Chapter 60 Xiao Ning's Hesitation
A cool night breeze blew as Xiao Ning stood on the balcony, gazing at the city lights. His fingers hovered over his phone screen, hesitant to press the dial button. The screen displayed Li Zhanchuan's number.
His mind was in turmoil, the cold questioning from Li Zhanchuan in the office earlier that day echoing in his mind:
"Xiao Ning, I gave you a chance. But I also hope you understand that there is no second chance."
Xiao Ning gritted his teeth, just as he was about to press the dial button, his phone suddenly vibrated. The name "Shen Fang" appeared on the screen. His expression changed slightly, and after hesitating for a moment, he answered the call.
"Xiao Ning," Shen Fang's voice was urgent on the other end of the phone, "has your fund transfer been completed?"
Xiao Ning took a deep breath and tried his best to calm his tone: "It's done as planned. The funds have been distributed to several accounts, and there are no abnormalities at the moment."
Shen Fang visibly relaxed, her tone softening slightly: "Very good. Lin Chuyue and Gu Yanchuan still think they can compete with me? They're still too green. Next, continue with the plan and make proper arrangements for the remaining funds."
Xiao Ning lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, "President Shen, I'm a little worried. The other party is moving too fast and may already be watching us in secret."
Shen Fang sneered: "So what if they're watching us? I still have plenty of cards to play. As long as they make a move, we can strike first."
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Ning's hand trembled slightly. He gave a wry smile, stuffed his phone into his pocket, and muttered to himself, "You have the cards, but I'm the only loophole in your game."
“Xiao Ning’s reactions are getting slower and slower; he’s starting to get uneasy.” Lin Chuyue closed the file in her hand and looked up at Gu Yanchuan across from her.
Gu Yanchuan put down his coffee cup, a hint of coldness in his eyes: "This unease is to our advantage. Once Xiao Ning's emotions fluctuate, he will make the wrong decision."
Lin Chuyue tapped the table lightly, her tone resolute: "However, we cannot rely on him completely. His key role is only to lure Shen Fang out."
Gu Yanchuan's lips curled up slightly, with a hint of approval: "It seems you already have a plan. Tell me about it."
Lin Chuyue smiled calmly: "Shen Fang's final step in her plan is definitely the transfer of a large sum of money. Her weakness is that she is too eager for quick success. We'll set a trap for her, a big enough bait, so that she thinks she can turn the tables."
Gu Yanchuan nodded and pondered, "For example, a large-scale business collaboration, involving a sum of money that would entice her."
“Yes.” Lin Chuyue narrowed her eyes slightly and said coldly, “We pretended to introduce an overseas investor so that Shen Fang would think she could take the opportunity to launder the funds.”
Gu Yanchuan pondered for a moment, then a smile appeared on his lips: "I'll handle this. You're responsible for continuing to contact Xiao Ning and guiding him step by step into this trap with Shen Fang."
Lin Chuyue smiled gently: "What we want is not a small victory, but to completely crush her."
Late at night, Li Zhanchuan's office was still brightly lit. He sat behind his large desk, reviewing the latest cash flow report.
"Shen Fang has indeed started to take action." He closed the file and looked out the window with a deep gaze. "Xiao Ning's role is even more significant than I expected."
Standing to the side, Xiao Zhou couldn't help but speak up: "President Li, now that we have information on her cash flow, shouldn't we take action directly?"
Li Zhanchuan chuckled lightly, a hint of coldness in his eyes: "It's not time yet. She thinks she's in control of everything, but in fact, every step she takes is part of my plan."
Xiao Zhou nodded, then asked, "But Xiao Ning... do you think he's reliable?"
"Is he reliable?" Li Zhanchuan chuckled softly, his voice tinged with coldness. "It doesn't matter. I can control every step he takes."
"So what's the next step?"
"Keep laying the net." Li Zhanchuan raised his head, his eyes sharp as knives. "When Shen Fang and Xiao Ning have concentrated all their funds into the last company, we'll close the net. I want her to lose everything."
Meanwhile, Shen Fang stood in her study, staring at the documents on the table with a gloomy expression.
"Lin Chuyue..." she murmured the name, a ruthless glint in her eyes, "What other tricks are you hiding?"
The assistant pushed open the door and handed over a document: "President Shen, this is the fund transfer report that Xiao Ning just submitted. Everything is proceeding according to plan."
Shen Fang took the document and quickly flipped through it, but her brows furrowed even deeper: "The funds are being distributed too slowly, which is not in line with expectations."
The assistant hesitated and said, "Perhaps he was worried about being discovered, so he deliberately slowed down."
Shen Fang snorted coldly: "Don't make excuses. Go tell him that if there is any further delay, don't blame me for being impolite."
"Yes, I'll go right away." The assistant immediately left.
Shen Fang rubbed her temples and muttered to herself, "Xiao Ning, don't disappoint me. Otherwise, you have no reason to exist."
The scheme set up by Lin Chuyue and Gu Yanchuan is gradually tightening, while Li Zhanchuan's plan is also being secretly advanced.
Shen Fang was still unaware that she was walking step by step into a trap, and her only reliance was on Xiao Ning, whom she thought was still under her control.
However, she was unaware that the rules of the game had already been rewritten.
