An hour later, Xia Lei received a phone call from Anjum Khan.
“She went into a bank and got in touch with a man,” said Anjum Khan.
“A man?” Xia Lei was curious. “What does he look like?”
“He’s in his fifties, balding and wears gla.s.ses. He seems like a professor or researcher. You know, people like that seem kind of neurotic.”
“Do you think so?” asked Xia Lei.
“Yeah, that"s what it feels like, a little neurotic,” said Anjum Khan.
Xia Lei was more than curious. The answer raised his suspicion. Could he be hearing voices like Ning Jing?
“They went into the VIP room. I can’t get in.”
“Stay outside then. Let me know when she comes out,” said Xia Lei.
Anjum Khan hung up the phone.
Ning Jing was probably going in to withdraw the ten million dollars. However, she was probably going to transfer it to another account. Ten million dollars was not a small amount. If she were to withdraw it in cash, it would have to be stored in crates.
“Which account would she transfer the money to?” Xia Lei was extremely concerned about his money. He was worried that the money would be missing just like that. He was also worried about Ning Jing. She was such a timid girl and she brought a large amount of money to India alone. What if the old man was a bad guy?
He was regretting not following her there. If he was in the bank, he could have entered the VIP room with her and gained more information regarding her trip to India. Although Anjum Khan was there, he could not enter the VIP room.
After waiting anxiously for half an hour, Anjum Khan called again.
“Boss, she’s leaving the bank with the old man. Shall I arrest the old man for questioning?” asked Anjum Khan.
Xia Lei thought for a moment before he replied, “No, follow them. If they head to different ways, ask someone else to follow that old man. I want to know his ident.i.ty.”
“Alright, I’m on their tails. They got in a car. It looks like the old man’s car.”
“Follow them,” said Xia Lei.
“I’ll call you back if there’s something new.” Anjum Khan hung up the phone.
It was a long waiting process.
Xia Lei went back to pondering about integrating AI into his company. However, he couldn’t stay focused with Ning Jing in his mind. The pictures she had painted, and the words she had spoken. He couldn’t focus on the research plan in this state. But that gave him an idea.
“I can’t do everything myself. The Thunder Horse Organization is developing. The staff grow in numbers as the demand rises. If I insist on handling everything alone, I’ll die before I can finish all the tasks. It’s time to hunt for talents from the market.” The idea was growing in his mind. Shortly after, he asked Qing Caiyue to enter his room.
“Director Xia, is there anything I can do for you?” She put on her charming smile while asking.
Her plan of seducing Xia Lei in France was near completion, but it eventually amounted to nothing. After her return from France, she decided to try again. Her outfit was a clear indication of that. The weather was cold in the North during this period. However, she was wearing a summer office uniform and a short skirt. The skirt was very short, which could only cover up to her hips. The belt of the suspender stockings that was supposed to be hiding beneath the skirt could be seen by Xia Lei. Three b.u.t.tons of her s.h.i.+rt were undone. Her large and plump bosom was stretching the s.h.i.+rt wide, showing her b.r.e.a.s.t.s. At least two-thirds of her bosom was exposed to the air. No one could have resisted such a s.e.xy figure.
Xia Lei was not a person who could control his willpower in this area. However, he had many women by his side and it was not her time.
“Caiyue, which company did I recruit you from?” Xia Lei stared at her bottom while asking.
Qing Caiyue was anxious upon hearing this. “Director Xia, why would you like to know?”
“If you’re familiar with that company, can you contact them for me? I would like to recruit more talents for our organization,” said Xia Lei.
Upon hearing the answer, Qing Caiyue breathed a sigh of relief. She put on a sweet smile. “Oh, that is a recruitment agency. They’re called the Floor Talent Corporation. I have met with their CEO, Miss Wu, a few times in the past. I have her contact. Director Xia, what talents do you need?”
“Artificial intelligence.” Xia Lei paused for a while before he continued, “I’m mainly looking for talents in the field of artificial intelligence. I would also like to recruit some electrical engineers, mechanical engineers and software engineers. Ask the company to recruit those talents for us.”
“I’m sure people would be attracted to our organization. Director Xia, you’re the reason I’m here now,” said Qing Caiyue.
“You’re still good at sweet-talking.” Xia Lei smiled. “Alright, go ahead. I’ll leave it to you. Please settle this as soon as possible.”
