Chapter 58: Fake Cheque

Fang Yuan took a break to blow dry her hair. As soon as she returned, her phone rang once again. A peculiar number illuminated the screen, though she seemed accustomed to this routine and answered without a second thought.

“Boss, that idiot Fang Liguo has caused us to hemorrhage money again. We’re down a whopping 100 million this time!”

“I damn well wish I could unearth his ancestor’s grave and inquire how they managed to give birth to such a colossal imbecile!”

“He previously expressed interest in investing in various projects. I had people guiding him along multiple avenues, both overtly and covertly. I was on the verge of simply depositing the money directly into his pocket!”

“But what happened? Not only did he fail to turn a profit, but he also went ahead and lost the whole damn bundle, leaving us reeling in losses!”

“If this keeps up, Boss, you might as well start planning a visit to my grave. I’m about to keel over from sheer fury!”

The voice on the other end belonged to Big Bai. He had stood by Fang Yuan’s side for three years, proving unwavering loyalty. Upon hearing this news, Fang Yuan was left momentarily speechless. A100 million dollar loss? Fang Liguo truly was a lost cause. How many times had he led them down this road?

“Boss, considering you don’t share blood ties with that moron, why not severe all collaboration? Wouldn’t it be more prudent for us to line our pockets solo? What sense does it make for that imbecile to bask in our success?”

“How have they treated you during your time with the Fang Family? How much suffering have you endured?”

“Even if you owed Madame Fang a debt in the past, you’ve repaid it tenfold by aiding the Fang Clan through her illness. You’ve cleaned up countless messes for Fang Liguo, effectively catapulting him to the title of Haicheng City’s richest man. You’ve long settled your accounts!”

“Perhaps it’s time to stop aiding them, what do you say?”

“Agreed.” Fang Yuan tidied her hair and strolled nonchalantly into the clubhouse. This was a decision she’d actually plotted long before now. From this point on, she intended to sever all ties with the Fang Clan.

“If it weren’t for your efforts back then, would your company even have stumbled upon Fang Liguo for a partnership? Let’s see how he struts around without us backing him up!”

Given Fang Liguo’s intellectual prowess, he seemed poised not only to relinquish his crown as Haicheng City’s wealthiest individual but potentially to squander his entire fortune.

Fang Yuan was resolved to put the vexatious matter of Fang Liguo behind her. In a casual tone, she remarked, “I’ll forward you a location. Swing by to collect something.”

“Got it! I’ll tackle all the tasks Boss assigned to me, even if they involve mountains of blades and seas of flames!” Big Bai declared, stealing a glance at the disheartened onlookers nearby. He then added, “Boss, Big Blackie is pining for you. It’s yearning to pay you a visit as well.”

“…” Fang Yuan gave in with a sigh. “Alright.”

Before long, their adept navigation skills led them to Fang Yuan’s whereabouts, bypassing security personnel unnoticed.

“Scale the wall and come in.” Fang Yuan had no desire to startle her family.

“Sure thing!”

After a brief interval, two figures scaled the wall and stood before Fang Yuan.

“Boss, we were at our wits’ end missing you…”

Little did they anticipate that Boss’s biological father was none other than Cheng Ye, who had reigned as the country’s wealthiest individual for twelve consecutive years…

What defied even greater expectation was that they presently stood within the residence of the world’s richest man. No wonder his status was unparalleled; his abode was monumentally impressive…

“We’ll make a bank trip tomorrow.” Fang Yuan promised, extending them a check.

Big Bai and Big Blackie exchanged incredulous glances before accepting the check, studying it skeptically. Could this check possibly be legitimate?

“Bo Group’s blank check? Boss, did you stumble upon it?” Big Bai’s incredulity was palpable. “You didn’t snatch it, did you?”

Big Blackie playfully kicked him: “Quit the nonsense. Would Boss ever stoop to stealing? She wouldn’t even bother to pick up money off the ground! Boss, do enlighten us – from where did you ‘acquire’ this check?”

“Damn it, you’re the one spouting nonsense!” Big Bai playfully smacked the back of Big Blackie’s head. “Given Boss’s character, does she need to steal anything?”

The young woman possessed striking beauty and an ethereal air. With a glint in her eyes, she patiently allowed their commotion to subside before uttering slowly, “Why don’t you find out for yourselves once you cash it? Just make it out for 300 million.” It didn’t need to be an exorbitant amount, just sufficient.

Upon these words, Big Bai lowered the check in silence. “Boss, I’m getting jittery… This is Bo Group’s check… I’m afraid Bo Yi will sever my hand if he catches wind of this.” If it turned out to be a counterfeit, his fate would be agonizing…

Fang Yuan cast him a sidelong glance. Tsk, what a timid fellow.

“Boss, where did this come from exactly?” Big Blackie picked up the check again, scrutinizing it against the light. The more he observed, the more authentic it appeared. Could counterfeiting techniques have evolved to such an extent?

Fang Yuan responded with a hint of disapproval, “It dropped from the sky.”

“Why didn’t one fall for me?” Big Bai grumbled with a trace of offense, “How did it manage to land in your hands, Boss?”

Fang Yuan rolled her eyes at him. “Could you manage it if it fell into your grasp?”

“What do you mean by not capable?” Big Bai retorted indignantly, “Forget a single drop, I could even manage a whole stack falling, or even a hundred stacks!”
