Chapter 008 Time is becoming increasingly tight

In a state of anxiety and agitation, Fu Mingting's eyes welled up with tears as she spoke. Grasping Hu Yatong's hands, she was about to kneel before her. A startled Hu Yatong quickly pulled her up, and she too was so frightened that she began to cry uncontrollably.

Pushed away from the counter by impatient investors eager to open accounts, Fu Zhengming, a loan officer in the Credit Department of Hanzhou Commercial Bank, had never been treated this way since joining the institution. In a fit of anger, he immediately rushed to the third floor of Taihua Securities, barged into the general manager's office only to find that the top executive was not present. He slammed the table and demanded that the person in charge come to see him!

In recent days, with so many account openings and fund transactions, the counter staff completely ignored what Fu Zhengming was saying. They merely glanced at the bank's work ID and tossed it aside. Seeing that Fu Zhengming was not there to conduct business, they blocked him at the window while he still wanted to explain the reason. In reality, he was also infuriated, rolling his eyes in frustration. However, noticing his robust physique and impressive demeanor, they still patiently allowed him to go upstairs to speak with the leadership.

After sending Fu Zhengming off, Hu Yaguo returned to the office and discovered that not only had the sell order placed by Fu Zhengyi in the morning been executed, but even the buy orders he had placed after the market opened had also been executed. The balance in Fu Zhengyi's account had increased to over 840,000, and the small amount he had bought had earned him nearly 20 points. After considering this, he picked up the phone and called his daughter at home, asking her to inform Fu Zhengyi that his cousin had just come by, wanting to freeze his account, but he had not agreed, thus fulfilling his previous promise. The balance in Fu Zhengyi's account had increased to over 840,000, and the small amount he had bought had earned him nearly 20 points. After considering this, he picked up the phone and called his daughter at home, asking her to inform Fu Zhengyi that his cousin had just come by, wanting to freeze his account, but he had not agreed, thus fulfilling his previous promise.

Last Saturday morning, her daughter pleaded for something, and unexpectedly, it has presented itself before her today

Although Hanzhou City is not large, the addresses in Fu Zhengming's hands are indeed located both in the south and north of the city

Having just finished dinner, Fu Zhengyi was somewhat surprised to receive a call from Hu Yatong. However, he had mentally prepared himself for being contacted, so he readily informed Hu Yatong to let Fu Mingting know that he would be heading home right away

Act in accordance with the regulations; outsiders are not permitted to inquire about Fu Zhengyi's account

Since the money was not taken by the cousin but was instead deceived by others, this indicates that the loss will not be total

When the secretary of the General Manager's Office arrived, he brought with him the work ID of Fu Zhengming. Upon seeing the name Hu Yaguo, it was guessed that this person should be the cousin of Fu Zhengyi, thus he entered the General Manager's office while holding a cup of tea

It was only on Wednesday evening that he was not authorized to conduct inquiries regarding the transactions of the fund account, so it was not until nine o'clock on Thursday morning that he learned that the substantial sum of 150,000 had been transferred to the Hanzhou branch of Taihua Securities, which should have been deposited into Fu Zhengyi's stock market fund account

Upon receiving a call from her cousin Fu Zhengming, she rushed straight to Hu Yatong's house without even changing her clothes. As soon as she entered Hu Yatong's room and sat down, she hurriedly detailed the ins and outs of the situation. Noticing the girl's expression becoming tense and uneasy, she immediately concluded that the girl must know where Fu Zhengyi was hiding

Yin Chengjun and Hu Yaguo from Taihua Securities, who have been closely monitoring the fluctuations in Fu Zhengyi's account, immediately purchased some shares upon seeing Fu Zhengyi buy stocks. However, both of them were puzzled by Fu Zhengyi's approach of buying at the end of the trading session rather than at the market's low points. They could not understand why he was so precise when selling stocks, yet did not demonstrate the same ability when making purchases.

What is even more infuriating is that Fu Zhengyi's aunt has recently gone to his father's workplace to cause a scene and act unreasonable, which has put considerable pressure on his father. However, it is precisely because of this that Fu Zhengming has felt the harshness of the world and the fluctuations of human emotions.

Therefore, after Fu Zhengming discovered the whereabouts of the funds on Thursday morning, he immediately set off for Taihua Securities, intending to have the securities company freeze Fu Zhengyi's fund account in advance

Fu Zhengming, dressed in the uniform of Hanzhou Commercial Bank, left the secretary of the General Manager's Office somewhat uncertain about the importance of the matter, so she had no choice but to invite Deputy General Manager Hu Yaguo over

Cousin Fu Zhengyi has also been out of touch, and in recent days, there have been some rumors circulating within the industry. Even the bank president and the head of the credit department have sought him out to inquire about the situation, which has led to his dissatisfaction with his current job reaching a critical point

At noon, neither of the two took a break. The student sitting in the corner of the machine room, reviewing the call records for Fu Zhengming, had long since strained his voice to the point of exhaustion. While handing over the well-organized records to Fu Zhengming, he remarked, "Zhengming, you are truly very good to your cousin; you even dare to engage in illegal activities for him..."

This morning, Fu Zhengming left Taihua Securities, but at this moment, he is sitting in the post and telecommunications bureau with his classmates from the Public Security Bureau, together checking the phone records.

If Fu Zhengyi's order could be executed as soon as the market opened, then his total account funds would exceed 840,000. Last Friday, Fu Zhengyi transferred 150,000 into his fund account, and in less than a week, it has nearly reached 700,000. Not only did he not incur any losses, but he also made a substantial profit that left him astonished.

