Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife

Chapter 1239: Chapter 1240: Can’t Trust This Traitor

Jiang Conghe wasn’t too concerned about the matter initially, but upon hearing Old Master Loo’s sinister words, his heart skipped a beat. He didn’t dare to be negligent, so he put away his arrogance, sat up slightly, and said, "Father-in-law, speak."

Old Master Loo looked at his attitude, finding it even more disgusting and disconcerting. Such a treacherous person could betray you at any moment.

Yet, at this stage, he couldn’t abandon Jiang Conghe so easily. After all, he had been elevated with the Loo Family’s resources, and among all their connections, his position as a commander was the highest.

The Loo Family still had to rely on him!

Thinking of this, Old Master Loo couldn’t help but feel uneasy and angry at heart.

"This batch of goods is already being watched, and we don’t know if it’s by the authorities or the underworld. We must act quickly," Old Master Loo said calmly, "So you need to make some moves on your end; use whoever you can in Guangcheng."

"But won’t that create a big fuss and attract attention?" Jiang Conghe hesitated and said, "It’s better to lie low and wait for things to calm down..."

"Didn’t you hear that they’re urgently pushing for the goods on the other end?" Old Master Loo snapped angrily.

He was furious!

Jiang Conghe’s face darkened, and he said, "If you insist on making a move, it’s not impossible, but if we attract attention, the Loo Family will be in the spotlight!"

He mentioned the Loo Family, not himself.

This clearly distinguished the two families, and Old Master Loo couldn’t help but feel a chill of suspicion growing in his heart.

"Do you know how much this batch of goods is worth? Guicheng has already paid, but the goods haven’t been delivered. If we don’t make an effort, it’ll be gone. And if we can’t ship the batch from Guangcheng, we won’t receive the deposit, which would mean losing half the Loo Family’s wealth!" Old Master Loo said coldly, "You need money to campaign for that position, don’t you?"

It was unfortunate; the goods barely moved before this issue arose, blocking them. Now that the payment for the goods was already made, but the goods hadn’t left, they couldn’t get the money, turning the goods into a hot potato.

Jiang Conghe pursed his lips and after a while said, "Whatever you say, Old Master."

Old Master Loo snorted, squinting at him, and said, "Your wings have hardened now. I can’t control you, nor do I intend to! But remember, over these years, who helped you rise? If you don’t appreciate that, so be it. But don’t forget, the fortunes of both families are linked. If the Loo Family suffers, you, as their son-in-law, won’t be spared either!"

Repeating old advice, Jiang Conghe felt disdainful but respectfully said, "You’re right, Old Master." Yet, his heart was full of indifference.

Old Master Loo didn’t notice and only asked, "How is Qingqing in the United States?"

Jiang Conghe’s heart jumped, and a trace of panic flashed across his face as he said, "She’s doing well. The doctors say she’s recovering nicely, and I’ve spoken with her over the phone."

Old Master Loo noticed his moment of panic, felt something was amiss, but didn’t dwell on it, saying, "Take good care of the child!"

Jiang Conghe smiled in agreement, glanced at the time, and rose to take his leave.

"Go ahead. I’ll have Old Zhu contact you about what to do next!"

"Yes!"

Old Master Loo watched Jiang Conghe walk out the door, and after a long while, grabbed the teacup next to him and hurled it, "This traitor!" Thinking further, he felt something was amiss and said, "Zhenhua, when you have time, check on how Qingqing is doing in the United States? I don’t trust that traitor."

"Dad..." Lu Zhenhua frowned. With everything going on, why worry about that girl, but he didn’t dare to argue and had to agree for now. Whether he’d check or not would depend on resolving the urgent matters at hand.
