Li Xiulan

To be honest, the Wang family brothers' Shanhai Real Estate was indeed caught up in this, and it was quite unfair.

But there's no choice; sometimes reality is just this cruel—whether you're innocent or not, no one cares.

What's more, the Wang family brothers claiming innocence isn't entirely true either.

Who made them tie their company's lifeline so deeply to Xu Mingxin?

Only a week had passed since Wang Dashan called home and verbally promised to bring back three hundred thousand for the Spring Festival, and this happened.

At first, Xu Mingxin told Wang Dashan that the higher-ups at Anjia Real Estate were watching him closely lately, and for a while he might not be able to send clients to him anymore, and they could only cooperate again after things cooled down.

Wang Dashan didn't take it seriously, thinking it was just a small matter.

As long as Xu Mingxin was still at Anjia Real Estate, he wouldn't panic at all.

But only a few days had passed when Xu Mingxin called again:

"Brother, things are serious; I think I'm finished."

Wang Dashan was stunned and hurriedly asked:

"Brother Xu, what happened?"

Xu Mingxin said:

"I don't know which bastard leaked the matter of me sending benefits to your Shanhai Real Estate, and even handed the evidence over to the higher-ups at Anjia Real Estate. I'm being investigated on my end, and I've already spent a lot of money on networking, hoping to pull through. If I can't, I reckon we'll both be in the same boat."

"In the same boat?" Wang Dashan was stunned. "Brother Xu, I don't understand what you mean..."

Xu Mingxin gave a dry laugh:

"Still don't get it? I privately pulled so many clients from Anjia Real Estate to your side, which already involves commercial crime. Now it depends on how the higher-ups at Anjia Real Estate decide. If my money isn't spent properly and can't satisfy them all, they'll hire a professional legal team to sue us, and then you and I will not only have to return double what we earned, but also go to prison!"

Wang Dashan's heart sank immediately, his eyes widened, and he was somewhat bewildered.

He never expected things to be this serious!

"Damn it, there must be a traitor among us; otherwise they couldn't have gotten the evidence!"

Xu Mingxin was still cursing indignantly.

But Wang Dashan's head was buzzing, he was extremely flustered, as if he hadn't heard Xu Mingxin cursing.

"What should we do?"

Wang Dashan had just promised his father last week that he'd give three hundred thousand for the Spring Festival.

Who would have thought such a big hole would appear now!

"What else can we do? Spend money to avert disaster. If spending money can't avert the disaster, then we can only leave it to fate!"

Xu Mingxin said this, and then he also said:

"Brother, I've been networking up and down lately and spent a lot of money. I really have no cash on hand. Can you lend me some?"

Wang Dashan had no choice but to refuse.

Because if Xu Mingxin went down, he'd go down with him.

So he asked:

"How much do you want?"

Xu Mingxin said:

"Give me two hundred thousand first. If that's not enough, I'll come borrow more from you. If things work out, I'll pay you back next year."

Xu Mingxin was truly out of options, which was why he came to ask Wang Dashan for a loan.

Wang Dashan was definitely unwilling to lend it in his heart, so he weakly asked:

"By the way, does your sister have no money either? Didn't she hook up with that local tycoon Ou Jiajie? Can't we have your sister borrow some from Ou Jiajie? Ou Jiajie giving us a few hundred thousand would be like a drop in the bucket."

Not mentioning this was fine, but once mentioned, Xu Mingxin became even more flustered:

"Don't mention Ou Jiajie to me anymore. That old fox Ou Jiajie—fine, he freeloaded off my sister, but damn it, he actually sent my sister a lawyer's letter, planning to sue her for extortion!"

"Ah? How did this happen?"

Wang Dashan was greatly surprised.

Xu Mingxin truthfully said:

"Earlier Ou Jiajie was avoiding my sister. My sister got angry and went to him to break up, and demanded a breakup fee from him. But that old thing Ou Jiajie has no martial virtue—when giving my sister the breakup fee, he secretly recorded it. Now he's taking the recording to court to sue my sister for extortion. The evidence is solid, and I reckon my sister is probably finished too, because now she's returned the breakup fee she demanded from Ou Jiajie, but Ou Jiajie still won't let her go."

Hearing this, Wang Dashan was even more surprised.

It was only now that he realized—no wonder Xu Mingmei hadn't come to work these past few days.

Before, he hadn't noticed anything, because Xu Mingmei at Shanhai Real Estate just held a nominal position, coming and going freely, not under Wang Dashan and Wang Erhai's control. The two brothers didn't pay much attention to Xu Mingmei, and her not coming to the company every few days was common.

Who would have thought such a big thing had happened this time.

And Wang Dashan only found out so late.

Xu Mingxin sighed deeply at this point, his tone becoming old and powerless:

"Truly, when it rains, it pours! I never expected that, with the Spring Festival approaching, misfortunes would come one after another. My sister being sued by Ou Jiajie for extortion is bad enough, but now I'm also being watched by the higher-ups at Anjia Real Estate, and I'm in a precarious position too!"

Xu Mingxin put away his grief, and at this point changed the subject:

"Brother, there must be a traitor within us. Otherwise, how could the higher-ups at Anjia Real Estate know about our matters? You must help me find out exactly who betrayed us. That traitor must pay a heavy price!"

Wang Dashan hurriedly nodded in agreement:

"Okay, okay, I'll definitely look into it properly later!"

Xu Mingxin said:

"I'll give you a bank account; transfer two hundred thousand to it right now. Don't be unwilling—if something happens to me, both you brothers are finished. We're grasshoppers on the same rope now, sharing life and death, so don't be reluctant to spend money."

Wang Dashan could only say:

"I'll call you back in a moment, Brother Xu. Don't lose heart; we'll definitely get through this crisis."

Although Wang Dashan spoke words of comfort, in reality he himself had no confidence.

Anjia Real Estate is a big enterprise; not only is its business scope broad, but its influence is also great. If they really come with evidence to manipulate Shanhai Real Estate and Xu Mingxin, it's estimated they'll crush them with one pinch, after all Shanhai Real Estate is nothing but a small ant before Anjia Real Estate.

To put it unpleasantly, let alone having evidence—even without evidence, if they want to destroy Shanhai Real Estate, it's as easy as turning over one's hand.

So after Wang Dashan hung up Xu Mingxin's phone call, he immediately transferred two hundred thousand to Xu Mingxin.

Under these circumstances, he could only hope that Xu Mingxin could pull strings, make a big thing small, and make a small thing nothing.

Apart from this, there was no other way.

Wang Dashan was absent-mindedly having wild thoughts when his mobile phone rang again.

Upon taking it out, it was actually Ou Jiajie calling!

Wang Dashan didn't understand why Ou Jiajie would call him, but he was like a drowning man, taking Ou Jiajie as a life-saving straw rope, thinking perhaps Ou Jiajie could help him get through the crisis!

So he hurriedly answered the phone:

"Hello, Mr. Ou, what business do you have with me?"

While Wang Dashan greeted Ou Jiajie, he was still thinking about how to open his mouth to seek help from Ou Jiajie.

But the first sentence Ou Jiajie spoke directly left Wang Dashan completely dumbfounded.

"General Manager Wang, I want to acquire your Shanhai Real Estate, opening bid ten thousand. Sell Shanhai Real Estate to me."

Ou Jiajie's tone carried jest, not like he was consulting Wang Dashan's opinion, but rather like he was notifying Wang Dashan.

"Mr. Ou, your opening bid of ten thousand—are you serious?"
