Chapter 41 Righteousness
The three of them soon arrived at a China Construction Bank, and Xu Chen lined up at the counter to withdraw exactly 40,000 yuan.
Then he took four envelopes from the bar in the bank lobby and packed them up one by one.
Li Rui and Fang Tao looked cautious, like two personal bodyguards, protecting Xu Chen.
Xu Chen smiled and said nothing.
In 2006, the security situation in the small county was indeed not that good.
Robbery on the street also happens occasionally.
Three high school students with a huge sum of 40,000 yuan are still a little stressed.
Li Rui and Fang Tao remained silent, looking at Brother Chen with strange eyes.
Although they knew that Xu Chen was coming to withdraw money, the two of them were still a little shocked when they saw him actually withdrawing 40,000 in cash.
After all, they were just two poor kids in their mid-teens and eighteen. How had they ever seen so much money...
At the same time, they were also sighing in their hearts.
Brother Chen, you are really loyal...
For these mixed brothers.
Honesty may be more important than anything else.
Xu Chen stuffed 40,000 yuan into his large jacket and said:
"Wait here for a moment."
Li Rui was stunned: "What are you waiting for?"
Xu Chen: "With just the three of us holding 40,000 in cash, I really don't dare to go out on the street casually."
It's not that Xu Chen is too cautious.
After all, this is a small county town. After all, this is the 2000s, and there are not many cameras on the streets.
At this moment, a pretty figure walked in:
"Let's go!"
The person who came was none other than police officer Chen Xinlan.
She was not wearing a uniform today, but a short jacket with a tight waist, a pair of slim jeans, and a high ponytail.
Chen Xinlan changed into casual clothes and instantly became fresh and pretty.
Li Rui and Fang Tao were stunned for a moment, and then they recognized the other as the female police officer they had seen that day. They quickly stood up and stood at attention, with formal expressions on their faces.
Xu Chen greeted him:
"Officer Chen, thank you for coming."
Chen Xinlan smiled: "Sorry for wearing casual clothes. I happened to be on vacation today and didn't have time to change clothes."
Xu Chen: "I'm really sorry for delaying Officer Chen's rest."
Chen Xinlan: "It's okay. As police officers, we don't have holidays in the first place.
Have you withdrawn the money? ”
Xu Chen smiled and patted himself.
Chen Xinlan smiled:
"It's a bit unexpected that you, a senior high school student, can immediately come up with tens of thousands of dollars."
Xu Chen explained slightly seriously:
"I called my dad to ask for it. My dad has always trusted me in this regard."
The money naturally belonged to Xu Chen. The reason why he said he asked for it from his family was to dispel Chen Xinlan's suspicions and concerns.
And the matter of earning 150,000 yuan through advertising solicitation is too complicated to explain, and I am too lazy to add details.
Chen Xinlan mentioned the money seemingly casually, but of course he did it intentionally. It was also out of a professional habit.
A high school student casually took out tens of thousands of dollars, but there was still something weird and sinister hidden in it, and he was worried that it was coming from a shady source.
Fortunately, during the last department store case inquiry, Xu Chen had registered his family information.
Chen Xinlan also knew that his family owned a factory and the conditions should be pretty good.
Xu Chen now said that he asked for it from his family, so she no longer doubted it...
Chen Xinlan nodded: "Let's go!"
With that said, Chen Xinlan and Xu Chen walked out.
Li Rui and Fang Tao looked at each other, confused, but they both breathed a sigh of relief.
Brother Chen was still thoughtful.
Having a police officer following me really made me feel more at ease and safer.
The two of them couldn't help but sigh in their hearts. Brother Chen was really calm and decisive in doing things, without leaking anything, and he was prepared for everything. ……
……
A secret alley with hair and foot washing rooms on both sides.
There were elder sisters and younger aunts who came out to solicit business. When they saw that they were three students, their originally smiling faces were instantly disappointed.
When he recognized Chen Xinlan who was following him, he looked horrified again and hurriedly hid in the room, quickly turned off the pink light and closed the rolling shutter door.
In front of a two-story townhouse, several people stopped.
There is a glass door on the second floor, and there is a simple signboard with black characters on a white background:
"Zhiyong Finance".
Li Rui raised his finger and pointed: "This is it."
Xu Chen turned his head and looked at Chen Xinlan.
Chen Xinlan nodded: "This is the same company I'm talking about.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
I'll take you up there. They won't dare do anything while I'm here. ”
With that said, Chen Xinlan walked towards the stairs first.
Xu Chen, Li Rui, and Fang Tao also quickly followed.
Xu Chen thought for a while, took out his Nokia N70 from his pocket, and silently turned on the recording.
It’s better to record a voice secretly to be prepared.
……
As soon as I arrived at the door of "Zhiyong Finance", I smelled a strong smell of tobacco.
The room was dimly lit, filled with smoke, and cigarette butts were everywhere.
On a tattered sofa, four or five sturdy men were playing cards together. There were a few beer bottles thrown on the ground, making a lot of noise.
Chen Xinlan raised her hand and knocked lightly on the glass door.
"Who is it?" A rude and rude voice came helplessly.
The noise of playing cards stopped, and a stout man turned his head and looked towards the door.
He took a puff of cigarette, stood up and smiled with a smile on his face:
"Hey~ Isn't this Officer Chen! Please come in quickly!"
With that said, the stout man stepped forward, nodded and bowed to let Chen Xinlan in.
The four or five sturdy young men on the sofa also quickly stood up, calling "Officer Chen" in their mouths, turned around and went to the back room obediently.
Chen Xinlan walked to the sofa and sat down carelessly.
Xu Chen and others followed behind and entered the room full of smoke.
Li Rui and Fang Tao looked at each other and exchanged glances.
They couldn't help but think to themselves, luckily Xu Chen called Officer Chen.
With Officer Chen here, it obviously saved a lot of trouble.
If she wasn't here, there might be other big troubles...
The sturdy man was smiling all over his face and was busy pouring a cup of tea for Chen Xinlan.
"Zhang Zhiyong, you haven't hit anyone recently to collect collection, right?"
The sturdy man in his thirties in front of him is the apparent boss of Zhiyong Finance, named Zhang Zhiyong.
The reason why we say "boss on the surface" is because those who can do this kind of business often have complicated backgrounds...
"Officer Chen, what are you talking about!
I have always been disciplined and law-abiding, not to mention that you just criticized and educated me last month and wrote a review to you! ”
He turned his head and looked at Xu Chen and the others, with some doubts on his face.
"Officer Chen, why are you here today?"
Chen Xinlan: "It's not my business. There are high school students in my district who owe you money. They come to clear the debt.
I stopped by to take a look, so I don't want to be bullied by you. ”
Zhang Zhiyong smiled awkwardly:
"What did Officer Chen say?
How could I, a law-abiding commoner, bully a few children? ”
He turned to look at Xu Chen and others again, with doubts on his face:
"I don't remember lending you money!"
Xu Chen said: "It's Xie Bingran's debt."
