Chu Yu then asked, "One million is no small sum. What are your plans now?"
Chu Yu is knowledgeable and experienced, and she doesn't panic at all when things happen. She's even more composed than Xu Tong, a middle-aged woman. In addition, Chu Yu once said that the mutual aid society was a Ponzi scheme, so Xu Tong thought that this girl was quite opinionated.
I'm also happy to share my thoughts with her.
"Although I put a million in, it wasn't me holding a knife to their throats and forcing them to invest. They invested because they wanted to make money. Besides, I lost the most, putting in a full 150,000. I'm barely able to take care of myself, how could I possibly have the money to pay them back?"
Xu Tong isn't stupid; she doesn't want to be taken advantage of.
If she runs away, you'll demand compensation. But what if she makes a profit? Will you share the profits with her?
Ultimately, she was just a middleman; it was their own greed and susceptibility to persuasion that made them fall for her.
“If they hadn’t been greedy, they wouldn’t have lost so much money. I also tried to persuade Zhou Yun, but she held back after your persuasion and didn’t get involved. If they had the brains of Zhou Yun and you, they wouldn’t have invested money with me, right? At most, I sympathize with them morally, but I really don’t owe them anything, and I can’t help them pay off their debts.”
Theoretically speaking, Xu Tong is right.
"There are guards in the compound, so why would anyone block your door?"
“This group of people forced their way in. The security department just arrived and is going to take them all to the police station. This isn’t an ordinary place, where people can come and go as they please.”
Xu Tong was quite worried, fearing that this matter would affect her man's career.
Besides, although her husband has a high status, in those days, no family had much money. Her husband could only bring back his salary. It was only in the last few years, when Xu Tong's younger brother started a business, that she had some savings.
A significant portion of that 150,000 yuan was borrowed by her.
She really didn't know how to pay back the money.
Chu Yu gave her a hint: "If you bring the person back, you'll have money, right?"
Xu Tong was taken aback, staring blankly at Chu Yu for a moment. Yes, if they could bring the people back, they would have money. The logic was simple, and anyone could figure it out, but Xu Tong, like everyone else, assumed that these people had run away, that the money had long since gone overseas, and that it was impossible to get it back.
Yes, it's true that Zhou Fangchun and Zhou Jian'an ran away, but Xu Tong is different from the other members.
Her family lived here, and her husband also lived here. Her family's connections were somewhat weaker than the Dai family's. However, her family was different from the Dai family. Xu Tong's family members had direct connections within the public security system. Her younger brother worked at the Guangdong Provincial Customs, and her friend worked in the Armed Police Border Defense Department.
Even if her family isn't well-connected, finding connections wouldn't be difficult for her.
She could easily contact them and have someone stop Zhou Fangchun and Zhou Jian'an.
The two had only been on the run for a few days when the policies in the port city tightened, making it difficult to cross the border whether they swam to the other side or took a fishing boat.
Even if it's over, it doesn't matter. She has connections and can easily get Hong Kong to send the person back.
To others, this might seem like a pipe dream, but to Xu Tong, it's really nothing.
Chu Yu had her reasons for reminding Xu Tong.
After all, she had sent Li Jinchao and Chen Shunan to stop Zhou Fangchun and Zhou Jianan, but she hadn't received any news from them for two days and didn't know if things had changed.
It would be better to delegate specialized tasks to specialized personnel.
Otherwise, even if Chu Yu manages to bring the person back, it will be difficult to explain to the police.
Why would a college student like her be so interested in mutual assistance that has nothing to do with her?
