Chapter 121: Feizai Injured?

Lu Chen patted Xiao Wang on the shoulder and spoke softly.

"When you get back to the company, find your General Manager Chen and have him issue you a bonus; just tell him Mr. Lu told you to."

After saying this, Lu Chen got out of the car and went straight into Chen Mo's car.

Although the road was still very bumpy, fortunately, there were no mishaps, and they drove out of the Nitan.

Only then did Lu Chen truly relax.

"Give a bonus to the person who just drove us out."

"Understood, boss. Things were a bit unusual over there today; I think I saw Feizai."

Chen Mo nodded after a moment and spoke softly.

"Would you like to make an appointment to see Feizai?"

"No rush, let's go to the Saimachang."

Lu Chen closed his eyes and spoke softly.

He tapped his fingers lightly on the seat.

"Tomorrow, go and make an appointment with Feizai for the day after tomorrow."

"Understood."

The car silently turned around and headed toward the Saimachang.

After watching a horse race, Lu Chen returned to the Zhuangyuan.

"Sir, Wang Jingli from Crown is here."

Steward Wang knocked lightly on the study door and bowed slightly.

Lu Chen nodded slightly, put down his newspaper, stood up, and walked out of the study.

"Chairman Lu."

Wang Jingli had several boxes placed by his feet.

He stepped forward to shake hands.

"I've brought the money for you."

Lu Chen reached out to shake hands with Wang Jingli, sat in the main seat, and tossed him a Cigar.

He lit one for himself as well, and only after Wang Jingli had taken a few puffs did he speak.

"What's the situation over at Crown recently?"

"I came here today specifically to talk to you about this."

Wang Jingli's expression was not very good; he glanced at the door.

Only then did he speak softly.

"Wei Er has moved out about 6.5 billion pounds recently; it's unclear exactly where it went. The capital pool is now approaching 40 billion."

Wang Jingli sighed and took a puff of his Cigar.

"With such a large amount of capital, if it really crashes, I'll definitely be dead. I only hope Chairman Lu can keep his promise and let my wife and children escape unscathed."

Lu Chen reached out and patted Wang Jingli, a faint smile on his face.

"Rest assured, as long as you work well, Wei Er won't do anything to you. As for the crash, my promise will not fail."

Lu Chen paused, took a few more puffs of his Cigar, and then continued.

"Wei Er hasn't moved any other funds?"

"No, at least from the company's accounts, only these two transactions have gone out: one for 3.5 billion and one for 3 billion moved yesterday. The rest of the funds are still sitting in the company's accounts for now, but..."

Wang Jingli glanced at Lu Chen, hesitating, and after taking several deep puffs of his cigarette, he continued.

"I'm afraid if Wei Er wants to move them, he could move everything in an instant."

Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, his fingers tapping silently on the armrest. After a long while, he spoke softly.

"It's fine, Wei Er's funds won't be able to escape. Just rest assured. If he moves the funds, just notify me immediately."

"I'm afraid I can't control this matter. Yesterday, Wei Er signed a pile of blank documents; if he wants to transfer money, one document is enough."

A trace of lingering fear slowly appeared on Wang Jingli's face, and it was a long while before he spoke.

"Now, most of Wei Er's affairs no longer go through me."

"It's fine, just protect yourself. If it really comes to it, just pull out directly. I've already made arrangements for your family. Starting today, there will be people on the perimeter of Crown ready to meet you at any time."

Lu Chen frowned. After several minutes, he took a few puffs of his Cigar and exhaled a cloud of smoke.

He looked at Wang Jingli and then spoke softly.

"As long as you can get out of Crown, you'll be safe."

After a long while, Lu Chen added.

"You don't need to worry about what Wei Er is trying to do. From now on, record every single thing Wei Er notifies you about regarding this matter."

"Alright."

Wang Jingli listened silently to Lu Chen's arrangements and nodded gently in agreement.

The fear on his face had dissipated quite a bit now.

"If Wei Er still has use for me, I will record everything. But I feel like you probably won't have any use for these things."

"As long as it's information, it's useful."

Lu Chen patted Wang Jingli and spoke softly.

His face remained calm, but a trace of gravity flashed in his eyes.

"By the way, I almost forgot: the weekly gathering for Wei Er's board of directors has started again, and you are also on the list of invitees."

Wang Jingli patted his forehead and then pulled Wei Er's Invitation Letter from his pocket.

He handed it to Lu Chen with both hands.

Lu Chen frowned, but still took it.

"Fine, if I'm free, I'll be there on time."

Lu Chen nodded slightly and spoke in a low voice.

"Hm? It's actually a yacht party this time?"

"Yes, a yacht party. The invited guests are quite mysterious; I've never attended one either. There are probably fewer than 20 people invited."

Wang Jingli looked at Lu Chen's expression, paused for a moment, and then spoke softly to explain.

After chatting for a while longer, Lu Chen saw Wang Jingli off.

Only then did he sigh softly.

He returned to the study and picked up the phone.

"Luosha, do you know what Wei Er's yacht party is?"

Lu Chen waited for a good while until Luosha answered the phone, then asked in a low voice.

"Just go as usual. Professor Li, Chairman Shi, and I are all on the invitation list, along with some government officials and peers from Crown; it's a gathering mainly for foreigners."

Luosha was silent for a moment before speaking softly.

"It's mainly to discuss some interbank capital allocation issues and the synchronization of certain policies. It makes sense that you were invited too."

"Fine, I will attend on time."

Lu Chen nodded slightly, a trace of confusion flashing in his eyes.

Logically speaking, Lu Chen probably shouldn't be able to reach this kind of gathering.

After all, what is his current strength?

Lu Chen understood this very clearly in his heart.

If he wasn't the person worth inviting, then it must be the project!

Lu Chen tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest, and after a long while, he sighed.

It seems the yacht party is a trap!

And he can't decline it; after all, if he were to decline, who knows what agreements might be reached inside that would be unfavorable to him.

Even with Luosha, Chairman Shi, and Professor Li helping, the three of them are ultimately in the minority.

I'm afraid that as long as the vast majority agree, the three of them can only acquiesce.

If he goes, he can at least propose a plan that is relatively favorable to him, or at worst, at least know how to "slack off."

Lu Chen stood up and looked at the bustling Victoria Harbour outside the window.

"Bang, bang, bang."

Chen Mo walked over just as Lu Chen turned around.

"Boss, it's set with Feizai for tomorrow afternoon at Zhonghuan Chashi."

Chen Mo paused before adding another sentence.

"Feizai suffered some superficial injuries, nothing serious, but Nitan is indeed a bit chaotic, and I saw Bureau Chief Zhang taking police officers into Nitan."

Lu Chen nodded slightly, a hint of gravity flashing in his eyes.

"Go see your daughter, and accompany me to meet Feizai tomorrow."
