Chapter 61 Chapter 61 Lin Anran is very confused

"What?! What new development?" Lin Anran jumped up from the sofa, his mind still in a daze, and asked out loud.

Zhang Yan: "The police have already found clues about the money the kidnappers received, and they think it's related to the Xue family."

Lin Anran's eyes widened: "Really?"

"Really? Uncle Wang is calling. Miss Lin, go answer the phone?" Zhang Yan reminded.

Lin Anran ignored everything else and immediately went to answer the phone. She asked directly, "Uncle Wang, did you find this clue?"

Uncle Wang denied it: "It wasn't me, it was Mr. Zhou who found the clue."

Lin Anran was stunned for a moment, then accepted this fact calmly.

Uncle Wang explained with a smile, "Overseas isn't our territory, so the investigation is progressing more slowly. But back home, it's the opposite. A large sum of money can't just appear out of thin air. If it does, it'll leave traces."

"What about Xue Ya?" Lin Anran asked.

Uncle Wang said in a relaxed tone, "We've just found new clues overseas. We can almost confirm that the investment project initiated by the Xue family is a scam. The police have already stopped Xue Ya at the airport. During the interrogation and investigation, there's still enough time to find sufficient evidence."

Lin Anran heaved a sigh of relief. Racing against time, it seemed they had won. Too many coincidences had occurred during this time, leading to the current state of affairs.

Later, two more police officers came to Lin Anran's home and conducted routine questioning on her. Lin Anran couldn't help but ask about Xue Ya's situation. Unfortunately, the police kept it a secret from her, so she could only shut up and wait for the result.

"Ms. Lin, are you okay?" Aunt Zhong specially cooked some sweet soup for Lin Anran.

Lin Anran ate the sweet red bean soup contentedly, shook her head, and grinned, "Aunt Zhong, I'm fine. I'm very happy."

The evidence is conclusive, and the Xue siblings have no way to escape. The Xue siblings have family backgrounds, and she does not have any big family to support her, but Lin Anran has to frankly admit that she has Zhou Heyuan's support.

Lin Anran couldn't help but wonder, if it weren't for Zhou Heyuan, the investigation wouldn't have progressed so quickly. Xue Ya and Xue Kai had escaped, and others were late to the party. Wanting to arrest them? Forget it.

She has a golden finger, but her golden finger cannot give her superhuman abilities. She can only grow flowers and plants. Yes, she has won the favor of Boss Liu, Lu Honghui and even King Lu, but it is not worth it for them to do anything for her.

Lin Anran didn't want to think about the dark side, but the reality was very real and cruel. She was a nouveau riche and had no background worthy of respect. Money? Money alone would not work, or it would be more difficult to have money alone.

If some people want to control her, it may only take a word, but with Zhou Heyuan's presence, she has the ability to take advantage of the power of others.

She used to have grandparents to rely on, but later she had to rely on herself. After traveling through time, she worked hard to become a small wealthy woman, and now Zhou Heyuan took the initiative to come and rely on her... This feeling is very strange, but not annoying.

Why should I hate her? She can't just take advantage of others and act like a good girl. Others can't get close to her, but she can.

Lin Anran never thought of herself as a person of truth, kindness and beauty. She has always been self-centered and put herself at the center of everything she does. When she encounters troubles that she cannot solve, if someone reaches out to her and asks her to hug him, she would be a fool not to hug him. Otherwise, how could she be so stubborn as to refuse help and end up in even more misfortune?

Especially since her enemies are the Xue siblings who are much more powerful than her?

Lin Anran shook her head silently. She was a coward anyway.

In short, Zhou Heyuan's thigh stretching posture is very powerful, very handsome and very charming!

"Zhang Yan, even though Xue Ya has been 'invited' to the Public Security Bureau, we still can't let our guard down." Lin Anran reminded Zhang Yan that the closer things are to the end, the more they should not let their guard down, as times like these are often the most dangerous.

Zhang Yan nodded seriously: "Okay, Miss Lin."

Lin Anran decided to stay at home and not go anywhere. He lived a peaceful and happy life at home.

But outside, everyone was in an uproar over Xue Ya's arrest in the Public Security Bureau. The wealthy people doing business in Shenzhen were always better informed than ordinary people. The Big Mobile Investment Project that Xue Ya had initiated was a huge project with a 1 billion yuan investment. It was no joke. If they were not careful, they would lose it all. Some people had invested most of their fortune in it. If it all went down the drain, there would probably be more than one or two people who wanted to jump off the building.

These investors tried to gather information, but the more they inquired, the more they grew disheartened. It seemed there wasn't much to doubt, but then they thought about the Xue siblings' initial claims: that collaborating with the mobile phone manufacturer was a sure thing, that as long as they invested their money, they would immediately double their profits. But then, after they'd invested their money, problems arose, forcing Xue Ya to personally travel to the US to renegotiate the deal! This was the biggest question.

For a while, the investors were not in a hurry to use their connections to get Xue Ya out. After all, if this cooperation was real, it would be no big deal for Xue Ya to stay in jail for two days. If it was fake, she would have to be locked up.

"The company account is frozen now, but 100 million has already been transferred. The money has been transferred, but the goods haven't been shipped yet. Xue Ya still has to go to the United States in person to discuss cooperation. This is not how business is done. 100 million has already been transferred!" Cheng Dacai frowned and sighed deeply. "If we hadn't arrived in time, another 300 million would have been transferred. Moreover, the company account only has 700 million, and I don't know where the remaining 200 million has been transferred to."

