MTLNOVEL Chapter 710 Tax Evasion
Chen Buhui said, "This kind of thing is very common in the Beautiful Country, at most, Hong Wen will be the one in trouble, Hong Wu and I won't be affected."
Wang Xiaocong raised an eyebrow, "Are you planning to give up on your second son?"
Chen Buhui said indifferently, "It's not about giving up, it's just that he did something wrong and must bear the responsibility he ought to bear."
Wang Xiaocong sneered, "That's giving up, yet you speak as if it were so noble, you'd rather sacrifice your son than take a little risk yourself."
Chen Buhui said nonchalantly, "Say whatever you like, I won't accept your threats, to testify against the Brook Family would lead to an ugly death for me."
Wang Xiaocong gave a thumbs-up, "You're really ruthless, I never would have thought you'd make such a decision, to abandon even your own son. It's just that I don't know what your son would think."
At the end of his words, he looked toward Chen Hongwen.
Chen Hongwen's face underwent a series of changes, "I have nothing to say, if you want to send this video to Nolden and the mayor of New City, then go ahead, at worst I die, but you can't threaten my dad, that's impossible."
Wang Xiaocong said, "Your dad has already abandoned you, and you still defend him?"
Chen Hongwen said, "He already said, he isn't abandoning me, but allowing me to take the responsibility I need to take."
Wang Xiaocong sighed, "Why is it so hard to get your cooperation, but don't worry, this video is just the beginning, we have other videos."
Upon hearing this, the expressions of Chen Buhui and his sons turned ugly once again.
This was only the beginning, what more explosive videos could be following?
What are they about?
Wang Xiaocong began, "We know that you three are the legal persons of some entertainment cities, and we have found evidence of your tax evasion from these places."
What!
Hearing this, the faces of Chen Buhui and his sons showed shock.
In the Beautiful Country, tax evasion is as serious as drug trafficking in China.
The tax evasion by Chen Buhui and his sons had always been very covert.
After all, with Chen Hongwen, the lawyer, it was easy to conceal.
They thought no one could discover it.
But now Wang Xiaocong claimed they had committed tax evasion, which clearly indicated he had found something.
Chen Buhui refused to admit it, and angrily said, "Don't slander us, when have we ever committed tax evasion?"
Wang Xiaocong sighed, "Sect Leader Chen, why don't you consider that if I had no evidence, would I say it out loud? At this point, you're still so stubborn, I really don't understand you. There's even more video on the computer, I can open it for you to watch."
So, Wang Xiaocong opened a video on the computer. Enjoy more content from My Virtual Library Empire
This video was named by Wang Xiaocong as "Shocking! Senior members of the Hong Clan guilty of tax evasion, is it the collapse of morality or the distortion of human nature?"
It was still clickbait, very much in the style of Chinese internet marketers.
Xu Yang and the others all had strange expressions on their faces.
What do tax evasion, the collapse of morality, and the distortion of human nature have to do with each other?
Living in the Beautiful Country, Chen Buhui and his sons naturally did not know to what extent Chinese internet clickbait could go to.
This title left them somewhat puzzled.
However, as puzzled as they were, what they wanted to see most was the content of the video.
In the video, there were several tax investigators who, after more than half a year of investigation, had obtained evidence of tax evasion committed by the three of them.

But after watching the video, the three members of the Chen Buhui family let out a sigh of relief.
Chen Buhui said, "These are just suspicions that we have evaded taxes, nothing more. They can't convict us on that."
Wang Xiaocong scoffed and said, "Indeed, these suspicions can't lead to a conviction, but with such suspicions on top of the issues with Hong Wen and the Brook Family's wife, and the mayor's wife of New City, do you think the mayor won't investigate you thoroughly? The moment someone investigates you, all the dirty deeds you three have done will be uncovered.
Do you doubt the capability of the tax authority and police in this beautiful country? Think about the consequences if all your actions are exposed."
Upon hearing this, the faces of the three Chen Buhui family members turned pale.
This was not an exaggeration; if the truth came to light.
The mayor of New City certainly wouldn't let them off.
It would absolutely be fatal.
Wang Xiaocong knew the time was ripe.
However, Wang Xiaocong had one more document to show to the three members of the Chen family.
The document was titled "Shocking! Evidence of Tax Evasion at the Highest Levels of Hongmen—Simply Astounding!"
"Take a look," Wang Xiaocong prompted Chen Buhui to read the document.
Upon examining it, Chen Buhui suddenly screamed, "How is this possible? How could you possibly find something so well-hidden!"
The ledgers were real.
They were penned by the three members of the Chen family themselves.
Normally, these ledgers were kept in a safe and were only taken out for bookkeeping.
Wang Xiaocong chuckled and said, "Chen hall master, while you didn't use the internet for your accounting, you've forgotten that your computers were on when you did your bookkeeping, and so were your mobile phones. As I mentioned earlier, Xu Yang is quite skilled with computers. Getting these wasn't difficult."
Angrily, Chen Buhui shouted, "This is illegal hacking; I will sue you!"
Wang Xiaocong sneered, "If you want to sue, then by all means go ahead. We're not concerned. But at this point, you're thinking about suing us instead of how to get out of this mess. I must say, I have overestimated you.
Just consider, once the ledger is exposed, not to mention your son Hong Wen's romantic escapades, you're not likely to have a pleasant time in prison—you probably won't sit through your sentence comfortably. It's very likely that you'll be taken care of by Nolden and the mayor of New City."
These words finally broke through the Chen family's psychological defenses.
"Ah!"
Suddenly, Chen Buhui flew into a rage, grabbed his laptop, smashed it on the ground, and viciously stomped on it several times.
As a top-level expert, he turned the laptop into an unrecognizable mess.
Wang Xiaocong said somewhat speechlessly, "Chen hall master, it's nearly 2024. Do you really think destroying this computer will do anything?"
Chen Buhui knew it was futile, but he was just too furious and used the computer as a tool for venting his anger.
Liu Qiangxi spoke up, "Chen hall master, we need your answer. Are you willing to testify?"
That was the purpose of today's meeting, and it should not be forgotten. Now that the evidence had been revealed, there was no need to waste more time.
Chen Buhui's face was filled with bitterness. "Do I even have a choice?"
"Good," Liu Qiangxi nodded. "Rest assured, we are even more eager to destroy the Brook Family than you are. All the problems you're worried about, we'll take care of them. For example, we will negotiate with the Brook Family's enemies and forces to take action. The Brook Family will be completely eliminated, so you don't have to worry about their retaliation."
Chen Buhui said, "I hope so."
Liu Qiangxi continued, "Additionally, the rights to the artificial intelligence companionship agency for two states, as we promised, will be yours."
Chen Buhui bitterly said, "Even with these agency rights, my situation won't improve much. After all this, we three will have to leave Hongmen."
Liu Qiangxi said, "Leaving Hongmen may not be such a bad thing. Your situation is not as bad as you imagine. First of all, the agency rights for the two states will compensate for your income at Hongmen. And it's not like we won't have the chance to collaborate in the future. Who knows, you might do even better and establish a grand Chinese family in this beautiful country, right?"
