Chapter 84: Useless
It was naturally useless to check the phone number. Su Yan and Yun Chang had checked it long ago. The number was fake and had not been verified with a real name. Naturally, they could not find anything.
Obviously, Shang Hua had thought of this as well. However, he remembered that this number had called him before. Perhaps it was connected now? Thus, Shang Hua made a call back. It was clear that there was a cold female voice on the other end, telling him that the number was empty. He was so quick to cancel his number.
Yun Chang leaned back and looked at Shang Hua coldly. There was even a smile on his lips. “I forgot to tell you. If you can’t provide me with any valuable clues or information, I don’t think there’s a need for me to keep you. I’ll send you to where you should go.”
Shang Hua was indeed stunned. When he looked at Yun Chang, his eyes were filled with disbelief. Clearly, he did not understand why he had suddenly changed when he had been so approachable just now.
Shang Hua looked at Yun Chang’s expression again. He felt that the current Yun Chang might not have any good ideas and was just holding it in.
“But I really don’t have anything else to say. Really, I’ve said all that I can. If you don’t believe me, there’s nothing I can do.” Shang Hua thought for a while and continued begging for mercy. “I’m really not sure. The people on the other side have always been in contact with me. If I knew who they were, I would have beaten them up just like you guys.”
Su Yan stretched lazily. “Just a beating? You almost got arrested. Is your life so casual?”
Shang Hua did not hesitate and said straightforwardly, “I never thought that I would be able to find him. If I find him now and give him a beating, my life would be complete.” After saying that, he even chuckled, as if he had already caught that person. However, not long after, Shang Hua suddenly said, “I seem to know something.”
“I think the person who called me had the surname Lu.” Shang Hua tilted his head and recalled. “The first time he called me, I heard someone call him Little President Lu.”
“Little President Lu?” Su Yan asked again, “How did you guys transact the money?”
Unexpectedly, at the mention of this, Shang Hua’s expression twisted. “I haven’t received any money at all, not even a deposit.”
This result was too tragic. Su Yan expressed her sympathy for Shang Hua.
Indeed, Shang Hua did not know much. Even how he sent the photo of the bid to that person was not worth any reference.
That person asked Shang Hua to place the phone in the innermost water tank on the first floor of a certain mall.
That shopping mall was the most popular shopping mall in Jing City. There were countless people who passed by the innermost toilet in the morning and evening. Even if they were to check the surveillance cameras, they would not be able to find anything. Furthermore, they might have even entered the toilet from the outside.
“Third Uncle, Shang Hua’s words are more or less the same as our investigations.” Su Yan sighed softly. Who would have thought that Shang Hua, the person involved, would really not know anything?
She did not know if the other party was too cautious or if Shang Hua was too careless.
“What Shang Hua said should be the truth, but doesn’t he know too little?” Clearly, Yun Chang also felt that Shang Hua’s brain might not be very useful.
“Instead of being passive, why don’t we take the initiative to attack?”
Yun Chang didn’t object to this. Instead, he pondered for a moment before asking, “How should we attack?”
Su Yan chuckled. “Didn’t Shang Hua say that it was renovating or near the construction site? Then let’s find out more. We’ll focus on finding out the surname Lu. If that so-called President Lu didn’t set off a smoke screen on purpose, we’ll be able to find out his identity.”
Lu Ye could be said to be riding on the crest of success recently.
There was no other reason. After the first round of bidding for the land in the east of the city ended, the Yun family did not even enter the second round of bidding.
Initially, Lu Ye was still wondering if the Yun family was up to no good. However, after thinking about it, he felt that it was not a bad thing. Their bid had been leaked, and it would be futile no matter how much they prepared, they might as well not bother about it. They might even be able to save some manpower and resources. Why not?
With this thought in mind, Lu Ye quickly finished enlightening himself. His mood was even higher than before. Even his father’s nagging could make him feel better.
“Alright, Dad, I got it.” Lu Ye impatiently dug his ears and felt that Lu Yi’s constant nagging was really unnecessary.
“You brat, what did I just say to you?”
Lu Ye put his hands in his pockets carelessly. “Aren’t we just going to treat the swindler who helped us well? I’ve already made arrangements. Dad, don’t worry.”
Although Lu Yi felt that his son wasn’t that reliable, he wasn’t so insensible. Hence, he let Lu Ye off easily.
However, he did not expect Lu Ye’s definition of ‘well’ was him not forcing the person to die.
