Chapter 1124: A Series of Scams

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

“Li Zhichun, we are old acquaintances, and I know your temper.” General Kars said, “In this matter, I have given you enough respect worthy of you, my old friend! But, you are really ungrateful with the respect I gave. I am already tight with funds, and you are still dragging on the rent. It can’t be helped. I can only reclaim the gold mine for another use!”

“General Kars, the funds on my side are also tight as well. It’s also a coincidence that our funds were also gathered today. Look; can you give us some leeway…?” Li Zhichun said humbly.

“I can’t give you any leeway. I have decided on this matter on my side.” General Kars said, “This can’t be helped! But considering our relationship as old friends for many years, let us just forget about this matter. What I said before to your son that our connection comes to a halt were simply words I said in a moment of anger. If I have anything good in the future, I will let you know!”

“That is… alright!” Li Zhichun heard General Kars’ tone was very resolute. He knew that there was basically no hope for this matter, so Li Zhichun no longer insisted because persistence was useless.

General Kars said that he could continue to maintain friendly relations and think about them when there were good things in the future. This result was considered acceptable. In the presence of General Kars, Li Zhichun did not dare to coax and pester too much.

” En , I will contact you again. I am still very busy here.” General Kars replied perfunctorily and hung up.

“Ai !” Li Zhichun sighed. It seemed that there was no turning back in this matter. The matter about the gold mine could only be given up. If he knew that this would be the result, he would have gathered the funds to rent the gold mine without waiting for the Huang Family’s funds!

However, Li Zhichun still blamed most of his grievances on Huang Xiaofei. In his opinion, if Huang Xiaofei did not waste time, this matter would have been settled earlier. All the consequences up until this point were the result of Huang Xiaofei.

Li Zhichun picked up the phone and prepared to call and scold Huang Xiaofei to relieve his hatred! However, when the phone was dialed, Li Zhichun quickly hung up.

An extremely wicked thought appeared in Li Zhichun’s mind! He thought of a very bad idea! He had suffered a loss in Country X, so he wanted to get it back from Huang Xiaofei!

Li Zhichun sneered as he picked up the phone on the desk and dialed Huang Xiaofei’s phone. “Mr. Huang, what happened? Have you thought it through?”

Huang Xiaofei was thinking about how to make Huang Lele obedient, but he could not come up with a good way no matter how much he thought about it. While he was worried, Li Zhichun’s phone call came in.

Huang Xiaofei picked up the phone nervously and heard Li Zhichun’s voice. He quickly said, “Mr. Li, I… I haven’t figured out a way yet. You know this child. Lele’s thoughts are more progressive. She doesn’t listen to me!”

” Oh , if it can’t be done, then forget it.” Li Zhichun did not ask for Huang Lele to marry now. He wanted to implement a more evil plan. “I have discussed with Tianjia. He also said that in regards to the matter about relationships, it is better to fight for himself! So, he intends to pursue your family’s Lele personally.”

” Ah ! That is for the best!” Huang Xiaofei suddenly felt relieved after hearing it. He thought that Li Zhichun would pressure him, but he did not expect Li Zhichun to compromise.

” Hehe , I think so too. It is for all of our good! Yes. When will your money be ready? General Kars is in a hurry. You know this matter can’t be dragged!” Li Zhichun turned the thread of discussion and said.

“I see!” Huang Xiaofei began to have a headache again. He didn’t know how to talk to Lele. Ai, it is another problem. “When is the deadline?”

“By tomorrow morning, if the money is not transferred, then the gold mine will be taken back. They will not give it to us, so you have to hurry up!” said Li Zhichun.

“Well, then I will get this done as soon as possible!” Huang Xiaofei said as he rubbed his temple.

“You will need to make haste!” Once Li Zhichun realized things were settled, he was pleased. “Then, we will settle until here first. After you have gathered the funds, just call me and let me know.”

“Do not worry!” Huang Xiaofei nodded and assured, “I will transfer the money by tomorrow.”

Hanging up the phone, Huang Xiaofei began to be troubled! He did not anticipate that his three children would disagree with his Country X investment plan. Even his eldest son, Huang Rongtian, disagreed. They all suggested unanimously to Huang Xiaofei to invest his money in business, but a legitimate business would not earn as much money as a gold mine! The difference was radical!

Huang Xiaofei wanted to call Huang Rongtian, but he gave up on the idea. Huang Rongtian didn’t stand on his side this time. How could he have Huang Lele take out her money?

“Right!” Huang Xiaofei had a flash of inspiration! Didn’t Huang Lele say it before? If the money is used in a legitimate business, she will support it!

Then, if I lie to her saying that this money will be used for actual business, and after I scam the money into my hands, isn’t it up to me to decide what to do with the money? Thinking of this, Huang Xiaofei became excited. He quickly left the study to go to Huang Lele’s room.

Recently, some of Huang Lele’s limitations had been lifted, allowing her to use her phone. However, when she called Yang Ming, his phone was either unable to connect or shut down. She could not contact Yang Ming no matter what.

