CHAPTER 96: CHAPTER 96: I HAVE A SECRET

After not hearing a response from Shen Shaohua for a long time, Liang Zhenghua said urgently, "We have to hurry, the people over there are already pressing us. If this batch can’t be shipped out smoothly, our cooperation could be affected."

Shen Shaohua: "I understand. Have them continue with the plan. As for his side, I’ll handle it."

Liang Zhenghua: "Are you sure you can deal with him?"

Shen Shaohua chuckled lightly, "I’ll handle him."

Hearing Shen Shaohua’s response, Liang Zhenghua felt relieved, "Alright, then I’ll continue communicating with them."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Shaohua picked up a photo on the table, a crazed glint in his eyes.

And in the photo was Sang Yu, taken when Sang Yu was coming out of the newspaper office.

"I wonder if you’ll care about this."

Shen Shaohua put the photo away and made a call.

On the other side, Liang Zhenghua, having received Shen Shaohua’s confirmation, contacted the previous people.

In the darkness, a beam of light shone through the window, illuminating only half of a face, with a long and ghastly scar on it.

When the light fell on that scar, it looked terrifying and mysterious.

"Are you sure you can get the goods out? This batch isn’t small, any accidents, the loss wouldn’t be something we can afford."

The man’s voice seemed to come through gritted teeth, sometimes low and hoarse like a ghost, sometimes furious like a demon from hell.

Liang Zhenghua’s voice came through the receiver: "Since we’re having you do it, we obviously have confidence."

Carrying a hint of superiority and smugness.

The man curled his lips, with a slight mockery in his gaze.

"Why not just kill those who are in the way? Afraid?"

Liang Zhenghua’s voice carried a hint of displeasure: "If we kill him, we’d only expose ourselves faster."

The man sneered, full of blatant mockery.

Liang Zhenghua solemnly said, "Whatever we say, just do as you’re told."

"Okay, if that’s the case, then let’s act according to plan. Hope you all follow through."

With that, the man hung up the phone.

Liang Zhenghua listened to the beeping tone from the receiver, frowned, displeased: "Just a lowly merchant, dares to be so arrogant."

If it weren’t for the considerable profit, he wouldn’t cooperate with such people.

It would only degrade his own status.

After putting down the phone, Liang Zhenghua dialed another number.

...

"Mom, where are you going?" Song Jiajia’s face hadn’t yet healed, her face was swollen all over.

Because Chen Jinlan had no money, Song Jiajia didn’t go to the hospital for a checkup, just did some simple bandaging at home.

Chen Jinlan grasped the door handle: "I’m going out to find your dad."

Song Zhenhua hadn’t come home for three days.

This made Chen Jinlan feel very strange.

Song Jiajia trembled all over upon hearing this, a dread surged through her heart instantly.

She rushed to Chen Jinlan’s side: "No, mom, don’t go looking for him."

She would rather Song Zhenhua never came back.

Chen Jinlan: "Jiajia, I know it’s wrong for your dad to hit you, but he is your father after all. He hasn’t come back for so many days, I don’t feel at ease."

Song Jiajia knelt on the ground: "Mom, if you’re going to find my dad, you might as well kill me first, because if dad comes back, he’s going to beat me to death anyway."

Chen Jinlan: "Jiajia, how can you say that, your dad was just too angry, and after so many days, he’s probably calmed down."

Song Jiajia didn’t see it that way, she knew Song Zhenhua too well.

"Mom, have you not figured him out after living with him for so many years? Do you have to bring him back to watch him beat me to death?" Song Jiajia yelled angrily.

Chen Jinlan was silent.

Song Jiajia seized the opportunity, "Mom, after all, dad is so capable, he definitely won’t have any accidents, but can you help me divorce Lu Hao first?"

Only by divorcing Lu Hao would she have a chance with Jiang Jingming.

Chen Jinlan: "Why do you have to divorce Lu Hao?"

Song Jiajia, hysterical: "Because Lu Hao is a coward, a coward who only bullies the weak, and Lu Hao can’t do it, mom, I’m begging you, I have a whole life ahead of me, I absolutely can’t get ruined by Lu Hao."

Chen Jinlan: "What exactly is going on?"

These days, due to the wound on her face, Song Jiajia hadn’t said much, even eating was difficult.

Today she could barely speak.

She told Chen Jinlan about what happened with Lu Hao in Shenzhen and described Lu Hao’s performance at night.

Chen Jinlan was shocked, Lu Hao seemed normal, but actually couldn’t perform.

"Mom, I must divorce Lu Hao."

"But if you divorce, what will you do? People will criticize you."

In her bones, Chen Jinlan was still a very traditional woman, believing that a divorced woman would be criticized by society.

It would be difficult to survive afterward.

Song Jiajia: "I’m going to find Jiang Jingming. I am Jiang Jingming’s fiancée. I’ll make sure Jiang Jingming marries me."

She had a secret that would definitely make Jiang Jingming willing to marry her.

And Sang Yu enjoyed everything that should have been hers, so it was time she got it back.

Chen Jinlan looked at Song Jiajia: "Jiajia, are you crazy, how could Jiang Jingming..."

"Mom, don’t worry, I have my ways. If I change your son-in-law to Jiang Jingming, do you think people will talk behind your back, or envy you?"

Chen Jinlan thought of all the previous ridicule from people around her.

She clenched her teeth: "Are you sure you can make Jiang Jingming marry you?"

Song Jiajia’s eyes flashed with determination: "Absolutely."

Her secret would surely make Jiang Jingming willingly marry her.

After all, they both had been divorced, neither would look down on the other.

Chen Jinlan: "Fine, then let’s go find Lu Hao and his family now."

Chen Jinlan found a mask at home and let Song Jiajia wear it, and the two changed clothes and headed straight to Lu Hao’s house.

Lu Hao had been lying at home ever since he returned from Shenzhen.

Liu Fenglan didn’t mind, instead, she was attending to him with care.

When Chen Jinlan arrived at the door with Song Jiajia, she knocked on the door.

Liu Fenglan grumbled: "Who is it, if you break the door will you pay for it?"

Upon opening the door and seeing Chen Jinlan, Liu Fenglan’s face immediately darkened: "What are you doing here?"

She didn’t recognize Song Jiajia behind Chen Jinlan because Song Jiajia was wearing a mask.

Chen Jinlan pushed past Liu Fenglan and walked straight into the courtyard.

Liu Fenglan stumbled from the push and started cursing: "You wretched woman, how dare you push me!"

Chen Jinlan looked at Liu Fenglan coldly: "I have no time for you today, bring Lu Hao out for me!"
