50. The stolen money was transported to
Hong Kong is still quite warm in October, with sunlight streaming into the room through the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Today in the Champions League, Chelsea vs. Barcelona, Nicholas Tse is here to watch the game with his father.
"You also make a living in the entertainment industry. Don't you know what kind of people these Hong Kong gossip magazines are? Don't take them seriously." Xie Xian was wiping his sunglasses.
My fourth brother is a sunglasses collector; he has over 300 pairs of designer sunglasses in his collection.
"I didn't take it seriously." Nicholas Tse was cutting a fruit platter, and almost cut his hand while doing so absentmindedly.
While Zhang Bai was in Russia, she appeared on the cover of Hong Kong media outlet "Sudden Weekly," with a photo of her and director Guo Zijian (GG) entering a hotel together.
From the camera's perspective, the two appeared quite intimate.
Nicholas Tse and Pak-Chi Cheung just got back together at the beginning of this year, and were officially announced in June when they were photographed by paparazzi. Right now, they are being pursued and hyped by Hong Kong media the most.
The magazine "Sudden Weekly" subtly alluded to the troubles in Nicholas Tse and Cecilia Cheung's relationship, suggesting that Pak-Chi Cheung had found a new love. This quickly attracted the attention of the entire Hong Kong market, and sales soared.
Fearing his father might misunderstand, Nicholas Tse explained on behalf of Cecilia Cheung: "They were staying at the same hotel. The photo was taken from the same angle. The attached photo in the main report was from the wrap party, which was attended by all the crew members, not just the two of them."
"Since you trust her, what are you worried about?" Xie Xian put the cleaned sunglasses into the dust-free box.
"Her bag is missing; her passport and ID card are inside." Nicholas Tse brought over a fruit platter, sighing deeply. "The efficiency in Russia is slow; it'll probably take a week or two to get a temporary passport, which might have to postpone the proposal."
Xie Xian looked at his son with a serious expression. "Once might be a coincidence, but twice it might not be. Could it be that Bai Zhi already knows you're going to propose to her and is deliberately giving you a way out so you'll back down and not lose face in front of your relatives?"
Nicholas Tse had never thought about this question before. After a few seconds of silence, he shook his head and said, "No, we talk on the phone every day. If it were really like you say, I should be able to sense it."
Xie Xian thought for a moment and said, "Didn't her father go back to Hong Kong? There's no time like the present. Let's watch the game tonight, call him over, and I'll have a chat with him."
"He must know exactly what happened when he went to Russia with Bai Zhi."
Nicholas Tse nodded in agreement: "Okay."

Watching football without betting is no fun. Xie Xian was also addicted to gambling in his early years and almost lost everything. He and Zhang Renyong got along quite well and even bet on the outside together.
"Tingfeng, don't believe anything you read in the magazines. Baizhi always tells me you don't have any attitude, and he's so anxious. If I had known earlier that you invited her to the Philippines to propose, I wouldn't have let her accept that Russian guy."
Zhang Renyong had drunk quite a bit, then turned to Xie Xian and shifted the blame, saying, "This is your fault. A marriage proposal is a matter between two families; you should have informed me earlier."
"Yes, it was my fault." Xie Xian gestured for his son to pour wine for Zhang Renyong, and continued, "Son, I think you should just fly directly to Russia and suddenly appear in front of Bai Zhi to propose to her. That would be a surprise."
"Everything happens for the best. As parents, we can't be there to witness this moment, but we can still wish you all the best."

