Stuck in a Chinese novel - Chapter 84

Chapter 84: Transfer
Chapter 84

“Well, they’re expensive for sure.” Wei Jun said as he emptied the briefcase and stored the twenty golf ball-sized explosives. Since they were military stolen, their prices were also very high but they made it up with their efficiency. There were many occasions when Wei Jun wanted things to seem natural but he couldn’t.

Still, these weren’t perfect. Since they had a time limit, he couldn’t use them for planted explosions like C-4 which he made sure to buy because he needed it for the plan up next.

[Why not read the final volume and raise your level up a bit?]

‘That’s for later. For now, I need to get rid of the headaches.’ Wei Jun replied. Granted, Run Long was his ultimate objective, but to make sure that no one else would stand in his way, Wei Jun wanted to make sure no one was left to stand in his way.

He had chosen Yao Tian as the first target because he wanted the hidden funds of the Tian family, the ones they had moved to one secure location. Wei Jun just needed a distraction to move the Tian family’s attention from the reserves and what better distraction than a dead son?

[I’m confused about something]

‘What?’ Wei Jun asked.

[Why don’t you use the money you currently have for the shop items]

[It could save you a lot of trouble]

‘And will you provide me with an expense statement?’

[What?]

The system didn’t understand Wei Jun’s words so he asked.

‘How will I explain where the money went if I was ever investigated?’ Wei Jun retorted. Sure, he could somehow make a billion yuan through some methods. Sure it would take time but Wei Jun was sure enough he would soon be rolling in money to start international-level businesses.

However, the problem was that the money would disappear through the shop. One or two hundred million was fine because the papers where he spent them could be forged but bigger transactions would raise questions. He wasn’t just anybody but a soon-to-be world-renowned figure if he didn’t keep track of his money, it could be sued against him by his enemies during investigations.

‘That’s why it is better to use untraceable, black, or someone else’s money for the shop, none of which I currently possess.’ Wei Jun replied.

[I see]

The system could only say that in reply because it didn’t quite understand the technical terms a businessman like Wei Jun did. Wei Jun continued driving his car, arrived at the downtown area, and made his way to the warehouse where he kept his stuff.

“I don’t trust any of you but make sure no accidents happen because all of you are already under my radar.” Zhao Hui said without concern to the policemen who would be acting as guards to escort Yao Tian to the prison where he would await trial.

He didn’t trust these policemen as he knew they were from Kai Bo’s faction. Although Kai Bo was now gone and rotting in prison, some of the policemen and detectives had managed to avoid getting rolled into his sins.

“Fu*k.” Zhao Hui cursed and added to no one in particular but made sure everyone heard him, “Why did they have to send these rats for it?”

Zhao Hui couldn’t understand why these policemen were appointed for such a mission. And it wasn’t a coincidence that they were all from the corrupt division of the Yuan Yin police department. ‘Almost as if someone wanted them here.’ Zhao Hui thought inwardly and as soon as he did, one individual came to his mind.

The young man who had made him admit defeat several times, not one or two but many more times, the infamous black sheep of the Ruan family, known by many titles, none of which were anything to be proud of, Wei Jun Ruan.

But he dismissed this thought since he made sure to check the order, it came from reliable sources and these eight were selected at random. There was some suspicion in his mind since he had seen Wei Jun Ruan manipulate the law before, but still, his rational side chose to dismiss this issue.

‘Besides, I will be just behind them.’ He thought inwardly as he left the compound just as the envoy left the police station and made his way to his own car. It was past midnight so the roads were empty. He followed the envoy from a good distance and kept following them.

They soon arrived in the area out of the city. Zhao Hui followed them quite well until he saw a young woman on the side of the road waving at him and yelling for help.

“Help! Please!” She shouted. Zhao Hui glanced at the envoy and it was going steady so he decided to stop and see what the problem was. The young woman seemed to be about in her early twenties, her brunette hair gave her a sense of unique beauty. Her hazelnut eyes also enhanced her beauty. In a tight set of clothes, this young woman attracted Zhao Hui’s attention and he couldn’t help but admit she was a beauty of her own ranks.

Zhao Hui stopped the car on the roadside and came out of the car. “What seems to be the problem?” Zhao Hui asked even though the cause of the woman’s distress was obvious as day with one tire of her car flat.

“Thank you so much for stopping, no one else stopped and it was making me very scared and at this time of the night, there are many things that haunt you and anything can happen. I was very scared that you would also pass away but thank goodness you didn’t. I waved and waved at the cars before you but they didn’t stop and kept on driving. Is that how the police are these days? They leered at me and they didn’t even hide it but they didn’t stop to help me. I will be complaining about them for sure. I can’t remember all of their faces but I know the one who called me fu*kable babe and I will make sure to rip his mouth off once I see him again. But then I might go to jail and that might ruin my life. My husband would divorce me, and my child would be forced to grow up without a mother. My husband might remarry, of course, that bastard will as he is already a lusty bastard, and what if the woman he brought mistreated my child? He will grow up twisted and unloved which might cause him to have issues and haunt him for the rest of his life as well, destroying it. He will blame me for it while I sit in jail and be probably molested by my fellow inmates because that’s how they show it on TV. So to avoid all of that from happening, I will just leave it at a complaint against those policemen. So, do you know how to change a tire?” The woman was a chatterbox who once began and managed to take the topic to the point where her life would be in shambles.

Zhao Hui stood with an open mouth and all he could say was, “Yes.”

“Oh thank you so much. I was worried you wouldn’t either or you would refuse to help me since no one helps out others these days. All everyone cares about is themselves, the world has become selfish and a terrible place to love. I’m worried about raising my child in such a world…..” The woman once again began to speak and her words only increased this time.

Zhao Hui silently changed the tire and she was still talking, taking the topic of conversation from the selfishness of the world to the habitations of other planets.

“IT’S DONE!” Zhao Hui had to yell to make her stop talking. “Oh!” The woman exclaimed as she checked her tire and said, “Oh my god, thank you so much. You are so not like other men. I will remember to repay you like this. I am a woman of my word and that’s how I will make sure to raise my baby…..” She once again began to speak which made Zhao Hui suffer from a severe headache.

However, that headache was forgotten when he heard an explosion in the distance. The sound of the explosion was very small which meant that the envoy was quite a bit far away.

“Oh my god, was that an explosion? Did lightning fall? An asteroid fell? Oh! My! God! Is it divine judgment?!” The woman yapped but Zhao Hui ignored her and hurriedly got into his car and drove away. The woman, on the other hand, opened the door to her car and entered.

She wiped the makeup off her face and what emerged from underneath was none other than Li Wei who said, “Boss, you were right. He was following the envoy. And he’s on the way.”

“Copy.” Wei Jun on the other hand replied as he made his way to the explosion site in his biker outfit where he could see several dead bodies. However, he didn’t spot his target.

He could see the marks of someone crawling away and following those marks, he saw a young man of about twenty, hanging on to his life but he was also slowly bleeding. His legs were severely damaged and there were several burn marks but other than that, he would survive if treated soon.

“So you managed to live.” Wei Jun said as he knelt on one knee in front of the injured and bloodied Yao Tian.

Since Li Wei’s distraction took a good amount of word count, I made sure to substitute that by making the chapter a little longer.
