Chapter 421: Ten Million

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Gu Chen seemed somewhat puzzled; he couldn’t understand the connection between this matter and Zhao Li. He had already imposed sanctions on the Zhao family, confident that within a month or two, the Zhao family would be completely ousted from the capital. However, he didn’t expect Zhao Li to still have time and energy to deal with Song Fan.

Sensing his confusion, Lan Yue explained, “I checked Meng Xia’s account. She originally only had a few thousand in savings, but before the banquet, Zhao Li contacted her, transferring several hundred thousand dollars to her. However, the money was all spent. The hundred thousand transferred to Chen Jun was from another source that Zhao Li used to transfer to Meng Xia. She then had someone hack Meng Xia’s account and embezzled her funds.”

Unless it was a cash transaction, as long as there was a record in the banking system, Lan Yue could trace the source of every penny. Initially, she thought that Miss Meng was Meng Xia, so she overlooked the source of this money.

However, Meng Xia had also disappeared, forcing Lan Yue to mobilize all her brain cells to continuously trace the clues of this matter. Fortunately, her all-night effort didn’t go in vain.

With a furrowed brow, Gu Chen walked over, and Lan Yue showed him the information she found on the computer. “This is what I obtained by hacking into the banking system. I know the hacker Zhao Li hired before. Hmph, if I weren’t so worried about Boss, how could his meager skills deceive me?”

Feeling that they were deviating from the topic, Lan Yue cleared her throat and continued, “Mr. Gu, don’t look for Meng Xia for now. If we find Zhao Li, we can trace back to the boss. I’ve already located Zhao Li’s phone; she’s in A City.” 𝔣𝖗𝔢𝖊𝔴𝖊𝔟𝔫𝔬𝖛𝔢𝖑.𝔠𝔬𝔪

“My people are already searching in the surrounding villages. I’ll go find Zhao Li now, handling both matters simultaneously.” Gu Chen grabbed his coat and headed out.

Su Yang quickly followed, even though he hadn’t fully recovered. Thinking about Song Fan’s current situation and looking at Gu Chen’s icy expression, Su Yang knew he had to follow along.

Meanwhile, Zhao Li, unaware that she had been exposed, was angrily calling Chen Jun, but couldn’t get through.

“Scammer! This despicable person took my money and dared not to answer my calls!” Furious, she tossed her phone onto the bed and paced back and forth.

To ensure she could deal with Song Fan properly, Zhao Li had already come to A City. At this moment, she was in the villa she rented, with her bodyguards downstairs.

When her phone on the bed rang, she answered without even looking. She began berating, “You fool, do you want to die? Do you want to go to hell with that wretched Song Fan? Are you trying to deceive me? Not only will you die, but your daughter will die too!”

“Miss Zhao, your temper is a bit too much, isn’t it?” Meng Xia’s voice sounded, causing Zhao Li to immediately fall silent. She looked at the unknown number on her phone, suddenly feeling a sense of inexplicable fear.

She had stolen Meng Xia’s account for future framing and framing. Wasn’t Meng Xia supposed to have disappeared? Why would she contact her?

As if guessing Zhao Li’s thoughts, Meng Xia, with some concern, said, “You kidnapped my sister, but you can’t even find her. However, since you used my account, what if the whole scheme is exposed? Miss Zhao, your calculations are quite ambitious.”

“What do you want?” Zhao Li’s voice trembled, but she persisted, “Let me tell you! You’re just an adopted daughter of the Song family! You’re nothing!”

“Yes, I am nothing. But soon, you’ll be even less than me.” Meng Xia didn’t say much. Instead, she played the recording of their previous conversation, “I have as much evidence as I need, including the money you gave me and the video evidence from the banquet.”

Zhao Li had always thought that a woman like Meng Xia loved money and couldn’t possibly be so scheming. However, she never considered that a woman who could smoothly become the adopted daughter of the Song family wouldn’t be that easy to deal with.

Zhao Li was already a bit uneasy. Earlier this morning, her mother called, talking to her about the worsening situation of the Zhao family. If the current trend continued, the company would have to declare bankruptcy. If what she did to kidnap Song Fan was known by Gu Chen, the Zhao family might not even have a chance to declare bankruptcy.

But since Meng Xia called her instead of directly giving the evidence to Gu Chen, there must be some ulterior motive. Zhao Li could only calm down a bit and asked, “What do you want? Money?”

“Ten million.” Meng Xia straightforwardly stated, “I know you have the money, even if the Zhao family goes bankrupt, you still have ten million. Just give me ten million, and I’ll keep my mouth shut. I’ll completely ignore the fact that Song Fan was kidnapped by you.”
