Chapter 441: Meet

Those who were called for this meeting were all elite members of the FBI. At this time, after hearing that Guo Dazhuang had also died, this group of people finally took things seriously.

After all, even if the previous death of Zheng Jian could be attributed to his guilt and Chen Chen’s way with words, when people around Chen Chen were dying one after another, there was a problem.

“Are there any autopsy reports?”

Someone suddenly asked in a deep voice.

“Yes, the cause of Guo Dazhuang’s death was very normal, namely, a large amount of internal bleeding caused by the impact, which led to death in shock.”

The speaker replied, “Whether it was the surveillance feed or the dashcam of the vehicle that caused the accident, it all indicates that Guo Dazhuang was hit and killed when he was crossing the road, so this incident was classified as a very ordinary traffic accident. If not for the rise of Chen Chen now, which prompted us to begin looking through the old files, no one would even think that this person’s death was related to Chen Chen.”

“Are there any surveillance videos available? Play them.”

The man with a beard asked immediately. In their business, it was all about the chain of evidence. In the absence of evidence, even if there was a faint suspicion in their hearts, no one would immediately say it aloud.

“Yes, we’ve gotten it ready.”

The speaker double-clicked the video on the desktop of the computer and suddenly, everything that was recorded in the video was shown.

The display showed a few storefronts on the screen. There was a sidewalk and under the sidewalk, there was a lot of traffic. It seemed to be during the peak period of people getting off work.

Soon, a man in a suit and leather shoes walked out of a store. His pace was slow and he seemed a little unstable. He lowered his head almost all the way and walked toward the middle of the road without saying a word.

Immediately after crossing the road barrier, an SUV did not have time to brake and slammed into him, sending him flying...

The man in the video flew over ten meters away like a gunny sack, then slid across the ground for several meters, and stopped moving completely.

When the video was over, everyone looked at each other, all wearing confounded expressions.

“Was he drunk?”

The gray-haired investigator Old Li asked.

“No.”

The speaker immediately replied, “In the autopsy report, there was no evidence of alcohol or caffeine in the body of the deceased, but he did walk out of a coffee shop at that time.”

“Then besides Chen Chen, who else was sitting with him?”

“The others were all talents in the IT industry.”

The speaker pushed back her black-rimmed glasses and replied, “These people have each invested in 2% of the dividend stock of the first software developed by Chen Chen. This time, they had become angel investors of Blacklight Biotechnology. Except for the dead Guo Dazhuang, the rest of them invested 10 million yuan and in the following three months, Facebook bought the exclusive right to use the software, and they received nearly 600 million yuan in return.”

“The software you mentioned is Little X Translation Assistant?”

Old Li was suddenly stunned. When Facebook bought the right to use this software at a price of 26 billion, many people were talking about it.

“Ten million to 600 million in only three months. Heh, why didn’t that happen to me?”

The tone of the man with the beard was a little bit sour.

“The main point, Brother Zhou, is that you don’t have that 10 million.”

Someone joked suddenly and for a while, the conference room was filled with laughter.

“Ahem!”

The director coughed. He knew they were getting distracted, so he had to lead them back to the topic again. “Did you notice? Chen Chen met these people and asked them to invest, but Guo Dazhuang went out and was killed by a car. There may be something fishy about this.”

“The autopsy report said that the deceased had no caffeine or other residues of beverages in his stomach. Can it be assumed that he did not drink coffee after entering the coffee shop?”

The bearded man responded solemnly, “In other words, he was being wary, knowing that someone was plotting against him?”

“This is indeed a possibility.”

Old Li said, “Can we summon these people? Ask them what happened at the time, whether Chen Chen had a conflict with the deceased when he was alive, how did they know each other, and who was the waiter at the store at that time? These are all suspicious points that can be investigated.”

“It’s difficult.”

Their director sighed. “After all, it has been four years and since it was an ordinary traffic accident at the time, no one thought about it at all. The waiter in that store has long vanished. As for the investors, we have information on them too. We know all about their shady activities. Although these people are all successful figures in the IT industry, they are all hackers in private.”

“Hackers?”

