"Team the group? When did he leave?"

"Just this Monday, it seems that the group that Lao Zhang introduced to him. He said he would go there for a month this time and let Lao Bai take his people around Europe." Hua Ling's voice was filled with regret and fascination, "Hey, if I weren't pregnant, I would have gone with him. I haven't been to many duty-free shops yet, which is a pity..."

It seems that Lao Chen and Lao Zhang have already planned. It is not because they don’t take Hua Ling because they are ruthless, but because they need someone to help them raise money. Thinking of this, Dong Qiangqiang couldn’t help but sigh in his heart. He never expected that Lao Zhang and Lao Chen would be in the same group.

"Then hasn't he called you in the past few days?" Dong Qiangqiang asked again.

"I just called yesterday." There was sweetness in my voice.

"Yesterday?" Dong Qiangqiang said in surprise, "What did he say?"

"I didn't say anything, but said that everything was fine. I also said that when we renovate the house, I would invite you and Lele to come and have Christmas. We just bought a house and are considering how to decorate it. If you still have a place to live in Christmas, you may not have a place to come next year, so the guest room will have to be changed to a baby room." Dong Qiangqiang could feel Hualing's full sense of happiness through the phone.

"Did you buy a house?" Dong Qiangqiang seemed to hear his heart falling into the Rhine with a "thump".

"Yes, I was also very surprised. Lao Bai didn't tell me either. He bought it on his own initiative in early October, and I only found out after I came. This guy was so mean and he was so scared that he was so scared." Although Hua Ling complained, everyone could hear the joy in her heart. After all, who doesn't want the man she married to have the ability? "Think about it now, when Lao Bai and I first met, they were only you and Lele at this age. Things at that time were like yesterday, and it passed in the blink of an eye. Alas, a woman's youth is really too short..."

Hua Ling's words of the past made Dong Qiangqiang feel mixed feelings. He vaguely said a few words and hung up the phone in a hurry.

Just as Dong Qiangqiang was staring at the river in a daze, Du Lan's phone call came unexpectedly.

Dong Qiangqiang briefly described what Lao Chen said to him, and then repeated the message he received from Hua Ling. After saying that, both of them fell into silence.

Looking at the calm water surface, Dong Qiangqiang felt helpless for the first time. He had never been afraid of whether it was facing criminals or ferocious wild boars, but at this moment he felt a bit cold, as if he was soaking in the cold river water.

Finally, Du Lan spoke first: "There is no other way now, so let's call the police first."

"I have no objection to calling the police, but she obviously didn't know about this when I called Hualing just now." Dong Qiangqiang said worriedly, "She is less than 3 months pregnant. I heard that three months are dangerous periods. If you are mentally stimulating, you may have a miscarriage..."

"So you are worried that she will have an abortion because of hearing this news?" Du Lan and Hua Ling had no affection for each other, "Because you don't want to call the police?"

"I don't mean that. Calling the police is definitely correct, but the problem is that the procedure is correct, but will its result be correct? I called the police because I was attacked on the first day I landed in Germany, but there is no explanation until today. Someone went to my house to break into the empty door and I called the police, but it still failed. The international student in Hannover died strangely, but still failed to call the police. Even Lao Chen's incident that night, we called the police. Do you see that the Germans have feedback? Do you know what I am most worried about now? We called the police but in the end we have to rely on ourselves."

"Du Lan retorted, "Are you crazy? Why do you rely on it? He wants 1.6 million, but you haven't even bargained."

"To be precise, he hung up the phone before I could bargain." Dong Qiangqiang explained, "Besides, I don't know how much I should pay. What should I do if I get it low and get it up? What should I do if I can't take it out if it's high?"

"No matter how much you pay (the price) is astronomical. Just where are we going to find so much money? And have you ever thought about it? Even if you raise all the money for him, how can you guarantee that Lao Bai will come back safely?"

"I really can't guarantee Lao Bai's safety, and the police may not be able to do it, no one can. But I know one thing, we may not be able to see people if we give money, but if we don't give money, we will definitely not be able to do so. So whether we call the police or not, we must find a way to raise the money first."

"You said it's easy, 1.6 million!" Du Lan complained, "I don't have it anyway."

"No one lets you bear it alone. In this way, you can take out the money that Lao Bai gave you before. No matter what, it will be 80...600,000 yuan. At least we will collect the capital first. If Lao Chen calls again, I will feel at ease when I bargain." Dong Qiangqiang remembered that Du Lan gave them 50,000 marks as remuneration. He knew that Lao Bai used this money to open a travel agency, and most of the money was still lying in the company account.

