Chapter 192 The Richest Man Died
Tu Yao nodded slowly.
From the investigation team's perspective, it's perfectly reasonable to start the investigation by focusing on the company's owner.
After all, finding the person is indeed the key.
but……
"Sangsang, I remember you said that the manager who used to help you with your investments has not left or entered the country at all, right?"
"yes."
"How did the owner of this materials company suddenly become known?"
Cheng Sangsang's eyes flickered: "You mean, this is fake news that was deliberately released?"
"I can't be sure, but Bai Chumeng must know about our progress. Since she knows, she can't just sit idly by."
“Even if she didn’t do anything, we can’t put all our hopes on that boss. It will take three days to go back and forth, and we can’t afford any mistakes in the meantime.”
"But what if something goes wrong?"
Cheng Sangsang was silent for a while, then said, "...Tu Xiaomao, I understand."
“My uncle told me yesterday that the investigation team is already helping me investigate that boss, and I will have to do the rest myself to fill in the gaps.”
So her uncle probably figured it out too, but with the intention of testing her, he only hinted at it briefly.
Fortunately, she realized it in time.
But where should we begin to identify and address these gaps...?
Tu Yao thought for a moment: "Sang Sang, do you still have the investigation materials that Uncle Liqing gave you?"
"exist!"
Tu Yao opened the file bag, her gaze sweeping down the document bit by bit, finally settling on the company's registered address.
After staring at it for a while, she took out her phone, opened the map, and entered the registered location.
The registered address is in the suburbs of the port city.
As Tu Yao zooms in little by little, the surrounding landmarks and locations appear one by one on the page.
Suddenly, Tu Yao's fingertips paused.
"...Sangsang, didn't Xiaobai mention before that you bought a floor next to the crematorium to use as an exhibition hall?"
Cheng Sangsang blushed instantly, her eyes darting around: "How do you still remember...?"
That stinky Xu Bai, he's always undermining her!
Tu Yao continued, "Is that place called Banyan Tree Village?"
"……yes."
Cheng Sangsang nodded in a deep voice: "Number four in Rongshu Lane."
“Tu Xiaomao, it’s not my fault. It’s because… Bai Chumeng said back then that she had reliable information that a commercial district would be developed near Rongshuli within five years.”
"I thought it would be perfect to buy it in advance and turn it into a dance hall, but later the dance hall wasn't suitable, so it was changed into an exhibition hall."
Three years have passed, and the development of the commercial district has yet to begin.
Instead, a bunch of off-site shops have sprung up around the crematorium.
Now she realized that Bai Chumeng was deliberately playing a trick on her.
"...Okay, it's my fault too."
As they were talking, she suddenly realized something and immediately moved closer.
"Tu Xiaomao, did you find something?"
Tu Yao handed over the phone.
"The materials company is registered near the exhibition hall."
The materials company is registered at No. 16 Qushuiwan.
Four hundred meters diagonally opposite Qushui Bay is No. 4 Rongshuli.
Cheng Sangsang was stunned for a moment.
What does this mean?
A piece of information suddenly flashed through Tu Yao's mind.
“…Sangsang, you just said that the company warehouse is empty and that dozens of tons of materials have been disposed of.”
"yes."
...But where will all these materials go?
She paused for a second, then looked up again.
Tu Yao felt that she had grasped this information.
"Could you show me the project proposals from the investments your manager has made over the past few years?"
Cheng Sangsang didn't dare to hesitate and quickly brought over a stack of documents!
"They're all here!"
Tu Yao looked through them one by one; there were dozens of projects, and they were basically all real industries.
Generally speaking, the investment costs derived from real businesses are readily apparent, but they are also very susceptible to unforeseen factors, which in turn affect the returns.
However, due to Bai Chumeng's deliberate design, the returns on these projects were pitifully low.
Bai Chumeng gradually depleted Sangsang's luck in this way.
In half an hour, the two marked the registered locations of all the projects on the map.
After marking it, Cheng Sangsang's face darkened.
There are dozens of projects, more than ten of which are located in the suburbs!
“…Tu Xiaomao, I understand what you mean.”
"You think Bai Chumeng secretly transported the remaining materials to these places, is that right?"
...
The next morning, Cheng Sangsang and Tu Yao set off for the suburbs.
After getting into the car, Cheng Sangsang turned on her phone and was startled by the constant stream of messages!
Upon opening it, unsurprisingly, it was Xu Bai.
Xu Bai has sent her a lot of messages since last night.
All of them were tearful complaints.
[Little Curly Hair, my uncle made me walk all night, a good ten kilometers from your Cheng family's house to my house!]
[Little Curly Hair, is my older sister calmed down yet?]
My uncle seems to have disappeared; I don't know where he went.
Cheng Sangsang replied with "read" and immediately turned off her phone.
That scoundrel Xu Bai, we absolutely cannot let him have the chance to interfere with her when she's doing something important!
Suddenly, Cheng Sangsang glanced at the girl beside her, and became curious again.
After holding back for a while, he couldn't help but ask, "...Tu Xiaomao, you're so smart, how can you remember so many key points?"
"...Did you never guess Chairman Xu's identity?"
"Actually, looking back now, it's quite easy to guess."
Tu Yao was tapping on the screen to let Madam Jiang and her brothers know she was safe when she heard this, and her movements stopped instantly.
...Indeed, it's easy to guess.
For example, why did Xu Bai, who originally came to target her brother, suddenly switch sides?
For example, when he agreed to come down the mountain, she and her older brother were arguing about who would live in the master bedroom one second, and the next second, they were told that the house had been bought and she had been given the right to live there.
For example, the time she and her brother were trending on social media for being attacked online, how did her brother manage to obtain all of Lin Qiuping's incriminating evidence in just one night?
And every word that guided her in daily life.
...
All along, Koike has helped her a great deal without her even realizing it.
She knew that Xiaochi's identity was definitely not that of an ordinary wealthy person.
But she never guessed that he was the richest man in Hong Kong.
Never.
Cheng Sangsang asked, puzzled, "Why?"
Tu Yao lowered her eyes, because...
In the original novel, the richest man in Hong Kong died.
