Don’t panic if you get scammed, give him a Desert Eagle instead.

The manager went on to say, "That's why I asked you to come out this time. Your company is strong, and you may have some useful policies and measures that can help us deal with a lot of problems."

"Okay!" Jiang Chuan responded straightforwardly.

"Don't worry, but I have to take care of my wife as well. Think about it, she just gave birth to my son a few days ago, and I have to help you handle such a big case. Although my wife is more concerned about the overall situation, what woman doesn't want a man to be by her side at this time?"

The person in charge smiled and said with understanding: "You are right. This is what I think. You can check according to your own ideas. If you need any help, just tell me directly. After all, I am also the manager of this city. I will serve as your logistical support."

"Thank you! Then I will take care of my family affairs today, and report to the relevant departments tomorrow and investigate with them. This should be faster."

Jiang Chuan returned to the confinement center with a heavy heart. When he saw Xu Jiajia, he lowered his head in embarrassment.

"What's wrong with you?" Xu Jiajia noticed that something was wrong with him and asked curiously.

"Why do I have to be a public figure? I agreed to stay with you during your confinement, but now I have to help the relevant departments solve the case. I feel helpless."

Xu Jiajia smiled softly, her tone full of understanding: "It's okay, it's hard to be both loyal and filial. You are working for the country, which is a good thing. If you were around me all day, I would feel uncomfortable, don't you think?"

Jiang Chuan looked at Xu Jiajia, who was so sensible, and could only nod.

"I may have to go back to the company tomorrow because I need to take some equipment to the relevant departments. Also, I heard that my old classmate Lao Zhao wants to treat me to a meal, but I don't know what he is up to."

"Old Zhao?" Xu Jiajia was stunned, then she remembered something, "Aren't you..."

They used to be close brothers, but due to some reasons, they eventually parted ways. How come they are suddenly together again now?

"You have to be careful. If he suddenly comes to you, he definitely has no good intentions." Xu Jiajia reminded.

"I'm not stupid." Jiang Chuan knew that Lao Zhao's sudden visit to him must be for something bad.

The next day, after everything was ready, Jiang Chuan returned to the company.

As soon as he entered the office, he was stunned. His old classmate Boss Zhao, whom he hadn't seen for many years, was sitting there with a sad face.

"What's wrong? What happened?" Jiang Chuan's heart was filled with alarm bells, and he felt uneasy about the sudden appearance of this old classmate.

"What's wrong with you? It seems like you haven't been doing well recently. Is it because Wang Xiaoer's New Year is getting worse every year?" Boss Zhao tried to make a joke, but Jiang Chuan couldn't laugh.

"You are kidding. My wife gave birth to a baby, and we are now in the confinement center. Haven't you been busy with your own things? Why did you suddenly come to my company? Is there something wrong?" Jiang Chuan was a little amused.

Boss Zhao was quite direct. He took something out of his pocket and handed it to Jiang Chuan.

“You should be familiar with this thing.”

Jiang Chuan took a closer look and found that this was a handicraft that Franklin had given him. He didn't expect that Boss Zhao also had it.

"So after the carnival, Franklin didn't go back, but started working with you. But I remember you were in the pharmaceutical industry, so how come..."

"Well, how can I put it? Franklin is in dire need of money and wants to get some funds from me. I just signed a contract with him, but somehow I ended up in your office, hoping to get your help."

"Me?" Jiang Chuan knew in his heart that Boss Zhao would never come to visit without a reason, so it was bound to be something bad when he came.

"Tell me the truth, what happened? This happened suddenly, it's definitely not normal. Just tell me straight!"

"Actually, I can't do anything about Franklin. He's always against me, taking my money and trying to get his little son off the hook. Do you know what he's doing over there?"

"I heard that he made an investment that lost all his money, and now he keeps pouring money into it. But his family no longer has the strength it once had," Jiang Chuan said thoughtfully.

"Isn't he holding any evidence against you?" Jiang Chuan suddenly asked.

"Are you kidding? Who am I? How could he catch me? Do you think I'm a fool? Let's not talk about this. I came here today to discuss something with you. I want to give the other party a sum of money. This is what we agreed on. But my company is short of funds. Don't you own a bank? I want to borrow some money directly from your bank. How about it?"

"Loan?" Jiang Chuan smiled. He did have the money, but he wanted to know more about why Boss Zhao was suddenly short of money. The two had no business dealings since their falling out. Now Boss Zhao suddenly came to his office and mentioned Franklin's matter. There must be something fishy going on.

"It's not a big deal, but don't think I'll give you a backdoor. Our bank has already undergone a shareholding reform, and I'm not the controlling shareholder now. I just have shares."

"What?" Boss Zhao looked helpless.

"A greedy guy actually gave the bank directly to the country. What are you thinking? It seems that you really intend to..."

"Haha." Jiang Chuan smiled and said calmly, "Actually, this is very simple. We have a banking project for a military enterprise. This kind of nondescript project itself does not have any advantages. It is better to ask some professional talents to operate it. And isn't it better to hand it over to the country? It is better to lean on a big tree for shade, don't you think?"

After saying that, Jiang Chuan sat down and took a leisurely sip of tea. "I am not the president of the bank now. If you really want to get a loan, just go to their leader. Don't worry, I will say hello. But the review and other procedures must go through the process. Don't try to simplify it. Every step must be taken seriously, understand?"

Boss Zhao stood up helplessly: "Well, it seems that my old classmate is not going to help me at the critical moment. Then I can only look for another place."

"Haha, actually I can help, but we have to do it legally, right? Besides, I handed the bank over to the state a long time ago. Can I still do this behind the scenes? Don't joke with me. This is not my own bank."

Jiang Chuan knew clearly that Boss Zhao would do nothing but set traps for him.