How could she know that Yang Ming was already in Africa at the moment and was helping her family to solve the problem in Africa! She wanted to ask Yang Ming for advice and what he thought about the money usage.

However, since her phone call was unable to connect, Huang Lele had to give up. But, Huang Lele also understood that since Yang Ming gave the money to her, he acquiesced for her to have free control of the money. Huang Lele could decide on how she wanted to use the money.

In fact, Yang Ming thought so too. When he first gave Huang Lele the money, it was already hinted.

Yang Ming was busy every day, and Huang Lele knew about it too. So, when she could not contact Yang Ming, she did not continue to contact him. She played her online games quietly, waiting for Yang Ming to contact her.

” Dang dang dang …” The sound of knocking came from the door.

“Who is it? Please come in!” Huang Lele’s mood was still good recently. At least, her father agreed to have Yang Ming be a guest at home, so Huang Lele was not as depressed as before.

“Lele, it’s me.” Huang Xiaofei smiled as he pushed in the door and came in.

“Dad? How come you are here?” Huang Lele was a bit baffled. Her father would usually send a maid or butler downstairs to look for them and ask them to go to her father’s study. Her father rarely went downstairs to their rooms.

“Lele, Dad just thought a lot. In the past, it may be that Dad’s thoughts are too stubborn!” Huang Xiaofei sat in a chair opposite Huang Lele and spoke.

” En ?” Huang Lele was astounded. “Dad, what are you talking about?”

“Dad always thought that if you marry Li Tianjia, you will be happy, but now that I think about it, this idea may be wrong.” Huang Xiaofei sighed and said, “You will not blame your father, right?”

“Dad… I… I didn’t…” When Huang Lele heard her father say this and took the initiative to admit his mistakes, she did not want to comment about it anymore.

“It is good that you do not.” Huang Xiaofei smiled and continued, “Moreover, I don’t plan to invest in Africa anymore. I have suffered a loss once. I should learn my lesson from it, so I think I will forget about it!”

“Dad, it would be great if you can think so!” Huang Lele finally breathed a sigh of relief. With that, she didn’t have to call Yang Ming.

“En , but there is something wrong now. I want to ask you for a favor!” Huang Xiaofei sighed slightly and pretended to be troubled. “And you’re the only one who can help with this!”

“Dad, say it if you have anything to say… I am your daughter. Forget about asking for help or anything…” Huang Lele said a little embarrassed.

“Then I will say it!” Huang Xiaofei paused and said, “Things are like this. Didn’t I put all the funds into the gold mine in Africa a while ago!? I even borrowed a lot of money from the bank!”

“Yeah, I know that.” Huang Lele nodded and said.

“Now, on our side, the bank is urging me to pay the arrears. The company’s operation funds are not enough. So, can you take out your money and use it for the family business?” asked Huang Xiaofei.

“This way…” Huang Lele was a bit troubled. After all, her father’s current request was reasonable. The family business was also in a tough spot with the lack of funds. This was something that Huang Lele could not refuse.

“Lele, I initially wanted to make a desperate attempt to continue to get Africa’s gold mine, but now I think that the company at home is the foundation, and it can’t be lost. Therefore, I still feel that I have to do some legitimate business!” Huang Xiaofei said earnestly.

“Then… will you promise not to mention Li Tianjia anymore, and stop limiting my freedom? Can I go back to work?” Huang Lele put forward her own conditions.

“Of course. Dad will not limit you anymore. You can go back to work at any time. As for Li Tianjia, he said that he wants to pursue you with his own ability. Then it is up to you to decide to give him a chance or not!” said Huang Xiaofei.

“That’s great!” Huang Lele saw her father say that he would be putting the money into a legitimate business, and she was assured by her father, so Huang Lele nodded as she decided to take the money out.

After all, the money was to be used for legitimate purposes. Huang Lele didn’t think much about it. Even if Yang Ming knew it, he would definitely agree. However, how could Huang Lele anticipate that her father would lie to her?

Ever since she was young, her father spoke truthfully. Although he was stubborn and tough, he had not deceived anyone. Therefore, Huang Lele did not realize that things were a little different this time. She still chose to believe in her father.

“Great! When will the money be transferred? The bank is making it quite urgent.” Huang Xiaofei heard that Huang Lele agreed, and he was overjoyed at the moment. He was afraid that a long delay would cause complications, so he spoke quickly.

“Then let’s get it done now. Anyway, it is an online bank. I can transfer it right away,” Huang Lele said as she opened the online banking professional site on the computer and entered her password.

For a moment, Huang Xiaofei only felt that his heart was at a standstill. This was his first time lying in front of his children, and it was still such a serious matter. However, for the glory in the future, Huang Xiaofei still gritted his teeth to lie.

“Dad, what is your company’s account?” Huang Lele asked.

“The company’s account is…” Huang Xiaofei spoke up to here, hesitated a moment, and continued, “How about this? First transfer to my personal account. Transferring to the company’s account is more troublesome!”

“Oh , sure.” Huang Lele did not suspect anything and nodded, “Tell me the account.”

