Chapter 328: Three Days (Part 2)

Although Tang Jingming successfully set the tone at the beginning of the shareholders' meeting by using the news of the overseas account, that was all. When Tang Jingsheng produced documents as tall as a small mountain, all the troublemakers immediately backed down.

So, the first day passed without incident. The following afternoon, Tang An took the initiative to call Tang Jingming. In fact, Tang Jingming should have called Tang An after he found out what had happened but Tang An really couldn't wait any longer and just called him. Although Wood felt that this was inappropriate, he was also curious to know what had happened today, so he acquiesced to Tang An's actions.

The call was quickly connected, and Tang An couldn't wait to ask, 'Jingming, what's the situation like at Zhou Ming's place today? Why haven't you heard anything from your end?'

'It's because there's been no unusual situation,' Tang Jingming replied. 'Today, the stock price of Tangren Bank has also only had very slight fluctuations, which can be confirmed as normal fluctuations after verification. As for the bank's investment shares, there are only a few clients that have been in negotiations in the past, and there are no new clients. There have been no major changes in Tangren Bank's shares or capital.'

Tang An froze, because this was not what he expected.

At this time, Wood thought for a moment and then stepped forward to take the phone and asked, 'So where are Zhou Ming and Tang Ran, as well as Tang Jingsheng and Tang Huiyin? Have you continued to follow them? Do you know where they went today and what they did?'

'I would say their behaviour today was unusual, but it's also possible to say that it wasn't unusual.'

Tang Jingming's answer left Wood and Tang An a little confused, and they had no idea what it meant. Tang Jingming continued, 'They didn't leave the house until 10am left the house. They had lunch together at noon at the private restaurant in St. Nanna. This time the lunch was longer, but there was nothing unusual about it. Then in the afternoon they took a cruise ship from the Inner Harbour Pier...'

'So did your people go out to sea with them? I think there must be something fishy about their strange behaviour, or maybe there are special guests on that cruise ship!' Wood immediately pressed Wood for an answer.

In response, Tang Jingsheng's tone suddenly became awkward: 'Mr Wood, of course my people tried to find a way to follow them onto the cruise ship. In fact, it's not a private cruise ship, but a cruise ship belonging to Bo. casino company. They rented a private room on the cruise ship and played mahjong. It was just the four of them, and they haven't left yet.'

Tang An was dumbfounded, and Wood was also dumbfounded after receiving Tang An's explanation and learning what mahjong was.

They played mahjong on the gambling cruise for a whole day. What does that mean? Don't they know that we are about to reveal the truth about their embezzlement? Why are they so calm? This is not scientific! Or is there some other secret to their mahjong playing?

Wood thought for a while before saying, 'I think they are just playing regular mahjong. After all, it's only the second day, and they think they still have one day to get around. That's why they did it on purpose to confuse us, so that we gradually lost our patience and stopped spying on them.'

After being reminded by Wood, Tang An also reacted at once: 'I understand. Mr. Wood, you mean they are pinning all their hopes on that last day, and if we give up, it will be just as they planned!'

Tang Jingming also said, 'This kind of trick can only fool those impulsive children, and I will definitely not fall for it!'

'But no matter what, we must keep an eye on Zhou Ming. I believe that as time runs out, they will become more and more panicked, and that will be our chance,' said Wood.

So the next day passed, and finally the third day arrived. That morning, Wood, Tang An and Tang Jingming all woke up early, because according to their initial estimate, tracking the flow of funds would at the latest give results tomorrow, which meant that today was the last day. In order to seize the initiative, they believed that Zhou Ming and Tang Ran would definitely have to take action today.

It was only 7am, but Tang An already called Tang Jingming on the phone: 'Jingming, what's the situation today? Zhou Ming must have left early, right?'

But Tang Jingming's answer embarrassed Tang An: 'No, at least there has been no movement from Zhou Ming, Tang Ran, Tang Jingsheng, or Tang Huiyin. Judging from the situation, it seems that none of them have even woken up yet.'

Wood and Tang An were stunned by this answer. This was the third day, and they were supposed to be in a hurry. They were actually still in bed. What was going on?

'Mr Wood, I think this may be another one of their ploys, just like yesterday, to confuse us by getting up late on purpose. So we should just keep on monitoring patiently, they definitely won't be able to hold back! Now that time is running out, the situation will only become more and more favourable for us,' Tang An said confidently.

Tang Jingming also said, 'Yes, we will continue to monitor them here. There are also people keeping an eye on the stock market shares of Tang Dynasty Bank. All channels are locked up for them. Let's see what tricks they can play!'

With this kind of persistence, Wood, Tang An and Tang Jingming waited for news in their respective rooms. This wait lasted another morning, from 7:00 to 10:30. Tang An was so impatient that he wanted to pull his hair out, before finally waiting for Tang Jingming's phone call.

Tang An couldn't wait to get through to him and asked, 'Jingming, is there any movement on Zhou Ming's side? Did he go somewhere or did someone go to him? Or have they finally started to take action on the shares of Tangren Bank?'

