Chapter 224 Zhong Yuan
The man with protruding eyes drove his car to the building downstairs of Wantong Bank.
A voice came over the car radio: "Experts point out that if the European sovereign debt crisis intensifies, it will inevitably affect my country's exports to the EU. Spain and Italy, in particular, have very close trade ties with my country among EU member states. If the crisis spreads to these countries, the impact on my country's exports will be even more significant..."
The bulging-eyed dragon turned to look at the three-legged leopard and Li Jian, his tone sincere and earnest: "Leopard, Jian, my life is in your hands. You must succeed! Once we've made some money, I'll invite you to Dongguan!"
As he spoke, Tu Yanlong took out his phone and dialed Zhong Yuan's number.
A short while later, a silver Mercedes-Benz S330 with its hood ornament stood out passed by.
The three-legged leopard recognized it at a glance: "It's Zhong Yuan's car!"
The bulging-eyed dragon once again urged the three-legged leopard and Li Jian: "Leopard, Jian, I'm counting on you!"
"Don't worry, Brother Long, we'll win!" Three-Legged Leopard patted Protruding-Eyed Dragon on the shoulder and pulled Li Jian out of the car.
Li Jian and Sanjiaobao jogged into the underground parking garage.
"Hey, go through the wall! There are CCTV cameras in here!"
Seeing that Li Jian was so carefree and didn't know how to hide himself, the three-legged leopard quickly pulled him over.
Following the direction the three-legged leopard was pointing, Li Jian saw several surveillance cameras at the corner.
Three-Legged Leopard was acting suspiciously, like a thief. Seeing Li Jian's nonchalant expression, Three-Legged Leopard couldn't help but lecture him: "Jian, although we're robbing people, we don't necessarily have to use violence. We need to outsmart them, understand?"
The three-legged leopard pointed to its head.
Li Jian shook his head and said, "Brother Leopard, why bother with this? If you ask me, just hit him from behind with a hammer, take the money and run!"
"Confused!"
Three-Legged Leopard said with a dark face, "We're after money, not murder. If we really maim or kill someone, the police will be after us relentlessly."
"As I said before, we must use strategy, not violence!"
Three-Legged Leopard genuinely wanted to pass on his experience to Li Jian, speaking earnestly and patiently without ever getting annoyed.
Seeing that the three-legged leopard was still going to talk nonsense, Li Jian quickly pointed ahead and said, "Hey, that old man is gone!"
The three-legged leopard turned its head and immediately tiptoed over.
"Ah Jian, let me show you what Brother Leopard is capable of!"
As he spoke, the three-legged leopard pulled an iron ruler from his waist pouch and stuffed it into the gap of the Mercedes-Benz window.
Click!
With a soft click, the three-legged leopard opened the window of the Mercedes-Benz.
"Ah Jian, come in quickly!"
Three-Legged Leopard beckoned to Li Jian, preparing to pull him into the back seat so he could surprise old man Zhong Yuan.
Li Jian waved his hand and said, "Brother Leopard, the back seat is too small to fit two people. I'll go upstairs and take a look."
After saying that, Li Jian walked towards the elevator.
"Hey Hey hey!"
Three-Legged Leopard shouted in a low voice, not daring to shout too loudly, and could only watch helplessly as Li Jian disappeared into the garage.
"Push to the street!"
Three-Legged Leopard cursed, and one of them climbed into the back seat.
Li Jian took the elevator to the floor where Wantong Bank was located.
"Sir, how can I help you?"
A pretty young woman in a black and white office lady suit walked over, but her moderately sized cleavage didn't interest Li Jian at all.
Li Jian asked, "I'd like to ask which office Zhong Yuan went to?"
The pretty young woman pointed and said, "He was received by Teresa Chu. Are you looking for him?"
Li Jian nodded and said, "I can go by myself."
Seeing that Li Jian wasn't interested in her, the pretty young woman didn't continue trying to win him over and turned to serve other guests.
People on Hong Kong Island are just that pragmatic.
If you're useful to me, I can lick your ass.
You're useless to me. Even if you lick my ass, I'd complain that your tongue is too stiff.
As Li Jian walked to Teresa Chu's office door, he heard Zhong Yuan's aged voice coming from inside: "Hey, you bulging-eyed dragon, Attorney Tao said he only sent up one property deed."
"Can I give you the money tomorrow?"
"One property deed is worth 500 million, two are worth 1000 million, three are fine too, I'll give you 1500 million."
Li Jian knew that Zhong Yuan was on the phone with Tu Yanlong.
Zhong Yuan is a professional lender who won't act until he sees a clear profit. If you want money from him, you have to offer something as collateral first.
as predicted.
From inside the house came Zhong Yuan's voice: "Teresa Chu, take 500 million first, and deposit the rest back."
Teresa Chu said, "Oh, I'll write you an invoice."
Zhong Yuan said, "No need, you can pay me back next time."
Click!
The office door opened, and Zhong Yuan, who had hardly any hair on his head, walked out carrying a black handbag.
Li Jian glanced into the office.
A short-haired female bank employee sat at her workstation, looking exhausted.
Li Jian waited in the same spot for a while.
The female employee in the office rushed out, clutching a cell phone in her hand, shouting as she ran, "Mr. Zhong! Mr. Zhong! Your cell phone!"
Li Jian followed.
underground garage.
The three-legged leopard lay in ambush in the back seat of the car, holding a utility knife, ready to wait for its prey to come to it.
Zhong Yuan got into the car and placed the black handbag on the passenger seat.
The three-legged leopard, holding a utility knife, was preparing to act.
Click, click, click!
The passenger-side window was smashed, and countless shards of glass rained down on the three-legged leopard's head like a shower of flowers.
The three-legged leopard quickly covered its head with its hands and howled loudly.
A large black hand suddenly reached in through the passenger window, grabbed the black handbag, and prepared to run away.
Although Zhong Yuan is old, he is still agile.
She grabbed the black handbag and began a tug-of-war with the masked man.
"Damn it, you dare to steal from me, you bastard!"
Zhong Yuan was getting old and his stamina couldn't match that of the younger men, so he was defeated in the first round.
The masked robber grabbed the bag and ran.
Pfft!
Before he could run two steps, Zhong Yuan hit him on the back of the head with a wad of newspaper, knocking him to the ground.
Zhong Yuan walked over, picked up the newspaper, and found a hammer inside.
Zhong Yuan spat, picked up his handbag, and walked back: "Damn it, this is outrageous! You're robbing me!"
Zhong Yuan was about to open the car door.
Bah!
The masked man got up at some point, picked up Zhong Yuan's hammer, and hit Zhong Yuan on the head as well.
Pfft!
Zhong Yuan, whose head was not very wealthy to begin with, was hit by a hammer and was in a daze. He leaned against the car and his vision went black.
The masked man was focused on escaping, so he picked up the black handbag and turned to leave.
Who would have thought that Zhong Yuan, despite his advanced age, was still vigorous and picked up a hammer, knocking the masked man to the ground.
This time.
Zhong Yuan showed no mercy, taking advantage of his illness to kill him!
Bang—Bang—Bang—
Zhong Yuan struck the masked man hard on the back of the head several times with a hammer, making the man convulse.
Zhong Yuan picked up the black bag while cursing: "You're dead meat! How dare you steal my money, you damn bastard!"
As Zhong Yuan swung the hammer, he cursed, "Go to hell! Trying to steal it! Fuck your mother!"
