"Manager Ma takes the biggest risk, yet he only gets a fraction. If it were me, I'd feel it was unfair too. What's so surprising about that?"
Lu Zhao snorted, "What does his risk matter? Without our technical skills, he wouldn't be able to transfer the funds even if he caught the person."
Su Yang chuckled, "Ma Biao, if it were me, I'd rather not take that little money than cooperate with these people. Do you really think it's acceptable for them to get eight hundred billion while you only get a fraction?"
Ma Biao felt dizzy, a mix of unwillingness and anger. With Su Yang constantly fanning the flames, he was almost ready to give up.
Seeing Ma Biao's unfocused gaze, Lu Zhao gritted his teeth and said, "Old Ma, don't listen to his nonsense! How about this, you take one hundred billion, and we'll split the rest. This is my bottom line!"
Ma Biao thought about it. A hundred billion was still a considerable sum, and with Amy thrown in, it was a win-win in terms of both wealth and beauty.
"Alright, let's begin then!"
Seeing that the two sides had reconciled, Su Yang sighed inwardly, regretting that they hadn't fought.
Ma Biao grabbed a fruit knife and held it to Su Yang's neck.
"Kid, cooperate with us properly later, and I might consider letting you live!"
Consider?
Playing word games?
Su Yang sneered inwardly. Ma Biao and Lu Zhao wouldn't let anyone go after doing something like this.
However, he still had to play along.
"Thank you for your mercy, Manager Ma. I will cooperate fully with your work."
"Good, you know what's good for you!"
Ma Biao was pleased with Su Yang's attitude and nodded at Lu Zhao.
Lu Zhao signaled his subordinates to get to work, and they began typing furiously on their keyboards.
The room filled with the rapid clicking of keys.
A few minutes later, everyone except Su Yang and Amy put on headphones and sat up straight.
The most crucial step had arrived.
Lu Zhao clicked the "confirm" button, transferring one hundred billion from one bank card to another.
"Beep, beep, beep..."
"As expected, the bank's customer service is calling!"
Lu Zhao calmly answered the call. The customer service representative on the other end was a woman.
"May I speak with Mr. Su Yang? This is Yalian Bank, I am customer service representative number 006, Xu Xiaorui."
After hearing the information, Lu Zhao handed the phone to Su Yang.
Su Yang said calmly, "Yes, it's me, Su Yang."
"Hello, Mr. Su. Are you the one transferring one hundred billion in savings deposits?"
"Yes."
"Alright, given that your company has many subsidiaries, Yalian Bank would like to confirm. We hope you don't mind. Please wait three minutes, and we will transfer it to your designated bank card."
Xu Xiaorui typed on her keyboard, the rapid clicks filling the air as both sides waited patiently.
A few minutes later.
Lu Zhao's phone received a message from a mysterious person, stating that one hundred billion had been successfully deposited.
Lu Zhao, tasting success, was overjoyed. He had earned a hundred billion in a matter of minutes, money they could never earn in a lifetime of hard work.
"Continue!"
Lu Zhao whispered. Su Yang spoke into the microphone again, "Hello, Xiaorui. I need to invest a large amount of funds. Please help me transfer the remaining money to the previous bank card."
"Mr. Su, you still have one hundred and twenty billion in savings deposits at Yalian Bank. Would you like to transfer it all at once?"
Su Yang could hear the seriousness in Xu Xiaorui's tone, but she didn't transfer the funds immediately.
"Yes."
"Mr. Su, please wait a moment. I will seek instructions from the branch manager!"
Xu Xiaorui hung up the phone directly. Such a large sum was beyond her authority.
Lu Zhao remained silent. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation.
But Ma Biao didn't understand. He just wanted to get the money and leave with Amy.
"Old Lu, has the bank discovered something is wrong, and they're not going to continue the transfer?"
Lu Zhao shook his head. "It's probably the bank's protective measures for their client's assets. Let's wait. The client is right here, so we have plenty of time."
Ma Biao nodded. He calculated the time; they were already overseas.
Even if the bank discovered something, they wouldn't have the authority to arrest them by tracing the IP address.
With this realization, Ma Biao stopped urging them and leisurely sipped his tea while waiting.
Amy, beside him, softly called out, "Mr. Su. Are you really going to cooperate with them to transfer the money?"
"What else can we do? What else can we do?"
Amy was speechless. Both of them had their hands tied, unable to escape.
Seeing her silence, Su Yang knew this woman was simple-minded and easily deceived. It would be fun to tease her when he was bored.
...
About fifteen minutes later.
Ma Biao couldn't sit still. He was restless, and his tea tasted bland.
"Old Lu, what's going on?"
Lu Zhao frowned. He couldn't figure it out either, especially since the amount was so large, and he didn't understand the bank's rules.
"Let's wait a bit longer. Have some tea!"
Lu Zhao swirled the tea in his cup, his heart filled with unease and a sense of foreboding.
He looked at Su Yang, who was playfully chatting with Amy, and inexplicably felt that this kid was too calm, too abnormal.
This was not at all like someone who had been kidnapped; it was more like being back in his own home.
Lu Zhao put down his teacup. "Kid, are you up to something?"
Su Yang turned his head and retorted, "Up to what? My hands are tied by you. What can I do?"
"What's going on with the bank? Why haven't they called or transferred the money yet?"
"I don't know either. I've cooperated with you as much as I can."
Lu Zhao's brow furrowed even tighter. He really wanted to beat Su Yang up, but he couldn't risk it with the money not fully secured.
Just then, a phone on the table rang.
Seeing the familiar number, Lu Zhao was ecstatic. He quickly answered and brought the phone to Su Yang's lips.
"Hello, Mr. Su. I am Dong Yongsheng, the branch manager of Yalian Bank's Songhai branch. It's a pleasure to serve you."
"Hello, Manager Dong. I am Su Yang. I'll trouble you with the transfer. I need to invest in some businesses."
"May I ask what kind of business you plan to invest in, Mr. Su?" Dong Yongsheng continued, "I have some knowledge of investments myself, and I was hoping to benefit from your endeavors."
Su Yang understood immediately. Dong Yongsheng was trying to pry for information about his current situation.
"I want to invest in the fishing industry in Songhai overseas, purchasing fishing boats and the like. It requires a large amount of capital. If you wish to invest, I will need to ask my partners if they agree."
After speaking, Su Yang winked at Ma Biao and Lu Zhao.
They exchanged glances, utterly bewildered.
"Alright, I will hang up now and contact you again later."
Dong Yongsheng's tone became somewhat somber, and he hastily hung up the phone.
Lu Zhao was furious. "Kid, what are you doing? It's clearly a transfer, so why is a branch manager talking about investments?"
Su Yang smiled, "He's the branch manager, so he has the authority to access funds. If it were you, would you pass up an opportunity for immense wealth?"
Lu Zhao's brow furrowed. He knew the authority of each branch manager.
Basically, every branch manager would proactively seek investments or lend money to earn interest.
Su Yang was wealthy, so he must have his own business acumen.
Thinking this way, it wasn't unusual for a branch manager to want to invest.
Seeing Lu Zhao's silence, Su Yang gently persuaded, "Think about it. Wouldn't that branch manager have to put down a large sum of money to invest? Isn't this just free money?"
