Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 520
  On Christmas night, Chu Xiangqian was surprised and a little touched because Margaret returned to the manor early.

So the two of them were inseparable that night, and Margaret really felt that Chu Xiangqian truly loved her.

But when she got excited, the consequence was that Margaret slept until noon the next day. Even when she got up to have lunch, she would cover her mouth and take a breath from time to time.

One look at it and you can tell that you were really tired last night.

At noon, Chu Qianqian hugged Margaret, who still wanted to sleep, and lay in the flower room of the manor to soak up the sun and doze off.

Unexpectedly, Butler Hawkins rushed over from the pasture next to the manor and reported that a man claiming to be Little Frank called him.

And it seemed that he was quite anxious.

Chu Qianqian smiled. He had never come to London, but only stayed in the villa on Garden Street for one night, and then stayed in the manor.

So when Chu Qianqian got off the plane, Chickadee began to follow that little Frank guy.

Only on the night when Chu Qianqian transported cattle and sheep did the tit fly back to London.

Not only did I watch him leave London, go to a small town in France, and find the small printing shop.

She also followed him to his aunt's house.

In the next few days, I watched with my own eyes how little Frank bribed the old janitor of the printing factory.

Let him enter the printing factory at night and quietly become familiar with the printing machine.

After finishing the ink step by step, it’s time to start printing.

Unfortunately, what Frank didn't know was that in order to prevent him from using fake checks extensively in Europe and then being caught with evidence of a crime, Chu Xiangqian anonymously notified the FBI, Carl Hart, who was specifically responsible for his case.

So Frank had just printed hundreds of blank checks when the FBI came to his door.

It was blocked directly in the printing factory.

Fortunately, the fake checks haven't started to be printed yet. Even if he is guilty, it is still burglary. If the forgery fails, he will be sentenced to one or two years at most.

But the FBI people were not willing to let him be sentenced in Europe. While little Frank was being held in custody, they were applying for permission to bring him back to the United States to face trial.

But it also gave Frank Jr. the chance to ask for a lawyer and even make a phone call.

After thinking about it for a while, Frank finally called Chu Qianqian.

The price is that as long as Chu Xiangqian helps him get the machine, he will give Chu Xiangqian 1 fake checks in an amount not exceeding US$300 every year.

Chu Qianqian smiled and said into the microphone, "Frank, there is no future in fake checks. I have a more profitable and legal business here.

If you do well, you can still make two to three million US dollars a year.

And the business is respectable enough. I think you also want your parents to be proud of you, right? "

Chu Xiangqian didn't talk about junk bonds, let alone setting up a securities company on Wall Street and becoming a leading securities firm, making tens of millions a year at least.

Lest the amount was said to be too high, this kid would feel like he was being lied to.

Sure enough, little Frank, who was already desperate, not only wanted to join without any hesitation, but also proactively asked eagerly what kind of business it was.

It was a pity that Chu Qianqian would not tell him. He only said something to let him wait with peace of mind, and a lawyer would go to see him.

After Chu Xiangqian hung up the phone, he called Yongdao's people.

As long as enough money is given, European and American lawyers will try their best to help their clients overturn the case, let alone a financial fraud case, even a murder case with solid evidence.

In the Simpson murder case of his wife in the 90s, before the case started, all the evidence showed that Simpson had a [-]% chance of losing the case.

But Simpson was the most famous football player in the United States at that time, worth tens of millions.

The defense team hired by this guy is truly a heavenly team.

Even big shots like Li Changyu became a member of his defense team.    In Europe and the United States, many times people with money can really do whatever they want.

It only took Yongdao one day to arrive in France and meet Frank.

After showing his lawyer's card, little Frank suddenly felt that he might actually be able to get away with it when he faced the two barristers sitting in front of him.

At the same time, I am grateful to the rich man I met on the plane.

With the help of a lawyer, after calling Chu Qianqian again to confirm, little Frank told all the important things he had done.

After listening to this, the two barristers couldn't help but look at the 20-year-old young man in front of them with admiration, and even admired him in their hearts.

Over the past four years, a large number of fake checks have been used in all 4 states in the United States, with the amount exceeding US$50 million.

Moreover, after this kid ran away from home at the age of 16, he pretended to be a doctor, a lawyer, and even became an assistant to the U.S. state judge for a time.

What is even more surprising and admirable is that he also obtained a lawyer's qualification certificate.

Apart from being a genius, the two barristers didn't know how to describe this kid.

The three combed through it carefully and soon discovered that the FBI should not be able to catch Frank Jr.'s evidence of making and using fake checks.

Even if individual witnesses can be found, forgery and use are two different things.

No matter what happens, you can still make a deal with the prosecutor in charge of the case.

In exchange for skills in checking, prosecutors were exempted from prosecution.

Under the premise that there is no certainty that Frank will be convicted of a felony, based on the urine of the US prosecutor, he will really reach a settlement with the lawyer.

Compared with the misdemeanor and the acquisition of skills to detect fake checks, the latter naturally deserves more credit.

In order to ensure the safety of the check, the bank will also agree with the prosecutor's settlement.

When the time comes to catch Frank Jr., FBI director Carl, no matter how incompetent and furious he is, can't change the outcome.

Even FBI bosses with higher positions than him will take the initiative to approach him to put the overall situation first.

I heard two barristers say that if they asked them to cooperate with the FBI, they would fly back to the United States with them.

Frank agreed without hesitation.

The next day, Carl Hart, the FBI director in charge of Frank Jr.'s case, entered the prison and planned to chat with Frank Jr. When he heard someone in the prison say that two barristers came to see Frank Jr. yesterday, he suddenly felt something bad.

Sure enough, when he met Frank, the boy had regained his confidence.

He also actively requested to be extradited back to the United States. But no matter what you do or say during this period, you need to have a lawyer present.

Karl couldn't help but curse in his heart. He had been tracking this kid for three years, and finally received a tip and caught this kid.

Unexpectedly, when I applied for extradition permission, two senior barristers suddenly appeared, and they were also from one of the top accounting firms in England, Coopers & Partners.

Just thinking about the influence of this kind of comprehensive consulting company, which is ranked among the top ten in the world, in American politics and business, gives Karl a headache.

If a person is not good, there is no need to prosecute. A big shot in the FBI will come forward and avoid prosecution due to lack of evidence.

Or let little Frank go temporarily and continue to collect evidence of his crime.

But that's basically giving up.

When Carl got out of prison, he immediately asked someone to find out whether it was Frank Jr. who paid for the lawyer himself, or whether he had someone behind him.

It's a pity that no matter who he asked for help, let alone finding Chu Xiangqian, Yongdao's people only knew that Karl was investigating the financial backer behind them in less than three days.

This is tantamount to giving clues to the lawyers.
