Chapter 211 Meng Po's Embroidery Needle 14
The airport was crowded with people, some in a hurry, some leisurely, moving around in every corner. However, on such an ordinary day, a different figure attracted everyone's attention.
A tall man slowly walked out of the exit. He was wrapped in a thick cotton coat, as if he was isolating himself from the outside world. He wore an equally thick cotton hat, revealing only a pair of eyes, which showed a hint of woodenness. Although it was midsummer, his outfit was out of place, and was very different from the passers-by who were wearing short-sleeved shirts, shorts, and sandals.
Passers-by cast curious glances at him. Some whispered to each other, "Does this guy have some strange disease? He's wearing so many clothes in the middle of summer. Isn't he afraid of fainting from the heat?" Others speculated that he might have just returned from an extremely cold area and had not yet adapted to the climate here. For a while, all kinds of discussions came one after another, but the strange traveler didn't seem to notice that he had become the focus, and continued to walk silently with his head down.
Suddenly, a black car stopped in front of the mysterious man. The man got into the car and disappeared from everyone's sight.
In the car, Jiang Guangyao looked at Han Sheng whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and felt sad. When they last parted, this young master was still the high and mighty young master of the Han family, the heir of the Han family. But he didn't expect that when they met again, his family had gone bankrupt and liquidated. He had no place to live. I heard that Mr. Han could only rent a house now.
"Mr. Han, we are in the Flower Country now, you can take off your cotton-padded jacket now." Before the Han family went bankrupt, Mr. Han sent his son abroad in order to keep him safe. However, it was very cold abroad, which was completely different from the season in China. As a result, his friend was still wearing a big cotton-padded jacket.
Seeing that Han Sheng didn't say anything, Jiang Guangyao tried to take off his clothes, but he didn't expect to be rejected by this man, who refused to take off his cotton coat.
"Han Sheng, it's 30 degrees today, aren't you hot?"
Han Sheng wrapped his clothes tightly and shook his head slightly.
Seeing him like this, Jiang Guangyao stopped trying to pull his clothes and looked at Zhou Dengke who was driving. Zhou Dengke shook his head at him, and Jiang Guangyao could only sigh.
"Han Sheng, you haven't been back for a long time. How about a few of us brothers come to welcome you back? Where are you planning to go? Brothers, please treat us!"
Hearing this, Han Sheng, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke up: "Old Zhao has already been locked up, what's the point of welcoming him?"
When Lao Zhao was mentioned, the car fell silent. Zhou Dengke said, "It's all because of that damn Red Baby. If it weren't for Red Baby, we wouldn't know how carefree we would be now. How could we end up like this?"
"Yes, it's all Red Baby's fault. Lao Han, don't worry. We have the ability and the support of our brothers. We will make a comeback sooner or later. When the time comes, we brothers will join forces and will definitely bankrupt Red Baby completely."
However, Old Han, who was sitting in the passenger seat, said nothing. It was unclear whether he disagreed with what was said or had his own ideas.
"Old Han."
Still no response. Jiang Guangyao reached out to grab Han Sheng, but he fell straight down.
"Oh my god, what's going on?"
As soon as they came out of the airport, they rushed to the hospital. Fortunately, Lao Han didn't have any serious problems.
Zhou Guangyao looked at the medical record book, still lying on the bed with disgust: "Old Han, Old Han, how come you become so strange after going abroad! And you even got a heat stroke, you are really something."
Jiang Guangyao glanced at the big cotton coat on the stool and said, "I told you to take it off. Wearing so much, it would be strange if you don't get heatstroke."
Han Sheng on the hospital bed has woken up and is staring at the ceiling of the hospital in a daze, with an IV in his hand.
Zhou Guangyao looked at Old Han now, and felt something was wrong: "Old Han, you can't be that serious, right? It's just that your family went bankrupt. It's not a big deal! Didn't you always want to start your own business? This is a good opportunity. Is there any need to be so sad?"
Old Han's sight gradually shifted from the roof to his friend standing in front of the bed. He stretched out a hand, slowly lifted the arm with the IV drip, and lifted the long sleeve, revealing a series of hideous scars. The scars were horribly uneven, showing how deep the injury was.
