Chapter 577: Snakes have their own paths, rats have their own paths
Facing the doubts of Xu Chaofan and Yu Zhendong, Xu Guojun said helplessly: "There is indeed a problem, but it is not the problem we imagined before. It is Hong Ji who caused trouble. A few days ago, a woman who seemed to know nothing came to deposit money. He and Xiao Min operated as usual and transferred more than 3 million yuan from the woman. As luck would have it, the woman came to withdraw the money just a few days after the money was deposited. Do you know who this woman is?"
Xu Chaofan asked: "Who is it?"
Yu Zhendong said impatiently, "Stop keeping you in suspense. Come on, tell me."
Xu Guojun sighed and said, "This woman is the mother of Xiaguo's richest man, Lu Yiming."
“Oh my god!”
"Are you kidding me?"
"What a coincidence?"
"What bad luck."
Anyone can be cheated, and the richest man can be cheated. Yu Zhendong and Xu Chaofan couldn't help but spit foul language.
Many financial companies have experienced the incident of absconding with money, and the matter is basically left unresolved. The victims just think they have bad luck. After all, who made you powerless?
Originally, Xu Guojun didn't take it too seriously. After all, he was about to run away, and he was more ruthless in making money than his subordinates. However, he didn't expect that his subordinates would hit a wall this time.
Why cheat on the richest man’s mother?
This is simply challenging the emperor's rule!
Several people were caught off guard by this sudden situation. After all, they were now busy transferring the huge amount of money they had lost to Hong Kong in various ways, and then further transferring the stolen money overseas by purchasing real estate, speculating in foreign exchange and stocks.
And all this takes time.
They don't want to have to wash dishes to make a living after running away. He embezzled so much money in order to live a happy life abroad.
Yu Zhendong cursed: "Damn it."
Xu Chaofan asked: "How much money has been raised?"
Xu Guojun said: "300 million US dollars have been taken out, and the remaining money has not yet been transferred."
Xu Chaofan was obviously not very satisfied with this "result" and said, "I lost a lot. So, there are still nearly 200 million left to transfer?"
It was obvious that he had already regarded the money as his own, and would feel very uncomfortable if he took a penny less.
Xu Guojun said: "How about I continue to mediate with Mr. Lu and ask the others to act as soon as possible and transfer as much money as possible before leaving?"
Xu Chaofan said, "I think it's ok. Even if it's Mr. Lu, he still has to follow the procedures. They should negotiate first. If the negotiation fails, they can call the police. It will take at least half a month to file a case. We should be quick and efficient, so there shouldn't be any problem."
However, Yu Zhendong expressed a different opinion: "You two are just fooling around. Do you know how dangerous this is? Don't be lucky. Transfer as much of the remaining money as possible and then arrange to go abroad as soon as possible. We already have a lot of money, enough for us to live a carefree life for the rest of our lives. What if..."
I didn’t say the rest because it would be unlucky. But everyone understands.
Although they were reluctant, Xu Chaofan and Xu Guojun both had to admit that Yu Zhendong's plan was the safest. After all, greed is insatiable, and it is better to be cautious. Only by stopping when you are ahead can you last long.
Xu Guojun said, "Well, everyone, get ready. It would be best if we leave within a month. After all, the longer you wait, the more trouble you will have. When the time comes, we can go to Hong Kong together in the name of vacation."
After making the agreement, the three of them left the cafe in batches.
When Lu Yiming came home from work, he found Lu Ding cooking in the kitchen, so he asked, "Where's Mom?"
Lu Ding said helplessly: "I had it in my room. I locked myself up after I came back."
Lu Yiming was helpless. Ning Xuehua was very concerned about her reputation. She had brought five million back to her hometown this time because she wanted to show off. After all, her son had become the richest man, so she didn't need to be as low-key as before. But she encountered something like this, and her mentality and emotions were not adjusted.
