Chapter 349 I am now giving you this evidence.
7:30 p.m.
Inside the large house in Beichen Garden, the dining room was brightly lit.
The large solid wood dining table was laden with a dinner meticulously prepared by a top chef.
There was steamed grouper, braised abalone, and pork rib soup that was stewed until very tender; all of them were very fragrant.
Li Ze, Zhang Ruoran, and Li Mengli, a family of three, were already seated at the table.
Just as everyone was about to pick up their chopsticks...
The sound of the combination lock being unlocked came from the front door.
"Beep beep beep".
The door was pushed open, and Li Menghan walked in from outside.
He didn't even drive his red Ferrari today; he took a ride-hailing service home.
He looked extremely listless, like a wilted eggplant.
The confident posture I used to have when I walked with my back straight is completely gone now.
His shoulders were slumped, and his face was very pale.
He changed into slippers, and without even saying goodbye, walked towards his room with his head down.
"Menghan, where are you going? The food is ready, come wash your hands and eat!"
Seeing her son's absent-minded appearance, Zhang Ruoran immediately frowned and called out to him loudly.
Li Menghan stopped in his tracks and stood in the corridor without turning around.
His voice sounded very hoarse and somewhat weak:
"Mom, I don't want to eat. You guys eat. I'm going back to my room to sleep."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Ruoran became even more displeased.
She stood up, walked quickly to Li Menghan, and grabbed his arm.
"What's wrong with you today? You came back looking like this after being out all day."
"Did you run into some trouble outside? Or did someone bully you?"
"Tell Mom what's wrong, don't keep it to yourself!"
Li Menghan was being pulled by Zhang Ruoran, and he looked up.
His eyes were red.
He looked at Zhang Ruoran, opened his mouth, but didn't say anything.
The immense sense of frustration of being swindled out of more than 700 million yuan and watching helplessly as the swindlers went unpunished in court.
He simply didn't know how to bring it up with his mother.
He felt extremely ashamed.
at this time.
Li Mengli, sitting at the dining table, held a pair of chopsticks in her hand and gently tapped the edge of her bowl.
She looked at Li Menghan and spoke in a very direct tone:
"Mom, don't ask him anymore. He's probably just upset about things at work."
"He insisted on investing money in that AI big model project."
"I told him long ago that the senior named Wang Lei was a fraud, and that project was completely unreliable."
"Not only did he not listen to me, he also said I was meddling in other people's business."
Li Mengli pursed her lips and then said:
"Now look what happened! He probably lost all his money and got completely swindled."
"This is what they mean by not heeding the advice of elders, and then suffering the consequences."
Hearing Li Mengli reveal everything...
Zhang Ruoran was completely shocked.
She released Li Menghan's arm, looked at Li Mengli, and asked loudly:
"What company? What investment?"
"Meng Han, how much money did you actually give to others?"
Li Menghan lowered her head, biting her lip tightly, refusing to say a word.
Li Mengli answered for him:
"How much? Mom, this kid is really generous."
"He not only invested 20 million of his own pocket money, but later added another 500 million!"
"Over 700 million yuan in cash! Just like that, it was swindled away by a few fake contracts!"
"Over seven hundred million?!"
When Zhang Ruoran heard this number, she felt her heart skip a beat.
Although she knew that Li Ze was very rich and that he gave the children a lot of pocket money.
But that's over 700 million!
She used to work as a restaurant manager her whole life, and she couldn't even earn a fraction of that amount.
Now, his own son has casually handed him over to a swindler.
Zhang Ruoran was trembling with anger. She pointed at Li Menghan and shouted:
"Li Menghan! You've really gone mad!"
"You gave away so much money without even asking me?"
"Who do you think you are? You're just starting college, what do you know about investing?"
"You're just throwing money down the drain!"
After being scolded by her mother, Li Menghan's pent-up grievances and resentment suddenly erupted.
He raised his head, his eyes red, and loudly retorted:
"I didn't waste my time! I genuinely want to make something of myself!"
"And it's not like I did nothing! As soon as I realized something was wrong, I immediately hired a lawyer to sue him!"
"Our court hearing was this morning! I almost got him thrown in jail!"
Upon hearing that they had gone to court, Zhang Ruoran quickly asked:
"And what was the result? What was the judge's ruling?"
Li Menghan's voice immediately lowered, and he clenched his fists, saying with great pain:
"We lost the case."
"That bastard Wang Lei was well prepared; he forged a very sophisticated outsourcing contract."
"He transferred my money into several shell companies overseas."
"My lawyer said that we can't provide evidence that Wang Lei is the ultimate beneficiary of those overseas accounts."
"Therefore, the judge determined that there was insufficient evidence of fraud and released him in court."
As Li Menghan spoke, tears began to fall from her eyes:
"Mom, I really know I was wrong."
