Chapter 548: Black Money from Southeast Asia
"Zhou ...... You ......"
Lauder looked at Zhou Qi in horror and confusion, his lips trembled and said, "I'm sorry, I'm in a bit of a hurry, I'll contact you later." β
As he spoke, he slammed the door shut.
Zhou Qi smiled, and with a slight force, he pushed the door in with Lauder, closed the door with his backhand, and said, "Mr. Lauder, what are you doing here?
Lauder was a little caught off guard, he almost fell to the ground, he was able to stabilize his body, he said hesitantly, "Zhou, you are, what are you looking for me, you say." β
Zhou Qi took a look at where Lauder lived, although he was Lauder's henchman, he had never been here as a guest.
He didn't take off his pants and fart anymore, walked over to the couch and sat down, pointed to the opposite position, and said, "Lauder, sit down and talk." β
Lauder said nervously, "Zhou, I really want to go out immediately, you can tell me anything directly." Really, I'm busy. β
Laughing, Zhou Qi said, "Lauder, you are a smart person, I want us to have a gentlemanly conversation, obviously you don't want me to use violence." β
Lauder looked at Zhou Qi, having worked together for so long, he suddenly found that the current Zhou Qi was completely different from usual. The cold light that frequently flashed in Zhou Qi's eyes told him that he was absolutely sure that he would break his neck. He didn't dare to underestimate this Chinese who could carry nearly two hundred pounds of elk with one hand.
"Okay. Lauder had no choice but to walk over and sit down, and when he sat down, he saw Zhou Qi take out a pistol from his pocket and put it on the coffee table, his heart suddenly trembled, "No, no, no, Zhou, you just said that the conversation between gentlemen is alive." β
Zhou Qi smiled and said, "Sue me about the matter between you and Charles, of course, I mean the money laundering between you and Charles through the GuΓ² Global Children's Fund." β
Lauder was stunned and looked at Zhou Qi in horror. He didn't understand, how did Zhou Qi know, he didn't understand, he could hear from Zhou Qi's demeanor and tone, he seemed to have been preparing for a long time.
He was not completely unconscious, and for a moment, Lauder thought of something. At this time, he calmed down instead. It's like when people encounter the threat of death, they will be afraid and panicked. However, once you see death, or death is in the neck, you will become calm.
"Zhou, are you a cop?" Lauder's first reaction was this. There is no doubt that only the police would do such a thing - undercover.
Zhou Qi smiled slightly, shook his head, and said, "Lauder, I have to emphasize that the initiative is in my hands in this conversation, so you are not qualified to ask questions." β
Pointing to the pistol on the coffee table, Zhou Qi said, "The Rolloc 17 pistol has a very small sound when it is fired. I promise to pick up the gun and shoot you in the forehead within a second, if you don't cooperate enough. β
"Okay, let's get started, Lauder, tell me what you know about ML and if you launder money through the Global Children's Fund, where does the black money come from, what channels do you transfer to ML companies, and what channels do you transfer clean money anywhere, all, you know, sue me. Zhou Qi continued to say, "Of course, in exchange, give me a satisfactory answer, I will let you leave Switzerland." β
"Otherwise......"
As he spoke, he pointed at the pistol and stopped talking.
Lauder lowered his gaze at the jet-black pistol, raised his head to look at Zhou Qi, and his lips trembled. After hesitating for a long time, he said in a trembling voice, "Zhou, you are terrible. β
Zhou Qi knew very well that Lauder was not a person with much willpower, so he interrogated so bluntly and threatenedly. Lauder only has money in his eyes, and the fact that he has partnered with Charles to launder money using a charitable foundation that was supposed to work for the benefit of children around the world already shows that this man's moral system has collapsed.
"Can I smoke a cigarette?" Lauder asked, gesturing to the cigarette on the coffee table. Zhou Qi nodded, Lauder picked up a cigarette and lit a cigarette and took a few puffs, stabilizing his mind before he said, "Zhou, I thought I knew you very well, but I didn't expect you to be an undercover agent lurking beside me." I answer your question, anyway, Charles has been exposed to the eyes of the police, and the police will find him sooner or later. But I want you to keep your promise, I answer the questions, and you let me go. β
Lauder gathered his thoughts for a moment and began to say, "ML has controlled more than a dozen food companies around the world. As you know, most of the food that our foundation distributes to children is food. The headquarters of the Global Children's Fund, the food company, and the ML company form a complete sales and procurement chain, and the money becomes legal in the process. For UNICEF, there is nothing to lose, it is just an important transition. The food poisoning incident in Nangang, China, was an accident, and the food purchased from other regions was completely up to standard......"
