Chapter 387 Scared to tears

Thomas sat in the chair without saying a word. No matter what the police asked, he asked to wait for his lawyer to arrive first.

There were many people who were captured, and everyone else kept silent. Only the two younger brothers sent by Minh kept speaking Vietnamese.

They pretended not to know English or Mandarin, which gave the police a headache. They had no choice but to go to the police station to find someone who could speak Vietnamese.

At this moment, Thomas sat there expressionless, not looking panicked at all.

He is a thoughtful person. Before he did the rice-washing thing, he had already thought about the possibility of being caught. Especially after he was discovered by Crown last time when he opened a private casino in Doncaster, he became more and more careful in doing things.

Including the previous time when he sold fake cigarettes to Ouyang Ming, he was able to get away with it unscathed, and he felt that this time was no exception.

Why was he caught?
Could there be something wrong with the international students I brought here today?
Didn't I promise to give them a generous reward? They wouldn't betray me just because the money was too little.

I've already told Devin what to say and do if he gets caught. I'm sure he won't forget.

Just as Thomas thought, Devin indeed forgot to say it this time. He had committed crimes in Crown several times and had explained it to so many international students that he had forgotten whether he had mentioned the precautions.

It's okay, don't panic. I have found the most powerful Chinese lawyer who has helped many gangs to fight lawsuits. This matter will definitely not be difficult for him. You just have to pay a little more money.

Minh, that bastard, said that Crown has high-level protection. What kind of protection is that? I was taken to the police station.

Those guys just now were so scary, just like in the movies, they rushed in with guns drawn without saying a word. I'm not a terrorist.

It’s a pity that we are now under the police’s nose, otherwise I would have notified Minh by cell phone.

Thomas forced himself to calm down and think about the next countermeasures.

He had talked to a lawyer before and was told that as long as there was insufficient evidence, he would definitely not be sentenced. The money earned from laundering rice was not in his account, and he did not have a large amount of cash at home, so he would be fine.

Crown.

"Look carefully, this is your accomplice Thomas. He is now in the police station and has confessed everything. If you want to save yourself, you can only provide more useful information. Thomas is now saying that you are the ones who did the rice washing..." Ma Yueling took out her mobile phone and shook it in front of Devin. The person who appeared on the screen was Thomas. This was the photo sent from the police station.

Thomas was indeed arrested.

This woman is not bluffing!
It’s over.

The last bit of hope in Devin's heart disappeared, and he was thinking about what to say.

Would Thomas really blame them for everything?

If not, wouldn't he be making things worse if he spoke nonsense?

If Thomas really did this, and if he didn't confess, he would face Ma Yueling's revenge.

"Chen Xi, save me, I don't want to go to jail! Woo~" Li Yuqing, who was sitting on the ground, cried harder and harder.

Shi Tao's face was also frighteningly pale, which made Devin even more frightened.

Ma Yueling winked at Chen Xi. Chen Xi was slightly stunned, then he squatted down slightly while looking at Li Yuqing on the ground.

"Hey, stop crying. Now that it has happened, you should think about how to make amends. As the saying goes, those who confess will be treated leniently while those who resist will be treated severely. You can only have a glimmer of hope if you make amends. Tell us everything you know, and then you will be treated leniently in court..."

"Woo~"

After hearing this, Li Yuqing hugged Chen Xi and couldn't stop crying.

Chen Xi hugged Li Yuqing and thought about the times in his previous life when she had cried in his arms like this several times.

He still knew Li Yuqing. This woman would not do anything big, but she would do small things all the time. Usually, she would just take advantage of small things and make some small calculations.

If she knew the truth in advance, she would definitely not do something like washing rice.

“Okay, be good and tell me everything you know. There are people from Crown here. They just want to catch the mastermind. You are just being used as a gun…” Chen Xi wiped away Li Yuqing’s tears, then touched her head, trying to calm her down.

"It's all his fault. He made us do it. He first transferred money to our cards, then he came to the Crown account office to exchange chips, saying that it didn't matter whether we won or lost, and asked us to bet according to the arranged amount..." Li Yuqing pointed at Devin and said a lot of things. She hated this man now. It was all his fault, and she had to go to jail.

