Return to the Day When My Pregnant Wife Jumped Off the Building-Chapter 298: The Real Backing_1

"Who are you talking to?" Guan Qingchang asked.

"A friend."

Xiao Ming hung up the phone and looked at him with a half-smile, "Mr. Guan, as the biggest local boss and one of the top three in the province, you’ve endured the humiliation in silence even when made a cuckold. What are you really after?

To climb one or two ranks higher? But even then, there will still be someone above you. What will you do then, keep enduring until you can’t climb any longer?"

At last, a hint of anger appeared on Guan Qingchang’s face, "Xiao Ming, although I have no idea what’s making you so arrogant, do you really think I’m tolerating your insolence today because I’m afraid of you?

That’s a huge joke.

Just a little rat forced to abandon assets worth billions in a helpless rage. I might as well be watching a free monkey show."

"Helpless rage?" Xiao Ming raised an eyebrow, "Is that what you really think?"

"Otherwise? If you’re truly not afraid of the Ye Family as you claim, why would you still waste time agreeing to a stock swap?"

Xiao Ming shook his head and turned to Lu Shibing, "It seems you haven’t told him yet."

Guan Qingchang was startled, "Shibing, what is he talking about?"

Lu Shibing hesitated for a moment, then said, "I’m sorry Mr. Guan, I thought you knew, so I didn’t mention it specifically.

Xiao... Mr. Xiao is from the Infinite Society."

Most people in the room were clueless, but Guan Qingchang suddenly stood up, looking at Xiao Ming in shock, "You... you’re actually..."

"With Mr. Guan’s status, you shouldn’t be afraid of a dark organization, right?"

Xiao Ming said, taking a pen and swiftly signing his name on the agreement, then exchanging it with Lu Lichun, speaking as he signed.

Of course, Guan Qingchang wasn’t afraid; after all, a criminal organization is not a terrorist group, and they wouldn’t do anything taboo without dire need.

Moreover, he had the Ye Family backing him, as if wearing a double layer of armor.

What shocked him was that the words "Infinite Society" intensified the unease in his heart to an unbearable level.

With such a profound background, was Xiao Ming’s unbridled arrogance today really just because he was scared of Ye Jin’an and venting out of desperation?

"God damn it! Someone! Get in here! Waste that bitch outside for me first!"

That’s when Guan Ruiming suddenly started shouting with his phone in hand, his eyes red and filled with viciousness and madness. frёewebηovel.cѳm

Guan Qingchang snapped out of it, and looking back at Xiao Ming, he saw that indeed, the agreement had been signed.

"Shut up!" he ordered decisively, "Tell everyone to back off."

Guan Ruiming, full of confusion, asked, "Why? The agreement’s been signed, Xiao is nothing but a fart now, it wouldn’t matter if we killed him on the spot, why make them back off?"

"You do what I tell you to do, dare you not listen?"

Guan Ruiming’s teeth were nearly grinding to powder, stubbornly clutching his phone, unmoving as he locked eyes with Guan Qingchang in silence.

"Damn it!" Guan Qingchang roared in anger, "Guan Ruiming, are you trying to revolt?"

"I’m not trying to revolt!"

Guan Ruiming yelled out, then tears suddenly fell as he pointed at Xiao Ming and screamed, "I just want to kill him! I must kill him!"

"You..."

Guan Qingchang was about to curse again when he heard a commotion. Turning his head, he saw Xiao Ming holding up his phone, playing a video on the screen.

Upon seeing it, his pupils shrank to pinpoints.

The video showed the underground garage of an unknown building, where workers in safety helmets and gas masks were busy chipping away at a column, surrounded by tightly fitted partitions.

The rest of the video was unnecessary for Guan Qingchang to watch because he knew all too well what those workers were digging up.

Three bodies.

The bodies of a family of three that had been sealed inside the pillar for a full ten years.

Suddenly feeling dizzy, Guan Qingchang fell back into his chair, his heart plunging into the abyss.

At this moment, he finally understood that even without the Infinite Society, with just this video segment, Xiao Ming could make sure he and his nephew died without a place to bury their bodies.

As for the signed share swap agreement, it was worthless.

Because the priority buyer for Lu Lichun’s shares is Guan Ruiming, and Guan Ruiming is about to go to prison, how can he buy them?

Xiao Ming simply needs to sign another transfer contract with Lu Lichun, and not only will his company lose nothing, but he’ll also easily get 40% of Wanhai Investment.

That’s why he "wasted time" agreeing to the share swap.

Ye Jin’an?

He doesn’t care at all!

Guan Ruiming, who was farther away, couldn’t see the content of the video, but after listening for a while, the sounds evoked his memories.

The flush on his face was gone, now pale as paper; the bloodshot in his eyes, though still present, had lost its ferocity, and his tears were flowing more abundantly.

His body began to shake, and he couldn’t hold his phone anymore. It fell on the ground with a crisp sound, making him shudder and collapse to the floor.

In the next instant, he suddenly crawled up, frantically grabbed the flung-out battery, put it back into the phone, and then desperately pressed the power button.

"Xiao... Mr. Xiao, I was wrong! I deserve to die! I shouldn’t have coveted Auntie, I’m not worthy to hate you, I’m worse than a dog in front of you, please... I’ll call off my people right now, please, spare my life..."

He cried out, pleading, and finally the phone turned on. He hurriedly redialed the recent number and shouted: "Get away! Don’t come here, all of you, get far away!"

The people around were all dumbfounded, with Dong Father and Son looking the most foolish.

The result of Guan Ruiming’s consultation with them was to dispose of Xiao Ming as soon as he signed the agreement.

But what was happening now?

Why had both of the Guan uncle and nephew turned into such cowards?

By this time, Xiao Ming had already stopped the video, put away his phone, and without paying any attention to the terrified Guan Ruiming, he coldly asked Lu Shibing, "Was it you who decided to expel Chun from the Lu Family?"

Lu Shibing, just as ignorant of what had happened, knew that the Guan uncle and nephew had lost, utterly defeated, and his bet not only lost its value but probably had cost him a lot more as well.

"It... it was me."

Even though his paralysis had fostered a twisted sense of pride, in the face of powerless reality, everything was in vain.

He could only lower his head, which he believed to be noble.

"Then do you know what you should do next?"

"I will go back and announce the cancellation of that decision right away."

"And then?"

Lu Shibing suddenly lifted his face but moved his gaze away the instant he met Xiao Ming’s icy stare.

"I... I will give up the position of Lu Family Patriarch. From now on, I will not interfere with any family business matters!"

Only then did Xiao Ming show a smile, turning to Lu Lichun to say, "The promise I gave you is finally about to be fulfilled. You won’t think that I’m fooling you anymore, right?"

Lu Lichun took his hand, her smile as lovely as a flower: "Chun never doubted that point."

As her words ended, Ding Jianwei and Jiang Yang hurried in with several police officers, approaching Guan Ruiming who was still stupidly lying on the ground.

Displaying their badges, Ding Jianwei spoke solemnly: "Guan Ruiming, we suspect you are involved in a murder and corpse-concealing case, please come with us for an investigation."

"I won’t! I won’t go with you!"

Guan Ruiming shook his head vigorously, scooting backward, "My uncle is a big shot in Lingnan; I’m the president of Wanhai Investment; I’m worth billions, and with just one word I can make all of you lose your jobs, you can’t arrest me..."

Seemingly not expecting him to react this way, Ding Jianwei glanced at Xiao Ming in surprise, then waved a hand: "Cuff him!"
