Chapter 439

Chapter 439

Back then, in order to bribe Wang Shoucheng, that old man, he had spent a considerable amount of money. Wang Shoucheng was insatiably greedy, forcing him to part with the last of his family's treasures just to have Wang Shoucheng steal away his elder brother's child.

Then, when Old Wang’s family reappeared, they pressured him to find them jobs in the county. Where would he get such influence? He had to spend another large sum of money and even used his elder brother's connections.

The scheme of using someone else's power hadn't been discovered yet!

Just when he thought he had settled that matter, Wang Qinghe was found back!

In the days that followed, he was constantly shelling out money for Old Wang’s family!

This time was even worse. Not only did he have to give money to Old Wang’s family, but he also had to accompany them to hire people.

This was something that could get him thrown in jail!

He was not only spending money but also putting himself at risk.

And to make matters worse, what kind of cowards were these people? They insisted on bringing over twenty people.

This was insane!

He disagreed, but these two threatened to go on strike, causing the money he got from his father to fall short, and he had to fork out over a hundred yuan himself.

Now he was almost broke.

All of this was because of Old Wang’s family, those wasters!

What bad luck!

Thinking of this, He Youde's face turned cold as he said, "Alright, everything should be fine now, right? We've already set the location. Tomorrow, one of you two should skip work.

Take those people and set up an ambush, while the other lures Wang Qinghe out.

This plan absolutely cannot fail.

If it fails..."

"Don't worry, this plan is foolproof." Wang Qingqi, having drunk enough water, was now overconfident!

With over twenty helpers, he was sure they couldn't fail.

"You better be right." He Youde said grimly.

"Uncle He, why don't you stay for dinner?" Zhou Jiaojiao, seeing He Youde's continued displeasure, thought it necessary to keep up appearances.

"No, I have things to do. If you fail this time..." He Youde said with a cold snort.

He got up and left, slamming the door so hard it shocked Zhou Jiaojiao inside the room. "Why is he so angry? Didn't we say everything was settled earlier?"

Zhou Jiaojiao was confused.

"It's because Elder Brother insisted on twenty-five people. Originally, He Youde thought a dozen would be enough, but Elder Brother said Wang Qinghe was too strong.

So he insisted on this many people, or else we would go on strike.

He Youde, fearing we wouldn't cooperate, had no choice but to agree."

He ended up spending a lot more on this.

I saw he shelled out over 650 yuan total - that's no small amount."

Wang Qingqi explained why.

Still, he figured his second brother made the right call. Since it wasn't their cash on the line, better safe than sorry.

This is serious business!

If this goes south, they could be looking at jail time. They can't afford to be careless.

That old bastard He Youde doesn't give a damn, but they've got their own lives to worry about.

Hearing this, Zhou Jiaojiao breathed a sigh of relief that Wang Qingfu went with her husband. If her man had gone solo, he'd have fallen for that old fox's tricks for sure.

If things went sideways, they'd all be screwed!

Just the thought made her blood run cold.

With this in mind, Zhou Jiaojiao shot a look at the clueless Wang Qingqi: "Second brother made the smart move. You better do exactly what he says tomorrow. By the way, you should go with those people to set up the ambush.

Let second brother go and lure Wang Qinghe out."

Zhou Jiaojiao didn't trust her husband to pull off something this tricky.

"What? Those guys are huge! No way I'm going." Wang Qingqi felt scared just thinking about the people he saw today.

He couldn't figure where He Youde dug up these thugs.

It's downright scary.

"I'm coming with you!" Zhou Jiaojiao made up her mind. Come hell or high water, we're getting through this.

"Of course..." Wang Qingqi was about to agree, but then he thought if Zhou Jiaojiao went with him, she would definitely cause trouble later.

"Honey, can't I trade places with second brother?" Wang Qingqi felt wronged.

Wang Qingfu, standing nearby, shrugged: "Sure, if you can manage to lure Wang Qinghe out. Just don't fail and cause He Youde to lose hundreds of yuan.

Then you'll really know what trouble looks like."

Wang Qingqi couldn't even bear to think about it.

He had no choice but to accept: "Alright, but you guys have to be quick. Don't make me wait too long. Those guys... I don't trust them one bit.

And that He Youde too.

You think he might whack us all?"

At this thought, Wang Qingqi went white as a sheet.

"That's why your wife should stay. She'll keep going to work like normal, and He Youde won't risk messing with us. If something happens to us, your wife won't let him off."

Wang Qingfu thought more clearly than Wang Qingqi. The only thing he regretted now was getting on Old Fifth and his wife's pirate ship.

Now it's hard to regret.

They've got no choice but to see this through!

"Alright then, Second Brother, I'll listen to you this time." Wang Qingqi resigned himself completely and sat there quietly.

Zhou Jiaojiao's expression also improved a bit. Fortunately, among the three of them, only her husband was truly clueless.

"Old Fifth's Wife, shouldn't we eat? We'll all be leaving early tomorrow. Can you cook a bit more today?" Wang Qingfu was now starving, and his stomach was growling.

Seeing neither of them planned to cook, he mentioned it.

Old Fifth could cook a little, but he was completely useless!

"I'll do it." Zhou Jiaojiao was unusually eager today and immediately went to cook.

She was getting more and more excited about tomorrow, waiting for Wang Qinghe to disappear, after which her tough times would start.

She had a premonition that as long as Wang Qinghe died, her good luck would return just like it had been in the village!

Zhou Jiaojiao hummed a song while cooking.

Meanwhile, Wang Qinghe, whose life was being plotted by the Old Wang family, had already arrived at his teacher Zhou Jieshu's place to start his apprenticeship.

On his way there, before arriving, he bumped into Yu Cheng at the street corner.

Seeing that Yu Cheng was late today, Wang Qinghe was somewhat pleased.

He could only write down what he wanted to tell Yu Cheng at the teacher's place.

And he’d have to find the right time to give it to Yu Cheng, which was a hassle.

With no one around, Wang Qinghe walked over to him.

Yu Cheng was startled: "What’s going on?"

They say caution is the parent of safety, but his partner was so cautious it was ridiculous!

Normally, he wouldn’t just come over and talk to him like this.

Wang Qinghe glanced at him, catching the teasing in his words.

"Okay, okay, I’ll stop. Don’t look at me like that, it’s creepy." Yu Cheng quickly changed his tone.

"Are you free tomorrow? Wait at the factory entrance. If I come out, I’ll tell you an address. Go report it to the police, then head over there."
