Chapter 329 Beneath the Surface



"How is that possible?"

Song Lu suddenly stood up from her chair, her face filled with shock and disbelief.

Whether you can accept it or not, that's the truth.

Wang Qian shrugged. "Think back carefully, weren't those events back then full of coincidences?"

Song Lu fell silent.

She had already guessed it. If she still didn't make the connection after Wang Qian's blunt reminder, she was either stupid or deceiving herself.

Eight years ago, he and Zhao Kang were deeply in love.

At that time, Zhao Kang was working in a company under Jiang Zhenghua's name. Because of his strong ability, sense of responsibility, and willingness to endure hardship, he was quickly promoted to the position of supervisor.

But one night, when she and Zhao Kang were strolling hand in hand, they were harassed by two thugs.

As her boyfriend, Zhao Kang naturally wouldn't stand idly by and immediately started fighting with the two thugs.

One of the thugs got angry, pulled out a machete, and prepared to commit violence in the street.

As it turned out, the thug seemed to have been drinking; instead of hitting Zhao Kang, he cut off one of his companion's arms.

At that moment, both she and Zhao Kang were terrified and at a loss for what to do.

Someone had their arm cut off!

If this matter really escalates to the police station, they will definitely bear some responsibility.

However, just when they were at their wits' end, something happened that shocked them.

The thug who chopped off his companion's arm actually threw the machete in front of Zhao Kang, then pointed at Zhao Kang and shouted, "You're so ruthless! You were carrying a controlled knife and you even chopped off my friend's arm! I'm calling the police to arrest you!"

Just as they were about to argue, the thug who had lost an arm pointed at Zhao Kang and shouted, "Murder! Someone's killed someone! Everyone come quick!"

At this shout, several people rushed out from the surrounding area.

One of them was Jiang Zhenghua.

After understanding what had happened, Jiang Zhenghua said to Zhao Kang, "They're in cahoots. Now you can't reason with them. If you call the police, you'll not only have to pay a lot of money in compensation, but you'll also face jail time."

"President Jiang, what should we do?"

She and Zhao Kang were extremely anxious and had no choice but to rely on Jiang Zhenghua as their only lifeline.

"You guys go first, I'll help you handle this."

Jiang Zhenghua reached out and patted Zhao Kang on the shoulder. "Don't worry, I'll help you sort this out, but you need to leave first, otherwise it will be difficult for me to handle."

At that time, they were all in a panic, but they also had extreme trust in Jiang Zhenghua, their wealthy and powerful boss.

So, she and Zhao Kang followed Jiang Zhenghua's advice and left.

After that, Zhao Kang hid away and dared not see anyone, let alone go to work.

Later, Jiang Zhenghua found them and told them that the matter had been resolved.

It was solved with money!

And it's a huge sum of money, 300,000!

Eight years ago, this number would have been enough to terrify an ordinary person.

Just as she and Zhao Kang were feeling grateful, Jiang Zhenghua said that the matter had been resolved for them, but the money still needed to be returned.

However, since Zhao Kang could no longer show his face, he had no choice but to continue to find places to hide.

As for how to repay the money, that's up to her.

She was penniless at that time, with nothing but a high school diploma.

Even if he finds a job, the salary won't be much, and he'll never be able to pay back Jiang Zhenghua's money in his lifetime.

At this point, Jiang Zhenghua offered her another way out.

Working for Jiang Zhenghua would not only give her a monthly salary of 300 yuan, but if she worked for him for ten years, the 300,000 yuan they owed Jiang Zhenghua would be wiped clean.

At that time, they had no choice but to follow Jiang Zhenghua's arrangements.

From then on, Zhao Kangdong went into hiding and ended up with a group of thugs.

As for her, she naturally transformed into Jiang Zhenghua's personal secretary.

At first, she thought Jiang Zhenghua was a very good person, that he worked very hard and did everything very well.

As time went on, she gradually realized that something was wrong.

Although Jiang Zhenghua was quite old, he was a complete lecherous old man who only cared about money and beautiful women.

Often, they will do some disgusting and despicable things.

What she found most unacceptable was that Jiang Zhenghua was also planning to make advances towards her, and not just once or twice.

But each time, she either made up an excuse to get away with it or forcibly broke free.

On one occasion, Jiang Zhenghua, as if possessed, tried to force himself on her. She was finally driven to desperation and said that she had taken photos of Jiang Zhenghua's indecent behavior. She threatened to show these photos to Jiang Zhenghua's wife if he dared to mess with her.

Jiang Zhenghua was frightened.

From then on, although he always gave her disgusted looks, he was afraid that she would do something desperate, so he never dared to take the final step.

However, over the past eight years, she has also been asked to handle many disreputable matters.

Over time, she began to despair.

But every time she tried to leave, Jiang Zhenghua would threaten her with Zhao Kang.

If she dares to leave, or expose any shameful secrets, Jiang Zhenghua will have the man who lost an arm sue Zhao Kang.

Not wanting Zhao Kang to go to jail, she had no choice but to endure it again and again.

Just now, in order to make Wang Qian return to Nanming County lying down, Jiang Zhenghua actually forced her to go find her boyfriend Zhao Kang.

For the past eight years, Zhao Kang has not dared to go out to find a job, but he has maintained good relationships with a group of hooligans.

Jiang Zhenghua wanted to use her boyfriend Zhao Kang to hire some thugs to cripple Wang Qian.

Unexpectedly, Wang Qian was already waiting for her when she left Jiang Zhenghua's residence, and he even revealed her unknown secret in one sentence.

"What? You still can't figure it out?"

Wang Qian added, "Those two thugs from eight years ago were just actors arranged by Jiang Zhenghua."

"Whether it was teasing you, cutting off a companion's arm, or later leading you by the nose, it was all carefully planned by him."

Song Lu's face turned even uglier.

This is all such a coincidence!

She is now almost certain that what happened back then was a trap set by Jiang Zhenghua, with the aim of breaking up her and Zhao Kang.

Then, he would gradually lure her to his side, preparing to force her to submit.

If she hadn't been so principled and hadn't happened to have caught Jiang Zhenghua in the act, she probably would have become Jiang Zhenghua's plaything like many other pitiful women.

She glanced at Wang Qian, and a hint of wariness rose in her eyes again.

"Who exactly are you? And how do you know all this? Why are you telling me all this, and what do you want?"

She didn't know how Wang Qian knew these secrets of hers.

but,

Ultimately, they had no relation to each other.

She absolutely did not believe that Wang Qian had come to help her.

If it wasn't to help her, then there must be another motive.

Given the extent of the other party's understanding of her, if they harbor any ill intentions, it would pose a huge threat to both her and Zhao Kang.
