Chapter 230: The Death of Two Girls

Inside the Memory World…

In the car, Tang Dafa looked out of the car window as his face slowly revealed a proud look. He admired himself because this scheme of his to secretly take Su Yang down using a real scenario was a stroke of genius. Anyone who investigated this matter could not find any problem and would think that he was deliberately trying to please Su Yang by sending money to him.

After all, the movie was real, the risk was small and the high reward was also realistic. Everything was as he said but the only problem was the settlement cycle of the movie.

Netbig’s billing cycle was as long as half a year, and sometimes payments would be pending for more than a year.

This meant that Su Yang would’ve been drained of at least 1.5 million in cash flow for those six months. For Su Yang to lack so much cash all at once would surely strain the companies he was involved in financially.

It was then that he would then ask for the early recovery of Su Yang’s loans…

“Hehehehe.” Convinced by his plan, Tang Dafa laughed in the car.

After listening to Tang Dafa’s “voice”, Su Yang’s heart turned cold. ‘Did Tang Dafa intend to harm me?

‘You’re trying to get me to run out of money and collect on your loan!

‘However… Even if Tang Dafa wanted to harm me, our IOU was clear and there were no irregularities, so how could he ask for the loan back in advance?’

Thinking of this, Su Yang hurriedly flipped Tang Dafa’s memories forward, intending to see if he had other plans. Soon… He found a chat between Mr. Jia and Tang Dafa.

Mr. Jia said. “Mr. Tang, our company has studied all this information of yours and found the loopholes.”

Mr. Jia put a page of materials on the table and then stretched out his hand. “Your IOU with Su Yang was a personal loan, but he transferred the loan to the company.”

“Based on your IOUs, there was no mention that you were aware that he would use the money for the development of the company. Normally, this isn’t illegal and doesn’t affect your lending relationship. After all, you didn’t stipulate a specific use.”

“But!” Mr. Jia tapped the information on his desk and continued, “He is a company whose profitability is far from being sufficient to pay the two million. The company is also growing too fast and has a great operational risk from accepting dozens of employees from Junqing. He also has no house, no car, no savings, and no ability to repay himself, so his solvency has changed significantly.

“You have the right to seek early recovery of the loan after you became aware of this.

“Likewise have the right to ask the court to temporarily freeze the account of Qidian E-Commerce to avoid further losses to you.”

Hearing Mr. Jia’s analysis, Su Yang’s heart was shocked. What worried him, even more, was Tang Dafa’s “inner voice”.

In Tang Dafa’s inner voice, he was able to recover the loan through this loophole but did not have much confidence in its success.

However, Tang Dafa felt that as long as there was a dispute between both sides, that was enough! After all, he doesn’t need to win the lawsuit. He just wanted to freeze Su Yang’s assets, freeze Junqing’s accounts, and keep on using his connections to drag it out. Eventually, Su Yang’s company will naturally collapse, and he’ll have nothing left…

That’s what big companies often do to small companies, they drag you down to your death…

Su Yang frowned, feeling that this tactic was indeed a bit toxic.

‘However… I have no grudge against him, why would he want to harm me? And a few days ago, we were building quite a healthy relationship. How is it possible in this small amount of time for him to suddenly make a 180-degree change?

‘There must be a deeper reason for this!’

Time was a bit tight so Su Yang couldn’t care less about it, and he could only speed forward to look up Tang Dafa’s memories. Soon, he saw Tang Dafa chatting with Young Master Ying and Young Master Li.

“Drag him down. That way, we’ll have something to offer when we meet him to seek his help.”

“If he is holding on to Jiang Yan’s secret, destroy him. Let him disappear forever with his secret.”

“I don’t care about you. I’m not the one looking for you, it’s Brother Ying that’s looking for you. He wants you to go to his place. Are you going or not?”

“Right, Young Master Chen, I’ve recently acquired two nice toys, I’ll send them to you in the next few days, okay?”

‘Young Master Ying? Young Master Chen?’

Suddenly, several unfamiliar characters appeared in front of Su Yang, causing him to be a bit overwhelmed. ‘Who were these people?’

As Su Yang was trying to remember this information, the time was up, the flashbacks stopped and began spinning. The last image that stayed in front of Su Yang was Tang Dafa taking out a piece of paper from the drawer and saying to his good-looking assistant, “The two college students you said owed us money before. Arrange for them to be cleaned up and go to this address.”

Su Yang started to spin out from the memory space, but at the last moment, he stretched his neck to look at the paper, and all he saw was the word “Wanlong.”

Back in the real world, Su Yang’s movement remained at the moment when the hourglass was placed on the table.

Tang Dafa took one look at the hourglass, smiled, and said, “Little Brother Su, do you like this kind of gadget? Why don’t you wait for me to get you some?”

Su Yang didn’t know why but he felt disgusted when he heard Tang Dafa say “gadgets” and “get a few.”

As it turned out. “ordinary people” were no different from other things and were just “stuff” that these upper-class people play with.

When he recalled the way Tang Dafa arranged for the two college girls, Su Yang couldn’t help but feel disgusted.

Su Yang has always been a free spontaneous person, if he couldn’t eat, he wouldn’t eat. He immediately stood up and said to Tang Dafa with an expressionless face, “I’m suddenly a bit uncomfortable, I’ll leave first.”

