94: Chapter 94 Using a borrowed knife to kill

The man seemed to have entered heaven since getting off the plane; he no longer hid his face, dragging his suitcase with high spirits and striding towards the exit.

Cao Xiao rolled his eyes twice, his gaze falling on Xu Junhua's two bodyguards, and he immediately had an idea.

Pretending to look casually in that person's direction, he suddenly turned back to Xu Junhua in surprise and said, "Mr. Xu, could I ask you for a favor?"

"Oh, what is it?" Xu Junhua's attention was focused on He Yueyou. Although he was unhappy that Cao Xiao had suddenly interrupted him, he asked with forced patience.

"Do you see that man?" Cao Xiao said, pointing indignantly at the middle-aged man.

"What's wrong with him? Did he offend you? Do you want me to help you deal with him?" Xu Junhua speculated.

"That man is a fraudster. Not long ago, he swindled our boss out of a lot of money. Our boss treats me very well, but he almost made our boss go bankrupt. He has also swindled many other companies. A few days ago, he was exposed, and the police are looking for him everywhere. It is said that he escaped with hundreds of millions in us dollars. I didn't expect him to appear here, and on the same flight as us. Mr. Xu, could you let your bodyguards secretly catch him and send him back to the country so he can receive the punishment he deserves?" Cao Xiao requested, filled with righteous indignation.

Xu Junhua had thought Cao Xiao wanted him to help teach someone a lesson, but he didn't expect it to be such a big deal.

A wanted fraudster with hundreds of millions in cash—wouldn't that mean he could... Thinking of this, his heart couldn't help but beat violently.

Hundreds of millions in cash! Even though he owned a company with billions in assets on the surface, some of the shares belonged to others, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to make such a name for himself in Africa.

Moreover, those were fixed assets, not cash, and he couldn't come up with hundreds of millions in cash all at once even after operating for so many years.

A massive windfall was about to fall into his lap, so how could he not be excited?

However, this kind of thing could only be done privately; he couldn't let this young man with such a strong sense of justice find out.

So, he also pretended to be angry and said, "I hate these swindlers more than anything in my life. Don't worry, Brother Cao, I will have my bodyguards handle it right now. Please wait for me outside, we will be back in a moment."

"Then thank you, Mr. Xu," Cao Xiao said gratefully.

Watching the backs of Xu Junhua and his party as they hurried away, He Yueyou asked Cao Xiao in confusion, "How did you know that man was a fraudster? This Xu Junhua is not a good person; he is truly disgusting. That woman is clearly not decent, and it serves him right to be teased, but you must not harm the innocent."

Cao Xiao reminded her, "Haha, that man is no fraudster. Don't you think he looks familiar? Think about it, have you seen him anywhere? This man appearing here alone at this time, struggling to drag a large suitcase—do you understand what this means? This Xu Junhua is driven by greed. If he really acts on those crooked thoughts, I guarantee he will cough up even more when he returns to the country."

"Oh, I see who he is now. Someone at his level cannot leave the country without permission." He Yueyou finally realized, then asked, "Are you really so confident in letting Xu Junhua be the sucker? Aren't you afraid of accidents?"

"Hehe! Don't worry. People like Xu Junhua are hypocrites; they look righteous on the surface, but they do plenty of crooked things in secret. He is an old hand at this, familiar with the ropes. Let's follow them quietly and watch the show," Cao Xiao chuckled.

"I didn't realize you had so many twists and turns in your brain. You thought of using a borrowed knife to kill someone so quickly. Confess, what other bad things have you done that I don't know about!" He Yueyou said to Cao Xiao with a smile, squinting her eyes.

"I am an upright gentleman. Don't imagine me as so dark. If it weren't for meeting these two, would I have wasted brain cells thinking about these things?" Cao Xiao looked at He Yueyou with an aggrieved expression. "Let's go, they will be far away in a moment."

Cao Xiao took He Yueyou and followed Xu Junhua's party from a distance. With a 100-meter Detection Function range, there was no fear of losing them.

As expected, Xu Junhua's two bodyguards approached the middle-aged man without leaving a trace.

Then, one bodyguard suddenly stepped forward and wrapped his arm around the man's shoulders.