"I think you must have recorded some key things, or you must have a book that records the entire operation process, the companies involved and the people. Zhou Qi interrupted him and said.
Lauder exhaled a long breath and nodded slowly, "That's what I saved my life." β
Shrugging his shoulders, Zhou Qi said, "You have to give it to me." β
After staring at Zhou Qi for a while, Lauder compromised, stood up and walked towards the bedroom. Zhou Qi picked up the pistol and walked over. Lauder opened the safe in the bedroom, took out a thick notepad from the innermost, walked over and handed it to Zhou Qi.
Zhou Qi flipped it over and glanced at it a few times, and the detailed situation was recorded in beautiful handwritten English.
"Very well, let's continue. β
The two returned to the living room and sat down again, and Zhou Qi asked, "Where does the black money come from?"
Lauder's expression suddenly became a little strange, and he said, "It's very interesting, most of them are from Southeast Asia." β
Zhou Qi heard something, Southeast Asia is definitely not the first outflow point. Vaguely, he felt something. Maybe it has something to do with domestic economic crime groups.
"That's all I know. Lauder spread his hands and said, "I swear." Charles won't tell me a lot of the insider. I'm just a small character. β
"Your role is important to use the entire Global Children's Fund for money laundering. Zhou Qi snorted coldly and said, "Go on, Lauder." ML company situation, sue sΓΉ me. β
Shaking his head, Lauder said, "I only know that the superficial business of ML companies is just a cover. It is actually an institution that specializes in money laundering. Charles receives business from all over the world, and when he achieves his goal, he takes a 20% commission from it. β
Speaking of this, he shook his head, "Charles exchanged the previous year's income for diamonds and gold, ready to deposit into UBS, but he didn't expect to be robbed at the door of his house. I think ML companies may be coming to an end. β
"Zhou, I've told you everything you want to know. Can you let me go?" Lauder looked at the time, looking a little anxious, he wouldn't be able to catch the plane any later.
"I have to make sure you've sued me for what you know. Zhou Qi picked up the pistol and said.
Lauder suddenly became nervous, raised his hands, and said urgently, "I promise, I swear, I said everything I know, please believe me!"
"Who else is involved in money laundering at the Global Children's Fund?" Zhou Qi asked suddenly.
Lauder was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head again and again: "No, it's just me." I was the only one who took Charles before and served them. β
"You're lying!" Zhou Qi said flatly.
"I don't have ......"
The gun in Zhou Qi's hand pointed at Lauder, "One last chance." β
Lauder slowly raised his hands, then slowly stood up, walked to the side, then knelt down on his knees, and pleaded, "Zhou, please give me a way to live." I can't really say. I said that it was my family who died, and I didn't say it, only I could kill you. I can't really say. β
Zhou Qi also stood up, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, gestured, and asked, "Do you need to talk to your son?" I invited a few friends to his school to protect him. β
Looking at Zhou Qi with a faint smile on his face, Lauder remembered a word - demon.
What provides protection, it is clear that he is threatening him with his son. Zhou Qi is telling him - I can also let you try the pain of losing your wife and children. What this shows is the huge power behind Zhou Qi. Lauder is not stupid, he understands what Zhou Qi means.
Slowly putting down his hand, Lauder stood up, and he was in a desperate situation, and he had the psychology of being killed, and he said viciously, "I dare to guarantee that once I sue you, you will definitely not live for a month!"
"That's my business. Now, it's your business. The gun in Zhou Qi's hand shook up and down.
Lauder took a heavy breath and whispered, "Zhou, we've been working together for so long. I advise you not to inquire so much, although I don't know which side you represent. Suddenly seeing Zhou Qi's index finger pressing the trigger, he hurriedly said, "Of course, if you have to know, then I can only sue you." I hope you don't hurt my son. β
After a pause, Lauder said, "Almost all of the top management of the Global Children's Fund headquarters have been bribed, and I am only one of the relatively important members. A year ago, the Global Children's Fund was already accused by the money laundering agency of the Italian mafia group headed by Charles. The situation is definitely beyond your imagination. Not only the headquarters, but also many senior executives in various branch offices accepted bribes from Charles. β
Shaking his head, Lauder said, "Zhou, this is a huge shady scene. For the sake of working together for a year, I advise you not to touch it. With the Global Children's Fund's position in the global philanthropic community, these scandals will shock the world once they are exposed. Not everyone can afford this kind of power. β
With that, he closed his mouth.
Zhou Qi thought for a moment and asked, "Tell me about Southeast Asian funds, I know you must know something." β
Lauder glanced at Zhou Qi deeply and slowly spoke......
