"You guessed right, this is information about the private equity fund. They are registered abroad, but all the capital flows come from the domestic market and they all accumulate to a small number. The people that they participate in are all ordinary commoners."

Xu Mengyun took out a piece of information. Other than the direction of the funds and evaluation, there was also their advertising, which gave him a monthly rate of return of 12%. With such a high profit, it's no wonder that it would attract such a large number of ordinary people to invest in it.

"Han Yuqi is very smart, at least in terms of attracting funds, he is indeed a talent, he bought the funds from the bank's fund manager and paid the bill, transferring the money from the customer to his private equity fund and completed his first round of accumulation. After that, these people helped him spread the news, in a short span of two to three months, the total amount of funds raised rose to over a hundred million, which is rare in the entire business world."

She didn't think that he would actually be able to rely on the few hundred thousand in his hands to make a comeback. If she knew that this would happen, she would have pushed Bai Youya into a dead end and wouldn't give her a chance to take a breather. This time, they had gathered so much money that it was likely for them to retaliate against Tian Ao and the Xu Group.

"He really does have some skill, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to become the vice president of Heavenly Pride. It's just too bad that it wasn't used on the right path."

Ouyang Jue closed the file. As expected, Han Yuqi was playing with fire, absorbing the funds with a high interest rate, and then using the funds provided by the people behind to pay the interest to the people in front of him, he did not actually invest in them in any way. This kind of play would happen sooner or later.

Furthermore, all the documents that were signed and signed, including the company's registration, were all made by Han Yuqi. That Miss Bai only spent money to enjoy it, and never touched anything within the company.

Ouyang Jue let out a heavy sigh. It was unknown what kind of seductive skills that Miss Bai used to actually make Han Yuqi risk his life for her. The last time Ning Caier was fine, it was because the plaintiffs involved in the case were big investors. This kind of situation was extremely complicated to handle, not to mention that the fake was fake.

However, Han Yuqi was different this time, all the people he scammed were ordinary people, the amount of money involved was huge and there were many people involved, so such a case would definitely be treated as a major investigation, and at that time, he would have to be imprisoned for at least ten or so years. But the worst case scenario was these Investor s, the money would definitely be transferred to Bai Youya, and they would not be able to take it back at all.

Furthermore, Ouyang Jue always had a bad premonition. He and Bai Youya definitely wouldn't be willing to take this money and disappear, but rather cause an even bigger commotion in the business world, and let everyone know that they had arrogantly returned.

"Have they returned?"

Ouyang Jue finally understood why Xu Mengyun asked him to leave. They had not heard any news from him for a long time, and the reason why they suddenly received such clear information must be because they had made their move inside the country. If Ning Caier heard this news, she would know that he had been lying to her.

"I haven't seen any of them yet, but the entry and exit records show that they have returned. Moreover, they used their original identities. As for where they went after returning to the country, I'm still investigating."

Xu Mengyun didn't want to get involved in this sort of thing. To be able to investigate a person's whereabouts so accurately, the amount of favors spent was no small matter. All of these favors had to be slowly repaid;

"Thank you, Mengyun." It turns out that Xu Mengyun had done all of this for him. He knew that she owed Xu Mengyun too much, but he still couldn't give her the things she wanted in the end.

It was just that since things had turned out this way, Ning Caier's leaving and staying had become a troublesome problem. Ouyang Jue originally wanted her to make a new appearance in the country this time, and re-establish the company to take over the business from before, but he didn't think that now, with such a complicated situation, he wanted her to return as soon as possible. Before he found out about Han Yuqi's scheme, he didn't want Ning Caier to find out where that man's whereabouts were.

Even though he had told Ning Caier that he had gone to work abroad and was unable to contact her for the time being, that did not stop her from reminiscing about his and Han Yuqi's past.

Ning Caier actually went to the courtyard house in the western suburbs to help Han Yuqi tidy up the rooms, but upon entering, she realised that the place had already been turned into ruins. Although it had been covered by a few months of dust, one could still see the obvious burn marks and collapsed house beams.

"Yu Qi!" Ning Caier shouted in panic, the courtyard could be seen from beginning to end without any concealment, she did not even need to rummage through to know that there were no longer any traces of human life here. She almost suspected that she had walked into the wrong place, and that it was only after she had walked around the area that she was sure it was the right place.

Ning Caier thought about how Ouyang Jue had kept him from talking with him, and suddenly felt that something was wrong. Maybe a few months ago, something had already happened to him, it was only because Ouyang Jue did not want her to know that Han Yuqi had been working abroad.