"I don't have 600,000." Du Lan said firmly.

Dong Qiangqiang was shocked: "Didn't Lao Bai give you all the money before?"

"I used 300,000 yuan to buy the goods, and 300,000 yuan was lent to Lao Bai to buy a house." Du Lan said angrily, "Do you believe that I have the IOU he wrote for me here."

Dong Qiangqiang thought he could start to raise money on the basis of 600,000 yuan, but he was so happy. Du Lan directly called him aphasia with one sentence. After a while, he murmured, "What goods did you go to buy?"

"German fruit-flavored vitamin ABCDEF effervescent tablets. My cousin called me and told me that this thing is very popular in southern cities and asked me to send more back to China. I prepared 300,000 effervescent tablets. I bought effervescent tablets in supermarkets in Munich. I sent them to China in three times. My cousin had a batch, and two clients introduced by my cousin were one batch. As a result, my cousin paid the payment now. One of the two clients had not paid the bill yet, and the other told me that the goods were detained at the customs and asked me to pay the tax first. But I had just paid the tax before I paid the tax, and the bullshit company told me that I had no money to pay the full payment, so I could only pay 15%. I have been busy with this matter recently and just found a lawyer to prepare for the lawsuit. Don't mention how unlucky it is."

With Dong Qiangqiang's understanding of Du Lan, she is not a stingy person and should not deliberately make up stories to deceive herself, so she asked tentatively: "Then do you have any other money to take it out first to save me?"

"There is definitely no big money. If you can get the others together, you can get 150,000." Du Lan estimated, "But we shouldn't pay for this money, right? Shouldn't the old Bai Hualing pay for some?"

"Of course we don't want to bleed, Lao Bai will definitely have to bleed. But at that time, you took the big head, and it was just right that you vomited it out of emotion and reason." Dong Qiangqiang said bluntly.

"I took it, but I gave Lao Bai 50,000 mark and lent him 300,000. He is the one who has taken the most." Du Lan said aggrievedly, "And have you ever thought about whether our money should be considered to be lent to them? Then there is a problem. If Lao Bai really is, who will repay the money? Hualing?" Du Lan still didn't say the ugly word after all.

Dong Qiangqiang didn't think about the question Du Lan asked, and he sighed: "Hualing has not had any serious jobs for many years. They have spent a lot of money to get married. I'm afraid she has no money even if she told her that she doesn't have money. And I guess none of us can withdraw the money from Lao Bai's company. As for whether the house they bought can be refunded, it is still unknown. But no matter whether the money was lent to them or not, we should rescue the person first."

"Then can't the families of both sides of them take out the money?" Du Lan said in disbelief, "They shouldn't feel sorry for the money now, right? It's important to protect people."

"From the guests attending the wedding, I think there is probably no money on both sides." Dong Qiangqiang analyzed, "I heard Lao Bai mention it very obscurely, and some of the guests didn't even pay for the membership. In addition, many people in Hualing's family were sick and spent a lot of money to see a doctor."

Du Lan understood Dong Qiangqiang's meaning and said sadly: "Then I'll ask my friends here again, maybe I can get some more."

"This is the best. I will ask my friends here later." Dong Qiangqiang unconsciously thought of the new local tycoon Duan Ju Xinghao, and instantly felt hope. He knew that the stock price of Munich Re's insurance has been falling, and it is possible that Duanmu's profit will double. If Duanmu is willing to help, 1.6 million may not be completed.

"I don't understand one thing," Du Lan asked suddenly, "How did Lao Chen know Lao Bai's whereabouts and catch him?"

"I suspect that he and Lao Zhang should work together inside and outside. Lao Bai has been helping Lao Zhang to do the company recently. Lao Bai was arrested as soon as the company opened. It must be related to Lao Zhang." Dong Qiangqiang couldn't help feeling guilty and regretful. "It's all my fault for introducing Lao Zhang to Lao Bai. It's equivalent to pushing Lao Bai into the fire pit with my own hands, so I must make up for this mistake with myself, otherwise... Otherwise... I will never forgive myself." As Dong Qiangqiang said, Chen Yu's appearance appeared in front of him.

"You don't blame yourself now, but think about what to do next. It's certain to raise money. Call the police and discuss with Hualing who is more suitable. In addition, Lao Chen said how to contact you?"

"He said he would give me a bank account," Dong Qiangqiang said frustrated, "but I haven't received it yet."