The man was startled, and when he turned his head, he saw a cold, burly man wearing sunglasses glaring at him with murderous intent.

Just as he was about to shout for help, he felt a hard object pressing against his waist, and he immediately wilted, allowing the burly man to take him into the airport restroom.

Seeing this, Cao Xiao felt some sympathy for the middle-aged man. The object pressing against his waist was not the handgun the man imagined, but a rolled-up magazine.

It was surprising that this alone had terrified the middle-aged man, who was already as nervous as a bird that had been startled by the mere twang of a bowstring.

The two bodyguards held the middle-aged man captive and walked into the restroom, one in front and one behind.

One took the middle-aged man into a stall amidst people's strange looks, while the other took the man's suitcase into another stall.

During this time, the middle-aged man cautiously begged the bodyguard for mercy, but the bodyguard stared at him and told him to shut up, then searched all the items on his body.

In the other stall, Xu Junhua's bodyguard violently pried open the suitcase. A suitcase half-full of us dollars made the bodyguard's breathing rapid.

After digging out the jewelry, he didn't hesitate to take a few pieces and stuff them into his own pockets.

However, he didn't notice the few bearer bank cards hidden in the lining of the suitcase with the passwords written on the cards, otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen those pieces of jewelry.

Finally, the bodyguard found some documents in the case, put them in his pocket, closed the case, opened the door, and walked out.

He called out the other bodyguard, and they escorted the middle-aged man out of the restroom.

They didn't go to report back to Xu Junhua, but instead went to the airport ticket office.

One bodyguard took his own passport and the middle-aged man's passport to the counter to buy two tickets to the country on the earliest flight.

They immediately took the middle-aged man through security and boarded the plane. A moment later, the bodyguard returned; that plane had already taken off.

After the two bodyguards met up, they found a hidden place to split some of the jewelry before dragging the suitcase to see Xu Junhua.

The two whispered a few words in Xu Junhua's ear. Xu Junhua was immediately extremely excited, greatly praised the two bodyguards who had lined their own pockets, and took out his phone to make a call.

Cao Xiao saw the starting digits of the phone number; it was a private number calling back to the country.

Seeing this, he was relieved; the middle-aged man would be arrested by the police as soon as he got off the plane.

There was nothing left to see. He waved over Li Quanshuo, who was not far away, gave him some instructions, handed him a bank card, and then took He Yueyou to wait outside the airport for Xu Junhua.

"Brother Cao, mission accomplished. I have already had my bodyguards put that man on a flight back to the country. I called a friend back home and asked him to help report it to the police. That man will be brought to justice as soon as he gets off the plane. I'm in a good mood after doing a good deed today. Feel free to spend whatever you want in a little while; I'll pay the bill," Xu Junhua said generously as he approached Cao Xiao and the other.

"Thank you, Mr. Xu! I knew Mr. Xu was a man who hates evil. Finally, we have vented our anger for our boss. Tomorrow, I will report the good news to our boss. After the boss recovers the swindled money, he will definitely reward us. With such a large sum of money, the reward for me will certainly not be small. Maybe I will have a wedding house with Yueyou, and we can get married before long. Yueyou, are you happy?" Cao Xiao looked at Xu Junhua gratefully, then said with longing.

"That's great! With a house, my mom won't suppress our marriage. But the house we like is not cheap. Even with the money your boss rewards you plus our savings, it might not be enough. Why don't we go back this time? We can save some money and borrow some to buy the house. Still, I have to thank Mr. Xu. If it weren't for Mr. Xu's help this time, we wouldn't have encountered such a windfall," He Yueyou also performed diligently according to the script.

"This is what I should do; no need to thank me." Xu Junhua smiled reservedly, but in his heart, he was thinking, "These two young people probably don't know that I am the one who made a fortune this time. This kid still wants to marry a beauty? With me around, keep dreaming!"

Hearing He Yueyou say they were going to return, how could he let them have their way? Buying a house in the country wouldn't cost much; compared to this windfall, it was just a drop in the bucket.

So he said, "You have finally come out for a trip; how can you turn back halfway? As long as you are with me, you won't have to spend a penny; I will cover all expenses. As for the house, don't worry about it. How much does a house cost? We hit it off immediately, so consider that house a gift from me to you."
