1061 Perplexed and Smitten 121 (2/2)

She seemed to have noticed that something had gone wrong upon seeing the grave expression on her boyfriend's face.

The male owner interjected, \”Xiao Wu, just what did you do? When you received that email back then, you should have just ignored it. Things have become so serious… Had I known earlier, I wouldn't have allowed you to stay over at my place.\”

\”I absolutely regret it now too. Can you keep this a secret, please?\”

\”I won't speak of it to others, but this shall be the end of our friendship. I really can't stand your lack of morals. I'm strangely disturbed by what happened to Ms. An's bodyguard. I was the one who gave you the chance to commit the act. Although I had no idea what you were planning, I'm partly to blame too.\” He stood up and left together with his wife, hand in hand.

Once they were outside, the mistress hugged her husband and said, \”I really didn't expect them to be such immoral people. So much for being kind and allowing them to stay with us instead of staying at a hotel. Hubby, you were right to end our friendship with them. Let's not keep in touch with such people.\”

\”Yes, I hope Ms. An's bodyguard can return safely.\”

\”I hope so too.\”

An Xiaoning initially planned to have lunch at Sanqiao Estate. However, she decided not to waste time having lunch, for the longer she waited, the more disadvantageous it would be for No. 8.

Since the bank was closed in the afternoon, she had no choice but to contact the manager of the branch.

She gave him the name and bank account details, as well as the time of transfer, according to what Xiao Wu said. The bank personnel then showed her the footages of the surveillance cameras.

Since the transfer was made at the bank and not online, the sender must have transferred it via the automatic teller machine or through the bank teller at the counter.

However, transfers above five million dollars could only be made at the counter with the help of the bank tellers. On top of that, the sender must also bring along his or her personal identification card.

Clearly, the sender had transferred the money via the counter.

The footages showed a man donning a pair of shades, which he then removed upon the request of the bank teller. Although he had only taken them off for less than twenty seconds, his face had been captured by the surveillance cameras.

Soon, the police managed to find more details based on the bank account information as well as the screenshot of the footage.

An Xiaoning immediately proceeded to arrest the culprit together with Ma Jianguo before she even had lunch.

They arrested Qian Mou, who was having lunch at a hotel at the time.

\”Where do we bring him?\”

\”Who are you?\” Qian Mou asked, feigning ignorance.

Standing near the metal barrier, An Xiaoning said with a smirk, \”Are you feigning ignorance? Qian Mou, I know you have a backer to save you, and you people are experts at threatening others with money. But don't forget, I'm also great at threatening others, and that's a tactic that I also enjoy using. Old Ma, I don't feel like interrogating him here.\”
