Chapter 3091: A Super Big Sucker

At this moment, Xiao Changkun had already regarded Master Hong Wu as his last straw.

Although he always kept Ye Chen on his lips in his conversations with Zhang Ermao and Chairman Pei, as if he would call Ye Chen at any minute, he actually didn't dare to call Ye Chen for help with this kind of thing.

After all, what he did was a deceptive act. How could he bring this up to Ye Chen?

Opening this mouth to Ye Chen would be equivalent to his daughter, Xiao Churan, knowing about it. How would the young couple look at him? Wouldn't he have to keep his head down at home from now on?

So, for now, he could only seek help from Master Hong Wu to see if he could ask Master Hong Wu to come forward and help.

But what he didn't know was that Hong Wu was by Ye Chen's side at this moment.

Ye Chen had already anticipated Xiao Changkun's next move. When his father-in-law found that he couldn't suppress Zhang Ermao, he would definitely find a way to find someone who could suppress Zhang Ermao.

Hong Wu became the best candidate at this time!

Sure enough.

Hong Wu's phone rang quickly.

And the one calling was Xiao Changkun.

He didn't rush to answer the phone, but looked at Ye Chen and asked carefully: "Master Ye, should I say what you instructed later?"

Ye Chen nodded.

Hong Wu asked again: "Should I be a bit softer in tone and attitude?"

"No need." Ye Chen said indifferently: "My father-in-law never understands what it means to stop while ahead. I introduced you two to each other and let you support him, wanting him to be more relaxed in Jin Ling and have some face when socializing outside. But this time he really went too far. If this continues, I'm afraid my father-in-law will go further and further astray. This time, I have to use some force to pull him back to the right track."

Hong Wu said hurriedly: "Alright, Master Ye, I understand."

After speaking, he pressed answer and simultaneously turned on the speakerphone.

As soon as the call connected, Xiao Changkun said impatiently: "Master Wu, it's me, Xiao Changkun, Master Wu!"

Hong Wu gave a hum and said: "Mr. Xiao, do you have something to find me for?"

Xiao Changkun said hurriedly: "It's like this, Master Wu. Ermao posted a Moments post. I don't know if you've seen it?"

Hong Wu said indifferently: "I saw it. What's wrong?"

Xiao Changkun said awkwardly: "Master Wu, to tell you the truth, although the content of his Moments post is mostly the actual situation, the key is that this bad idea of cheating people was Zhang Ermao's. I was completely fooled and dragged into the water by him. He posted such a Moments post now, and the impact on me is very bad. Our association's Chairman Pei came to ask me for an explanation. If I can't give a reasonable explanation, my position in the Calligraphy and Painting Association might not be guaranteed..."

Hong Wu's voice carried a bit of coldness: "Mr. Xiao, the kind of thing you all did is really too low-life. I scolded Zhang Ermao as soon as I found out! I was the one who told him to post that Moments post!"

Xiao Changkun asked in surprise: "Master Wu, why are you doing this? Could it be that you are good friends with Zhou Liangyun?"

Hong Wu said: "I have no friendship with Zhou Liangyun."

Xiao Changkun was even more puzzled and asked hurriedly: "Then why are you siding with that Zhou Liangyun?"

Hong Wu said coldly: "In the past two years, I have been trying my best to wash my image. I rarely ask about things in the underworld, and I try my best not to do illegal business. Now everyone in Jin Ling knows that Zhang Ermao is my advisor. As a result, my advisor went behind my back and did such a low-life thing. Doesn't that mean splashing dirty water on me?"

Xiao Changkun hadn't expected Hong Wu to speak so seriously. His heart shook, and he hurriedly explained: "I'm sorry, Master Wu. I really didn't expect this matter to have a bad impact on you... It's all that Zhang Ermao's fault! I didn't even know Zhou Liangyun was back, and he insisted on telling me and took the initiative to formulate such a plan. I was also trapped by him. You must make the decision for me!"

Hong Wu said indifferently: "Mr. Xiao, I have already punished Zhang Ermao, and he has already gone to apologize to Zhou Liangyun in person. This matter is considered over on my end. What decision do you want me to make for you?"

Xiao Changkun said hurriedly: "Master Wu, I am under great pressure now. I beg you, for the sake of my son-in-law Ye Chen, to do me a favor and have Zhang Ermao remove me from this matter. Otherwise, I will be in big trouble, and I might even be arrested..."

Hong Wu said: "Mr. Xiao, although I respect Master Ye very much, if you want me to go against my conscience in this matter, I definitely can't do it."

Hearing this, Xiao Changkun felt incomparable despair, and he couldn't help but choke up, begging: "Master Wu, I beg you to pull me up. If you don't pull me, I'm really finished..."

Hong Wu was silent for a moment, sighed long, and said: "Hey! Forget it! For Master Ye's sake, I'll help you this once."

Xiao Changkun suddenly felt a sense of survival after a disaster, and his whole person instantly became excited. He hurriedly said: "Thank you, Master Wu! Thank you, Master Wu!"

Hong Wu said: "Don't be in a hurry to thank me. Although I can help you, I can only help you to a certain extent. It's impossible for me to do as you said, take all the responsibility off you and let Zhang Ermao take all the blame. After all, Zhang Ermao is my little brother. If I force my own little brother to take the blame for an outsider, how can I make my little brothers respect me in the future?"

