Wei Ming answered the phone, but he didn't speak first; he wanted to wait for the other party to speak first.
The other party did not speak immediately.
They remained deadlocked for several seconds.
Those few seconds felt like years; her back was soaked with sweat, and her face was pale.
Seeing Zheng Xiuxiu's appearance, Wei Ming became even more suspicious.
Just then, a man's voice came through the phone.
"Hey, Xiuxiu, what's wrong?"
Upon hearing the man's voice, Zheng Xiuxiu was also stunned.
[How is that possible?]
Wei Ming snorted; "It's me. What were you talking about with my wife just now? What could possibly require a phone call in the middle of the night?"
The other person smiled.
"Oh, Wei Ming, it's been a long time."
"Don't give me that nonsense. Xiuxiu just told me that you wanted to lend her money, right?"
"I've made some money, and I'll definitely lend it to her if she needs it."
"50 million! Lend it to me for three months, and I'll still pay you the interest, which will only be higher than the bank's, definitely not lower."
There was another smile on the other end.
“I have 50 million, but I didn’t say I would lend it to you. I said I could lend it to Xiuxiu if she needs it, but it’s different for you. If you need money, you can go directly to the bank.”
If he could contact the bank directly, Wei Ming wouldn't need to make this call. He's in a tight financial situation right now; he hasn't even paid off his bank loan yet, so why would anyone lend him money?
He would only take this step if he had to mortgage it, but he wouldn't do it unless absolutely necessary.
"Then just consider it a loan to Xiuxiu. Xiuxiu and I are husband and wife, you know that."
"this……"
The other party hesitated.
"What's wrong? You're not broke, are you? If you're broke, don't talk big like that."
"Hehe, you don't need to provoke me. Do you know why I called Xiuxiu? I know everything about your supermarket situation. Wei Ming, let's be frank. If you want me to lend money to Xiuxiu, fine, but I have one condition."
Wei Ming hesitated for a moment; "Go ahead!"
"I need you to transfer the shares to Xiuxiu's name. Is that alright?"
"What? What do you mean?"
Wei Ming became somewhat agitated upon hearing this.
“I didn’t mean anything by it. I just want Xiuxiu to be happy. That’s all. If you don’t agree, then pretend I didn’t say anything. I can see that your supermarket won’t last much longer, and the bank can see that too. If you want your supermarket to survive, you have to agree to my request. Right now, I’m the only one willing to lend you the money.”
Wei Ming clenched his fists tightly; he was conflicted.
"You want her to get the shares so the two of you can live happily ever after, right?"
"Hehe, Wei Ming, don't think so badly of people. Do you think everyone is like you? I truly love Xiuxiu. I don't even need to think to know that with your character, you definitely won't treat Xiuxiu well. Only by taking control of the shares in her hands will you treat her well. Of course, you can refuse me. Anyway, when your supermarket goes bankrupt, you won't have any right to compete with me."
These words struck a nerve with Wei Ming. He took a deep breath and looked at his wife.
"I'll think about it!"
"Okay, I'm telling you, I don't have much time. I'm leaving the country the day after tomorrow. You'd better think it over during this time."
"Know."
Wei Ming hung up the phone and then looked at his wife.
"Did you conspire with him all along?"
Zheng Xiuxiu's mind was still buzzing.
She wasn't sure if that person was her cousin. Was Hu Ling really that powerful that she managed to bring her cousin here?
But now we can only continue as they say.
“Amin, I didn’t. He called me first.”
Wei Ming was still somewhat skeptical, but given the current situation, he had to give it a try, even if he had some doubts, because he had truly reached a dead end.
He took a deep breath and softened his tone.
"Xiuxiu, can you promise me something?"
"Amin, you speak."
"I can transfer the shares to you, but once the supermarket gets through this crisis, you have to transfer the shares back to me in full. Can you do that?"
"I can!!"
Zheng Xiuxiu agreed without hesitation.
Wei Ming breathed a sigh of relief; Zheng Xiuxiu still had her own feelings for him.
"Okay, then contact him tomorrow. Remember, if you dare to go back on your word, I will definitely not let you off the hook. Although my sister is not helping me now, if you piss me off, I am capable of anything."
Seeing his somewhat ferocious face, Zheng Xiuxiu nodded in fear.
“Amin, I know.”
"Okay, let's sleep together tonight, as a reward for you!"
Zheng Xiuxiu nodded, and then the two of them went into the room together.
...
9 a.m. the next day.
Hu Ling's phone rang again.
She had already gotten up early by then. She got off work very late, but she had never slept in.
Upon seeing Zheng Xiuxiu's phone number, she chuckled and then answered the call.
Many people don't know that Hu Ling has a very impressive skill: she can imitate other people's voices perfectly. She can imitate any voice she has ever heard, regardless of gender or age.
