The Big Trap Set for Chu Tao

After Lin Yu, Chen Hao, and others, yet another "chosen one" has found himself behind bars!

Young Master Jiang Che is doing everything he can to boost the performance metrics of the Hangcheng Police Department!

"Everyone, don’t worry. I will definitely reclaim Mr. Wang’s shares. This is just a minor hiccup," Jiang Che said with a calm and composed smile.

Next, he held a meeting with the shareholders. The content of the meeting was, as expected, dry and tedious.

However, Jiang Che, having spent years in his previous life driving for leaders—both their big and small cars—had long since mastered the art of smooth-talking. A mere meeting? Easy to handle!

"Alright, if there are no objections, it’s decided. Leng Ningqiu will serve as the acting CEO of the company. Meeting adjourned!"

Soon, the shareholders left the conference room, leaving only Leng Ningqiu and Jiang Che behind.

"Master... it’s been so long since you last visited me!"

As soon as everyone was gone, Leng Ningqiu dropped her professional facade and nestled into Jiang Che’s lap. Her delicate foot hooked, and her high heels slipped off, revealing her flawless legs draped over Jiang Che.

A wave of intoxicating fragrance washed over him, stirring his desires.

Jiang Che lifted a finger and tilted her chin up. "What? Want to test how sturdy the company’s table is?"

Leng Ningqiu smiled seductively, biting down on Jiang Che’s finger, her tongue lightly grazing his fingertip.

...

A day later.

Chu Tao was finally released from the police station. Although he had the motive for murder, no concrete evidence was found to prove he had actually killed anyone.

However, being inexplicably detained for a day left him seething with anger.

"That damn Jiang Che, what did I ever do to you?"

What a stroke of bad luck!

"Damn it! I won’t let this slide. I’ll get my revenge!"

Taking a step back only made him angrier.

"Jiang Che... so you’re the big-shot company chairman, huh? Just wait till I get rich and buy your company!"

Chu Tao spat on the ground, then flicked his sleeves and prepared to leave.

"Where should I go to waste some money now? I may have billions in shares, but I’ve only got a few hundred bucks in my pocket..."

Chu Tao chuckled self-deprecatingly. "A billionaire as broke as me? I must be the only one in the world."

As he thought about it, his mind drifted to his ex-girlfriend. Back when he stormed into that hotel to catch her cheating... his girlfriend of eight years was with four rich second-generation heirs... it was so humiliating that even a cuckold would shed tears.

The pain... it was too much to bear!

"That damn bitch—"

[Ding! Today’s squandering quota has been updated. The host can squander 2 million, and the system will automatically double the refund.]

Chu Tao’s mouth twitched. Where the hell am I supposed to get 2 million right now?

Just then, a ghostly voice echoed.

"Young man, are you short on cash?"

"What the hell?!" Chu Tao was startled, turning around in alarm.

A burly man in a black suit with a blue collar was looking at him with a humble smile.

"All you need to do is tell me, are you short on investment funds?"

Chu Tao instinctively nodded.

"I’ll cover the investment money!"

"You’ll cover the investment money?" Chu Tao frowned.

"Cover my ass!"

Chu Tao suddenly lashed out, slapping the man across the head.

He had recently heard about a "Loan Hero" in Hangcheng—someone who would show up the moment you were short on cash, take your phone, and sign you up for a massive high-interest loan.

Although he was desperate for money, he still had some conscience left!

"Stop hitting me! Stop!"

"Damn it! I’m here to stand up for justice. Loan sharking, huh? Do you know how many young men and women have been ruined by high-interest loans? I’ll beat the crap out of you!"

Chu Tao vented his rage over being cheated on, pummeling the loan shark for a good ten minutes before finally letting him go.

"Pah! I may be broke, but I’m not desperate enough to borrow from loan sharks."

With that, Chu Tao took out his phone to call a ride home.

But when he opened his phone, he noticed that his account now had an extra 150,000 yuan. There was also a small note stuck to the back of his phone.

[Bro, even though you beat me up, I still know you’re short on cash. This is 150,000 yuan I applied for you as a backup fund from ‘Last Resort Loans.’ You can use it as you please.]

"What the hell? Is this for real?"

"Should I... use it? No, no! I’ll stand firm against high-interest loans!"

Chu Tao gritted his teeth and decided to head back to the police station to file a report.

Why did he hate loan sharks so much? His childhood sweetheart had borrowed money from a loan shark out of desperation, and it had led her down a path of ruin.

He had forgiven her several times before, but this time, with four rich second-generation heirs... even the Ninja Turtles wouldn’t have been able to tolerate it!

Suddenly, his phone rang.

"Are you Mr. Chu Tao?"

Chu Tao was taken aback but nodded. "Yes, I’m Chu Tao."

"I’m the lawyer for Mr. Wang Zongyun. Mr. Wang has regained consciousness, and there are some issues with the shares. Could you come to Hangcheng General Hospital?"

......

At that moment, in a hospital room.

Jiang Che, along with Leng Ningqiu and several company shareholders, had gathered.

An elderly man, trembling, grasped Jiang Che’s hand. "Young Master Jiang, thank you for saving my life."

Indeed, the old man had been on the brink of death, with the hospital issuing a critical condition notice. It was Jiang Che who stepped in and saved him.

After Lin Yu’s luck ran out, Jiang Che inherited his godly medical skills, capable of reviving the dead and healing the critically ill.

"Young Master Jiang!!! You are the savior of our family!"

Several of Wang Zongyun’s relatives knelt before Jiang Che.

"Mr. Wang, you are a veteran who helped my father build this empire. Saving your life is the least I could do..."

Hearing Jiang Che’s words, Wang Zongyun’s eyes grew misty, his throat tight with emotion.

"Young Master, it was my foolishness. How could I have so carelessly handed over my shares?"

Jiang Che sighed. This was undoubtedly the work of Chu Tao’s "Squandering System." He even suspected that Wang Zongyun’s sudden illness was the system’s attempt to silence him!

"Mr. Wang, don’t get too worked up. Let’s go over the details of the share transfer. We have a lawyer here recording everything. If it turns out to be fraud... that kid is in for a world of trouble."

Wang Zongyun nodded. "That day, I was crossing the street when that young man insisted on helping me across... Looking back now, it’s terrifying. I didn’t even know him... How could I have possibly transferred my shares to him?"

"Could it be that I’m just old and got possessed by a ghost?"

One of the shareholders chimed in, "Could it have been some kind of drug? Something to knock Mr. Wang out?"

The lawyer waved his hand. "Regardless, the shares can definitely be reclaimed. Don’t worry about that."

Just then, Chu Tao finally arrived at the hospital room.
