Chapter 516: Shameless Scoundrels!

~8 min read 1,427 words

At this very moment, in that cloned Iveco, the seven adults in the car were completely unaware that a net of heaven and earth had already been cast over them.

Besides these seven adults, there were ten children in the car who were fast asleep. These children had been drugged with sleeping pills since the early morning and had not yet woken up.

Sitting in the passenger seat was a young man without a right hand. This young man was Liu Zhaochen.

At this moment, Liu Zhaochen was full of excitement and said to his brother who was driving, "Brother, if this deal goes through, that's a million-dollar profit!"

His brother asked in surprise, "Are children this expensive now? Didn't they say it was only tens of thousands of yuan each before?"

Liu Zhaochen said, "Didn't there be a crackdown a while ago? The Zhejiang Beggar Sect is currently in dire need of children, so the price has gone up."

His brother said with a smile, "Then we've hit the jackpot this time!"

Liu Zhaochen nodded and said happily, "After this deal is done, our whole family will find a place to go on vacation."

Inside the spacious cabin of the Iveco, Liu Zhaochen's mother said with a smile, "Oh my, after we make this money, I really want to go abroad for a spin. Old Zhao's wife next door went to Thailand a while ago. When she was there, she was flooding her Moments all day long, and after she came back, she was showing off to me in all sorts of ways. This time, after we get the money, we're going too!"

Liu Zhaochen laughed, "What's fun about Thailand? Thailand is a place for poor people to go. You can finish a trip with a tour group for two or three thousand yuan. If we're going, we're going to a high-end place."

"A high-end place?" Liu Zhaochen's mother asked excitedly, "Good son, tell me quickly what place is more high-class. Mom hasn't seen much of the world and can't think of it for a moment."

Liu Zhaochen blurted out, "Of course it's the Maldives. That's the real place for rich people to go on vacation!"

Liu Zhaochen's sister clapped her hands happily, "The Maldives? Great! I've wanted to go to the Maldives for a long time!"

As she spoke, she added, "I want to go to the Maldives and stay in those overwater villas. They are luxurious to death! It must be especially cool to stay there!"

Liu Zhaochen laughed, "Sister, after we get the money, we'll buy the tickets immediately!"

The family of six all began to look forward to the upcoming Maldives trip in their hearts.

Liu Zhaochen turned his head and looked at the man sitting in the back rows.

This man was also the seventh adult in the car besides Liu Zhaochen's family of six.

Liu Zhaochen looked at the seventh person and laughed, "Hey, Jiang Ming, you can get 400,000 from the money this time. Have you thought about what to do after you get this money?"

Jiang Ming ignored him because Jiang Ming himself was feeling very depressed at this moment.

Last night, after he returned home from Zhao Zhuoyue's company dormitory, several gangsters came to his door with knives.

Those gangsters knocked on his door, held knives to his neck, and warned him that he must send the compensation for Ma Zhongliang's Phaeton as soon as possible; otherwise, they would hack him to death directly.

Jiang Ming was scared out of his wits.

He found a friend who dealt in used cars and evaluated his own car and that Phaeton, only to find that even if he used all his insurance money, there was still a funding gap of over 1 million.

And his Mercedes, because it had already been in an accident, could only be sold for about 300,000 if he sold it.

Even if he sold the Mercedes, there was still a gap of over 900,000.

Zhao Zhuoyue solved 620,000 for him, but he was still short 300,000.

In desperation, he could only find his old fox friend Liu Zhaochen. He originally wanted to borrow 300,000 from him to save the situation, but he didn't expect Liu Zhaochen to be short of money too.

Liu Zhaochen complained to him that the police's crackdown on human trafficking had been too strong recently, and his family of 6 was already struggling to eat.

Liu Zhaochen also told him that he was currently looking for suitable children everywhere to sell to the south. The price was high now, and if he found resources, he could make a big profit.

As soon as Jiang Ming thought of the many infants and toddlers in the orphanage recently, he immediately had crooked thoughts.

He told Liu Zhaochen this information and proposed that the two sides cooperate to steal a batch of children from the orphanage and sell them.

Liu Zhaochen was just worrying about where to find children. When he heard that the orphanage had plenty, he was ecstatic and immediately had crooked thoughts.

Jiang Ming knew the orphanage like the back of his hand. He knew that because the orphanage was in disrepair, lacked funding, had insufficient staff, and had poor security facilities, there were many loopholes. As long as someone familiar with the process was involved, they could find a breakthrough point.

So he immediately took the lead and formulated a relatively detailed plan.

When Liu Zhaochen saw that this plan was highly feasible, he immediately brought his whole family of six into it.

Jiang Ming was very dissatisfied that Liu Zhaochen's family of 6 was all involved because he knew that the reason the other party called so many people was to get a larger share of the money.

If it were just him and Liu Zhaochen doing this, they would sell ten children for over 1 million, and each of them could get 600,000 or 700,000.

As a result, Liu Zhaochen brought five more people from his family, which diluted his share.

This shameless Liu Zhaochen even had the nerve to want to split it equally by head count, which would mean splitting it into 7 shares, leaving him with at most 200,000.

Jiang Ming argued with Liu Zhaochen for a while, and finally, they settled on a distribution method: Jiang Ming would get 400,000, and the rest would belong to Liu Zhaochen's family.

Having lost 300,000 in potential earnings, Jiang Ming was naturally very depressed.

But he had no good way to deal with it, because if the other party wanted to cut him out and do it alone, he would be finished.

In desperation, he could only swallow this bitter pill.

At this time, Liu Zhaochen looked at the map and the time, saying, "We'll be in Suzhou and Hangzhou soon. After we arrive, the buyer will come to pick up the goods. When the time comes, we'll take the money and head back. We should be able to make it back before dark."

Liu Zhaochen's sister said excitedly, "Oh my, I just want to go to the Maldives right now!"

As she spoke, she took out her phone and said, "I'm going to look for videos and guides about the Maldives on the short video platform to see which island is more fun to play on!"

Immediately, she opened the short video platform. She didn't expect that the first splash screen video after opening it would be news about the children lost from the orphanage!

This news video had been out for only two or three hours, yet it already had over 5 million likes and over 300,000 comments.

Her heart tightened, and when she opened the comments, she was shocked.

Because the comments were all uniform demands to execute the human traffickers, kill the human traffickers' whole families, and other such remarks!

She said subconsciously, "Oh no, this matter has already hit the headlines! It seems like netizens across the country are paying attention! Did we make this a bit too big?"

"What are you afraid of!" Liu Zhaochen said indifferently, "Stealing one and stealing ten makes no substantial difference. Besides, I've been careful all the way; no clues were left behind. No one can find us, and it's even less likely they'll suspect us!"

As he spoke, he said triumphantly, "You can rest assured! After a while, when they still can't find us, the netizens' attention will be attracted by other news, and after another while, we'll be forgotten!" ===== CHAPTER 517 =====
