Chapter 500: Chapter 500
By this point in the conversation, Lu Jing had no interest in going upstairs to see, what was there to see in a pile of steel reinforcements and concrete?
"Get out of the car quickly."
There were still things to do.
It was then that Jiang Ye finally opened the door and got out of the car.
As soon as he got out, he hugged his wife:
"Wife, how long has it been since we last came here?"
It had indeed been several months. Thankfully, the housekeeper had been cleaning all along, otherwise they wouldn’t have been able to just come back on a whim.
For this place, Lu Jing had even deeper and more intimate feelings than for the family compound.
If it weren’t for the fact that working from the family compound was more convenient, he would definitely choose to live here long-term.
A few minutes later, the two of them had taken the elevator up, and Jiang Ye was punching in the code, with a ’ding’, the door opened.
Lu Jing glanced around the room, and sure enough, it was spotless.
Jiang Ye was the first to enter the hallway, then took out two pairs of slippers:
"Wife, change your shoes." He handed them over, seemingly about to help her change.
Lu Jing quickly grabbed the slippers:
It’s not like he was handicapped and needed someone else to help him change shoes.
Lu Jing really couldn’t stand that kind of behavior. When you have hands and feet, why can’t you do such a small thing by yourself?
Jiang Ye could only withdraw his hand and sulkily wiped his chin.
After changing shoes:
Although he wasn’t sure what the man was planning, Lu Jing followed him anyway.
The study room in this house was really big, practically the size of the entire living room in the family compound.
The bookshelves were lined up in many rows, densely packed with books, creating the feel of a bookstore.
Jiang Ye headed straight for a safe in the corner.
Lu Jing had always known about this safe, and he also knew there was another one in the master bedroom’s walk-in closet, but he had never opened them.
Jiang Ye didn’t avoid the person standing behind him at all from beginning to end. He even deliberately slowed down the pace of entering the password to make sure the person behind could see clearly and remember it.
The password was simple, just his wife’s birthday.
The next second: ’click’.
The safe door opened.
Lu Jing was blinded by a shimmering golden light.
Upon closer look, wow, there were rows of gold bars!
No wonder it was so dazzling!
Then there were stacks of cash, conservatively estimated to be about a million.
Next to that were several bundles of US dollars, as well as several jewelry boxes.
"Only two hundred thousand, right?" the man asked, turning his head.
Just to confirm one last time.
"Yes, wait, I’ll call Awan."
Lu Jing didn’t delay, and really made the call.
After several rings, the call connected:
"Awan, do you only need two hundred thousand?"
"Ah? One hundred thousand, one hundred thousand will do, I’ll find the rest elsewhere."
Lu Jing quickly said:
"No need to find others, we have enough here. Where are you? When do you need it?"
"How does Jiang have so much cash?"
Lu Jing coughed twice.
How was he supposed to answer that?
"It’s not that much, just enough."
Fortunately, the other side didn’t pursue the issue further:
"It’s too late now, let’s do it tomorrow morning. I’ll come to you."
"Okay, I’ll send you the address in a bit."
"Great, if you have enough then I don’t need to gather more. I’m headed back to the hotel, exhausted and very sleepy."
Collecting several hundred thousand in cash all night, truly, nobody would believe it if they told.
With technology advancing so quickly and efficiently nowadays, everyone uses electronic payments and banks close early, making it impossible to withdraw cash.
