Chapter 742: Kang Yali agreed

After Li Jia and I left the hotel, I took Li Jia to where Yang Tao lives.

Upon arriving at Yang Tao's room,

Yang Tao then asked,

"Jianqiang, did you retrieve the contract?"

I waved my hand,

"Yang Tao, you know, there's another contract."

"How come there's another contract?" Yang Tao asked, confused.

"Mr. Zhao, what's going on today? Who exactly is that woman named Kang Yali, and why does she also want Da Heng Group's equity?" Li Jia also asked, puzzled.

"A woman, how come another one popped up? Jianqiang, did you stir up a fox spirit again?" Yang Tao also asked.

I smiled but didn't answer right away.

Regarding Kang Yali's matter, Yang Tao and Li Jia didn't know much about it.

I took out a cigarette, lit it, took two puffs, and simply told Yang Tao and Li Jia about Kang Yali's situation.

After hearing it, they both couldn't believe such a woman existed.

You should know, before Da Heng Group ran into trouble, Sun Dajun had gone south to look for Kang Yali.

Zhang Zong also locked up Kang Yali and Sun Dajun.

With such a big thing happening, doesn't her husband know about it?

I see that Xu Feng up there is no fool; he's quite sharp.

That is, Xu Feng knows everything Kang Yali has done.

But he hasn't shown any reaction.

Now suddenly they've popped up, still flaunting their love.

Such a story is too far-fetched.

After Yang Tao heard me finish speaking,

"Jianqiang, another 400 million appeared out of nowhere. My original 400 million was already enough trouble.

How should we handle this now?"

"How to handle it? I've already told Kang Yali I want her to have me help her prove the truth of this matter at Da Heng Group.

Then she must first give me 50 million." I said.

"What if they don't give it?" Yang Tao countered.

"If they don't give it, I won't go.

Let them toss and turn as they like; I'm not asking about anything anymore." I said, taking a drag of my cigarette.

"Fifty million isn't a small amount. I feel they won't give it." Yang Tao said.

"Yang Tao, they want 400 million; this fifty million is nothing.

It's just a drop in the bucket. They'll definitely give it.

Wait until Xiao Long and them bring over your genuine contract.

I'll hand your genuine contract to Zhuang Shi, and Zhuang Shi will give you fifty million.

That way, we'll have a hundred million in hand.

By then, the startup funds for the Xue County tourism project will be ready." I calculated.

"For the Xue County project, are we developing it ourselves?" Li Jia asked.

"We'll start it first. You know, building an ancient city requires funds of roughly over two billion.

Li Jia, this is no small amount.

Only after we get it started can others follow with investment." I told Li Jia.

"Jianqiang, we agreed—I'm an original shareholder. This fifty million is my investment, not a loan to you." Yang Tao said immediately.

"Rest assured, once the money is in hand,

we'll settle it clearly. You don't need to worry about anything. I won't run away. By the way, what do you want to eat for lunch? I'll treat you." I laughed.

"Staying in the hotel all day, I have no appetite. Just eat whatever." Yang Tao sighed.

"You still have the hotel villa; back when I fled Da Heng Group, I didn't even have a place to stay.

Let's have dumplings for lunch." I said.

"Sure, I love dumplings the most." Li Jia chimed in.

"I don't want to eat." Yang Tao said deliberately.

I was about to say something when my phone rang,

I saw it was Kang Yali calling,

"You're not going to invite me to eat, are you? I'm not going to eat your meal."

I pressed the answer key,

and Kang Yali's voice came through,

"Brother Jianqiang, where are you?"

"I'm out here; what's up, Ya Li?"

"We've already asked Mr. Liu; Mr. Liu agreed to give you fifty million first. But you must help us get this money." Kang Yali said.

"Mr. Liu agreed to give me this money first." I reiterated on the phone.

"Yeah, Mr. Liu agreed.

He said it's a small amount; as long as you're willing to help us, later we'll all get rich together.

"How will this money be given to you?" Kang Yali asked on the phone.

"Cash?" I asked.

"You want cash, right? I need to prepare for a while.

I estimate I can give it to you in the afternoon. Then I'll load the money into a business van, and you can drive it away directly," Kang Yali said.

"Alright, let's do it that way. Once we get the money, I'll help you prove the authenticity of your contract to Da Heng Group." I said cheerfully.

"Jianqiang, that's settled," Kang Yali said as she hung up.

After I put down the phone,

I said to Li Jia,

"In a moment, Kang Yali will give us fifty million. The fifty million will be loaded into a business van.

I'll drive that business van. Li Jia, you drive my car to provide support,

We'll meet at the corner of Huaihai Ancient City and transfer the money onto your car.

Then I'll drive the business van back.

You take the money to Zaocheng at top speed.

Zaocheng is only about an hour's drive from us.

At the same time, coordinate with Secretary Qin.

Have him meet you on the highway. If any trailing vehicles appear, block them and turn them back.

After I finished speaking, Li Jia seemed a bit nervous,

"Mr. Zhao, it won't be that dangerous, will it? Would they dare to rob us openly?"

"Li Jia, why would they dare give me money, and give it to me first.

This is Huaihai, their territory.

Getting the money back is easy.

Also, after you bring the money back to Zaocheng, inspect it carefully to prevent any listening devices or trackers." Li Jia nodded.

"Jianqiang, it seems taking other people's money isn't easy," Yang Tao said worriedly.

"Pretty much.

They're mainly watching me now.

What I didn't expect is that Li Jia is a very skilled driver.

Li Jia, this is why I brought you here.

I make them unable to defend themselves." I said.

Yang Tao fell silent and stared at me.

"You don't need to be so nervous. We're just being cautious. You should know that the woman we're working with is Kang Yali, and she's full of schemes,

we must keep an eye on her. Let's go, we're heading out to eat dumplings."

After I finished speaking, I took Yang Tao and Li Jia to the dumpling shop outside the hotel.

Around 4 p. m., Kang Yali called.

She said to me on the phone,

The fifty million is ready, right in the underground parking lot of Yindu Hotel.

I rented a car and went to Yindu Hotel,

Li Jia drove her car behind me, following the rental.

When we arrived at Yindu's underground parking lot,

Kang Yali and Xu Feng were indeed waiting for me.

The rear door of a business van was open,

Inside were many packages.

After Kang Yali saw me arrive,

she came forward to greet me,

"Jianqiang, look, the money is all here.

Do you still want to verify it?"

I looked at Kang Yali's smiling face and said, "Ya Li, did you know that the last time you gave me money was at Zaocheng Grand Hotel.

That time it was on behalf of Niu Ju.

This time it was on behalf of Mr. Liu.

Every time I see you,

you always bring me money.

I really feel a bit embarrassed."

Hearing me mention Niu Ju and ask Kang Yali to deliver money made her blush.

That time I disguised myself as Zhou Fuhai.

She not only delivered money, but also a person, and even brought recording equipment.

As a result, the person got beaten and got nothing.

I actually just wanted to say it to Xu Feng to see his reaction.