Jiang Guangyao looked at Han Sheng's arm and ran over in fear: "Old Han, what are these scars? Did someone else give you these scars or did you do it yourself?"
When they first met Han Sheng, they felt that this friend's personality had changed. He used to be such a passionate and confident person! How could he become so gloomy after not seeing him for a few days? His family had a sudden change, and Jiang Guangyao thought that this friend might be depressed because of it, but he didn't expect him to be so depressed. These holes, aren't they evidence that he committed suicide!
"Han Sheng, you are the heir that the Han family has cultivated with all their strength. Although your Han family has encountered misfortune, you cannot be defeated. Your parents are still counting on you to make a comeback. How can you be so depressed? How can you give up on yourself! You should become more courageous with each setback, prove your ability to everyone, start a new business, and defeat Red Baby in an upright manner. This is what an heir should be like."
Han Sheng, who had a dull expression the whole time, suddenly laughed out loud because of some words that touched him. He raised his hand and lifted up his other arm, where there was a large red, unhealed wound.
Zhou Guangyao reached out and gently touched the red skin, with horror in his eyes. There was a huge tattoo here before, but now, the tattooed skin has disappeared, replaced by flesh and blood that has not yet fully healed.
"Han Sheng, who did this? Who is this? Is it Red Baby?"
Facing his two best friends, Han Sheng finally said his first words after returning home: "Don't follow Bai Sisi anymore. Stay away from her. Otherwise, she will kill everyone."
Zhou Dengke and Jiang Guangyao were confused by Han Sheng's inexplicable words, but when they wanted to ask, this guy had already closed his eyes and refused to say another word.
After leaving the ward and on the way back, Jiang Guangyao asked Zhou Dengke: "Why did Han Sheng act strange after returning from his trip abroad? He just told us not to associate with Bai Sisi without any context, but he was quite attentive before. What happened during the time he was abroad?"
Zhou Dengke was not sure: "Is it because of what happened to Lao Zhao?"
"Hey, the kidnapping of Song Bao was clearly done by Lao Zhao on his own initiative. What does it have to do with Sisi?"
Zhou Dengke pondered for a moment and said, "Is it because of the contract between our two families?"
"No way!" Jiang Guangyao wondered: "Although Sisi asked us to do this, we did have some problems at the beginning due to funding issues. But later, because the Lu family invested, our problems were alleviated. Now everything is developing in a good direction, and there are no problems!"
Zhou Dengke shook his head: "That's not what I meant. I meant, is Old Han jealous because our company is doing better because we signed a contract? You know, his company just went bankrupt, while our two companies are thriving."
Jiang Guangyao understood: "You mean, Old Han is so angry that he wants us to be separated?"
Zhou Dengke nodded: "After going through so many things, Lao Han's mentality may have changed a long time ago. I heard Sisi complaining some time ago that Lao Han threatened her on the phone. Sisi was so scared that she deleted Lao Han's phone number."
"What? There is such a thing, I didn't even know about it. Old Han is really something. His experience was all caused by Red Baby. What does it have to do with Sisi? Sisi was so nice to him before, but he repays her with evil like this."
Zhou Dengke also nodded: "That's right, Sisi is indeed righteous. When our two families were in trouble, she was the only one who persuaded Mr. Lu to invest, which saved us from danger. We must remember this kindness."
In the Lu family, the atmosphere was terribly tense.
Mother Lu leaned back in her chair, her chest heaving violently and her face flushed, obviously she was very angry.
Standing opposite her was her favorite daughter-in-law, Bai Sisi.
Mother Lu pointed at Bai Sisi with a look of disbelief: "Are you saying that you used all my money to invest in the Jiang family?"
Although Mother Lu was so angry, Bai Sisi still had a smile on her face: "Mom, the Jiang family's laboratory is really good. When the Zhou family and the Jiang family are short of funds, we can help them. Not only will they be grateful, but we can also take the opportunity to get a share of the pie. Isn't it the best of both worlds?"
Mother Lu was so angry that she covered her chest and trembled. If she had not heard her husband's analysis before, she would have really believed her daughter-in-law's nonsense: "The Jiang family's laboratory cannot be revived with just this little money." It's all gone to waste!
