Chapter 1013: Disguised Company

“That means those companies have always been cautious, so they can only be said to be ordinary. If Jiang Hai really invested, then he won’t be able to earn much money by relying on this.” Jiang Yu frowned, “He values money so much. It’s impossible that he can’t understand such a simple logic.”
Speaking of this, Mo Long thought of something even stranger. “This is also a strange question. Ever since those companies registered, they haven’t sold animal fur. But they have persisted for so long and haven’t closed down yet. Therefore, the police and I suspect that these companies aren’t selling animal fur at all.”
“Then what are they?” Jiang Yu was puzzled. “They’re not a company that sells animal fur, and they’re not a company that makes money. Then what’s the reason for Jiang Hai’s investment?”
“We are now wondering if Jiang Hai really invested in these companies.”
“Jiang Hai would never do such a brainless thing.” Based on Jiang Yu’s understanding of Jiang Hai, if these companies really could not make a profit, Jiang Hai would not even look at those companies, let alone invest in them.
However, these companies clearly could not make a profit, but Jiang Hai still had dealings with them. This was enough to prove that things were not as simple as they seemed.
“The police have already begun to focus on investigating these companies. I don’t know what the final result will be,” Mo Long said.
“There is indeed something wrong with these companies,” Jiang Yu said. From the corner of her eye, she saw Kang Xue and Lu Qi playing “Guess” on the side.
Kang Xue clenched her fists, letting Lu Qi guess which hand had the lollipop.
Jiang Yu paused for a moment, and a thought flashed through his mind. He suddenly understood a problem.
“These companies… have you ever thought that these companies might be the usury companies that Jiang Hai has been contacting?”
Once these words were said, not only did Mo Long on the other side of the phone fall silent, but even Lu Qi and the others on the side also fell silent.
Seeing that Mo Long did not respond for a long time, Jiang Yu asked curiously, “Why are you not speaking?”
Mo Long then slowly said, “It’s not impossible. I will explain this matter to the police and get them to pay attention to it.”
“Okay. I heard that your voice sounded very tired. You must pay attention to rest for the next few days,” Jiang Yu instructed. “I have been at school the whole time and can’t go back. I won’t be able to take care of you for a while.”
“Okay.” Mo Long chuckled. “If anything happens to Jiang Hai, I will let you know immediately.”
“Okay,” Jiang Yu agreed.
After hanging up the phone, Dai Zhu asked her own question, “Jiang Yu, why are those companies called loan-sharking companies? Aren’t they the companies that sell animal fur?”
“But the police found that those companies have never sold animal fur since they registered,” Jiang Yu repeated what Mo Long said.
“Ah? But it can’t be said that this is a usury company, right?” Dai Zhu was still puzzled. “This is Shanghai. If they dare to set up a company here, aren’t they courting death?”
“Not necessarily,” Jiang Yu explained. “The usury company disguises itself as an ordinary company so that it won’t stand out even in a big city like Shanghai. Everyone understands the principle of ‘wealth comes from risk’. If you really want to get money, how can you not take risks?”
“I understand,” Lu Qi suddenly understood. “And the phrase ‘the most dangerous place is the safest place’ refers to this group of fugitives.”
“Yes.” Jiang Yu smiled slightly and snapped her fingers.
“But this is also a guess, right?” Dai Zhu asked. “After all, we have no evidence.”
“Although it’s a guess, it’s not far from the truth.” Jiang Yu’s eyes were shining, “It doesn’t make sense for Jiang Hai to be willing to invest in a depressed industry. He has been hiding the truth about Wei Juan, which is enough to prove that he has a guilty conscience. Recently, he has only been to the jewelry company and the so-called ‘animal companies.’ These two points can prove that those companies are not serious places.”
“In that case, what is Jiang Hai’s purpose of borrowing money from usury?” Dai Zhu was confused again, “The jewelry company is fine and hasn’t invested in any messy projects. Then why did he borrow money from usury? Doesn’t he know that usury is illegal?”
Speaking of this, Jiang Yu couldn’t figure it out either.
Jiang Hai did love money, but it wasn’t to the point of risking his life.
If he didn’t pay back the loan shark, he would be beaten to death. If he was caught by the police, he would spend the rest of his life in prison.
