Chapter 124.
The fight was in full swing, and the four major families, each suffering losses, discovered that while they were concentrating on each other, someone attacked them from behind. However, the attack was not large in the beginning, and they were unable to be distracted, so they did not notice it.
But now that they have been eaten up a lot, they can no longer hide the other party's actions. The funds already invested in the market cannot be withdrawn immediately, but the four major families immediately began to investigate who was secretly acting against them, and then they got an unexpected but reasonable name.
The head of the Shen family called his son over. The anger on his face was not concealed at all. He threw the information handed over by his subordinates after investigating them at Shen Tianxing. For the first time, he looked at Shen Tianxing with disappointment in his eyes.
"Is this the foolproof assurance you promised me? Take a good look at the situation now?" Patriarch Shen said angrily.
Shen Tianxing was completely confused after being scolded. He squatted down and picked up the information on the ground. After reading it for a while, a look of astonishment appeared on his face.
“How is that possible?” Shen Tianxing couldn’t help but say, “I want to find Xu Baiqing and ask him clearly.”
Shen Tianxing took out his cell phone and called Xu Baiqing. The call was hung up by itself and Xu Baiqing did not answer his call. Shen Tianxing could not help but show a look of emptiness.
"Haven't you figured out the situation yet?" Patriarch Shen said, looking at his son's useless efforts with dismay, "It's obvious you've been tricked by their scheme."
Ever since he got the information sent by his subordinates, the head of the Shen family analyzed what was going on from the information. He didn't expect that they were actually plotted against by two young girls. It was also because they looked down on Qian Yirong and Xu Baiqing because of their young age.
But they actually dared to take such a gamble, and Qian Yirong was able to find such a good opportunity to enter. It can only be said that the young are to be feared, because if Qian Yirong was discovered earlier, they who had not yet fully committed could easily turn around and rush to deal with Qian Yirong who clearly wanted to reap the benefits.
If they had won this confrontation later, they could have taken advantage of the victory to counterattack Qian Yirong and devour her. However, they and the Mu family had reached the most critical moment and most of them were involved, which resulted in them being unable to effectively counterattack Qian Yirong.
"It has to end as soon as possible, otherwise the entire Shen Group will be dragged down." The head of the Shen family said coldly.
Shen Tianxing responded with a numb expression, but after leaving the office of the head of the Shen family, the expression on his face became ferocious. He had never fallen so hard since he was born. Xu Baiqing could not be contacted, but there was still someone who needed to be held responsible for this matter. Shen Tianxing called another person.
Qian Chengshu, who was full of vigor and vitality a few days ago, now had messy hair, wrinkled clothes, and even bloodshot eyes. He looked at the phone on the coffee table in front of him with a panic expression, but he didn't have the courage to pick it up.
After enjoying the joy of spending money like water in the Octavia Club, he quickly fell into the trap. Thinking that he would soon take back the Qian family and even lead the Qian family to a higher level, he didn't care much about winning or losing in the gambling.
Even when the four major families started fighting, he had the leisure to come to the casino of the Mingrui Club to have fun. After all, in his opinion, he was betting on both sides, and no matter which side won, he would be invincible, and Xu Baiqing could cover the bottom line, so he spent a lot of money in the casino, lost all the money he brought, and even wrote an IOU to the casino.
But in his opinion, the good situation suddenly took a turn for the worse. Qian Yirong, who seemed to have no interest in getting involved in this huge change, suddenly took action, catching everyone off guard.
Then Qian Chengshu was held accountable by both parties. Both the Mu family and the Shen family accused him of not following the contract and told him to wait to pay the penalty. Only then did Qian Chengshu come back to his senses from the casino.
And I don’t know if the casino also got wind of it and started to use his IOU to collect the debt, which made Qian Chengshu panic. He didn’t get a good rest during this period, and his current image made him even worse.
His mind was in a mess and he couldn't even think of a solution until a name suddenly flashed through his mind. Like grabbing a life-saving straw, Qian Chengshu immediately grabbed the phone on the table and ran out of the room.
"Mr. Qian, we are a small business here. I don't know when you can pay back the debt." Not long after walking out of the room, Qian Chengshu was stopped by the manager of the casino.
Qian Chengshu looked at the kind smile on the casino manager's face, but he shuddered unconsciously, because he had seen the casino manager with the same smile, taking away a gambler who had lost all his money and breaking his hands.
"Ma...I'll return it right away. I'll go back to the company to get the money." Qian Chengshu said, avoiding the casino manager's eyes.
"Then we will wait here for your return, General Qian. After all, a big shot like General Qian would not owe money and not pay it back, don't you think?" The casino manager said with a smile, pointing out that the casino had already obtained the specific information of Qian Chengshu. If he dared to owe money and not pay it back, he should consider the consequences himself.
Qian Chengshu ran out of the casino with a stiff smile and left the Octavia Club. He went directly to the underground parking lot and drove towards Qian's at a high speed.
