Chapter 137 Fortune Lost, Disaster Averted

Wu Guo Zheng knew very well that there was a way to get money.

Just like a mission assigned by the higher-ups, if the amount was five hundred, he had to set it at a thousand for those below him. Otherwise, the completion rate of the mission would not be high.

Furthermore, besides needing money to deal with those fierce ghosts, didn't he also need to pave his own way in the human world? The ghosts in the human world were even more troublesome than the invisible ones.

This time, if Zhao Hui hadn't softened his heart for a moment, he would never have asked for two million less.

Besides, he had long heard that Jia Shu Qing had been making a fortune over the years, becoming a ridiculously wealthy individual. If he didn't make her bleed now, when would he?

Although Jia Shu Qing was furious, the words Wu Guo Zheng conveyed to her were taken very seriously.

The Investigation Bureau was indeed cracking down tightly. If she didn't quickly use money to settle things, trouble would truly arise over time.

Before doing any of these things, Jia Shu Qing habitually prayed to the God of Wealth. How good it would be if the God of Wealth could help her through this ordeal!

Jia Shu Qing respectfully offered incense and made her wishes.

The visitor, who knew she would do this, had already prepared his speech.

"Sorrow dispelled by money!"

"How much this time?"

Jia Shu Qing couldn't believe she had uttered such words. Was it really okay to ask so directly?

But the visitor disliked beating around the bush. Asking directly would bring her closer to him faster.

"One million!"

The visitor was very direct. This was much less than what Wu Guo Zheng had asked for.

"What?" Jia Shu Qing was still shocked.

First Wu Guo Zheng demanding money, and now the God of Wealth demanding money. All in all, she would have to fork out nearly ten million.

Although she had accumulated some wealth over the years, ten million was her entire fortune.

If she refused the God of Wealth, he was a celestial being, and she couldn't afford to offend him. As for Wu Guo Zheng, she definitely couldn't refuse him, because the current situation had reached its most critical juncture, and without money, she wouldn't be able to get through this hurdle.

The visitor said nothing. What he wanted was for her to lose everything and be driven to desperation.

Whether she enjoyed it or suffered, he didn't care.

Once she was targeted by him, her life in this world was over.

"Alright, alright, I'll go and do it now!"

Although Jia Shu Qing was extremely reluctant, she dared not show any dissatisfaction and respectfully went to raise the money.

She had five to six million in cash at home. If it were in the past, selling off some assets would not have made it difficult to raise nine million.

However, the market had been unfavorable recently, and no one was willing to buy her high-value assets. To raise the money, Jia Shu Qing had to network extensively and learned about the Shen Feng Credit line.

Mortgage loan, three million arrived in ten minutes!

...

Bai Su Xiang, who was in her office, received a call from Wang Gui Hua early in the morning.

Because the matter was of great importance, she had to go. Fortunately, her work hours were relatively flexible now.

As long as there were no particularly urgent matters, Fu Ru Hai did not restrict her from working in the office.

Bai Su Xiang took a taxi directly to the entrance of the "Wonderful Cake Shop." Wang Gui Hua seemed to be waiting for her and came out to greet her as soon as she saw the car.

This time, she didn't lead her into the shop but took her to another place, an alley about 100 meters away from the "Wonderful Cake Shop."

Facing Bai Su Xiang's confusion, Wang Gui Hua simply said, "You'll know when we get there!"

This was an inconspicuous small courtyard. Although dilapidated, it was meticulously tidied up. It was evident that the owner was extremely precise.

As soon as she entered, Bai Su Xiang recognized Jia Zheng Qing, who was sitting in the center.

The reason she recognized him was mainly because Jia Zheng Qing was too dark-skinned, and his expressionless face made him look like a "black-faced Bao Gong" (a judge known for his impartiality).

"You're here, come quickly, organize the materials you've prepared, and also organize a few more."

Jia Zheng Qing was not polite at all. Because the matter was urgent, he had to organize the documents as quickly as possible, otherwise, the situation might change after this period.

Currently, besides preserving evidence and perfecting the materials, time was of the utmost importance.

Bai Su Xiang understood and sat directly at his desk.

Those arranged to be here were people who were directly confronting Jia Shu Qing and were being maliciously targeted. Besides Wang Gui Hua, there were Wu Dao Ning and a few other families.

The main reason Jia Zheng Qing did this was to unite everyone and prevent anyone from choosing silence due to the overwhelming power behind Jia Shu Qing.

"Director Jia, do you think we can win against her this time?"

Jia Zheng Qing didn't speak, but he knew in his heart that everyone would ask this.

"Yes, yes, if we can't clear her out, let's not bother, otherwise..."

"What are you saying? With so many materials here, she can't escape even with wings!"

Bai Su Xiang quickly interrupted their speculation.

At this time, speaking such words would clearly affect morale. If the determination to fight against evil forces wavered, it would be fatal.

Jia Zheng Qing was surprised by Bai Su Xiang's words and couldn't help but admire her. This girl, just graduated from college, had such courage and mettle; she was truly remarkable.

"You, what do you know? You're just a young girl, do you know how complex society is?"

Someone complained to Bai Su Xiang.

It was understandable. A young woman in her twenties, not even a formal member of the Investigation Bureau, but merely hired by Wang Gui Hua's family to help. To put it bluntly, if this matter succeeded, it would be fine, but if it failed, she would just pack up and leave. As for the people doing business here, who could escape unscathed?

Jia Zheng Qing certainly knew that everyone was not convinced by Bai Su Xiang. The first reason was her age, and the second was her qualifications.

"Alright, alright, I'll say it today: 'As long as we work together, there's nothing we can't accomplish!' Look at how many people have come and how many instances of bullying there are.

This shows that the situation has reached a point where it must be dealt with! Rest assured, I believe the authorities will give everyone an explanation!"

Due to the nature of his work, some things couldn't be said too definitively, and some matters couldn't be stated too absolutely.

Therefore, Jia Zheng Qing could only convey the official stance.

"Look, Director Jia has already made his statement, so can it be fake?"

"Isn't Director Jia's surname Fake?"

Someone said this, and a moment of silence fell in the room, followed by bursts of laughter.

"Hahaha! You've got a good one!"

Jia Zheng Qing's ashen black face couldn't help but smile.

In this world, what is real cannot be faked, and what is fake cannot be real.

"Alright, alright, hurry up and organize the materials! When the day of victory comes, you'll know whether it's fake or not!"
