Chapter 508: Chapter 508: Spending Money to Avoid Disaster?

Although Zhong Daqiao knew that Song Yunuan was quite capable, the attitude of these two people made him feel it was quite laughable.

But since Shangguan Heng and Chairman Wang had both pulled out, leaving him alone really wasn’t easy to sustain.

It was only a matter of time before someone reported them and everything came crashing down.

So, he also had to go with the flow.

Getting through the current difficulty was what mattered most.

Seeing how resolute the two were, Zhong Daqiao said, "We three are one and the same, since the two of you have reached an agreement, then I agree as well."

Thus, the secret underground laboratory that had been built for nearly 40 years was about to face dissolution.

This was something none of the three of them had anticipated.

All three families immediately sprang into action.

Although there were many involved and complicated matters, if they really wanted to do it, having enough staff on hand made the work go by quickly.

They strived to sort out everything related to Xia Xindong.

To have it done with absolute precision, you needed a meticulous and highly professional financial team.

Moreover, it wasn’t something that could be accomplished in a day or two, it was a long-term process, requiring at least half a year.

But how could that monster, Song Yunuan, possibly give you half a year’s time?

In half a year, their three families might no longer be found in Xiangjiang.

Therefore, the amount was calculated on the high side, knowing what number they were aiming for in their minds.

After all, this was the most lucrative project, how much money it earned each year, how it was converted, they all kept in their minds.

Then, the value created by Xia Xindong, they would also make a report on it every year.

In secret meetings held privately, they would report to the bosses above as well.

So, as long as the three families agreed on the figure, there would be no problem.

No delays, swift action was essential to avoid complications.

They aimed to provide Song Yunuan and Xia Xindong with a satisfactory answer before Song Yunuan left.

-----------------

The night before Song Yunuan left Xiangjiang was also the deadline set by Chairman Wang.

Chairman Wang came to Song Yunuan and Xia Xindong alone, carrying a stack of documents.

It was said that Zhong Daqiao had an injury on his face and was not fit to meet people.

Shangguan Heng was sick, now in the hospital.

So he had to represent them alone.

Xia Xindong glanced at the documents. Little Nuan had already told him.

The little girl was tough as nails.

And she was particularly protective. As long as someone was under her wing, if they suffered the slightest grievance, she made sure to get justice for them.

Xia Xindong had a warm feeling in his heart and couldn’t help but smile slightly.

Xia Xindong handed the documents to Song Yunuan and said, "If the accounts have already been transferred, that’s still acceptable."

Song Yunuan looked through them and found they were about what she had expected, probably even more.

Because her uncle had refused to eat later on and had not developed any new medicines.

But the profits generated from the two drugs he developed were still there, so each person transferred six million to Xia Xindong.

These two drugs are still in production.

The three families promised to pay dividends to Xia Xindong every year.

This was also Chairman Wang’s clever trick.

Using these benefits to temporarily tie him down, for the sake of the money, Song Yunuan was expected to quiet down for a while.

After all, she still had to go back to university.

Truthfully, all three were envious of Xia Xindong.

If they also had a niece like her, what would they have to worry about in their lifetimes?

It was almost like an assured victory.

Song Yunuan accepted the organized reports and the proof of transfer from Chairman Wang.

Xia Xindong’s account was a special one.

It had been opened for him by Beidu Main Bank when he was developing his medicines.

The transfer was especially fast, going through a high-level channel.

Xia Xindong called the office of Deputy Bank Manager Chu, who had initially handled his account.

At this time, Deputy Bank Manager Chu just happened to be in the office.

He told Xia Xindong to wait a moment while he checked; it took less than ten minutes for him to call the telephone at the Lew family’s hotel.

After all, Dongfang Hong was not yet able to implement a comprehensive networking system.

It was because she was given special permission by Gu Huai’an for Song Yunuan to make phone calls here.

Bank Manager Chu told Xia Xindong that his account had received an income of twenty-one million these past few days.

As someone accustomed to handling large sums of money, Bank Manager Chu spoke the numbers calmly.

As for whether he was calm inwardly, that was another matter.

But in fact, he had already received a call from a bank employee; Xia Xindong’s account was special, personally handled by him, so he was naturally well aware of every transaction.

It’s not like he needed to report to his superiors.

But he indeed knew.

After all, that was his line of work.

Since Xia Xindong went to Xiangjiang, the deposits were always in millions.

What does that signify?

Can Xia Xindong be called the wealthiest in Dragon Kingdom?

Keep in mind that his salary as Deputy Bank Manager is already quite high.

A month including allowances adds up to 380 yuan.

That’s ten times a common worker’s pay.

It really is very high.

But when compared with Xia Xindong, it seems so insignificant.

This money...

Deputy Bank Manager Chu informed Xia Xindong about the income and balance of his account and, very professionally, didn’t bring up the subject again.

Changing his tone, he asked Xia Xindong warmly, "Xindong, I heard that the matter Mr. Gu took care of has been settled, is that right?"

Deputy Bank Manager Chu is Chu Zizhou’s uncle.

The most accomplished son of Old Master Chu.

Both were aware of this relationship, so his casual inquiry was also a way to show closeness, and Xia Xindong replied amiably, "Yes, indeed it has been settled."

It has to be said, it’s all thanks to his Little Nuan.

Just look at how many significant things Little Nuan has done since coming to Xiangjiang?

But there was no need to discuss these with Deputy Bank Manager Chu.

After exchanging a few courteous remarks, they hung up the phone.

Chairman Wang also breathed a sigh of relief.

Neither of them seemed like they were about to seek retribution.

Yes, indeed, so much money had been deposited.

Who wouldn’t be happy to see money?

His hands were trembling as he made the transfer; to be honest, though he was wealthy, he wasn’t indifferent enough to part with such a large sum without it affecting him.

It was a major blow to him.

What could he do?

Consider it spending money to avert disaster.

Even though he was seething with hatred inside, he had to keep smiling on the surface, even offering to treat them to a meal and so on...

Xia Xindong said, "There’s no need for a meal; finding Hea Yunfei’s whereabouts is what’s important."

Chairman Wang promptly nodded in agreement.

Yet, his tightly clenched hands betrayed a sliver of hate that he dared not show.

Xia Xindong asked Song Yunuan to leave.

Looking into Chairman Wang’s eyes, he spoke with an icy voice, "I remember when I was very little, I once begged you to let me go so I could return home, and I promised that if you did, I would do anything you asked for the rest of my life. You would be my greatest benefactor. I even swore to you that if it was within my ability, Xia Xindong would spare no expense to fulfill your request.

My wish back then was so simple: I just wanted to go home, to find my mother and my siblings. You didn’t beat me up like Shangguan Heng did, but you turned away indifferently, not even sparing me a glance. If it weren’t for Little Nuan, I would still be living a life where no one regarded me as human."

Here, Xia Xindong paused for a moment before continuing, "The common saying goes, ’Thirty years in the east and thirty years in the west’; there’s some truth to it.

So why do you and several others hate me and Little Nuan?

What right do you have to hate?

Isn’t this what you deserve?"

Chairman Wang remained silent.

After a long while, he finally said, "I’m sorry!"
