Zhang Liunian understood, a smile playing on his lips. He half-embraced his wife and approached the two saleswomen, shamelessly introducing, "I haven't introduced you yet, this is my wife, Qingqing. Not only is she beautiful, but she's also very gentle..."
"Alright, alright, let's go buy it quickly!" Jiang Qingqing hadn't expected her husband to bring her directly to the saleswomen to show her off, her face flushing with embarrassment.
Really, how could Liunian praise her like this, and in front of outsiders, it was too shameful.
Because of Zhang Liunian's actions, Jiang Qingqing couldn't stay angry. Instead, she blushed a deep crimson.
"Not angry anymore?" Zhang Liunian asked, looking at his wife's rosy little face.
Jiang Qingqing reached out and pinched the soft flesh on his waist, her eyes shyly saying, "I wasn't angry in the first place."
She was just angry that her husband was too outstanding, attracting attention from others whenever they went out.
"Hiss!" Zhang Liunian drew a sharp breath, grabbed the small hand on his waist, brought it to his lips, and kissed it, causing Jiang Qingqing's entire head and neck to turn red. "What are you doing?"
So many people were watching.
Jiang Qingqing, feeling shy from her husband's actions, burrowed into his embrace.
Zhang Liunian hugged her body, chuckling silently, his eyes full of tenderness.
The saleswomen, who had been force-fed a dose of public display of affection, exchanged glances and then rolled their eyes.
They had thought they had a chance with a "rich man," but it turned out he was taken, and moreover, a man who doted on his wife.
Forget it, what chance did they have with a man like this? They didn't want to interfere in someone else's marriage.
An hour later, the two saleswomen, with beaming smiles, personally escorted Zhang Liunian and the other two out of the sales department.
"Mr. Zhang, Mrs. Zhang, please take care."
Zhang Liunian nodded, handed the keys and money to his wife, and said, "I'm going to the bank to withdraw money. You let Xiao Qian accompany you to buy some daily necessities."
"Brother Liunian, how about I accompany you?" Zhang Qian didn't really want to accompany his sister-in-law shopping; he'd rather go with Zhang Liunian to withdraw money.
Zhang Liunian couldn't leave his wife alone. "I'm not at ease with Qingqing, you should accompany her!"
"..."
In the end, Zhang Qian accompanied Jiang Qingqing to shop, while Zhang Liunian, disguised as someone else, went to the bank to withdraw money.
He planned to withdraw all of Tang Guo's thirty million, but because the amount was too large, this bank needed to make arrangements, and it might take until tomorrow.
Fearing any complications along the way, Zhang Liunian thought about it and decided to only withdraw a hundred thousand, depositing the rest into a separate account.
When the bank heard that the money would still be deposited in their bank, seeing it as performance, they immediately got to work.
"I want encryption," Zhang Liunian requested to set a password while processing the account.
At that time, not many people asked for passwords.
Zhang Liunian's words attracted the attention of many, but he didn't care. After depositing the money, he left the bank with it.
As soon as he withdrew the money, someone informed Tang Shitong.
"Damn it, it must be that Zhang Liunian who took it. We must find him and get the money back." Tang Shitong, receiving the news at home, immediately began to pace anxiously.
That was thirty million, not three hundred yuan. He couldn't let Zhang Liunian benefit so easily.
But now that the money had been withdrawn, and he didn't know where it had gone, and his niece hadn't appeared, what could he do?
Tang Shitong fell into deep thought, and then, as if he had an idea, he immediately sent people to seal Zhang Liunian's department store.
Team Leader Gu and his men tried to stop them, but without Zhang Liunian, it was all in vain. In the end, the department store was sealed by higher authorities.
"Taking our Tang family's money, I'll see if you don't spit it all out later." Tang Shitong was overjoyed to learn that the department store had finally been sealed.
He picked up the phone and notified Zhu Laosan, only to be told that the latter had learned that Zhang Liunian had joined forces with the Black Dragon Gang to smash his factory, and intended to kidnap Zhang Liunian's family, demanding money for their corpses. Furthermore, his niece would appear at his house that night.
"Yes, the ten o'clock flight tonight, please make the arrangements for me." Tang Shitong, upon learning that his niece was returning, immediately arranged the flight, intending to send his niece away.
Last time he failed to leave, this time he was determined to send his niece away.
Half an hour later, Tang Guo returned to her uncle's house and immediately ran over with red eyes, "Uncle."
Tang Shitong opened his arms and gave her a hug, patting her back comfortingly, "It's all over now, you're safe."
"Uncle, I thought I'd never get out of there in this lifetime." Tang Guo was truly terrified. All day long, she wondered if she would really spend her life in prison.
Wouldn't her beautiful face have been grown in vain then?
Even if she grew a flower in prison, it wouldn't serve much purpose.
She hadn't expected her uncle to be so capable, actually getting someone to send her out.
"With your uncle here, you'll be fine." Tang Shitong released his niece and gestured for her to sit down and tell him slowly.
Tang Guo wiped her eyes, sat down, and said, "How is Zhang Liunian? Did he take my thirty million?"
Tang Shitong sighed when he saw his niece's concern. "Guoguo, that thirty million was just taken by him. If we want it back, we can only get it if he's willing to give it up."
"That's impossible. If he went to withdraw money, you would have known and stopped him immediately, how could you let him successfully take the money?" Tang Guo, upon hearing that the money she had painstakingly schemed for was about to be taken by Zhang Liunian, immediately became agitated.
"He didn't withdraw it from here; he went to Pengcheng to withdraw the money. Uncle doesn't have the ability to go to Pengcheng and stop him from withdrawing money?" Speaking of this, Tang Shitong was also very angry. Zhang Liunian deliberately went to Pengcheng to withdraw money; he felt the other party might be guarding against them.
Otherwise, after obtaining the thirty million, why didn't he withdraw it in the provincial capital and insisted on going to Pengcheng? Wasn't it because they were out of reach there?
"Hmph, this Zhang Liunian is really calculating. He figured all this out. But now that I'm out, he won't have an easy time. I want him to spit out all thirty million." Tang Guo's heart ached at the thought of her money. That money not only included what she had schemed from Zhang Liunian but also the department store's income from the past year.
Now that it had all fallen into Zhang Liunian's hands, how could she let him off so easily?
However, she was in a precarious situation herself and needed to clear her name first.
How could she save herself? Tang Guo's eyes rolled, and suddenly her eyes lit up. Excitedly, she said, "Uncle, I remember that the person from above has a son who is also in Pengcheng. Can we make Zhang Liunian offend him, and then he can help us?"
Tang Shitong remained silent. The person from above had quite a few sons, but the niece was referring to the least favored one. He felt that relying on him was unlikely.
"Guoguo, you don't know, but that person from above doesn't care about that son. Even if Zhang Liunian has an enemy with him, it doesn't necessarily mean he will help you clear your name. You still need to find a scapegoat so you can return. For now, you should go to Hong Kong to lie low. Uncle has already bought your ticket, and you can depart at ten o'clock."
