Chapter 322 Wang Chao's Scheme



Wang Chao looked at the elderly lady and Li Hong, his mind racing as he pondered how to set a trap for these two individuals.

"Yes, yes, your grandmother is right. You have great talent, and you must never give up," Li Hong nodded in agreement as well.

They both wanted to see the Wang family go bankrupt and unable to afford the big house, as that would bring them joy and an opportunity to buy the Guanyin jade from Li Han at a low price.

Wang Chao pretended to be excited and unwilling to give up. He said, "Grandmother and uncle are right. I don't want to give up either, but I don't have money to invest in stocks."

"How about this, grandmother, uncle? You must have a lot of money if you can immigrate abroad. So, could you lend me some money to turn things around?"

The elderly lady and Li Hong's expressions changed upon hearing this.

"How much do you want to borrow?" the elderly lady asked.

Wang Chao smiled, raising three fingers and said, "Not much, just 30 million yuan!"

"If you can lend me 30 million yuan, I can make 300 million!"

"What? Wang Chao, have you gone mad?" the elderly lady's face turned pale.

"Grandmother, I've been watching that stock for a long time. I'm sure it will bring huge profits!" Wang Chao said confidently. "You both said I have talent in this area, so you must believe in me. I will definitely turn things around!"

"Besides, grandmother, uncle, I am your family. You wouldn't refuse to lend me, right?"

"Or maybe, when you said you believed in me earlier, it was just a lie?"

Upon hearing this, the elderly lady and Li Hong immediately wore an expression as ugly as if they had swallowed a toad alive.

They never imagined that their plan to trap Wang Chao would backfire and end up with Wang Chao asking them for money.

Now, they were stuck in a difficult position. Neither lending nor not lending was a good option.

It was 30 million yuan we were talking about!

Given Wang Chao's current financial situation, if he really lost everything in the stock market, how would they ever get that money back?

Moreover, they were preparing to immigrate, and they would need a large amount of money to grease the wheels and establish connections in the White Eagle Country. How could they easily lend out the money?

Wang Chao saw their expressions and found it amusing. He said, "Grandmother, uncle, I really have had my eye on that stock for a long time. If you could just lend me..."

"No, no, no, we are close relatives, and I am your junior. It wouldn't be right to borrow from you," Wang Chao interrupted.

"Here's what we can do. Consider this 30 million yuan as my investment. If I make 3 billion, I'll split half with you!"

"That would be 150 million yuan, which, when converted to Eagle Coins in the White Eagle Country, would be at least 20 million yuan. That would be enough for you to live there for a long time."

Upon hearing this, the elderly lady and Li Hong's faces turned dark.

A security guard in debt of 1 million yuan, constantly talking about billions, being so arrogant and conceited—it was a sure path to his own destruction.

He actually expected them to invest in such a foolish idea. It was nothing but wishful thinking.

If they actually put money into it, they would probably lose everything.

The most important thing is that Wang Chao turned borrowing money into an investment, which means that even if Wang Chao loses all the money, he doesn't have to repay them.

It's a trap!

Wang Chao's intentions are clear as day!

The elderly lady glanced at Li Han standing by the side and realized that she hadn't acquired Li Han's Guanyin jade yet. It wouldn't be wise to offend Wang Chao at this point. She suppressed her displeasure and disdain and said, "Wang Chao, it's good that you have confidence, but you need to be grounded."

"Here's what we can do. I'll give you 100,000 yuan for now. You can start slowly in the stock market and accumulate funds. Is that acceptable?"

"No, grandmother, it's a deal worth 3 billion yuan. Don't you desire to invest? Don't you believe in me? You should support me!" Wang Chao said.

The elderly lady's face grew even darker.

Support you?

If I support you, should I still go to the White Eagle Country?

A deal worth 3 billion yuan, who do you think you are?

Li Hong stood up, smiled at Wang Chao, and said, "Well, Wang Chao, 30 million yuan is not a small amount. Let me discuss it with your grandmother, and we'll give you an answer later."

He then pulled the elderly lady and walked to a secluded corner to discuss.