Zhang Renyong also hopes for his daughter's happiness.
He returned home and took out his daughter's handbag containing her documents from her luggage.
Since that silly boy has already decided to propose to you, I, as his father, can't stop him. I'll grant your wish.
Zhang Renyong dialed his daughter's number, about to say that the document bag was with him, but he had accidentally brought it back.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Baizhi didn't give him a chance to speak at all, and started talking non-stop as soon as the call connected.
"Dad, is that Russian version of Facebook you mentioned last time VKontakte? I was chatting with a friend who works in investment banking about it, and he said it has a lot of potential and he'd like you to help him get in touch with them."
"I didn't dare take on this. The friends you know... nine times out of ten they're all scammers."
"How much is it worth?" Zhang Renyong sobered up instantly.
"Is it really VKontakte?"
"How much is it worth?" Zhang Renyong urged.
"Dad, wake up. No matter how much it's worth, it's not your place to invest. Internet financing starts at tens of millions, and investments are in the hundreds of millions. It's not enough to just have money; you also need resources. This isn't a game for people at our level."
"If you really know someone in VKontakte, you can help make the connection. If it goes through, we might be able to get a stake in the company during the fundraising process."
Zhang Renyong boasted, "The equipment I'm currently helping my brother purchase is for making servers for VK or something."
"Wait a moment, let me find the order."
Zhang Renyong found the purchasing documents and read through the letters after VK one by one. "Is this it?"
"Yes." Zhang Baizhi was also a little agitated.
"Daughter, don't look down on your dad. You always say I'm a burden to you. Your dad is going to make a fortune this time." Zhang Renyong's eyes darted around as he said, "You've finished filming GG. You're just sitting around in the hotel anyway. I'll call my brother and you can go to his company to check it out in person and see for yourself."
Zhang Renyong didn't touch the document pouch at all. After finishing his phone call with Zhang Baizhi, he dialed Xiang Tai's number.
"I just left the Tse family. Nicholas Tse is going to Russia to propose to Pak Chi. What can I do? Can I even interfere?"
"I heard Bai Zhi say that she really likes children and is planning to have four. You can count on your fingers how many years it will take to have four children."
"Anyway, I've given you the information. Whether you take it or not is up to you."
"By the way, don't say I snitched!"
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Renyong let out a long sigh and leaned back on the sofa.
My son-in-law, the God of Gamblers, is still the best.

YUREMI's first batch of cosmetics has been shipped from Japan to Russia, but instead of going through the European route, it was sent to Vladivostok, which is the nearest port of call.
Transported by the Trans-Siberian Railway, it clattered and rattled all the way to St. Petersburg.
Hongxing Plumbing Fittings Factory.
Li Xiang now not only lives here, but also has his server room and warehouse here.
The workers were busy unloading the truck when the accompanying escort, dragging two large suitcases, walked up to Big Foot and said out of the blue, "Ivanov."
"Come with me."
Big Foot led the other party to Li Xiang's residence.
We arrived at the door.
"Search his/her lower body."
"The boxes cannot be searched."
The other person did not resist, but gripped the suitcase handle tightly with both hands and did not let go.
Seeing the situation outside, Li Xiang pushed open the door and said, "Come in."
Big Foot didn't follow them in. The escort entered the room alone. After entering, he didn't say anything and opened his suitcase right in front of Li Xiang.
It was filled to the brim with banknotes, five hundred rubles in denomination.
Russia just issued new banknotes this year, with a face value of 5,000. From a transportation perspective, smaller size is definitely more convenient. However, when it comes to the next step, which is to clean the money, larger face values are more difficult to spend.
5000 rubles, converted at the current exchange rate, is roughly 166 US dollars. What kind of cosmetics can you sell to receive this kind of banknote? A 500 ruble note would be perfect.
"Count the money clearly in front of me. I will not be responsible if I find the money is wrong after I leave."
Li Xiang had prepared a banknote detector in advance.
The money detectors at Red Star were practically sparking, unaware that a crisis was approaching.
From the moment the YUREMI cosmetics entered the port of Vladivostok, the members of the Khodorkovsky Special Investigation Team had already guessed that the Ivanov family would take this opportunity to smuggle embezzled funds to St. Petersburg.
Now all we're waiting for is the final roundup, to catch one person red-handed.
