Chapter 837 854: Swindled the Money
The Chief Police Officer rose through the ranks all the way up, long accustomed to this feeling. Of course, the happiest about this was Su Jinzhi, for her daughter finally amounted to something and made her proud. Su Jinzhi felt a great sense of pride on her face!Qi Shangjing, on the other hand, seemed indifferent. In his heart, he still didn't want Qi Manlin to rise too quickly. This old-fashioned man, Su Jinzhi hadn't managed to change him over all these years!!
In Qi Shangjing's understanding, the faster the promotion, the more responsibilities one would have to shoulder, and the higher the position, the more complicated things get. Qi Shangjing held a position as city committee secretary, so he naturally had the most experience, you could say he's been through it. But thinking about the achievements Qi Manlin had made, there was really no reason to stop her. After contemplating, he thought, let it go. To stop it would not be very reasonable because these achievements were all earned through his daughter's real effort, and it might be good for her to have some experience at this level.
The matter in the officialdom was satisfying, and meanwhile, good news came from Vulture's side. Indeed, that guy was obedient. Under Lin Mu's arrangement, he did manage to swindle two hundred million from the Tsar Organization. On the evening he got the money, Vulture called Lin Mu to say that the money was all in hand!
Things had gone exactly as Lin Mu had imagined. Vulture hesitantly called the senior members of the Tsar Organization, stating that they could now launder an additional sum of cash. The people in the Tsar Organization had no suspicions upon hearing this and were quite pleased. After all, Vulture was someone they had nurtured over the years, having laundered funds of all sizes, proving his reliability. So, they had no doubts about Vulture at all!
Thus, when Vulture proposed laundering an additional two hundred million, they were completely agreeable, no problem whatsoever. Upon hearing no issues from the senior members, even Vulture himself was a bit dumbstruck. Just like that, two hundred million was transferred to his account!
He was also afraid of long delays leading to problems, so as soon as the funds were credited, Vulture called Lin Mu, wanting to finish things early so he could escape Lin Mu's clutches sooner!
Lin Mu received Vulture's message and was overjoyed. Just like that, two hundred million was swindled with ease—it was incredibly satisfying! Lin Mu instructed Vulture over the phone to transfer the money to his account. Naturally, Lin Mu was not without conscience. Vulture had worked hard, even if not achieving any commendable accomplishments, so Lin Mu allowed him to keep a million for himself as a hardship allowance!
As for how to deal with Vulture, since he had made contributions to the Flying Dragon Sect, his merits and faults offset each other, sparing him from punishment. Since Vulture swindled two hundred million from the Tsar Organization, until the Tsar Organization's extinction, Vulture must go into hiding, change his name, and leave Wancheng to avoid retaining misfortunes!
Two hundred million is no small amount, so Vulture has already lost the opportunity to cooperate with the Tsar Organization. Whether or not to get rid of him no longer matters!
Lin Mu is not someone who goes back on his word. Once he said he wouldn't pursue the matter, he wouldn't pursue it. Over the phone, Vulture did not hide anything from Lin Mu, stating that after transferring the money to Lin Mu's account, he will leave Wancheng. As for where he will go, Vulture didn't say, and this has nothing to do with Lin Mu, so Lin Mu didn't ask!
Just before leaving, Lin Mu remembered something else, something to do with An Jian Country, which had to be resolved. On the surface, An Jian Country's issue had actually been resolved, but Lin Mu wasn't satisfied, so he planned for both he and Vulture to go to An Qi'Er's home and return the money An Jian Country lost to the An Family.
Lin Mu knew that it wouldn't look right for him to return the money himself, so this task had to be done by Vulture personally for the An Family to feel at ease. Vulture, upon hearing Lin Mu's words, expressed no objections!
An hour later, Lin Mu and Vulture appeared at An Jian Country's home. When An Jian Country saw Lin Mu and then Vulture beside him, his eyes were full of astonishment.
"This, this..." An Jian Country didn't know what to say.
"Haha, Uncle, don't worry, he's here to return your money. We don't know exactly how much you lost, so he brought ten thousand as compensation!" Lin Mu explained as he saw An Jian Country hesitating in speech.
"Return... return money?" An Jian Country was even more astonished. The infamously notorious Vulture was actually returning money to him?
An Jian Country could hardly believe his ears. To him, this was absolutely absurd, more laughable than anything else.
"That's right, indeed here to return money. I said I'd help you resolve this matter, so of course, it must be resolved thoroughly!" Lin Mu said with a smile.
"..." An Jian Country was speechless. This was indeed thorough, not only was the debt erased, but even the lost money was returned.
"Old An, here is your money, take it!" Vulture said from the side. Earlier, Lin Mu gave him a million, so ten thousand was nothing to him. Combined with his savings, it was just a drop in the bucket.
Looking at the open money bag in Vulture's hand, An Jian Country actually found that there really was money inside, "Really... really returning money?"
"Haha, Uncle, yes, really, just take it," Lin Mu chuckled, taking the stack of bright red notes from Vulture's hands and handed them to An Jian Country.
Looking at the money in the package, indeed bundles of RMB bills lay inside. An Jian Country was immediately filled with gratitude towards Lin Mu!
"Lin Mu, thank you so much, thank you!" An Jian Country was so moved he was nearly in tears,
"Haha, Uncle, An Qi'Er and I are already a couple, why be so polite with me? Just promise me that you won't gamble again, and live a good life with Auntie." Lin Mu said with a smile, genuinely thinking Auntie An was a nice woman, virtuous, a good homemaker, with an upright character. And despite An Jian Country being the way he is, she stayed with him without complaints, which was something not easily done by others. For this reason alone, Lin Mu had to arrange for the money to be returned by Vulture.
Lin Mu wasn't short of money, but if he gave the An Family money himself, they might not accept it. However, with Vulture, there was less concern!
"Yes, Old An, don't gamble anymore. Nine out of ten bettors lose, and the one time you won was because our casino did it on purpose to stir your interest. Don't gamble again in the future." As the casino owner, Vulture advised An Jian Country with the truth.
An Jian Country nodded, "I won't gamble again, I absolutely won't, I promise!"
"Haha, as long as you don't gamble, that's good. Oh, and there's one more thing to tell you, the job we said we'd find for you, it's been settled. It's a security guard position in the residential area, eight hours a day, earning five thousand. Uncle, this is a good job, you should cherish it." Lin Mu thought it over and decided that a security guard job was most suitable for An Jian Country, considering his leg, it was relatively easy. As for the salary, Lin Mu naturally doubled it for him.
