Xu Feng was still lost in his dreams, dreaming of the future, when he was suddenly dragged out of bed. His mind was still foggy and he asked, "Who is it? So early in the morning?"
"You little brat, get up right now, your older brother is waiting for you downstairs." It was his mother's voice.
"Hey, Mom, what time is it? Let me sleep a little longer." He pushed his mother's hand away, tilted his head back to continue sleeping, but before he could fall down, his mother grabbed his hair.
"Hey, hey, hey!! Mom! What are you doing!! Let go, it hurts, I haven't slept well yet!"
"Sleep my ass! Do you know you've caused trouble? Huh? Your older brother looks really angry. Wake up, go find out what's going on, get up now!" Wu Xiuli's face turned pale with anxiety. It was almost eleven o'clock, and her nephew came over with a livid face. Needless to say, something serious had happened. She knew her nephew well. Not only was he outstanding, but his interpersonal skills were also impeccable. He spoke succinctly and was very emotionally stable. Otherwise, Yang Ailan wouldn't have married into the Xu family in the first place. She had been married into the Xu family for over twenty years, and this was the first time she had ever seen Xu Ran with such a cold expression.
Thinking about the projects her son had recently boasted about, Wu Xiuli felt even more uneasy. Fuming with anger, she resorted to ruthless violence.
Five minutes later, Xu Feng huddled on the sofa like a quail, almost shivering under Xu Ran's icy gaze.
Even with his mind in a state of confusion, he knew that there was probably a problem with the project, because the only thing his older cousin was involved with was his most recent and only project, and it had run into trouble.
"The Qinshui project must be halted immediately until I have investigated the matter thoroughly," Xu Ran dropped a bombshell right from the start.
Work halted?
"Why?" Xu Feng was taken aback. The project had only been underway for a week, and now it was going to be stopped. He, the general contractor, had barely settled in when he was about to lose money.
"I'm only here to inform you. You don't need to worry about anything else! Also, I want to ask you, did you hurt anyone during the paperwork?" Xu Ran clenched his teeth, barely managing to control himself from killing the man in front of him! Before coming, he had roughly learned some details. Before this project started, a family of four was brutally murdered, not a single one spared! He had become an accomplice to this heinous crime! Thinking of this, he could almost picture his grandfather fainting from anger. The old man had always been incorruptible and intolerant of any wrongdoing. If this happened… he didn't dare to imagine! Now, he could only hope that his cousin was unaware of the situation! Otherwise, he wouldn't mind personally sending him to jail!
"Hurt someone? How could that be? I'm just doing a construction project, why would I hurt someone? I'm not crazy!" Xu Feng stood up in shock, his eyes wide, not understanding what his older cousin meant. No matter how ruthless he was, he would never kill someone for money.
Having learned what he wanted to know, Xu Ran breathed a slight sigh of relief, stood up, and ordered, "Call them immediately to stop work. Within an hour, someone from the Qingshui project will come down to take over. If you cause trouble, I'll send you to jail! From now on, you're not allowed to use my connections for anything. If you're capable, go make your own way. If you're not, go home and farm!" After saying these words, Xu Ran snorted coldly and strode away.
Xu Feng's younger brother, although not a bad person by nature, has been a troublemaker since childhood, is ambitious and eager to do things. Before he has even done anything, he announces it to the whole world. I thought that after returning from studying abroad, he would be more mature, but who knew that he was still an idiot who could be easily manipulated!
Yes, he's been manipulated! There's probably a vicious person behind this kid!
Even just seeing Xu Ran's back, you could see his anger.
The mother and son looked at each other in the living room, bewildered. "Mom, what's wrong with my older cousin? Why do I have to go back to farming? Why do I have to...stop working?"
Wu Xiuli frowned, watching her son pacing around in a fit of rage. Her heart sank deeper and deeper; the hurt was likely more than just…
Despite his deep resentment, Xu Feng dared not disobey Xu Ran, and after venting for a while, he made a phone call.
Looking at the dust billowing in the distance and the tireless excavators, Qu Bo felt incredibly relieved. His journey was about to begin!
On his fair skin, a mixture of pride and arrogance coexisted!
When Chen Lao Er received the call, he went out to look for the person. From afar, he saw Qu Bo standing on the broken walls with his arms crossed, looking quite spirited.
"Brother Qu, it's Boss Feng on the phone." Chen Lao Er's cheerful voice came through. "Brother Qu, Boss Feng must have something urgent to discuss with you, he's pressing you hard."
Qu Bo was in high spirits when he heard the words, so he got down and strode towards the mobile prefabricated house.
"Stop work? Why?" The voice on the phone felt like a bucket of cold water had been poured over Qu Bo, sending chills down his spine.
"I'm asking you, did you have someone do it when you were demolishing the house?" Xu Feng's angry voice rang in my ears.
These sudden words made Qu Bo's shoulders tremble and his scalp tingle; he was momentarily speechless.
"Qu Bo? Qu Bo?"
"Yes, yes, Mr. Feng, what you said is definitely not true, not at all. How could we possibly lay a hand on them? I just brought them money and made them sign willingly." They really didn't lay a hand on them, they just tied them up and made them sign. Who knew that the man was so stubborn? He hanged himself the next day, and then the woman jumped into the water with her two children. It wasn't his fault, he didn't kill anyone.
"I don't care whether you've actually done anything or not. Immediately issue a notice to stop work and wait for my instructions before deciding on the next steps."
After hanging up the phone, Qu Bo slumped into a chair, his eyes glazed over.
It’s over…
Something must have happened...
In the Xu family study, Xu Ran finished reading the documents in his hand, his face turned pale, and he waved his hand, smashing the documents all over the floor!
"brute!"
Yang Ailan picked it up with a grim face, her complexion turning ashen. She almost gritted her teeth, "That beast!" Four lives were enough to shake the foundation of her Yang family! If her father knew about this, he would probably faint from anger! And Xu Ran, he had to come down too! Suddenly, Yuan Zhuan's all-seeing eyes appeared in her mind. For a moment, Yang Ailan felt that Yuan Zhuan knew everything.
"Old Xu, this matter must be reported as soon as possible." Such a big thing can't be kept secret forever. If we wait for the higher-ups to investigate, we'll be in trouble. Right now, we can only report it first and try to get Old Xu out of this mess.
“Okay, I’ll do as you say. Go to Yuan Zhuan’s place again and take this with you.” Xu Ran took out a small wooden box, about the size of a palm, from the locked drawer on the left.
"good."
Qu Bo woke up from his dream in a cold sweat. Instantly, there was a knock on the door, and Chen Lao Er's voice was very clear outside, "Brother Qu, Brother Qu, get up quickly, something's happened! A lot of people have come and taken away all the excavators. None of them are from the construction site!"
