My husband Can Cultivate-Chapter 181: Four Billion Gone?

"The information doesn’t show any connection; it’s likely just a coincidence," Huang Borren said.

"Alright, I understand. Thank you for your hard work," Yang Qi said, hanging up the phone.

He wondered how to handle this. The company was really facing one disaster after another. Yang Qi suspected someone was pulling the strings from behind the scenes. Otherwise, how could a mere executive from Kang City Bank transfer four billion overseas? That was ludicrous!

「Meanwhile.」

Ye Fei arrived at Kang City Bank with Secretary Jin, waiting for Chen Jin. Just then, a pot-bellied, middle-aged man walked out. He was Chen Jin, the general manager of Kang City Bank.

"Manager Chen," Ye Fei said, walking up to him. "Our company is in desperate need of that money. Your bank can’t just ignore this. You have to solve the problem, right?"

Chen Jin gave Ye Fei a cold glance. "Haven’t we already reported it to the police? The authorities and the Heavenly Supervision Hall have already started their investigation. Before long, that Chen Shengming will be apprehended. You can ask him for the money then. There’s no need to keep blocking my door, is there? It’s not like I took your money."

"How can you be so unreasonable?" Secretary Jin fumed. "Our money was deposited in your bank, and you failed to fulfill your custodial responsibility. Now all you do is pass the buck and bully us."

If only their company were stronger, or if they had a powerful backer, they wouldn’t be in this predicament.

"Miss, you’d better watch your words. We are actively cooperating with the investigation!" Chen Jin sneered. "Security, from now on, don’t let any riffraff barge in here! This is a bank, not a public restroom!"

After saying his piece, he turned and left. Ye Fei and Secretary Jin tried to follow, but they were stopped.

Chen Jin didn’t go home. Instead, he went to a private clubhouse where Liang Changshan was waiting for him in a private room.

"Young Master, I’ve handled everything you instructed!" Chen Jin said with a smile. "This time, the Qifei Group is absolutely finished. Ye Fei is so anxious he’s on the verge of kneeling before me. But what good would that do? I simply won’t help him. What can he do? He’s at the end of his rope now!"

Liang Changshan nodded, touching his still-aching Dantian as his expression gradually turned savage. "Yang Qi, don’t think I’ll just sit back and wait for the five Independents to kill you. Before you die, I want you to taste the pain of watching your best friend commit suicide! Ye Fei is your best friend, isn’t he? I guarantee he’ll jump off a building this time!"

"Young Master, the Qifei Group has great potential," Chen Jin said with a grin. "It would be a pity to destroy it. We’d be better off taking this opportunity to acquire it. That would be more beneficial for us."

"Naturally. The Qifei Group has its uses, but it can only truly flourish in the hands of the Liang Family. Once this matter is settled, Chen Jin, I guarantee you an extraordinary position within the Liang Family!" Liang Changshan laughed.

"Thank you, Young Master!" Chen Jin was ecstatic.

"This time, not even Zhao Xiong can help him. Zhao Xiong may be the City Lord of Kang City, but this involves the World Silver Union. He has to stay out of it. I’d like to see how Yang Qi can possibly come back from this!"

Liang Changshan had calculated everything perfectly, but he hadn’t accounted for Yang Qi’s acquaintance with Fang Neng. Fang Neng may not have had Zhao Xiong’s power or the wealth of Kang City’s richest man, but he was the head of the World Silver Union in Kang City and Chen Jin’s direct superior. His very existence seemed fated to help Yang Qi resolve this crisis.

Yang Qi called Fang Neng and explained the situation.

Fang Neng immediately pounded his chest and assured him, "Divine Doctor Yang, don’t you worry. Leave this matter to me. I’ll have it handled for you within a day. If the funds aren’t recovered by tomorrow, I will personally give you an explanation!"

"Then I’ll have to trouble you!"

After hanging up, Yang Qi headed to the company to share the good news with Ye Fei. To his surprise, he found Chen Jin already there.

"President Ye, this is the only chance for the Qifei Group," Chen Jin said condescendingly while sipping his tea, acting as if he was doing Ye Fei a huge favor. "I only helped connect you because I felt sorry for you. Someone is willing to spend four billion to acquire the Qifei Group. You should be thanking your lucky stars. You’ll be able to pay off all your debts."

In reality, the four billion had been siphoned off by Liang Changshan in the first place. He was now using that same money to purchase the Qifei Group, meaning he was getting the company for free. Such a stroke of luck was like a pie falling from the sky. Most importantly, the company’s existing orders could be converted into more cash. This wasn’t just getting something for nothing; it was a massive windfall.

Ye Fei really wanted to agree. The company had reached a point where there truly seemed to be no other choice.

"We’re not selling!"

At that moment, Yang Qi walked in. He shot a cold glare at Chen Jin. "Don’t think I don’t know that this is all a conspiracy you cooked up with the Liang Family. Trying to get something for nothing? In your dreams! Let me tell you, the Qifei Group doesn’t lack money. We can afford to lose four billion. But you... you’re finished! Furthermore, your bank will compensate the Qifei Group for every last bit of our losses! Otherwise, I’ll make sure you can’t stay in business!"

"Hmph, so you refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit! Yang Qi, don’t spout nonsense. Everything you say requires proof. Since you refuse our help, you can just wait for your company to go bankrupt!"

Chen Jin was still somewhat afraid of Yang Qi. He knew how formidable the man was. Although Liang Changshan hadn’t spread the news of him being crippled, the very fact that it took the five Independents to deal with Yang Qi was proof enough of his strength.

Chen Jin left and reported the incident to Liang Changshan, who had been eagerly awaiting the news of the Qifei Group’s acquisition. Instead, he was met with disappointment. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

"Don’t worry, Young Master," Chen Jin said over the phone. "They’re just putting up a brave front right now. They don’t have the means to do anything. We just have to wait. When they’re completely cornered, we can take them down easily!"

"Right. Is that Chen Shengming fellow hidden well? Don’t let him actually get caught. That would be embarrassing," Liang Changshan asked.

"Rest assured, Chen Shengming is already in Thunder City. Those incompetent fools in Kang City will never find him," Chen Jin said with a laugh.

Just then, there was a knock on his office door. "Young Master, someone’s here. I have to hang up!" Chen Jin said quickly, ending the call just as the door was pushed open.

Fang Neng walked in, followed by a group of people.

"P-President Fang!" Chen Jin stammered, stunned.

Fang Neng was the head of the World Silver Union’s operations in Kang City! He managed over a dozen banks. What was he doing here, in his office?

"Take him away!" Fang Neng commanded with a wave of his hand. The men behind him rushed forward and restrained Chen Jin. These were the World Silver Union’s special internal affairs agents, tasked with rooting out corruption. Every single one of them was an elite, specially trained for this purpose.
