Chapter 848: The Damn Thief

Habitual offender.

And they all took advantage of their positions to commit crimes, and the amount involved was also extremely high.

A faint smile appeared on Shi Lei's lips, and he felt it was quite interesting.

This Xu Lezhong has been committing crimes for more than a year, but he has not left this company and is still working here.

Shi Lei also realized that this robber may have a better psychological quality than Shi Lei had imagined before.

After finding the phone number of this company, Shi Lei first called upstairs.

There was a series of English words on the phone, which roughly meant hello, this is XX Investment Company, how can I help you.

Shi Lei immediately said: "Excuse me, is Xu Lezhong in your company? A friend of mine introduced me to him to learn about some investment issues."

When the other party heard Shi Lei speaking Mandarin, he immediately changed to Mandarin. Although he had an accent, he spoke quite well.

"You are looking for Manager Xu. Please wait a moment. I will transfer the call to you."

"No need. Just tell him. I am already downstairs and will be up soon."

"Okay. I will meet you at the door."

Shi Lei hung up the phone and took the elevator upstairs. Sure enough, there was a girl in her twenties looking at the elevator door.

"Hello, may I ask..." Seeing Shi Lei walk out of the elevator, the girl immediately stepped forward to ask.

Shi Lei smiled and nodded, saying, "It's the call I just called. Is Mr. Xu there?"

"Yes, yes, what's your name?"

Shi Lei said, "My last name is Shi."

"Okay, Mr. Shi, I will take you there right away."

Following the girl, Shi Lei walked into the investment company.

Standing in front of an office door, the girl knocked gently on the door.

"Manager Xu, your client is here."

The girl said please come in, and she pushed open the door and made a gesture of invitation.

Shi Lei smiled and thanked him. The girl saw him come in and asked, "Mr. Shi, what would you like to drink? Coffee, milk tea or tea?"

"Pure water, please." Shi Lei said casually, and then looked at the man sitting behind the desk in the office.

He was in his thirties, wearing a neat suit and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses.

If it weren't for the confirmation from Dark Night Eye that this man was the robber, and the one who cashed the ticket, Shi Lei would really be deceived by his dress and temperament, and it would be hard to believe that this was actually a man who could be called a thief.

Xu Lezhong raised his head and glanced at Shi Lei, his pupils contracted sharply.

Then, he changed to a smiling face, stood up, and said, "Hello, sir, I am Xu Lezhong." Then, he looked over Shi Lei's shoulder and called the girl in Cantonese: "Jenny, go get me some recent information first, and I'll get this gentleman's tea."

After that, he naturally walked around the desk and wanted to go out.

Shi Lei quietly moved sideways, smiled, and lowered his voice and said, "Your acting is good, but when you looked up, your pupils betrayed you." Shi Lei knew that Xu Lezhong had recognized him. After all, this Xu Lezhong must have followed him all the way from the bank entrance to the Peak, and then saw him handing the promissory note to Ding Yu. He must know Shi Lei.

He just wanted to slip away now.

But how could Shi Lei give him such a chance.

Hearing what Shi Lei said, Xu Lezhong also knew that it would be difficult for him to get away quietly today, so he could only say to Jenny again: "You go prepare the information. I suddenly remembered that I have purified water in my office."

Jenny went out and closed the door.

Xu Lezhong looked, walked to the window, and closed the blinds.

Back behind the desk, Xu Lezhong sat down and asked, "How did you find me?"

Shi Lei smiled and said, "If you don't want others to know, you must not do it yourself. Mr. Xu has done two cases in more than a year. The amount of money in the last case is larger than this time. The police can't find you, but it doesn't mean that others can't find you."

Xu Lezhong nodded and said, "Sir, you are really powerful. I think I shouldn't have left any valuable clues."

"Unless your accomplice in the bank betrayed you." Shi Lei was still smiling. He was deceiving Xu Lezhong.

Xu Lezhong remained calm and shook his head, saying, "Sir, you are such a joker. I don't have any accomplices in the bank."

"I have to say that I admire Mr. Xu very much. He was so calm and lied even though I had come to his door. I went to the bank to apply for a cashier's check, and I didn't even call in advance to make an appointment. If there was no insider who notified you, how could you have rushed to the bank so quickly and successfully snatched the cashier's check?"

Xu Lezhong looked at Shi Lei seriously and said, "Mr. Shi has already handed over the cashier's check. This matter has nothing to do with Mr. Shi in essence. Why bother getting involved in this mess?"

Shi Lei raised his eyebrows and said, " So Mr. Xu knew my name. "

"Since Mr. Shi already knew that I had a partner in the bank, how could I not know Mr. Shi's name? A mere 30 million should not be a big deal for Mr. Shi, right? Besides, you have already given the money to the other party, so why bother..."

"From a business perspective, this money really has nothing to do with me. However, this is not a business, so this money has something to do with me at any time. You obviously did some work on me. But what about the person who was robbed? Didn't you do any work?"

Xu Lezhong frowned and said nothing.

"That's a scientist. They have a research institute. My money is used to fund their research institute. Now, Mr. Xu still thinks that if I give the money away, the case you committed has nothing to do with me. "?"

Xu Lezhong was stunned again, and he slowly said: "Scientist? Research Institute?"

Shi Lei nodded, and Xu Lezhong said hesitantly: "If I knew about this money... Well, it's useless to say anything now. Let's do this, Mr. Shi, give me a day, and I will be responsible for getting the money back." , return it to you intact. No matter whether you are a rich man or not, since this money is provided to some scientists for scientific research, we really shouldn’t get involved in this kind of money.”

"Oh? Rogue? Then, do you think I will let you go because of this?"

Xu Lezhong looked at Shi Lei seriously, looking very hesitant and confused.

After a while, he said: "I will pay you back the money, and I will handle the case alone. Mr. Shi, please keep a thin line as a human being, so that we can meet again in the future."

Shi Lei sneered disdainfully and said: "Why should I see you in the future? I am a businessman and you are thieves. We should never meet each other. Therefore, I cannot let you go. Rogue? I don't believe this at all. . Why don't you tell me that the last cash robbery of your company was all 43 million, and all the money was used to help the poor? Furthermore, the definition of being rich is unkind? What? Just because he is richer than you? Or is it because he has no conscience and does all kinds of bad things, but he can get away with it every time? I don't know, but at least I don't dare to say that I am. A good person, but I have never done anything to bully others or violate my conscience. Ding Yu is a scientist, and he is even less so. Based on the target you chose this time, your so-called thieves are not even bullshit."

Xu Lezhong looked at Shi Lei with slightly vacant eyes, and said sullenly: "That means there is no need to discuss? Mr. Shi, do you really think you can catch me?"