"I know!" Bai Sisi handed water to Lu's mother: "So I invested all the funds available at home."
"What!" The cup in Mother Lu's hand fell to the ground: "Did you throw it all in?"
Bai Sisi didn't know why Mother Lu was so excited: "Mom, this is a sure-win investment. Everyone is eyeing this laboratory now! It will definitely pay off in the future. And I also invested a sum of money in the name of Lu's company, so there will definitely be no problem with the Jiang family."
"How dare you touch the company account!" Mother Lu gnashed her teeth in anger: "Go, call Changfeng and your father back, I want to hold a family meeting."
It is unclear how the Lu family meeting ended. What we know is that the Lu family began to sell off their property, and the investment in the laboratory came to an end.
Jiang Guangyao, who had lost his financial support, was anxious and kept calling an account in his hand. However, the other party was always in the call status.
Jiang Guangyao panicked and could only call Zhou Dengke.
"The funds that Sisi was going to provide us have been cut off. How are you doing? Can you contact Sisi?"
Zhou Dengke was driving and waited for a while before calling back: "I'm already at the Lu family. I'll know what's going on when I see Sisi."
However, the Lu family is now deserted, and the huge house is now just an empty shell. The people in the real estate department are measuring the house, and when they see Zhou Dengke, they enthusiastically recommend this mansion to him.
Zhou Dengke looked at the now deserted Lu family and felt bad immediately, so he ran to the Lu family's company. Seeing the Lu Group operating normally, Zhou Dengke was relieved. However, when he wanted to find Mr. Lu, he was told that Mr. Lu had taken many days off.
Oh no! Could it be that the whole family has run away?
Zhou Dengke ran to the Jiang family immediately. What happened to the Lu family? Why did Bai Sisi suddenly disappear? The entire Lu family suddenly disappeared. Did they really run away?
When the Zhou family and the Jiang family were struggling in agony, news about the Lu family finally came out.
The entry "Bai Sisi, the head of Lu's finance department, embezzled public funds" topped the hot search list.
Jiang Guangyao looked at the news about Bai Sisi, and his heart seemed to be arrested: "Sisi embezzled public funds? How is this possible? Didn't she say at the time that Mr. Lu knew about it? Where is Mr. Lu? What is he doing now? Where is Sisi now?"
Jiang Guangyao is now like an ant on a hot pot. She is not worried about Bai Sisi, but Bai Sisi's money. Without Lu's investment, they will be finished. Jiang Guangyao puts his eyes on Zhou Dengke who is standing aside: "Old Zhou, can you come up with the money? The order is about to be delivered, but the machine can't run. If there is no capital investment, we will face breach of contract, and we really can't afford to pay!"
Zhou Dengke was even more anxious. This experiment consumed almost all of Zhou's funds, and even the final payment for other projects was invested by him. However, just when the product was about to start mass production, the funds were cut off.
Everything was ready, and as long as there was an influx of working capital, everything would be able to operate normally. But the influx of capital was cut off.
"Bullshit, you know what I'm doing. The company has no money left. Zhou is waiting for your lab to issue an order to settle the payment. Now your lab can't produce any products, what should I do with the outstanding balance? I've invested all my money in you, and now you tell me you can't do it."
Lao Zhou was so angry that he wanted to have a fierce fight with Lao Jiang.
"How could I know it would be like this now? The order has been signed. Now we just need some money to start the equipment, and everything will be fine."
"Funds, funds, you know we need funds. But this amount of money is so huge, who is willing to invest in us! Now Bai Sisi is missing, what should we do? If we can't get any more investment, our two families will be bankrupt just like Lao Han!"
At the critical moment, Zhou Dengke calmed down and grabbed Jiang Guangyao by the collar: "Now you go to get investment, whether you beg or borrow, you must borrow the funds. I will go to find Bai Sisi now. I still have her investment contract. If her funds have not arrived, don't think you can get away without a sound."
The two split up, both hoping to save the company. But soon, Bai Sisi was on the hot search again, this time it was news of an arrest, Bai Sisi ran away, and the police were looking for Bai Sisi everywhere.
This news was undoubtedly a major blow to the already paralyzed Zhou and Jiang families.