When investigating Zheng Xiuxiu, she had already arranged the role of Gu Kejie. She had also heard Gu Kejie's early voice. Although the voice may have changed a bit over the years, she believed that Wei Ming would not be able to tell the difference.
Last night, Zheng Xiuxiu suddenly called her, which made her suspicious, so she didn't answer immediately but waited a minute before calling back.
The demeanor of making a phone call proactively versus being forced to answer it is completely different.
She used Gu Kejie's voice to arrange a meeting with Wei Ming. Of course, she couldn't go directly to see Wei Ming; Gu Kejie had been abroad for so many years, and she didn't have the ability to find him.
She told the other party to send someone over, and Wei Ming didn't suspect anything. Everything went according to her plan. Although there were some minor hiccups, they were all within a controllable range.
Around noon, Hu Ling received a call from the person she had sent there.
The share transfer agreement has been signed and checked to be completely fine. It seems that Wei Ming did not hold back any tricks. Perhaps he believes that he can completely control Zheng Xiuxiu.
The 50 million was transferred as well. Of course, she did this not to help Li Fulai and Wei Ming; Hu Ling had her own plans.
...
Wei Ming breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the money and smiled.
"What a lovesick fool, huh? What an idiot!"
When he was scolding Gu Kejie, Zheng Xiuxiu was sitting next to him, her hands clenched into fists under the table.
Gu Kejie didn't come over, which means that the person on the phone wasn't him, but that doesn't mean Wei Ming can insult him at will.
Zheng Xiuxiu loved Gu Kejie. The reason she got together with that fitness coach was because the coach's face resembled Gu Kejie's.
Although Zheng Xiuxiu had resumed marital relations with Wei Ming last night, her mindset had completely changed. She had originally thought that the two of them could go back to being a normal couple.
But the moment the share transfer agreement was signed, a desire for revenge ignited in her heart.
It's terrifying when a woman has thoughts of revenge. Zheng Xiuxiu wanted to repay Wei Ming for all the grievances she had suffered over the years.
[Wei Ming, your smugness won't last long!]
...
Tian Dongqiang was still in Xu Weiwei's hometown. After having breakfast with the people he had brought, he made an excuse to go to the toilet.
He went to a corner, looked left and right, and seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he started making a phone call.
"I'm currently in Xu Weiwei's hometown!"
Tian Dongqiang called Chen Zhe.
He had thought it through all day. Even if he found Xu Weiwei's parents, it wouldn't solve anything, because all the evidence was with Chen Zhe. With Hu Lin's support, Wei Ming couldn't win. Last night, someone called him, saying that the supplier was making other moves. He knew time was running out, so he had to choose sides.
Chen Zhe was not surprised to receive a call from Tian Dongqiang.
"So, have you found them?"
"No, I heard they haven't come back yet."
"Then what do you mean by calling me?"
Chen Zhe asked.
Tian Dongqiang hesitated for a moment; "Do you still stand by what you told me before?"
"Oh, what is it?"
Chen Zhe pretended not to know.
Tian Dongqiang became anxious.
"Chen Zhe, are you trying to back out? You said that if I came forward to testify against Wei Ming, you would acquire Lifulai Supermarket and let me manage it!"
Chen Zhe smiled.
"Oh...you mean this~"
"That's right, I've thought it through, and I agree to cooperate with you!"
"Haha, sorry, that promise was from before, it doesn't count anymore."
"You!!!! Chen Zhe, how dare you play me!!!"
Tian Dongqiang was furious. He was about to explode because he had been played by the person who had cheated on him.
"Tsk tsk, don't be angry. If the previous promise doesn't count, we can talk about other conditions, right? In your current situation, even if you were given a supermarket, you wouldn't be able to manage it. If you were given a supermarket to manage, aren't you afraid of Wei Meng retaliating against you?"
"this……"
After thinking about it carefully, Tian Dongqiang realized that Chen Zhe was right. If he really sent Wei Ming in and put him in charge of Lifulai, Wei Meng would definitely not agree.
"So what do you want to do?"
"I can give you some money; money is what you need most right now."
Tian Dongqiang nodded.
"I want 30 million!"
"Tsk tsk, you're asking for the moon, asking for 30 million right off the bat. Why don't you just rob someone?"
“You don’t need to haggle with me. I know you won’t end up paying for this. Sending Wei Ming to jail is very risky. The information you have isn’t enough to completely destroy him. I have other evidence. I won’t do it for less than 30 million.”
Sure enough, Tian Dongqiang had a trick up his sleeve.
Chen Zhe laughed; "30 million is fine, but you have to let me know what you have in hand."
Tian Dongqiang hesitated for a moment.
"Evidence that he committed murder."
