"Could it be that Zhao Yue didn’t transfer the money to me?"

Zheng Yu was filled with anxiety and ultimately suspected that there was no money in the account.

She hesitated for a long time.

But she still didn’t dare to call Zhao Yue to ask, and instead dialed another number.

[Contact: Zhao Hailong!]

Looking at this number, Zheng Yu didn’t hesitate and directly clicked to dial.

"Beep beep beep beep~"

The sound of waiting felt like it was urging for her life, making each breath heavier with every ring.

For a long time...

The call was connected.

"Hello? Yu, what’s up?" Zhao Hailong’s voice came through the speaker.

Zheng Yu didn’t say anything, and straightforwardly said:

"Uncle Zhao, I’m in urgent need of money here... Can you transfer me some money?"

Zhao Hailong was silent for a moment, then replied, "How much?"

"Twenty thousand," Zheng Yu said.

"Twenty thousand?"

Zhao Hailong paused for a moment, then agreed.

"Hold on."

"Beep!"

The call was hung up.

Zheng Yu waited happily for the transfer record.

With twenty thousand, she had already planned what to do with the remaining ten thousand.

"First, set up a deal at the bar, then go to KTV..."

She thought about it like this.

Shortly after, the phone rang again, and she instinctively answered.

As soon as the call connected, a voice immediately sounded.

"Yu, what’s going on there?"

Zhao Hailong’s urgent tone came through.

"Wha..." Zheng Yu was stunned and instinctively sensed something was wrong, "What do you mean what’s going on?"

"The money... can’t be transferred!"

...

"The money can’t be transferred!"

In Jiang City.

At the bank across from Jianghe Disabled Shelter Institution.

In front of the ATM, Zhao Hailong was calling while frowning.

He looked at the message displayed in front of him [Account Abnormal], his brow furrowed deeply.

He tried again, but unfortunately... still couldn’t transfer!

"No, it can’t be transferred!"

Zhao Hailong immediately realized there was a problem with the other party’s account.

Zheng Yu was a bit anxious.

She had to repay in the next two days, if she didn’t... Zhao Yue would find out, and the accumulating interest was terrifying!

Now that Zhao Hailong said he couldn’t give the money...

"Uncle Zhao, is there really no way!?"

Zheng Yu clutched her phone, her tone a bit flustered.

"What if you transfer a smaller amount!?"

"Fifteen thousand... no, nine thousand, nine thousand will do!"

There was a peculiar look in Zhao Hailong’s eyes.

Nine thousand? A very specific number.

"What did you do!?" Zhao Hailong realized something and hurriedly asked.

"Why exactly nine thousand?"

Zheng Yu was at a loss for words and stammered: "I... I...."

Zhao Hailong’s gaze sharpened, his tone grew stern and irrefutable:

"If something happened, just tell me, Uncle has your back. If you don’t tell me, I won’t even know how to solve it!"

Upon hearing this.

Zheng Yu gritted her teeth and said tremblingly:

"Uncle, I... I borrowed some high-interest loans."

"I have to repay today, if I can’t repay..."

Saying this, Zheng Yu was so anxious that she suddenly burst into tears, sobbing:

"If I can’t repay, they told me... they’d make me go sell!"

Go sell?

Isn’t your personal life already like selling!

Zhao Hailong wanted to curse, but he held it back, he seemed to understand something now.

Calming down:

"Probably the high-interest loan was detected by the bank, and along with your transfer record, it led to the account being doubly frozen."

Double freezing, money from outside can’t go in, and money from inside can’t come out...

"What to do now, Uncle Zhao, they said they’re coming for me tonight, I only have six hundred in cash on me now, I..." Zheng Yu cried and wailed.

Zhao Hailong thought for a moment, then came up with a solution.

"Here’s the plan."

"I’ll transfer twenty thousand to your mom, let her take the card and travel to you."

"By then, you pay back the principal and never borrow again in this life."

Zheng Yu breathed a sigh of relief, but then she became worried, "But if my mom finds out I borrowed high-interest loans..."

"I can’t leave now, only your mom can find you!"

Zhao Hailong’s tone was firm and irrefutable.

Hearing this, Zheng Yu didn’t insist anymore.

"Alright... alright then," Zheng Yu said, still sobbing.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Hailong didn’t say anything further and directly hung up the phone.

And behind him.

At this moment, Cheng Jia and Zhang Yong, who had been waiting for him to return, also approached, looking at his expression, asking in puzzlement:

"What’s the matter?"

