I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property

The more Wu Yun understood the net worth and assets of Sun Yulei, the darker his complexion became. If he had known earlier about Sun Yulei's status, he must have been out of his mind to have chosen him to be the scapegoat!

As to whether the scapegoat now was himself or Sun Yulei, that was already unclear.

"So, Mr. Police Officer, you can clearly understand just how vast Mr. Sun's assets are," the butler said. "For someone to accuse Mr. Sun of accepting a bribe of one hundred thousand yuan is simply a joke, I even feel it's an insult to Mr. Sun!"

"By the way, Mr. Police Officer, may I ask who is bringing the lawsuit?"

"Oh, it's the legal department of Nas Holdings, suing in the name of the company, not an individual." the officer replied.

"Alright," the lawyer took out a legal letter, "Then, in addition to defending my client Mr. Sun against these baseless charges, we also wish to sue Nas Holdings!"

"What?" The officer was taken aback. What was going on? Sun Yulei was clearly the defendant, yet now he was also suing Nas Holdings, "Are you suing them on charges of defamation?"

After some thought, the officer could probably figure out their intent. The wealthier the people are, the bigger their tempers! Alright, you're accusing me of bribery? Now it's my turn to retaliate - I'll sue you for defamation!

"No, Mr. Officer, you misunderstand, we're not suing for defamation."

"Then what are you..."

"We're now suing Nas Holdings for the crime of insult."

"What? The crime of insult? When did our company insult you?" After the legal affairs manager reassured himself that during the two days of the conference and in interactions with Sun Yulei, he hadn't used any excessive or insulting language, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Sun is a billionaire. To accuse him of taking a bribe of 100,000 is not an insult then what is?" the lawyer spoke righteously. "If it were said he took a bribe of 10 million, that could be somewhat acceptable, 1 million would be a mild insult, but 100,000, that's a grave insult. We will demand justice from the company based on the degree of insult."

"What kind of monster is this!" The legal affairs director of Nas Holdings completely lost his composure. This was the first time he had ever heard someone claim that being accused of accepting a bribe of 100,000 was a grave insult!

If such an insult really existed, he wished it could rain down on his face every day, all year round, every hour, nonstop!

He truly desired such an insult!

Have the rich of today really reached such a level?

"This... Yulei, let's reconsider this matter; I have a feeling there's something fishy about it!" The head of legal began to panic. Although the lawsuit sounded utterly absurd, and even Sun Yulei himself had been sued.

But judging from their current attitude, it was impossible for Sun Yulei to have done such a thing. With his family's resources, resolving this lawsuit might not be too difficult if Sun Yulei was innocent.

But then, it would spell trouble for Nas Holdings.

If they really lost the lawsuit, they could end up becoming a laughingstock in all of Huaxia! Explore hidden tales at empiren/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Mr. Officer, if you don't think this is sufficient to prove Mr. Sun's assets, then I can take you to see his other 27 properties in Jiangnan City, which include 12 villas, 14 large flats, and an entire neighborhood."

"No... no need..." Today's revelations were likely to overturn the officer's worldview of over twenty years. It turned out that in the eyes of the wealthy, a bribe amounting to 100,000 yuan was merely an insult; their properties in a single city would at least be in the double digits, and they even used neighborhoods as units.

And this was just in Jiangnan City!

He now believed that this young man did indeed own more than half of the pastures and livestock in Inner Mongolia!

"Excuse me, I need to step away for a moment," a lawyer suddenly received a phone call and stepped a few paces away from the crowd, but judging from his gradually brightening smile, it seemed likely that he had some good news.

"Lawyer Xu, judging by your expression, you must have found some favorable evidence, right?"

"Yes, Mr. Zhang," Lawyer Xu said, "I've just conducted a preliminary investigation into our client Mr. Sun's assets and stumbled upon an interesting find. In Nas Group, Mr. Sun holds 52.9% of the shares, meaning that Mr. Sun is the chairman of Nas Group!"

"What? How come I didn't know about this?" Sun Yulei couldn't control himself and suddenly jumped up from the couch.

"Heh, Mr. Sun, I'm afraid even you might not know how much assets you possess," the lawyer said, "Mr. Sun, may I use your printer here?"

"The printer is in the study on the second floor, let me take you there." The butler escorted Lawyer Xu upstairs.

Soon, he came back down holding a stack of thick papers, "These are just photocopies, the formal share certificates and documents will be delivered shortly."

Lawyer Xu continued, "Mr. Sun, your father had acquired these shares several years ago and transferred them to your name. However, since you were still studying at the time, a professional manager was hired to handle the company's affairs."

"My father?"

Sun Yulei glanced over and saw Zhang Menglong's eyes twitching as though about to spasm, his face also displaying a look of "Daddy is very pleased."

"You thieving dog! Even at this time, you don't forget to take advantage of me!" It was obvious that this so-called "father" must be none other than Zhang Menglong! If he could acquire a company like Weibo, purchasing a Nas Group worth just over a billion US dollars would be a mere flick of his hand.

"So now I think this matter should be quite clear!" Lawyer Xu placed the stack of documents on the table, "I believe anyone with a sane mind would not do such things to their own company, right? Lose 20 million for the sake of 100 thousand? That makes no sense, does it?"

"But no matter what, the fact that his account mysteriously increased by 100 thousand is still true, right?" At this point, Wu Yun finally couldn't hold back and interjected. If he couldn't bring down Sun Yulei, the investigation might soon trace back to him.

Wu Yun was sure that Sun Yulei must have already started to suspect him. Although he thought he was impeccable in his actions, no horse is foolproof; he couldn't guarantee he hadn't left any trace. If Sun Yulei started an all-out investigation, Wu Yun could be in big trouble!

"I do recall there being a crime called possession of unexplained property, right?"

"Are you out of your mind?" Zhang Menglong retorted sharply, "Have you not studied law? Do you know what possession of unexplained property is? First of all, he's not a civil servant! Secondly, it must be an amount vastly exceeding legal income, does this petty cash amount to a vast sum?"

"Petty cash... to think he calls 100 thousand 'petty cash'…" Even as the legal affairs director of Nas Group, it would probably take half a year to earn that 100 thousand.

"Besides, if you really want to go by that logic, then I should also look into your unexplained wealth!"

"Me?" Wu Yun scoffed, his benefits hadn't reached his account yet, so how could there be any significant unexplained wealth?

"Don't look at me with that face," Zhang Menglong said, "Right now there's no large sum of unexplained property, but soon there will be!"

"What do you mean?"

At that moment, Wu Yun's phone vibrated.

"Dear customer, your bank account has received 100000000..."

"Officer!" Wu Yun was still dazed when Zhang Menglong snatched his phone, "I'm now reporting that Wu Yun has received a hefty sum of unexplained wealth!"
