Chapter 528 - 528 Jiang Xu: I Really Deserve to Die
“Oh, you thought what I gave you to drink last night was a sleeping potion? You’re really underestimating me,” Jiang Xiaoyan huffed:
“That was a drug developed by a foreign research institution over more than twenty years, one that can slow down aging, strengthen the body, and even enhance kidney function.
Just the cost of production is up to two hundred million, and it took me half a year on a waiting list to get one dose.
I didn’t even dare to use it myself and gave it straight to you.” “There won’t be any side effects, right?” Jiang Xu asked worriedly. After carefully feeling it out, his body did indeed seem to become more vigorous.
Yep, especially when he looked down…
“Relax, a bunch of wealthy people around the world have used it, not a single problem,” Jiang Xiaoyan said:
“The only side effect of this solution is that after taking it, you’ll immediately pass out. This is to let the body absorb it quickly. You can think of it as an enhanced version of Jing Bing.”
Jiang Xu immediately felt an overwhelming sense of guilt.
He really deserved to die.
Such a narrow-minded suspicion.
Waking up in the middle of the night, he deserved to slap himself twice.
“I’ll transfer the money to you,” Jiang Xu said in a meek voice.
“Hmph, do you think I did something to you last night?” Jiang Xiaoyan said with slight dissatisfaction: “We’ve known each other for so long, and you still don’t trust me.”
Jiang Xu felt even more guilty, ”1 was wrong, please forgive me.”
“Let’s not talk about it, I have things to do.”
Listening to the beeping sound from the phone, Jiang Xu smiled helplessly.
He transferred three hundred million to Jiang Xiaoyan at once.
And he asked her to buy a few more doses.
So that his family could use them too when the time came.
It wasn’t anything unusual.
Which top-level magnate didn’t inject various expensive genetic solutions every year to delay aging?
Jiang Xu’s stomach growled.
He ate twice as much breakfast as usual.
Then he went to school alone.
Without his girlfriend by his side, he indeed felt a little unaccustomed.
The first day without Nuonuo, he missed her.
“Good morning, Mr. Jiang.”
Just a few steps into the school, several ordinary-looking men approached him.
One of them took out his credentials, “We’re from the security department, and we’d like you to come with us to assist in an investigation.” “Hmm?” Jiang Xu turned to look behind him.
His bodyguards had been stopped by others too.
Jiang Xu looked at the man’s credential, noted the badge number, and said, “Please wait a moment, I need to make a call to confirm your identity.” The man nodded.
Jiang Xu contacted SZ’s secretary and reported the man’s badge number.
The secretary said, “Yes, that’s correct, they are our people.
Mr. Jiang, please cooperate with the investigation; I believe you wouldn’t do such a thing.”
Jiang Xu was filled with confusion.
But he didn’t ask further.
After saying thanks and hanging up the phone,
Jiang Xu was swiftly taken to the inside of the security department.
A middle-aged man with a high position was in charge.
“Good morning, Mr. Jiang, my surname is Liu, and my given name is Yong.” “Hello.”
Liu Yong, standing straight with a serious expression, asked, “This morning, we monitored some unusual activity in your company’s bank account.
From 7:10 AM to 8:20 AM, there were a total of seventy-two incoming transactions.
The smallest amount was one hundred thousand, the largest was five hundred thousand, totaling one point eight billion.
Upon our investigation, we found that the origins of these funds are illegal, they are all illicit gains.
On the surface, Mr. Jiang, you are suspected of money laundering, in accordance with the law, all funds of the Jiang Group have been temporarily frozen.”
Jiang Xu’s eyes narrowed.
Who was trying to set him up again?
But this move was indeed very vicious.
Anything involving money laundering is never a minor issue.
The other party used more than a hundred million to cause the entire group’s funds to be frozen.
And they chose this particular moment…
Because in a few days, it would be payday.
Was it Lifuzhen?
Currently, this woman seems the most suspicious.
But other potential enemies or competitors can’t be ruled out either.
Various thoughts whirled through his mind.
Jiang Xu calmly answered each question posed to him.
“This matter is obviously a setup by someone.” Jiang Xu said indifferently, “To put it arrogantly, I don’t need to take such a big risk for just over a hundred million.
It’s equivalent to the net profit of one of the group’s games in a single day.” Liu Yong was making the record and said, “Hmm, we know, Mr. Jiang wouldn’t do such a thing.
Now we’re just following the normal procedure.”
After completing the record, it was already noon.
Officials would surely investigate and clarify who was behind this matter soon. However, the bank account would need three working days to be unfrozen. The day after tomorrow would be payday.
The salaries at Jiang Xu’s company had never been delayed.
They were even issued in advance during holidays.
For a large company, timely salary payment is the most basic.
Otherwise, it can lead to problems.
And…
Jiang Xu went online to take a look.
As expected.
Apart from the daily headlines, there were a lot of reports on other media websites about the Nuomi Group’s bank accounts being frozen on suspicion of money laundering.
Many people were even starting rumors that the Nuomi Group would soon go bankrupt.
The boss was about to run away with his mistress…
He made a phone call to Ally, “Have you calculated how much we need to pay in salaries this month?”
“Yes, boss, the total is 235,868,568.8.”
Pay the salaries as usual, I’ll cover it with my own money for now.” Jiang Xu thought for a moment and said, “Make sure the staff are properly reassured, and this month give everyone an extra 5%.”
Spending over ten million more to prevent major chaos in the company
seemed like a good deal to Jiang Xu.
Ally greatly admired Jiang Xu’s magnanimity.
Most business owners wouldn’t just randomly give their employees a pay raise. Some would even chase after a few hundred dollars more paid by mistake.
After hanging up the phone, a cold light flashed in Jiang Xu’s eyes.
No matter who was behind this, once they were found out, he would show no mercy.
He looked up at the sky and let out a breath.
Jiang Xu shook his head.
First, he would go to have lunch.
After lunch, he headed to the company.
This was the time when the company needed him the most.
There weren’t any major issues within the company.
The staff had been through similar situations many times.
Every time, Jiang Xu managed to turn the situation around, eventually leading the company to perform even better.
Moreover, the public opinion online hadn’t spiraled out of control.
Now, Jiang Xu’s online fan base was probably only slightly smaller than Zhou Qingyue’s.
Many people didn’t believe he would commit such a deed for so little money.
It’s like someone telling you that Jack Ma is fighting with elderly women over plastic bottles.
At half-past two in the afternoon.
The door to the office was suddenly pushed open.
Jiang Xu hadn’t reacted yet when he was embraced by someone.
