Chapter 593: The secret bank

The young girl explained all that was wrong with her life in a few short sentences and Chi Lian had answers to most of her questions. She wore the make up to appear older than she was because she wanted to draw in business but that probably didn’t help her. Her grandmother must have drilled it into her head that the so called lifeline would be the thing to change her life. And, when the girl said she was a bad cook, she wanted to guffaw. She was not just a bad cook, she probably didn’t attempt to cook at all. The restaurant might have been clean but the counter was dusty and there were cobwebs in the corners of the kitchen. She probably sold drinks and instant noodles more than anything.

"Are you satisfied?" She asked Chi Lian.

"Mmm." Chi Lian nodded.

The girl went into the back of the kitchen and returned with a small bag pack, a small brown old teddy bear with a missing ear and an urn. It seemed like that was all she valued, nothing else here was important to her. Together, they all set off walking at a pace faster than they used when they arrived and entered the car which set off.

The young woman did not look back even once, somehow Chi Lian thought that maybe she would be sentimental, filled with hopeless sadness and a feeling of loneliness but none of that seemed to be the case. To further cement Chi Lian’s disbelief, the young woman rolled the car window down and spat outside with disgust on her face just before the ancient street disappeared from their sight, her spit was carried away by the air, probably to land on the unsuspecting face or clothes of a passerby if it did not land on the ground.

"Goodbye, you shitty place, I hope you burn down someday." She shouted and raised her middle finger before rolling the window up and laughing.

More than a few people walking on the curb heard her and they looked at the expensive black car which was speeding by with wonder. Which rude unmannered rich woman was that, they wondered.

"I knew you hated it there, I saw it the moment I looked at you." Sally laughed, a deep laugh that came from her belly. Yes, she Sally was never wrong when it came to judging people.

"My grandmother was nice to most of them, she babysat their children, sent them soup when they were ill, they drunk at our place for free. She cooked on some of their family occasions and slept at the hospital when some of them were sick, she spent her whole life being a good neighbor. When she fell sick however, they simply smiled and wished her well, no one sent soup or slept by her hospital bed, not even offering to help us run the restaurant for a one or two hours a day. When we run out of money I went from neighbor to another, fell to my knees, cried and begged them all to help but no one did. The convenience store mister gave me one hundred yuan, he was the only one that tried to help. I hate that place and everyone in it, I will never live the way my grandmother did." The girl looked at the urn in her hands and shook it gently while saying, "You hear me grandmother, I will never live like you did. I will go to school, I will wear nice clothes and never be as nauseatingly nice as you were. I Bai Bao will never kneel down for money before ungrateful people in my life."

Finally, Chi Lian had her name, it seemed for the sake of anonymity, they had not asked her for her name.

She closed her eyes as T4 presented all of Bai Bao’s information to her. The girl had either lied or been lied to because according to the records T4 found, she had a father. But Chi Lian would not be sharing this information with her, if it was something she ought to know, her grandmother would have shared it with her.

Bai Bao led them to a place, a flower cultivation farm and at the entrance, she handed in a card, a white card with small writing in gold and the gates of the farm were opened. The farm was two hours out of the capital, leading to a town named Houziang, it was north of the city. Flowers were the biggest export from this town, it had many large flower gardens mostly owned by flower companies or perfume companies. There was a large thriving flower market here but they were not anywhere near it at the moment.

"We have seen that kind of card before." T4 said and Chi Lian concurred. Once, when old tiger rummaged through the Yan patriarch’s drawers, he found that card hidden inside an old family album. At the time, it seemed ignorable but now, not so much. It seemed, they had missed a very big clue which was right in front of their eyes.

Right now, Chi Lian tried hard to control her excitement and urge to hug and kiss Sally on the cheek. If she had not led Chi Lian to Bai Bao, it would have taken her a while longer to find this place.

"What is this place?" Sally asked Bai Bao.

"A bank." Bai Bao replied.

In Chi Lian’s mind, T4 concurred, having scanned the farm and discovered an underground section deep down in the main building where money was being counted. There was a great number of safety deposit boxes in that building. "It’s a bank, she is right."

"What kind of bank is this?" Chi Lian asked Bai Bao.

"One where no questions are asked." The young woman answered. "If your next question is who owns it then I am sorry to disappoint you, I don’t know. Maybe the answer is in the books you seek."

"The security in this place is top notch, sinner club kind of top notch,it’s the same exact security system down to the smallest details. Now we know where the criminals hide their money, we have filled in that gap. I am of the mind that we rob then clean." T4 added to the information he had previously given her and on top of that, he made a suggestion which was in line with her thoughts.

For months now, they had been trying to find out where the green gang, sinner, the Yan’s and others kept their money. They did not have secret slush funds, their accounts were clean and on paper they seemed to be upright businesses.

The only way for the police to catch such criminals was by paralyzing them financially.

"Does this bank have a name?" Chi Lian asked the girl.

"QB bank, it’s not a place people know about, only those who need it. Grandmother said it was the safest place to keep our lifeline. Stay here, I will bring it out." Bai Bao got out of the car alone but Chi Lian was not having any of it and neither was Sally.

"Young lady, how do we know that you will not hold anything back? You said it yourself that one can never be too trusting these days." Chi Lian told her while Sally held her arm forcefully.

"One hundred million is on the line," Sally said, "We go together."
