Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife

Chapter 1248: Chapter 1249: A Master of Scheming

Ending the call, Ning Gang pondered for a while, made several calls, issued some directives, and then called Ning Ge’s boss, Pan Gongnian.

Pan Gongnian was completely shocked to receive Ning Gang’s call, and his face turned pale upon hearing his instructions. After hanging up, he quickly issued several orders to halt all current work, focusing all efforts on investigating the Chiang and Loo families, and sent someone to Guicheng to find Ning Ge.

Meanwhile, someone secretly rushed to Guangcheng by plane.

All of this was carried out urgently, hidden from the Chiang and Loo families.

Simultaneously, the Loo family had just seen off Chiang Conghe and his son.

Lu Zhenhua looked at Elder Loo, barely daring to breathe, but couldn’t help speaking: "Dad, handing it over to that brat, can it work? He’s a greenhorn who’s never been involved in our business. If he messes up... Anyway, I don’t trust him."

"You think I trust him?" Elder Loo sneered, "Your brother-in-law, dumb as a pig."

"Then Dad, why..." Lu Zhenhua couldn’t understand Elder Loo’s intentions, if he didn’t believe, then why use him to transport goods.

Elder Loo sighed deeply, saying, "There’s no choice; they’re pressing hard, if we don’t send it over, our business is done. In this trade, the biggest fear is a lack of trust. Half our family relies on this; we must be cautious."

Lu Zhenhua still didn’t quite understand.

"Chiang Conghe wants to elevate his son, eventually pulling the Loo family out of the way, by proposing to let Jiang Dafang’s company transport this batch of goods—both taking a share and introducing him to the trade." Elder Loo sneered, "A wishful thinker, does he take me for a dead man? Cough, cough, cough..."

Lu Zhenhua quickly helped him get comfortable, asking: "Then Dad, you still agreed..."

"I agreed so that the kid would distract those watching us. Haven’t you heard of the tactic to openly repair the plank roads while secretly marching to Chen Cang?" Elder Loo said.

Lu Zhenhua thought for a moment: "Is that your strategy, Dad?"

"Chiang Conghe wants to elevate Jiang Dafang; let him try, it helps us divert attention." Elder Loo spoke two more sentences before coughing again.

Lu Zhenhua suddenly realized: "Dad, your plans are always brilliant!"

"Having done this business for years, our family has earned enough. Chiang Conghe wants to pave the way for his son, but, as he said, it’s time we retired!" Elder Loo snorted with a cold laugh: "But retiring doesn’t mean handing it to him for his son; no way. I want him to know, without our Loo family, he’s nothing!"

"Dad, you mean this is our last deal?" Lu Zhenhua asked.

Elder Loo nodded: "I don’t know if it’s because I’ve grown old and timid, but I feel uneasy. It’s time to retire; neither you nor Shaojun are meant for this line of work. We’ve earned enough; focus on legitimate business and as long as you’re not too foolish, it should last several generations."

Lu Zhenhua blushed, mumbling: "Dad, I’m not capable." Then paused and continued: "What about sis..."

"Take better care of her afterwards; Chiang Conghe is unreliable, just privately give her money." Elder Loo had a dark expression, then asked: "How is Qingqing? Have you checked!"

Hearing this, Lu Zhenhua felt uneasy; he hadn’t checked but didn’t dare admit it, so said: "I checked; everything’s good, Chiang Conghe didn’t deceive us, she’s doing well."

Only then did Elder Loo nod reassuredly, completely unaware that the "well" according to Lu Zhenhua meant Chiang Qing was living in hell!