Zeng Feng looked at Lin Anran and said, "We're investigating where the money went, especially the lending bank. It's urgent. The bank lent the most money, so we're fine. But the big bosses who invested the most are very anxious."

Lin Anran was surprised that Xue Ya acted so quickly. If it had been any later, wouldn't the newly established company have become an empty shell?

"The money has been transferred, but there is really no product?"

Cheng Dacai said angrily, "I haven't seen a single one of them. When I asked the company's employees, they just said they hadn't received any notice from the boss. They just stayed in the company all day. Their job is to receive investors like us. Boss Lin, don't you think it's infuriating?"

Lin Anran: "What about Xue Kai?"

Zeng Feng and Cheng Dacai had subtle expressions and said that there was no news about Xue Kai and they could not contact him.

Lin Anran: “…”

Isn't this becoming more and more like a scam?

Cheng Dacai: "As long as the goods come back, everything will be fine."

Zeng Feng: "I think it's uncertain. Mobile phones are becoming more and more popular overseas, in Hong Kong, and in Taiwan. Some of our bosses have bought some, but it's probably not going to be easy to introduce them here. This is a new technology, and it would be more reliable if the government took the lead. I was thinking too simply before."

"Maybe there is some problem with the cooperation, and Xue Ya really needs to go and talk to it." Cheng Dacai still holds some hope.

At this point, Lin Anran just received a call from Uncle Wang telling her about the progress. Butler Carson turned out to be an internationally wanted criminal!

Lin Anran's mouth opened in shock. How many surprises did the people next door have that she didn't know about?

After Lin Anran hung up the phone, she immediately told Cheng Dacai and Zeng Feng the news. Cheng Dacai and Zeng Feng reacted the same way as she did, with their mouths opened so wide that an egg could fit in.

"It's over! I really met a scammer this time!" After Cheng Dacai came back to his senses, he howled and said with a distorted face.

Zeng Feng closed his mouth and asked Lin Anran whether the news was reliable.

Lin Anran nodded and emphasized: “Very reliable.”

Zeng Feng: "This time, I really just wasted a million dollars."

Ten billion yuan, three hundred million yuan has vanished. The probability of recovering the one hundred million yuan that has already been transferred abroad is extremely small. Whether the remaining two hundred million yuan, whose whereabouts are unknown, can be recovered is also questionable. Even if they can be recovered, what about the other one hundred million yuan? The bank will definitely take the money back, and these investors...

Zeng Feng could only comfort herself and Cheng Dacai: "Every failure makes you wiser. In the future, even if I come across a delicious pancake, I will double-check before considering whether to take a bite."

Cheng Dacai covered his chest and said, "I don't think I can live long. I've lost a villa..."

Lin Anran turned her gaze towards the garden, sighing in her heart. One million was really a lot in 1992, and it would not be a small amount even in the future. She vaguely remembered that her great-grandfather had told her stories and mentioned that there were many scammers in the 1990s, many of whom cheated the rich, and even the government, and they cheated on a large scale. After all, the government investment would not be small.

Although the country has opened up to the outside world, people nowadays actually know very little about foreign countries. Even the government does not know very much about the situation abroad, so they are easily deceived. Especially now that there is a trend of "the moon is rounder abroad", Chinese people generally have a yearning for foreign countries, and some people can give up everything in the country in order to go abroad.

Lin Anran couldn't understand this kind of emotion and behavior, nor did she want to understand it. In her heart, the country would become more and more prosperous and powerful. Now everyone was crossing the river by feeling the stones. It didn't matter if they fell, they would stand up again soon.

For Cheng Dacai and Zeng Feng, losing one million is not a serious loss, but it is like cutting flesh. The couple has to work hard to make it back. They don't have much hope of getting the money back, but Wang Simei is going crazy.

"If the money can't be recovered, our family might go bankrupt! My dad invested all his liquid funds in it!" Wang Simei came to Mingyuan Villa to stake out Xue Kai, but Xue Kai hadn't even shown up, so how could she stake out someone? Wang Simei didn't want to go home, so she had no choice but to run to Lin Anran's villa to continue staking out his position.

Lin Anran almost spit out the melon seeds in his mouth: "Ahem, how much did your family invest?"

Wang Simei stretched out a palm with a listless look: "And my father also borrowed money from the bank to raise the total of 50 million."

Lin Anran swallowed her saliva. What a generous move! Boss Wang was so rich, but she didn't know what to say. Although she was now called "Boss Lin", her current business was just small-scale. She was a future landlady and currently a hair salon owner. She was completely confused about how to run a company.

"Maybe there will be good news tomorrow." Lin Anran said dryly.

A lean camel is bigger than a horse. The Wang family must have a lot of wealth. Lin Anran felt that there was nothing to worry about. Wang Simei's net worth was higher than hers. Why should she worry about whether Wang Simei would become a pauper?

Overthinking it.

After getting up early the next morning, Lin Anran learned that Xue Ya had requested a lawyer to defend her and also requested that she contact Xue's family in the United States.

"Wait, Uncle Wang, since Xue Ya is really a member of the American Xue family and she comes from a wealthy family, why would she commit fraud?" Lin Anran was very confused.

Really, is it that she can't keep up with the trend? Doesn't she understand the world anymore?