Everyone was suddenly taken aback. “Then it makes sense. Chen Chen must have been involved in the hacker world!”

“That’s right.”

Everyone agreed on this point.

“However, because of their identities, it’s difficult for us to get useful information out of them.”

Their director continued. “Someone has been sent to contact these people, but these people are all tight-lipped and they insist that nothing happened that day.”

“Then this case is very difficult to investigate...”

Everyone turned contemplative.

“This is the second abnormal death case related to Chen Chen and then there’s the third case...”

At this point, the speaker continued saying.

“There’s more?”

Everyone was flabbergasted.

“Yes, the third incident happened three years ago, but this time, it has nothing to do with Chen Chen because at that time, he had left China and gone to the African Continent to set up his company.”

The speaker said slowly, “The third case related to him occurred at the headquarters of Blacklight Biotechnology. At that time, five foreigners of Chinese descent fell from the headquarters of Blacklight Biotechnology. After identity verification, these five people were all found to be mercenaries who had been illegal armed personnel, but as for who did it, there’s still no answer.”

“It seems to be an international trifle.”

Old Li muttered, “But it seems that Chen Chen has indeed been very restless since he began making his fortune.”

“Then, the fourth and last case.”

The speaker nodded and continued. “The fourth incident occurred during the previous Chinese New Year. This time, the deceased was Chen Chen’s second uncle and aunt.”

When she mentioned this, the speaker looked a little mystified. “In short, there was a little family conflict. Because of Chen Chen’s fortune, the two deceased kept going to Chen Chen’s parents to borrow money. Eventually, things escalated into a physical conflict, but shortly afterward, the two were hit and killed by a truck of unknown origin.”

While she spoke, the speaker played another video. In the video, a truck slammed into and overturned a white car, then backed up a certain distance, and crashed into the car a second time.

In the end, the battered white car was smashed into a ball of fire.

“This is too much.”

The bearded man frowned. “He’d even kill his relatives. This Chen Chen has no regard for the law at all.”

“Don’t say that.”

The director quickly reminded. “There’s no evidence that Chen Chen did this. Chen Chen has a complete alibi and he took the initiative to go to the local police station to make a report, saying that a foreign spy had been threatening him.”

“Spy?”

“Yes and according to the evidence he provided, the local branch of the Investigation Bureau found several spies from the East China Sea Continent.”

The director sighed. “So, Chen Chen was perfectly exonerated at that time.”

“The last case can be said to be very obvious. The only thing missing is a piece of evidence.”

Old Li lit a cigarette and said in a deep voice, “How can there be such a coincidence? They were hit and killed on the road as soon as they clashed with him. It’s true that he wasn’t present at this incident, but based on his current net worth, there would be no need to do it himself.”

“So, we have to find the driver who drove this truck at the time.”

The bearded man replied, “Director, has that person been found?”

“No, they’ve vanished completely.”

The director shook his head. “Gone without a trace as if they had never existed in this world.”

Hearing this, everyone fell into silence for a while.

“By the way, what do you have in mind by asking us to investigate Chen Chen’s past?”

After some mulling, the bearded man suddenly said, “Are you going to get rid of him?”

“I’m guessing it’s just to see if there’s anything we can use in negotiations.”

The director waved his hand and said gravely, “Now, he’s very important to our superiors. After all, you should’ve heard that although this person is from China and the headquarters of Blacklight Biotechnology is also here with us, the real core is in Africa. It’s not easy for our superiors to control him.”

Everyone was speechless, especially the bearded man whose face darkened like a cloud. “So, this suspect will just be left alone?”

“Of course not!”

The director’s heart was thumping. He knew that his subordinate’s bad temper was surfacing again, so he quickly said, “Why would we do that? It’s just that we don’t have evidence. Otherwise, why should we investigate him? If there’s evidence, of course, our superiors will not just ignore him and he’ll be brought to justice.”

“Okay, leave this case to me.”

Hearing this, the bearded man immediately stood up. “I’ll investigate this private corporation case until the truth comes to light!”

With that, he left the conference room directly.

“Zhou Hao, Zhou Hao?”