In the beginning, he didn't show off to relatives and friends in his hometown because he didn't want to show off his wealth. Now that Lu Yiming's wealth has been exposed, there is naturally no need for him to keep a low profile.
If a person doesn't pretend to be cool, it's like walking in fine clothes at night.
Ning Xuehua went back to her hometown this time with the intention of showing off, but she never expected that she would end up embarrassing herself in front of her relatives and friends, and she couldn't even withdraw the money she had just deposited!
Because of this, there were even rumors in the village that Ning Xuehua's brain was not keeping up with her pocket, which dealt a double blow to Ning Xuehua.
Lu Yiming pushed open the door of the room and saw Ning Xuehua lying on the bed. He sat beside the bed and peeled an apple for Ning Xuehua, comforting her and saying, "Mom, I will find a way to get the money back. Don't keep thinking about it. I will make sure that those who deserve punishment will receive the punishment they deserve."
Lu Yiming peeled the apple and handed it to Ning Xuehua, but Ning Xuehua pushed it back and said, "I have no appetite, you eat it."
"Hey, what do you mean by appetite? It's just three million, isn't it? It's not a big deal. If you ruin your health, even if I earn 30 billion, I can't make up for it. Eat quickly, or I'll get mad."
Lu Yiming stuffed the apple into Ning Xuehua's hand with a tough attitude.
The two chatted for a few more sentences, and when they saw Ning Xuehua finish eating the apple, Lu Ding came in with the food, and then Lu Yiming left.
After leaving home, Lu Yiming found a stool in the flower bed in the community and sat down. With a gloomy face, he called Li Qiu.
"Is there any way to find that Hongji and Xiaomin?"
Li Qiu said: "If I had taken so much money, I would definitely go abroad. I have some connections in China and can help you check it, but if the person goes abroad, there is nothing I can do."
After all, it was out of reach. Li Qiu's power was mainly in China, and he had basically no foreign spies. After all, these days, the confrontation between China and foreign countries was still quite intense, and it was not particularly convenient to cross borders - in fact, let alone cross borders, it was quite troublesome for ordinary people to go to Hong Kong and Macau. This was still in China, so you can imagine what it would be like to cross borders.
Lu Yiming frowned slightly and said, "No other way?"
Li Qiu smiled and said, "I mean I don't have a solution for now, but I know others have a solution. These people have committed crimes, so it is impossible for them to leave the country through formal channels. They must have smuggled. For this kind of thing, you can go to the local bosses like the Zhou family. They have connections in this regard."
"Zhou family?"
"Zhou Youguang."
When Lu Yiming heard this long-lost name, his eyes suddenly lit up and he smiled, "How could I forget about this person? Okay, I'll go find him now."
After the call, Lu Yiming called Zhao Tiezhu and drove to Zhou's house.
Zhou Youguang has old people and young children, and now four generations live together happily. Unfortunately, when Lu Yiming went to find him, Zhou Youguang was holding a family dinner, and he seemed to be recovering from the pain of losing his son. Especially after his eldest daughter Zhou Jinyun gave birth to a little grandson, he loved him very much and no longer thought about the death of his son Zhou Jianfeng.
As a result, when more than a dozen dishes were served and the aroma of food was filling the air, everyone took their seats, and then there was a knock on the door.
Zhou Jinyun, who had just served the last dish, wiped her hands on her apron and asked curiously, "Strange, why is someone coming to my house at this time?"
She walked over and opened the door, only to see Lu Yiming standing at the door holding a gift box. Her expression froze immediately, and she asked coldly, "What are you doing here?"
Zhou Youguang asked: "Ayun, who's here?"
Zhou Jinyun said: "Lu Yiming."
"What?"
Zhou Youguang suddenly stood up and walked out angrily, staring at Lu Yiming with his eyes, as if he wished his gaze could turn into two sharp blades to cut Lu Yiming into pieces.
"Lu Yiming! I didn't go looking for trouble with you, but you actually brought it to me?"
