A nondescript Volkswagen sedan was quietly parked by the roadside outside a secure and serene villa community.
Inside the car, Ah Liang furrowed his brow, exuding so impatience, and asked the corpulent Feng Peng beside him, "Are you sure it’s here? We’ve been watching for three whole days, haven’t seen a soul."
Feng Peng wiped the sweat off his forehead with the back of his hand and said in a low voice with certainty, "It’s definitely here, no mistake. Among Gu Zhenbang’s trusted aides, Xu Xiang is the closest to him.
Xu Xiang knew Gu Zhenbang even earlier than I did, and we often had als together in the first half of the year. But in the past two months, Gu Zhenbang has distanced himself from , and the etings with them have beco fewer and fewer."
As Feng Peng secretly watched the community gate, he explained, "But I assure you, Xu Xiang is the one Gu Zhenbang trusts the most. If you want to investigate Gu Zhenbang’s shady dealings, keeping an eye on Xu Xiang is definitely the right move."
As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Peng’s eyes suddenly lit up, his neck instinctively shrunk, and he hurriedly made a shushing gesture: "Shh, don’t make a sound, it’s that car."
Ah Liang’s expression slightly changed, and he looked in the direction Feng Peng pointed, seeing a black rcedes slowly drive out of the community gate.
The car window was half-open, with a middle-aged man with greying temples sitting in the back seat, looking lean.
The man’s eyes showed a sense of superiority and arrogance, not even glancing their way.
To avoid attracting attention, Ah Liang and Feng Peng deliberately drove this ordinary black Volkswagen.
Once the rcedes was far enough, Ah Liang imdiately started the car and followed it.
About an hour later.
They followed Xu Xiang’s car to the Urban Investnt Company.
Seeing the many exits of the Urban Investnt Company, Ah Liang slightly frowned and decisively called for more personnel to guard all the entrances and exits.
Sure enough, in less than an hour, soone spotted Xu Xiang and Gu Zhenbang leaving together in another car.
Upon receiving the information from his colleague, Ah Liang wasted no ti, imdiately driving after them once more.
Eventually, they arrived at a highly concealed private club.
This club was hidden within an old residential area, appearing from the outside as if it couldn’t possibly house a high-end private club.
Sitting in the car observing the club entrance from afar, Ah Liang’s phone vibrated; he answered it with a low voice:
"How’s it going? Any news from inside Urban Investnt?"
"Brother Liang, the person we connected with inside Urban Investnt has so new information. He said Gu Zhenbang ntioned cash while chatting with his assistant."
Ah Liang’s expression showed mild surprise: "You an Gu Zhenbang might be here for a cash transaction?"
Hearing Ah Liang’s phone conversation, Feng Peng quickly chid in, "I’ve heard about this too.
Gu Zhenbang has been raising cash everywhere lately, perhaps knowing I don’t have any money, so he hasn’t co to . But I’ve heard from others that he’s asking many people to withdraw cash for him, and the amount isn’t small. I suspect he’s preparing for himself, just in case."
"Is there really such a thing?"
Ah Liang frowned, pondered for a mont, and then called Li Jing.
Upon learning the news, Li Jing decisively conveyed this important clue to Zhou Li.
At her office reviewing docunts, Zhou Li, having listened to Li Jing’s call, had no doubts, appeared thrilled, and imdiately rose to head quickly towards the manager’s office...
anwhile.
In a luxurious private club suite, Gu Zhenbang and Xu Xiang were sitting on the sofa.
Xu Xiang was respectfully attentive to Gu Zhenbang, clapped his hands, and several subordinates carried in multiple heavy boxes.
Xu Xiang smiled and said to Gu Zhenbang, "President Gu, there’s a total of ten million in cash here. Would you like to count it?"
Gu Zhenbang signaled his assistant to count it, displaying a satisfied expression as he praised, "Well done, Boss Xu, you’ve worked hard this ti."
Xu Xiang laughed it off, but his curiosity got the better of him, and he couldn’t help but tentatively ask, "President Gu, why do you need so much cash lately?
Is it because there’s a problem on the leadership side? Hasn’t Hu Yongbo already been spoken to?"
Upon hearing this, a flash of change crossed Gu Zhenbang’s eyes, but he quickly returned to normal, dismissively saying, "I’ve been working on so investnts, my working capital is tied up, plus the leadership needs funds.
You know how it is, cash transactions are more discreet, don’t worry, we won’t have any issues this ti."
Xu Xiang half-believed him but wasn’t in a position to ask more. He then changed the subject, smiling as he said:
"President Gu, I’ve recently found a few charming and talented girls. How about inviting them to showcase their talent for you?"
Gu Zhenbang raised an eyebrow, feeling in a good mood, and imdiately agreed.
Soon, a server brought in fragrant tea, and several beautiful girls dressed in revealing and sexy outfits walked in.
With the music, the girls started dancing an ambiguous and sensuous dance in the room.
Click.
Midway through the dance, a man opened the door, ran in with obvious panic, and whispered a few words in Xu Xiang’s ear.
Xu Xiang, initially displeased, turned pale instantly upon hearing the news. Before he could speak, Gu Zhenbang, astutely sensing sothing was wrong, stood up and asked with a somber face, "Has sothing happened?"
Xu Xiang was surprised by Gu Zhenbang’s quick reaction but lowered his voice to say, "It seems like the commission people are here. Not sure how they got the news. But President Gu, don’t worry, there’s a back door here."
Upon hearing this, Gu Zhenbang decisively gathered personnel and led them with the cash-filled boxes toward the rear exit.
Throughout, Gu Zhenbang’s face remained grim, his mind constantly pondering the reason for the exposure, his gaze even sweeping over Xu Xiang and others beside him.
