Chapter 596: Chapter 596

As Ou Yanan hesitated whether to continue sneaking a closer look, he glanced back at the door, saw no movement, and then approached the computer screen, eyes nearly pressed against it.

The message that popped up read: Mr. Wu?

Obviously, Ou Yanan wouldn’t reply to him. Instead, he started to browse through the chat history between the two.

It turned out that their conversations were all about Lin Jiale.

It seemed that the only reason Luo Ke had met Wu Zicong was because Lin Jiale had brought Wu Zicong to some event. Thɪs chapter is updated by novel※fire.net

In today’s chat log, Luo Ke expressed both concern and indignation about the personal financial crisis Lin Jiale and his company were about to face.

Luo Ke said, "That idiot Lin Jiale, just as you described, was indeed taken for a fool."

Taken for a fool? With a hammer?

Luo Ke continued, "Lin Jiale was thoroughly exposed by someone who knew his entire wealth, which is why he was knocked down in one blow. Do you know who he offended? The person who is maliciously targeting him must have a grudge against him."

It appeared that Luo Ke was seeking out Wu Zicong in order to use his past close relations with Lin Jiale to further investigate the matter.

In the following chat history, Wu Zicong told Luo Ke, "It was Xiao Yebai’s doing. He hurt Xiao Yebai’s wife."

Ou Yanan narrowed his eyes, even more focused on the chat conversation revealing itself before him.

Luo Ke seemed to have an epiphany: "I see."

Wu Zicong replied, "I had warned Mr. Lin."

Luo Ke then asked, "Do you know whether the Xiao Family house is in Xiao Yebai’s possession or not?"

Wu Zicong indicated that he didn’t know about this.

Shortly after, Wu Zicong walked away.

Luo Ke called out a couple of times from the other side but, receiving no response, he logged off automatically.

Ou Yanan was puzzled by this; from what he had heard, Xiao Yebai was a prodigal son without money, with all of his bank funds frozen by Xiao Jianming. Certainly, he had always felt there was something fishy about this. Since Xiao Yebai had no money, why would his teacher, Tang Sili, continue to follow him?

There was only one reason: Xiao Yebai must indeed have money.

If Xiao Yebai’s money wasn’t in the bank, then where was it? Even if Xiao Jianming had frozen Xiao Yebai’s bank funds, it couldn’t just be the money in the bank that was frozen, but all of Xiao Yebai’s assets under his name. Where then could Xiao Yebai possibly keep his money?

All of a sudden, Ou Yanan, who was only trained in medicine, realized he was clueless about the ways of the world.

Even if he wasn’t clever, but a fool, he knew that Xiao Yebai couldn’t just hide the cash somewhere and use it. Who would deal in cash, especially if it was such a large amount?

Yet, undoubtedly, like Ou Yanan, probably 99.9 percent of people in the world might think that Xiao Yebai, acting contrary to his eccentric personality, wouldn’t normally do that.

Hidden away in the Kang Family’s villa, Lin Jiale, along with Kang Junjia and Kang Baojun, had been sleepless for nearly two days.

These three, with dark circles under their eyes and looking listless, sat on the couch unable to eat or even swallow water. Debt collectors outside could come at any moment with knives, threatening to hold the blades to their necks.

And the only partner who could lend a hand, represented by Luo Ke, had given them a price to consider.

Luo Ke wanted all of Changda’s shares in Kang Junjia’s possession.

The Kang father and sons, along with Lin Jiale, were thus forced to believe that Luo Ke and his group of foreigners were privy to some insider information and deliberately kept them in the dark, leading them into crisis. As a result, Kang Junjia had no choice but to surrender his best bargaining chip.
