Chapter 431: Greedy People Have No Bottom Line

The aunt was one hundred percent taken away by Wang Yingzhi.

That woman wanted to take the aunt away so that Sheng Hanyu would have no way to treat her, and the aunt's life was in danger.

But she was too greedy; not only did she take the person away, but she also wanted to sell the person's house.

Shi Youxuan decided not to alert the enemy.

If Wang Yingzhi wanted to sell the house, she would definitely leave contact information or return here again.

She asked the middle-aged woman if she had Wang Yingzhi's contact information.

Shi Youxuan lied, claiming she had lost her mobile phone on the way here, so even if her relatives wanted to contact her, they had no way to do so.

The middle-aged woman nodded: "I have it, I will find it for you at home."

The middle-aged woman put away her things and let Shi Youxuan go back with her to a homestay courtyard similar to the aunt's house.

"Wait for me here, I'll go in and get it."

"Okay, thank you for the trouble."

The middle-aged woman went in and came out quickly, handing her a note with a phone number written on it: "Here, young lady, it's this number."

Shi Youxuan thanked her and then went back.

There was also progress on Sheng Hanyu's side.

His connections here pulled up the nearby surveillance footage and sent it to Sheng Hanyu's phone.

The aunt was indeed taken away by Wang Yingzhi.

The neighbor was right; Wang Yingzhi passed by the intersection when it was dark, accompanied by four or five men.

They forced the aunt into a local-plated van.

Wang Yingzhi had arrived by helicopter; she was alone when she came and had not brought anyone else.

She took the aunt away shortly after arriving here, but she was accompanied by several men, and they were driving a local-plated van.

Following that was the investigation of this vehicle.

The result, however, was disappointing.

The car had fake plates, so the owner's name could not be traced at all, and there were too many such cars locally; it disappeared into the vast sea of vehicles after turning two corners, and could no longer be found.

This lead was broken.

But it didn't matter; there was still one more, which was the phone number Wang Yingzhi left behind.

Although the two were very anxious, reason still prevailed, and they did not use their own mobile phone numbers to dial that number.

Instead, they asked someone else to pose as a house hunter to call that number and negotiate the price.

While the call was being made, the two of them kept listening on the side.

Wang Yingzhi's voice came through from the other end.

"Yes, that's right, the house is mine, the property deed and ownership certificate are clear, and the transfer can be done at any time..."

"Yes, one hundred million, it must be paid in full; if it's not full payment, don't bother talking."

"What do you do for a living? Can you come up with this amount of money at once?"

Wang Yingzhi was quite cautious.

Fortunately, Shi Youxuan had written down some precautions on paper beforehand, letting the hired "actor" follow the script on the book, which was watertight.

Viewing the house was convenient because the door was not locked.

Wang Yingzhi was very generous, saying on the phone that the house could be viewed at any time, and all the furniture and everything inside would be gifted!

She had always been generous when giving away other people's things.

However, when asked when she could come over to handle the procedures, Wang Yingzhi said she was not in the local area and had gone out.

She would only be able to return in more than ten days.

Shi Youxuan and Sheng Hanyu exchanged glances; she had gone out, but where could she go?

The aunt must be with her.

Since she wanted to sell someone else's house, the aunt should be safe for the time being.

Shi Youxuan pointed to a line on the book, and the "buyer" asked: "More than ten days? That's too long, you aren't trying to raise the price on the spot, are you?"

Wang Yingzhi: "No, no, I am sincere about selling the house, I won't raise the price on the spot."

"But I can't wait that long; you aren't the only one selling a house here, so long... alright, I'll go look at others, goodbye."

Before this person could hang up, Wang Yingzhi said hurriedly on the phone: "How about this, one week, I will be back in one week at most, okay?"

"You deposit the earnest money into my card first, and this house will be considered settled."

"You don't have to worry about me raising the price, and I don't have to worry about you standing me up, how about that, very fair, right?"

It really was very "fair."

The "buyer" agreed and requested to add her on WeChat.

Wang Yingzhi refused to add WeChat, but provided a bank card number; the owner of the card was Wang Yinghao!

She was very vigilant.

Without adding WeChat, if they didn't call, they couldn't pinpoint her exact location.

Sheng Hanyu nodded in agreement, letting the "buyer" finalize the earnest money payment at fifty million, with the other half to be paid after meeting.

The call ended.

Sheng Hanyu transferred fifty million to Wang Yingzhi's account.

Shi Youxuan worried: "Giving half at once, will she just run away with the money and not come back?"

Sheng Hanyu: "No, she will definitely come back."

He still understood this woman, Wang Yingzhi.

She was greedy.

The "home buyer" paid promptly and generously, which would not make her suspicious; she would only think the "home buyer" was foolish and wealthy, and would likely even raise the price.

The two of them stayed behind.

But they did not live in the aunt's house.

The two of them disguised themselves as tourists and stayed in a homestay run by a neighbor auntie.

The neighbor's place was very close to the aunt's house; if Wang Yingzhi came here first, they would be able to spot her.

If she did not, but went to the aunt's house first instead, it would also be very easy for the two of them to discover her.

Furthermore, the "home buyer" was also staying in the homestay, making it convenient to receive calls from Wang Yingzhi at any time, so they could get the news immediately.

Besides this, Sheng Hanyu also had people inquire everywhere about the news of that van, as well as at all major stations, docks, and airports!

As long as Wang Yingzhi and Wang Yinghao appeared in these places, they would be discovered by Sheng Hanyu's people immediately.

However, two days passed.

There was no news at all.

That van was like a stone sinking into the sea; it had not been found at all.

There was also not a shred of news about Wang Yingzhi and Wang Yinghao, and she had not even called the "home buyer" again.

It was as if, just as Shi Youxuan had worried, she had taken the deposit and run off!

They did not know where the aunt had been taken, and while there was no news of Wang Yingzhi, Sheng Jiang's calls were numerous.

Phone calls, WeChat messages, and text messages.

He used every method of contact he could.

He called his son intensively every day, "harassing" him.

He could not help at all, only added to the chaos, and even wanted to come over and look for people with them!

It would be even more troublesome if he came.

It would be of no use, and it would easily alert the enemy and expose themselves.

Sheng Hanyu blocked all of his father's contact methods again, then had the bodyguards watch him, making him stay at home and unable to go anywhere.

Having been drugged by Wang Yingzhi in succession and having her escape from right under their noses, the bodyguards were holding their breath.

Now that they had been given the new order to watch Sheng Jiang, they immediately guaranteed: "Chairman, rest assured; if I fail this task again, you can twist my head off and kick it like a ball."

Sheng Hanyu: "I don't need a soccer ball that big; you must keep a close eye on him and don't let him cause any more trouble for me."

Sheng Jiang was kept strictly inside the house; he was so anxious that he threatened to hang himself or go on a hunger strike, but he still could not get out!

He didn't learn the good, but learned the bad.

After so many years, Sheng Jiang hadn't learned anything else, but instead had picked up Wang Yingzhi's way of throwing tantrums and acting shamelessly.

But he didn't even act like her when throwing a tantrum; their personalities were different, and he simply couldn't grasp the essence of Wang Yingzhi's methods!

It didn't work.

Another day passed.

Still no progress whatsoever.

Shi Youxuan was so anxious that she paced back and forth in the room; suddenly, she slapped her forehead and exclaimed: "Oh no, we overlooked a very important matter."

"Correct."

Before she could even say it, Sheng Hanyu immediately remembered—they hadn't had anyone call Wang Yingzhi in the past few days!