“Alright, I’ll get in touch with Miss Wu right away.” Qing Caiyue turned around. Just when Xia Lei thought she was going to leave, the folder on her hands dropped to the floor. She bent over to pick up the doc.u.ments on the floor. As she bent, her short skirt moved upwards, which revealed half of her hips. The red lace hiding beneath the skirt was also exposed. The lace was small, delicate and was ready to snap at any time.
Xia Lei’s throat got dry suddenly. He had to swallow a mouthful of water to soothe his throat. When he thought it was over, the alluring woman was still bent over picking up the papers. A few pieces of paper cost her more than thirty seconds. During these periods, her hips dangled naughtily in front of Xia Lei. The red lace was hanging around as if the Tak.u.mi Fujiwara in the film “Initial D”. It’s exciting to watch but you could overturn it at any time.
“Ahem.” Xia Lei let out an embarra.s.sed cough.
Qing Caiyue picked up the last doc.u.ment and straightened her slim waist. She turned around to look at Xia Lei with her watery eyes as if she was sending a signal.
Xia Lei pretended to not see it. He lowered his head to look at Sylvia’s drawing.
Qing Caiyue left with disappointment.
Beep… Beep… Beep...
Xia Lei picked up the phone.
“Boss, I’m at the entrance of a biotech company. She went into the building with the old man a while ago,” said Anjum Khan.
“A biotech company?” Xia Lei was surprised.
“Yea it caught me off guard as well. The is a biotech company named Might Biotechnology Corporation, it seems large.”
“Can you get in?”
“There are guards at the door. There must be a lot of surveillance cameras inside the building. I need some time and professional helper,” said Anjum Khan.
Xia Lei’s brow furrowed. Anjum Khan was the sharpshooter of the Chinese Zodiac Battle Team but he didn’t have the hacking skills to hack into their surveillance system easily like Amanda. It would be difficult for Anjum Khan to sneak into the building without getting noticed by the people in there.
“For the time being, please ask some of your men to monitor every exit of the company. I’ll come right away,” said Xia Lei.
“You want to come over?” Anjum Khan was shocked. “But it’s dangerous, you’re not like her.”
No one would do anything to Ning Jing. However, Xia Lei was different. if he landed on India, he might face pressure from the CIA, the Hattori family, the FA Organization, and the Knights Hospitaller. Each one of these rivals was stronger than the other, and neither of them was easy to deal with.
“Don’t worry, boss. Although it’s a bit of ha.s.sle, I can still handle it,” said Anjum Khan. “India is a corrupt county. I’ll try to enter the building by spending a few bucks. If it doesn’t work, I’ll sneak in during the night.”
“Alright, go ahead. Spend however much you need.” Xia Lei suppressed himself from going to India.
“Alright, I’ll return with good news.” Anjum Khan hung up the phone.
After hanging up, Xia Lei couldn’t stop himself from walking around the office with the satellite phone on his hands. His mind was running with thoughts, a.n.a.lysing the current situation with the information he got.
Ning Jing had never gone to India. She wouldn’t have known anyone from there. However, the first person she met in India was a man she had never seen or even known, what was going on?
“Where did the ten million dollars go?”
“What did she buy with the ten million dollars?
“What kind of company is Might Biotech?”
Xia Lei’s mind was flooded with questions. Suddenly, something popped into his mind when he was contemplating the last question. He walked to his desk and opened his computer. Then, he entered ‘India Might Biotech’ into the search box of Baidu"s search engine.
The page was flooded with information regarding the company.
It was a biological research and biopharmaceutical company. This company also produced medical instruments. It had a large share in the biopharmaceutical market of India. Their a.s.sets were about fifty billion Indian rupees, which was equivalent to five billion Chinese dollars. Although it wasn’t as valuable as the Thunder Horse Organization, it was still a large company. A five billion-dollar company would be considered large in India.
The company produced a wide range of drugs used by doctors and general pract.i.tioners.
The building of the company showed up in Baidu’s search results. It was a thirty-storey modern building.
Xia Lei was attracted by one of the t.i.tles from the page.
The CEO of the Might Biotech was an old man known as Nahar, a biotechnologist. He had published papers regarding theology and biotechnology during his early years. However, the content of the papers was too bizarre. It was a joke in the science industry back then. After that, he had a string of success and became one of the richest people in India. It was rumoured that he used this money to buy humans for experimentation. He was investigated but nothing was found.
There was a photo in this content, in which the photo was showing a bald old man. He had a weird-looking eye, which looked kind of neurotic. A name was shown under the picture. Nahar.
Xia Lei was stunned. Wasn’t this the old man Anjum Khan was talking about?
