Taking advantage of the beauty being poor, fooling her into being my girlfriend - Chapter 560

Chapter 560: Chapter 560 No need to worry, I’ll take action

Jiang Xu looked out the car window, his complexion changing unpredictably. Since he started his business, the biggest crisis had emerged!

If things went wrong, he could potentially face bankruptcy and lose everything. Even the families of Fu Xinghan, An Feng, Jiang Xiaoyan, and the Bai Xiaoya clan would be implicated.

Whether or not they admitted it, the tycoons of Mei Country’s business world had the capability to launch a dimensionality reduction attack on other countries.

Not good!” Jiang Xu thought of something, and his face changed.

He immediately took out his phone and called Liu Dahai, speaking rapidly, “Book the flights now, everyone must come back without any delay!” Liu Dahai was confused, “Boss, what happened?”

Jiang Xu said, “Don’t ask too many questions, just come back right away. Abandon all arrangements there, quick, quick, quick!”

Liu Dahai had never seen Jiang Xu so anxious before, and his heart thumped with nervousness. He responded solemnly, “Okay, boss, I’m on my way.” After hanging up the phone, Jiang Xu made several international calls.

A cool palm landed on the back of Jiang Xu’s hand.

An Nuonuo spoke softly, “No matter what, I will face it with you.”

“Hmm,” Jiang Xu nodded.

On the way home, Jiang Xu made dozens of calls.

They included An Feng, Fu Xinghan, Jiang Yuanfeng, Lu Chao, and even Bai Xue among others.

Especially for these critical partners, minus Bai Xue, he instructed them to transfer their overseas investments and any funds that could be moved to a safe location, to avoid major losses in the upcoming situation.

Jiang Xu himself also had investments in many places abroad.

Now he was calling each one in turn.

So was An Nuonuo.

Back home, the two sat in the back seat of the car, still making calls one after another.

After more than two hours, with hardly a pause for a breath, their voices became a bit hoarse.

“Don’t worry, the ship will straighten itself out when it gets to the bridge,” An Nuonuo said as she leaned over and gently massaged his temples:

“Even if we really go bankrupt, it doesn’t matter. After all, we have insurance right?

With tens of thousands in interest per month, it’s not like we can spend it all.” “I was being pessimistic,” Jiang Xu laughed, “You always see things more positively. Let’s go, get out of the car.”

After the two took a shower at home, they felt much more relaxed.

Turning on his phone, Jiang Xu saw a multitude of missed calls, which he returned one by one.

At eleven o’clock at night, Ally called.

“Boss, an hour ago, our companies abroad were simultaneously hit by an unknown virus.

Furthermore, all those companies are also under investigation; issues with fire safety non-compliance, accusations of tax evasion, you name it, everything has come at once.”

“That was fast,” Jiang Xu murmured to himself, then asked, “How much of the funds from these companies abroad have been transferred out?”

“More than eighty-five percent…” Aliy hesitated, then continued, “According to our previous investments, the money transferred back just breaks even, without any loss or gain.”

“Well, that’s a relief,” Jiang Xu said solemnly. “Handle it, call back all the key personnel from the companies sent abroad, and let go of those invested companies.”

One reason was that their value was not particularly significant. Moreover, Jiang Xu knew that getting them back was virtually impossible. “Okay, got it.”

On the other end, An Nuonuo also answered one call after another after her shower.

It took her over half an hour before she stopped.

Jiang Xu passed her a cup of warm water.

After taking a few sips, An Nuonuo said, “A large portion of the money invested by my father’s company has been transferred back.

A preliminary estimate shows a profit of five or six billion.”

“That’s already very good,” Jiang Xu touched her head, “After this crisis is over, we’ll settle the account with that damn woman.”

If everything had gone smoothly, the future would have been wide open.

At most, within a few years, the group could have entered the trillion-level echelon.

They could have even gotten a share of Sangsang’s stocks.

But now, all of that had turned into nothing.

Beyond that, they would face many difficulties and would likely be noticed by those top financial magnates ahead of time.

An Nuonuo thought of something, and a flicker passed through her eyes.

At that moment, another call from Jiang Xu came through.

After he answered, his expression turned incredibly gloomy.

“What’s wrong?” An Nuonuo asked, gripping his hand.

“Dahai and the others have been detained at the airport; they’re accused of carrying dangerous goods.

To release them, they demand a ransom of one billion per person.”

Originally, Jiang Xu had arranged for thirty people to go there.

Along with Liu Dahai, that made thirty-one.

An Nuonuo said, “If there’s not enough cash, I have some here. You can use it.”

She knew Jiang Xu certainly would not ignore Liu Dahai and the others.

“We haven’t reached that point yet,” Jiang Xu’s eyes flickered, “Rest for now. Tomorrow, I’ll pay a visit to SZ to see if there’s anything he can do.”

Meanwhile, in a detention center of a transit country on their way back to their homeland,

Liu Dahai and the remaining thirty employees were locked together.

It was incredibly crowded, difficult to even turn around.

“I’m sorry, everyone,” Liu Dahai said with a bitter smile.

“Do we… still have any hope of returning?” one of the employees asked.

Liu Dahai opened his mouth.

He wanted to say they could.

But the words wouldn’t come out.

Shaking his head, “I don’t want to lie to you all. One billion ransom per person

the hope is slim.”

Even if it weren’t these regular employees, even for himself, he didn’t have much confidence that Jiang Xu would ransom him back.

After all, a billion was an astronomical amount.

Was he worth that much?

Hearing this, everyone fell silent.

Angry? Certainly, some were.

But it was futile.

Asking themselves honestly, if they were the boss, they would not likely shell out tens of billions to ransom back their ordinary employees either.

Early the next morning, Jiang Xu went to look for SZ.

He only emerged after several hours of conversation.

There was still room for negotiation in this matter.

In the following days, the officials took over the detailed discussions.

After more than ten rounds of negotiations, they arrived at a ransom of thirty million per person.

Nine hundred and thirty million in total.

This was beyond Jiang Xu’s expectations.

He had thought it would be at least fifteen billion, even twenty billion.

In fact, even if the other party was adamant and refused to budge for thirty-one billion, Jiang Xu would still pay.

Perhaps he had not evolved into a cold-blooded capitalist, incapable of abandoning his own employees.

Three more days passed.

Jiang Xu personally arrived at Devil City Airport, bringing along many people

and unfurling a huge banner to welcome their return.

Liu Dahai and the others were about to come back.

The nine hundred and thirty million had already been sent.

And the other party, under the official’s supervision, didn’t play any tricks.

But Jiang Xu knew, the matter was far from over.

At ten past ten in the morning, the plane touched down on time.

Soon, Jiang Xu saw Liu Dahai and the others.

They saw Jiang Xu, too, and the giant banner behind him.

One by one, with tears in their eyes, they knelt down before Jiang Xu.
