No, it's not a bit serious!

It's quite serious!

A Hong Kong businessman with a remarkable identity and high status was kidnapped during his investment in Lingjiang.

If this matter is not handled well, it might escalate to an international incident!

"Let me ask."

Song Guanchao couldn't be bothered to think too much.

Whether it's true or not, just bring the person over and ask directly to find out.

Moreover, he thought there was a high probability that the other party was a scammer.

After all, he couldn't figure out any reason Tang Zhengqiang would have to deceive him; it wouldn't benefit him in any way.

Soon, Lu Feng brought the man back.

Song Guanchao asked, "Tell me, how long have you been preparing for this scam?"

He didn't ask about the funds in the account, nor did he ask if they were scammers.

Instead, he directly confirmed their identity as scammers and, based on that, asked more in-depth questions.

If they weren't scammers, they would argue back.

If they were scammers, they'd answer directly.

Wu Qiangwei and Qu Xiangru were both a little nervous, waiting for his response.

The man shuddered at Song Guanchao's words.

When Song Guanchao had just asked him for the account password, he felt that the other party might have already guessed their identity as scammers.

Sure enough, the other party truly knew!

The man was very puzzled, who exactly was the other party?

Where did they find out?

And when did they discover it?

"Speak!" Song Guanchao's voice deepened.

The man was startled and stammered, "A, about eight months."

Upon hearing his answer, the tension in the three of them instantly eased.

They were indeed scammers!

Not some Hong Kong businessman!

"Eight months?"

"You guys were well-prepared."

"Tell me what's going on with the money in the account." He then asked about the over one billion dollars in the account.

The man said, "It's the deposit paid by those developers."

"Because we're planning to develop a large project, we intend to subcontract it."

"These developers want to take on some of the supporting projects, so they have to pay a deposit to be eligible to bid."

The three of them suddenly understood.

They realized what was going on.

This scammer group was planning to profit from both ends!

On one hand, scamming bank loans.

On the other hand, under the guise of project development, offering these projects for subcontracting.

Just from the deposits, they had collected over a billion dollars!

Understanding the situation, the three relaxed.

Song Guanchao told Lu Feng to take him away.

He closed his laptop and said, "Two Secretaries, let's go eat first."

Wu Qiangwei said, "Let's go to my place."

Carrying something so important, it's not safe to eat outside.

Moreover, their conversation was sensitive and couldn't be overheard by outsiders.

An hour later, they arrived at Wu Qiangwei's place.

Shortly after they entered, the takeout they ordered on the way arrived.

This was Qu Xiangru's first time at Wu Qiangwei's home.

Song Guanchao put away his laptop, excitedly unwrapped the packages, and said, "Secretary Wu, Secretary Qu, come eat."

The two women washed their hands and came over to sit down.

Song Guanchao suddenly asked, "Do the two Secretaries want to have a drink to celebrate?"

Wu Qiangwei asked, "Secretary Qu, how about a drink?"

"Sure." Qu Xiangru replied lazily with a smile.

Song Guanchao brought a bottle of red wine, poured some for the two of them, and filled a glass for himself.

At the table, it was mainly Wu Qiangwei and Qu Xiangru discussing the scam.

Unconsciously, they finished a bottle of red wine.

Song Guanchao opened another bottle.

The second bottle of red wine was quickly consumed.

While Song Guanchao seemed unfazed, the two women were already a bit tipsy.

"Secretaries, why don't you sit on the sofa for a while."

"Okay."

Wu Qiangwei stood up, supporting herself against the table, her steps unsteady, body swaying.

Normally, she wouldn't drink this much; it was only because Song Guanchao was around, giving her a sense of security, that she drank so much.

Qu Xiangru was the same; with Song Guanchao there, she subconsciously felt safe and didn't pay attention to how much she drank.

By the time she noticed, she was already drunk.

The two women leaned back on the sofa, watching TV, chatting casually.

Song Guanchao cleaned up the table, then took out his laptop, and started transferring funds.

He directly moved the money to an overseas account.

After finishing this, he walked over and saw the two women, face flushed like peaches, which made his heart race.

Their current state was very alluring.

Relaxed, leaning on the sofa, their shapely long legs draped over the sofa cushion.

Seemingly a bit hot, several buttons were undone at their shirts' collars, revealing their bras without much need for a specific angle.

"Secretary Qu, let me take you home."

Qu Xiangru glanced at the time and gave a sound of agreement.

"It's late, why not stay here, Secretary Qu?" Wu Qiangwei said.

Qu Xiangru had drunk a bit too much, feeling heavy and not wanting to move.

Upon hearing this, she didn't put on airs but smiled gently, "Alright."

Then she looked at Song Guanchao with a charming smile and said, "Secretary Song, Wu's house is big, why don't you stay tonight as well?"

This woman, acting so cold normally.

Yet in front of Wu Qiangwei, pretending to seduce him.

Song Guanchao was about to refuse, saying there was no need.

But Wu Qiangwei spoke first, "Guanchao, you drank, so don't go back. Rest here tonight. Don't leave tomorrow either, stay here and keep an eye on the account—transfer the money once it arrives."

"Oh... okay."

Song Guanchao paused for two seconds, scratched his head, and as if driven by a spirit, said, "I didn't bring any underwear."

Wu Qiangwei, already flushed, turned an even deeper red.

She glared at him, slightly annoyed.

Qu Xiangru was still there!

How could he say something that could be misunderstood so easily!

Nearby, even Qu Xiangru's cheeks turned a bit red.

Song Guanchao realized he had said something that could easily be misunderstood and asked, "Who wants to shower first?"

Qu Xiangru propped herself up on the sofa, lazily standing like a siren.

She casually brushed aside her hair and said, "I'll go first."

Walking towards the bathroom, she paused next to Song Guanchao and casually draped her arm over his shoulder, leaning her body against him.

Half of her soft chest was pressed against his arm, slightly deformed from the pressure.

"Secretary Song, care to join me for a shower?"

Song Guanchao's mouth twitched; if it wasn't for Wu Qiangwei being present, he might have already picked her up.

"Secretary Qu, you're quite the tease."

"Oh, I'm not joking," Qu Xiangru leaned closer, deliberately rubbing her chest against his arm, "You could help me scrub my back."

After speaking, she seemed to just remember Wu Qiangwei was there, turning back to say, "Hope Secretary Wu doesn't mind?"
