Mr Gu s First Doting Marriage - Chapter 539

Chapter 539: Chapter 540: Who was the Mastermind Behind the Scenes?

Ma Jianguo began, “Speaking of this matter, I’ve been perplexed over the years. In reality, I’ve never met Tan Zhen. However, I was blindsided and fooled that year. Faced with twenty million, I was tempted. The other party actually wanted me to secretly handle a huge amount of money through the bank procedures, in essence, to launder money. I operated some procedures stealthily, not expecting to entrap myself.”

“So, you’ve never met my mother? Who gave you that twenty million?”

“My then secretary handled all these things. However, after the incident exploded, he disappeared without a trace and remains missing to this day. This makes me feel even more that this was a well-designed trap by someone, but I don’t know if their target was me or Tan Zhen.”

Xia Yangyang had long suspected this.

Because of this, Xia Yangyang believed that everything was carefully designed by Gu Mingzhu.

Even Gu Shengyuan might have known. Because only the Gu Family has the power and influence to withstand the multiple doubts and complications without anyone daring to thoroughly investigate.

But over the years, Xia Yangyang has discovered some new clues.

Especially through Zhao Xin, Xia Yangyang knew that Liu Ruyan and her father were also involved.

If Liu Ruyan was involved, things would become much more complicated.

Xia Yangyang asked, “So, have you ever heard of this woman, Liu Ruyan?”

Ma Jianguo shook his head, “I don’t seem to have any impression.”

Xia Yangyang mulled over it.

Ma Jianguo said, “What’s past is past. Now, I’ve paid a heavy price for what happened that year. I’m out now, and I just want to live the rest of my life in peace. No matter who you are, I’ve said today what needs to be said. I hope you won’t disturb me in the future.”

Ma Jianguo was about to leave with his dog.

Xia Yangyang intercepted, “If someone really planted you intentionally that year and made you spend fifteen years in prison, would you be okay with that? Don’t you want to know who that person is? Maybe they are living comfortably now, enjoying their wealth, even if you were confused at that time. But if others didn’t deliberately plot against you, you wouldn’t have wasted the best years of your life behind the high walls.”

Ma Jianguo seemed to be moved by her words.

Ma Jianguo turned back around, “If you want to find out the truth, I won’t object. I still have the remittance slips from that year. The money was remitted to a Swiss bank account back then and was later seized. However, there was actually one sum of money, five million, which wasn’t located. According to their rules, if no one claims that money in twenty years, anyone who has the remittance slip can take the money along with the original and interest according to the exchange rate. Moreover, this money must be withdrawn within a certain period after twenty years, and the information should be kept confidential; otherwise, it will be returned the same way, and the identity of the account holder back then will be made public by the system. If the old case is brought up again, it will be very dangerous. The person who set me up back then wouldn’t be so stupid, so they will definitely withdraw the money within that period.”

Xia Yangyang had a vague idea of what Ma Jianguo meant.

Ma Jianguo said directly, “That is to say, whoever has the remittance slip for the five million from that Swiss bank is the one who was pulling the strings behind the scenes.”

Xia Yangyang didn’t expect to have such an unexpected gain.

Things have become much simpler now.

Over the past four years, Xia Yangyang had always suspected that Liu Ruyan was involved in the past incident or had manipulated things behind the scenes.

Now, they just needed to confirm whether the remittance slip was with Liu Ruyan or Gu Mingzhu, and everything would become clear.
