Chapter 285: Chapter 233: Deep Sea Giant Fish (Please Subscribe!)_1
Leaving Liu Qian’s villa, Tang Qing felt like a ’villain’ once again.
Previously, to understand Liu Qian’s money exchange business, during his last meal with his uncle and his family, he had his fighters place some small devices within Liu Qian’s villa, mainly in the living room, rooftop and courtyard. After all, he and Liu Qian weren’t enemies, there was no need for overkill.
But now, he basically didn’t need those anymore. A few days ago, he had obtained the database and information from all the networked devices of that organization. It was filled with various intelligence gathered by the organization.
Among these was information about Liu Qian.
The information included not just detailed survey information on Liu Qian but also his rise to power, his network of relationships, scope of influence, and a brief account of his money exchange business over the years. Tang Qing no longer felt such an urgent need to investigate Liu Qian. He also found out that Liu Qian was indeed not involved in illegal money laundering. Still, Tang Qing did not withdraw his fighters from infiltrating Liu Qian’s money exchange business. After all, one less man to spare didn’t matter; who knows when he might need them.
Liu Qian wasn’t part of that organization nor even a collaborator. Only those who ran underground banks had the qualifications to directly cooperate with that organization. The scale and relatively ’normal’ operations of Liu Qian’s money exchange business would only make him akin to a lower-level independent salesman. But Liu Qian’s main business wasn’t this, so this didn’t mean that Liu Qian’s status was low, only that his trading volume was less.
Additionally, in the organization’s internal files, the Command Room also discovered the web addresses of other similar organizations.
And then... full-scale internet infiltration began.
In a matter of two days.
Thanks to the efforts of the analysts.
The entire global underground currency exchange network was laid before Tang Qing.
At that time, Tang Qing was extremely shocked, amazed by the broad reach and depth of influence of these people. He was also surprised by the number of people involved in the illegal transfer of funds which these organizations had inadvertently gathered. Then again, they were not picky about whose money they earned and didn’t seem to fear offending any country at all.
Almost every country had their presence. According to the Command Room’s calculations, the total volume of illegal transactions conducted by these organizations last year reached near a staggering twenty trillion dollars, approximately twice the GDP of the United States from the previous year. This was a massive fish swimming unseen beneath the surface of the world’s placid currency lake. Although such a sum seemed impossibly vast, in reality, it wasn’t that much — it was a transaction volume, not profit.
For instance, converting a billion RMB into dollars would be counted as one transaction. Converting those dollars to euros would be counted as another. In short, any non-official transaction, done through their channels, is included, so the trading volume didn’t shock Tang Qing too much. Even if it reached three to five trillion dollars in a few years, he wouldn’t be surprised. Discounting repetitive transactions, the actual volume was probably only a tenth.
Therefore, without detailed account statements from banks around the world, this data didn’t hold much reference value, it just looked big.
Regarding the report sent by the Command Room.
Tang Qing increasingly felt like the villain.
He was ’stealing’ things everywhere.
However, he had no choice. Apart from ’stealing’, there was no way he could acquire these things.
Therefore, since Liu Qian’s villa had eavesdropping devices.
The conversation between Liu Qian and Monkey was, of course, heard by him. Although Liu Qian had his own motives, Tang Qing understood his views on Monkey. In academia, there is no first or second. Martial art practitioners naturally want to reach the top and see the beautiful views.
He parked the car not far from the villa district.
Tang Qing dialed his second uncle’s number.
At this moment, Tang Kai was conducting a meeting at the Group’s office. Dozens of people were sitting below, sitting straight and listening intently. Two fighters stood behind Tang Kai, standing firmly and constantly keeping a watchful eye on everyone below.
Those who met the gaze of two fighters felt as if they were being seen through. A sense of panic arose in their hearts. They all thought to themselves how terrifying their boss’s new bodyguard was.
"Ring, ring ..."
Of course, the only one who would dare to leave his phone on at this time was Tang Kai.
Seeing a call on his personal phone, he immediately pulled it out. Only his family knew this number. Any matters related to the family were not trivial.
He took a look and it turned out to be from Tang Qing. Tang Kai smiled slightly, gave those seated below a sign to take a break, and walked out of the conference room. One of the fighters followed him out.
"Tangtang, no classes today?" Tang Kai said with a smile.
"No, second uncle, there’s something I want to discuss with you. General Manager Liu of Tian Qian Group came to find me and wanted to ask you to lend him a bodyguard," Tang Qing stated his purpose straightforwardly. He didn’t want to make small talk since Tang Kai was in a meeting, according to the news from the fighter by his side. Besides, since they were family, there was no need for taking a roundabout way.
