Chapter 292

"This kid is completely beyond saving. As for his blackmail of Kong Shi, let's wait and see for now. Take good care of his younger brother; the wind is strong on the boat, don't let the child get frozen," I said concernedly.

"Don't worry, I know what to do about this. I'm not the type to wipe out a family. Kong Xiangju tied his brother up. But I still have a bottom line as a human. I'm not like them, lacking humanity," Xiao Wu said.

After hearing Xiao Wu's words, I felt reassured.

I'm most afraid that Xiao Wu might do something extreme again, hurt the child, and then there would be no humanity.

At that moment, Shen Honghong leaned against me,

I said into the phone, "Xiao Wu, I have something else here; we'll get in touch later."

After I finished speaking, I hung up.

After hanging up,

I settled Shen Honghong onto the sofa.

"Shen Honghong, let me tell you, I truly have no intentions; don't think that every man who sees you will get impulsive or make a move on you.

You're seeing an exception today.

Such matters must be built on a foundation of affection.

I'm not a saint, nor am I a good person, but I have a human bottom line: I must not act recklessly.

If you need anything, I can help you."

"How would you help me?" Shen Honghong asked directly.

"This hotel should have male models; I can have the front desk call them," I said.

Hearing me say that, Shen Honghong smiled knowingly.

I said, "In a moment I'll go to the front desk to call someone. You wait in the room. I'll also take the chance to discuss something with Shangguan Zhuren."

After I finished speaking, I stepped out of the room.

Outside the room, I saw Shangguan Zhuren smoking,

Shangguan Zhuren gave me a glance,

"No more fuss, it's over."

I smiled,

"Shangguan Zhuren, what are you thinking? I'll go to the front desk first to find her a model; sigh, this kind of thing I can't do."

Shangguan Zhuren also laughed.

I went to the front desk and made the request.

They actually understood my intention and immediately called that kind of male model for me.

I returned to the doorway of the room,

I took out a cigarette and tossed it to Shangguan Zhuren,

"What's wrong with this society? Women's desires are stronger than men's. I find myself living more suppressed than those women."

After Shangguan Zhuren heard me finish,

he laughed heartily, "Jianqiang, sometimes we go off track; excessive openness, excessive freedom, only leads to excessive indulgence.

Now women's status has risen dozens of times compared to before; whether at home or in society, they actually take the initiative even more.

They can act as they please; we men must keep our tails between our legs, otherwise if something goes wrong we will be morally condemned. They seem indifferent.

The reason why divorce and infidelity are so high in today's society is mainly women, especially some women who can't hold back.

In fact, many men become more honest after marriage; after having children, men have to shoulder the whole family.

Women, lacking constraints in that aspect, care even less.

Affairs, passion killings, women go farther and farther down that road.

My assessment of men in today's society has become like soft‑boiled eggs,

because some of our laws overprotect them,

and there are fewer women and more men in society,

women have become a rare species; finding a wife is not easy, so we double‑care for women,

which causes them to indulge themselves excessively.

Look at Shen Honghong; she doesn't hide her needs at all.

This would have been unimaginable twenty years ago.

Perhaps we really have grown old."

After hearing Shangguan Zhuren's sigh, I could only sigh.

I feel that I live even more suppressed.

As we both sighed, a young man came up from the elevator,

the man wore sunglasses, his face was extremely handsome, and his figure was superb.

He clearly looked like someone who had been trained.

No need to ask; this is the male model I summoned.

At the doorway, the male model gave us a glance, then asked me, "Excuse me, sir, who wants to see my performance?"

I looked at the male model and said, "There's someone inside waiting for you. Five thousand yuan an hour; that price is a bit high."

The male model smiled,

"Sir, this is Huaihai; if we were in Sijiucheng, our performance fee would be ten thousand yuan an hour."

"Oh, this line makes good money, huh?" I asked.

"It's decent, earns more than screwing bolts at a regular job. We just earn some physical‑labor money," the male model said.

Hearing the male model say that, I smiled,

"It's not easy, but this physical work earns comfortably."

"Where there's a market, there's demand; we exist by adapting to the market," the male model said.

Fine, I won't delay him from making money any longer,

and then give him the room card.

He took the room card and entered the room.

The events that occurred in the room will not be described further.

Shangguan Zhuren and I came down from the building.

After reaching the ground floor, we found a secluded sofa and sat down.

I said to Shangguan Zhuren, "Xiao Wu just called; Kong Xiangju has tied up his brother Lei Lei. He's preparing to demand 5 million from Kong Shi."

"That kid really tied him up, impressive, truly worthy of being Kong Shi's son," Shangguan Zhuren said.

"Kong Xiangju's brother is Kong Shi's prized son. Only Kong Xiangju can understand him."

"I never expected that Kong Shi has an illegitimate child. I told you, he doesn't care about Kong Xiangju; his heart is actually on the second son."

"Now the eldest has tied up the second, let's see what he'll do. This is a sensational story; it will make Kong Shi so angry he'll vomit blood," Shangguan Zhuren laughed.

"Indeed, that's enough to make Kong Shi drink a pot; let's see if he can bear to tear the ticket," I laughed as well.

As soon as I finished speaking,

my phone rang again,

I took it out and saw it was Xiao Feng's phone,

I answered hurriedly,

Xiao Feng's urgent voice came through the line,

"Jianqiang, something big happened."

I asked quickly, "What's wrong, Xiao Feng, what big thing?"

Xiao Feng said, "Our Qi He Kuang has been surrounded by people."

"What? Who surrounded it?" I asked.

"It's people sent by Kong Shi. They arrived in a dozen vehicles, holding documents, demanding that we hand over Li Ming and you, otherwise they'll start searching Qi He Kuang. What do you suggest?" Xiao Feng was crying in the call.

"Why did they suddenly go to Qi He Kuang again?"

In my mind I thought, could it be that Lao Wai reported it?

【86】 "I don't know, Jianqiang, what should we do? If they randomly inspect Qi He Kuang, Li Ming, Xiao Long, Shi Yong and Qian Niang are all inside the mine; if they try to take them away, what can I do? Think of a solution quickly," Xiao Feng cried.

I don't know, Jianqiang, what can we do? If they inspect Qi He Mine, Li Ming, Xiao Long, Shi Yong Qian Niang they are all in the mine; if they get taken away, what am I to do? Quickly think of a solution. Xiao Feng said while crying.

"What about Ye Jianming? Have him handle it first. I'll think of a plan," I said.

"Ye Jianming, that outsider never returned to the mine. After cashing out his shares, he went to Shanghai City to buy a house for his son and never came back. I'm alone in the mine now. I truly don't know what to do. Do you think Ye Jianming reported us? He asked me for dividend money; I refused, and he got very angry," Xiao Feng said.

"Now isn't the time to investigate who leaked. Xiao Feng, listen to me, you must stay calm and not act rashly. Do your best to prevent them from searching the mine's guesthouse.

I'll find a way to relocate them elsewhere," I told Xiao Feng.
