I'm reborn and I'm an international student again?

Chapter 386 Running away
"Don't listen to his nonsense. Chen Xi asked us to hold him back. This guy is definitely not a good person." Shi Tao whispered in Li Yuqing's ear.

After hearing this, Li Yuqing's momentum returned to its original state. She immediately pointed at the man's nose and shouted, "Don't lie to me. Do you think I was scared? Send me away? Send your grandmother away."

"Keep an eye on him."

"Yes."

"Ah! You stinky woman, how dare you do this to me..."

Ma Yueling gave an order to her subordinates, turned around and left the room. Cole kept roaring behind her, but no one paid any attention to him.

"Sister Ling, my classmate has been taken away." Seeing Ma Yueling coming over, Chen Xi hurried over.

He was worried that these security guards would use force on Shi Tao and Li Yuqing, especially Li Yuqing, who had a bad temper to begin with. If she went crazy, then...

"It's okay, let's go over now." Ma Yueling glanced at him and motioned Chen Xi to follow.

Inside the security room, several men in suits looked at the three people arguing with expressionless faces.

The order they received was to bring people here, and as long as they didn't fight, they could do anything. After all, Australia still respects human rights.

"Let us go now, or I'll call the police." The man took out his phone and pretended to call the police.

"Okay! Call the police." At this time the door was opened and Ma Yueling walked in with a smile.

"Chen Xi." Li Yuqing's eyes suddenly lit up when she saw Chen Xi coming. Now she became more confident and opened her mouth again to mock the man next to her.

"We just had a small conflict. It didn't cause any big trouble. You should be able to let us go. I have something else to do later. If you continue to detain me here, I will definitely sue you when I get out. According to Australian law, you must at least compensate me hundreds of thousands to millions..." The man brought out all the Australian laws. It is very useful to speak with laws in some occasions abroad.

Indeed, in a situation like this, if Crown did something extreme and lost the lawsuit, the amount of compensation would be ridiculously high.

"Sure, Crown has plenty of money. We can afford to pay tens of millions, let alone millions." Ma Yueling responded bluntly.

"What do you want?"

"Your companions have confessed everything. They are right next door."

"I don't know what you are talking about. I don't have any companions." The man's face turned pale, but he quickly pretended to be calm.

"You used several bank cards to exchange chips at the Crown account office, and then pretended to be normal players to launder money in the casino. This happened more than once. The amount of money you committed in the past few months has reached hundreds of millions of Australian dollars. The international students next door came with you, including these two..." Ma Yueling pointed at Li Yuqing and Shi Tao. The two almost fainted after hearing this, and the man also trembled slightly.

We are all educated people, and we all know what washing rice is.

Such cases are often reported in the news, and the perpetrators usually face huge fines and decades in prison.

Thinking about spending the next life in prison, Li Yuqing's legs went weak and she fell to the ground.

Shi Tao held on to the table to prevent himself from falling down.

"Wu~ Chen Xi, what should I do? You have to save me~ I don't want to go to jail... Wu~" Li Yuqing burst into tears.

"You say I wash rice, so I wash rice? I haven't touched the money, and I haven't been to the gambling table. Don't try to frame me." The man suddenly toughened up and wanted to make a final resistance.

"Didn't I tell you that your companions have confessed? They were not treated as well as you are now." Ma Yueling chuckled, which immediately reminded people of the torture going on next door.

"Oh, I don't believe it. Call them here to testify against me in person!"

"Don't worry. The mastermind behind this is Thomas, right? He has been arrested. If you tell the truth now, I may be able to help you avoid some of the blame..."

"you……"

When the man heard Thomas' name, his face was filled with disbelief. He was no longer calm. It seemed that the woman in front of him really knew everything.

Ma Yueling took out her mobile phone and looked at the screen, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, looking confident, which made the man's fear reach the extreme.

He now began to suspect that Thomas had been arrested, and might have been taken to the police station for questioning as the woman said. If the guys next door confessed, wouldn't he anger her if he resisted?

How to do?
Cooperate or resist?

He was conflicted. Although he had made a lot of money in the past few months, his current situation...

No, Thomas said that we have someone in Crown, and he is a high-ranking official. Now that something has happened, that person will definitely not ignore it.

Now all I have to do is delay time. I don’t care whether those guys next door have any tricks or not. I don’t have any.

At this time, Cole was sitting in a chair, holding his mobile phone and sending messages continuously.

The person who sent the message was Minh, an old acquaintance of Chen Xi.

The people controlled by Ma Yueling have no connection with Cole. The relationship network of these guys involved in the rice-washing is very complicated. The man who led Shi Tao and Li Yuqing here is connected with Thomas, Thomas is in contact with Minh, and Minh is communicating with Cole.

The group of Asians listed in Ma Yueling's profile were all found by Minh and Thomas, and some of Fu's relatives were also involved, so the relationships were simply a mess.

"What should I do? I'm controlled by that woman and now I can't even get out of the office."

"How would I know what to do? This is your Crown's internal matter."

"It seems that the person you called was caught by them. If he doesn't keep his mouth shut and exposes us, we'll be finished."

"What are you afraid of? These people didn't contact me. I only contacted you. No one knows the two of us."

"Then stop talking nonsense. These people must have a boss. If they reveal that person, the police will follow the clues and find us sooner or later." Although Cole had a bad temper, he was not an idiot. He didn't believe what Minh said at all.

"Of course I have people watching over there. Do you think I would be comfortable leaving my money to someone else for safekeeping?" Minh's text message seemed to show that he was confident, but in fact it was not the case.

He just received a call from his younger brother and is now rushing to the airport.

The purpose of sending these messages to Cole was to fool this stupid foreigner and try to delay time.

As long as Cole didn't give him up so quickly, Minh believed he could return to Vietnam smoothly and escape capture.

"Keep calm now. Don't believe anything that woman says to you. She has no evidence to incriminate us. Detaining people privately is not only unacceptable within the group, but even the police will come after her, and the only one who will suffer is that stinky woman." Minh kept sending text messages to calm Cole's emotions. He was worried that this hot-tempered guy would do something impulsive.

"Damn, how did Thomas do his job? He got arrested himself. I hope this guy doesn't expose me so quickly."

"Boss, what should we do with our money?" asked a confidant of Minh.

"What else can we do? Let's go to the beach now."

"Boss, aren't we going to leave by plane?"

"Sit on the plane at this hour. That's my smoke screen. I don't think we can even get through customs. There might be police at the airport right now. I've already contacted a boat and we'll sneak back in."

"The boss is still smart."

"It's already this late, and you're still flattering me."

Minh cursed, and the car quickly changed its route and headed towards the beach.

At this moment, Thomas is in the police station.

Just a while ago, he was sitting comfortably on the sofa in the villa. Suddenly, the door was kicked open and a group of gunmen rushed in.

After confirming their identities, they took Thomas and several other people in the villa away without hesitation.
