Chapter 1225: There is no choice
An Tianyu looked out the window, the sky was still sunny just now, and it was already gloomy at some point, as if a rainstorm had fallen.
She sighed: "This Li Chao is very problematic, I think we should send someone to keep an eye on him, as long as we can find the person who colluded with him, we can find the mastermind behind it." ”
Qi Sisi frowned: "But we don't have any manpower to send now......"
An Tianyu replied: "The people around me can be sent over, I usually don't go out of the hotel much, and I don't need too many people." ”
Qi Sisi shook his head: "That's not good, it's so messy here, if something happens to you, I can't explain it to the second uncle, but don't worry, I will immediately let Ziming transfer people to keep an eye on Li Chao." ”
An Tianyu could only compromise: "That's fine." ”
……
Li Chao left the coffee shop and returned to the newspaper office.
He didn't go back to his cubicle, but went straight to the editor-in-chief's office.
The old editor-in-chief has not eaten and slept well these days because of the previous incident, and the whole person looks haggard.
He pushed his reading glasses upward: "How's it going?" ”
Li Chao sat down opposite him: "How to say it, it's not that there is no room for maneuver, it's just that their lions open their mouths widely......"
The old editor-in-chief nodded: "How much do they want?" ”
Li Chao said Qi Sisi's words from beginning to end, and added at the end: "I originally wanted to bargain with them, but Qi Sisi's attitude was resolute, and it seemed that there was no room for maneuver at all. ”
The editor-in-chief pressed his temple with one hand, and fiddled with a pen with the other casually: "500,000 is not a large amount for them, but it is an astronomical amount for us, which is really a headache." ”
Li Chao frowned: "Although the efficiency of our newspaper is not particularly good, it should not even be able to make up a mere 500,000 yuan, if it really doesn't work, you can try to find a friend to help." ”
The editor-in-chief shook his head: "I don't have any powerful friends, hey...... Okay, you go out first, and I'll see if there's any other way. ”
Li Chao had no intention of leaving: "Qi Sisi said, only give us two days, if we can't raise money in two days, they will appeal directly." ”
The editor-in-chief was stunned: "Two days, isn't it too broken?" ”
Li Chao smiled bitterly: "They originally planned to take action today, but thanks to that An Tianyu, they persuaded her." I just got the news that the other two newspapers have taken her to court, and she kind of saved face for us. ”
The editor-in-chief sighed: "Two days, where can I go to get so much money?" This Qi Sisi is very similar to her second uncle's temper, resolute and ruthless! ”
Li Chao smiled: "Who doesn't say yes, he is very stubborn ......"
The editor-in-chief looked at him and suddenly changed the subject: "I remember that you have an older brother abroad. ”
Li Chao was stunned for a moment: "Yes, my brother is doing business abroad, and he has done very well in the first few years, but the past two years have been unsatisfactory." ”
The editor-in-chief smiled: "There is an old Chinese saying that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and I think since he can stay abroad to make money, he must be worth a lot of money, can you let him help raise some money." ”
As soon as Li Chao heard him mention his brother, he already knew his purpose, and after hesitating, he nodded: "Okay, editor-in-chief, I'll go to him to find a way, but I think if the number is too large, I'm afraid there will be no hope." ”
The editor-in-chief smiled: "500,000, I can get about 300,000 or 400,000 on my own side, and he should be able to get the rest, right?" And don't worry, when my side turns around, I will pay him back immediately. ”
Li Chao nodded, he could still accept this amount.
The editor-in-chief finally stretched his brows: "Then, how long will it take for the funds to be transferred?" ”
Li Chao thought for a while: "Tonight." ”
The editor-in-chief smiled: "You go and do this right away." ”
Li Chao left the newspaper.
Today's weather is not good, dark clouds are piling up overhead, giving people a depressing and dreary feeling, as if a rainstorm is coming.
He came here today in his own car, a niche sports car, very unobtrusive.
There are not many cars and pedestrians on the road, and Li Chao is driving the car while checking his bank card balance.
He has hundreds of thousands of funds, and he has it.
He has never had a good relationship with his brother, and it is impossible to open his mouth to beg him for this kind of thing, so he can only think of his own ideas.
The reason why this incident caused such a big mess is that he is actually the culprit.
Reasonably, he couldn't let the newspaper go out of business.
He was just fiddling with his phone, but he ignored that there was a car next to him, and he was always with him.
When they reached the fork in the road, the car suddenly accelerated and crossed in front of his car.
Li Chao couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and after reacting, he hurriedly stepped on the brakes, and the car came to a dangerous stop.
