They discovered that the US dollars he had prepared were missing, as were the bearer bonds!
But the fake passport he made is still there, as is the gun. However, what's really despicable is that he was only left with an empty gun; the magazines full of bullets were taken away...
So immoral!
Someone else did something similar last night, and that was Gu Ran.
Lin Shengquan immediately knew that it must have been Gu Ran who did it!
"It's over, it's all over! It's all gone!" Lin Shengquan slumped into a chair in the cubicle, tears streaming down his face, completely at a loss.
But soon, having experienced quite a few things, he quickly cheered himself up.
It's not over yet; he still has a way out.
He has some 14K friends in the Netherlands, and with their help, he should be able to raise enough money to return to Hong Kong.
And... he also had a credit card.
Because of his high credit rating at Swiss banks, he has a credit card limit of 500,000 euros, and if he were to withdraw cash, he could probably get more than 400,000 euros.
Taking 400,000 euros to the Netherlands and then returning to Hong Kong should provide a fallback plan.
So he immediately put away all the fake passports and the empty gun, and walked out of the cubicle.
The bank manager then came over with a laptop, and the surveillance footage had already been retrieved.
Lin Shengquan looked at the person in the surveillance video and realized that it really was him. Moreover, the facial recognition system on the surveillance camera identified him as someone exactly the same.
Then came the scene of him withdrawing money. This person knew his bank account and password, and also knew the combination to his safe deposit box!
This terrified Lin Shengquan, because the two passwords were different and were set by himself. No one else knew these two passwords except for himself.
But he knew the person who came to collect the money.
How do you explain this?
"Mr. Lin, have you encountered financial fraud? Should we call the police? If it was our bank's mistake, we will definitely take full responsibility," the bank manager said.
Actually, the manager was just saying that. According to the surveillance footage, Lin Shengquan came to take the money himself. Moreover, the password is kept by the person himself. How could someone impersonate him and know the password?
If he suffers financial loss due to improper safekeeping of his password, the bank will not be held responsible.
Lin Shengquan was obviously aware of the bank's tricks of stalling, so he didn't say anything after reading it.
Over the years, he has been involved in fights and killings within the 14K triad, and he knows about some extraordinary people and events, as well as some special methods.
It seems that Gu Ran knew these extraordinary people and sent them to steal his money.
"Alright, that's all, I'm leaving." Lin Shengquan turned and left after reading it. He couldn't linger now; his next step was to head to the Netherlands.
The Netherlands has many ports that can take him to all parts of the world.
The bank manager was baffled but didn't say much.
Lin Shengquan is not afraid to sue the bank, because the bank has plenty of lawyers to handle the case.
Moreover, judging from today's events, the bank did not do anything wrong.
……
After leaving the bank, Lin Shengquan found an ATM on a street corner and planned to withdraw some cash using his credit card.
European ATMs have daily withdrawal limits, so he planned to withdraw cash little by little and then buy two gold watches all at once in the Netherlands.
He rummaged through his wallet but couldn't find his credit card.
Immediately, he had a bad feeling.
Fortunately, the supplementary credit card was still available, and since the supplementary card's credit limit was shared with the primary card, it could also be used for cash withdrawals.
"Huh? Withdrawal failed!" Lin Shengquan was stunned, looking at the display on the ATM.
His credit card limit has been used up, so he cannot withdraw cash!
Lin Shengquan checked the information on the ATM several times and found that it was indeed overloaded.
"How is that possible? My credit card has a limit of 500,000 euros. I used about 50,000 euros before, so I should still have 450,000 euros left! Besides, credit cards usually send text message alerts if there are large expenditures."
Lin Shengquan hurriedly took out his phone and found that he had blacklisted the number that the bank sent the text message, so he did not receive the text message notification.
If he hadn't actively looked through the messages, he wouldn't have found them at all.
The text message informed him that around 9 a.m., his credit card had been charged 450,000 euros at a luxury watch store…
Lin Shengquan was furious and lost control, smashing the screen of the ATM with force.
"Gu Ran, it must be Gu Ran, he stole my phone last night!" Lin Shengquan remembered this incident. Gu Ran had taken his phone last night, he must have done it then.
So, was he already planning what he would do during his escape from that time onward?
Lin Shengquan suddenly felt that Gu Ran was really terrifying!
He then recalled Gu Ran's last words from last night:
"Let him experience what it's like to be hunted down, then let him flee in fear, and finally let him die in despair when there's nowhere left to run."
At this point, Lin Shengquan was already feeling somewhat desperate, because the most important thing for a fugitive was money, and all he had left was fifty euros in his pocket...
Fifty euros, and you can't even fill a tank of gas!
His golf ball has a standard fuel tank of 50 liters, and one liter of fuel costs about 2 euros.
Fifty euros was only enough for him to fill up half a tank of gas.
Where can he go?
No, wait, he still has a way. He still has a Golf. If he can sell this Golf, he can have some money to run away with.
Moreover, he was carrying a Rolex gold watch and a cell phone. Oh right, he was going to sell the cell phone; Gu Ran might have tampered with it.
