Chapter 223 Lexus
Three-Legged Leopard excitedly said, "Brother Long, I've already calculated it! The index will rise tomorrow!"
Without even lifting his eyelids, the man with bulging eyes typed on the keyboard and logged into a private trading website: "What are you talking about? It'll crash tomorrow!"
Li Jian didn't care at all and sat in his chair watching TV.
A news program was playing on television, and the host said, "If the Greek government fails to repay its 200 billion euro EU bonds within four months, it may have to declare bankruptcy. After the news broke, Greek government bonds were sold off on a large scale, making it difficult for the Greek government to repay its old debts by issuing new bonds."
The Greek sovereign debt crisis is on the verge of erupting.
European government bonds saw quiet trading in the US domestic market, market participants noted...
The three-legged leopard noticed that something was wrong with the bulging-eyed dragon and asked with concern, "Brother Dragon, what's wrong?"
"You wouldn't understand even if I told you," said the man with bulging eyes, staring intently at the computer screen. "I'm going to lose everything tomorrow."
"So what are you going to do now?"
"Change your tune," said the bulging-eyed dragon.
The three-legged leopard asked with a puzzled look, "Can I change what I say?"
The bulging-eyed dragon didn't answer, but typed a string of numbers into the computer.
Beep—A message pops up on the computer screen: "The login account you entered is invalid or the account service has been terminated."
Below is a string of English translations.
The bulging-eyed dragon slumped in the chair, as if all the bones in his body had been removed.
The burly man, over 1.7 meters tall, suddenly became weak and wanted to shrink into the chair.
Ring ring— Ring ring— Ring ring—
There was lightning and thunder outside.
The room was eerily silent.
Li Jian knew he could hear the bulging-eyed dragon's heavy breathing.
Suddenly, a telephone rang, sounding like a death knell in the dead of night.
The three-legged leopard stared at the bulging-eyed dragon, who in turn stared at the constantly vibrating landline phone; the air seemed to freeze.
The landline kept ringing, as if it would ring forever.
Three-Legged Leopard reached for the microphone, but Buzzy-Eyed Dragon quickly stopped him: "Don't answer it!"
The three-legged leopard sat back down.
Ring ring— Ring ring— Ring ring—
This time, it was the bulging-eyed dragon's cell phone that rang.
The man with bulging eyes could no longer play dead. He took out his phone, glanced at the caller ID, and shakily placed it on his desk.
The phone vibrated, but the bulging-eyed man reacted as if it were a death knell.
The three-legged leopard asked, "Who is it?"
The man with bulging eyes took a few deep breaths and said, "Mr. Song."
The bulging-eyed dragon turned to look at the three-legged leopard and said, "Leopard, you have to help me this time. If you can't handle this, I'm dead."
Three-Legged Leopard scoffed and said, "What are you afraid of? We've been through thick and thin, don't lose face. What kind of big scene haven't we seen? Let's join forces and go down this road together!"
"Leopard," asked the bulging-eyed dragon, "do you have Zhong Yuan's phone number?"
Three-Legged Leopard nodded and said, "That old man who lends money? Yes, he is!"
Three-Legged Leopard pulled a business card from his waist pouch and handed it to Bulging-Eyed Dragon: "Calm down, everything will be alright!"
The bulging-eyed dragon reached out and grabbed the three-legged leopard's hand, saying, "Leopard, I need you to help me rob Zhong Yuan!"
"What are you talking about?"
The three-legged leopard thought he had misheard, picked at his ear, and asked, "Robbery? How?"
The man with bulging eyes slid off the chair and knelt down: "Leopard, Leopard, you have to help me! I lost tens of millions in a deal with Mr. Song. If this hole isn't plugged, I'm going to die!"
"You're my best brother, you can't just stand by and watch me die!" The bulging-eyed dragon cried, snot running into his mouth.
Three-Legged Leopard was caught in a dilemma. He reached out and tugged at the clothes on the shoulder of the bulging-eyed dragon: "Ah Long, don't be like this. Get up and let's talk about it. Get up and let's talk about it."
But the bulging-eyed dragon clung tightly to Ah Bao's leg: "No, if you don't agree, I'll kneel here and die!"
Left with no other choice, the three-legged leopard reluctantly agreed, saying, "Alright, alright, I promise you, I'll help you rob Zhong Yuan."
The bulging-eyed dragon burst into laughter through his tears and scrambled to his feet.
He grabbed the three-legged leopard's hand and ran outside.
Three-Legged Leopard was being dragged along like a puppet, and hurriedly shouted, "Ah Long, robbery is something that needs to be planned carefully, don't be in such a hurry!"
But the bulging-eyed dragon couldn't wait. As he walked, he said, "Time is life, time is money. The futures market is volatile. We must seize this opportunity and take a big gamble!"
The bulging-eyed dragon had immense strength, and the three-legged leopard couldn't break free at all.
Three-Legged Leopard turned to Li Jian and said, "Jian, I have some things to take care of with Brother Long. Let's talk another day!"
Li Jian laughed and said, "Robbery? I love robbery the most. I'll go with you."
Both the three-legged leopard and the bulging-eyed dragon looked astonished.
Three-Legged Leopard stopped Li Jian and said seriously, "Jian, we're not joking around. We're going to fight for real, and someone could die if things go wrong. You're with a good boss; you'll have luxury cars to drive and a bright future ahead of you. There's no need for you to follow us down this dark path."
Li Jian laughed and said, "Brother Leopard, I want to broaden my horizons with you guys. Also, I'm pretty good at fighting!"
"Oh? How good are you at fighting?" Three-Legged Leopard gestured a Bruce Lee fighting stance. "Back in the day, Brother Long and I took two watermelon knives and hacked our way from Mong Kok to Tsim Sha Tsui. We hacked back and forth for three days and three nights without even blinking."
Li Jian threw a casual punch, hitting a steel pipe of the scaffolding next to him.
A muffled thud.
The scaffolding steel pipe, as thick as a child's arm, had a noticeable bend.
hiss - hiss -
The three-legged leopard and the bulging-eyed dragon both gasped in shock.
The way they looked at Li Jian also underwent a fundamental change.
The bulging-eyed dragon deliberately ran to the side of the scaffolding, reached out and vigorously rubbed the curved scaffolding, and even tapped it with his hand.
"Gudong-"
The guy with bulging eyes couldn't help but swallow hard: "Brother, what kind of kung fu is that?"
Li Jian chuckled: "I don't know kung fu, I'm just naturally strong!"
The three-legged leopard grabbed Li Jian's arm, sniffed it under its nose, and then vigorously wiped it with the hem of its clothes, clicking its tongue in amazement and saying, "What a deadly iron arm!"
Li Jian pulled his arm back in disgust: "It's the Mighty Vajra Hand!"
"Alright, alright, no matter what kind of hands you have, with your strength, I've decided to be your brother!"
The bulging-eyed dragon slapped Li Jian's arm hard.
He and Three-Legged Leopard were initially a little apprehensive, but with Li Jian's addition, Bulky-Eyed Dragon felt confident that the robbery would succeed.
"Come on, get in my car!"
A Lexus with bulging eyes drove up, and he let Li Jian and Three-Legged Leopard get in. He patted the steering wheel and said, "Jian, if you come with me, I guarantee you'll be driving a luxury car in less than two years!"
Lexus.
Luxury car?
Although Sanjiaobao doesn't know much about cars, he once rode in Li Jian's white BMW.
Sitting in the car with the protruding eyes now, I always feel like something's missing.
