The Wealthy Tycoon's Game of Life

Chapter 1691: Chapter 687: ”Incident

”Minister Xu, if the very important thing you are talking about is regarding Zhou Wang, then I think more than just Sister Qingkui should be qualified to listen, right?”

Before Jiang Qingkui could respond, Ding Yi had already spoken up.

Xu Wenqian did not know Ding Yi, only having a vague impression of her appearing at a charity gala, but she believed they had not interacted.

Although she had followed Zhou Wang for long enough and had ample means to learn about Zhou Wang’s ”lover,” she had never purposely done so.

In fact, she mostly actively avoided these matters.

She just wanted to quietly stay by the boss’s side, regarding the topic of whom the boss would marry in the future, it was obviously best if it was Sister Qingkui... But if it were someone else, Xu Wenqian didn’t care, as long as the boss still needed her.

So when Ding Yi’s sharp eyes were cast over, causing the other women in the room to also look her way, Xu Wenqian was somewhat at a loss.

She didn’t know why the other party knew her, and could accurately call her position in the group, seeming to have specially learned about her...

Hearing the words, unsure if she should agree, Xu Wenqian turned her pleading gaze towards Jiang Qingkui.

Jiang Qingkui hesitated slightly because Xu Wenqian’s silence had already told her that the matter she was about to discuss was indeed related to Zhou Wang.

Jiang Qingkui certainly hoped only she would know, but now with this situation, to conceal from others would surely lead to conflicts, but right now Jiang Qingkui still needed to rely on Ding Yi and others’ strength to find Zhou Wang’s whereabouts, this was not the best time to fall out with them...

So after simply weighing the pros and cons, Jiang Qingkui decided to say, ”Wenqian, just say it here, it’s alright.”

Xu Wenqian nodded, not insisting, because she knew if she were in their position, she would also desperately want to know everything about Zhou Wang.

Facing the diverse gazes in the office, Xu Wenqian took a deep breath and slowly said, ”Boss... might truly be in trouble.”

”In trouble?”

”What trouble!”

”Is brother okay...”

As soon as Xu Wenqian started speaking, the women in the office showed signs of becoming frantic, various wild thoughts flashing in their minds, those with poor control over expressions, like Cui Min’er, even appeared somewhat panicked.

Thunk!

It was the dull thud of the water cup in Jiang Mo’s hand dropping onto the carpet.

”It’s not that his health has any issue, he’s fine.”

Xu Wenqian knew her words might have caused a misunderstanding, hurriedly correcting.

Only then did the noise in the office lower considerably, with simultaneous indications from Jiang Qingkui and Ding Yi, everyone gradually quieted down, waiting for Xu Wenqian to continue.

”I... I don’t know how to explain this matter, it started when on the plane back from Korea, boss suddenly discussed a topic with me, that is, if one day, he had not so much money anymore, he... suddenly became an ordinary person, what would I do then?”

”At first I thought boss was just joking, but later upon thinking, he looked too serious, with an underlying... desolation, I suppose it’s that kind of emotion, I was constantly feeling uneasy in my heart, because in my impression, boss always appeared spirited, as if nothing in the world could be difficult for him.”

”So Wenqian, is this why you insisted on asking me that question that day?”

Upon hearing, Jiang Qingkui seemed to remember something, interrupting.

”Yes... but after hearing Sister Qingkui’s answer then, I also felt the possibility of such a thing happening was too low, so I didn’t think much.”

Xu Wenqian pursed her lips and said, ”Until today, since the morning, I couldn’t contact the boss, but I asked Ying Tao, the boss was at home, and some guests went to visit him, overall, I felt something wasn’t right back then...”

”But at that time, I also had work to busy myself with, so I didn’t think much, later until eleven in the morning, I suddenly received a call from the bank...”

”A call from the bank? What did they say?”

This time Ding Yi, absorbed in listening, couldn’t help but ask urgently.

”It was from the boss’s personal customer service at Zhao Hang Magic City Branch, saying they couldn’t contact Mr. Zhou, asked me to pass the message to him, because the freeze instruction was issued directly from the head office, they were also investigating the reason...”

”Freeze?!”

This time, more than one woman spoke out, all because of that inexplicably bizarre keyword.

”Yes, freeze... I then also thought I heard wrong, confirmed repeatedly, the personal customer service explained that around nine this morning, the boss’s personal account had entered a frozen state, directly instructed by the head office, they didn’t know what it was about either.”

”Did Mr. Zhou incur a lawsuit?”

Qi Jiayi gave the first association, generally speaking, account freezes involve one of two things, either judicial freeze or a risk control freeze caused by abnormal financial activities.

But Zhou Wang evidently could not be involved with scams, money laundering or anything related, so it seemed the conclusion was only the first one.

”I don’t know, later I also contacted another bank that had business dealings with the boss, which is Ming City Commercial Bank, and found that the accounts belonging to the boss there were also frozen...”

”What?”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Qingkui finally showed a hint of seriousness.

If a bank account freeze might involve some accidental, coincidental factor, but if two banks are facing such a situation, it can only indicate that Zhou Wang indeed has encountered some issues, causing such a chain reaction.