"I refuse to believe I can't escape!" Lin Shengquan had only one thought in his mind: he had to survive!
He returned to his car, pondering his next destination.
But at that moment, his passenger door was opened, and a woman got in.
"It's you!" Lin Shengquan exclaimed upon seeing the woman. "Where's the boss? Help me! Help me!"
"You're already on the Gattuso family's death list. Save you?" The woman, wearing black sunglasses, laughed. "Haven't you realized yet that you're no longer of any use to them?"
Lin Shengquan was taken aback: "Then what are you doing here?"
The woman kept her handbag pressed down with her right hand, and said, "Rather than let Gattuso find you and ask you things that shouldn't be asked, you'd better shut up now forever."
Lin Shengquan realized at that moment that this woman had come to kill him!
Before he could react, the woman, who had been hiding her handbag, pulled the trigger. The silenced pistol fired three shots in quick succession—two to the torso and one to the head—killing Lin Shengquan instantly in the car.
Then, the woman calmly got out of the car and called her boss: "Boss, I've taken care of it."
The person on the other end of the phone said, "Gu Ran didn't kill him, probably because he got some useful information out of his head... Go check how much money is still owed to the Su family and send Gu Ran a Citibank check."
The woman was walking down the street when she heard her boss's instructions and asked, "Are you really going to give the money back?"
"Of course not. I'm writing this check to him, but whether they can cash it or not is not my responsibility," the person on the other end of the phone laughed. "I'm going to China in a few days and don't want any complications, so I'm returning the money to him as a gesture of goodwill. And then... well, whether they can make it home alive is another story."
The woman didn't ask any more questions. She knew that her boss was never a generous person and would never return the money he had earned.
Chapter 579 Petting the African Big Cat!
Dragons are all greedy.
The woman wearing sunglasses knew that the boss never gave back what he had gained unless he could obtain even greater profits.
Although the amount of money was not large, dragons have a gene in their blood to protect treasures and will not allow the treasures they have plundered to be stolen.
Therefore, people of mixed races actually have a very strong possessive nature.
Moreover, Gu Ran had previously destroyed one of their experimental bases in the Congo Basin, cutting off their source of income.
The boss probably didn't want to clash with the Gattuso family, nor did he want to offend a mixed-race Chinese family, but... who can say for sure about these unexpected things?
Her boss, on the other hand, is best at creating surprises.
……
Over the next few days, Gu Ran and Su Xiaoqiang went to Amsterdam, Netherlands, which is Lin Shengquan's old stronghold and the largest overseas office of the Su family. Therefore, the most embezzled accounts were found there.
Gu Ran and Su Xiaoqiang quickly uncovered all the evidence and results, and punished some accomplices, but they still hadn't collected enough money.
They had already seen the news about Lin Shengquan's death on the streets of Zurich and knew that it was the mastermind behind it.
Gu Ran already knew who was behind it all. He wasn't in a hurry, but instead took Su Xiaoqiang on a continued flight to South Africa because she wanted to visit the South African wildlife park and see the lions and elephants.
So, after they finished settling things at the office in Cape Town, Gu Ran quietly took Su Xiaoqiang to the countryside.
If you want to see wild animals, you should see them in the wild for the most authentic experience.
It's August now. In the Northern Hemisphere, it's summer or autumn, while in the Southern Hemisphere, it's winter or spring. Daytime temperatures in South Africa are around 20 degrees Celsius.
The two men, dressed in camouflage, squatted a short distance away, across a small river, watching the pride of lions on the other side.
African fauna can sometimes be quite harmonious. Along a small river, a pride of lions occupies one side, hippos occupy another, elephants take up yet another, and some herbivores share the same spot.
As long as predators don't hunt them, they can live in harmony near this water source.
But all harmony is only temporary, because lions need to eat, and the roles of predator and prey cannot be reversed, so the herbivores can only become victims.
Sometimes, when lions are extremely hungry, they will prey on lone elephant cubs. In the African wild, lions are the strongest kings.
They were less than fifty meters away from the pride of lions, separated by a small river. Su Xiaoqiang initially found it novel, but after watching for two days, he got a little bored.
After all, she wasn't doing research; looking at animals was just a passing fancy.
However, the two still observed something extraordinary yesterday.
Yesterday, a lioness was hunting a wild boar. She had completely pinned the boar down, but the boar was still struggling in its death throes.
Just then, a male lion walked by and saw that the lioness was unable to move in order to subdue her prey. Suddenly overcome by lust, the male lion actually…
Su Xiaoqiang was shocked to see such a 'lion blockbuster' in the wild for the first time. She laughed in a low voice for a long time and even joked with Gu Ran: "Look at you men, you're not serious at times like this!"
Gu Ran said, "Aren't there many of these little scenarios in Japanese movies where a woman is cooking in the kitchen while a man is having an affair behind her? What's the big deal?"
Su Xiaoqiang was speechless for a moment, so she reached out and tapped him on the head: "You little pervert!"
