Chapter 145: I Decide to Expose the Securitization Scam at 12 O'Clock

"Busy dealing with the Yamaguchi-gumi, and that other matter."

Luosha rolled her eyes at Lu Chen, crushed out her lady's cigarette, and then pulled out another one.

"It's time to change your Lu Sanbao identity, isn't it?"

Lu Chen gave Luosha a deep look and nodded slightly.

He spoke in a low voice.

"Publish it in the paper tomorrow: death at sea."

Luosha nodded silently, and after a while, she spoke softly.

"I will go soothe the old men on my side; you go communicate with the old men on your side in advance."

Lu Chen nodded slightly, and after a few seconds, he spoke.

"The old men on my side are clear about this new identity; all the paperwork has been handled according to that identity."

He sighed softly.

"From now on, the project and I have nothing to do with each other."

"Welcome everyone to the 1950-1951 New Year's Eve Gala, hosted by the Securitization Company and co-hosted by Crown."

Wei Er stood in the center of the venue and spoke loudly.

"Let us toast to wealth! Everyone, please enjoy this banquet."

Wei Er did not say much more and stepped down for the time being.

He kept clinking glasses and chatting with the guests around him.

His whole face was glowing.

"Chairman Lu, Director Wei Er invites you and Ms. Luosha to the Guibingshi."

Wang Jingli walked over, bowed slightly, and spoke in a low voice.

Then he looked up at Lu Chen.

Lu Chen nodded slightly, glanced at Luosha, and stood up directly.

Luosha elegantly finished the last puff of her lady's cigarette, then stood up and walked straight toward the Guibingshi.

"Welcome, you two."

Wei Er stood at the entrance of the Guibingshi, shook hands with Luosha and Lu Chen respectively, gestured for them to enter the VIP hall, and then whispered a few words to Wang Jingli.

Only then did he close the heavy door.

"Please sit wherever you like, you two; let's have a simple chat about the funding issue today."

Wei Er gave Lu Chen a Cigar, then found a sofa and sat down casually.

"During this period, we have already raised 40 billion pounds in funds."

"Currently, 7 billion has been injected into the Mud Pit Project. Chairman Lu, can your side still accept capital injections?"

Wei Er finished his warm-up, took a puff of his Cigar, and then looked up at the two of them.

"If there are no good investment projects for this capital, then I will need to transfer this money back to the mainland; you are also aware of my pressure."

Lu Chen looked at Luosha in silence and did not speak, just smoking his Cigar quietly.

After Luosha took a few puffs of her lady's cigarette, she looked at Lu Chen and then spoke softly.

"My side can accommodate 10 billion, Lu Chen's side can accommodate another 10 billion, and you take the 10 billion back to the mainland to report."

Wei Er nodded, stood up directly, walked to the door, and whispered instructions to a waiter.

Then he walked back and took out two checks.

He handed them to Lu Chen and Luosha respectively.

"We'll sign the contracts in a moment, but you can take the money first. We are all directors of Crown; with these investments, I can report back to headquarters."

"Fine, then I'll take the 10 billion. However, I can transfer the money away through an offshore company right now, right?"

Lu Chen glanced at Luosha, then looked at Wei Er.

"Of course, as long as you acknowledge it."

Luosha silently handed over the 10 billion check as well.

Lu Chen went straight out of the Guibingshi and found Steward Wang, but Wang Jingli was already gone.

The corners of Lu Chen's mouth curled up slightly.

"Get these 20 billion in funds washed into our system as quickly as possible. And the things I arranged, they are all prepared, right?"

Steward Wang took the two checks and nodded slightly.

"General Manager Zhao is handling it personally; the money will take about 2 hours to complete. I will be back before 11 o'clock."

Steward Wang glanced at his watch and left immediately.

Upon hearing that everything was prepared, Lu Chen finally let out a long sigh of relief.

Just waiting for 12 o'clock!

3 hours to go!

"Chairman Lu, why did you come out?"

Wang Jingli, adjusting his suit trousers, walked out of the restroom with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"Why haven't you left yet?"

Lu Chen, who had been preparing to go back into the Guibingshi, was stunned for a moment, then quickly asked in a low voice.

"Director Wei Er just asked me to prepare the contracts. I just brought them over; I'll leave as soon as this is done."

Wang Jingli replied hurriedly, taking two document bags sealed with a Wax Seal from the waiter.

"You wait here. I'm going in. If things don't look right in a moment, you leave on your own, go straight to my Zhuangyuan, or contact the people protecting you to pick you up. Use your own judgment."

After saying this, Lu Chen took the document bags and pushed open the door to the Guibingshi.

"Director Wei Er, what document is this? I ran into Wang Jingli just as he was about to bring it in when I walked in, so I just took it."

"Hey, it's just that 20 billion investment contract. As for what industry, you can fill in whatever you like, but there is one point: even if only 100 million remains, it must be something Crown can recover."

Wei Er was stunned for a moment, and after a few seconds, he spoke softly.

"These two transactions, you two are also aware of them. If it weren't for Miss Luosha's duties, I wouldn't have brought them out, and Crown is naturally aware of this as well."

Luosha nodded slightly, and after a few seconds, she opened the document bag.

She casually filled in an industry, which was a small casino.

Then she opened Lu Chen's document bag and filled in a restaurant.

She glanced at Lu Chen, then handed the document to Lu Chen.

Lu Chen took a quick look at the contract; there were no issues, it was just a standard loan contract, not even counting as an investment, and the collateral was what Luosha had written down.

"Director Lu, you can rest easy now, right? Don't worry, I'm handling the 7 billion investment contract the same way; after all, this is standard practice, isn't it? But there is one thing I must make clear to you: the 7 billion investment fund must eventually return 1.5 billion to Crown. Of course, this contract will give you an extra 3.5 billion."

Wei Er took a puff of his Cigar and spoke softly.

"Right now, there's no telling how long it will be before this scheme is exposed."

After Wei Er finished speaking, he sighed softly.

Then he looked at Lu Chen.

"Director Lu, you should also prepare to change your name. I have to return to the mainland to report for duty tomorrow, and I'll be back around mid-January. By then, I might not be called Wei Er; I might be called William or something similar."

Lu Chen nodded slightly and then spoke softly.

"I hope to still see you in Xianggang."

After a while, Professor Li and Director Shi also walked in, and the group chatted for another hour or so before it finally ended.

"Everyone, let's stop here for now. Tonight's banquet is about to begin, so I'll go prepare."

Wei Er bowed slightly and left the Guibingshi directly.

After Wei Er left, Lu Chen spoke softly.

"Rainbow Securitization, I have decided to expose it tonight at 12 o'clock. I have already contacted the television station, and they will interrupt the broadcast with news at midnight."

As Lu Chen's voice fell, everyone in the Guibingshi seemed to fall into a deathly silence instantly.
