Chapter 683: Infiltration
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Charlie’s words allowed no room for doubt or dissent.
Everyone sitting at the shareholders’ meeting knew that Charlie did not have enough money to buy back shares.
His statement was meant to dismiss people.
As for the money needed for the share repurchase, he would give it if he wanted to, and there was nothing anyone could do about it if he didn’t.
In such a crisis, everyone else had no choice but to reluctantly agree to Charlie’s proposal.
One billion in funds were mobilized like this. After withdrawing all the money, Charlie waited until the next morning for the kidnapper to call him again.
“Is the money ready?”
“It’s ready. How should I deliver it to you?”

“Load all the money into a truck and take it to C9 district. I’ll contact you again when you get there.”
The call ended abruptly. The other party seemed in no rush, leaving Charlie completely at a disadvantage.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Luo Feng had already infiltrated George’s house.
Although Luo Feng was aware that it was highly unlikely George would hide Alice and the others in his own home, he had come to look for clues.
Despite searching everywhere, Luo Feng found no useful information. Just as he was about to continue his search, he heard footsteps from outside.
At this point, it was too late for Luo Feng to leave, so he hid in a secluded corner.
“How is everything coming along?”
George inquired of another man standing next to him.
That man was the kidnapper he had arranged.
This guy was not a professional kidnapper; he had been involved in gangs before serving a few years in prison. Upon his release, he met George, who gave him some money to keep him on retainer.
Now, the task of kidnapping Charlie’s daughter had been assigned to him.
George had even promised that if he carried out the task as instructed, he would give him three million when it was all over.
Three million was no small sum, especially for someone who had never seen such an amount in his years of gang involvement. Now, he could earn that much just by kidnapping and ransoming, so naturally, he was thrilled.
George had explained to him that although the ransom was set at one billion, the money was merely to strain the cash flow of the Cosmic Tower.
This would also make it easier for him to achieve his next goal.
“Don’t worry, everything is ready. If that old man dares to call the police, I’ll cut off his daughter’s arm!”
“I’ve done plenty of kidnappings before, so rest assured.”
The man spoke with extraordinary confidence. George glanced around his room, feeling something was off, and went to check the door.
As he suspected, there were signs that someone had tampered with the lock.
George immediately realized that someone had infiltrated his house. Although he didn’t know who it was, he suspected it was Charlie’s doing.
“That old man really does suspect me!”
George’s expression changed, but he said nothing more.
“Let’s search the place to see if that old man has planted any surveillance devices or anything else.”
After George spoke, the two began searching the room. Luo Feng, hiding behind the curtains, knew that if they continued searching, he would be exposed.

If it came to a confrontation, Luo Feng was confident he could easily handle both of them. But if his identity was revealed, both he and Charlie would be exposed, severely limiting their future actions.
Just when Luo Feng was caught in this dilemma, George’s phone suddenly rang. It was a call from Charlie.
George immediately signaled the kidnapper to stop and answered the phone, adopting an enthusiastic tone.
“Chairman, you’re looking for me?”
“Why aren’t you in the office? Where have you gone?”
Charlie’s questioning voice came from the other end, and George hurriedly apologized.
“I’m really sorry, Chairman. Something came up at home, so I rushed back. Do you need me for something? If so, I’ll head to the office right away!”
“Come over immediately. The kidnapper has started demanding the ransom. Since you were originally in charge of this, you’ll go with me to deliver the ransom. ”
“Alright, alright, I’ll get ready and be right there.”
“Was I not clear just now? I said come to the office immediately!”
After saying this, Charlie hung up the phone. George’s expression darkened, but he couldn’t afford to fall out with Charlie now. He had to go to the office promptly.
“Hurry over to C9 district to get ready. I’ve arranged everything else. As soon as that old man brings the money, I’ll make my move.. At that point, he and the entire Cosmic Tower will feel the heat!”