"What do you think, can we lend him one?" Tang Kai asked. He couldn’t sell out Liu Qian like that.
"Sure, after all, Liu has helped us with so many things, it would be unreasonable not to help him with this little issue. How about it, Uncle, aren’t my friends, these bodyguards, badass?" Tang Qing said. A few days ago, he heard that the two fighters beat up more than a dozen of his uncle’s bodyguards, no matter how skilled in Thai Boxing or experienced soldiers, in front of absolute strength, they were all worthless.
Upon hearing this, Tang Kai sighed, "They’re more than just badass, they’re so formidable it’s unbelievable. They’ve completely tamed my bodyguards."
A few days ago, he came home with two bodyguards, both cold and aloof, one of which instantly became Tang Kai’s personal bodyguard. Naturally, this upset his other bodyguards, but this wasn’t a contest of courage, but a test of strength. The bodyguards, who had followed Tang Kai for many years, were no fools, but warriors only respect the strong. So during their morning training, they challenged one of the fighters.
Then, as one might expect, the first one to go was immediately defeated, then the second one, equally quickly. Eventually, despite everyone trying their best, nobody could stand two moves against this soldier.
After that, they all looked at the two fighters like gods, not daring to say anything.
In the end, Tang Kai had to step in, inventing a heroic backstory for the fighters, suggesting they’d trained in battle from an early age, fought countless wars in the Middle East, and finally tired of war and became bodyguards.
Surprisingly, the bodyguards accepted the lie that Tang Kai had made up on the spot.
Since then, no one has questioned the strength of these two, and, well... they kept asking for a fight, hoping to last one more move against them and claim victory. Tang Kai never could have imagined his bodyguards would have such low expectations. Still, not one of them has managed to last three moves against the fighters.
But it has sparked their interest, and they’ve begun training more fervently.
Tang Kai is quite pleased with this outcome.
"That’s good, let him go with Liu, anyway he will pay." Tang Qing said,
Tang Kai replied: "Alright, you don’t have to worry about this anymore. I’ll contact him later. Last time, I accidentally mentioned it when I went home. I hope your friend doesn’t mind."
"No problem, why would he mind such a small thing, besides, Uncle how is everything on your end recently? How’s the company doing? Is there any trouble? Just say it if there are problems, both people and money are not a problem for my friend." Tang Qing said.
This made Tang Kai feel gratified in his heart. Although he had never thought about asking Tang Qing for help, but Tang Qing being so considerate made him happy. This is not a businessman’s promise, but a family’s promise, it’s all sincere.
"Haha, your friend really is capable, but don’t worry, things on my side are pretty good, everything is normal, and there’s no difficulty." Tang Kai laughed.
"Don’t only report the good but not the bad." Tang Qing said. His fighters are there with his uncle all day, along with a lot of other intelligence sources. He knows that his uncle’s business isn’t too stable right now, which is why he asked this question.
Firstly, after losing Wei Jun’s stable supply, there isn’t much stock left. Recently, his uncle has been trying to find new suppliers, but it hasn’t been very effective. Few people are willing to offend the person who has taken over Wei Jun’s territory.
"Well, I know quite a few people here, no issues at all." Tang Kai laughed. He knew that Tang Qing might already know something, but this is not domestic, it wouldn’t be possible to solve other countries’ problems just because Tang Qing’s friend is influential in China, and this isn’t about money.
"Alright then, Uncle you can carry on with your work, it’s the weekend today, I’m going to spend some time with Jiaxue." Tang Qing said nothing further, more words would be useless, it’s action that matters.
"Good, be careful when driving, if you need money just give me a call." Tang Kai reminded him.
"Alright, Uncle, goodbye."
Then Tang Qing drove to Lin Jiaxue’s house. The two of them spent all day together without going out, simply watching the DVDs he’d rented on the way. Nowadays, there aren’t many interesting variety shows to watch, and it’s annoying to not be able to watch TV series continuously. So they rented some TV dramas and kung fu movies from an audio and video store, they immensely enjoyed watching them.
Not because they were really that good, but simply because they had each other.
After eating dinner at the Lin family’s house, Tang Qing went home.
A bath and he’s refreshed.
Tang Qing shut the door and swiftly headed to the command room.
Taking a deep breath, he said, "Tang Yi, let’s begin."
In order to ensure a smooth supply for his uncle’s business, he had decided to strike at the person who had seized Wei Jun’s territory.
Just killing that guy wouldn’t be enough,
He also needed to provide a stable source of goods for his uncle. This was not just in his uncle’s interest, but also his parents and his own interest in the Dream Melody Group. Reflecting on the changes within him, his heart has hardened over time. If it wasn’t for the presence of so many loved ones in his life, he feared his character would have been significantly influenced.
