1224 Where Did The Money Go?

“Speaking of this...” Qin Yu smiled. “What is our relationship? As long as you say you need me, even the blade mountain and a sea of flame I’m willing to cross it!”

“I know. You and your sister-in-law are really good to me.” Jia Qiulian gently pushed Qin Yu’s hand away. “Let’s go. We still have a business to attend to.”

“Yes, I will call auntie and tell her that Wang Ba1 is already in the trap!”

? ? ? ?

As soon as Zhao Kang left the company, Deng Hui and Dai Tian rushed into the conference room.

When Yao Xiu heard the sound of footsteps, he woke up and jumped up from his chair. When he saw that it was Deng Hui and Dai Tian, he breathed a sigh of relief. “You guys surprised me. What are you two doing here?”

As Deng Hui and Dai Tian began to put the money into bags, they said, “Yao Xiu, come quickly and help us. We have to move this money.”

Yao Xiu didn’t understand what had happened, but he knew that Deng Hui and Dai Tian had been sent here either by Han Yuanjun or by Liang Zixuan.

Whether it was Han Yuanjun or Liang Zixuan, he had to obey them unconditionally.

.....

After helping Deng Hui and Dai Tian put the money into the bags, Yao Xiu originally wanted to help them take the money away, but Dai Tian stopped him.

He took out a bottle of something from his pocket and handed it to Yao Xiu. “Drink this.”

Yao Xiu was taken aback. “What’s this?”

Dai Tian coughed softly, trying hard to suppress his laughter as he said, “It’s nothing. It’s just something that will make you sleep for a while. Oh yeah, when you wake up later, you’ll say that you don’t know anything, that you slept from last night until you woke up this morning.”

Yao Xiu immediately understood the meaning. It meant that they wanted to frame Zhao Kang and blame him for the loss of the money.

Yao Xiu bore no responsibility in this case. Instead, all the responsibility rested on Zhao Kang.

He felt a little embarrassed. “Was it because of me that Madam’s plans were disrupted?”

“Absolutely not!” Dai Tian patted Yao Xiu on the shoulder. “Who is our Madam? She is good at adapting to any situation. After learning that you stayed here last night, she’s very grateful to you. If you were not here, Deng Hui and I would come to guard the money. Everyone inside the company knows that it is impossible for Zhao Kang to deceive us. On the contrary, you have made it easy for Madam.”

Deng Hui nodded in agreement. “Yes, no one fits into this plan better than you. The special assistant to the CEO is here to guard this money, and everyone knows how important this money is to Madam.”

What they meant was that no one would suspect that Liang Zixuan was deliberately setting a trap for Zhao Kang.

Yao Xiu smiled. His anxious heart finally calmed down.

He took the small bottle from Dai Tian’s hand and opened the cap. After sniffing for a while, he smelled nothing strange and drank it all in one gulp.

After he finished drinking, he went to his seat. He still wanted to say something, but his eyelids became heavy and he immediately fell asleep.

At this moment, Dai Tian took out another small bottle from his pocket and walked over to the table. He opened the lid and poured some of the contents into Yao Xiu’s cup. After cleaning up the table, he and Deng Hui began to transport the money away.

As Zhao Kang walked to the entrance of the company, he still felt pain in his leg and his chest, and his mind was filled with Qin Yu’s 8-inch high heels.

The heel was really a sharp weapon. The kicks against his leg and the blows on his chest were like a hammer hitting him, causing him to die from the pain.

Zhao Kang took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, leaned against the wall by the company’s door, and took a long drag.

After he finished smoking, he felt that his leg and chest were much better than before. He raised his hand and looked at his watch. It was already 6:40. After taking a deep breath, he walked into the company.

As soon as he got off the elevator, he limped to the conference room. Standing outside the door, he looked through the glass wall and found out that the room was empty. His heart sank, and he quickly pushed the door hard and hurried inside.

How long had he been gone?

How could all the money disappear?

Where had the money gone?

Oh my God!

Zhao Kang felt as if his whole world was falling apart. After running around in the conference room and making sure that the money had really disappeared, he ran to Yao Xiu’s side and shook his body with a trembling hand. “Special Assistant Yao, Special Assistant Yao!”

Yao Xiu closed his eyes and did not react at all. He was sleeping soundly like a child.

Zhao Kang became restless and shook Yao Xiu’s body harder. “Special Assistant Yao, don’t sleep anymore. The money has disappeared. Special Assistant Yao, help!”

Yao Xiu’s lips moved slightly, but there was still no reaction.

Zhao Kang had no choice but to run around the room anxiously like an ant on a hot pan.

What else could he do when he himself did not know where the money had gone?

He was the one most responsible for taking care of the money. If the money disappeared, then he had to be responsible for it!

“It’s over, it’s all over!” Zhao Kang’s legs became weak and he suddenly knelt on the ground. He was actually crying.

“Wuwuwu ... Where did the money go? What should I do now? It’s ten million, oh God...”

He cried for a moment, feeling that he really couldn’t bear this responsibility. After thinking, he suddenly got up from the ground and ran to the elevator as if his life depended on it.

If he wanted to leave, he had to leave now!

If he waited until it was time to go to work, and if they found out the money was missing, they’d surely call the police!

Once the police got involved, this matter wouldn’t be resolved in less than ten days to half a month. Even if they found out who stole the money, he was still guilty of negligence in doing his job!

And for the duration of the investigation and until they found the money, he couldn’t go anywhere else. If he didn’t give the money to Li Shang in time, then Li Shang would come looking for him. And if the police knew he had eight million on him, he wouldn’t know how to explain it!

At this critical moment, Zhao Kang could be considered clear-headed to be able to think of this.

For most people, apart from breaking down, what else could they think about?

Zhao Kang hurriedly pressed the elevator button and waited for the elevator door to open. Then he anxiously ran inside.

Five minutes later, he stormed out of the main entrance of the company and ran down the street. He took out his phone and immediately called Li Shang.

“Hello, Brother Li!”
