I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property

"This sleeping face really makes it easy for someone to commit a crime!" Zhang Menglong covered Lu Yiyao's exposed leg with a blanket.

Perhaps because she was too exhausted, Lu Yiyao fell sound asleep singing in Zhang Menglong's room last night. Zhang Menglong didn't do anything disgraceful; the room was spacious enough, so he just slept on the couch all night.

"I really don't want to go back so soon," Zhang Menglong said reluctantly as he glanced at Lu Yiyao. He could have asked Hong Yi to handle Sun Yulei's matter for him, but after all, Sun Yulei had been his roommate for over three years. If he didn't deal with it personally, Zhang Menglong wouldn't feel at ease.

Zhang Menglong tiptoed out of the room, washed up, and the breakfast that had been delivered was now on the dining table. But because he wasn't in a good mood, he didn't eat much. He instructed Cao Yushan to take good care of Lu Yiyao's daily life and then left Gusu directly.

By the time he got back to Jiangnan City, it was already past 10 a.m. With no patience to make a trip home, he headed straight for Sun Yulei's company, Nas Holdings.

...

"College students these days really lack integrity, even an intern dares to take bribes from other companies!"

"What can you do? After all, it's a hundred thousand yuan. The salary of these ordinary undergraduates might not even add up to that number after two years of work. Even if it were me, I might not be able to refuse."

"I don't know how such a person has the face to return to the company!"

"Exactly, the company has lost a full 20 million yuan because of this, and our year-end bonuses might go down the drain. It's all because of this shameless bastard."

"Right, which school did he come from again? Talk to our HR department and tell them not to hire from that school in the future. Schools shape the kind of students they graduate."

"Makes sense."

...

Hearing the gossip of the colleagues around him, Sun Yulei clenched his teeth to keep himself from erupting.

He couldn't understand for the life of him why he, doing well in the company, suddenly ran into such a predicament.

The hundred thousand yuan was temporarily transferred to his account by a supplier he had approached not long ago. At the time, his project manager told him the company's corporate account was experiencing some issues and that the finance department staff was resolving it. So they asked him to temporarily accept the money—only later did he realize it was a conspiracy by his manager from the start!

Just how much his manager took as a kickback, only he himself knew.

As for those fabricated messages on his computer, Sun Yulei was completely oblivious to them; he had become a sacrificial lamb in a transaction of interests!

Yet, Sun Yulei had no evidence to prove his innocence. He was just an intern. Being introverted and not having close relationships with colleagues, nobody was willing to help him in such circumstances. They all hurried to keep their distance, fearing they would get dragged down with him.

Just yesterday, the company's legal department had already prepared a litigation letter with two solutions for him, and today, the police had come to the company to gather evidence, all of which was highly incriminating against Sun Yulei.

To prevent Sun Yulei from fleeing, they even had someone watch his rented accommodation the night before, making him feel like a criminal whose freedom had already been restricted.

He didn't dare tell anyone about this, especially his parents. Sun Yulei was Tibetan and his family made a living by herding on the grasslands, not earning much in a year, barely making a modest living.

If it were a few hundred thousand, his family might be able to scrape it together, but 20 million was absolutely impossible.

But he was at his wit's end. It was only when Xu Li called him out for dinner yesterday that he told him about the situation, which led to Xu Li seeking out Zhang Menglong.

"A promising student with a bright future ahead, why take a risk like this?" a police officer muttered to himself as he took notes.

"I told you, I didn't do it!" Sun Yulei said, lowering his head.

"Then show us the evidence!" a woman from the company's legal department said, "Right now, you can't even explain the extra hundred thousand yuan in your account. The police have already investigated your household registration. Your family's income is only a little more than 50,000 yuan a year, and that sum of money was transferred in one go!"

"Alright, young man, you better start thinking of a way to come up with that money fast. If you end up inside, it's going to have a big impact on you." The officer's attitude was still quite good; in fact, he was puzzled. Although he had only started dealing with Sun Yulei yesterday, Sun Yulei's character didn't seem like that of someone who would do such a thing.

"Officer, you've also investigated their family's situation. Forget 20 million, even 200 thousand would be a stretch for them. We should really resolve this matter quickly!" At this point, Sun Yulei's supervisor, Wu Yun, walked over, his face showing a semblance of regret.

"Ah, Yulei, I always thought you were a capable and ambitious young man. I had planned to groom you well, but this thing you've done has really disappointed me!"

"Wu Yun!" Sun Yulei glared furiously at Wu Yun. When he had discussed that sum of money with the police, Wu Yun had flatly denied any connection to it, and there wasn't a trace of Wu Yun's involvement in the account transactions. At that moment, Sun Yulei was certain that he had been sacrificed by his own supervisor.

"I won't let you get away with this!"

A mocking glint flashed deep in Wu Yun's eyes. What would a greenhorn fresh out of school know? Wasn't he just a pawn for him to manipulate?

"Sigh!" Wu Yun heaved a heavy sigh. "Yulei, I know your family isn't well-off and that you want to make a life in Jiangnan City and urgently need money in the short term, but you didn't have to go about it this way. What am I supposed to say about you, eh..."

"Excuse me, I hate to interrupt!" a young voice came from the company's corridor.

"Who is that?" Everyone's attention was drawn.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

A young man in his early twenties with a stern expression on his face walked over, followed by two middle-aged men in suits.

"Who are you?" the police officer asked.

"Good day, officers. I am Sun Yulei's roommate. He's been accused of taking bribes and causing the company losses. Now I've helped him find two lawyers for his defense, which should be within the rules, right?"

"Are you that Zhang... Zhang Menglong?" The young officer recognized Zhang Menglong immediately.

"Zhang Menglong? The one who's so popular online?"

"I know him, his Weibo account has tens of millions of followers now!"

"If it's on his Weibo, he can have as many followers as he wants!"

"He's actually Sun Yulei's roommate?"

"Damn, with a roommate that capable, why would he do something like this?"

"I suddenly feel like there's something fishy here. Zhang Menglong is always so generous to others, wouldn't he take extra care of his own roommate?"

"Exactly, he could afford his roommate a lifetime of wealth just by letting a little slip through his fingers, so why take a risk with something like this?"

"This is getting interesting. I suddenly feel like we're going to see a good show very soon."

"Mr. Zhang, seeking lawyers for your roommate is your right, but the current evidence seems to be very much against him." The officer said cautiously.

"I've heard, Yulei took bribes and sold the company's information?" Zhang Menglong asked deliberately.

"Yes," Sun Yulei's manager Wu Yun stepped forward. "That money is in his account. How do you explain that?"

"Hahaha!" Zhang Menglong laughed exaggeratedly. "A bribe of a hundred thousand yuan? Who are we trying to insult here?"
