Chapter 677: Chapter 677: Don’t Block the Way!_1
At this time, in a café about two kilometers away from Borui Villa.
Yu Wei, the assistant to the president of Baihua Bank, was sitting in a private room, sipping coffee while listening to a report from her subordinate.
"Manager Yu, after the Old Lady Luo and her family left the Luo Family Villa, they first visited a nearby gold processing shop. I’ve inquired about it, and Old Lady Luo sold the only gold necklace she had left, supposedly a keepsake from her mother. But it only sold for 3,800 yuan."
"Then they went to KFC for lunch. I’m not sure what they discussed there, but after that, they went to the warehouse behind Zhongbai Supermarket. I checked it out; it’s Warehouse No. 2 that was previously acquired by Luo’s Group. It hasn’t been in use for a while, and the bank wasn’t aware, so it hasn’t been seized yet."
"A warehouse?"
Yu Wei raised her eyebrows, put down her coffee cup, and said in a deep voice, "What were they doing at the warehouse?"
"It seems that Old Master Luo once spent a fortune on a set of mahogany furniture stored in Warehouse No. 2. Old Lady Luo had the driver haul this set of furniture out and even made a trip to Yunfang Furniture, intending to sell it."
Her subordinate immediately responded, "However, since they didn’t bring any invoice or proof of purchase, they couldn’t sell the furniture on the spot."
Yu Wei asked, "What happened next?"
"After that, they headed to Borui No. 1, taking the furniture in the truck with them. It seems like a buyer was interested."
While her subordinate was speaking, suddenly his phone rang. He glanced at the message on his screen and looked up to report, "Manager Yu, I’ve just received news that Old Lady Luo and her family have just come out from Borui Villa area, and they’re carrying suitcases with them, looking quite pleased."
"They went in with the goods, but came out with a suitcase instead?"
Yu Wei frowned slightly and had an epiphany, "I get it! The suitcase must be filled with cash!"
Confused, her subordinate said, "Cash? Who still uses cash these days? Everyone’s using mobile payments..."
"That’s ordinary people!"
Yu Wei sneered, "The Luo family is burdened with a debt of several billion yuan. Their bank cards, VChat, AlPay, and the likes have all blacklisted them—they’re now considered defaulters."
"If there’s any money in their mobile or bank account, it will be automatically frozen."
"They must know this, and that’s why they wanted the buyer to pay in cash!"
"How big was the suitcase?"
The subordinate hurriedly sent a message and, after a mere ten seconds, he received a reply and began to speak, "It’s the standard size of a carry-on suitcase."
"A carry-on suitcase is about 20 inches, with a length of 55 centimeters, and a width of about 35 centimeters."
Yu Wei picked up a pen and did some calculations, then said, "If it’s filled completely, it should hold about 800 to 900 thousand yuan in cash!"
"Well played, Luo family, still thinking of enjoying the money!"
"Chen Guihua cost me 50 million yuan and almost cost me my job—I have to deal with you all today!"
Her lips curled slightly upward as she spoke to her subordinate, "Let’s go find them!"
...
When the Luo family came out from the Borui No. 1 Villa, they were initially a bit downhearted.
That villa was worth more than two hundred million yuan. If they could have actually moved in, it would have been fantastically enjoyable.
It’s all Yang Meifeng’s fault, that shrew with a heart of stone, and Luo Shanchuan too, such a wuss completely controlled by his wife, with no mind of his own.
Nonetheless, as they pulled their suitcases along, their sense of dejection slowly dissipated.
Although the money wasn’t plentiful, they still had 800 thousand yuan. If they were thrifty, they could certainly live comfortably for a few years.
"Xuan Ran, keep a close eye on the suitcase!"
Old Lady Luo saw Luo Xuanran carrying the luggage, her steps seemingly floating, and she reminded him, "This money is our Luo Family’s last hope! You mustn’t lose it!"
"Mmm."
Luo Xuanran nodded and asked, "Grandma, where to now?"
"We’ve been listed as enforcement targets; decent hotels and guesthouses probably won’t take us in."
"But those crummy inns are dirty and stink; how can we stay there?"
Luo Zitong’s delicate brows knitted slightly as she said, "How about we find a real estate agent and ask about renting a place nearby, maybe a four-bedroom, two-hall apartment?"
She was thinking wishfully—a room per person for the four of them; she wouldn’t even have to attend to Grandma.
But Old Lady Luo vetoed the idea; she looked up at the sky, sighed, and said, "No, the bank staff and Tao Pinggui are still watching us; we can’t stay in Jiangling City anymore."
"I’m considering that we should just change cities, charter a car, and start fresh somewhere else."
"As for housing, there’s no need for something expensive, just renting a two-bedroom, one-hall apartment is enough. We may have some money now, but we need to economize."
"Zi Tong, you’ll share a room with me, and Xuan Ran, you’ll share with your dad; that way we can take care of each other."
"I’m old, and your dad, he’s not mobile, so we’ll have to rely on you two."
"Xuan Ran, Zi Tong, you two now need to carry this family. Once we’re there, you can post your resumes online or go to the job market, find something steady."
"We can’t just sit around depleting our resources; earning some money to supplement the household is necessary."
When Old Lady Luo spoke these words, her expression was bleak and her tone desolate, a far cry from the spirited demeanor she had as a matriarch. At this moment, she didn’t have much hope for their future life.
All she wished for now was to have enough money to live her twilight years in peace.
"Grandma, I don’t want to get a job!"
Luo Xuanran protested, "Having to wake up so early every day, and it doesn’t even pay much."
"We have money in hand now, how about we open a supermarket together, do some business or something, then we can wake up whenever we want..."
Seeing her grandson still acting irresponsibly, Old Lady Luo frowned, raised her walking stick angrily, and scolded, "Nonsense! Don’t you know your own abilities?"
"If we rely on you to do business, our family won’t have any food to eat!"
"I’m warning you, none of you can touch this money; it can only stay in my hands!"
"Our daily food expenses must also be kept below 100 yuan. Like the fried chicken we just ate, we’re not going there again—it’s expensive, not tasty, and bad for your health..."
Clap, clap, clap!
As she was speaking, suddenly seven or eight burly men appeared from around the corner. They spread out, and Yu Wei, in her black suit, emerged clapping and squinting her eyes.
"Old Lady Luo, you sure know how to stay healthy; indeed, fried chicken is bad for the body, you should eat more vegetables."
Her voice suddenly paused, the smile on her face instantly vanished, replaced by an icy countenance, "But didn’t the Luo Family go bankrupt? What are you doing here in Borui Villa?"
Seeing Baihua Bank’s assistant manager Yu Wei suddenly appear, Old Lady Luo’s heart skipped a beat, her eyes involuntarily glancing at the luggage.
Luo Xuanran was even more afraid of her taking it, so he quickly moved the luggage behind him.
Upon seeing Yu Wei, Luo Yuantu thought of his wife, Chen Guihua, and his face turned dark as he said with displeasure, "Assistant Manager Yu, where we go shouldn’t be any of your concern!"
"Please step aside; do not block the way!"
