Chapter 916 The Person Behind It
“Nan Chu reminded me that the plan might change, so I came back first.” Bo Jinyan’s breathing was not very steady, and there was a clear hint of anxiety in his voice: “I’m going upstairs to hold a video conference.”
After saying that, he went straight upstairs, his long legs leaping over several steps.
Sang Ruo noticed this detail and felt that things seemed to be developing more and more in the direction she had predicted.
This is not a good sign.
Upstairs study.
Bo Jinyan opened his laptop and logged into his account.
Not long after, Fu Chenqing's sleepy face appeared on his computer screen.
"Ah Yan, it's so late at night, can't you let people get some sleep?"
Fu Chenqing yawned, looking like he hadn't woken up yet.
Bo Jinyan spoke with a serious expression: "Sorry to disturb your sleep, but this matter is rather urgent, so I wanted to ask for clarification."
"What's wrong?" His serious expression dispelled much of Fu Chenqing's sleepiness: "Why are you so serious?"
Bo Jinyan said in a deep voice, "I snatched a lot of projects from my uncle, but all the project managers are currently out of contact. I want you to help me find out where my uncle is, especially who he has met with in the last few days?"
"Wouldn't it be more appropriate for you to arrange for Zhang Ye or A Cheng to do this?" Fu Chenqing was a little confused as to why he would choose someone from afar instead of someone closer to him. "After all, one of them is by your side, and the other is stationed in the country. They are far more suitable than me."
"Besides, your uncle emigrated overseas many years ago. Even if I had three heads and six arms, I wouldn't be able to find out about their affairs in the United States!"
It wasn't that he didn't want to investigate, but rather that it was really difficult for him to find out about Xu Yi's affairs in the United States.
After all, investigations also need to be tailored to local conditions.
Bo Jinyan was also aware of this: "Fu Chenqing, do you think I wouldn't think of something you can think of?"
"Of course I know you can't find out about my uncle's affairs in the United States. What I want you to find out is his affairs in China. Surely you can find out about that?"
With his plan so meticulous, and the Xu family on the verge of bankruptcy, how could his uncle possibly raise three billion US dollars in such a short time?
Moreover, even with bank loans, the review process alone takes a considerable amount of time; it's not something that can be approved on a whim.
"Of course I can check that." Fu Chenqing seemed to understand something: "You don't suspect that your uncle couldn't get a loan from an American bank, so he came to China to borrow money?"
Bo Jinyan said calmly, "It's not impossible."
My uncle was able to raise so much money in such a short time, unless he borrowed money in China. Otherwise, given his predicament in the United States, how could he possibly get a loan?
Only by borrowing domestically can one raise so much money in a short period of time without anyone noticing.
This was his real purpose in having Fu Chenqing investigate in secret.
“Since it’s about his whereabouts in the country, I will investigate it for you as soon as possible.” Fu Chenqing realized the seriousness of the matter: “However, if he has never been to the country, I may not be able to find out. You should be prepared for that.”
Bo Jinyan curled his lips, his eyes full of meaning: "Don't worry, I'm mentally prepared for this. Go and investigate quickly, and let me know as soon as you have any news."
The two exchanged a few more pleasantries before ending the video call.
But as soon as he hung up, Sang Ruo's voice came through the phone: "Is this what you meant by video conferencing?"
"Things may change, so I naturally need to be fully prepared."
Bo Jin reached out and pulled her into his arms, letting her sit on his lap. His large hand encircled her slender waist: "Xiao Ruo, this time it was my negligence that gave Uncle a chance to come back to life. Will you blame me?"
Sang Ruo shook her head and hugged his neck: "How could I blame you? Blame our enemies for being too cunning."
Wasn't everything he did for her?
If it weren't for her, why would he have fallen out with his uncle?
It all started because of her. She's too busy being forgiving, so how could she bear to blame him?
“You’re the one who understands me best.” Bo Jinyan lowered his eyes and kissed her pink lips. “But this time, if Uncle really gets the funding in China, then this conflict may be a protracted war.”
"Because I'm not sure if my uncle can always escape danger, and I don't know if the person who helps him behind the scenes is willing to help him every time."
In other words, the uncertainty lies with the person who helped the uncle.
If that person only helped his uncle once, and missed this opportunity, he could prepare for the next counterattack.
But what if the other party keeps helping the uncle?
Therefore, he cannot act rashly until Fu Chenqing finds out who that person is.
Sang Ruo's premonition was somewhat different from his: "I feel that person will only help once."
"How do you know?" Bo Jinyan pressed.
Sang Ruo chuckled softly, toying with the buttons on his shirt: "Think about it, if you're willing to help your uncle every time, given his personality, won't he make exorbitant demands? Treat that person like an ATM?"
"Moreover, in Beijing, anyone who can come up with three billion US dollars at once must be a prominent figure, and we're all in the same circle, so it's not difficult to investigate."
“You’re right.” Upon hearing her reminder, Bo Jinyan seemed to realize something: “Anyone who can come up with three billion US dollars at once must have business overseas. Apart from those in foreign trade, you can count the number of people who can venture overseas on one hand.”
It's fair to say that there are only a handful of people in the entire Beijing social circle who have this ability.
Could it be...?
He suddenly thought of someone, but he couldn't figure out why he would help his uncle.
Seeing that he already had an answer in his heart, Sang Ruo said, "Ayan, don't think it's impossible. Sometimes, the most impossible answer is the most correct one."
Although she couldn't say for sure whether the two of them were thinking the same person, she just had this inexplicable premonition.
A woman's intuition is usually very accurate.
She trusted her own judgment.
Just as Bo Jinyan was about to speak, Sang Ruo's phone, which was in her pocket, suddenly rang.
It's the sound of a WeChat notification.
Sang Ruo took out her phone and glanced at it, only to find that it was a message from Wei Haoyu.
Wei Haoyu didn't post anything else, just a picture, or more precisely, a picture of both parties' signatures at the bottom of an agreement.
These two names are actually names that both of them know, yet they are two people who appear in the same agreement, which is quite unbelievable.
Party A: Gong Lian; Party B: Xu Yi.
"Ayan, look." Sang Ruo showed him her phone: "Isn't this Uncle's signature?"
Bo Jinyan took the phone from her hand and stared at the screen for a long time: "It seems that our guesses were correct."
