Chapter 432: Wang Yingzhi Has Returned

~8 min read 1,526 words

This is a bug.

It was a rather fatal bug, so the two of them immediately put their heads together to discuss a remedy, and finally decided unanimously—send someone to try calling!

"I'm sorry, the number you have dialed is not in service area..."

Only then did the two of them let out a long sigh of relief.

That's a relief.

Although they still couldn't be completely at ease, at least it proved that Wang Yingzhi hadn't called, and it wasn't because she was suspicious, but because there was no signal.

Two more days passed.

Wang Yingzhi and Wang Yinghao had been out of contact for a full five days, and there was still not a shred of news.

Even Sheng Hanyu, who was so resolute and had everything calculated, was feeling a bit restless.

He couldn't even sit still in the room, pacing back and forth whenever he had nothing to do.

He also kept checking his phone, or the "home buyer's" phone, terrified that there might be a problem with the call or no signal, causing him to miss Wang Yingzhi's call.

"Ring-a-ling—"

The ringtone they had been longing for finally sounded, and the screen displayed Wang Yingzhi's number.

"Quick, go call him." Sheng Hanyu was a bit agitated, his voice even changing pitch.

Shi Youxuan ran out quickly, went to the next room to drag the "home buyer" over, and let him answer the phone.

"Hello, tomorrow I will arrange for someone to go and handle the transfer procedures with you. You transfer the other half of the house payment to me today, and then give the person who comes tomorrow ten million." Wang Yingzhi said on the phone.

Her voice sounded a bit tired, but she seemed very pleased.

"The price went up?"

Wang Yingzhi: "Yes, it went up. Someone offered me two hundred million for that house. I'm regretting it so much now that I agreed to sell the house to you. You just need to give me another ten million."

Sheng Hanyu guessed right; she really did raise the price at the last minute.

Sheng Hanyu shook his head.

Shi Youxuan quickly wrote a few words on a piece of paper and handed it to the "home buyer".

"No, how can something that's already been decided just change like that? I don't agree to the price increase, and if you don't come back, how can this house be transferred?"

Wang Yingzhi: "At eight o'clock tomorrow morning, my people will go over, and they will naturally be able to handle the transfer procedures for you."

A moment later, she added: "It's the same whether I go or they go; I'm not the homeowner."

Wang Yingzhi was too carried away by her success; mainly because things had gone too smoothly these past few days, she had eliminated a major threat, and she was feeling incredibly smug inside.

Home buyer: "You're not the homeowner? Then return the deposit to me, otherwise I'll go report it to the police and accuse you of fraud."

Wang Yingzhi: "Of course I'm the homeowner. I was joking with you and you took it seriously? But I'm letting someone else handle the procedures for you; I have something to do and can't go."

"What kind of important business do you have? You can't even come back to sell a house? No, I only deal with the homeowner. If someone else comes, it won't work. One hundred million is not a small amount. If there's trouble later, I won't even have time to cry."

"If you don't come back, I don't want this house anymore. You return the fifty million to me."

Shi Youxuan gave him a thumbs up.

The "plant" they hired was good; the person was very sharp.

He could even draw inferences about other cases; Shi Youxuan only wrote a few words, and he could extend them to the correct meaning.

The meaning was not wrong at all, and it sounded natural, very reasonable and logical.

But Wang Yingzhi had been a scoundrel her whole life and wouldn't be scared into submission by just a word or two.

Refunding the money was absolutely impossible. Once the money entered her bank card, it was like a meat bun thrown at a dog—if you wanted it back, keep dreaming.

Wang Yingzhi's tone was very impatient: "Why are you so troublesome? You're buying a house, not going on a blind date with me. You insist on seeing the homeowner. As long as the procedures are handled for you and the house is yours, that's all that matters."

"No, don't try to fool me. If the homeowner isn't there in person, the house transfer can't be processed at all. I'm not a child; I understand this procedure."

Wang Yingzhi: "You can get the property deed even if I don't go; it's possible."

Home buyer: "I don't believe it."

The two sides were at a stalemate, and talking for a long time was useless.

The "home buyer" told Wang Yingzhi: "Don't think that just because I transferred those fifty million to your card, it's your money. I'll tell you clearly: I have people at the bank, and I can freeze your account in a minute..."

Wang Yingzhi compromised: "Fine, I'll go back tomorrow."

The next morning at eight o'clock.

The "home buyer" had been waiting at the courtyard gate for more than half an hour, but Wang Yingzhi still hadn't appeared.

Calling her again resulted in her phone being off. Everyone kept silent, but they were all worried about one thing in their hearts—they were afraid she would go back on her word!

That woman was always going back on her word.

Although she had agreed quite well yesterday, after a night had passed, who knew what kind of rotten idea she had come up with again.

Eight-ten.

There was still no one at the intersection.

Eight-thirty passed, and there was still not a single person.

Shi Youxuan was a bit nervous, and Sheng Hanyu comforted her: "Don't worry, that woman will definitely appear."

"How are you so sure?"

He replied: "Because the money in her card is still there, and the card has already been frozen, so Wang Yingzhi will definitely appear. Keep calm and don't be impatient."

Sheng Hanyu had already set up an inescapable net; as soon as Wang Yingzhi appeared, she could be locked down immediately.

"She's here."

He grabbed Shi Youxuan's hand suddenly, with great force, hurting her hand.

She didn't make a sound, knowing the man was nervous.

Don't look at how calm he was on the surface these past few days; in reality, he was more anxious than anyone.

Others might not be able to tell, but Shi Youxuan knew clearly in her heart.

That white van appeared in the surveillance footage again, only this time the license plate number was different; it had been changed.

The van stopped at the alley entrance, and several burly men got out of the vehicle first.

The few men got out and looked around, likely observing whether there was any danger nearby, watching for a full few minutes.

Only after confirming everything was fine did the leading man knock on the car door twice!

The car door opened again, and Wang Yingzhi finally stepped out of the vehicle.

But it was only her; Wang Yinghao was not with her.

These men had been here before; it was them who took her aunt away last time!

Surrounded by the few men, Wang Yingzhi walked toward the courtyard gate.

From afar, she saw the "home buyer" standing alone at the entrance, dialing his mobile phone over and over, looking very anxious.

Wang Yingzhi walked over: "Are you Mr. Huang? I am the homeowner, here to handle the paperwork with you."

"That's great, you've finally come. Let's go, I left my things inside, let's go in and talk."

Wang Yingzhi did not realize it was a trap; after all, her men had already observed the area, and she only got out of the car after confirming it was safe.

But as soon as the group walked in, the courtyard gate suddenly slammed shut, and before they could react, quite a few bodyguards in black suits and sunglasses rushed out from every room—there were dozens of them!

"What are you doing? Robbery?"

Wang Yingzhi blustered and yelled: "This is a society ruled by law, you are being too arrogant in broad daylight. Let me go, get out of the way immediately!"

She wanted to escape, but it was not that easy.

The courtyard gate opened again, and Sheng Hanyu and Shi Youxuan walked in.

When Wang Yingzhi saw the two of them, her expression changed immediately.

First came panic, and large beads of sweat rolled down her face.

However, she calmed down very quickly.

With a fake smile on her face, Wang Yingzhi pretended to be surprised and walked toward the two: "Hanyu, Xuanxuan, why are you here? Let me introduce you."

She pulled the fierce-looking man beside her in front of the two: "You should call him Xi Fu; he is your aunt's former brother-in-law and is now her husband."