The reason why Huang Xiaofei did not transfer it to the company’s account was that Huang Rongtian could also monitor the company’s account. If he discovered such a large deposit, he would definitely ask Huang Xiaofei. Then the matter would definitely be exposed.

Therefore, for the sake of safety and security, Huang Xiaofei still had Huang Lele remit the money into his private account, so that Huang Rongtian would not find out about it.

“My account is…” Huang Xiaofei told Huang Lele his account details. Huang Lele entered the account number on the computer in order. After Huang Xiaofei was satisfied that there was nothing wrong, he said, “Yes, you can transfer the money.”

So, Huang Lele pressed the button for the transfer. In a short while, the system prompted “Transferred successfully.”

“Okay, Dad, you can confirm it,” said Huang Lele.

“Good… good!” Huang Xiaofei was now excited, and he could not restrain himself. He was afraid that he would expose his flaws in Huang Lele’s room. He quickly left Huang Lele’s room and ran to his study.

Huang Lele didn’t feel anything. After the transfer, she continued to play computer games. She couldn’t reach Yang Ming recently, and it made her a little annoyed. Huang Lele suddenly thought of Wang Mei. I wonder how she is doing now.

She did not get in contact with Wang Mei for a long time, especially since she was isolated at home for a while. Huang Lele almost forgot this good friend.

She picked up the phone and dialed the new number that Wang Mei left for her in Song Jiang. Soon, the call was connected.

“Hello?” There was the baffled voice from Wang Mei over the phone. It was a number she was not very familiar with, a number of an international long-distance call.

“Wang Mei. It’s me, Lele.” Huang Lele heard the voice of Wang Mei and spoke happily.

” Ah ! It’s you!” Wang Mei suddenly screamed in surprise. “Lele, what happened to you? You did not call me for so long. I thought you forgot about me!”

“Something happened in my family, so I went back to Singapore. I can only call just recently, so I called you!” Huang Lele said apologetically.

“How are you? Is the matter resolved?” Wang Mei asked with some concern.

“No big deal. It is basically resolved.” Huang Lele said, “How are you there? Are you alright?”

” En , I am fine. Zhang Bing’s original wife came to me…” Wang Mei did not hide from Huang Lele and confessed bluntly.

” Ah !” Huang Lele was shocked. As she heard this from Wang Mei, she thought of herself. Yang Ming also has a girlfriend, right?

“What happened? Are you scared?” Wang Mei heard Huang Lele’s scream. She suddenly said, seemingly amused, “Yang Ming has quite a lot of girlfriends~”

“What does it have to do with me!?” Huang Lele denied in a panic. “I am not going back to stir up trouble!”

” Ha ! Actually, Sister Zhao… En , in other words, Zhang Bing’s girlfriend is not bad to me…” Wang Mei smiled and said, “She doesn’t dislike me so much. She has not said anything bad to me.”

“I am relieved if you can live well.” Huang Lele nodded. “Yes, do you know what happened to Yang Ming?”

“Yang Ming? Why? Didn’t he contact you?” Wang Mei asked baffled.

“He contacted before, but now the phone calls can’t get through. I don’t know where he is,” said Huang Lele.

” Oh , yes, I remember it. Zhang Bing said a few days ago that Yang Ming went abroad to Africa to contact the jewelry company’s mine problem. It has been a few days. There may be no phones there.” Wang Mei said suddenly.

“It turned out to be like this!” Huang Lele suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as nothing happened to Yang Ming, it would be great. Moreover, didn’t Yang Ming go to Africa to solve her own family’s problem?

Although she felt that Yang Ming was unlikely to have a connection in Africa, she was delighted to hear that from Wang Mei.

“Are you worried about him?” Wang Mei asked with a smile.

“How could I?!” Huang Lele’s face blushed.

Wang Mei did not pressure Huang Lele, so she changed the topic. The two chatted for more than half an hour before they hung up the phone. However, Huang Lele told Wang Mei her phone number in Singapore, so she could contact her whenever she had something the matter.

…

Yang Ming and Li Qiang brought their men to the gate of the mine. Before they reached the entrance, they saw a pair of soldiers at the gate, confronting his own men.

The weapons on the soldiers of the team were much worse than the weapons on Yang Ming’s people. Moreover, Yang Ming had the numbers advantage. So, they did not dare to let it go and just stood at the gate waiting for Yang Ming and the others to come out.

“What happened!” Yang Ming didn’t need to talk much. Li Qiang had already asked ahead.

“Reporting in!” Li Qiang’s man immediately ran to Li Qiang’s face. He stood straight and gave a military salute. “Captain Li, these people claim to be under General Kars’ government. They took the order to reclaim the mine!”

“Didn’t you tell them that this mine belongs to the Huang Family from Singapore? Have they signed a contract?” Li Qiang asked.

“No, we didn’t dare to talk before we got the order!” said the man.

Yang Ming nodded secretly. The discipline of these people was still very strict. They would not make their own decisions.

“You tell them this now!” Yang Ming commanded that man.

“Yes, Mr. Yang!” The man apparently knew that Yang Ming was Li Qiang’s boss, so he did not hesitate to execute Yang Ming’s order and ran to the gate.