Fu Zhengming has not returned home since he left for work early on Monday morning

Hua Yatong, who is strong-willed and sometimes particularly stubborn, was frightened to tears, yet she still clung tightly to her position and refused to back down. Upon arriving home, her father, Hu Yaguo, upon hearing the reason, understood that this was due to his daughter's nature. After sending her mother out with Fu Mingting, he closed the door and instructed Hua Yatong to immediately call Fu Zhengyi. It was up to him to decide whether to continue hiding or to meet with the family. Ultimately, this trouble needed to be resolved by Fu Zhengyi himself

Although he has not returned home in the past few days, he is still aware of the matters outside

Hu Yatong, who had just praised her father over the phone, called Fu Zhengyi immediately after her father hung up. Her first question was to interrogate him about why he knew someone would go to the securities company to investigate him on Friday night

Hearing the cries, Hu Yatong's mother rushed into the room. Upon hearing Fu Mingting explain the situation, she became anxious and immediately urged Hu Yatong to clarify the matter. She could not afford to jeopardize Fu Zhengyi and his family out of loyalty to a friend

On Thursday morning, as the market opened, Hu Yaguo, who was paying attention to the account changes of Fu Zhengyi, noticed that Fu Zhengyi had placed a sell order, with a price that was thirty percent higher than the opening price. Therefore, with a mindset of giving it a try, he immediately bought a small amount at that price, also placing an order at the same price level to see if it could be executed

It was not until nearly 3 PM, when the stock market was about to close, that he invested all 840,000 in his account into stocks. He then leaned over the table and began to write, systematically recording and organizing the matters he was preparing to handle using the shorthand symbols he had mastered in his previous life, in order to prevent any issues that might arise from an oversight in any of the steps of his plan.

After some thought, Hu Yaguo said, "Manager Fu, it's not that I don't want to help you. Fu Zhengyi has been a classmate of my daughter for many years, and their relationship is quite good. However, there are rules in every profession. Although you are his cousin, and I believe you have his best interests at heart, to freeze his account, the securities company cannot act on your word without formal documents from the public security or the court. That would be illegal..."

Hu Yaguo, adopting an official tone, made Fu Zhengming's face turn dark with anger. Fu wanted Hu Yaguo to help him check how much money was left in his cousin's account, but Hu Yaguo refused, citing the confidentiality regulations of the securities company. This made Fu realize that staying here was futile, so he had no choice but to take back his work permit and leave, hastily seeking other solutions.

Taihua Securities is a legitimate financial company; without the relevant procedures, we cannot proactively engage in illegal activities, can we

Investing in stocks can be said to carry significant risks, as even in a bull market, there are individuals who incur losses

In recent days, the stock market has experienced a surge, allowing many investors who rushed into the market to reap substantial profits. Upon arriving at the Taihua Securities trading hall, Fu Zhengming witnessed a crowded scene filled with enthusiastic individuals eagerly awaiting the market opening, as well as new investors lined up to complete their account opening procedures

Mr. Hu, since you have been neighbors with my uncle and justice is still friends with your daughter, you cannot just stand by and watch him ruin everything. If he loses the substantial sum of 150,000, not only will my uncle and aunt be beyond saving, but he himself will also be taken away.

Knowing that his cousin Fu Zhengyi had transferred funds into the stock market, Fu Zhengming was even more anxious. He took out his work ID and cut in line at the counter, thinking that the matter would be easier to handle. However, in reality, his negotiations with the staff at Taihua Securities' counter were completely ineffective

After completing his work, he stayed in the technical department of the Hanzhou Commercial Bank, thus being the first to know that the internal system update was completed

When Fu Zhengming introduced the situation, Hu Yaguo's expression changed immediately

The sweat on his body had long since made his uniform smell musty. Paying Zhengming quickly accompanied with a smile, saying he would treat next time. After leaving the post office, he hopped on his bike and, under the blazing sun, began to search for the addresses he had marked on the map.

Uncle San and his wife are being held in a detention center in Yunnan Province, Xishuangbanna City. He sought detailed information from his classmates and learned that the case is serious, and currently, outsiders are not allowed to visit, making it impossible to find out specific details.

Without raising his head, Fu Zhengming replied, "It is you who is breaking the law, not me," after snatching away the list of names and addresses. This infuriated his classmate, who immediately declared that he would sever all ties with him.

After running to three addresses without any success, Fu Zhengming suddenly had a thought; he realized that he could not search alone. He then called Fu Mingting, his second uncle's daughter, and provided her with Hu Yatong's address, urging her to hurry and find Hu Yatong to clarify the matter regarding Fu Zhengyi. It was essential for Hu Yatong to understand the seriousness of the situation and to reveal any possible hiding places of Fu Zhengyi.

However, Hu Yatong, who had promised to pay justice, although she felt that what Fu Mingting said was reasonable, stubbornly insisted that she did not know where Fu Zhengyi was

Knowing that his cousin Fu Zhengming had gone to Taihua Securities, Fu Zhengyi, who understood that he could not keep this a secret for long, naturally used the excuse of telling her the reason over the weekend to send Hu Yatong away, and then continued to contact people from the media.

Yatong, by helping Zhengyi conceal the truth, you are actually harming him. If anything happens to that money, not only will my cousin Zhengyi be doomed, but my uncle's family will also be completely ruined. I am truly not deceiving you or misleading you. If this drags on, my uncle and aunt could be sentenced to prison. I am begging you, please tell me where he is hiding right now

Since last week, Fu Mingting, who has been at the Hehua Pond branch of Hanzhou Commercial Bank, has been suffering greatly. The guilt and self-blame in her heart have caused her to make repeated mistakes at work, and she has been severely reprimanded by the branch manager.
