After hearing Lu Yuan's words, Chen Kaiming was stunned.
"What? You brought Fatty Zhu over?" Chen Kaiming asked, a mixture of confusion and surprise in his voice.
“That’s right, I’m planning to get this money. After all, ten million is no small amount; it’s enough to get our mine up and running! But I still won’t be able to cover the subsequent funding. Although Knife is a two-faced person, I feel that his business acumen isn’t as good as Fatty Zhu’s. So, if we’re careful, we can still cooperate with him. We can also buy the equipment the mine needs as soon as possible. After all, although things on the black market are expensive, they are relatively easy to obtain.”
After pondering for a long time, Chen Kaiming finally spoke, "Alright, I'll arrange this. You're in charge of protecting Fatty Zhu's safety. If he dies, we won't be able to get this money! Also, Fatty Zhu is quite cunning and treacherous, so don't fall for his tricks!"
Lu Yuan nodded.
The following evening, Lu Yuan received another call from Daozi.
Lu Yuan picked up the phone and pressed the answer button. Dao Zi's voice was a little hoarse, clearly indicating that he still found this kind of usurpation of power somewhat difficult to accept.
"When are you free? How about tonight?"
"Oh? The money has all been raised?"
“That’s right, but my men haven’t been able to find Fatty Zhu. Did you hide him somewhere?” Daozi’s voice carried a hint of anxiety.
"How could that be? I'm a man of my word. Besides, Fatty Zhu is of no use to me. Why would I keep him around? Don't worry, he's probably looking for other men to help him escape. Think carefully about whether he has any escape plans left behind. After all, it's no easy feat for Fatty Zhu to have risen to this level!" Lu Yuan said softly, trying his best to make his voice sound calm.
Meanwhile, Daozi suddenly covered the microphone and whispered to the person next to him.
However, Lu Yuan's hearing was far beyond that of ordinary people. He immediately heard a woman's voice through the receiver and was stunned for a moment. Then he realized that Daozi's personality would definitely not support him taking over Zhu Pangzi's business entirely. There must be someone helping him behind the scenes. From the woman's voice, Lu Yuan could tell that this woman must be the woman behind Daozi.
With a sigh, Lu Yuan felt sorry for Fatty Zhu and Daozi. After all, being manipulated by a woman was truly terrifying.
After a while, the voice from the other side of the knife came over again.
"Lu Yuan, we're partners now. Since we're partners, we should be honest with each other. If Fatty Zhu is really in your hands, please hand him over to us. I don't mind giving you more funds then! I know you're planning to do big business, so you're extremely short of funds. As long as you hand Fatty Zhu over to me, I'll give you an extra five million! What do you say?"
It has to be said that Daozi's hoarse voice was not suitable for bewitching people, and Lu Yuan immediately sensed the other party's guilty conscience in it.
"Hehe, Daozi, you don't believe me? I already told you, there's no use for Fatty Zhu, I've already let him go! If you had told me earlier that you were going to hand him over, I wouldn't have let him go like this. Sigh! What a pity!"
Knife remained silent for a while before letting out a soft sigh and saying, "Alright! Tonight at 9:30, I'll bring the money, and you bring your goods. Let's meet and talk again!"
"Okay, but I don't want yesterday's incident to happen again this time!"
"Don't worry, I would never stoop to such underhanded tactics, you can rest assured!"
After hanging up the phone, Lu Yuan breathed a slight sigh of relief. The funding issue was resolved so simply. The next step was to see if Fatty Zhu could keep his promise and hand over the ten million. If the other party was really playing him, Lu Yuan would not hesitate to hand him over to Daozi and get five million.
At 9:30 p.m., Lu Yuan arrived at the transaction location as promised, bringing his belongings.
After a while, a black sedan drove up from a distance, and two people got out of the car. Due to the lighting, Lu Yuan couldn't see them very clearly, but he vaguely felt that one of them was a woman.
The two walked over hand in hand. Sure enough, it was Daozi and a woman with a particularly alluring appearance. However, when Lu Yuan saw this woman, his first impression was that she was extremely cunning and scheming. She was definitely not a simple woman and had a great resemblance to the socialites he had encountered in his previous life.
"Sorry, something came up and I was delayed. Um, did you bring your things?" Daozi looked a little embarrassed and didn't introduce anything to the woman beside him.
Lu Yuan nodded, then tossed over a bag that was next to him.
"These are just some seafood samples; I didn't bring anything else. Once I confirm the cash on my end, I'll take you there to have a look!"
Daozi nodded, then looked at the woman beside him, who also nodded slightly in agreement.
Then Daozi squatted down and opened the pocket. As soon as the pocket was opened, two Australian dragons immediately crawled out.
Upon seeing the live Australian lobster, Daozi and the woman beside him immediately showed expressions of surprise.
The woman gently pressed down on the Australian lobster with her hand, and the lobster immediately raised its two huge pincers. Instead of being afraid, the lobster showed a look of joy on its face.
