Five hundred million pennies, converted to mainland China, would be a full three million, which was a huge sum of money in 1991.
This amount of money might not be much to other people in the Kinmen Group, such as Chairman Shi Dong, Ding Qing, and Li Zhongjiu; they could easily come up with it.
But Zhang Shouji is different. He has been sitting on the sidelines for many years and is essentially a lone commander. He has had little income over the years and has been living off his savings.
If 500 million were given to Mian Zhenghe, the company would immediately go bankrupt.
"Vice President Zhang, you can't possibly be unable to come up with even this small amount of money, can you?"
Mian Zhenghe looked at Zhang Shouji and said.
"money is not a problem."
Zhang Shouji finally agreed. Five hundred million pennies was a huge sum for him now, but once he became the chairman of the Kinmen Group, this amount of money would be nothing.
"Vice President Zhang is indeed straightforward. It will be a pleasure to cooperate with him."
When Mian Zhenghe heard Zhang Shouji agree, a smile immediately appeared on his face. He stood up and extended his palm to Zhang Shouji.
"Pleasant to work with."
Zhang Shouji and Mian Zhenghe shook hands.
"Let's go now and visit Vice President Zhang's house so I can arrange for my men to protect him."
Mian Zhenghe said.
Zhang Shouji nodded, and then the group left the unfinished building and returned to the detached villa.
……
Police force.
"Sir, you wanted to see me?"
Ma Xidao, a burly man, stood in front of Li Yimin's desk and said.
"Sit down, there's something I want to tell you."
Li Yimin pointed to the sofa and then said, "I just received news that Li Zhongjiu, the executive director of Jinmen Group, has died at the hands of executive director Ding Qing."
"First it was Shi Dong, then it was Li Zhongjiu. It seems the internal strife within the Kinmen Group is quite serious."
Ma Xidao frowned.
"Didn't you suspect that Ding Qing was responsible for the attacks on Director Gao and Section Chief Jiang? Li Zhongjiu's death is a good starting point."
Li Yimin made a suggestion, and after thinking for a moment, he added, "In addition, I have an informant in the Kinmen Group who holds a high position. He can obtain some criminal information about Ding Qing, and he will send it over in a while."
The so-called informant naturally refers to Zhang Shouji.
"I think I know what to do."
Ma Xidao nodded and said.
"Good that you understand. Go ahead and do it. Don't be afraid of making mistakes. I'll take the blame for you if anything goes wrong."
Li Yimin said.
"Yes."
Ma Xidao stood up and said, "Then I'll get to work."
"Go."
Li Yimin waved his hand, watched Ma Xidao leave the office, shook his head, and thought to himself, why wasn't such a capable police officer under his command? Placing him in a place like Jiayefeng Cave was a waste of talent.
Unfortunately, Ma Xidao had no intention of leaving Jia Yefeng Cave, and Li Yimin could only sigh helplessly.
On the other side, after leaving Li Yimin's office, Ma Xidao picked up his coat, left the police station, and drove straight to Shenghai Building.
Now that he knew that Li Zhongjiu had died at the hands of Ding Qing, Ma Xidao planned to go find Ding Qing as soon as possible and have a good "talk" with him in person.
The usual procedure for handling cases is to find evidence first and then summon the suspect. However, Ma Sik-tao rarely does this. He prefers to identify the suspect and then personally summon him. With his abilities, he can more effectively investigate the truth.
Then, work backward from the truth to deduce the evidence.
Soon, they arrived near Sheng Hai Building on Ma Sik Road and parked their car on the street.
"It really looks impressive."
Ma Sik-tao looked up, glanced around at the Sheng Hai Building, and then walked straight inside.
Is Ding Qing here?
Ma Sik-tao entered the lobby on the first floor and went to the front desk to ask.
"Sir, do you have an appointment?"
The receptionist said that Ding Qing, as the owner of Shenghai Building and the chairman of the company, is not someone that just anyone can meet.