Ning Caier anxiously took out her phone, wanting to ask Ouyang Jue for the reason. However, she thought that he would definitely find a reason to explain things, and would never find out the truth from him, so she decided to investigate on her own to find out the real situation of these houses.

There were a few families near Han Yuqi's courtyard. When the big fire from that night was mentioned, everyone had a deep impression of it, but they all kept complaining, because the big fire was too strong, and it was unavoidable that it would harm the families next to them. However, after the fire was extinguished, they couldn't contact the original owner of the house.

"Has no one been here since the fire?"

The more Ning Caier listened, the more she felt that something was amiss. Although it was a good thing that the police did not find the corpse, but this was a man-made arson case, Han Yuqi did not participate in any investigations nor did he request for any compensation. This was completely illogical, if Ouyang Jue truly had a proper arrangement for him, then why would he ignore this courtyard for so long?

Ning Caier understood Ouyang Jue, he had always done things from beginning to end, and she would definitely help others to the end. Now that she had done this, it was definitely because this matter was only a scam, he had never helped Han Yuqi, nor arranged for him to work abroad.

When he thought of this, Ning Caier's heart felt like a knife was being stabbed. She felt that it was all her fault, and that this was the only reason why Han Yuqi had suffered such an injury. If she hadn't heard Ouyang Jue's lie and returned earlier, she might have already found him.

"How could anyone come here when everything is burned down? We already went to investigate and even this piece of land was mortgaged. The owner of this house probably wanted to run away so he burned it down before he left." Miss, who are you, and why are you inquiring about him? "

The surrounding residents were furious and indignant when they heard about Han Yuqi, they looked at Ning Caier with suspicion, but she did not look like someone who was in deep love with him, so they immediately exchanged glances and closed the courtyard door behind them. They had always been looking for someone to compensate for their losses, but now they had finally caught one, how could they let her go?

"I'm his girlfriend. If he has any news, can you notify me?" Ning Caier didn't know what these people were thinking, but her answer was exactly what everyone wanted. She was the one they were looking for, and since she was the girlfriend of the owner of this courtyard, they could only look for her for their losses.

"Miss, we don't want to make things difficult for you, but we cannot be implicated by the owner of this courtyard for nothing. Today, you better obediently compensate us for our losses, otherwise, the next time we see that man, he will definitely break his legs."

After everyone heard that they could get compensation, they all rushed into the courtyard. In each of their hands were the bills that they had just written down, but of course, the amount was more than a few times more than what they had actually destroyed at that time. They wanted Ning Caier to sign the bill and confirm it before following her to get the money.

"I'll compensate you. I only hope that you don't harm Yu Qi." When Ning Caier heard that they were going to break Han Yuqi's legs, she was extremely nervous, so she didn't look for the amount they promised and only hoped that when these villagers saw Han Yuqi, they would tell him that all their debts had been paid so that he could come back to find her sooner.

"I never thought that he would have such a passionate girlfriend. Don't worry, as long as we get compensation, we will definitely tell him that everything will be fine here."

The villagers promised loudly. They looked at the clothes and accessories on Ning Caier's body and felt that she must have accumulated a lot of money and that they would be able to get their compensation soon. Of course they would agree to anything.

But when Ning Caier took out the calculator to calculate the amount of compensation, she realized that she could not possibly take out that amount of money immediately, because the compensation that these people wanted was actually five hundred thousand.

"I can't take out that much money right now. How about I write all of you an IOU …" Ning Caier could only take out a hundred thousand or so gold. Even if she took off her own watch necklace, she could not gather that much money, so she hoped that these people could give her some time to raise her money.

"This won't do, look at how you're dressed! You can't even take out five hundred thousand yuan, you're obviously messing with us!" They felt that Ning Caier must still have some money, and was just unwilling to take it out. Hence, they surrounded her, grabbed her phone number, and prepared to call her one by one, telling her family members to come over to give her the money.

But when they opened the phone, there were already a dozen missed calls, all from the same number.

"Ouyang Jue? Is it that arrogant CEO Ouyang Jue? " One of the villagers was extremely excited when he saw Ouyang Jue's phone number. There was no one in the city who did not know of this name, so not to mention five hundred thousand, even five million would not be a problem.

"You can't call him!" Ning Caier shouted loudly, she did not want Ouyang Jue to know of her situation, but no one paid attention to her, the leader of the villagers made a call, and the bell inside rang once before being picked up.
