After Si Jin left, Bai Sichen immediately sprang to his feet, grabbed a chair, and slammed it against the door.
It made a loud "bang".
Wu Ting sat beside her, without saying a word.
Only after Bai Sichen calmed down a bit did she dare to offer words of comfort:
"Si Chen, don't be angry. We were careless this time."
Once you've made a fortune from that land in Hainan, you should take back Bai Sijin's shares and kick him out of the company.
Don't be angry, okay?
"Mm." Bai Sichen nodded.
He vowed that once he turned his life around, he would immediately blacklist Bai Sijin!
Make that bastard go home and kneel down to beg him!
Bai Sichen returned home with great ambitions, devoting himself entirely to Hainan.
Raising funds and making purchases were done without any delay.
However, early on the third day, I received a call from the debt collection company.
"What? You're saying that the land in the South China Sea has a huge debt?"
“Yes,” the debt collection company’s customer service representative replied, “There was an accident on this land before. An unfinished building was constructed there, which killed more than a dozen workers.”
The original owner, fearing responsibility, absconded with the money, and no one dared to buy in after that.
Now that you've bought it, you'll naturally have to bear the costs of these workers' injuries and the unpaid wages owed for the unfinished project…
Upon hearing this, Bai Sichen felt dizzy and couldn't even stand up straight, collapsing back onto the sofa.
After pausing for half a minute, I finally mustered the courage to ask:
"How much compensation will be owed in total?"
"Including the workers' injury insurance and the outstanding payments for the unfinished building, you'll have to pay a total of 140 million..."
140 million...
140 million...
Bai Sichen finally broke down, hung up the phone, and silently shed tears.
140 million!
Where did he get so much money?
Moreover, he invested not only his entire fortune in this land, but also the money of the company's shareholders!
If he loses everything, he will definitely lose his position as chairman.
When Wu Ting returned from grocery shopping, she opened the door and saw her listless son.
The vegetable basket in her hand immediately fell to the ground, and she rushed over to cup Bai Sichen's pale face in her hands:
"Honey, what's wrong? Don't scare Mommy. What's wrong? Tell Mommy what's wrong."
Bai Sichen leaned against Wu Ting's chest, his tears soaking her shoulder.
"Mom, there's a problem with that piece of land in Hainan. If we buy it, we'll have to pay 140 million yuan in compensation."
That Mr. Wang lied to me; I can't get through to him on the phone now.
We're finished, we're finished, Mom!
Upon hearing this, Wu Ting felt as if she had been struck by lightning. Her heart skipped a beat, and she had difficulty breathing, almost fainting to the ground.
Seeing this, Bai Sichen quickly helped her to the sofa and took out a few quick-acting heart pills, which finally allowed Wu Ting to catch her breath.
"No matter what I do, I can't escape this colorful world..."
Just then, Wu Ting's phone rang.
Wu Ting picked it up with lingering fear; it displayed an unfamiliar number.
She pressed the call button, and Si Jin's composed voice came from the other end:
"Aunt Wu, I am Si Jin."
Bai Sichen exploded in an instant, wishing he could smash his phone:
"Bai Sijin, it was you who did this! You're the one who messed with that piece of land in Hainan, aren't you?!"
Si Jin's mocking laughter came through the phone:
"Brother, you really are stupid! That land in Hainan had problems five years ago, how could it be me who did it?"
Wu Ting snatched the phone away, her tone extremely harsh:
"Bai Sijin, why are you calling at this hour? Are you here to laugh at us?"
"No, I'm here to show you the right path," Si Jin said.
“I have information about the whereabouts of Mr. Wang, who sold the land to you, and I can hand him over to the court at any time to clear your name.”
However, I want you and your son to transfer all your company shares to me and get out of the Bai Group from now on. What do you think?
Without a second thought, Bai Sichen immediately refused: "Bai Sijin, you're dreaming!"
"But brother, you have no other choice but to use this."
Si Jin's voice was clear and pleasant, yet it sounded like a demonic voice from hell surrounding the mother and child, cutting off all their escape routes.