"Yes, it's him, and he has accomplices. There are several men who brought us here, and the other international students were also unaware of it..." Shi Tao immediately started to make up for it, trying to atone for his sins.

He also emphasized that there were other overseas students involved. Chinese people have a unique idea that the law does not punish the masses. Shi Tao felt that as long as there were enough people involved, small characters like them who were instructed by others would definitely not be sentenced to any serious crime.

Ma Yueling immediately had those foreign students separated and asked Li Yuqing, Shi Tao and Chen Xi to do ideological work on them. She then asked these people to testify against Thomas' accomplices. She then used threats and inducements to make them list the evidence of Thomas' crimes one by one.

After a long time, when Cole was still communicating with Minh, the door was suddenly pushed open.

Ma Yueling walked in with a smile, and Cole immediately perked up, pointing at her and yelling, "You stinky woman, I'm telling you, you'd better let me go right now, or the chairman will come and won't let you go!... Chairman... Chairman."

Cole was halfway through cursing when he suddenly saw Ma Yueling take a step to the side. A slightly plump foreigner appeared in front of him. It was Parker, the chairman of Crown Group.

When Kerr saw Parker coming, he rushed over as if he had seen a savior, crying about the treatment he had just suffered.

Then he pointed at the men in suits next to him and accused Ma Yueling of abusing her power and attempting to rebel.

Parker glared at Cole, feeling very complicated.

Parker was very angry that Cole had done something behind his back this time.

However, Cole was also involved in the rice-washing activities that he authorized.

If Cole were handed over to the police for conviction, his crimes might be exposed.

By the time all the official evidence and witnesses are available, he will definitely be in big trouble.

But someone has to take the blame for this incident. Ma Yueling is impossible. She is the one who caught Cole laundering money...

"Everyone else go out, you two stay." Parker pointed at Ma Yueling and Cole.

Soon there were only three people left in the room. Chen Xi was in another room, constantly comforting Li Yuqing and Shi Tao.

"Don't worry, I will discuss it with Crown..." Chen Xi pulled Li Yuqing and Shi Tao aside and said in a low voice.

"Chen Xi, even if I don't go to jail this time, I'm afraid I'll have to pay a fine. I don't have that much money... woo woo~"

"Yes, the amount between the two of us is over a million, and we can't even afford the fine."

The two of them looked at Chen Xi with sad faces.

"It's okay. How many people did Thomas find in the school to do this?" Chen Xi waved his hand and started asking about the business.

"A lot. I've probably found dozens of people in the past few months. I went there just because I saw they were all making money." Li Yuqing wiped away her tears. She saw that others were making money and she didn't invest any money, so she had to participate in such a good thing.

"I was dragged there by Li Yuqing. Anyway, I saw quite a few people participating, and I know a few friends who have also been there." Shi Tao glared at Li Yuqing, his eyes full of blame. If this woman hadn't dragged him here, he would probably still be playing games leisurely in the Internet cafe.

"Why are you glaring at me? I just want to help you get rich together! We are all from Jiangcheng, and fellow villagers should help fellow villagers!" Li Yuqing suddenly became righteous.

"You're saying fellow villagers help fellow villagers, but I think you're pitting fellow villagers against fellow villagers."

"How can you talk like that? My intentions were all good, I just ran into some bad luck." Li Yuqing felt very aggrieved.

In fact, she didn't dare to go alone, and she pulled Shi Tao over because there was a man there who could protect her if anything happened.

"Okay, send me the phone numbers and names of the people you know. If you have addresses, it would be best to include them as well." Chen Xi looked at the two of them and said solemnly.

"This is not good. The police will come looking for them, and I will be betraying others." Shi Tao looked embarrassed.

"Thomas has been arrested, as have his accomplices. These international students will be taken away sooner or later. Instead of doing that, we should find them first and let everyone testify against Thomas together..."

"Just listen to Chen Xi. Why are you talking so much?" Li Yuqing pushed Shi Tao and told him to do as she said.
