group chat was flooded with four or five hundred messages, including things like "When the times abandon you, they won't even say goodbye."

And then the other person immediately called the police?

No, lady, who ever calls the police when fighting over inheritance?

And judging from this situation, it doesn't seem like you can just call 110 and have two officers come and register your case and that's it.

Normally, a report of a crime would only bring in two police stations, but this time eight criminal police officers came all at once, each with eyes like they were about to arrest a fugitive. Anyone who didn't know better would think that Chu Nian had two or three murders on his hands.

"I didn't see her leave. She should still be in the CEO's office on the top floor." The receptionist's mind was racing with thoughts, but she was quite honest when she said it.

Old Wang nodded, his tone still businesslike: "Thank you for your cooperation."

After saying that, he turned around and waved his hand: "Proceed according to plan."

He led Lao Li toward the elevator, and the rest of the people immediately split into three groups: two guarding the front door, two guarding the back door, and two blocking the garage.

As the police officers quickly dispersed amidst the bewildered gazes of the many employees on the first floor, the receptionist finally couldn't resist. She lowered her head, picked up her phone, and began typing rapidly into the group chat.
