Chen Xiazhi also hugged Chen Nan's arm with a face full of anxiety.
The boldest thing she had ever done in her life was to drop out of school behind her family's back to work and earn money, let alone the tax bureau telling her she was suspected of tax evasion.
"Team Lin, what happened?"
Sun Sihai had been observing Chen Nan's every move from upstairs. As soon as he saw the tax bureau people arrive, he rushed downstairs.
Lin Wei asked, "You know each other?"
"Mr. Chen is my benefactor," Sun Sihai didn't explain much.
Lin Wei understood and then looked at Chen Xiazhi, "You are the legal representative of Tianyou Media, right?"
Chen Xiazhi was bewildered, "I haven't heard of this Tianyou Media!"
Chen Nan asked politely, "Team Lin, is there some misunderstanding here?"
Lin Wei stared at Chen Xiazhi and asked, "Are you sure you don't know Luo Tianyou?"
Chen Xiazhi shivered, seemingly remembering something, a trace of fear flashing in her eyes. "I know Luo Tianyou... but I have nothing to do with Tianyou Media!" As she said this, tears streamed down her face, and her small body trembled.
Chen Nan grabbed her shoulders and quickly said, "Xia Zhi, what happened?"
"Brother, I just wanted to earn more money..."
Chen Xiazhi tearfully recounted the events.
Last year, she met Luo Tianyou at Fugui Renjia.
The man was a spendthrift boss who often dined at Fugui Renjia.
One day, Luo Tianyou learned of Chen Xiazhi's plight and expressed his sympathy.
He then offered her a part-time job.
He asked her to register a company and become the legal representative.
Chen Xiazhi had no idea of the responsibilities of becoming a legal representative, only thinking of earning two thousand yuan.
Now, she finally realized the harm this action had brought.
To put it bluntly, she had been framed and became Luo Tianyou's scapegoat.
Upon learning the truth, Chen Nan was enraged, never imagining that such a despicable and insidious person could exist.
Without further thought, he quickly turned to Lin Wei, "Captain Lin, how much tax did Tianyou Media evade? If this tax is paid, will my sister not have to go to jail?"
Lin Wei said, "Two hundred and eighty million!"
"Holy crap!" Sun Sihai exclaimed, "How can it be so much?"
Chen Xiazhi slumped in Chen Nan's arms.
Her heart was filled with despair!
Two hundred and eighty million?
She could never repay this amount in her lifetime!
Chen Nan's face turned ashen.
He could earn 300,000 yuan in a month to repay Zhang Hu, but 280 million yuan was an astronomical figure even for him.
Lin Wei sighed helplessly, "Brother Chen, we know your sister was framed, but she is the legal representative of Tianyou Media, and we have to find her. As for Luo Tianyou, we have tried to negotiate, but his attitude is firm; he told us to find the legal representative!"
Chen Nan was burning with anxiety, "Captain Lin, if my sister is sentenced in her situation, how long will it be?"
Lin Wei replied, "For a huge amount and exceeding thirty percent of the taxable income, it is punishable by three to seven years in prison, with fines. If the thirty percent cannot be paid, I estimate it will be at least ten years, or even life imprisonment!"
"Brother, I don't want to go to jail!" Chen Xiazhi cried.
"Don't worry, brother will save you," Chen Nan kept comforting her.
No matter what, he would not let Chen Xiazhi go to prison.
"Mr. Chen, please don't worry. I have some assets. I will contact people to sell them immediately. We must fill this hole no matter what!" Sun Sihai immediately took out his phone to sell his assets.
This guy truly committed when it mattered, willing to sacrifice everything.
Chen Nan's eyes were filled with ferocity, "The wronged have their debtors, and the wronged have their creditors. Why should we fill this hole?"
Sun Sihai was stunned.
Could Chen Nan be planning to demand money from Luo Tianyou to fill this hole?
That was the heir of the Luo family, a first-tier influential family in Jizhou. In terms of background and social connections, even Zhao Yuan couldn't compare.
Lin Wei said seriously, "Brother Chen, you only have seven days."
"If all taxes are paid within seven days, our tax bureau will definitely release your sister."
"But if the taxes cannot be paid within seven days, we will transfer the case to the judicial authorities, and the problem will be very serious then!"
Chen Nan also knew the penalties for tax evasion. For a first-time offender, as long as the taxes are paid and a fine is imposed, there will be no prison sentence.
Therefore, he now had a seven-day grace period.
Within seven days, Luo Tianyou had to cough up 280 million yuan, otherwise, once the case was transferred to the judicial authorities, no one could save Chen Xiazhi.
"Xia Zhi, don't be afraid. Go with them to the tax bureau first. Brother will definitely save you." Chen Nan tightly held Chen Xiazhi's hand, his heart aching.
All of this was because of him!
To prevent Chen Nan from worrying about her, Chen Xiazhi pretended to be strong and nodded, "I'm not afraid, not at all. I know brother will save me." With that, she ran to the tax bureau's car without looking back.
The moment she ran, a crystal tear fell on her face.
Although silent, Chen Nan's heart was broken.
Because he knew Chen Xiazhi's personality; she was afraid of new environments and afraid of sleeping alone!
"Zhao Yuan, Luo Tianyou, you are both the murderers who harmed my sister, I will not let either of you go!"
Chen Nan roared in his heart!
"Master Chen, what should we do now?"
Seeing the tax bureau's car drive away, Sun Sihai asked nervously.
Although the temperature outside reached thirty-five degrees, for some reason, he felt a chill all over his body when he was near Chen Nan.
His aura was too terrifying, even he could barely withstand it.
"First! Eat! Food!"
Chen Nan's eyes were bloodshot, and he uttered icy syllables.
Sun Sihai swallowed, "At a time like this, you can still calmly eat?"
Chen Nan was indeed not calm.
But.
Eating properly was something Wushan often said.
Even on his deathbed, Wushan's last advice to Chen Nan was to eat properly, even if the sky fell.
As for why... even though Chen Nan's cultivation had long surpassed Wushan's, he still didn't know the meaning of these four words.
"Tell me about Luo Tianyou's background!"
At the dinner table, Chen Nan spoke.
Sun Sihai quickly replied, "Jizhou is divided into six first-tier influential families and eight second-tier influential families. The Luo family is ranked second among the second-tier families."
"Although he is a second-generation rich like Zhao Yuan, Luo Tianyu has established several companies and is considered one of the outstanding figures among the younger generation in Jizhou."
"Furthermore, he has gathered a large number of martial artists under him. Xue Dalong is Luo Tianyou's capable subordinate."
"Eat. After eating, take me to meet Xue Dalong!"
Chen Nan's expression was blank.
Since Xue Dalong was Luo Tianyou's capable subordinate, he would first break his claws and teeth.
Just as they finished eating and were leaving the Fugui Renjia Hotel, dozens of people emerged from more than ten black vans in the distant parking lot.
Sun Sihai whispered, "Master Chen, the man leading them is Xue Dalong!"
A sinister smile appeared on Chen Nan's lips, "He's here to die, isn't he?"
