Chapter 1572: Chapter 1572

"Okay, I will definitely drag Zhao Tianhao out."

Fu Tianyou promised confidently.

"You really make me so angry."

Wu Tian sat in the chair angrily, the more he thought about it, the more something felt off: "No way, how could a mere underground fighting ring have billions in funds?"

"I’m not very clear either, maybe there’s someone powerful backing it."

Fu Tianyou smiled and sighed: "Even the major families in the Imperial City can’t take out so much money at once now. I reckon only the newly established Longya has such strength."

Wu Tian’s expression slightly changed upon hearing this.

"Sir, please don’t misunderstand, I definitely don’t mean to suspect Longya. I..."

Wu Tian glared at Fu Tianyou, immediately pulling out his phone and dialing a number.

"Director Liu? Can you check how much money is in Longya’s account right now?"

After the call connected, Wu Tian coldly asked.

"Sir, our account still has 4.3 billion."

A pleasant female voice echoed.

Hearing this, Wu Tian breathed a sigh of relief, still worried, he ordered: "Transfer one billion to my personal account immediately."

Director Liu hesitated immediately.

"What? Is there a problem?"

"S-Sir, I... I’m not convenient now, I’m not in the office."

Director Liu stammered.

"Do you think I’m an idiot? I called the office phone, if you’re not there, how did you answer?"

Wu Tian shouted angrily: "Don’t tell me it’s a forwarding setting."

"Please spare me, sir, I was forced."

Upon hearing this, Director Liu started crying.

Wu Tian abruptly stood up, "Is the money gone?"

"There are still 300 million left, the other money was transferred by Liu Chai and others. They assaulted me and took photos and videos. If I don’t help them cover it up, they’ll kill me and release those disgraceful things online... sob sob sob."

Director Liu started crying while talking.

"You, wait for me at headquarters, I’ll rush back immediately."

Upon hearing this, Wu Tian was so angry he almost spat blood.

"Sir, what happened?"

After Wu Tian ended the call, Fu Tianyou asked curiously.

"A bunch of useless garbage."

Wu Tian cursed, storming off in anger.

After Wu Tian left, Fu Tianyou laughed. He had understood the gist of the situation, Longya’s money had been embezzled.

Thinking of this, Fu Tianyou couldn’t help gloating. In order to maintain the purity of their team, Longya refused to recruit members from the Ming Group and Dark Group, opting instead for some previously disregarded roles.

These people were once a band of misfits, not even the Ming Group or Dark Group would take them, either due to incompetence or character issues. Now, Longya was controlled by these people... even the act of assaulting the financial director, filming videos, and taking photos was possible by them. Truly, they were a bunch of peculiar oddballs!

"No way! Could Zhao Tianhao’s money be Longya’s money?"

Fu Tianyou laughed for a while, suddenly sitting upright: "If that’s true, wouldn’t I be taking the fall for Longya?"

After rushing back to headquarters, Wu Tian immediately called the financial director into his office.

Looking at this stunningly beautiful woman with red eyes standing before him, Wu Tian gritted his teeth with hatred: "Do you know you’re committing a crime? Do you understand losing this much money can’t be remedied, even if I killed you?"

"Sir, I was really forced, sob sob, you should know my situation. How can I live if my husband and child find out I was...?"

Director Liu cried again.

"Stop crying. Tell me everything that happened, I’ll stand up for you."

Wu Tian impatiently waved his hand.

Then Director Liu recounted how she was threatened and coerced to embezzle money by Liu Chai and others, offering many pieces of evidence to illustrate the funds were transferred to their accounts.

Understanding the situation, Wu Tian was infuriated and immediately ordered to have Liu Chai apprehended.

Liu Chai, Zhu Jiu, and Yue Lao San were gathered studying how to retrieve the money from Han Shan when they were rounded up by Longya’s people and brought to Wu Tian’s office.

Seeing Director Liu standing next to Wu Tian, the three instantly realized the situation was dire. Instead of waiting for Wu Tian’s interrogation, they started confessing everything with tears and snot.

"Well, well, you three bastards are just too much."

Hearing their confessions, Wu Tian’s face turned as dark as water, "You were once non-entity Martial Artists in the Imperial City. I personally promoted you to minor managers in Longya. Not only do you lack gratitude, but you dared to assault my financial director and embezzle so much money. Have you grown tired of living?"

"Sir, we never intended to embezzle the organization’s money. Longya is such a powerful organization, even if we had the guts to embezzle, we wouldn’t dare spend it."

Liu Chai hurriedly knelt on the ground, crying and explaining to Wu Tian: "We just wanted to earn a little extra money with the organization’s funds."

"Just a little? Forty billion funds, and you say just a little?"

Wu Tian glared, angrily slamming the table: "That much money could earn significant interest in a bank, yet you put it into a black account at a Century Fight arena and lost it."

"Sir, we didn’t want it to be this way either."

Zhu Jiu suddenly pointed at Liu Chai: "It’s all his fault. He said he feared our accounts being monitored, so he stashed the money in the Century Fight arena’s black account, otherwise, such an amount wouldn’t have been lost."

"Yes, yes, it was Liu Chai’s idea to assault Director Liu."

Yue Lao San also quickly accused Liu Chai.

"You... you two bastards, now you’re pushing everything onto me. At the fight arena, none of you missed a penny from winning billions."

Liu Chai glared at the two angrily: "And during the blackmailing of Director Liu, you two were more enthusiastic than me. I only wanted the videos and photos, yet you had repeated relations with her, true beasts."

The three, disagreeing over a word, ended up entangled together.

Seeing this, Wu Tian roared furiously, "Someone, break their legs for me!"

As soon as he spoke, several Longya members stepped forward, pulling the three apart and breaking their legs.

"Please spare us, Sir."

The three lay on the ground, looking miserably at Wu Tian.

"Your personal mess can be dealt with later. Right now, I just want to know where the money went."

Wu Tian glared fiercely, coldly questioning.

"The money hasn’t been recovered yet."

Liu Chai wailed: "We originally intended for Zhao Tianhao to use the Ming Group to get the money back, but the Ming Group was no match even for a few students, so..."
