On the Cheng family’s side, while Ning Ge and the others were discussing how to catch the big rat of the Loo family, the Loo Family in the Capital City was talking about the sa thing.
Old Master Loo glared at Jiang Conghe before him, longing to hit him with the cane in his hand; he realized the man was nothing but an ungrateful wretch.
"Commander Chiang had to invite you several tis before you deigned to co. Such arrogance," Old Master Loo said sarcastically.
Jiang Conghe frowned and replied, "Father-in-law, I have a lot of docunts and official business to handle over there..."
aning to keep it brief and skip the nonsense!
"You...cough, cough, cough." Old Master Loo was so angry he began to cough violently.
"Dad, take it easy, calm down," Lu Zhenhua quickly soothed his back and winked at Jiang Conghe, nodding towards the tea on the table.
Jiang Conghe felt frustrated but obeyed his brother-in-law’s cue, picked up the teacup and handed it over, softly saying, "Father-in-law, don’t rush, have so water first."
Old Master Loo wanted to explode, but Lu Zhenhua quickly said, "Yes, Dad, take it easy. All the big decisions at ho are waiting on your guidance!"
He reminded that it was not the ti to quarrel with Jiang Conghe at such a crucial juncture.
Old Master Loo had no choice but to swallow his anger and accept the teacup from Jiang Conghe; his health was deteriorating day by day, and neither Zhenhua nor Shaojun could be relied upon. If he really fell, there wouldn’t be anyone left to hold up the family!
Especially now with so many sses at ho, he couldn’t afford to fall.
Taking the teacup and sipping tea, Old Master Loo cald down a bit and looked again at Jiang Conghe.
"Do you know about the situation over in Guangcheng?"
Jiang Conghe replied, "I’ve got a rough idea; now there’s a surge in criminal activities in Guangcheng, leading to more crackdowns and investigations. It should pass after this period."
Old Master Loo snorted and said, "You make it sound easy. Don’t you know they’re urgently pushing for shipnts? Our family’s avenues are blocked, and we can’t ship out goods. Do you understand the losses?"
"Losing a hand or foot is better than total annihilation, isn’t it? In fact, over the years, we’ve earned enough. Old Master, why not take this opportunity to pull out?" Jiang Conghe said tentatively.
Old Master Loo’s anger surged again, and he said, "Say that again? Pull out! Fine, the money you need for the next two years, we won’t provide!"
Over these years, if it weren’t for facilitating his rise, would they have taken such risks, working on shaky grounds for so long?
These jobs were akin to having one’s head tied to the waist, and now he says to pull out?
He speaks so simply, not knowing who uses the most money? Unless he found another lucrative source...
Hold on, his opportunistic son is in the transport business now, right? Could it be...
Well, well, Jiang Conghe, he’s grown wings indeed, found a backdoor and now wants to abandon the Loo family!
No wonder, no wonder he’s been increasingly rebellious over the past year or two; turns out, he no longer holds the Loo family in high regard, now supported by his Chiang surna.
Ha, a naive, foolish idiot!
Back then, why did he have to follow Shufen’s insistence on pairing them, raising him all these years only to rear an ungrateful wolf.
Old Master Loo reviewed it in his heart, but being cunning as he was, showed not a trace of it, saying, "Let’s put other matters aside for now; we have to get through this hurdle first. Let remind you, the business is primarily led by the Loo family, but if we falter, you as the son-in-law won’t fare much better. If anything goes wrong, no one escapes."
For now, he had to endure, until the issue was resolved, then... hmph!
