Yi Zheng fixed his eyes on him, then nodded in understanding, "You deliberately let yourself get arrested. What do you want to do? Going fishing?"
[Fishing- Wiktionary– (figuratively) to gain by improper means.]
"Yeah, I want to see what demons and monsters come out of the woodwork when I'm in trouble. I plan to clean everything up when I get out, so I need to give them time to rebel."
"Be careful not to destroy your ZHOU while you have fun."
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. And even if ZHOU goes bankrupt, I can rebuild a more powerful ZHOU in minutes." Zhou Yun Sheng flipped the hair that had fallen onto his forehead, his attitude unconcerned.
Yi Zheng adored his arrogant little prince look, he pressed him into the wall for a few more minutes of kissing, then pinched his jaw and told him, "Just come to me when you need help. You have to know, I'll always be your pillar. When you get out, we'll officially date on the premise of marriage. America has already recognized the legitimacy of gay marriage."
He stared at the younger man in a very oppressive way, expressing his unwillingness to accept his refusal.
Zhou Yun Sheng smiled happily and nodded, "I saw the news too. At that time, I'd wanted to invite you to fly to the U.S to register, but you wouldn't answer my calls."
The last trace of gloom on Yi Zheng's face completely disappeared, he caressed the younger man's cheeks, kissed him again, then said in a hoarse voice, "Baby, you know, I also fell for you at first sight. I'll wait for you to get out."
After dawdling for more than an hour, Yi Zheng walked out of the interrogation room radiating happiness, ignoring the younger detective's strange look.
The younger detective's heart had almost collapsed. Seeing the man roughhouse Zhou Yun Sheng, he'd thought that the man had a full sense of justice, who would've guessed that the two would suddenly start making out, and in such an extremely spicy way.
"Don't you know that Zhou Yun Sheng is a fucking rapist? That scum deserves your love?" He rushed after the man's back and roared.
"In the absence of definite evidence, Zhou Yun Sheng is only a suspect, not a criminal. You should pay attention to the things you speak out-loud detective, I have the right to sue you for defamation." Yi Zheng said without turning his head.
His two bodyguards glared at the detective with cold eyes.

Under the impetus of conscientious people, the social impact of this incident was very vile. The internet was flooded with shouts to severely punish the rich second generation, so if the police showed even a small hint of favoritism, they would be interrogated and abused by the masses. The red skirt woman was interviewed by the media, where she boldly described the painful memories of that period, making the public outrage grow stronger.
Unsurprisingly, Zhou Yun Sheng was detained as a criminal, during which Zhou mother came to see him, she walked in with a dazed expression, then walked out looking frightfully calm. She didn't do anything illegal, not approaching the woman to settle in private, nor trying to bribe the investigators.
ZHOU Tech was affected by the scandal and the stock began to dive. Following the sudden withdrawal of a major shareholder, a new company was founded, and most of the elite employees of the R & D department were head hunted, including Meng Wan.
The company that Fang Zhifei founded became the partner of the major shareholder's company, and he proposed the purchase of the game's copyright in light of ZHOU's shortage in capital.
The stock fell to the limit, all the talent was hunted, and the core tech and the clients were snatched away, one blow after another pushed ZHOU towards collapse. If there was no large injection of capital, ZHOU would face bankruptcy. Zhou mother considered things for a few days, then decided to sell the game's copyright, but she set it at a sky high price of 50 million, making the looter Fang Zhifei explode in anger.
"50 million, how dare she!"
"The game's development cost the company nearly 30 million, her 50 million asking price is not exaggerated. I'll continue sending people to talk to her, if she doesn't budge, I plan to buy it myself. I feel very optimistic about this game's potential." The shareholder lit a cigar, then continued, "We already have an agreement, your share in the company is equal to how much money you spend on the copyright. If you can't afford a penny, I can only count your skills as investment, and at most, I can only give you 15%."
15%? Would you even give that to a beggar? But in order to get a large slice of this cake, Fang Zhifei had to agree to the shareholder's harsh conditions. He said gloomily, "Tell me a good price, I'll make sure to get the money."
Once out of the new company's building, he immediately called Fang Kunpeng.
"Dad, I need 25 million immediately, do you have it?"
"Where would I have 25 million!"
"Then sell the shares Zhou Tang gave you. With that money, I can get a 50% stake in the new company, then we'll make it back twice over as soon as the game hits the market."
Fang Kunpeng considered it for a moment, then nodded, "Then I'll contact the broker. I'll tell you the news when I get it."
Fang Zhifei was relieved, he said his love to his father and hung up.
Fang Kunpeng stared at the phone's blank screen and smiled. This was his darling son, Zhou Yun Sheng was the true bastard.
Zhou mother, who had installed a monitoring software in his cell phone, took off her headphones and sneered. Nurturing for decades, in the end she only raised a thankless wretch, fortunately her son was clever, recognizing this animal for what he was a long time ago.
