"What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and chase after him!"
The workshop director and others came in just in time to calm the bosses down.
"Don't worry, bosses. Our boss just went to the bank to withdraw money."
General Manager Zhuang immediately sensed something was wrong and scolded angrily in a cold voice, "Damn it! Didn't he just say there wasn't a single cent in the bank? Where is he going to withdraw money from!"
Only then did the others realize they had been deceived by Wang Chengxiang. But by the time they chased out of the factory, Wang Chengxiang had already driven away.
Everyone kicked the ground in frustration. Those who had cars decided to drive to Wang Chengxiang's house to collect their debts.
After Wang Chengxiang drove back home in a hurry, he nervously told his wife, Chen Zhen, and daughter to quickly pack their luggage. They were going to flee abroad.
"What's going on? Did the people from the company come to urge for the payment again? Wait until my younger sister sells the bronze ware, and then we'll have money!"
Chen Zhen didn't think it was necessary to run away and pinned all her hopes on the bronze ware.
It was a bronze ware from the Warring States period! The money from selling it would surely turn the tables and save their family.
"This has nothing to do with the bronze ware now." Wang Chengxiang trembled all over. He rushed into the room, dragged out the suitcase, and stuffed clothes into it haphazardly.
"Lu Chuanbai has made a harsh statement that no one is allowed to cooperate with our family anymore. He's coming after me for revenge!"
Saying this, Wang Chengxiang remembered the wolf - like look in Lu Chuanbai's eyes when he smashed him that day. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he couldn't help shivering. He continued stuffing clothes into the suitcase.
He was sure that once Lu Chuanbai got hold of solid evidence, he would definitely take revenge on him a thousand times over.
It was better to flee abroad!
Hearing Wang Chengxiang's words, Chen Zhen realized the seriousness of the situation.
When her mother passed away, she had gone to the funeral with her younger sister to watch the show. She had wanted to say a few sarcastic words to Lu Chuanbai but was intimidated by just one look from him.
Even now, she couldn't forget the hateful look in Lu Chuanbai's eyes. That wolf - cub - like look sent a chill down her spine.
Chen Zhen also helped Wang Chengxiang pack. While stuffing things in a hurry, she complained, "I said back then that we shouldn't have kept that little wolf cub! Now look, we've created a disaster!"
They should have poisoned Lu Chuanbai when he was paralyzed in bed!
"What's the use of saying these now!" Wang Chengxiang filled a suitcase and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
"I'll go find your younger sister now and ask her to return the money from the sale."
"Okay."
After Lu Fenglin returned to the company, he learned about Lu Chuanbai's decision to target Wang Chengxiang's factory. Overwhelmed with anger, he rushed to the top - floor office building to confront Lu Chuanbai.
Gao Bo, who was working outside Lu Chuanbai's office, couldn't stop Lu Fenglin. He was directly pushed to the ground by Lu Fenglin, who then forcefully broke into Lu Chuanbai's office.
Lu Chuanbai was annoyed at being interrupted from his work. He looked up at Lu Fenglin without showing any emotion in his voice.
"Those who weren't raised in the Lu family are really different. They don't even know how to knock on the door before entering. They have no manners at all."
Lu Chuanbai's words greatly hurt Lu Fenglin's pride. Lu Fenglin lost control and rushed forward, sweeping a stack of documents off the table. His words were full of hostility.
"Lu Chuanbai, don't push people too far. If you don't like me in the head company, you can come at me directly. Don't target my family!"
"Ha."
Lu Chuanbai reclined in his office chair, watching Lu Fenglin throw a tantrum. His face showed provocation, as if saying that Lu Fenglin had such a low tolerance level.
Lu Fenglin felt like he was about to vomit blood from anger because of Lu Chuanbai's sarcastic attitude. He felt as powerless as if he had punched a cotton ball.
"Lu Fenglin, you think too highly of yourself." The sneer on Lu Chuanbai's lips deepened.
"You're not even worth my attention. I'm doing all this for my mother, that poor woman who was killed by your family."
Hearing this, all of Lu Fenglin's psychological defenses crumbled. He swayed slightly, his face pale as he squinted and stared intently at Lu Chuanbai.
He wanted to figure out how much Lu Chuanbai actually knew.
But Lu Chuanbai's attitude was flawless. The thought - provoking smile on his lips could be interpreted in any way.
"Lu Chuanbai, spreading rumors is illegal."
Lu Fenglin didn't even know how he managed to say this. The imposing manner with which he had come to find Lu Chuanbai had faded away. His voice was hoarse from shouting just now.
"We haven't killed anyone. It's your Lu family who owes me and my mother!"
After saying that, as if to cover up his uneasiness, Lu Fenglin turned around and left.
"Believe it or not, but I will definitely make your mother pay the price." Lu Chuanbai said coldly to Lu Fenglin's back.
Hearing Lu Chuanbai's words, Lu Fenglin just paused for a moment and then continued walking, not caring at all about how embarrassing it was to come in a rage and leave dejectedly.
All he could think about now was to find his step - mother and ask her what exactly had happened back then and whether she had done anything to Lu Chuanbai's mother.
Wang Chengxiang searched the Lu family's place but couldn't find his step - mother, so he called her.
The step - mother didn't want Wang Chengxiang to find out where she was, so she made an appointment with him at the cross - road of the People's Square, the busiest area in the city.
Before leaving, worried that Wang Chengxiang might attack her if he didn't see the money or the goods, the step - mother randomly took a black plastic bag and put a piece of clothing in it to pretend it was the bronze ware.
The two met at the People's Square. The step - mother saw Wang Chengxiang dressed in all black, wearing a cap and a mask, covering himself so tightly that he was unrecognizable.
Passers - by all cast suspicious looks at Wang Chengxiang, who was dressed so suspiciously. The step - mother pulled up the collar of her clothes to cover her face and said in a somewhat disdainful tone, "Why are you dressed like this?"
"Everyone is chasing me for the debt now. Of course, I have to cover my face."
Wang Chengxiang's tone was impatient. He glared angrily at every passer - by who looked at him.
"Quickly give me the money. I need it urgently!"
The step - mother had no choice but to take out the bulging black plastic bag from her bosom, pretending that it was the bronze ware.
"It hasn't been sold yet. Where am I supposed to get the money for you!"
"Then give me the bronze ware. I'll sell it myself." Wang Chengxiang said and was about to grab it.
He knew that many foreigners abroad liked Chinese cultural relics. He could take the bronze ware abroad to sell.
The step - mother was worried that Wang Chengxiang would find out, so she put her hand behind her back.
"No! I don't trust you to sell it. Do you have anything else to say? If not, I'll leave."
After saying that, the step - mother turned around and left. The bad temper that Wang Chengxiang had been suppressing for the past few days suddenly exploded. He reached out and grabbed the step - mother's shoulder, not caring about the onlookers' gazes, and tried to snatch the bronze ware back.
"This is my bronze ware! Give it back to me quickly!"