"What appointment? Is Ding Qing some big shot?"
Ma Xidao snorted and said.
"Excuse me, sir, you cannot enter without an appointment..."
The receptionist smiled and declined.
However, before the receptionist could finish speaking, Ma Xidao pulled out a police officer's ID and placed it in front of her.
Chapter 147 Ma Xidao Investigates Ni Yongyao! The Death of Ma Xidao!
"Look carefully at what this is."
Ma Sik-tao slapped his police ID card in front of the receptionist.
Upon seeing this, the receptionist was astonished, never expecting that Ma Xidao was actually a police officer.
After all, Ma Xidao was tall and burly, with a fierce look on his face. He looked like someone who was involved in the underworld, and he must have been a big shot. He couldn't possibly be associated with a police officer.
"This, it's not a fake certificate, is it?"
The receptionist looked at the ID, then glanced at Ma Xidao, and asked with a puzzled expression.
Upon hearing this, Ma Xidao's face darkened immediately. He took back his identification and walked straight inside.
"Come back! You can't see the chairman without an appointment."
"The receptionist called out."
But Ma Xidao was too lazy to argue with her, and without stopping, he quickly walked into the elevator.
Upon seeing this, the receptionist quickly picked up her walkie-talkie and notified the building's security personnel.
However, Ma Sik Road has already taken the lead and reached the top floor of the building.
"Ding--"
The elevator doors slowly opened, and Ma Xidao stepped out. He immediately saw many bodyguards in black suits in the corridor; these were Ding Qing's men.
"who?"
The bodyguard noticed Ma Xidao and demanded an explanation.
Ignoring them, Ma Xidao looked towards the chairman's office, confirmed his target, and then strode over there.
"You little brat! Didn't you hear me? This isn't a place for you to run wild!"
Several bodyguards blocked Ma Sik's path.
Ma Xidao frowned, but didn't get entangled with these people. He simply bumped into them lightly, and with his outstanding physical qualities, he made the bodyguards stagger.
Then Ma Sik-tao pushed open the office door and went inside.
Inside the office, Ding Qing stood in front of the desk, respectfully reporting the affairs of the Kinmen Group to Ni Yongyao.
This was the scene that greeted Ma Sik-tao as soon as he entered.
Ma Xidao scanned the office, recognizing Ding Qing and Li Zicheng first, but not the rest. His gaze finally settled on Ni Yongyao behind the desk.
Ma Xidao frowned; the situation was beyond his expectations.
According to the information Ma Xidao had checked, the owner of the Shenghai Building was Ding Qing, and the chairman's office also belonged to Ding Qing. However, the person sitting in the boss's chair now was not Ding Qing, but a stranger he had never seen before.
Most importantly, Ding Qing adopted an extremely humble posture, making it immediately clear to Ma Xidao that Ding Qing was in a subordinate position.
Based on the recent series of events, Ma Sidao immediately realized that the source of everything was probably this stranger.
"I'm sorry, brother, he forced his way in, we were careless for a moment..."
At this moment, several bodyguards came to the door, bowed to Ding Qing, and said...
"This is none of your business. Get out of here."
Ding Qing waved his hand. Since the people had already broken in, there was no need for these bodyguards to be in the way. After all, with Ni Yongyao's men around, Ding Qing didn't believe Ma Xidao could cause any trouble.
After dismissing the bodyguards, Ding Qing looked at Ma Xidao, sized him up, and asked, "Who are you? Do you know where this place is? If you don't have a reason to convince me, you won't be leaving here today."
"Quite the boast, no wonder he's the executive director of Kinmen Group."
Ma Xidao grinned, pulled out his police ID, flashed it in front of Ding Qing, and said, "Now you know who I am, right?"
Ding Qing wasn't a receptionist; she had much better eyesight and could tell at a glance that Ma Xidao's police ID was genuine.
“Officer Ma, you broke into my company without any reason. Even if you are a police officer, you need to give me an explanation, otherwise I don’t mind suing you.”
