30: Hiring a killer
It was only when he received a call from the charity center that Chairman Dai realized he had become a super philanthropist.
At first, Chairman Dai thought the other party was joking with him.
Either it was a scam call, saying he had donated hundreds of millions without compensation, wanting to present him with a certificate of honor and arrange a news interview.
Chairman Dai wouldn't believe it and hung up the phone directly.
But after much thought, he still felt uneasy and opened the bank app to check his balance.
It would have been better if he hadn't checked. Upon checking, he was dumbfounded when he saw the large number of zeros.
He kept refreshing, switching between 5G data and Wi-Fi, but the zeros remained zeros.
Chairman Dai didn't believe in evil and took out his phone to call the bank manager.
As a result, he learned from the other party that he had indeed personally operated it, and all verifications were fine, and he had donated the money to the national charity organization without compensation.
Chairman Dai immediately couldn't help but blurt out a curse, "You motherfucker..."
The other party was helpless and could only hang up the phone.
Immediately, Chairman Dai called the staff member who had contacted him earlier, saying that it was an accident, a misoperation, and asked if the money could be returned.
He was refused.
Chairman Dai settled for the next best thing, thinking of returning nine-tenths, eight-tenths... or half?
All were refused.
"When the hell did I donate! How come I didn't know I was so kind and benevolent?" Chairman Dai paced around the room, stomping his feet in anger, saying every curse word he could think of.
He decided to go to the bank immediately to demand an explanation!
However, the bank provided Chairman Dai with a series of irrefutable evidence.
The verification code, facial recognition, and fingerprints were all operated by him personally, no mistake.
No matter how Chairman Dai insisted he didn't do it, evidence is evidence.
He couldn't produce evidence to prove that he didn't do it.
The moment he was "escorted out" of the bank, Chairman Dai was in utter despair.
But soon, hope rekindled, "Perhaps, I can raise the transaction price to make up for the part I lost, and then swallow all the goods!"
"That's right! Feasible!"
Thinking of this, Chairman Dai rushed back to the hotel, quickly tidied himself up, adjusted his mindset, and decided to go upstairs to find Chen Ming to quickly negotiate and finalize the matter.
Ding dong! Ding dong! Ding dong!
The moment he heard the doorbell, Chen Ming knew without thinking who had come and what he wanted to do.
Opening the door, looking at the slightly out of breath Chairman Dai, Chen Ming held a glass of red wine and asked with a smile, "Why are you here again?"
"Mr. Chen, I'm here to tell you that a new buyer has appeared for that batch of goods. If you don't decide soon, this sure-profit business will be snatched away by someone else," Chairman Dai said, feigning urgency.
Little did he know, he had accidentally stated the truth.
There was indeed a new "buyer" eyeing that batch of goods.
"If that's the case, you can rest assured..."
Hearing the first half of the sentence, Chairman Dai showed excitement, thinking Mr. Chen had considered it and decided to invest.
Who would have thought that the second half of the sentence immediately made Chairman Dai's heart turn to ashes, "I have already contacted those foreigners and bought all the goods on the entire cargo ship."
"..." Chairman Dai.
He was stunned for a full three or four seconds before he reacted, asking with a forced smile, "Mr. Chen, isn't what you're doing a bit inappropriate?"
"What's inappropriate? Is it not natural to trade with money?" Chen Ming retorted.
"But I introduced this business to you. You bypassed me and went to cooperate with them directly. Isn't that damaging my interests? As a businessman, doing this is truly damaging your reputation!" Chairman Dai said righteously.
"Since that's the case, how much money do you have? I can just sell you the portion of the goods you deserve," Chen Ming said.
"..." This should have been good news for Chairman Dai, but he couldn't take out a single penny now.
'Should I ask my elder brother for help?'
Amidst his extreme difficulty, Chairman Dai suddenly noticed the expression on Chen Ming's face, which seemed to be watching a joke.
"Wait! Could the transfer of my deposit have something to do with you?" Besides this, Chairman Dai couldn't think of anyone else who could do such a thing.
"I don't understand what you're saying. Since you can't produce the money, it's getting late, and I need to rest. Goodbye."
Before Chairman Dai could react, Chen Ming had already closed the door.
Bang!
"Hey!" Chairman Dai, who had been given the cold shoulder, clenched his fists, and the fire of anger in his heart burned fiercely.
"That guy is proficient in hacking technology, or he has super hackers working for him. He knew I wanted to trick him, so he made a move first! It must be!"
On the way back, Chairman Dai was absolutely certain of this idea.
Or rather, he hoped it was the case.
Otherwise, having lost hundreds of millions, no, it should be tens or even hundreds of billions in inventory income for nothing, Chairman Dai didn't know who to seek revenge from.
He decided to make an example of Chen Ming.
Afterward, Chairman Dai begged and pleaded with his elder brother and borrowed one million from him.
Chairman Dai had his own channels and decided to use this million to find two killers to take care of Chen Ming.
"Since you won't let me have an easy time, don't expect to have one either. Is it great to have money and people? Whose heart isn't made of flesh! I want to see how many knives and bullets you can withstand!"
With that, Chairman Dai confirmed sending the bounty post.
This wasn't the first time he had done something like this, using professional killers to eliminate enemies.
Two A-Rank killers, fifty thousand each after the deed is done.
Seeing the mission instantly claimed, Chairman Dai sat on the sofa, opened a bottle of champagne, and celebrated in advance.
All he needed to do next was wait for good news from the killers.
Chairman Dai specifically added a condition to the bounty order: Chen Ming must be dismembered!
At this point, his mind was basically not normal, and his smile was full of madness.
He drank glass after glass of champagne.
Feeling it wasn't enough and the alcohol content was too low, he opened a bottle of Russian vodka.
After dealing with Chen Ming, Chairman Dai didn't want to live anymore either.
He might as well drink more to build up his courage.
He looked towards the balcony, "Jumping from there, there shouldn't be any possibility of surviving, right?"
His eyes showed no fear, but rather excitement.
He had nothing left to lose.
Ten minutes later.
The two A-Rank killers met at the hotel and went to Chen Ming's room. After confirming it was the correct room, they decided to impersonate service staff to trick Chen Ming into opening the door.
Then they would rush into the room, drug Chen Ming, and then quickly finish him off with a knife, silently.
Just as they were about to make their move, Chen Ming's voice came from inside the room, "The door isn't locked."
"..." The two killers looked at each other, completely bewildered.
They thought Chen Ming had mistaken them for room service.
Without hesitation, the two opened the door, strode inside, and decisively drew their daggers.