"I shouldn't have ignored your advice; I was too impulsive."
"Now the money is gone, and I can't even catch the scammer. I really don't know what to do."
Seeing her son crying so sadly, Zhang Ruoran's anger subsided considerably.
She sighed, walked over, and hugged Li Menghan.
"Alright, alright, stop crying. The money's gone, so be it. Consider it a lesson learned."
"As long as you're alright, that's all that matters."
Li Mengli was watching from the side, and she also stood up.
Although she usually enjoys bickering with her younger brother, she was very angry to see him being bullied like this.
She looked at Li Menghan and said:
"Brother, you really went too far this time."
"But don't worry, this matter can't be left like this."
"Although our family is wealthy, we're not going to let anyone take advantage of us. Since Wang Lei dared to cheat us out of our money, he has to pay the price."
Li Ze, who had been sitting at the head of the table, remained seated.
He watched this scene quietly.
He felt the timing was about right.
Li Menghan has suffered a profound blow this time, and he will never forget this lesson for the rest of his life.
Li Ze put down his teacup.
He stood up from his chair and slowly walked up to Li Menghan.
Li Ze looked at his son, whose face was covered in tears, and his expression remained very calm.
He reached out and patted Li Menghan on the shoulder, his tone very relaxed, showing no sign of anger.
"Alright, it's nothing, why are you so anxious?"
Li Ze looked at Li Menghan and said:
"Menghan, actually, although your business venture this time was a failure."
"But in my heart, I don't think you did anything completely wrong."
Upon hearing Li Ze's words, Zhang Ruoran, Li Mengli, and Li Menghan were all stunned.
They all looked at Li Ze with great surprise.
Li Menghan could hardly believe her ears:
"Dad? I've been scammed out of over 700 million yuan, and you're saying I didn't do anything wrong?"
Li Ze nodded and explained very seriously:
"yes."
"You want to venture out on your own and create your own career, which is something to be very encouraged."
"It's good that young people are energetic and driven."
"However, you made a mistake that most young people make."
"That means being too trusting of others, too eager for quick success, and lacking the most basic social experience and awareness of prevention."
Li Ze paused for a moment, then continued:
"Doing business is never a simple matter. It's a very complex and murky business."
"Some things you can only truly understand by experiencing them, by falling down, and by feeling the pain."
"Only then can you truly grow up and understand how society works."
"Consider this 700 million yuan as tuition I'm paying for you. As long as you learn from it and don't make the same mistake again, then this money will have been well spent."
Li Menghan listened to her father's words.
All the resentment and misunderstanding he had felt towards his father vanished in that instant.
He originally thought that his father looked down on him because he didn't give him money.
Now he understood that his father was educating him in a deeper way.
Li Menghan looked at Li Ze and nodded very forcefully:
"Dad, I understand. I will definitely be more careful in the future."
"But……"
Li Menghan gritted her teeth and said with great reluctance:
"But that Wang Lei, he's been released because of insufficient evidence. He's living a carefree life outside with my money, and I just can't swallow this!"
Li Ze smiled when he heard this.
He very naturally took his phone out of his pocket.
He tapped a few times on his phone.
Then, he held his phone screen up directly in front of Li Menghan.
"Who said he could live a carefree and happy life?"
Li Ze's voice became very confident, even carrying a hint of domineering:
"You just said you lack evidence to prove that Wang Lei is the ultimate beneficiary of those overseas accounts, right?"
Li Menghan looked at the photos and documents on Li Ze's phone screen.
His eyes widened instantly.
Those photos clearly show the bank transfer records from several overseas banks.
The recipient's name and account information all pointed to the same person—Wang Lei!
This is the most fatal and crucial core evidence!
Li Menghan was so excited that her hands were trembling.
He looked at Li Ze and shouted loudly:
"Dad! How...how did you get this evidence?"
Li Ze put his phone away and replied in a very relaxed tone:
"What do you think your dad does?"
"From the moment you transferred the money to him, my men had already thoroughly investigated his background."
"The fake accounts and overseas accounts these fraudsters made couldn't be hidden from my intelligence network at all."
Li Ze looked at Li Menghan and said very seriously:
"I'm now handing this evidence to you."
"Now you understand that doing business isn't that simple. So what you need to do now is clean up the mess you left behind."
"Take this evidence and go to the police station to file a report. Try to recover what you've already lost."
Upon hearing these words, Li Menghan felt as if he had been brought back to life.
His eyes were filled with fighting spirit and anger.
He clenched his fist tightly and nodded very firmly.
"Dad! Don't worry!"
"I'm going to the police station first thing tomorrow morning! I'm going to personally send that bastard Wang Lei to jail!"
"I'll get all that money back, not a single penny less!"
