The heavens set sail from the courtyard

Wang Gang walked out of the teahouse and drove away directly. He believed that his sister could control Na Wei.

Na Wei sometimes makes mistakes, but he listens to Shen Lin very much and is even a little afraid of his wife. Wang Gang is not worried about him at all.

Wang Gang then made an appointment with another person, but the location was more secluded, so he drove directly to a wasteland on the outskirts of Beijing.

A Toyota Camry was already parked in the open space waiting for him.

Wang Gang stopped the car, and Lu Jie got out of the Toyota and took out a large suitcase from the trunk. It looked very heavy and he had difficulty carrying it.

Lu Jie dragged his suitcase to Wang Gang's car.

"I've brought the 20 million you asked for. Where's the evidence I wanted?"

Wang Gang opened the car door and looked at the suitcase, but did not take it. Instead, he stared at Lu Jie's shirt pocket.

Lu Jie was a little nervous, his forehead was covered with sweat, and he subconsciously turned sideways to cover his pockets.

Wang Gang raised his lips and said to Lu Jie: "Mr. Lu, you are not honest!"

Lu Jie stuttered nervously: "You, what are you saying? I don't understand."

Wang Gang didn't waste any time. He grabbed Lu Jie's arm, twisted it back to control him, and then reached into his hand to take out the recorder hidden in his pocket.

After getting the recorder, Wang Gang just let go of his hand, then ran to the Toyota car and directly removed the dashcam on the front windshield.

After doing all this, Lu Jie's face turned pale!

He didn't expect Wang Gang to be so careful.

For this transaction, Lu Jie was cautious and brought a recorder with him. He also wanted to use the dash cam to record the transaction process, in order to use it as leverage to hold Wang Gang accountable.

"Mr. Lu, you are not honest." Wang Gang threw the dashcam and voice recorder to the ground and crushed them.

Lu Jie was completely panicked.

Wang Gang continued: "Don't try to play tricks on me. You were still breastfeeding while I was playing these tricks."

Lu Jie's face turned pale and he said, "I'm sorry, I was wrong. I was just afraid that you would go back on your word. I gave you the money but you didn't give me the evidence."

Wang Gang folded his hands and said with a smile: "As punishment for your tricks, the price has doubled to 40 million. If you don't have 40 million, you will go to jail!"

Lu Jie's eyes widened in shock and he shouted, "Where did I get 40 million?"

Wang Gang snorted coldly: "I've calculated that you have used tricks over the years to embezzle more than 50 million, most of which were transferred to Singapore and Japan. Although 40 million is a lot, it's not that you can't get it back."

Lu Jie gritted his teeth and said, "But if I give you the money, I will be left with nothing."

Wang Gang said with a smile: "Your real estate and assets in Beijing are worth at least tens of millions. Mr. Lu will still be a rich man once his assets are unblocked. Don't cry poor to a small civil servant like me."

Lu Jie's face was gloomy and he couldn't make up his mind.

Wang Gang was not in a hurry. He took out a document from the car, threw it to Lu Jie, and then put the suitcase in his car.

Lu Jie couldn't wait to open the file and found that it was solid evidence of his illegal operations in the acquisition case, but it was only half and incomplete.

"Where's the other half?" Lu Jie asked anxiously.

"When you bring the other 20 million, I'll leave you half. That's fair, isn't it?" Wang Gang said with a smile.

Lu Jie said with a bitter face: "The money is abroad, it's not that easy to transfer it back to China."

Wang Gang said: "I have already considered it for Mr. Lu. I will give you a company account later. You can transfer the money to that company in the name of investment."

Lu Jie was stunned and asked, "Is the company yours?" Wang Gang shook his head and said, "I am a civil servant and cannot open a company. That company belongs to my brother-in-law and the boss has some relationship with me."

Lu Jie suddenly realized and trusted Wang Gang a little more, but taking out another 20 million would really be a huge loss, and Lu Jie was reluctant to do so.

"I really can't come up with 20 million. How about 10 million?" Lu Jie bargained.

"It seems that Mr. Lu wants to go to jail himself, but he also wants to protect his wife and children abroad. I admire you." Wang Gang bowed hypocritically.

Of course Lu Jie heard the sarcasm in Wang Gang's words.

But he was unwilling to go to jail while his wife and children lived a luxurious life abroad with the money.

Wang Gang was attracted by Lu Jie's selfish nature. If he could sacrifice himself for his wife and children, Wang Gang would look up to him.

Lu Jie left his wife and children alone in Singapore and returned to China to live a free and easy life. From this point, Wang Gang knew that he would not sacrifice himself.

"Boss Lu, considering the amount of money you were involved in the acquisition, you have to stay in prison for ten years. You are in your forties now, so if you stay for more than ten years, you will be able to retire when you get out." Wang Gang said slowly:
"It's not impossible to go abroad to live with my wife and children when the time comes. It will be a good place for my retirement."

Lu Jie was torn between his conscience and his desires.

"How can I trust you? What if you raise the price again?" Lu Jie asked through gritting his teeth.

Wang Gang leaned against the car and said with a smile: "Do you know why I asked you to transfer the money to my brother-in-law's company? The transfer has a receipt."

Hearing this, Lu Jie finally put aside his last bit of worry and said to Wang Gang: "Okay, I'll trust you again."

"Mr. Lu is very straightforward. Contact me when you have the money ready." Wang Gang opened the car door, got in, started the car and left.

Lu Jie stood there and waited for a while, then returned to Beijing to find a way to raise money. However, after much calculation, he found that he could only transfer 15 million yuan from abroad.

The 15 million was saved by Lu Jie from his wife's pocket. They sold all their houses in Singapore.

Lu Jie now deeply understands what it means that a penny can make a hero fail, let alone five million.

After much thought, Lu Jie could only think of borrowing money, but now his assets were frozen and he was involved in lawsuits, so no one dared to lend him money.

Finally, Lu Jie set his sights on Xie Meilan.

"Meilan, can you be my guarantor and lend me five million?"

"Five million is so much. What are you going to do with it?" Xie Meilan asked in surprise.

After much consideration, Lu Jie decided to tell Xie Meilan about Wang Gang's blackmail against him.

"If Shen Lei hands over the evidence, I'm afraid I'll have to stay in prison for more than ten years." Lu Jie grabbed Xie Meilan's hand and pleaded, "Meilan, why don't you go and beg Shen Lei? I really can't afford the five million."

Xie Meilan was shocked and said, "Shen Lei has actually blackmailed you for 20 million. How is that possible? He is not that kind of person!"

"The money has been taken away by him, how can it not be true?" Lu Jie sighed, "We all underestimated you as my ex-husband."

Xie Meilan's eyes rolled. For a moment, she couldn't accept that her honest ex-husband could actually extort 20 million yuan.

"I'll go find him." Xie Meilan stood up and said.

"Meilan, you must not anger Shen Lei." Lu Jie said in panic.

"What should we do? Let him extort tens of millions from you for nothing?" Xie Meilan asked worriedly.

"As long as we get through this difficult time, I will have plenty of ways to deal with him in the future." Lu Jie assured: "Besides, my assets in Beijing have only been seized. Once they are unsealed, I will still have money. It's just that I really can't come up with five million right now."

"Okay! I'll go to him and ask for mercy." Xie Meilan sighed: "I didn't expect that after the divorce, I would still have to bow to him one day." (End of this chapter)