Facing this series of questions, Tang Jingming let out a bitter laugh and said, 'Tang An, don't be so impatient. I just got the news too. Zhou Ming just got up and went to go out. It seems that they are preparing to go to the private restaurant San Na to eat again, while on the other side, Tang Ran, Tang Jingsheng and Tang Huiyin are already on their way to Union Square.'

Tang An heard this answer and suddenly her eyes widened in disbelief. Then, in a somewhat broken rage, she scolded, 'Eat? Zhou Ming, have you never eaten before? Why did we wait for you all morning and you didn't get up? As soon as you get up, we're going to Shengna Private Dining Room to eat. Don't you know that this is the most dangerous time for you? You don't have much time left. Can't you put down your chopsticks and get on with what you need to do? The shares in the Tang Dynasty Bank are beckoning you!'

Tang An scolded and scolded, finally snarling, and Wood advised him, 'We mustn't get anxious now. Perhaps the other party is waiting for us to make a mistake by getting anxious.'

Tang Jingming also said, 'Yes, it's only noon, there's still plenty of time, maybe after they eat they'll get down to business.'

So with this guiding principle, Wood Tang An and Tang Jingming began to wait again. Unfortunately, however, Zhou Ming's actions once again drove them crazy.

At around 1:30 pm, Ming Zhou, Ran Tang and Jingsheng Tang and Huiyin Tang left the St. Nella's Private Dining Room. They first went to the Mazu Temple in Chinatown to pay their respects, ate a lot of Chinatown snacks, and then drove to Stanford University to attend the High-Tech Expo. At 5 pm, they finally arrived at the Fisherman's Wharf, where they ordered the most luxurious seafood dinner.

When he heard that Zhou Ming and the others had started enjoying the evening concert after dinner at the Fisherman's Wharf, Tang An couldn't help but drop the phone: 'What the hell is this Zhou Ming up to? Is he playing a joke on us by going around in circles today?'

Tang Jingming speculated: 'It's true that their behaviour over the past two days has been really strange. It's as if they're really on holiday. It's really puzzling. I wonder if they know we've been keeping an eye on them these past few days, so they're doing it on purpose?'

'They must be doing it on purpose!' Tang An said firmly, but then he contradicted himself, 'But doesn't that guy care about time? The results of the investigation into the flow of their funds were due tomorrow, but why did they not seem to be in any hurry?

Tang An felt crazy at this extremely strange attitude, and he pulled his hair hard, screaming loudly.

Faced with Tang An's behaviour, Wood and Tang Jingming didn't know what to do either, because Zhou Ming's inexplicable actions really made people want to go crazy. It made them feel as if they were the ones who were mentally disabled or if the other person is the one who is retarded. If they could, they would even want to grab Zhou Ming and smash open his skull with a sledgehammer, just to see what was going on inside his head.

With such a tight schedule, they are all nervous to death, so what makes you so carefree, Zhou Ming?

This was the question that Wood and Tang Jingming had in common, but of course they didn't know that Zhou Ming's actions over the past three days could be described as deliberate or unintentional. At this time, at the Fisherman's Wharf Music Square, Zhou Ming, Tang Ran, Tang Jingsheng and Tang Huiyin were sitting in a luxurious VIP booth, watching a famous musician opposite them perform. At the Fisherman's Wharf Music Square, Zhou Ming, Tang Ran, Tang Jingsheng and Tang Huiyin were sitting in a luxurious booth, watching a famous musician play the Violin Sonata in G minor opposite.

As she listened to the sonata, which was said to have been inspired by the devil, Tang Ran said to Zhou Ming with emotion, 'Brother Ming, this piece is really beautiful, and these past few days have been very happy. If only every day could be like this!'

Zhou Ming laughed and gave her a little nudge on the nose, saying, 'I wish it could be like this, but unfortunately our good times will come to an end today!'

'Brother Ming, do you mean that tomorrow Wood and those bad guys like Tang An will find out the flow of funds transferred out of our overseas accounts?' Tang Ran pouted in dissatisfaction, 'Those guys are really annoying! It's been such a long time, and they're still so persistent in pursuing us.'

'They're definitely persistent, but I'm afraid they're also mad as hell now,' Zhou Ming said.

Tang Jingsheng turned his head and asked, 'Are you so sure that they will definitely keep spying on us?'

Zhou Ming spread his hands: 'Of course, because I think if Uncle Tang were in your place, you would definitely do the same. After all, we are in control of the initiative now, and they can do nothing about it, they can only keep a close eye on us. Apart from the people keeping an eye on us, I'm afraid that the shares issued by Tang Bank on the stock market and all the companies that have done business with Tang Bank in the past three days are also keeping an eye on us!'

'But they are doomed to be useless! will end up being used by Ming to keep us company everywhere!' Tang Ran said with a giggle.

Amidst Tang Ran's laughter, Tang Huiyin suddenly said, 'Zhou Ming, your friends Lin Muqing and Tong Gang Li Cheng, they will definitely be able to do a good job, right?'

'That of course!' Zhou Ming replied with a smile. "But just as Wood Tong An and the others have determined, our time is indeed a bit too rushed. I just don't know if they will get their results first or we will get things done first starting tomorrow." A good place to read and socialize!