At this, the director yelled a few times. Seeing that the other party was not coming back, he waved his hand and ended the meeting.

After everyone had left, he reported to his superiors, in a rather troubled mood, what happened in the meeting just now.

“Yes, this is our analysis. Chen Chen may indeed be connected to these cases...

“Yes, I’ll keep a close eye on things!

“Yes, yes...”

After making a hundred promises, he finally hung up the phone, but immediately broke into a bitter smile.

He had long heard that Blacklight Biotechnology had entered the military industry. Not only that, but it had also promoted its military products in a high-profile manner to the Earth Federation headquarters. He heard that those products had attracted the attention of all continents, including China.

Therefore, there was an order to suddenly dig up these old incidents, but it was only because the higher-ups regarded these things as a bargaining chip that could be used to purchase weapons in the future.

As for the ones who died, maybe someday when Chen Chen fell off his pedestal, then that would be the day when the superiors held him accountable.

The director who had already seen through all this shook his head and sighed. As the last one to leave the meeting place, he slowly closed the door of the conference room.

...

Following that, nothing happened. Chen Chen still maintained a peaceful life until the entire Spring Festival was over.

However, Chen Chen was very wary of the gleaming eyes that gradually appeared around him. Obviously, behind these people were sent by the authorities.

At this time, Chen Chen also knew that the authorities had begun investigating his past and many things had been revealed.

“I see.”

Hearing Little X’s report, Chen Chen nodded and said, “It’s normal for the authorities to take precautions against me, but I didn’t expect them to sit tight for so long. They haven’t visited me yet.”

“They’re probably still looking for a chance.”

Little X teased. “It’s just that these poor federal investigators have spent the New Year still having to work... By the way, Sir Godfather, Cheng Cao will soon return from Zhongzhou. He’s seized Zhang Heng and is bringing him back by the highway. He’ll be able to reach Handu soon.”

“Let Cao take that person to the nearby village, don’t come into the city. After all, I have more eyes around me recently.”

Chen Chen thought for a while and said, “Ask Cao to hide him well. I’ll meet this sc*mbag in person later.”

At this point, Chen Chen could not help but feel a little vexed. After all, after Chen Zheng asked for Chen Shan’s opinion, the result was that Chen Shan was willing to forgive the sc*mbag for the sake of the baby and she hoped that the sc*mbag could return to her.

If this were not the case, Cheng Cao would not have abducted that guy for this long journey, but instead drowned him in some river in Zhongzhou. As for the one million that was swindled, Chen Chen did not even intend to get it back. It might as well be that guy’s travel expenses for his journey to the gates of hell.

After that, as the evening approached, Chen Chen swaggered out of his parents’ house with a group of bodyguards, got into a car, and started driving around the city.

After driving a few laps, when he got out of the car, Chen Chen had been replaced by a stand-in. This stand-in did not look like Chen Chen, but his body shape was somewhat similar. Surrounded by bodyguards, the stand-in walked into a high-end hotel.

At this time, the real Chen Chen was already sitting in another van, slowly driving toward the suburbs.

It was not until nine o’clock at night that Chen Chen came to Cheng Cao’s hiding place. He pushed the door and entered, and saw that it was a courtyard-shaped building with a huge yard. The innermost room was lit up, with faintly flickering human shadows.

It seemed that Cheng Cao had heard Chen Chen’s movements outside the door and he cautiously opened the door of the back room. He sighed in relief when he saw that it was Chen Chen. “Boss, I’m happy to report that I’ve brought the man back for you.”

With that, he pointed to a trussed-up man in the room who had a bloody nose and swollen face.

From the looks of it, it was Zhang Heng.

At this time, the man was gagged with a rag. After seeing Chen Chen, he immediately whimpered, looking very frightened.

Still, Chen Chen did not waste time saying nonsense. He just waved his hand at the two men behind and they immediately stepped forward and lifted Zhang Heng onto the bed. One of them opened a medical box, preparing to start an operation on their captive.

The operation was very simple. Chen Chen already knew how to perform it four years ago. It was the simplest operation to implant a God chip.
