Chapter 513 The real buyer of the chip——Lu Xixiao: "How could it be such a coincidence?"
Wen Li followed the clues all the way.
It was discovered that there was more than one errand boy. The errand boy who hired Jiang Yingbai to take the photo was not the real buyer, but just an errand boy. The transaction was transferred more than once.
The buyer behind this is really cautious.
Wen Li investigated the errand runners' phone numbers and their remittance accounts, and finally found out that there were three errand runners between the buyer and the auctioneer Jiang Yingbai.
Not only that,
When they tracked down the first errand runner, they discovered that he and the actual buyer had only communicated through a temporary number. Not only had they never personally transacted, but the errand fee had even been paid in cash. Like the chip, the cash was left in a designated area and then collected. The investigation seemed difficult, but for Wen Li, these clues were enough.
Although it was a temporary number, Wen Li still found their call records and text messages, and determined the location of the last chip transaction and the location of the balance payment. Then Wen Li began to retrieve the surveillance footage of the two transaction locations according to the time.
The person who took the chip and placed the balance payment was successfully identified.
It's the same person.
But judging from the man's clothing and temperament, Wen Li was sure that he was not the real buyer, but more like a bodyguard.
as predicted,
The surveillance footage showed that the man got into a car soon after taking the chip. Wen Li zoomed in on the footage and found that there was a man sitting in the back seat of the car. The man also handed the chip to the man in the back seat. If nothing unexpected happened, the investigation should be thorough - this man is most likely the real buyer.
Wen Li intercepted the man's facial information and continued to investigate his identity. After digging deep and peeling off layers of evidence, the final result surprised Wen Li.
The person who took the chip was indeed a bodyguard.
The man who got the chip in the back seat was,
A knock on the door interrupted Wen Li.
Wen Li stared at the computer screen: "Come in."
Lu Xixiao walked in with a bowl of bird's nest. He put the bowl down and sat down next to Wen Li. "Did you find out anything?"
He noticed that Wen Li looked a little strange.
So he followed Wen Li's gaze and looked at the computer.
Wen Li turned the computer screen towards him.
On the screen was a middle-aged foreign man with great temperament.
Lu Xixiao: "Who is this person?"
The man’s basic information is below the photo.
Wen Li: "The last person to take the chip."
"You found out so quickly?" Lu Xixiao said, scanning the middle-aged man's personal information in one glance.
Bruce Miller, a 45-year-old from the United States, has a son and a daughter, graduated from the University of California... Currently employed...
Lu Xixiao: "DuPont Manor?"
He looked at Wen Li and was as surprised as Wen Li.
Wen Li slowly spoke, "Bruce is the steward of DuPont Manor, serving the current head of the DuPont family. He has been working at DuPont Manor for twenty years."
Lu Xixiao: "So who is the real buyer of the chip?"
Of course it couldn't be this butler.
Wen Li said without any emotion, "The current head of the DuPont family, Simon's father—Hudson DuPont."
Lu Xixiao frowned slightly: "How could it be such a coincidence."
It was such a coincidence that Wen Li wanted to curse his father.
It would have been fine if he had personally given his chip to Simon's greasy father, but he also went to great lengths to save the other party $7.5 billion. The key point was that Simon kept making trouble during this process.
The only thing that comforted her was that although Simon's father was lucky enough to get a chip for free, the money he saved still went to his own son Simon.
Lu Xixiao thought for a moment and said, "Simon probably didn't know that his father had someone bid for the chip on his behalf, otherwise he wouldn't have participated in the bidding on the cruise ship and was cheated by us."
Wen Li: "This chip must be taken back."
It cannot fall into the hands of foreigners.
We must not let foreigners get any advantage.
Especially the DuPont family.
Lu Xixiao whispered, "I have to deal with him again."
Wen Li looked at him: "What are you mumbling to yourself?"
Lu Xixiao looked at Wen Li and said, "Simon, I have to deal with him again, and that Delia."
Wen Li said, "I won't let you go."
Do you think she just wants to deal with the DuPont family?
One is greasy and the other is stupid.
"That's not what I meant. Forget it." Lu Xixiao was somewhat helpless. He reached out and took the bowl of bird's nest and shark's fin soup, stirred it with a spoon to disperse the heat twice, and then gave it to Wen Li: "Eat it while it's hot."
Wen Li was just about to ask him if he was talking about this or that?
Forget it, what does that mean?
As a result, he was interrupted by Lu Xixiao and the subject was changed.
"What is it?" Wen Li took a look and didn't take it.
"Bird's nest and shark's fin."
"Not hungry. How long ago was dinner?"
"Using your brain consumes energy, so you need to replenish it."
"..."
"Eat something." Lu Xixiao pushed the bowl towards her. Seeing that she still didn't take it, he said, "Then I'll feed you?"
He grabbed the spoon and started to feed her.
When Wen Li heard this, he reached out and took the bowl and spoon.
Lu Xixiao found it a little funny.
Wen Li took a bite and found nothing strange about it. It was fresh, sweet and light, but the texture was not very good.
Lu Xixiao asked: "What are you going to do?"
Wen Li ate. "I haven't figured it out yet. I'm not 100% sure it's the same chip. Even though the probability is 98%, what if it's just that 2%? That would be all in vain. I seem to have had some bad luck in the past two years, ever since I fought you in Nanyang."
There was a hint of condemnation in her tone.
Lu Xixiao instantly blamed himself: "I'm sorry."
Apart from saying sorry, Lu Xixiao didn't know what else to do at this moment.
Seeing how uncomfortable he was, Wen Li regretted bringing this up. She opened her mouth slightly but didn't know what to say, so she closed it, quietly taking two bites, and somewhat awkwardly changed the subject, "Has Lu Jingyuan eaten yet?"
Lu Xixiao: "Yeah."
Wen Li: "What about you?"
Lu Xixiao: "I don't like it."
Add: "I don't need to replenish energy either."
Wen Li: "Who doesn't need to replenish energy?"
She raised an eyebrow and tilted her chin slightly to look at him.
Lu Xixiao smiled and said, "People with low IQ don't use their brains. You and Jing Yuan are smart, so you should replenish your energy."
Wen Li suppressed the smile on his face.
The atmosphere suddenly became relaxed.
Because we cannot be 100% sure that it is the same chip, the safest way is to find the technician who stole the chip.
The team wasted too much time looking for the person. If they had that much time, they would have erased all traces and changed their names. So even though she and Lu Xixiao had extensive connections, it would be too time-consuming and laborious to find someone who wanted to hide in the vast sea of people on Earth.
So Wen Li started from the auction on the cruise ship.
Just make sure that the person who put the chip up for auction is the technician.
Lu Xixiao was simple and straightforward, and he contacted the boss behind the auction with just one phone call.