Qian Chengshu came to the Qian's building, and the receptionist at the door almost didn't recognize him. If Qian Chengshu hadn't approached quickly, the staff on the balcony would have almost called the security guard to drive away Qian Chengshu, who looked like a down-and-out homeless man.
As soon as Qian Chengshu entered the Qian Building, Xu Baiqing in the president's office received the news. She put the documents she had processed aside, sat on the chair and looked at the door leisurely, waiting for Qian Chengshu's arrival.
"Xu Baiqing, what's wrong with you?" Qian Chengshu didn't even wear the mask of a good brother. He looked like a madman. He suddenly pushed open the door of the president's office, slammed his hands on the desk in front of Xu Baiqing and questioned him.
"What's going on?" Xu Baiqing looked up at him. Although he was clearly at a disadvantage, he felt as if he was superior.
"You are still pretending to be stupid. Why don't you follow the contract?" Qian Chengshu's expression became even uglier. If the desk in front of him wasn't too wide, he would have wanted to go up and grab Xu Baiqing by the collar.
"I don't remember signing any contract, brother." Xu Baiqing raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a sarcastic smile. The word "brother" sounded meaningful to her.
The expression on Qian Chengshu's face froze. Yes, he remembered that although he had used Xu Baiqing's banner, he had signed the contracts with both parties alone because he had never thought of sharing any of the benefits he could get with Xu Baiqing.
"You planned this a long time ago?" Qian Chengshu realized belatedly.
"I don't have any plans. Wasn't it you, brother, who arranged everything?" Xu Baiqing was calm. Her composure at this moment made Qian Chengshu feel some familiar pressure.
"...It's Qian Yirong, right?" Qian Chengshu suddenly realized something and looked at Xu Baiqing and said, "This is all Qian Yirong's plan. You listened to her and lied to me."
"You're not right," Xu Baiqing shook his head, denying Qian Chengshu's guess. He showed a hint of hope, and then he said calmly, "Rongrong and I planned this together."
The hope that had been burning in Qian Chengshu's eyes suddenly died out. Only then did he realize that he had been deceived by Qian Yirong and Xu Baiqing. When he was thinking of using Xu Baiqing, she and Qian Yirong were probably laughing at his stupidity.
"Why are you doing this? You and I are blood relatives." Qian Chengshu shouted in a defensive manner.
"Blood relatives?" Xu Baiqing sneered, "Then my blood-related brother, do you want to think about what you have done?"
As soon as Xu Baiqing said this, the pain on Qian Chengshu's face froze, like a ridiculous mask. Qian Chengshu knew that playing the emotional card was useless and he thought of something even more terrifying.
"Is President Su one of yours too?" Qian Chengshu thought of President Su who agreed to let him use the Qianshi shares in his hands as collateral for funds.
"You only thought of this now?" Xu Baiqing looked at Qiancheng Shu with disappointment.
Xu Baiqing's frank admission plunged Qiancheng Shu into even greater despair. In the current situation, he no longer expected to gain greater benefits. The best outcome was that he could withdraw the funds in his hands safely.
However, the contract he signed with President Su was to redeem the shares mortgaged to President Su, and he had to return 15% of the principal as interest in addition to the principal.
At that time, Qian Chengshu didn't think that 15% of the principal would be a difficult sum of money to come up with, but now, apart from the funds invested in the market, all his money has been lost in the casino, and he also owes the casino a large sum of money. He doesn't even know if he can get back the principal he invested in the market.
Then he would have no way to redeem his shares in Qianshi. If he lost his shares in Qianshi, he would no longer have any chips to make a comeback, and he would even have to face debt collection from the casino.
"Sister...sister," realizing that his situation was very bad, Qian Chengshu forced himself to give Xu Baiqing a flattering smile. He tried to make himself look like a good brother. He said, "You have been deceived by Qian Yirong. She won't treat you so well forever..."
"Didn't I tell you that Rongrong originally planned to transfer all of Qian's shares to me, but I didn't agree." Xu Baiqing said this without waiting for Qian Chengshu to finish his provocative words.
"What?!" Qian Chengshu was shocked. He had always used Qian Yirong and only let Xu Baiqing be the share agent. He was just using her to sow discord between the two.
But only now did he realize that Qian Yirong had originally intended to hand over the Qian family to Xu Baiqing. So, did everything he had done during this period make him a clown in Xu Baiqing's eyes?
"You've been lying to me from the beginning." Qian Chengshu originally thought that Xu Baiqing was coaxed back by Qian Yirong, and he didn't expect that this matter was a trap from the beginning.
"Of course, otherwise how would I know that my good brother has such ambitions?" Xu Baiqing sneered. If she had not accepted Qian's shares, Qian Chengshu would not have believed her, which would have given her the opportunity to take advantage of the loophole.