Li Chao wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, rolled down half of the car window, and poked his head out: "Don't you have long eyes when you walk, why are you blocking other people's paths?" ”
In the other party's car, two men dressed in black got out of the car, and then forced Li Chao out of his car and stuffed it into his car.
Li Chao had already guessed their identities at this time, and he did not resist senselessly.
The car left the city all the way and finally stopped on an empty road in the suburbs.
Li Chao frowned and looked at the back of the man in the co-pilot seat in front of him: "Is there anything wrong with me?" ”
The man didn't look back, his voice was deep and hoarse: "I want to know why you haven't moved much recently, have you forgotten the promise you made to me?" ”
Li Chao sighed: "Because of what happened last time, Lu Ziming's side has not been relentless, how dare I add chaos at this juncture." ”
The man smiled coldly: "What do you mean by this, are you planning to break our agreement?" ”
Li Chao sighed: "Then how dare I, I just want to stabilize for the time being, and wait for this period of time before taking action." ”
The sky was getting more and more gloomy, and the outside of the car was gloomy, and there were raindrops rustling down the windows.
The man's voice was a little colder: "However, I don't want to wait for a moment, either you fulfill your promise, or I will take back everything I gave you at the beginning, and you can choose the two paths yourself." ”
Li Chao was stunned for a moment: "But it's not authentic for you to do this, aren't you forcing me to hit the muzzle?" And then again, I paid a lot of money for receiving your benefits in the first place, isn't it too much for you to do this......"
The man said, "Is it too much?" I don't think so, I just want to get my own things back, let me tell you Li Chao, my temper is much bigger than Lu Ziming, if you dare to choose him between the two of us, that is looking for death. ”
The wind seemed to be blowing harder, coming in through the cracks in the car windows, and the cold felt like a chill.
Li Chao's face turned pale, and he subconsciously wrapped his coat: "What you said is serious, am I just joking, I am actually thinking about how to make a move in the past two days, do you think this is good, I will give you a satisfactory result by tomorrow afternoon at the latest." ”
The man smiled, "Okay, I can wait until tomorrow afternoon, but I want to warn you, don't play tricks with me, or I'll let you die a miserable death." ”
Li Chao was clever and had a cold war, and he laughed: "You are joking with me again, we are grasshoppers tied to a rope, fighting for common interests, how can I not do my best." ”
The man snorted coldly: "The one who knows the times is Junjie, I hope you don't let me down." ”
……
When Li Chao returned to his residence, the rain was still falling.
He got into the villa from the car, and his clothes were drenched.
Shivered and went into the bathroom, and after a long shower of hot water, his body finally warmed up.
He listened to the sound of water in his ears, but his mind was a mess.
He felt that he was on a thief ship, and it was easy to get on the ship and difficult to get off the ship, and if he didn't get it right, he would invite a murderous disaster.
He was genuinely annoyed by his original decision, but there was no turning back when he started work, and he didn't know how to make a decision when things came to this point.
Although Lu Ziming does not have much industry in City A, and his contacts are not particularly wide, he has a deep background after all, and it is not as difficult to kill himself as it is to kill an ant.
And the man came from an unknown source and did everything.
No matter which side you compromise with, it won't end well.
He felt that he could only ruthlessly let go of everything here, go far away, and never look back.
However, the man's previous warning is still vivid, and it is not easy to leave.
He was thinking about it when a deafening thunder suddenly sounded outside the window.
A bolt of lightning pierced the gloomy sky, making it particularly dazzling.
Li Chao's eyes suddenly lit up.
Today's weather is so bad, even if that man sends someone to keep an eye on him, he shouldn't be staring at him very closely, and he should have a chance to take advantage of it.
He had to take advantage of this opportunity to leave.
However, in such weather, it is naturally impossible to leave by plane.
Then, you have to go to another city and leave again.
Li Chao made up his mind, simply packed up his things, and then braved the torrential rain and left quietly from the back door of the villa.
Li Chao left suddenly, and An Tianyu only got the news the next day.
When Qi Sisi told her, she was only shocked and incredulous: "Why did he leave suddenly, didn't we talk about it yesterday?" ”
Qi Sisi shook his head: "Went quietly, the editor-in-chief of his newspaper is now looking for him all over the world, the phone can't get through, no one can be found in the villa, none of his friends are aware, and it is said that he has called the police." ”
An Tianyu was stunned: "This is strange, is it possible...... Is he in danger? ”
Qi Sisi frowned: "A person like him deserves to kill people, but I think it is very likely that he just left City A and left in order to take refuge." ”
