Chapter 153: Loss is Over
Lin Shuyi didn't even look at Wu Jinliang. She tapped the desk lightly, cleared her throat, and said leisurely: " Okay, let's talk about something else. I think the direction of our company's business development needs to be adjusted, starting with..."
After leaving the Jingwan Group headquarters building, Wu Jinliang looked back at the glittering golden sign on the roof and said with gritted teeth: "Lin Shuyi, you'd better not fall into my hands, otherwise, I will make you pay!"
Although he was filled with resentment, he definitely couldn't touch Lin Shuyi now. If anything happened to Lin Shuyi, everyone would probably suspect him, so Wu Jinliang still had some rationality.
He drove back to his mansion and couldn't help but look left and right.
The house is good, but it will soon no longer belong to him.
Originally, his last way out was to sell part of Jingwan Group's shares and make up for all the losses, but Lin Shuyi obviously would not allow him to do so. If he dared to sell the shares to someone outside the Lin family, Lin Shuyi would never let it go, which meant that there was no last way out.
After walking around the villa three times, Wu Jinliang waited for the person he wanted to wait for, but did not get the news he wanted.
The people he was waiting for were naturally Wu Jianhao and Wu Qiuping.
"How is it? Have you found the person?"
Wu Jianhao was furious and yelled, "What the hell, Zhou Jianfeng is like he disappeared from this world, there's no way to find him."
Wu Qiuping sighed and said, "I have mobilized all my connections in both the black and white worlds, but I still can't find any trace of Zhou Jianfeng. I can only keep an eye on his family first."
Zhou Youguang was a well-known figure in the local business community, so the Wu family did not dare to visit him directly. Otherwise, given Wu Jinliang's violent temper, he would have captured Zhou Jianfeng's entire family as hostages.
Wu Jianhao couldn't help but start to worry: "Damn, could this guy have committed suicide out of fear of punishment?"
Wu Jinliang said in a deep voice: "Impossible, absolutely impossible. The greedier the person, the more afraid they are of death. Keep looking for him, even if you have to dig deep into the ground! Although I lost a lot of money in the account, there is still some."
Wu Jianhao's face was fierce when he heard this. He no longer maintained his demeanor as a rich young master and cursed fiercely, "He even dares to embezzle our Wu family's money. If I find him, he will be dead!"
Zhou Youguang's home.
Dozens of people crowded into the small living room, making it so crowded that there was no place to sit.
"Second Uncle, quickly ask A Feng to hand him over and explain everything clearly!"
"Old Zhou, I trusted you so much, but I didn't expect you to do such a thing."
“Pay back the money!”
These were Zhou Jianfeng's relatives and friends. Zhou Jianfeng had promised them high returns, so they raised a large sum of money for him to operate. However, they had not contacted Zhou Jianfeng for a week. They also read in the newspapers about the victory of the Hong Kong financial defense war and the destruction of international speculators who were short-selling in the Russians. They had a bad premonition and immediately rushed to Zhou's house to ask for an explanation.
"Has Zhou Jianfeng not returned from Hong Kong yet?"
"When will he be back?"
"Call him now, quick!"
Facing the aggressive relatives and friends, Zhou Youguang's face was as black as charcoal.
He is a man who cares a lot about face. Although he is not ostentatious, he is competitive and is not inferior to others.
He has lived like this for most of his life, and now he is planning to retire, but he has lost his integrity in his later years and was betrayed by his son Zhou Jianfeng and turned into a Muggle.
A sentimental and filial son, cheating his own father online!
At this time, the eldest daughter Zhou Jinyun, who had been silent, said, "Everyone, don't get excited, calm down. Our family definitely has no intention of defrauding you of your money, and the projects we did were all real. We haven't contacted my brother in the past few days. I think he may have been delayed by something. Can you wait a little longer?"
"Wait? Wait for what? Wait for him to abscond with the money?"
"That's right. He's been missing for more than a week. God knows where he is now."
Zhou Jinyun quickly explained: "After all, the Internet in Hong Kong is different from ours. It is common for phone calls to fail. We can't contact my brother now, and we have no way to confirm the specific situation. So, when he comes back, I will notify you as soon as possible. I will repay the money I lent you, including the principal and interest."
Zhou Jinyun spoke sincerely, and since everyone was related to her, it was not a good idea to push them too hard. So, under Zhou Jinyun's persuasion, everyone left one after another and gave the Zhou family a few more days.
After everyone had left, Zhou Youguang sat down on his sofa with a dejected look on his face. He slapped the armrest fiercely and cursed loudly: "It would be better to give birth to a piece of barbecued pork than to give birth to him. I will just pretend that I don't have this son! Cough cough cough... medicine, medicine, medicine..."
Zhou Jinyun rummaged through the drawers and found a small yellow gourd, and poured out a few quick-acting heart-saving pills.
"Dad, calm down. Don't get excited. It's useless to say all this now. The most urgent thing now is to find my brother. I'm very worried about his safety. Even if we lose this time, as long as we work together, we can make it back someday."
Zhou Youguang took the medicine, took a few deep breaths, leaned back on the sofa, and stared at the ceiling with lifeless eyes. He felt exhausted, as if all his hard work and determination for most of his life had lost their meaning at this moment.
At this moment, the phone on the table rang. Zhou Jinyun hurried over and picked up the receiver: "Hello?"
"Sister, it's me."
Zhou Jinyun recognized the voice of her younger brother Zhou Jianfeng and was overjoyed. She hurriedly asked , "Ah Feng, where are you now? When will you come home?"
In an urban-rural fringe area somewhere on the western outskirts of the city, in front of a glass counter of a grocery store, Zhou Jianfeng, wearing a baseball cap, was holding a microphone furtively, his eyes constantly looking around vigilantly.
"How can I dare to go home in this situation? Sister, do you have any money? Lend me a few tens of thousands of yuan. I will go to Yunnan and Guizhou to hide first, and come back after the storm has passed."
The Yunnan-Guizhou region is now very remote and chaotic, and Zhou Jianfeng feels it is a very suitable place for him to hide now.
Maybe I can make a name for myself there.
Zhou Jinyun became anxious when she heard this, her tone full of anxiety: "What's going on? Wasn't it fine before? Can you come back first? If there is anything, let's discuss it together as a family."
In front of his sister, Zhou Jianfeng finally couldn't hold back anymore and screamed in a mental breakdown: "I can't go back! I can't go back! All my money is gone!"