Xiao Changkun's heart sank again, and he asked nervously: "Then how can you help me?"

Hong Wu said: "I can say hello to the police, so that this matter happens within the antique street and is solved within the antique street, without letting it rise to the legal level. That way, at the very least, you won't go in."

Xiao Changkun's heart, which had just sunk, instantly floated up a bit.

Not going in meant to him that he already had a bottom line. He might lose face, he might lose his job, but he wouldn't lose his freedom.

Just when he felt a little better, Hong Wu added: "However, I have conditions for helping you. You agree, and I can help you. Otherwise, you'll have to fend for yourself."

Xiao Changkun said hurriedly: "Master Wu, just say it. As long as I can do it, I will definitely agree!"

Hong Wu said: "Although I can keep this matter out of the antique street, you still have to solve this matter within the antique street in the end. So I want you to go to the antique street as soon as possible to apologize to Zhou Liangyun in person, and also return the three hundred thousand you earned from him."

Hearing this, Xiao Changkun almost cried, and said with extreme grievance: "Master Wu... that Zhou Liangyun has already picked up over nineteen million for nothing. Do I still have to return this three hundred thousand to him?"

Hong Wu said: "How much he earns is his business. The three hundred thousand you earned from him is the proceeds of fraud, do you understand?"

Xiao Changkun was a bit excited and blurted out: "But I spent ninety-eight thousand to buy the item! I spent ninety-eight thousand and earned back three hundred thousand. The profit margin is only twenty thousand. If I return three hundred thousand to him, wouldn't I even lose my principal?"

Hong Wu said indifferently: "It's already at this point. If you are still reluctant to part with the money, then I can't help it. Mr. Xiao, solve this matter yourself."

"No, no, no!" Xiao Changkun became nervous and hurriedly said: "Master Wu, I'll return it! I'll return it, alright? I'll return all my profits, a total of twenty thousand and two hundred, not a cent less, alright? I have to keep my principal, don't you think?"

Hong Wu retorted: "Mr. Xiao, if we follow your theory, if a telecom fraudster is caught and the police demand the return of the defrauded money, should he also deduct the internet and phone bills?"

"I..." Xiao Changkun was speechless and didn't know how to answer.

Hong Wu added: "Mr. Xiao, I promised you and offered you advice entirely for Master Ye's sake. But at this point, you are still reluctant to part with the money, so don't waste my time."

Xiao Changkun collapsed and could only say loudly: "Alright, alright, Master Wu. I'll return all three hundred thousand. Is that okay?"

Only then did Hong Wu say: "I suggest you donate the money directly to a charity, and then take the donation certificate to apologize to Zhou Liangyun. Because I heard just now that he personally donated ten million to a charity, so he definitely doesn't care about your three hundred thousand. If you cater to his preferences and donate this money, he will likely hold you in higher regard."

Xiao Changkun had already accepted his fate and said repeatedly: "Good! I'll donate! I'll donate all three hundred thousand without missing a cent!"

Hong Wu smiled: "That's right, Mr. Xiao. Money is an external possession. If you have this realization, I believe you should be able to get through this matter without danger."

As he spoke, he added: "It's getting late. I think you'd better hurry up and go to the antique street to see Zhou Liangyun."

Xiao Changkun said helplessly: "Master Wu, I'm in Dubai now, on vacation with my wife. I just landed not long ago. The plane has only just stopped."

As he spoke, he subconsciously looked up and said: "The cabin door hasn't even opened yet."

After speaking, he suddenly realized that all the passengers in the first-class cabin were looking at him with very contemptuous eyes.

Only then did he realize that his voice was a bit loud when he was on the phone just now, and he estimated that these passengers had heard most of it.

Feeling unbearable shame, he felt like he was sitting on pins and needles. He hurriedly lowered his voice and said to Hong Wu: "Master Wu, if I donate the money and then send the donation certificate to Zhou Liangyun, will that work?"

Hong Wu said: "This matter is of great importance. I advise you to put the vacation aside and come back quickly. Otherwise, if there are any bad changes, I won't be able to help."

As he spoke, Hong Wu added: "Oh, by the way, I heard that our local media is already paying attention to this matter and intends to interview Zhou Liangyun. If the influence of this matter gets bigger and bigger, I can't guarantee whether I can cover for you. So you'd better come back as soon as possible and settle this matter first."

Xiao Changkun had completely collapsed and cried: "The air ticket for this trip cost tens of thousands, and the hotel also cost a lot of money. I flew for nine hours with great difficulty and just landed. You can't make me go back now..."

"And I have to return the money I earned before, and the ninety-eight thousand principal is also gone. If I lose another hundred thousand on air tickets and hotels, wouldn't I become a super big sucker..."

Hong Wu said helplessly: "Then why don't you take a gamble?"

Xiao Changkun was scared and hurriedly said: "No, no... I can't take risks with this kind of thing. If it goes wrong, I'll have to go inside. My wife suffered a lot when she went inside before. I can't repeat her mistakes no matter what..."

After speaking, he sighed long and said: "Forget it, Master Wu. I'll check the air tickets and book the earliest flight back..."
