Chapter 280: Simple-minded, strong-limbed

"If he ran, let him run; just call the police and have him arrested." Jiang Cheng wasn't the slightest bit nervous, looking at it as if it weren't a big deal.

He was too calm.

Upon hearing that, the manager felt a myriad of emotions.

He felt anxious inside.

"Our money… has already been swindled away by the other side. And it was a partner we painstakingly selected; we thought this guy was trustworthy, but who could have imagined he'd pull such a stunt midway?"

"This guy is really disgusting!"

The manager started complaining, nonstop.

His temper was gradually getting worse.

He just couldn't figure out what was going on with these guys.

How could each one be more disgusting than the last, constantly pulling such lowly tricks behind the scenes!

He was annoyed.

Then.

Jiang Cheng laughed.

"I know you're angry, but anger aside, first calm your emotions; don't let this lousy matter make your chest ache."

"Besides, this guy had shown signs earlier; you just didn't notice them."

"Ah?"

The manager was shocked.

What does "had shown signs earlier" mean?

Since there were signs earlier, why didn't Jiang Cheng tell him back then?

The manager was dazed.

He knew Jiang Cheng had a bit of money, but he wasn't just randomly messing around like that!

"Right now, the one thing you most need to do is figure out how to catch this guy, then interrogate his behind-the-scenes mastermind."

"Also, report it to the police."

He said that kind of offhandedly several times.

Suddenly, the manager felt Jiang Cheng was unfathomable; despite multiple problems arising, the other side just watched, never caring!

If it were another boss, he'd probably have flown into a rage by now.

Only he——

Has remained calm and composed!

From his behavior and reactions, he increasingly felt Jiang Cheng had known about this from the start, yet delayed acting.

In other words, he was luring the other side into a trap.

Once the other side actually fell into the trap, Jiang Cheng could then reap the benefits and close the net.

The manager fell silent for a moment.

Hesitant inside, he still couldn't help asking: "May I ask why, even though you knew the other side had problems, you didn't let me pay close attention and stop their tactics?"

"If I had stopped them, you say, after all their painstaking scheming, how would they drag me into the pit? And how would I make them bear even more guilt?" Jiang Cheng's mouth curled with a faint smile.

His words made the manager involuntarily suck in a breath of cold air.

With Jiang Cheng's explanation, he suddenly had an epiphany.

Suddenly he understood the meaning behind Jiang Cheng's words.

After all, he had thought about the matter too simply, too superficially.

Jiang Cheng, this person, handles things far more thoughtfully than he imagined.

Right now.

It's simply because that guy is currently colluding with Huang Zhengming.

Fortunately, Jiang Cheng seized this opportunity; appearing to fall into the trap himself, he was actually digging a pit for the other side, ready for them to fall into his trap.

Once they fall in, Jiang Cheng can then think of various ways to deal with them!

It must be said.

With this move of Jiang Cheng's, it's truly fierce!

The manager was completely convinced by Jiang Cheng's ability.

He kept praising: "No wonder you're my boss; I never thought of this, nor did I expect you'd already considered these things."

"You're really impressive!"

"I've benefited greatly, and now I see clearly." "I'll immediately report this to the police; then we'll see how arrogant these people can get."

The manager was extremely excited.

At this moment, he could hardly wait to report it to the police.

As for the other side, still thinking they were destined to win, he laughed with abandon.

"The money has already been secured."

"I didn't expect the other side to be so stupid; a casual trick, and they actually deposited all that money into my account." That person's face showed undisguised glee, accompanied by his smug, overbearing expression.

Huang Zhengming, however, felt things were going too smoothly.

He had an ominous premonition.

"Could the other side have noticed nothing during this period?" Huang Zhengming paused slightly.

At that time, his face looked somewhat grim.

The other side said: "My acting is too superb; they didn't notice anything wrong."

!

I easily talked him into it!

Right now, I already have this sum of money and am preparing to go overseas.

Anyway, my company owes a large sum; with this amount from him, I'll have no worries about food and clothing in the future. After all, I can finally live comfortably for the rest of my life.

Excitement inevitably appeared on his face.

Back then.

His company had a minor accident.

It was just this small mishap that left him in an awkward situation!

Fortunately, he was capable and soon made a comeback, and the situation gradually improved.

But—

He continually lacked funding.

As long as he can obtain this sum of money, his company can actually pay off all its debts!

But the required amount is too high.

Secondly.

Even if he pays off this sum, on the surface he looks rich, but in reality he's just a penniless wretch!

But now it's different.

Now, once he obtains this sum of money, his future self will be able to live without worries about food and clothing.

Just think about it.

His face was full of a brilliant, beaming smile.

He was very pleased with himself.

Just—

Huang Zhengming listened to the voice coming from the other end of the phone; the other person's face was indeed bursting with a smile.

"I advise you to be careful, after all—Jiang Cheng is very clever; are you sure you can really outplay him?"

"Don't end up with nothing in the end."

"What are you afraid of?"

He said it indifferently.

"I'm currently fleeing overseas; you say, even if he's very capable, can he directly drag me back?"

"In my view, even if he really had objections, he could only swallow them now; how could he actually act against me?" This guy is also a crafty old fox; with his mouth, he doesn't hold back, daring to spout anything.

Huang Zhengming listened to the voice from the other end of the phone, and he sneered.

"That's just what you think."

"You'd better not be too reckless, or you'll regret it later when it's too late—I won't be able to help you."

"Besides, I think our connection should be cut off, so let's not get further involved!" Huang Zhengming listened to the voice of that foolish, ignorant guy on the other end of the phone, and for a moment he really couldn't be bothered to discuss it further.

That guy…

No matter what, he used to be a big boss, right?

But he's simple-minded and brawny.

He actually thought such a complicated matter was that simple, and genuinely believed he could escape? (End of chapter)
