Contract Marriage: Billionaire and His Deaf Wife-Chapter 980: Everyone Has Fallen Into a Huge Trap (4)
Zhong Qiaohui couldn’t deny her words. The problem now is that they’ve all been dragged into this. What should they do?
Mrs. Lu walked around the lobby and inadvertently glanced at Ou Shihua over there, causing her to almost have a heart attack and flee back to the ladies’ lounge. She accidentally stumbled into the room where Gu Nuan and her friends were, instead of finding the room where Ou Chunhua was.
Gu Nuan and her friends thought they had locked the door. What they didn’t expect was that the lock on this suite’s door wasn’t very secure to begin with.
When Mrs. Lu came over, she twisted the doorknob, immediately feeling it loosen. She realized something was wrong. It was impossible for Ou Chunhua not to feel uncomfortable. Just as she was feeling puzzled, she peeked through the keyhole and saw Gu Nuan.
Out of curiosity, she crouched by the door and eavesdropped, overhearing Gu Nuan and her friends discussing a Ponzi scheme.
Mrs. Lu’s face turned pale, white as a sheet.
She certainly knew what a Ponzi scheme was. She just never imagined that Ou Chunhua, to fill her own financial shortfall, would drag her onto a sinking ship.
It’s truly——
In anger, she gritted her teeth, clenched her fists, and prepared to confront Ou Chunhua.
Ou Chunhua was sitting in her suite, contemplating what to do next.
Suddenly, Mrs. Lu burst in, rushing straight to her, yelling, "Oh, great! You’ve been cheated out of money, lost money, and now you want to drag me into this mess?! How heartless of you, after I treated you like a close friend!"
Ou Chunhua was initially stunned by her yelling, her ears ringing. After a while, comprehending what she was saying, she feigned calm and said, "And who told you all this? Are you stupid? If this was a scam, would so many elites come to this event looking for investments? Do you think they’re all fools? Haven’t you seen how many prominent figures are here?"
Mrs. Lu was taken aback by her words.
Seizing the moment, Ou Chunhua stood up and said, "Who told you these lies? Trying to trick you into not making money, and worse, turning you against me? Trying to break our cooperation. I wonder, who could it be? Could it be——"
"Yes, yes, yes." Mrs. Lu slipped up, nodding affirmatively, "It was that young lady from the Xiao Family, named Gu Nuan. I thought she made a compelling argument and unintentionally believed her words, but momentarily forgot what kind of person she originally was."
"You know what kind of person she is." Ou Chunhua sneered, secretly amazed at how Gu Nuan could be so perceptive. It was her first time here, and within minutes, she’d seen through everything.
Gu Nuan was assertive that this place was a Ponzi scheme. To be honest, it really set Ou Chunhua’s heart ablaze.
How could this be a Ponzi scheme? Ou Chunhua had been here several times, having invested millions, and each time she received considerable profits.
This shows that Gu Nuan is someone who can’t afford to gamble, which is why she dared to call this place a Ponzi scheme.
Doing financial derivatives, using leverage, inherently carries risks. Anyone entering the finance sector would know this principle. It’s about daring to gamble, accepting winnings, and certainly accepting losses.
Gu Nuan, always living frugally, is a complete miser. No wonder she can’t afford to gamble and instead claims others are running a Ponzi scheme.
Ou Chunhua sneered: This Gu Nuan probably doesn’t realize that spreading rumors and slander can lead to severe consequences.
In Gu Nuan’s suite, Zhong Qiaohui thought, "This matter must be reported, right?"
"Report?" Gu Nuan shook her head.
"Eh?"
"Those caught in this trap include many large companies. If the amounts involved exceed everyone’s expectations, the storm it would create in the financial sector could plunge the entire world into another financial crisis. Moreover, there are already some signs of a financial crisis."
Zhong Qiaohui hadn’t expected her thinking to be so far-reaching, to consider the entire world.
Gu Nuan said, "That’s because Changda is also a global company and will be affected by the global financial market."
Zhong Qiaohui nodded, "But this is ultimately a scam——"
"It can only be eliminated internally."
"What?"
"Wei Changqing followed us here."
Zhong Qiaohui showed more doubt, "Why did you suddenly mention that Chief Inspector?"
"He said it was to ensure my safety. But certainly, that’s not all. Considering his position."
Zhong Qiaohui was surprised, looking at her, as she fell into deeper contemplation.
To say she never doubted that Chief Inspector’s identity would be impossible. Like Gu Nuan, she had been suspicious from the beginning. But she didn’t have Gu Nuan’s keen insight, seemingly guessing everything at a glance.
"Are you saying——" Zhong Qiaohui hesitated, "He might also be using you, having you cover for him so he can act here?"
Gu Nuan dared not speak ill of her husband’s brother lightly, as suggested by Miss Zhong, which implicated Wei Changqing in using them.
Zhong Qiaohui chuckled, lacking fear, "I knew all along that he didn’t see me or you in a good light."
"But he doesn’t need to drag us into danger. Didn’t you see how he kept reminding us to quit while we’re ahead?"
"Are you saying we should leave now?"
Leave?!
At that moment, Gu Nuan hadn’t considered the possibility of not being able to leave.
If Mrs. Lu hadn’t overheard their conversation and hadn’t told Ou Chunhua, who then notified the event organizers.
Now, suddenly hearing Zhong Qiaohui bring this up, Gu Nuan subconsciously glanced down at the materials provided by Director Zhan, spotting the investment project banks, most of which were local Luxembourg private banks, notably missing Duchess Philips, and Melissa’s private bank name.
