Chapter 274 0273 Wear the Thickest Armor and Take the Most Severe Blow (IV)
Chen Jue looked at the familiar face beside Lu Zi, and he was a little surprised, and he also felt a little inexplicably angry.
This middle-aged man named Zhang Chi'an was none other than the chairman who ran away with the money when Chen Jue was working in Binjiang, Hangzhou!
When Taisheng Finance collapsed, Zhang Chi'an cooperated with his lover's finance to swindle 120 million yuan from the company's accounts, so that Chen Jue and his company employees almost didn't get the only cash compensation for layoffs.
If it weren't for the awakening attribute panel to achieve a turning point in his life, Chen Jue would probably still be lying in a rental house in Hangzhou and living a miserable life as a worker.
More than eight months have passed since Zhang Chi'an ran away, and this financial thunder case involving more than 100 million yuan has not been solved.
Because in the financial circle, running away with 100 million or 200 million yuan is not a big case.
Some of the big cases, such as Hengtai and planting, evaporated hundreds of billions or even trillions of yuan.
Chen Jue would occasionally see a few colleagues in the old unit WeChat group chat, and pay attention to the progress of the case.
I just heard from the grapevine that Chairman Zhang of Taisheng had fled to Southeast Asia, and I never expected that this guy would appear next to Lu Zi.
And seeing how he and Lu Zi were arm in arm, it was obvious that they were close friends.
"The leader of the drug trafficking group and Lao Liu who was engaged in financial operations."
"How could these two guys get together?" Chen Jue muttered in his heart.
After shaking the slot machine in front of him a few times, seeing the two men walking out arm in arm, Chen Jue got up and followed them out among the gamblers who were leaving.
...
"Boss Lu has been in the limelight recently, and his luck is good. He won more than 6 million in just two hours after sitting down at the table."
"It seems that I have to rely on Boss Lu to take care of my business in the next few days!"
In the parking lot at the entrance of Jinhuang Entertainment City, Zhang Chi'an was chatting with Lu Zi with a warm face.
"Brother Zhang, you are too polite! My little fortune cannot compare with you big financiers."
"It's a pity that Myitkyina is too small and there are really no new entertainment projects. I am a bit inadequate tonight. After the business connection with Boss Guo is completed tomorrow, I will invite Brother Zhang to experience it in other places."
Lu Zi said a few polite words, and asked his men to pass a box of fine cigars. After chatting with Zhang Chi'an, he got on the black Escalade and drove away.
As for Zhang Chi'an, he took the cigar and got on another Mercedes-Benz with a smile on his face.
It seems that this trip has gained a lot. Including his two personal bodyguards, they didn't notice that a pair of eagle-like eyes were staring at them hundreds of meters away from them.
"Did these two meet to discuss business?"
"Zhang Chi'an, the sixth brother, also started to make flour?"
"This kind of scourge has become bolder when it goes abroad without legal constraints." Chen Jue muttered, and with the help of his evolved hearing ability, he successfully captured the details of the conversation between the two.
His original goal was to capture Luz alive in the second half of the night, find out some information about the drug trafficking groups or the dark web in Western Europe from him, and then behead him to get rid of this hidden mine that made him feel grievance.
Now that he unexpectedly met Zhang Chi'an, an acquaintance, Chen Jue became more active, and he suddenly changed his action plan for the evening.
So before Zhang Chi'an left by car, Chen Jue still remembered the license plate number of the Mercedes-Benz car, and took a long-distance photo of the rear of the car with his mobile phone.
Because just now through the rear window of the Mercedes-Benz car, Chen Jue saw a tissue box with the logo of a certain hotel printed on it, and speculated that this should be a concierge car service provided by a high-end hotel.
Some five-star hotels in China also have similar services. As long as you call in advance to make an appointment, you can rent a luxury car for business reception with a little more money.
As for why he didn't follow directly, it was also because the two bodyguards with Zhang Chi'an were very skilled.
Before getting in the car, the two bodyguards kept looking around and keeping alert, and their anti-reconnaissance capabilities were very strong.
To deal with this kind of expert, you can't use the old routines of following cars in police and gangster movies, you must use Chen Jue's own way.
So after the two targets left, Chen Jue took a taxi back to the hotel where he was staying. He paid a $100 tip to the doorman waiting at the hotel entrance and asked about the logo pattern on the Mercedes-Benz car.
The entire city of Myitkyina has only more than 200,000 people, and there are only a handful of high-end hotels.
Chen Jue simply used the translation software to briefly describe the logo pattern, and the doorman who received the benefit quickly wrote the name of the hotel on a note.
"Palm Springs Resort?"
Chen Jue glanced at the English on the note and searched it on Google Maps.
He found that this place was not far from the hotel where he was staying. The straight-line distance was only more than ten kilometers. At his speed, he could walk there in half an hour at most.
So he went back to the room to rest for a while, and after more than 10 o'clock, Chen Jue packed up and dragged his suitcase out the door.
It was the busiest time for the nearby night market. Although there were local unrest and conflicts in the country, it did not affect the lives of ordinary people in Myitkyina too much.
Chen Jue stopped a tricycle on the road with his suitcase, showed the address on the note, and asked the driver to help take him to the outskirts of the Palm Springs Resort.
Unexpectedly, the environment of this resort is quite good. The whole hotel is built in the form of a manor by the river, with a few single-family villas scattered inside.
As for the muddy river on the side, it is called the Irrawaddy River. It is formed by the confluence of the Enmai River and the Mailika River, two sources from the east and the west. One of the sources is the Dulong River that passes through Gong County.
"This old man, he really knows how to enjoy himself!"
Chen Jue muttered after getting off the car.
He walked around the resort along the river outside, and first observed the environment and security measures in the hotel from a distance.