"Well, we are old classmates. If you think so, I won't say much. In the future, we should not have any more contact unless we have something to do."

Boss Zhao left the office in frustration. Jiang Chuan smiled helplessly and muttered in his heart: "When did I want to associate with you? Didn't you cheat me enough when you were young? Now you come to me and talk nonsense."

However, Jiang Chuan still felt a little strange. This Boss Zhao came to ask for money. Logically speaking, his pharmaceutical company should not be short of money. Moreover, he had cooperated with some state-owned enterprises before, and the drug he was researching was also involved in Boss Zhao's company.

Generally speaking, it is impossible for a business like this to be short of funds. Therefore, there is only one possibility, that is, he needs to invest in other industries. However, he was worried that there would be problems with funds, so he thought of his old classmate.

Jiang Chuan slowly came back to his senses, secretly thanking himself for being careful. If he was really cheated by Boss Zhao, he would have no way to explain himself and would not be able to seek justice anywhere.

"Oh, forget it!" He sighed softly. Although he felt helpless, he changed his mind and thought that they were old classmates after all, so he couldn't just jump to conclusions so easily. He should investigate it first.

However, he did not choose to find someone to investigate within the company, but turned back to the confinement center. He needed to tell Xu Jiajia everything that happened today and listen to her opinion.

"Jia Jia, I think something is wrong here." Jiang Chuan expressed his concerns as soon as he entered the room. "There must be something wrong with that Boss Zhao. You must not be fooled by him. I think he has bad intentions. Now he suddenly asks me for money. There must be some conspiracy behind this."

Hearing this, Xu Jiajia frowned and said, "Is this what you are talking about? But I am in confinement now, so it is not realistic for you to investigate him directly. Can you call Lao Liu to help?"

"Old Liu? Liu Zhijun?" Jiang Chuan nodded, wondering if this idea was feasible. "He's the captain of the criminal investigation team. It must be a big case if we ask him for help. Is it appropriate to ask him for a small matter like this?"

Xu Jiajia thought about it and said hesitantly, "Indeed, asking him to investigate such a small matter seems a bit too much. However, this matter is not simple. What do you think?"

Jiang Chuan shook his head and said firmly: "Such a big case has happened in the medical system recently, and the health department must be investigating itself. But don't you think it's strange? So far, no one has reported the case. Logically, the security department should be investigating the case thoroughly now. Don't you think there is something wrong here?"

After Jiang Chuan said this, Xu Jiajia also began to feel that something was indeed fishy: "When you put it that way, I find it a bit strange. So what you mean is that we should call Lao Liu over and talk to him about this?"

"Yes, I think we should do this." Jiang Chuan nodded. "At least we should let the head of the health department know that there is another line of investigation that is also paying attention to this case. That way, if they really have something fishy going on, they won't dare to act too recklessly."

Xu Jiajia felt that Jiang Chuan's words made sense, so she immediately called Liu Zhijun. Coincidentally, Liu Zhijun was in the city manager's office, also discussing the case. They were considering whether to take over the case directly.

"Jia Jia, are you saying that you are also now suspecting that there is something wrong with this pharmaceutical company?" Liu Zhijun asked on the other end of the phone.

Xu Jiajia answered affirmatively: "Yes, we do have such a suspicion. I am now in my superior's office waiting for their meeting to end. After the conversation, I will go to the confinement center to find you immediately. By the way, I haven't seen your newborn baby yet. I plan to bring my wife to take a look."

After hanging up the phone, the manager looked at Liu Zhijun and said with a smile: "It seems that Boss Xu has found some clues. We may take this opportunity to investigate it carefully. What do you think?"

Liu Zhijun smiled and said, "Everything happens for a reason. Since Jiang Chuan has this idea, it's okay for me to go and take a look. I won't waste my time here, I'll go over now."

After the two smiled at each other, Liu Zhijun stood up and immediately drove his wife to the confinement center. After some greetings, Liu Zhijun took Jiang Chuan to the living room outside.

"Let the two women chat in there. We men can't help much." Liu Zhijun said with a smile, "But what is the case you are talking about? Tell me in detail."

Jiang Chuan then told Liu Zhijun all about his previous interactions and doubts with Boss Zhao. After listening to him, Liu Zhijun showed a look of surprise on his face.

"You may not know that Franklin has come to our country recently," Liu Zhijun said in a deep voice. "Our border inspection department told me directly. As for what he came for, I don't know. However, I feel that since the two of them talked, Franklin seemed a little unhappy, but it seems that they have reached some kind of secret agreement. I think we can take this opportunity to get to know each other better."

Jiang Chuan's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Yes! If that's the case, why don't we just let the bank lend him money directly? If we want to destroy him, we must first make him crazy, right?"

Liu Zhijun pondered for a moment and nodded slowly: "This is a good idea. However, if Jiang Chuan really cooperates with Boss Zhao in terms of funds, it will definitely cause a series of chain reactions. We have to act carefully."

"How about this," Jiang Chuan suggested, "Let's not rush it yet. This matter must be handled behind the scenes. I will find a way to lend him the money openly, and then if there is a problem, we will solve it then. However, once this batch of funds reaches Lao Zhao's hands, all movements must be closely monitored."

"Don't worry!" Liu Zhijun said firmly, "If these funds flow directly abroad, then we must find a way to circuit breaker. It is clear that this money must not leave the country."

"Okay!" The two smiled at each other and then went their separate ways.

After Liu Zhijun returned to the Public Security Bureau, he immediately reported the situation to his superiors. At this moment, Director Lin also smiled after hearing this.

"Sure, that's a good idea." Director Lin said approvingly, "I also want to see how long these people can keep jumping around. We just need to do our best and don't worry."

Although it is not clear what will happen, Director Lin believes that based on the current situation, (End of this chapter)
