Chapter 178 Desperate Situation
Seeing him like this, Jiang Ming shouted, "That's enough! Your uncle and aunt never liked that Liu Xiaofen gave birth to a daughter for you. And because of her health, she couldn't have any more children. It's a good thing for you that she's dead."
"But my daughter Yu'er is innocent; she's only five years old."
Thinking of his daughter, Liu Jiawang's face was filled with sorrow.
Jiang Ming glanced at him and placed his phone on the table: "The police are looking for you. If you go out like this, aren't you just walking into a trap?"
"But my daughter, Yu'er..."
Tears welled up in her eyes when she mentioned her daughter, Liu Jiawang.
Jiang Ming changed his tune and advised, "Your daughter's revenge will come sooner or later, but not now. How about this, I'll give you 100,000 of the 5 million I promised you. Once I take over the city construction company, I'll give you the rest."
Seeing the greedy glint in Liu Jiawang's eyes, Jiang Ming continued to paint a rosy picture: "If I become the chairman of the urban construction company, I'll arrange for you to be a project director there. That's a very lucrative position. How about that?"
Liu Jiawang sat weakly on the sofa, not answering the question, still troubled by the deaths of his wife and children: "Cousin, were Liu Xiaofen and Yu'er really killed by Song Qiao?"
"Don't you think about it? Who else could it be but her? You hurt her lover. She must have recognized you from the surveillance footage. You don't know, do you? This Lu Mingxuan is very important to her. They were already together before we got married."
"I won't let that bitch get away with this!" Liu Jiawang said through gritted teeth.
Jiang Ming is currently wanted by the police, and he can't take the risk himself, but Liu Jiawang can. He knows his simple-minded cousin best.
Jiang Ming had previously approached him at the urban construction company, wanting to become a construction worker. However, Jiang Ming felt that Jiang Ming was embarrassing him, so he asked the receptionist to tell him that he had already left.
Later, through Liu Xiaofen's family connections, Liu Jiawang was able to get a job as a security guard at the correctional facility.
When Jiang Ming went to find Jiang Xiaoran that day, he was surprised to see him at the door and immediately had an idea.
I learned from Liu Jiawang that there are more than 100 children in this school.
He did the math: each person would earn at least 50,000, which would amount to 5 million a year. Considering each teacher's salary, he felt that buying the school would definitely be profitable.
So he used coercion and bribery to expel the article from the country and bought the correctional facility.
For safety reasons, the principal did not write his name, but the name of his childhood friend Wu Wen from their village.
He didn't have any money at the time, so he took out a loan to buy the school.
However, less than a month later, Jiang Ming discovered that he had not only failed to make money by buying the correctional facility, but had actually lost money.
Later, he realized that the correctional facility was actually a charity school run by Wu Wen, and it didn't make any money at all.
Now, the correctional facility has become a hot potato that he can't get rid of. The loan from the bank is about to expire, and the project in the east of the city has been suspended because there is no money to buy materials. So he has once again set his sights on the urban construction company.
However, the urban construction company is now in Song Jianguo's hands. He has been sued by Song Qiao for kidnapping Tao Meiling, embezzling public funds, and taking kickbacks, and the police are looking for him everywhere.
Left with no other choice, he cut off Liu Jiawang's escape route, killed his wife and children, and dragged him onto his pirate ship.
He hired people to kill Liu Xiaofen and Liu Yu'er. He did this not only to frame Song Qiao, but also to leave Liu Jiawang with no way out and use him as a tool.
"Cousin, once you become the chairman of the urban construction company, are you really going to make me the director?" Liu Jiawang asked, looking at Jiang Ming's helpless expression.
"Of course. You are my cousin. There's a saying: 'When brothers are of one mind, their strength can break metal.' As long as we brothers work together, the Urban Construction Group will be ours."
Liu Jiawang has only a third-grade education. He can't even read all the words on the train tickets for his trip to work. Getting a job as a security guard at the correctional facility was the best arrangement for him, but now that job is gone, and he has no choice but to follow Jiang Ming.
It was late at night, and after leaving Jiang Ming's place, Liu Jiawang didn't know where to go.
He decided to go home and visit his family.
After all, Liu Xiaofen had been married to him for so many years, and she had lived with him sincerely. She didn't look down on him for being uneducated. Every time he came home, she would prepare his wash water and put the food on the table.
His daughter, Yu'er, was his most beloved daughter. Ever since Liu Xiaofen became unable to have children, he cherished her even more.
Of the 500,000 yuan that Song Qiao and Lu Mingxuan gave him a few days ago, he only gave 500 yuan to Liu Xiaofen and hid it all away.
Thinking that he had been too harsh on Liu Xiaofen, he regretted it and wanted to go home to see his former home.
When he got home, Liu Jiawang didn't go inside first. Instead, he hid a short distance away and looked around to see if there were any police officers.
Once he was sure there was nothing there, he slipped inside in the moonlight.
In the rented house, after seeing Liu Jiawang leave, Zhao Xiaoya took Jiang Xiaoran's hand and walked out of the bedroom.
"Honey, you need to think of something quickly! Ranran is about to start school, and we're still hiding in this village, unable to see anyone. What are we going to do?"
Zhao Xiaoya regretted selling the house in Moon Palace; that house was what she had earned after eight years with Jiang Ming.
However, when Jiang Ming bought the correctional facility, she was tricked into selling it.
Look at her now, she looks like a country girl, and Jiang Xiaoran looks like a country bumpkin. She never dreamed that following Jiang Ming would lead to such an end.
“I’ve already said I will get the Urban Construction Company, and the project in the east of the city. Once it’s completed, we’ll sell it for a good price even if we don’t use it.”
Zhao Xiaoya didn't think so. Looking at Jiang Ming's face under the dim light on the sofa, she said, "What if we don't get the Urban Construction Company? What will you do then? We don't even have food now. The most urgent thing is to think about this."
Zhao Xiaoya realized that Jiang Ming was completely irrational. Not only did he blindly invest in the East City Project, but he also bought the correctional facility, which was a foolish choice.
"You're out of food? Didn't I give you a thousand yuan? How come you spent it so quickly?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Xiaoya exclaimed, "Jiang Ming, a thousand yuan for three months? How dare you ask for that? Forget about eating well, even if we don't eat meat, ten yuan a day, is that enough?"
She glanced at Jiang Ming with a cold look in her eyes: "The thousand yuan you gave me was used up two months ago. The money I saved up over the last two months is also gone."
What to do? He had just given Liu Jiawang the only 100,000 yuan he had.
"Xiaoya, take out the money you have and use it first. When I have it, I'll give it all to you; it'll all be yours."
She would have believed such a statement three months ago, but she doesn't believe it now.
"Jiang Ming, if you can't give me and my child a good life, I'll have no choice but to leave you and go back to Jiangcheng with Ranran."
Zhao Xiaoya looked at Jiang Ming with a disappointed expression.
"Where will you stay when you go back to Jiangcheng?" They are like stray dogs now, where can they find a place to stay in Jiangcheng?
Jiang Ming reminded Zhao Xiaoya that she and he were now bound by fate, and she couldn't live on her own.
"Isn't there still that apartment in Sunshine Community that you got from Song Qiao? Let your mother go back to the countryside, and Ranran and I will move back there!"
