Chapter 932: Ways to Respond

After listening to Xiao Feng finish speaking,

My heart trembled, and the hand holding the teacup wavered.

The teacup slipped from my hand.

It fell to the ground and shattered.

"Xiao Feng, everything you said is true," I gritted my teeth and repeated.

"Chairman Zhao, how could I dare deceive you?

I've been pondering this matter all along,

you've been so kind to me, so trusting.

And they fled to Hainan; what am I to do?

If I take this 50 million, I'll go straight to prison.

Chairman Zhao, what kind of person are you,

in my eyes, you're extremely awesome.

Having endured so many blows, you have never been knocked down.

and you even exploited Kang Yali.

Zhao Xiaohua's meager abilities mean nothing to you; even if he runs off to Hainan, what does that matter?

"Chairman Zhao, I'm the one on the right path with you," Xiao Feng immediately said.

I gestured and said,

"Xiao Feng, thank you for revealing such crucial information to me.

Otherwise, I would have remained in the dark.

Zhao Xiaohua, I trusted him greatly, which is why I entrusted this important matter to him. I never expected him to act like this.

Xiao Feng, when did he tell you to transfer the money out?" I looked at Xiao Feng and asked.

"Before 5 p. m. this afternoon," Xiao Feng replied.

"Did you bring the accounts that need to be transferred?" I said.

"Got them; they're all the building‑material merchants from our Zaocheng," Xiao Feng said, then pulled a notebook from his bag, listing several accounts and numbers.

I glanced at it and handed it back to Xiao Feng.

"How much money did Kang Yali transfer in total?" I took a drag of my cigarette.

"A total of 450 million, transferred into eleven accounts.

All the contracts were forged by Zhao Xiaohua," Xiao Feng added, then produced a laptop.

He opened it, ready to show me the money in the accounts.

I nodded,

"The money is now in these accounts, right?" I asked.

"Yes, but the U Shield is in Zhao Xiaohua's hands; without his command I can't open the accounts or transfer funds. His U Shield is dynamic.

In a moment, Zhao Xiaohua will come looking for me," Xiao Feng said.

"Transferring from these accounts to other corporate accounts, then from there to their private accounts— isn't that redundant?" I asked, not understanding.

"Chairman Zhao, that's how it works.

He has already prepared the contracts,

and there are debt agreements between these companies and those companies.

Once the money arrives, it can be transferred out for repayment.

This is what he prepared for after you file a report, so that it can be traced.

And after you find out, you'll certainly question this matter; he has already thought out his excuse, which is that he didn't anticipate these accounts being insecure.

It was those building‑material merchants that screwed him over.

Then he shifted the blame onto the building‑material merchants who helped him open the accounts," Xiao Feng explained.

I never expected Zhao Xiaohua to be so shameless.

He schemes against me at every turn,

I thought he had changed, or that after the Da Heng Group incident he would have matured.

But I didn't expect that he not only remained unchanged, but also intensified his behavior.

He digs pits for me everywhere.

The money transferred out from the Da Heng Group, after passing through his hands several times,

became his legitimate income.

Then his family took the money and went to Hainan to live carefree days.

Leaving me to clean up the mess.

And after I found out,

he will surely kneel and admit fault again, shifting the blame onto the building‑material merchants.

What can I do?

If I beat him up, will that solve the problem?

It solves nothing.

He has already planned an escape route.

This Zhao Xiaohua is treating me like a monkey.

Fortunately, I met Xiao Feng in advance for a private discussion; otherwise,

the over 400 million would have vanished again.

I was smoking at this time,

Looking at Xiao Feng, he said: "Xiao Feng, does Zhao Xiaohua know about our relationship?"

Xiao Feng shook his head,

"I have never mentioned you in front of him."

"He doesn't know about our relationship."

"Then that's good; we'll handle this matter like this."

You go help Zhao Xiaohua transfer the money.

"Don't reveal it in front of Zhao Xiaohua." I arranged.

"Chairman Zhao, if I help him transfer the money, then the money will be transferred away." Xiao Feng said, somewhat confused.

"It won't be transferred; at that time, give me the account to which the money is to be transferred into the company."

I will arrange for someone to restrict the outflow.

This money will first be retained within those few companies.

"At that time, the bank people will explain it to him." I said.

"Chairman Zhao, I don't understand,"

"Why do we have to do it this way?" Xiao Feng said.

"There's no why. You just need to know."

"He can't take the money."

"Xiao Feng, you need to pay attention to safety."

"Alright, you can go; I won't see you out. Give me the accounts of those few companies." I said to Xiao Feng.

Xiao Feng looked at me, not understanding, then tore out the recorded accounts from his notebook and gave them to me.

After I received them, I glanced at them and put these accounts into my pocket.

Xiao Feng stood up and said goodbye to me.

I stood up and saw Xiao Feng to the door.

I returned to the room,

sat alone in a private room of the teahouse,

began smoking, thinking about this matter.

Zhao Xiaohua disappointed me greatly.

He has disappointed me to the extreme.

I trusted him so much and entrusted him with such an important matter; as a result, he is scheming against me again.

All brotherhood is bullshit.

In the face of profit, there is no loyalty at all.

No matter what, I will act against Zhao Xiaohua.

I will deal harshly with Zhao Xiaohua.

Before, out of brotherly feeling, I was unwilling to act against him.

Now it's different; he repeatedly crosses my bottom line.

He uses my trust to chill my heart.

In fact, dealing with Zhao Xiaohua is simple; I can arrest him right now.

Whether using open or covert methods, both are possible.

I don't want to see him crying and repenting in front of me again.

Hmph, it's meaningless.

I will use someone else's hands to deal with him; I will give him a harsh lesson.

I was thinking in my heart,

Ah, this Zhao Xiaohua.

It would be great if we struggled together, but he always tramples on my dreams and laughs.

Some people are like that; the nicer you are to them, the more they think you're stupid.

I am that foolish brother; it's only right that I devote my life to him.

There is no such thing as 'should' in the world.

No matter how close the brothers,

none of them should.

Thinking this, I stubbed out the cigarette butt in the ashtray hard.

Then I stood up and walked out the door.

After stepping outside, I didn't go back to the hotel; I went directly to Tian Shi's office.

I want to meet with him and talk about this matter.

Ask him to help supervise these accounts.

Because these accounts are opened at the Four Major Banks,

some connections I cannot reach; unless Tian Shi steps in to resolve it.

First, put the money in this account.

I will wait for Xiao Shitou to finish his side, then move the money.

Tian Shi was already waiting for me in the office,

As soon as I entered, he laughed and said: "Jianqiang, we had arranged to meet in the evening; why are you rushing over now? Do you want to drink? We agreed no drinking at noon."

"Tian Shi, we don't drink alcohol, I have important matters to report to you." I finished speaking, took out a cigarette and handed it to Tian Shi.

Tian Shi took it over,

"What's the matter. Jianqiang, you speak."

"Tian Shi, help a bit, temporarily freeze these banks' accounts." I placed the paper Xiao Feng gave me in front of Tian Shi.

"Why freeze these accounts? These are accounts opened at the Four Major Banks." Tian Shi looked and asked.

"It's like this, Tian Shi, some people have ideas about our money."

"Kang Yali has already transferred 450 million to our Zaocheng company's account. But some people want to transfer this sum to these banks." I said.