With Zhao Tiezhu behind him to help him, Lu Yiming was not panicked at all. He raised the gift box in his hand to show that he was a polite person, then smiled and said, "After all, we know each other. I want to ask Mr. Zhou to do me a favor."
Zhou Youguang said coldly: "If you don't want to help, get out."
Zhou Desheng said jokingly, "Lu Yiming, aren't you the richest man in Xia Country now? Is there anything else you need our help with?"
Lu Yiming said modestly: "No one is perfect. I just have a few bucks, nothing else matters."
Zhou Jinyun asked: "What do you want to do?"
The reason why Zhou Desheng and Zhou Jinyun did not directly reject Lu Yiming like Zhou Youguang was that although Zhou Youguang had retired and was enjoying his retirement at home, they had not. They had business to run and family businesses to manage, so they were extremely eager for connections.
In fact, everyone knows that Zhou Jianfeng's death has nothing to do with Lu Yiming. As the saying goes, everyone is busy for profit. Lu Yiming's status is different now. If Lu Yiming can bring them huge benefits, they will certainly not choose to continue to be enemies with Lu Yiming. Even countries that fight to the death can be "friendly neighbors" when it is profitable, let alone a person?
Zhou Jinyun relied on the fact that she had given birth to a big fat boy and now had the final say. She persuaded Zhou Youguang, "The past is over, and the person who killed Jianfeng was not the richest man Lu. Dad, don't bear a grudge. It's better to resolve a feud than to create one."
"snort!"
Although he still looked furious, Zhou Jinyun knew that Zhou Youguang was now wary of Lu Yiming's identity and his attitude had softened a lot.
Zhou Desheng asked: "Lu Yiming, you haven't told me what you are here for?"
Lu Yiming took out two photos and some documents from his pocket and said, "I want you to help me investigate the whereabouts of these two people."
The Zhou family made their fortune in the early years by smuggling and helping people cross the border illegally. Although they have now made a clean living, they are not unfamiliar with this industry.
"Looking for someone?"
Zhou Desheng took the photos and information and started looking at them.
Lu Yiming said, "According to our speculation, they should have gone abroad. Their identities and relationships are all in the information we can find. I'm offering a reward of 100 bonuses. Whoever can help me find them will get the bonuses. Mr. Zhou, with your means, it shouldn't be difficult to make this little money, right?"
Zhou Desheng took a quick look at the information and found that the backgrounds of these two people were not complicated, so he said: "No problem, I will spread the word right away. As long as the person left from Baiyun, we will definitely be able to find him."
In the red-light district of Siam, Southeast Asia, Hong Ji held a hot girl in scantily clad clothes in each of his arms, his hands wandering dishonestly over their bodies, causing bursts of laughter.
"I'm telling you, it won't be long before I'm an American citizen and I'm going to live in a big villa in Las Vegas. If you treat me well tonight, I can take you there to have some fun."
Hearing about the big villa in America, the two girls worked even harder and rubbed against Hongji.
After drinking a few glasses of wine, Hongji took the girl to the villa where he was staying.
Hong Ji had no idea that in the corner of the villa where he was staying, two people were looking him up and down.
One of them is called Kang Jian and the other is called Yu Rong, both of them are local hooligans. Kang Jian is older than Yu Rong and debuted earlier than Yu Rong, so Yu Rong always calls Kang Jian "big brother".
Kang Jian asked in a low voice: "Are you sure it's him?"
Yu Rong said confidently, "Yes, it must be him! Although he changed his hairstyle and grew a long beard, his appearance has not changed. Moreover, after he came to Bangkok, he neither did business nor worked. He rented a villa and lived a life of luxury. Where do you think his money came from?"
Kang Jian nodded slightly and said, "That makes sense."
Yu Rong asked expectantly, "Brother, if we catch this guy and call him back, can we really get one million?"