She dialed her secretary and asked him to find an agent to buy Fang Kunpeng's shares at the lowest price. Finally, she called the shareholder that had betrayed the company, saying that she would raise the price to 80 million. The other side was angry enough to almost vomit blood.
The two sides began negotiations. After getting her son's promise, Zhou mother was no longer worried about ZHOU's crisis, so no matter how the other side bullied and coerced her, she obstinately refused to cut the price. Seeing another batch of ZHOU's staff being head hunted, leaving ZHOU an empty shell, she accepted a price of 75 million.
If it was a month ago, 5% of ZHOU's shares could've sold for no less than 50 million, but now it wasn't even worth 10 million. But before the agent Zhou mother had sent out could find Fang Kunpeng, Yi Group bought all his shares for 8 million, then it began buying up one stock after another.
This made Zhou mother feel very anxious, she hurriedly visited her son in prison to discuss, then went home after calming down, ate, and slept.
Fang Kunpeng failed to cobble together 25 million, he thought about it, then sold the apartment he had bought for his mistress, and also secretly sold the luxury car and all the luxury goods Zhou mother had gifted him, but the auctions only got him another 12 million.
In desperation, Fang Zhifei mortgaged all his personal property and real estate, intending to put everything he had to his name on the gamble.

Zhou Yun Sheng lived in a single-person cell, although his circumstances were not good, victory brought him tranquility. He used 008 to monitor the outside world, and when he found that all the vermin hidden in ZHOU had finally cleared out, and the Fang father and son pair had also gotten into position, he got up and shook the iron bars, shouting, "Police comrades, I want to clear up the situation!"
Immediately, a police officer escorted him to the interrogation room, where the same two detectives were once again in charge of the interrogation.
"Tell us exactly how you committed the crime at that time." The younger detective picked up a pen and prepared to record his statement.
"I didn't commit the crime, I was wronged." Zhou Yun Sheng shook his head and denied.
The younger detective slammed the notepad onto the table, his expression reddening in anger, but the older detective quickly stopped him.
Zhou Yun Sheng was unperturbed, he continued, "I have impotence. I don't have even the basic sexual functions, what did I use to rape her?"
"That's impossible!" Who didn't know that ZHOU's young master was a famous flaneur, and his favorite activity was playing with women. The younger detective was adamantly unconvinced, but the older detective exposed a doubtful expression.
[Flaneur- an idle man-about-town. An aimless idler; a loafer.]
"I've had this illness for almost a year, the Municipal People's Hospital has my medical records, you can subpoena it. I'll even allow you to perform a test on me now. As for my girlfriends, they can prove that I'm not pretending to get out of this. I'd planned to settle this quietly with money, no need to broadcast my private matters, but you insist on putting an innocent man in jail. If I don't clear this mess up now, I'll be an idiot."
Zhou Yun Sheng exposed a timely embarrassed expression.
'Impotence', this kind of thing gives a man endless pain, most people wouldn't openly admit it. The two policemen suddenly blanked, then they looked at each other, their expressions like they just heard something unimaginable.
"Take him to the forensics department for testing." The older detective was the first to compose himself, when the suspect was taken away, he turned to his partner and said, "Go to the hospital to check his medical records, then track down some of his girlfriends and bring them in for questioning."
The younger detective hurried out to Municipal People's Hospital, sure enough, he found the proof in his medical records.
"I was baffled when I saw the news. Mr. Zhou has lost sexual function, how could he be convicted of rape. I've been waiting for you to come question me." The doctor sorted through the records and sighed.
"What if we didn't come find you, you couldn't come forward to help out our investigation first?"
"Tsk, this isn't about what's the right thing to do detective. This is doctor-patient confidentiality, if Mr. Zhou doesn't explain it first, I can't speak out ah."
The younger detective glared at him, then took the records and left. Back at the station, the forensics department's test results came out, Zhou Yun Sheng really had lost sexual function.
"Fuck, then what the hell is all this!" The younger detective carefully looked through the victim's confessions, reading through the extraordinarily detailed descriptions, then guessed, "Lao Li, is this girl really falsely accusing him?" Maybe if she'd claimed that Zhou Yun Sheng had raped her with a prop, but she'd strongly stressed Zhou Yun Sheng's violent assault. This statement was the strongest evidence of her false accusations.
"We'll investigate thoroughly first, then everything will become clear." The older detective waved, saw one of Zhou Yun Sheng's previous women walk in, then immediately brought her in for a statement.
They questioned all the women the suspect had contact with, but none of them admitted to having a physical relationship with the suspect, among these, about 7 out of 10 of them mocked, "I was 90% sure Chief Zhou's dick was a dud after our 'dates', so I was shocked when I saw the news about his rape. We dated for one week, and every time we met, he just sat me down on a couch for an hour, then gave me a check for my time. What a weirdo."
"Thank you for your cooperation." After warping up the final woman, the two detectives glanced at each other, both feeling that this was no longer a rape case, but a false accusation case.
Just as this idea emerged, the two received a call from their boss, ordering them to thoroughly investigate to the end.
