"No, brother, believe me, I really lost my wallet."
"Look at my clothes, I don't look like someone who takes a taxi without paying..."
At the entrance of Barclays Bank, Lu Jingdong took a taxi to the place. When he touched his wallet, he found that it was cleaner than his face. He searched all over his body but could not find any cash to pay.
Taxi drivers in London don't accept Alipay, otherwise they can still pay with Huabei.
There was no other way. Lu Jingdong could only try his best to explain to the taxi driver in English.
He said that he was going to Barclays Bank to withdraw money, and asked the driver to wait for him for a while. When he took out the money, he would give him double the money.
Unexpectedly, this taxi driver is a very old-fashioned London native and does not accept his behavior at all.
She didn't listen to his explanation and forcefully demanded that he pay the fare or call the police.
But even though Lu Jingdong rummaged through his suitcase, he couldn't find even a dime in cash.
"Brother, how about this? My Hermès belt is worth more than a thousand pounds. If I pledge it to you, it will be used as my car fare..."
The taxi driver also knew the goods. After looking carefully, he confirmed that the belt was indeed genuine Hermès, so he reluctantly accepted it.
In fact, the fare was only five pounds.
Finally getting rid of the taxi driver's entanglement, Lu Jingdong walked into Barclays Bank with an unhappy look on his face.
"Hello, I need to withdraw some money!"
Lu Jingdong handed over his bank card at the bank counter and expressed his needs confidently and calmly.
"Okay sir, please wait!"
The teller lady took his bank card, and after some operations, Lu Jingdong entered his password.
"Sorry sir, the balance on your bank card is zero..."
The expression on Lu Jingdong's face froze instantly, as if he had been hit with a heavy hammer in his heart.
"What did you say? The balance is zero? How is this possible!"
He couldn't help shouting loudly, which attracted strange looks from the people around him.
The teller lady had obviously seen this situation many times. She still maintained a polite smile and explained:
"Sir, there is indeed no balance in your account. If you need to inquire about detailed transaction records, I can print a copy of the details for you."
Lu Jingdong felt dizzy. He nodded hurriedly and said with a trembling voice: "Okay, please print out a detailed statement for me."
The moment he received the details, Lu Jingdong's heart sank to the bottom.
It clearly showed that all the money from his account had been transferred just a few hours ago.
The recipient of the transfer was a name he had never heard of.
At this moment, he finally understood what Tang Songyuan's last few words meant.
Tang Songyuan let him go, but did not let him go. He still controlled everything secretly.
He felt like a puppet on strings, with all actions under the control of the other party.
He is now penniless and does not even have an identity document.
How to survive in a foreign country like London?
A strong sense of despair surged into Lu Jingdong's heart, and he felt helpless and confused.
Just then, his phone rang.
When I took it out, I saw an unfamiliar domestic number displayed on the screen.
When he fled the country, Lu Jingdong blocked all the people he knew and all their contact information. He planned to change his phone card after he stabilized in London, so only unknown calls could come in at this time.
After a moment's hesitation, and considering his current predicament, Lu Jingdong chose to answer.
"Lu Jingdong, you big liar, give me my fucking money!"
Listening to the voice, Lu Jingdong knew that it belonged to his favorite little secretary before.
Previously, he relied on his sharp tongue and status as a super rich man to coax the little secretary around.
He advanced nearly 200,000 yuan for various expenses.
"Lili, why are you crazy? You dare to talk to me like this!"
Lu Jingdong said with a boss's tone, slightly angry:
"I left the country because I had some things to deal with."
"There is a batch of gold spot goods that I need to deliver in person. I will come back when the delivery is completed. Didn't I just ask you to advance me 200,000 yuan? I will give you double the amount when I come back."
"It's only 200,000 yuan, not even a hair in my eyes!"
"Lv Haoyu, you big liar, you still want to deceive me! Pay me back quickly!" Secretary Lili roared hysterically, not giving Lu Jingdong any face.
"You have deceived so many people in China, and now you are living freely abroad. The police have issued a wanted order for you. You'd better return home and surrender immediately, otherwise you will definitely be caught!"
Ma Yingjie, how does she know that her real name is Ma Yingjie?
Is this also the strategy of the Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties?
This is to push yourself into a dead end...
Lu Jingdong felt like he was struck by lightning and almost fainted in the lobby of Barclays Bank.
The police have issued a wanted warrant, which means there is really no way out for him.
You will never be able to return to China again in this life. Going back will definitely result in being jailed.
Secretary Lili seemed to know Lu Jingdong's current situation, and sneered on the phone and said:
"Mr. Ma, don't think that everything will be fine if you go abroad,"
"Now in the rich circle of the devil's capital, those who have been defrauded of money by you have woken up and are aware of your empty-handed tricks."
"For them, losing money is a small matter, but losing face is a big deal. Some people have even suggested paying to hire a darknet killer to kill you!"
"I heard that to take your dog's life, you only need two Bitcoins."
"If you are wise, you'd better return the money to me. Maybe I can help you cover it up..."
Lu Jingdong was horrified. He felt as if his heart was tightly grasped by an invisible force and he could hardly breathe.
He also knows what the dark web is.
He is now penniless and has even lost his identity document. Not to mention the assassins from the dark web are coming, and it is still unclear whether he will starve to death on the streets of London.
"Lili, listen to me! It's not what you think!"
Lu Jingdong tried hard to calm down his emotions, and thoughts were racing through his mind one after another.
He plans to continue defrauding his little secretary Lili and asking her to find a way to add some money to his account at Barclays Bank.
"I did defraud those rich people of a lot of money, a total of 360 million."
"But Lili, I have never thought of abandoning you. Among the four of you, you are the one I like the most. I really just had no choice but to leave in a hurry."
"I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Believe me, this 360 million is enough for the two of us to live happily together for the rest of our lives..."
The little secretary Lili on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, seeming to be thinking about Lu Jingdong's words.
Believe him and share 360 million with him?
Still don’t believe him and continue to ask for his 200,000?
Finally, she took a deep breath and said, "What you said...is true?"
...
