Seven hundred million, Qin Hai really bid with a price of seven hundred million.

He was completely led by the nose by Xiaofan.

The final outcome will definitely be Sida Real Estate winning the bid, then signing the contract.

Once the contract is signed and the funds are credited, Qin Hai invited Leng Yue for dinner again.

Although she detested it, Leng Yue still had to go. Going was going, but she had to endure harassment from the other side. Fortunately, the other party didn't dare to go too far.

Then after the funds were credited, the money was immediately transferred away using the safest and most efficient transfer method, quietly laundering the money.

That's it, the money is in hand, and it's time to retreat.

By the time Qin Hai realized something was wrong, it was already two days later, because why was the contract signed by Leng Yue and him, and not the opponent's chairman?

After realizing he'd been cheated, it was already too late. Reporting to the police was useless, he could only cry secretly at home. The loss was huge; for Qin Hai, it was nearly enough to bankrupt him. Seven hundred million, almost all his money, and some projects were still ongoing, he was unable to continue borrowing from the bank.

Regret was already useless; even killing wouldn't solve the problem because he didn't know whom to kill.

After several days of furious rage, Qin Hai could only swallow his pride and ask business partners for loans.

However, tables turn; this time when borrowing money, it fell on Liang Yanlong. Last time Liang Yanlong was in trouble, he was unwilling to lend. This time, being cheated out of seven hundred million was already known everywhere. Liang Yanlong certainly wouldn't agree to lend, because when his old man was in trouble with seven hundred million, he wouldn't lend even tens of millions, now why would he lend to him?

Helplessly, Qin Hai could only contact Dongwu and sell his shares cheaply, finally selling all his investment over the years for two hundred million.

The annual dividend could be as much as eight hundred million; the money invested must be more than this number, but the contract clearly stated that withdrawals were allowed, but only ten percent could be collected. Ten percent is ten percent, better than going bankrupt.

And Zhu Fan got seven hundred million, paid two hundred million back, made a net profit of five hundred million, and even acquired a portion of Dongwu's shares, which was simply ecstatic.

Of course, the money hadn't yet reached the designated account, but it was already enough.

Black Mantis's ability stands out, there's no doubt about this.

Next, tackling a shareholder who's also a powerful official.

Xiaofan saw clearly that Zhu Fan's purpose was to manipulate things secretly and keep all the money under his control.

These shareholders were originally vetted by Red Butterfly behind the scenes, but he quietly tampered with them. His tampering was very discreet, getting Xiaofan to help him, so if anything went wrong, Zhu Fan could wash his hands of the whole affair.

Hence, Xiaofan's current situation was unclear, because once discovered, Zhu Fan wouldn't smooth things over for him. Despite this, he had to do it, besides demonstrating his abilities, he also let Li Kuo silently note those accounts when transferring funds. With Li Kuo's patience, he could process more than two thousand account transaction data in two months, so the money that Qin Hai was cheated out of certainly wouldn't escape his control.

To deal with an official, Xiaofan had a simple approach. Find the official's weakness and blackmail him into compliance. This was Red Butterfly's consistent method; Xiaofan was merely learning and applying it now.

"Huo Xiangdong. Fifty-six years old this year, quite a high-ranking official. His wife is also an official, with one son and one daughter in the family. He owns many companies and enterprises. He's one of Dongwu's shareholders. However, in the past two months, he hasn't continued investing in Dongwu, obviously he's lacking confidence in Dongwu. Zhu Fan doesn't dare to touch him because offending him would bring no good to Dongwu Group."

"How much does Zhu Fan want?" Li San asked nonchalantly.

"Three hundred million, plus all of Huo Xiangdong's shares in Dongwu returned to him unconditionally," Xiaofan replied flatly.

"Damn, this guy really has the nerve."

"The plan's not complicated, find someone to seduce him, then take photos of his scandal and use them as blackmail. Which of you three will go?" Saying this, Xiaofan looked at Bai Xue, Ruyu, and Leng Yue.

Upon hearing Xiaofan's words, the faces of the three women instantly turned pale. Originally, they thought they had chosen a decent leader, but unexpectedly, at the critical moment, they still had to do such a thing.

"Ruyu can't go." Li San immediately said.

"Then Leng Yue and Bai Xue, which of you two will go?" Xiaofan asked flatly.

Seeing Xiaofan's serious face, the two girls felt a slight pain in their hearts.

He was only so-so, ultimately self-centered, only considering himself, ignoring others.

"I…" Leng Yue looked at Bai Xue, knowing she had some feelings for the captain. Such a thing would definitely be a big blow to her, so Leng Yue stood up voluntarily.

But before she could speak, Bai Xue pulled her back down and stood up herself, saying, "I'll go."

"Alright, I'll go smooth out some relations first. Prepare your emotions carefully, don't make mistakes; listen to my commands then."

Saying this, Xiaofan walked out without any reservation, without any attempt to stop him, just left like that.

Any expectation Bai Xue originally held was completely extinguished at the moment Xiaofan turned away. He didn't care about her at all; she was just a tool in his eyes.

On that day, after Xiaofan went out, he didn't come back until evening. Leng Yue waited all night, wanting to say something to Xiaofan, but Xiaofan had no time to listen.

"Can't you spare even two minutes?"

"What's the matter?"

"When you asked Bai Xue to do this, did you think about how she feels? Does it have to be done this way?"

"I'll comfort her after this is over, I'm going to sleep, I still have things to do tomorrow."

After saying this, Xiaofan closed the door and went to sleep, clearly with no intention of listening further.

And the next day he left with Li San early in the morning. Until he called at night, asking Bai Xue to get ready to wait at a high-end private entertainment venue.

After two days of investigation, Xiaofan found out that Huo Xiangdong was no good; at fifty-plus, he often visited such places looking for young, pretty girls, and he spent money like water, no less than those so-called bosses.

In the evening, Huo Xiangdong was preparing to arrive at the private club, and after smoothing over relations, Xiaofan had Li San appear before him as a waiter.

"Mr. Huo, you're here. I'm the new waiter, my number is twelve." Li San grinned as he spoke to him.
