1153 Do Not Be Nosy

Xia Wen had no other choice now. Other than working with He Ning, he really could not think of another way out. If He Ning was willing to help him, this difficult situation could be easily resolved and he might even be able to find the real culprit sooner.

Xia Wen was certain that he would be meeting the mastermind tomorrow.

“Are you sure you want to negotiate with me behind your father’s back? As far as I know, your family is already investigating this matter. With both your Eldest Aunt and your father working on it, they will get results in less than a week. Why are you asking for trouble by coming to me?” He Ning said.

Xia Xiu was a very famous interrogator in the military and could extract information from anyone. She had all kinds of methods to interrogate people. In addition, everyone knew how capable Xia Mao was. The two of them formed an invincible team when they worked together.

Xia Wen also knew that the Xia family would definitely survive this crisis, but Tan Jing did not have much time left. He could not bear to see Tan Jing continue to be tortured but he knew that there was no way that Xia Mao and Xia Xiu would risk everything just to save Tan Jing.

What Tan Jing did earlier had hurt all his family members. He was too ashamed to ask his family for help.

“I guess you’re not telling me the truth,” He Ning said.

“Just give me 500,000 dollars. I don’t need your help with the rest. You can quote whatever interest rate you want,” Xia Wen said stubbornly.

He Ning could not dissuade Xia Wen, so he could only ask Huo Gao to go to the bank to withdraw 500,000 dollars. In fact, he had set aside this sum of money to return to Qiao Mei. He did not expect to be giving it to Xia Wen after so many twists and turns.

“Take it. We’ll talk about the interest rate after you settle this matter. I’m not in a hurry,” He Ning said nonchalantly.

Xia Wen asked earnestly, “You should let me know now. I’m worried that I’ll fall into a trap later. At that time, who knows what you will come up with.”

“Do you think I’m going to behave like a loan shark in front of you? If I do that, you’ll be able to arrest me. You’re now a government official in charge of the economy. Everyone who does business in the capital wants to curry favor with you. My family has to make a living in the capital too. There are so many people whom the He family is responsible for. Why should I make things difficult for you for nothing?” He Ning said as he rolled his eyes helplessly.

Xia Wen took the case and left without looking back. Huo Gao looked at Xia Wen’s back and sighed. He wondered if Xia Wen would be able to come back alive.

“Are we really not going to help him?” Huo Gao asked, unable to bear the thought.

“Not helping. I’m not an immortal who’s here to deliver all living beings from suffering. Do I have to help with everything? He only wants to give me interest and not ginseng. It’s already good enough for him that I agree to lend him the money. You don’t have to be overly sympathetic,” He Ning said.

Huo Gao pursed his lips. He should not have asked He Ning such a question. It was not as if he did not know that He Ning was a mercenary person.

“Then do you have any clues? Who do you think is doing all this?” Huo Gao asked curiously.

He Ning did not know who exactly the person was, but he knew that if He Guo was not in prison, He Guo would definitely know that person. He Ning ran the legitimate part of the business while He Guo was the one familiar with the illegitimate business dealings.

“Stop disturbing me. I want to sleep,” He Ning said impatiently.

Xia Wen took the money and returned to the office. He just sat there quietly and looked at the case full of money. If he did not make it back this time, what would happen to Xia Mao and Xu Lan? What would happen to Xia He? Xia Zhe had not returned yet. He did not know if he would get a chance to see Xia Zhe when he returned.

Suddenly, the phone rang. Xia Wen quickly picked it up and said, “h.e.l.lo? Is that you?”

“How sharp of you! I guess the money is ready?” Lu Miao said with a laugh.

“So what if it is.” Just as Xia Wen had guessed, Lu Miao must have planted a spy near him. His every move was made under Lu Miao’s watchful eye. Even if he went to the toilet now, Lu Miao would know about it.

He did not know if it was just him being put under surveillance or the entire Xia family.

“Bring the money to the small forest in the western suburbs tomorrow. Just follow the path up. You’ve been in the army before, so your observation skills should be quite good. We’ll put markings in the forest. If you can’t find Tan Jing, you can only blame yourself for being useless.” After saying that, Lu Miao hung up the phone without giving Xia Wen a chance to ask any question.
