Chapter 208 The Money is Gone
Liu Ran looked up at Chen Yang in surprise when she heard him speak, not understanding why he was still saying this when things had reached this point.
Liu Ran shook her head helplessly and said to Chen Yang, "Chen Yang, you don't actually think Grandma and the others will return the 550 million to me, do you? That's impossible."
"They secretly took it this time. It's uncertain if they'll return it even after three years."
"As expected, they set up a trap for me from beginning to end. I'm the only one who suffered. You're still happily celebrating. Do you know how much can be done with 550 million?"
"Although we're not short of money now, when we start promoting our second product, the financial pressure will appear then."
"And you said before that we need a company headquarters. Now the money is gone, and Blue Sky Tower is gone. We, sigh..."
Liu Ran bit her teeth in frustration as she spoke.
Chen Yang laughed heartily, stepped on the accelerator, and drove Liu Ran home.
She said, "Alright, alright, cheer up, my dear. Nothing is decided until the very last moment. Don't you forget who owns Blue Sky Tower? It's Wang Hao's."
"That guy Wang Hao is no easy character. He's someone who eats people without spitting out the bones."
Liu Ran felt even more depressed when she heard this. She leaned her head against the glass, looking at the night view of Qingzhou City, and said helplessly, "Wang Hao is not a good person, and the Liu family isn't either. My 550 million has purely been contributed to the enemy. Damn it."
Liu Ran couldn't help but let out a curse.
Chen Yang found Liu Ran's curses so cute that he couldn't help but laugh.
When they returned to the villa, Su Ya had already started preparing dinner. Seeing them return, Su Ya called them to sit down and eat. Liu Ran shook her head and said dejectedly, "I can't eat anything. I'm sorry, Sister Su Ya. I'll go upstairs first."
Liu Ran walked upstairs and went back to her bedroom to rest.
Su Ya looked at Chen Yang strangely. Chen Yang just sat down with a smile and started eating heartily.
Su Ya angrily slapped Chen Yang's shoulder. She said indignantly, "Chen Yang, what's going on? Did you two argue?"
"You look so carefree. Look how upset Liu Ran is. How can you still eat here? Go upstairs and coax her."
Chen Yang waved his hand and said, "No, how could we argue? It was the people from the Liu family who stole her bank card and bought Blue Sky Tower."
"However, the initial transaction for Blue Sky Tower has only been completed. The final outcome is still uncertain! We'll just have to wait and see."
Su Ya understood when she heard this. She picked up her chopsticks and bowl to eat, muttering, "I told Liu Ran yesterday to be wary of that old woman and her group. How could they be so kind as to let Liu Ran spend 500 million to buy a commercial building, and even let Liu Ran be the head of the Liu family?"
"They clearly had other plans! Sigh, this is not a big deal. Let Liu Ran suffer a loss, and she'll be more guarded against these people in the family in the future."
Night.
Qingzhou City.
At the most luxurious private room in the Golden Splendor Nightclub.
Wang Hao had women on both sides, drinking the most expensive red wine and enjoying the service of eight tall women.
He never had any ambition for a career. Now that Blue Sky Tower had been converted into money, 1.05 billion yuan, this much money was enough for him to live a life of luxury.
Even if he put the money in the bank and bought the safest wealth management product, the annual profit alone would be enough for him to enjoy life.
Previously, at the fair trading auction house, he had signed the sales agreement under the supervision of the auctioneer and the lawyer.
Now, the name of Blue Sky Tower had become Liu Xin's, and his card had an extra 1.05 billion yuan!
From now on, he was a rich man and would never lack money.
Just then, his phone rang. Wang Hao lazily picked up the phone and answered. Hei Dao's urgent voice came from the other end.
Hei Dao said to Wang Hao, "Wang Hao, what are you doing? So many brothers are hospitalized, and you haven't transferred the money for their hospital fees. What's going on?"
Wang Hao immediately roared angrily when he heard Hei Dao's impolite words, "Hei Dao, get it straight. I am your boss. Besides, didn't I already transfer the money to you? Didn't you receive the 10 million yuan?"
Hei Dao said angrily, "If I had received it, would I be making this call? I know you're our boss, but to me, these more than two hundred brothers are my real confidantes, my most important buddies and assets."
"They were hospitalized doing your business, and it's your responsibility to pay for their medical expenses. The money you transferred was 10 million yuan initially, but the bank soon notified me that the transaction failed."
"So there's no money to pay the hospital fees right now."
Wang Hao was stunned when he heard Hei Dao. He then said, "Transaction failed? Let me see. Don't worry, I have so much money that I can't spend it all by myself. If I want to enjoy life, I'll definitely need your support. I won't treat you badly."
Hei Dao said, "That's for the best, Young Master Wang. Hurry up and transfer the money! The brothers haven't paid their medical fees for three days now."
Wang Hao grunted and hung up the phone. Then he picked up his phone and opened his banking app to check.
His account balance in the banking app was still 1.05 billion yuan. Seeing such a long string of numbers, he couldn't help but grin.
Then he checked the transaction records. The transaction records showed that he had indeed transferred 10 million yuan to Hei Dao, but two minutes later, the transaction was automatically canceled, and the bank notified him that the funds did not support this transaction.
Wang Hao was stunned when he saw this notification. He then transferred another 10 million yuan to Hei Dao's account. The transaction showed success, but after two minutes, the funds were returned again, and the bank still indicated that this money could not be used for transfer transactions.
Wang Hao was dumbfounded when he saw this. He stood up and prepared to go to the bank to inquire.
As he was settling the bill and leaving, the total consumption was 18,888 yuan. However, his card couldn't be swiped.
Even though there was 1.05 billion yuan in his card, he couldn't even swipe it for 18,888 yuan.
Wang Hao was furious. He said fiercely, "What kind of nonsense is this nightclub pulling! Hurry up and get me a new card machine. I'm a billionaire, and I'm being humiliated here, unable to swipe for this measly 10,000 yuan. Hurry up."
The nightclub manager quickly ran to get other card machines. However, after trying more than twenty POS machines, none of them could successfully swipe the card.
At this moment, Zhou Ming, the person in charge of the nightclub, walked over. Zhou Ming looked at the POS machines and then at Wang Hao's card. He frowned and said, "Young Master Wang, there seems to be a problem with this money!"
"It seems to be encrypted special currency. It's just a number on your card, good to look at, but it cannot be transferred or traded. You can't buy anything with it."
"Generally speaking, such methods are used by international or major domestic law enforcement agencies to trick criminals. This means that the money in your card could disappear at any moment!"
Wang Hao's face changed when he heard this. At the next moment, he tried to swipe his card again, and the POS machine suddenly prompted that the bank card balance was insufficient.
Wang Hao immediately clicked on his banking app and suddenly discovered that the 1.05 billion yuan he had transacted with that evening had now vanished into thin air.
All his money was gone.
