Chapter 583 Unmasking the Mastermind

"Speak, who is the mastermind behind this?" Ye Tian asked again.

The young man dared not refuse and quickly replied, "It's Zhang Jinghua! He made us do it!"

Upon hearing Zhang Jinghua's name, Jiang Wenxing angrily exclaimed, "It's him? That scoundrel!"

Ye Tian was a little curious and asked, "Who is Zhang Jinghua?"

Jiang Wenxing sighed, "He's my maternal uncle, and he holds shares in my family's business. He was just a loafer back then; if my father hadn't helped him, he'd be nothing. Now, he's actually plotting against me!"

Ye Tian knew this was serious and asked, "How many shares does Zhang Jinghua hold?"

Jiang Wenxing replied, "He originally held about seven percent, making him the second-largest shareholder after my father. However, our family's capital chain had problems before, didn't it? This uncle of mine kicked us while we were down, insisting on selling his shares. My father had no choice but to use the limited funds and some loans to buy all his shares, which were then transferred to my name."

Ye Tian asked, "How much money did he get for that seven percent stake?"

Jiang Wenxing said, "The stock price was already very low at the time. We gave him seventy-seven billion."

Ye Tian commented, "That's quite a sum."

Jiang Wenxing added, "But that seven percent stake is now worth at least eighty billion. He's taken a massive loss."

Ye Tian patted his shoulder, "Don't worry, I'll investigate thoroughly."

He then asked the young man, "You're Zhang Jinghua's man, what's your name?"

The young man replied, "Yang Jinbao, Zhang Jinghua is my uncle."

Ye Tian asked, "Do you know what Zhang Jinghua's plan is?"

Yang Jinbao explained, "Zhang Jinghua plans to first make Jiang Wenxing incur debt, then get him addicted to drugs, and finally find a way to make him sign a share transfer agreement."

Ye Tian asked Jiang Wenxing, "Do you have the authority to sign a share transfer agreement yourself?"

Jiang Wenxing shook his head, "That requires my father's signature and consent."

Yang Jinbao continued, "Zhang Jinghua has found a master who can hypnotize people. At that time, Jiang Wenxing will kill his own father under hypnosis and then obtain all the assets. After that, he will sign the share transfer agreement."

Jiang Wenxing was furious, "What a wicked Zhang Jinghua!"

Ye Tian instructed, "Call Zhang Jinghua now and tell him to come over."

Yang Jinbao said, "Okay, I'll call."

The call connected, and Zhang Jinghua asked in a low voice, "How is it, has Jiang Wenxing paid the money back?"

Yang Jinbao replied, "Uncle, this kid is very obedient now. He doesn't dare to let his family know about the debt. Uncle, I think you can make an appearance and pretend to help him resolve this matter."

Zhang Jinghua was very pleased and chuckled, "You've done very well. Keep him stable, and I'll be there in half an hour!"

"Okay, Uncle, I'll wait for you."

After hanging up, Yang Jinbao looked at Ye Tian pitifully.

Ye Tian inquired, "How much capital does Zhang Jinghua have now?"

Yang Jinbao replied, "He lost over two billion in the stock market a while ago. He should still have a little over five billion on hand."

Ye Tian asked no further questions. He called Jiang Wenxing aside and said, "Wenxing, you go back first, as if nothing happened. Also, don't tell Auntie and Uncle about what happened here, understand?"

Jiang Wenxing nodded repeatedly, "Got it, brother. Shall I leave now?"

"Go ahead."

After Jiang Wenxing left, Ye Tian used the witchcraft from the scroll to hypnotize everyone present. They would do whatever he told them to, including Yang Jinbao.

Less than half an hour later, Zhang Jinghua arrived. He was a middle-aged man with a bald head and an oily face. Upon arriving, he didn't see Jiang Wenxing and asked, "Where is he?"

Two burly men stepped forward and restrained him. He angrily exclaimed, "Yang Jinbao, what are you doing?"

Yang Jinbao, with a blank expression, pointed at the bald man on the ground and said, "You seriously injured someone. I've already called the police, and they'll arrest you soon."

As Zhang Jinghua was about to say more, Ye Tian waved his hands in front of him. Zhang Jinghua's consciousness began to blur. He repeated whatever Ye Tian said.

"Zhang Jinghua, transfer all your money to this account. When the police arrive, you will admit that you seriously injured this bald man because you disliked him. Do you understand?"

"Yes, I understand," he murmured.

Soon, five billion one hundred and fifty million was transferred in installments into Ye Tian's untraceable overseas account. Shortly after, the police arrived and arrested Zhang Jinghua. Everyone present testified that he had assaulted someone, and Zhang Jinghua himself confessed. Ultimately, he was sentenced to five years in prison.
