Rebirth 1983: Building My Business Empire

Nie Zhan, unaware of the laws in the Mainland, asked, "If this smuggling of goods is confirmed, what consequences will there be?"

Su Heyuan paused for a moment and then said, "If the evidence is conclusive, even my uncle won’t be able to intervene, and there might be a sentence."

If the matter had been suppressed immediately, there wouldn’t have been an issue. Now several people have been interrogated, and the testimonies are unfavorable to Lu Hongjun. Xie Kaixiao can no longer get involved.

Nie Zhan was silent for a moment, then said, "Based on your estimation, how many years might he be sentenced to?"

"I don’t know, it depends on the amount involved. If it’s a large amount, the sentence will be heavy; if it’s not much, compensating the amount could lead to a lighter sentence."

Nie Zhan nodded and said, "I understand."

Meanwhile, in the interrogation room, Guo Qinqin held a notebook while looking at Lu Hongjun, a mocking expression on her face: "You say you didn’t smuggle artifacts, but Li Sangu clearly noted here that he converted money into old objects for you."

After saying this, she began reading from the notebook: "This Child-delivering Guanyin is truly beautiful, pure white and crystal clear. The seller mentioned it was carved from a whole piece of Mutton-fat Jade by the best craftsman of the time. Such a fine piece, I really wanted to keep it as a family heirloom, but unfortunately, I already told President Lu it has to be given away."

Angry, Lu Hongjun internally cursed Li Sangu as a bastard for noting down the matter about the Child-delivering Guanyin, which was essentially a trap for him. The more he thought about it, the more furious he became, his blood boiling.

Seeing his expression, Guo Qinqin closed the notebook and said, "Now that the evidence is solid, no amount of denial will be useful. Lu Hongjun, resisting makes things worse while confessing may lighten the punishment. If you call Lu Jiaxin back and have her retrieve the national treasure, we can treat your case more leniently."
