Max-Level Metaphysician: A Debt Repayment Journey-Chapter 102 - : The Ancestor’s Investigation

Chapter 102 -102: The Ancestor’s Investigation

Qiang Hongtao’s father passed away early, leaving behind three-year-old him and his mother to fend for themselves.

To raise him, his mother worked until she became ill. To pay for his education, all her relatives had grown afraid of lending her money, no longer daring to associate with their family.

Also, she refused to remarry, just so that he wouldn’t be bullied.

Later, just a few years after Qiang Hongtao started working upon graduation, before he could provide a better life for his mother, she passed away.

Afterward, when he didn’t own a car or a house, Zhang Meijuan chose to be with him.

The two of them struggled together, not daring to have a child too early. Now that they had both a house and a car,

They were able to consider having children.

But then Qiang Hongtao… ended up like this.

How could he let Zhang Meijuan become like his mother?

Qiang Hongtao looked at Zhang Meijuan, his eyes full of guilt.

But his resolve was even stronger.

He opened his mouth, wishing to repeat the words he had just said.

Yet, Zhang Meijuan beat him to it, “I am going to keep this child.”

Qiang Hongtao became anxious, “Meijuan, no…”

“This is my child,” Zhang Meijuan interrupted him, her eyes reddened, choking back tears: “This is our child. You can’t decide its fate alone.”

The words Qiang Hongtao was about to speak choked back, as he looked at Zhang Meijuan’s belly and wiped his face, “I’m just afraid for you…”

“I know, I know you’re worried about me, but perhaps this child is a gift from heaven,” Zhang Meijuan was aware of Qiang Hongtao’s childhood experiences, “Husband, I believe that when mom passed away, she definitely had no regrets. She never regretted raising you by herself, and I won’t either.”

Besides, her circumstances were not the same as Qiang Hongtao’s mother’s.

In the past two years, the couple had built their own empire; they had a house, a car, and savings.

Even if Zhang Meijuan could no longer work because of the child, they wouldn’t be without food.

Zhang Meijuan declared firmly: “Husband, don’t worry about me, I’m prepared for all of this. Right now, I only want to know one thing, who was it that hit your car?”

Upon hearing this, Qiang Hongtao’s hand wiping his face froze, he lifted his head from his hands, his expression somewhat somber, “It was… a competitor from the company.”

This answer was not what Zhang Meijuan had expected.

“What?” she asked in shock: “Was it a deliberate car accident?”

Qiang Hongtao nodded; at the moment of the collision, he actually had no idea who the other party was.

But the other driver got out, walked to his car to check on his condition, and even took a USB drive from him.

It contained the plan for a takeover bid they were working on.

These days, Qiang Hongtao had been busy with work, helping the company complete a takeover bid.

If successful, Qiang Hongtao would receive a handsome bonus and also be promoted to deputy general manager.

For Qiang Hongtao, it was a challenge, and also a great opportunity, a carp leaping over the dragon’s gate.

So he was always busy, even traveling on business trips for on-site inspections.

There was, however, another company that wanted to muscle in on the deal.

During his business trip, he had encountered the competition, aware that they were also trying hard to secure the bid.

But he never imagined they would resort to such tactics.

He had indeed heard rumors that some competitors would mysteriously end up dead.

But he had always thought those were only plots from television shows or novels.

He never thought that one day, those plots would become his reality.

This project was under his charge; if he died and the documents were lost, the company would certainly have to abandon the takeover.

Then, the opposition could easily claim his hard work for themselves.