"Mom, how about we invest 1 million yuan in him?" Li Hong suggested.

"Are you crazy? Give money to Wang Chao?" the elderly lady frowned.

Why should we give Wang Chao a million yuan just like that?

"Mom, if you desire to catch fish, you have to spend money on bait."

Li Hong's eyes gleamed with cunning as he said, "We provide him with the money, and when he loses it all, we'll come up with a reason, saying that lending to Wang Chao made our company unable to operate smoothly, leading to almost going bankrupt."

"That way, we can deceive Li Han and make her hand over the gemstone to us."

The elderly lady's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

This plan seemed feasible indeed.

She smirked and said, "You have so many wicked ideas. Alright, let's do it this way. We must deceive Li Han and get our hands on that gemstone before we leave the country."

Inside the villa, in the living room.

Li Han also took Wang Chao to the kitchen and spoke in a low voice, "Wang Chao, this is too much, isn't it?"

"Your grandmother and uncle rarely visit, and you ask them for money? And you ask for 30 million yuan at once. Do you think money is that easy to earn?"

Wang Chao remained calm and took out a bottle of cola from the fridge. "Mom, can not you see it? They're after your Guanyin jade. They do not genuinely care about you."

"You are talking nonsense. Didn't you see how many gifts your uncle brought? I just checked, they're all high-end brands."

"High-end brands? Heh, with their personalities, do you think they would bring anything good for our family? I guarantee that when we open the packages later, they will contain low-quality products."

"Wang Chao, I know you have grievances against Grandma and Uncle, but we are still family. I carry Grandma's blood in me, and while they might look down on us, they would not harm us," Li Han said.

"Mom, you are too kind. They may be our relatives, but they have dark hearts. They wish for nothing but our downfall and the bankruptcy of our family," Wang Chao replied, sipping his cola casually. "These heartless relatives are even scarier than enemies."

"They have a strong sense of superiority. When they see us living in misery, they have no sympathy, only mockery."

"But as soon as they see us doing better than them, they turn green with envy and hope for our bankruptcy."

As he spoke, he took some Chinese herbal medicines from the fridge, crushed them into powder, and put them in his pocket.

"What nonsense are you talking about? How could Grandma and Uncle be like that?" Li Han asked.

"Mom, open your eyes. That's exactly who they are," Wang Chao replied.

"You--" Li Han wanted to say more.

At that moment, the elderly lady and Li Hong approached.

Helpless, Li Han had no choice but to stop speaking and glared at Wang Chao.

"Grandma, Uncle, have you made your decision?" Wang Chao smiled at them.

"Wang Chao, here's what we'll do. Grandma will lend you 1 million yuan, and Uncle will sponsor you with 2 million yuan, making a total of 3 million yuan. You can start trading stocks slowly, and when you make a profit, you can share it with us, alright?" Li Hong proposed.

"But my investment requires..." Wang Chao pretended to hesitate.

"Wang Chao, Grandma and Uncle do not have that much money. 3 million yuan is the maximum cash we can provide. If you don't desire it, then we won't sponsor you," Li Hong countered, using a strategic retreat.

"Okay, okay, I'll take it," Wang Chao quickly agreed.

The elderly lady and Li Hong were pleased to see this.

They thought Wang Chao had some special ability, but it turns out he's just a stock market addict. Such a person is easy to manipulate!

Li Hong smiled faintly and said, "Alright, give me your bank card, and I'll transfer the 3 million yuan to you right now!"

Wang Chao provided the bank card number.

Soon, the 3 million yuan was transferred.

Wang Chao looked at the money in his account, beaming with joy. "Thank you, Grandma. Thank you, Uncle."

"You are both so good to me. Wait a moment, I'll go make tea for you as a token of gratitude."

After saying that, he immediately went to the living room, poured two cups of tea, and added the powdered medicine from his pocket. He stirred it, ensuring that the powder completely dissolved in the pale yellow tea.

Once everything was done, he carried the two cups of tea and handed them to the elderly lady and Li Hong. "Grandma, Uncle, thank you. Enjoy your tea."
