The special nature of this mission lies in its distinct departure from previous methods.

Xiaofan wielded control over five hundred million in funds, entrusted to him by Zhu Fan for action.

In the past, if we wanted to extract something from someone, the best strategy was often threat or coercion, with the most common method being life-threatening pressure, or capturing their family to force compliance.

But this time, Xiaofan was to use money to reel in the target's own funds, which not only required time, but also brainpower, with risks greater than ever before.

Why did Zhu Fan choose the long route?

"Wow, five hundred million, Zhu Fan has really gone all in this time. I suppose it shows his complete trust in you." Li San remarked excitedly after hearing the news.

"It's all for nothing..."

"What do you mean? Isn't this a good sign? Giving you money to understand their financial movements and control their economic direction spells their doom," Li San continued.

"That's just our assumption, Dongwu isn't necessarily dictated by Zhu Fan," Xiaofan said slowly.

"What do you mean?"

"If Dongwu were controlled by Zhu Fan, he wouldn't need to deceive shareholders into investing, which would only draw suspicion to his motives. He's not that foolish."

"So what is he thinking?"

"He's gone mad with desperation, that's all. The funds behind Red Butterfly surely come from backstage support, and Zhu Fan must have privately gained a lot, but losing such a massive sum, eight hundred million might sting him, but an entire East Gate is a heartbreaking loss," Xiaofan analyzed thoroughly.

"So, as you said, should we disrupt them this time to prevent them from succeeding?"

"No, this time we'll go along with his plans. We can't always oppose him, and you mentioned we could directly control Dongwu's financial movements through this event. With so many shareholders, dealing with them one by one is genuinely troublesome," Xiaofan responded carefully.

"Is the first target decided yet?"

"Yes, we'll start with Qin Hai. His Sida Real Estate suffered early losses, and a small bait will easily catch him."

"What's the preliminary plan?"

"I've asked Zhu Fan to help us register a new company. The five hundred million isn't fake, so we'll learn from Jiang Taigong fishing, those who are willing will take the bait."

In fact, Qin Hai's connection with Red Butterfly wasn't deep. Even taking a big step back, he was just a pawn used by Red Butterfly for profit.

It was a supposed win-win situation, so naturally, Qin Hai would agree to cooperate. But as of today, Zhu Fan was short on cash and needed to retrieve some costs from them.

News was released about a piece of land in the mainland up for development. Due to insufficient funds, they were seeking partners.

The new development naturally attracted the attention of real estate developers and companies.

By now, XG's real estate sector was nearing saturation, with the last good piece of land at East Three Gates taken by Li Sisi. The remaining vacant land was remote, it wouldn't be possible to develop immediately or recoup funds within a few years.

Xiaofan's shell company made quite a show of it, very flamboyantly placing bids.

Under such circumstances, real estate and property companies speculated on how much each should bid.

A shell company forged some documents and presented some real ones, truth blended with deceit, yet these businessmen eager to make a quick buck couldn't see through the scam.

Xiaofan and Li San couldn't show themselves because Qin Hai recognized them, so they sent Ruyue and her team instead. Plus, the presence of pretty women made these guys lose their minds.

"Leng Yue, tonight Boss Chen wants to invite you for dinner. Boss Zhang wants to have tea with you… Wow, we hardly need to do anything. Just dress revealingly and show up, tell them we're not being **** yet, and they'll offer a lot of money to maintain us. We can live luxuriously and comfortably," Bai Xue remarked, watching the constant calls from bosses.

"These men only want your body. Besides, do you think they're meeting me for anything else? They want to learn our bid's bottom line, and see if business can lead to the bedroom. Of course, what you said isn't wrong; men aren't good for much," Leng Yue said, glancing at Li San and Xiaofan.

Li San was with Ruyu, yet still went out to womanize often, even to places like Bolan Street. Ruyu knew about it and often turned a blind eye. She said men shouldn't be indulged like this.

"Do you have Sida Real Estate's phone number?" Xiaofan asked quietly.

"Of course, since he's our target. I wouldn't have kept it otherwise. So, will you call Qin Hai back?"

"Call him back, but don't let him meet our beautiful manager so easily. Let him wait a day. Say our Manager Leng Yue is engaged tonight. If he asks when she's free, say tomorrow at lunchtime for forty minutes," Xiaofan instructed.

"Wow, I didn't expect you to deceive people so calmly and naturally, as if it's the most normal thing," Bai Xue mocked.

"Stop wasting time, make the call. Leng Yue, remember everything I told you about meeting Qin Hai tomorrow," Xiaofan added.

"Okay."

Making the other party wait a day was undoubtedly throwing a smoke bomb.

Helping Red Butterfly make money wasn't to Xiaofan's liking, but seeing them dogfight amused him.

Moreover, Red Butterfly couldn't create chaos for much longer. Even if they got Qin Hai's money, who knew whose pocket it would ultimately end up in.

A day later, in a five-star restaurant.

Leng Yue arrived in full regalia, Wang Ziyang playing the role of driver, his 1.68-meter height looked commendable. After Leng Yue's meticulous grooming, she was promptly ushered to a private room.

"Ah, Manager Leng, I've heard so much about you, have a seat, please." Staring at the elegant and charming Leng Yue, Qin Hai almost drooled.
