Chapter 815
Charlie, who had always been calm and steady, couldn’t help being dumbfounded when he saw the message!
There were a total of 21.9 billion deposited in his Citibank black card.
Among that was the ten billion that had been originally in the account when Stephen first gave him the card.
Then, there was the ten billion that he had exploited from Masao Kobayashi, and one billion he obtained from Jiro Kobayashi after his father’s death.
There was also the one billion he had received from Lord Moore that he didn’t know how to deal with, so he had deposited the money into the card.
Hence, he had a balance of twenty two billion in his account. But since he didn’t spend much of the money, there were 21.9 billion plus tens of millions in change.
But now, someone has transferred 21.9 billion away! Who had done it?!
The first person he thought of was the Wade family.
Did they decide to take back his card because he was unwilling to return to the family for so long?
No, it was highly unlikely. Why would the super-wealthy Wade family want to take away his money, anyway?
The second possibility was that it had been hacked!
However, the black card was said to have very exclusive chop encryption that greatly reduces the possibility of forgery. So, it was possible that the card had been stolen!
He sat upright, put down the teacup, raised to his feet, and walked towards the stairs.
Jacob asked frantically, “Hey, where are you going? It’s a cup of awesome tea here, don’t you want to finish it first?”
Charlie waved his hand. “Thanks, Dad, but I have something urgent to deal with. I’ll get you some real good tea to taste someday.”
Then, he ran up the stairs.
Jacob sighed as he watched the young man leave. “That kid doesn’t even appreciate such fine tea, what does he know about good tea anyway? He’s more likely to be scammed than I am.”
Charlie rushed back to his bedroom and started looking for his card in his jacket pocket.
Sure enough, the card was not there!
This was so weird.
The security system of Thompson First was excellent, who could steal his card under his eyes?
Besides, even if the person had stolen his card, they wouldn’t know his password, which was his birthday! It must be someone who knew him for him to try his luck on guessing the password…
Instantly, a familiar face popped up in his head.
Elaine!
Yes, it must be her!
Charlie’s expression immediately went cold and darkened upon the thought.
‘You are such a brazen, greedy woman. Not only did you mess with me, but you’re also attempting to steal my money now, huh?’
‘Moreover, you are so bold! 21.9 billion! Weren’t you even scared after seeing the number? How dare you transfer it all away? You greedy and vicious woman!’
He retrieved his phone and immediately called Stephen.
As soon as the call was answered, Stephen’s mature and sullen voice resonated. “Hello, Mr. Wade, how may I help you?”
Charlie said coldly, “My black card has been stolen and the person has attempted to transfer the money away.”
Stephen asked frantically, “How much of it?”
“21.9 billion!”
“Huh, that much?!” Stephen gasped in utter surprise. He had just given Charlie ten billion not too long ago, when did it become 21.9 billion so quickly? The young master’s skill in earning money in such a short period of time was truly marvelous!
He was not overly surprised but professionally judged the situation. “When so much money is transferred at once, it has to go through the headquarters first for verification and confirmation. That is to say, the money is now out of your account to the headquarters’ settlement center. It is only after the transfer is verified and approved that the money would be released to the other party. They need at least an hour for the verification process with such a large amount. Mr. Wade, when was the transfer done?”
“A few minutes ago.”
Stephen breathed a sigh of relief and said, “That’s good. The Wade family has a close business connection with Citibank’s headquarters. I’ll call them right now and the money will be returned to your account soon.”