Kang Jian smiled and said, "You have done a great job. Don't worry, the bonus is paid by Mr. Lu, the richest man. Can you break your promise for such a small amount of money?"
Yu Rong was immediately overjoyed and had already started thinking about how to spend the money after getting it.
Although the gang would definitely take a cut of the money, he would not have had this opportunity if the gang had not helped him take on this job. Moreover, if he had made great contributions, he might be appreciated by his uncles in the future, and his career would be just around the corner!
Kang Jian took out his cell phone, called his boss, and said, "Master Song, we have found the person that Mr. Lu asked us to find."
Mr. Song was overjoyed and immediately called Zhou Desheng to tell him the good news.
Zhou Desheng called Lu Yiming again.
"Boss Lu, we've found the person you asked us to find. What do you plan to do with him?"
Lu Yiming was secretly surprised by the efficiency of the Zhou family and said, "It's only been a week and the person has been found?"
Zhou Desheng smiled and said, "It's incomparable. As the saying goes, snakes have their own paths and rats have their own paths. We can only blame him for his bad luck. He boarded Lao Song's ship and escaped to Southeast Asia."
It has to be said that money makes the world go round. One million is not a small amount of money, not to mention it's just to help find someone. Therefore, people like Mr. Song are very willing to serve a wealthy man like Lu Yiming.
In the rented villa, Hong Ji was having fun, and bursts of seductive music could be heard from the bedroom.
At this moment, the door was kicked open and Kang Jian rushed in with his two younger brothers. Hong Ji was so scared that he almost fainted. The two Siamese girls screamed and grabbed the sheets to wrap themselves around them.
Kang Jian shouted, "Stop arguing. This matter has nothing to do with you. Get out of here."
The two Siamese girls hurriedly picked up their clothes and ran out naked without even bothering to put them on.
Hong Ji thought he was being robbed. He looked at the machetes in the hands of the men and begged for mercy in Siamese with a sad face, saying, "There are 300,000 Siamese rupees and some famous watches in the room. Take them all, but don't kill me."
Kang Jian was very unhappy and cursed directly in Chinese: Damn, do I look like a bandit who robs houses?
Hong Ji glanced at the dragon and tiger tattoo on Kang Jian's arm, then looked at the two younger brothers beside Kang Jian who were equally ferocious and holding machetes in their hands, and he started cursing in his heart.
To be honest, Kang Jian and his men don't look like good people. They came to our house in the middle of the night. If they weren't here to rob us, then they couldn't be here to rape us, right?
Thinking of this, Hong Ji panicked and subconsciously covered his butt.
Kang Jian was too lazy to talk nonsense with Hong Ji, so he tied him up, stuffed two smelly socks in his mouth, put him in a sack, carried him to the van, and drove away.
The bumpy ride and the smell of his socks almost made Hongji vomit up his overnight meal.
A boat was moored by the river, but it was not a proper berth, but a natural bay. It was dark all around, and if you didn't look for it deliberately, you would never find a boat hidden in the several-meter-high reeds.
Two beams of light shone over, followed by three long and two short horn sounds. Several people who had been guarding the bed came out from the reeds, turned on their flashlights, and gestured in the air.
The van came over, Kang Jian jumped out and said, "We found the person. Brother Zhu, you will keep watch here today."
Brother Zhu watched Kang Jian's men drag Hong Ji out of the car, and immediately said with envy: "You actually found the person, what kind of shit luck do you have, you're going to make a fortune ."
Kang Jian laughed and cursed, "What a shit luck! I rely on my strength, okay? Stop talking nonsense, drive the boat to the high seas as soon as possible, and we will come back as soon as the matter is resolved. I don't want to be in the sea in the middle of the night."
When he heard that they were going to the high seas, Hong Ji struggled violently. Unfortunately, he was tied up like a dumpling and had no power to break free from the hemp ropes on his body. He could only be carried onto the boat helplessly, shedding tears of regret.
Why the hell did I have to run to this shitty place called Nanyang?
