Under the instructions of He Hong, the low-key way in which the ZP coin funds were stolen was a golden opportunity for me.

This accident is actually a kind of hidden benefit, a big windfall.

I understand that if the funds are recovered and I tell He Hong, he will most likely make a request for me to transfer the money to him.

In that case, not only would I lose my performance, I might also gain nothing.

So I already had a plan in mind and decided that I would rather strike first and take the initiative in my own hands.

This money, for me, is an extra layer of security.

As for Grasshopper, I'm not too worried about him.

Once the matter is exposed, he cannot escape responsibility.

The stolen funds converted into RMB are about more than ten million. After deducting the part taken by the grasshopper, there are at least more than eight million left.

This money is almost all pure profit, and considering the possible future peak of ZP currency, the return on investment may be huge.

I have calculated that if everything goes well and Wang Feiyu’s domestic preparations are made, this project may reach a scale of several billion before the end of the year.

……

Four days later, Zhao Yuan brought a message, just as I expected.

Zhou Yang was imprisoned in a water prison by Hu Laosan, and his life hung on a thread.

Hu Laosan was already suspicious, and since I had gone to the West District to meet Zhou Yang, his suspicion of Zhou Yang deepened.

Especially after the Bitcoin disappeared, no explanation from Zhou Yang could eliminate his suspicion.

This was part of my earlier plan: to use Zhou Yang's sister's video as bait, plant a virus into his computer, take away the Bitcoins, and have Zhao Yuan's people spread the news about my close relationship with Zhou Yang in the Western District.

When Hu Laosan realized that the Bitcoin was missing, Zhou Yang undoubtedly became the prime suspect!

Zhao Yuan seemed to be aware of my plan. She looked at me sharply and asked softly: "What are you going to do next? Are you going to add insult to injury, or are you going to lend a helping hand?"

I smiled slightly, with an imperceptible glint in my eyes: "Guess."

Zhao Yuan chuckled lightly, with a probing look in her eyes: "I can't guess."

I did not answer directly. Whether it was to further weaken Hu Laosan's power or to use Zhou Yang to my advantage, this was all part of me taking the initiative.

"I'm going to let him choose." After pondering for a moment, he said something profound.

……

At two o'clock in the morning, the naked darkness enveloped everything, as if even time fell into silence.

I walked out of the villa, walking firmly and cautiously, towards Agui's pickup truck parked not far away.

Five minutes later, the car left the park and headed towards the deserted land on the outskirts.

Here, there is nothing but darkness and silence.

We paused in this no-man's land, waiting for the arrival of another key figure.

Time passed slowly, and every second seemed extremely long.

About ten minutes later, the outline of an off-road vehicle gradually became clear in the night.

It approached slowly and finally stopped in front of us.

Agui and I quickly walked towards the vehicle, everything was done in silence.

The driver of the off-road vehicle was one of Agui's men, and the person lying in the back seat was none other than Zhou Yang.

He was soaked to the skin and his clothes clung to him. He had obviously just been rescued from a water prison.

His body was covered with scars, some of which had even suppurated, emitting an unbearable stench.

Agui's men quickly got out of the car and drove away in our original pickup truck, leaving the off-road vehicle behind.

In the night, Zhou Yang's breathing was weak and unstable. It was obvious that his condition was not good.

"Brother Lei..." Agui looked at me, with a bit of hesitation and questioning in his eyes.

I nodded, took a deep breath, and motioned for Agui to drive.

The car started slowly and headed towards its destination, Mae Sot.

This time was chosen very cleverly, as it was late at night and inaccessible, so that unnecessary sightings and interference could be avoided to the greatest extent.

During the journey in the car, I was silent, concentrating on my next plan.

Agui glanced at me occasionally, but he knew that now was not the time to disturb me.

As the car drove through the night, everything around seemed so quiet.

On the way to Mae Sot, Zhou Yang's moans came from the back seat from time to time.

I didn't look back, but I knew that he would be fine for a while.

He has now become a pawn in my hands, and his destiny is no longer under his control...

"Brother Lei, we are almost there." Agui's voice broke the silence in the car.

The car slowly stopped in front of a hotel that seemed ordinary yet secretive.

I took out my phone from my pocket and dialed Lin Ya's number.

There was a quick response on the other end of the phone and I told her I was here.

The door of the hotel opened slowly, and two hotel staff members quickly walked out. With professional and quick movements, they carefully lifted Zhou Yang out of the car and brought him into the room that had been prepared in advance.

Lin Ya came out briskly with a smile on her face: "Manager Yang, don't worry. The doctor I invited is the most outstanding surgeon in Mae Sot. They will take care of it."

After saying that, she guided Agui and I to another arranged room.

Although this room is not large, it is quite warmly decorated. The round table in the center is filled with exquisite food and drinks, which is obviously specially prepared for us.

The lighting is soft, the food on the table exudes a tempting aroma, and everything is arranged just right.

Lin Ya carefully poured tea for us and then ate with us.

During the dinner, she did not ask who was injured at all.

I have to say, this woman is very knowledgeable.

After about an hour, I realized that it was time to check on Zhou Yang.

Lin Ya has told me that the doctor's treatment for him is nearing completion.

I got up and went to the room where Zhou Yang was.

Opening the door, I saw him lying on the bed. His face was still pale, but he was no longer as painful as before.

His eyes flashed with mixed emotions when he saw me.

"What exactly do you want to do?" Zhou Yang's voice was weak, his lips were chapped, and he was obviously seriously dehydrated.

I smiled softly, sat down on the chair next to his bed, and responded, "What do you think?"

He smiled bitterly, his eyes revealing distrust: "You implanted a virus into my computer, stole Hu Laosan's Bitcoins...and now you're here to save me, pretending to be a good person?"

I shook my head slightly, lit a cigarette in my hand, took a deep breath, and said slowly: "First of all, those Bitcoins are mine. As for saving you, it's not because I want to be a good person, but because you have helped me before. .”

He was silent for a moment, seeming to process my words.

I continued: "Now you have two choices. First, I will give you a travel fee, and you can return to China and take your family to a small city to live quietly, away from all this."

He hesitated for a moment, seemed a little hesitant, and finally asked: "What's the other option?"

I smiled slightly, with a glimmer in my eyes: "The other option is to work with me. I will arrange for people to protect your family and ensure their safety. As for Hu Laosan, as long as you are with me, he will not How dare I do anything to you easily."

Zhou Yang fell silent, his eyes wandering between me and the incandescent lights in the room, obviously weighing the pros and cons of these two options.