Tang Dafa was completely unaware of what was happening and pretended to be concerned, “Brother Su, are you alright?”

Su Yang looked at him with an indifferent face. “Just a little disgusted.”

After saying his piece, he turned around without hesitation and walked away.

Looking at Su Yang’s back, Tang Dafa’s frown grew deeper and deeper. He didn’t know what happened. He was very nice to him a moment ago so why did he suddenly turn his back on him?

Did he see through his plan?

‘It can’t be… I haven’t exposed anything!’

Tang Dafa was so angry that he drank all the red wine in the goblet in one go. ‘Cheers! This guy’s a tough nut to crack! It’s been over a week and no progress at all!

‘Since attacking in the dark doesn’t work, let’s try attacking him head-on!’

No matter what, he’s got Young Master Chen and Young Master Ying backing him!

…

Out of the restaurant, Su Yang walked on the road. June in Shanghai was slowly getting hotter. Even when the night wind blew on people, it didn’t feel cold but instead, felt a little hot. Su Yang’s heart was full of anger, and that anger came from Tang Dafa and himself as well.

Because of Hourglass’s preconceived “judgment”, he trusted Tang Dafa. In the end, he didn’t expect that the trust would lead to betrayal! No, calling it betrayal was an understatement. After all, Tang Dafa was never “loyal” to him.

He must have been fooled!

In addition to being angry that he was made a fool of, Su Yang also couldn’t accept Tang Dafa and the others and their superior attitude towards ordinary people.

‘Two college students, just a “thing” to them? Cleaned up and sending it over?

‘How is that so much like the wording used in your own village to discuss a pig kept in a pen!

‘As long as you have power and money, can you treat ordinary people like dogs and pigs?’

Su Yang was now incomparably regretful, not that he regretted knowing Tang Dafa, but regretted that he should have just lifted the table and beat that guy up!

‘These guys are animals!’

Just as Su Yang was burning with anger, Little Deeny’s voice sounded in his ears, “Master, there’s something very serious, I feel like… You better take a look.”

Su Yang asked, “What is it?”

Deeny replied, “Xu Lu posted something on her profile.”

‘Xu Lu posted something on her profile? What do you mean?’

Su Yang Brought Little Deeny out and opened his WeChat, the first thing he saw was Xu Lu’s post — [Just received the sad news of Wang Shan, a little unbelievable. May there be no accidents in heaven.]

Su Yang’s head buzzed. ‘She’s dead?

‘That’s so sudden

‘The girl we were looking for yesterday is suddenly dead?’

Su Yang hesitated and dialed for Xu Lu. No matter what, he had helped to look for her yesterday, and now that he knew about it, it was reasonable that he asked about it.

The phone connected and Xu Lu was weeping on the other end, her voice was trembling as she greeted, “Hello?”

Su Yang asked with concern, “Senior sister. Are you okay?”

It was after some time before Xu Lu could speak normally. Even then, her voice seemed like it was glued together and blurred, “I’m… I’m fine.”

Su Yang was silent for a while and consoled her, “I’m sorry.”

Xu Lu cried even louder, but covered her mouth and let out muffled sobs instead.

After listening to Xu Lu cry on the other end of the phone for a while, Su Yang sighed, regretting making this call.

At this moment, Xu Lu spoke, “Su Yang, can you, can you help me and Wang Shan?”

Su Yang asked, “What do you guys need help with?”

Xu Lu choked. “There’s something going on here… Wang Shan definitely didn’t die accidentally! Have you ever seen an accident where two girls fall into the water at the same time! That villa area of Longteng Jiayuan has security guards patrolling every day, so how could it have been two days before their bodies were found?!”

Su Yang’s head was buzzing. ‘Two girls? Longteng Jiayuan?’

Su Yang couldn’t help but remember the last fragment he saw in Tang Dafa’s memory, were the two somehow related?

Su Yang quickly said to Xu Lu, “Senior sister, where are you? I’ll come to you.”

Xu Lu stopped crying. “I’m on the road outside of our college.”

Su Yang said, “Wait for me, I’ll be right there.”

As he said that, Su Yang hung up the phone and took a taxi to Xu Lu’s place.

Arriving near the Art Academy, Su Yang asked the driver to circle the grounds of the Art Academy and finally met Xu Lu who was squatting by the road crying at the west gate. Su Yang quickly paid his bill and got out of the car, then ran to her side. “Senior sister. Are you okay?”

Seeing Su Yang, Xu Lu shed tears while covering her mouth and shaking her head. Su Yang pulled out a pack of tissues from the virtual space on the way, unwrapped it, and handed it to her. She took it and used the tissues to wipe her tears.

Su Yang sat next to her, quietly waiting for her to calm down.

After a while, Xu Lu slowly stopped crying and Su Yang asked, “Senior sister, can you tell me what’s going on?”

“Mm.” Xu Lu nodded with sad eyes as she said, “Shan Shan and I met a year ago, she’s a girl from a third-tier city who came to Shanghai to study. We met because of dance, but the difference was that I studied dance professionally, while she loved to dance.”

“She is a very innocent girl, and her family is not particularly wealthy. However, her parents are very loving and treat her well and call her often. Every time she gets a call from her parents, she smiles like a little girl.”

“She loved to laugh, and when she starts, she just won’t stop laughing. I always tell her she looks like a fool when she laughs. She would reply that she likes to be a fool because a fool was always happy.”
