Chapter 245: Seeing Qian Niang

~7 min read 1,315 words

I will leave tomorrow." I said.

Why leave in such a hurry?" Xiao Feng said.

Yeah, there are some things that need to be handled. Xiao Fang, you contact that plastic surgeon first thing tomorrow morning and have him come back to Zaocheng; we need to work with him again." I said.

Working together again, right? Your appearance still doesn't resemble Zhou Fuhai." Xiao Fang asked.

I laughed,

No, Xiao Fang, I'm having someone become Zhao Jianqiang."

Ah, isn't that too confusing? You look like someone else, and that person looks like you. Then how would we tell them apart?" Xiao Feng said.

If you feel that resemblance, that person is Zhao Jianqiang. Xiao Fang, contact the doctor tomorrow; we can discuss the price." I said.

Xiao Fang nodded.

I glanced at my phone,

I asked Xiao Feng: "Has Qian Niang gone to sleep?"

Xiao Feng said: "I've already told her; I expect she's waiting for you at the guesthouse."

I said: "Then I'll hurry over with Xiao Long; we can't keep her waiting too long, otherwise she'll get anxious."

After saying that, I and Xiao Long got up and headed to the Qi He Kuang guesthouse.

As soon as we reached the guesthouse gate, the guard directly asked: "Who? This is the guesthouse; no idlers may just enter."

Ya Ling's security measures are fine, huh? It's so late, yet there's no guard on duty watching the guesthouse.

I felt more reassured about Qian Niang and them staying at the Qi He Kuang guesthouse.

Xiao Feng walked up to the guard,

Hello, I've already told Section Chief Ya Ling. Please open the door.

The guard examined us closely,

Section Chief Ya Ling said, anyone entering must register; please register.

Xiao Feng was about to say something.

I immediately stopped Xiao Feng,

I quickly said: "Fine, I'll register. Xiao Feng, Xiao Fang, you all go back; there's still work to do tomorrow."

I'll rest here a bit, then leave early tomorrow."

Xiao Fang said: "Okay, then Xiao Feng Sis and I will head back."

Xiao Feng and Xiao Fang left.

Xiao Long and I finished registering and entered the guesthouse.

As soon as we entered the guesthouse lobby, I saw Qian Niang's frail figure; she was waiting for us.

Seeing us enter, Qian Niang quickly came out from the lobby,

Er Hai, Xiao Long, you're back."

Grandma." Xiao Long called out.

Mom, I'm here." I hurried to Qian Niang's side.

Qian Niang grabbed my arm and examined me closely,

then asked: "Er Hai, how did you change?"

I laughed: "Mom, it's just that I've gained weight. Come on, let's go inside to talk; it's cold outside."

I helped Qian Niang into the house,

He Qing hadn't rested either; her eyes were red, as if she had just been crying.

Xiao Long went up to He Qing,

Mom, don't cry anymore; about Dad's matter, you can relax—my great-uncle is thinking of a solution."

He Qing covered her face and burst into tears again.

I said: "Sister-in-law, rest assured; regarding Brother Li Ming's matter, I will definitely ask. He will surely be fine."

Upon hearing me say that, He Qing said: "Older brother, this will trouble you; we never imagined they would actually act against Li Ming."

Ah, sister-in-law, the changes these past days have been huge. Look, I even need plastic surgery to go out now. So you know, our situation is very difficult."

But as long as we grit our teeth, we can get through it."

Brother Li Ming will definitely be fine." I said to He Qing.

Mom, stop crying; my great-uncle already has a plan to save my dad. Mom, let's go to that room to talk, so my great-uncle and Mom can talk." After Xiao Long said that, he and He Qing went out.

Only I and Qian Niang remained in the room.

Qian Niang looked at me and said: "Er Hai, Mom, I want to ask you: do you really have a way to save Li Ming?"

I nodded,

Mom, Brother Li Ming, I've already found someone; there will be a way to save him."

I've advised him many times, but he won't listen; what's the point of earning all that money if something happens? Mom, I've been angry at Li Ming all along."

Since Li Ming became a leader, my words have gone unheard."

Houses—how many can you live in? Money—how much can you spend?"

When people grow greedy, they become..."

Er Hai, Mom will tell you the truth: Li Ming getting into trouble is inevitable; last time we talked, I didn't spell it out clearly."

After he went in, things actually improved, and the stone in my heart also fell to the ground."

There are some things I also dare not say in front of He Qing."

Er Hai, you've gotten into such a big mess now, heard you've become a fugitive. Ah, you all—what can I say?"

As for the matter of saving Li Ming, don't force it."

I still say that giving Li Ming a lesson is good; that's called discipline.

Who made his greed so big?

We came from Niushiling; we should go back there.

Er Hai, you've even had your looks done now.

Looking at you makes my heart ache.

Without the Da Heng Group, there is nothing.

Li Ming isn't guilty of a capital crime; let him serve a few years.

At worst, we'll go back to Niushiling and live an honest life.

Mother still has money, enough for us to spend.

In Niushiling we have a house; we can run a small business.

Er Hai, don't engage in big business like this.

Our foundation is too shallow. Listen to Mother; when it's calm, we'll go back.

As for Li Ming's matter, you don't need to worry about it either.

After hearing Qian Niang's words,

I didn't speak; Qian Niang was thinking from her perspective, and I couldn't refute her.

Because Qian Niang is older, she just wants to keep the children and grandchildren safe and live peacefully.

I want to say to Qian Niang,

We can't go back anymore. Because even if we give up all our wealth, they won't let us off.

Their goal is to make us disappear completely.

Unless we've done nothing at all, just being ordinary civilians living peacefully in Niushiling,

then no one will scheme against us.

But we have billions of assets in our hands, enormous wealth,

Wanting to land safely—how could that be possible?

I looked at Qian Niang and slowly said: "Mother, I understand your thoughts. But I want to tell you,"

There's no way; we're now like this—they not only scheme against our wealth, they also plan to take our lives.

We can only confront them head-on.

Actually, I don't want this either, but they've already forced us into a corner.

There's no turning back.

Mother, you really don't need to worry about me.

After hearing my words,

Qian Niang asked: "Who would still want to take your lives? How vicious! You've handed over the Group Company to them, yet they're still not satisfied?"

"Mother, you forgot about the car accident I had with Zhou Wei. It was someone's deliberate plot; they truly wanted our lives, but we just had tough luck and didn't die.

They won't let go; now they've moved against Li Ming and his brother.

It's not that Li Ming and his brother are greedy; sometimes they can't refuse to take things, and there are matters they can't decide.

Since Li Ming and his brother take no money, they'll find other excuses to arrest them.

Mother, I want to say: we can't go back anymore.

We can only go forward.

If we don't resist, what will become of Xiao Long and Ru Meng in the future?

They'll never be able to hold their heads high as human beings for their whole lives.