Cheng Jia’s face showed suspicion.

"Zheng Yu’s card has been frozen over there."

"I transferred twenty thousand yuan to Zhao Yue, asking her to take care of some matters."

Zhao Hailong casually explained while swiping his card and dialing the phone.

[Contact: Zhao Yue!]

"Ring, ring, ring~"

The phone rang for a few seconds before being answered.

"Hello? Brother Zhao?" A middle-aged woman’s voice rang out.

"Yu owes some money over there, and her account has been frozen. I’m transferring some money to you now, so you can take it to Qingshi City to repay it for her."

Zhao Hailong directly stated his purpose.

Zhao Yue on the other end was momentarily stunned.

Then she suddenly became angry, her voice carrying a trace of fury.

"Owes money!?"

"Isn’t there enough money at home for her to spend!? I give her ten thousand a month!"

"How is she still owing money outside!? No way, I have to...."

Zhao Hailong was about to stop her, telling her to handle the matter first.

But as soon as...

When he clicked to transfer funds, a familiar prompt appeared.

[Abnormal account!]

He was immediately stunned.

Is it... frozen!?

"Your account is frozen!? What have you been doing these past few days?"

Zhao Hailong asked urgently.

"What freezing? I haven’t done anything, I only go to the bank every month to transfer money to Yu..." Zhao Yue was also puzzled.

Then...

Why is it frozen?

Zhao Hailong realized something was amiss, and quickly asked for information on the rest of her bank cards.

Then he tried transferring money to Zhao Yue’s other cards, but...

All showed account abnormalities!

"All frozen!?"

"Frozen without any warning?"

He couldn’t help but show a hint of surprise, with an expression of disbelief.

"All frozen?"

Zhao Yue was also panicking, with little cash in hand, if the cards were frozen... she’d probably struggle to eat in a couple of days!

"I... I haven’t done anything!" she urgently said.

Frozen even though nothing was done.

Zhao Hailong paused, suddenly realizing something, and instinctively turned to Cheng Jia.

Only to see her also in shock, speaking:

"Is this..."

"Judicial freeze!?"

Normally, one account being frozen shouldn’t implicate others.

Such a large-scale freeze could only be a judicial authority! 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Related to Zhao Yue and Zheng Yu...

"Zheng Shijie!!!"

Zhao Hailong uttered three words.

In an instant, his entire face turned grim.

Only Zheng Shijie could implicate them both!

That means....

"What’s up with him!?" Cheng Jia grew anxious.

Zheng Shijie knows quite a bit, and they thought a fifteen-year sentence marked the end, who knew it’d now involve Zhao Yue and Zheng Yu.

The freezing implies the authorities see the money as dirty money, and the source of this money...

Cannot be scrutinized!

"Sister Zhao, have you visited Zheng Shijie recently!?"

Zhao Hailong quickly asked, his breathing becoming labored.

For five years, assets were inexplicably frozen by the police...

There’s a good chance Zheng Shijie said something!

Might it implicate him?

"I... I don’t know!"

"I saw him just last week, he seemed okay, just slimmer." Zhao Yue was a bit flustered.

Her cards were frozen.

This meant she had very little money she could use.

But Zheng Yu couldn’t wait there!

The creditors would really come to collect, then on Zheng Yu’s side....

Thinking of this, Zhao Yue grew increasingly anxious.

"What should I do?"

"Should I go see him?"

Zhao Hailong thought for a long time, nodded, "Go to the detention center to see him, make sure to find out clearly!"

She nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay, I’ll go as soon as they open...as soon as the detention center opens!"

If there’s a problem with Zheng Shijie...

None of them would get away!

Thinking of this, anxiety filled Zhao Hailong’s heart.

He thought with Xu Liang gone, the case would remain under wraps.

But how could there still be police involvement now...

"Could it be Xu Liang? He hasn’t left yet?" Zhang Yong suddenly spoke.

"Do you know what the law firm’s suspension and rectification implies!?"

Seeing the ’culprit’ still dare to speak, Zhao Hailong shouted in anger.

If it weren’t for him... Zheng Shijie wouldn’t have been caught!

Zhang Yong said nothing, shrinking his head, timidly.

Cheng Jia stepped forward, gently comforting:

"Don’t worry, it should be fine."

He paused, finally taking a deep breath.

"Let’s hope so."

Zheng Shijie... must hold his tongue!