Then he found a secluded corner, took off his suit jacket, put on the tactical suit, and put two short sword darts in his pocket.
To deal with Zhang Chi'an, it is not necessary for the infantry armor to come forward.
Even if the other party has two professional bodyguards, Chen Jue is confident that he can easily solve it with his own skills.
...
Waiting outside the hotel until more than 11 o'clock, the biological clock of a normal person will basically feel sleepy at this time.
Chen Jue put the suitcase in the weeds, put on the mask, and sneaked to the periphery of the resort.
The outer part is a solid wall more than 3 meters high. There is no light on the riverside for the convenience of viewing. Such a lax security environment also creates favorable conditions for Chen Jue.
He just hooked his hand lightly and easily climbed over the wall with the help of the full-level [Climbing] skill.
After landing on the lawn inside the manor, Chen Jue relied on his unusually developed vision and flexible posture to avoid security and surveillance, and then used the developed wide-range hearing to judge the breathing of the residents inside.
After searching for less than 3 minutes, Chen Jue found Zhang Chi'an's whereabouts in the largest single-family villa in the corner.
The villa has a total of 4 floors. His two bodyguards were resting and talking in the bedroom on the second floor. From the sound of their voices, they used the Yangon dialect of the Emerald Country. They should be retired soldiers hired from the local warlords.
As for Zhang Chi'an himself, he was on the phone in the master bedroom on the third floor, as if he was reporting the situation in Myitkyina to a big shot.
In addition to these three people, there was also a sound of a shower in the bedroom on the third floor.
"Damn it!"
"This old man! He took the company's money and spent it so much?"
"Didn't he bring his financial lover with him?"
When Chen Jue heard this, he probably guessed the 18+ drama that was about to be staged in the master bedroom.
So without waiting for the third floor to start the work, he immediately climbed up quickly along the granular facade of the left wall of the villa by increasing friction with his bare hands.
It took him less than 3 seconds to climb up the 7-meter drop. Relying on the perfect [Climbing] skill, Chen Jue's hands and feet movements were now so slight that they were almost inaudible.
Even the most powerful thief in the past could not land as quietly as he did.
This also led to the fact that when Chen Jue climbed to the balcony on the third floor, the two professional bodyguards in the room on the second floor did not notice the unusual movement outside.
When Chen Jue slipped in through the half-open sliding door of the balcony, Zhang Chi'an, who had just hung up the phone and was about to go to the bathroom to have fun with someone, trembled as if he had seen a ghost and immediately collapsed.
But before he could call for help, Chen Jue, wearing a mask, had already rushed to him in half a second.
A pair of abnormally swollen iron sand palms directly smeared on the opponent's face, "slap" gave him a big pussy bean and covered his mouth and nose tightly, and then used a bone-breaking grappling technique to press Zhang Chi'an's entire back elbow on the white soft big bed.
"Woo woo~ woo~"
Zhang Chi'an struggled desperately and wanted to shout for help.
But Chen Jue's hands and reactions were too fast!
While catching the opponent with one move, the other hand had already picked up the remote control on the bedside table and turned up the TV volume in the room.
The two bodyguards who were resting and chatting in the room on the second floor, when they heard the crisp sound similar to slapping the butt just now, and then heard the masking sound of the TV, they immediately smiled at each other like old drivers, thinking that their boss was doing business upstairs, so they didn't react and continued to chat and fart.
As for Chen Jue, after subduing Zhang Chi'an, he first tied him up tightly with a torn sheet, and then stuffed a smelly sock into his mouth.
After he freed his hands, Chen Jue went into the bathroom again, knocked out the call girl who was bathing in the bathtub, and then carried Zhang Chi'an into the bathroom.
With the help of the sound of the shower head and the sound of the TV outside, Chen Jue began a bold interrogation.
"I'll ask you a few questions."
"If you can't answer, your life will be in danger."
"Don't count on the two bodyguards below. In the short time they come up, I can crush you to death a hundred times."
After saying that, Chen Jue crushed the metal shower head in the bathroom in front of Zhang Chi'an.
Seeing the terrifying grip of the masked man, Zhang Chi'an's head had already nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
If this was pinched on his throat, his trachea would probably be crushed on the spot!
In order to save his life, Zhang Chi'an even lowered the humming sound in his mouth and didn't dare to breathe.
Chen Jue saw that he was a coward, so he didn't say much. He continued to give him two big slaps to vent his anger, and then asked: "Why did you come to Myitkyina to find Lu Zi?"
"What's your relationship with him?"
"And where is the money you took from Taishengjuan?"
When he heard the first two questions, Zhang Chi'an thought he had met an enemy.
Because before coming to Myitkyina to discuss business, he had heard that Kachin State was in chaos, full of gangsters, and if he was not careful, he would lose his life in the hands of the warlords behind him.
So before coming, he specially hired two professional bodyguards to be with him, and they stayed with him every day to ensure his safety.
But when he heard the familiar company name "Tai Sheng", Zhang Chi'an was dumbfounded!
He had been hiding in the Emerald Country for almost a year, how could anyone know his identity and background?
It couldn't be that the wealthy shareholders in China who were cheated by him hired killers to deal with him?
It was just 120 million, there was no need to be so bitter and vengeful!
Besides, if the shareholders of Tai Sheng had the means and ability, why would they have to wait so long to take action?
So in this short moment, Zhang Chi'an's mind was like a revolving lantern, with thoughts flashing constantly.
Finally, seeing that he couldn't wait any longer, Chen Jue used another big force to tease the other party to wake up, and by the way, he reminded Zhang Chi'an in a very funny tone: "Don't guess blindly, I'm here to ask for my salary!" (End of this chapter)
