Chapter 605: Chapter 605: Investigation_1

"President Park has misunderstood; we’re here on official duty, merely following procedure with our inquiries."

Chen Se said steadfastly, "As to whether you’ve stolen any pills, that must be determined through investigation."

"We would appreciate it if President Park would cooperate with our work."

"How dare you! Do you know who President Park is?"

The bodyguard, Cui Chengxian, said angrily, "To so boldly investigate President Park, aren’t you afraid of losing your job?"

"Sir, if I am not mistaken, you must be President Park’s personal bodyguard Cui Chengxian, right?"

Chen Se squinted at him and said indifferently, "Please understand, Mr. Cui, that this is Jiuzhou, not your Goryeo!"

"I’d like to see who would dare to fire me."

Those words were not an idle boast. Chen Se had come bearing an investigation warrant and was following all due procedures.

Behind him, he had the backing of Elder Tang Guowei. The Park Biotech Company did have some connections, but not in Jiangling City, otherwise, they wouldn’t have needed to ask Tao Donglai for help.

"Captain Cui, step back."

President Park Taiyu snapped sharply and then chuckled, "Chen Se is merely performing official duties. Why give him a hard time?"

"Isn’t there an old saying in Jiuzhou, ’The upright need not fear a crooked shadow’? Since I haven’t done anything, why should I fear an investigation?"

"Ask away, Chen Se. I will assure you complete transparency with anything I know."

Of course, he had nothing to fear. The theft was carried out by the Tao Family’s chief bodyguard, Tao Yi, not someone from the Parks.

The stolen Half Regeneration Elixir was divided into three parts: one was used on the test subject Sun Aimin, who had already been secretly executed to maintain confidentiality; the remaining two were taken back by Li Chengzhi, one for his father to use, and the other for the research center to analyze its components.

There was no witness evidence, nor was there any physical evidence.

President Park Taiyu didn’t believe Chen Se could turn up anything significant.

"Thank you for your support, President Park."

Chen Se nodded in thanks. "Back to business then. May I ask, where were you, and what were you doing, between nine and ten o’clock last night? Does anyone have the ability to confirm this?"

"Between nine and ten o’clock last night?"

President Park Taiyu thought for a moment as if recalling something, "I was in my room dealing with some company matters and then went to bed."

"Around half-past nine, a hotel server came in and brought me a bottle of Bordeaux wine. You can confirm this with the hotel staff."

"All right."

Chen Se nodded and then turned his gaze to the bodyguard Cui Chengxian, "What about Mr. Cui?"

"I went out for a bit to have a drink at the Di Hao bar."

Cui Chengxian lied without batting an eyelid, "I was invited by a friend from Jiuzhou and went out after informing President Park."

"There were many friends who drank with me at the time. I can give you their contact information later."

To align with last night’s operation, Cui Chengxian had deliberately made arrangements with the Tao family. With Tao Er and others as his alibi, Chen Se would be helpless even if he suspected anything.

Chen Se did harbor suspicions and said, "Mr. Cui, as far as I’m aware, you are Mr. Park Taiyu’s personal bodyguard. This is Mr. Park Taiyu’s first time in Jiangling City. Isn’t it a dereliction of duty for you to go out at that time?"

"It’s not dereliction of duty. Captain Cui has several good friends in Jiangling City, and I permitted him to go out."

President Park Taiyu squinted and explained, "The security in Jiangling City is good, and I had other bodyguards for protection, so there’s nothing wrong with Captain Cui going out for a couple of drinks."

"President Park is indeed considerate towards his subordinates."

Chen Se stared intently at the other party, then surveyed the room, pondering, "I heard that President Park also has a personal assistant called Li Chengzhi. Right?"

"Where is Mr. Li Chengzhi?"

A flicker of panic passed through President Park Taiyu’s eyes, but he quickly composed himself and said, "There was an issue at the company. I sent Assistant Li back to Goryeo."

"What issue?"

Chen Se noted President Park Taiyu’s reaction and pressed in a stern voice.

"Sorry, it’s a business secret. No comment," President Park Taiyu responded indifferently, "Chen Se, if there’s nothing else, please leave. I have other arrangements today."

Ding Se, who was following Chen Se, was young and impulsive. He could tell from President Park Taiyu’s tone of voice that he was being given the brush-off and said discontentedly, "Mr. Park, how can you leave when the investigation isn’t over yet!"

"If that priceless elixir did indeed come from you all..."

"Xiao Ding!"

Before Ding Se could continue, Chen Se interrupted him. He smiled slightly at President Park Taiyu and the others and said, "Thank you, Mr. Park, for cooperating with us."

"I won’t impose further today, but please remain here for a few days."

President Park Taiyu nodded slightly, "That’s fine, but I can only stay for a maximum of three days. As you know, I’m the executive director in charge of Park Biotech in the Jiuzhou region, I can’t stay in one place all the time."

"Of course, I’ll do my best to expedite matters."

Chen Se forced a smile, turned, and walked out with his assistant Xiao Ding.

"Chen, that Li Chengzhi obviously has issues!"

As soon as they left the hotel, Xiao Ding frowned and said, "As I see it, it must’ve been Park Taiyu who instructed Li Chengzhi to steal the elixir from the old master!"

"Don’t make unfounded statements when you have no evidence!"

Chen Se said in a low voice, "Our job now is to investigate the truth, not to speculate wildly."

"However, Li Chengzhi certainly is a prime suspect."

"This is what you will do—check the hotel’s surveillance to see what time Li Chengzhi left. Also, keep an eye on that Cui Chengxian. My intuition tells me, he’s involved."
