Chapter 175 How many spears should be fired?

At that moment, the young female accountant looked at her manager's expression, which looked as if he had seen a ghost, and asked cautiously, "Manager, are you alright? Should we book this money?"

Wang Dachui snapped back to reality.

He sprang up from the floor, his fat face covered in cold sweat, his features almost scrunching together.

"Book it, my ass!"

He roared with a trembling voice, "This money is burning hot! It's going to burn us to death! You, you get out first! Don't tell anyone! Close the door behind you!"

After shooing the bewildered young accountant out, Wang Dachui tremblingly pulled his phone from his pocket.

His fingers were shaking so badly that he pressed the wrong keys several times.

He had to contact that number from yesterday immediately, right now.

This was fifty million ugly yuan!

This wasn't like his business selling used underwear on Xianyu; even if people complained about that, it wouldn't matter, but this was different!

And while Wang Dachui loved to brag, he was still a law-abiding citizen!

"Beep, beep, beep."

The call connected.

Every ring made Wang Dachui's chest tighten.

Finally, the call went through.

It was still that stiff, serious Chinese voice.

"Hello, did you receive the money?"

The other party's tone was very calm, as if they hadn't transferred fifty million ugly yuan, but just five yuan for phone credit.

Wang Dachui swallowed hard, his voice laced with a sob, his previous arrogance long gone:

"Bi, Big Brother! No, Grandfather!"

"I received the money, but, but I can't take it!"

"I, I was just joking with you yesterday! I'm just someone who sells toys, not some Arms Dealer! You, you give me your card number, and I'll send it back right now! I don't want a single cent! I beg you!"

There was a brief silence on the other end of the line.

The silence made Wang Dachui unable to catch his breath.

A few seconds later, a cold sneer came through the receiver.

"Heh."

Immediately after, that voice suddenly rose, filled with fury, making Wang Dachui's eardrums buzz:

"Refund?!"

"Spokesperson for Mr. Li, are you joking with me?!"

"Our capital flow has long been monitored by the Ugly Country's intelligence agencies! To transfer this money to you, we utilized dozens of money-laundering networks and used the highest-level technical means just to silently transfer the money into your account!"

"The temporary account used for that transfer was completely cancelled the second the money went out!"

The other party's voice carried a strong sense of intimidation:

"And now you're telling me you want a refund? How? Return it the same way?"

"If you dare to transfer even a cent of this money back, it will immediately trigger the Ugly Country's financial warning system! By then, this money will be frozen, and some of our capital networks might be exposed!"

"As the biggest private Arms Dealer in the Eastern Country, how could you not understand these tricks?!"

Wang Dachui was stunned by the scolding.

He hung his mouth open, listening blankly to the other party's string of professional jargon.

Capital monitoring, account cancellation, financial warnings.

He had never even heard of them!

"I, I really don't understand," Wang Dachui said, wanting to cry. "I'm just, just an employee."

"Stop playing dumb with me!"

The other party was clearly enraged and didn't believe Wang Dachui's nonsense at all.

In his view, this was a classic case of double-crossing.

The money was given to the other party, and then they suddenly said, "I'm not selling anymore, I'll refund you," but returning the money would trigger an alarm. If that's not acting like a rogue, what is?

"Fine, you want to double-cross me, right?"

The other party's tone became sinister, every word seemingly squeezed out from between his teeth, "I'm telling you, no way!"

"You've already received the money, and you must deliver the goods!"

"If you dare to renege on the debt, if you dare not to ship the goods."

The other party paused, then threw out a threat:

"I will call the police!"

"I will report you to the police in the Eastern Country! I will report you to Interpol! I'll say that your Li Family Toy Factory took the money but didn't deliver the goods, committing commercial fraud!"

"And!"

"I will use all our media resources to expose you on the internet! I will let the whole world know that the famous Li Family Toy Factory is a fraud that takes money and then reneges!"

"We will plaster the transfer records all over the world! We will ruin your reputation!"

"Beep! Beep! Beep!"

The call was cut off again.

This time, the other party was clearly truly furious.

Wang Dachui stood frozen in place, holding the phone.

His mind was a mess, filled with the other party's final roars.

Call the police?

Expose?

Fraud?

Ruin reputation?

These words echoed repeatedly in his not-so-developed brain.

Slowly, a glimmer of clarity appeared in Wang Dachui's small eyes.

He began to conduct a logical deduction exclusive to the "Big Smart One."

'Call the police.'

'If he calls the police, and the police come to investigate and find that I received fifty million but didn't deliver the goods.'

'Then at most, I'd be suspected of fraud, or trading unidentified items privately.'

'For this charge, the worst that happens is I go to jail, right?' A thought emerged in his mind.

'What's scary about jail? It's not like I haven't been in before; everyone inside is a talent, and they speak so well.'

Thinking of this, Wang Dachui shook his head.

'No, jail is a minor matter.'

'But.'

His pupils constricted, and his face showed fear.

'But he's going to expose us!'

'He said he wants the whole world to know the Li Family Toy Factory is a fraud!'

'If the factory's reputation is ruined and it's labeled as a fraud, then who will buy our toys in the future? How will the boss continue to make it in the business?'

'The Li Family Toy Factory's gold-plated reputation is the empire the boss worked so hard to build!'

'It absolutely cannot be destroyed in my hands!'

Wang Dachui slapped his thigh, his gaze becoming firm.

In his bizarre set of values, personal freedom and life or death were nothing compared to the factory's reputation and the boss's face.

I can go to jail, I can die.

But the Li Family Toy Factory absolutely cannot be a fraud!

We are legitimate business people!

If you take the money, you have to do the job!

That's the rule!

"Damn it, I'll risk it!"

Wang Dachui gritted his teeth, a tragic expression appearing on his fat face.

He absolutely could not allow this to happen!

To protect the factory's reputation, to prevent the boss from bearing the infamy of being a fraud.

He had to find a way to ship the goods to the other party.

But what kind of spear am I supposed to send?
