Before Xue Mingliang found a chance to confess the matter to Xue Wangjun, he heard about a big event from another maintenance worker in the factory.

"Liang Qiushui, does the factory director really want to promote you to be the director of the branch factory?"

Liang Qiushui shook his head proudly, "Of course. How many years have I worked in the factory? I have devoted myself to it! It is my turn to be the director of the branch factory."

Those who were curious looked at Xue Mingliang and said, "But the royal family is here, can we trust the factory director's words..."

"Humph, being a royal relative is so great?! It still depends on strength! Can you get things done just by relying on relationships?"

Liang Qiu Shui's last half of the sentence was almost addressed to Xue Mingliang. Xue Mingliang pretended not to care, but in fact he walked into the warehouse and clenched his fists.

Didn't they agree to give him the position of branch director? But he gave it to Liang Qiushui instead!

Xue Mingliang was furious. Since Xue Wangjun was unkind, then don't blame him for being unjust.

Just at this moment, his son called.

"Dad, I beg you, please help me pay back Brother Wang's money. If I don't give him the money, he will beat me to death!"

Xue Mingliang listened to his son's plea and said, "Okay, Dad will pay it back for you."

"Really? Thank you, Dad!"

Xue Mingliang couldn't find Li Minxue, so he went directly to Lao Wang Garment Factory to wait for Brother Wang.

Seeing Xue Mingliang, Brother Wang was not surprised at all. Instead, he handed him a cigarette.

"I knew you were going to come see me. Wouldn't it be better if you came earlier? Tell me, have you made up your mind?"

"Yes. I'll help you, but I want one hundred thousand."

"Holy crap! One hundred thousand, you're asking for too much?!"

Brother Wang didn't expect Xue Mingliang to be so greedy, and hesitated whether to agree to him.

Xue Mingliang sneered, "Only I can do this, and I will definitely not be able to stay in Xuejia after I finish it. Is it too much to ask for 100,000 as compensation? I want to start a new business, and I want to let Xue Wangjun know that he is not the only boss in this world."

"Okay, I have ambition!"

However, one hundred thousand was too expensive, so after some bargaining, Brother Wang finally decided to give seventy thousand.

"We agreed that you will pay me once the matter is done."

"no problem."

Xue Mingliang knew where Xue Wangjun kept the documents. Xue Wangjun often asked him to go to his office for tea. He had seen Xue Wangjun put a piece of documents packed in a brown paper bag into the safe.

However, Xue Wangjun was out on business these two days and was not in the office. The other key to the office was in Jiang Qiuyu's hand. Xue Mingliang could not ask Jiang Qiuyu for it, so he had to find another way.

After much thought, he decided that going to Xue's house would be the quickest way to get it, so Xue Mingliang went to Xue's house under the pretext of visiting Xu Suzhen.

Xu Suzhen was very happy to see him and asked him to come in and sit down: "Come on, what do you want to eat? Noodles or rice?"

"Noodles."

After Xue Mingliang finished speaking, Xu Suzhen immediately went to the kitchen to prepare the food, chopping meat and vegetables and kneading dough.

"Mingliang, it's hard for you to still be thinking about me. Are you busy at work in the factory recently?"

"I'm not busy. Auntie, Wangjun takes good care of me, and I came here specially to thank him."

"That's fine." Xu Suzhen was very happy. "As long as you brothers support each other, I will be worthy of our ancestors."

While Xue Mingliang was talking to Xu Suzhen, he looked around the room, trying to find the office key.

At this time Xue Jiayu came down from upstairs and frowned quickly when he saw Xue Mingliang, but still greeted him politely.

"Uncle."

"Why--!"

Xue Mingliang agreed, "I haven't seen you for a few days. You have grown taller again."

Xue Huanyu followed behind Xue Jiayu, but Xue Mingliang seemed not to notice and asked Xue Jiayu: "Jiayu, where do your parents usually keep the keys? They asked me to get the office key but I don't know where it is."

Xue Huanyu immediately said: "It's in the second shoe cabinet——"

Before she could finish her words, Xue Jiayu covered her mouth.

"Uncle, I don't know. Mom and Dad would have told you if they asked you to get the key, right? Then just go get it."

"Your parents were in a hurry and forgot to tell me. I'm your uncle, don't you believe me? Tell me quickly and don't delay your parents' business."

Xue Jiayu looked at Xue Mingliang coldly as he tried to find excuses, "I really don't know."

"All right."

Xue Mingliang secretly cursed in his heart why this kid was so vigilant!

Xue Mingliang was very anxious because he couldn't find the key, but he knew Xue Jiayu might have become suspicious, so he quickly found an excuse to leave Xue's house.

Xue Huanyu looked at Xue Jiayu in confusion, "Sister, can't you tell uncle? Don't mom and dad usually put the key on the second layer of the shoe cabinet?"

"Xiaoyu, you must be on guard against others. Uncle may not be a good person." Xue Jiayu patted her sister's head. "By the way, have you seen Li Minxue recently?"

Xue Huanyu shrank his neck in fear and said stiffly, "No."

Could it be that Xue Jiayu also saw Li Minxue last time?

"No, I'm just asking."

Seeing that Xue Jiayu didn't ask any more questions, Xue Huanyu breathed a sigh of relief.

On Monday when school started, the teacher asked those who participated in the physics competition to gather after class, so Xue Huanyu and Gu Yuan had to leave first.

Just as he arrived at the bottom of the teaching building, Gu Yuan covered his stomach and said, "I can't take it anymore, Xiaoyu, my stomach hurts so much, I ate too much at noon. I'm going to the toilet, wait for me!"

"good."

Xue Huanyu answered weakly. She was still worried about where Li Minxue would pop up from, and she walked downstairs of the teaching building bored.

Suddenly, a devilish voice sounded behind her.

"A little rain."

Xue Huanyu's back stiffened and she turned around with difficulty. Li Minxue, who was rarely wearing a decent suit, looked at her with raised eyebrows.

"Come here to mommy."

“…”

Xue Huanyu stepped back subconsciously, "You are not my mother. Have you forgotten that you have signed the agreement?"

"Legally, we can sever our mother-daughter relationship, but the fact that you are my child will never change. Xiaoyu, come here, don't make your mother angry."

Li Minxue's threat forced Xue Huanyu to do as she was told. She walked step by step to Li Minxue, her head almost lowering to the ground.

"Mom, what are you doing?"

"So good."

Li Minxue fiddled with her hair with satisfaction. "What can mom do? Mom just wants you to help me do something."

"What is it? I can't steal anymore!"

Xue Huanyu looked at her seriously, but Li Minxue chuckled in return.

"Silly boy, that's not stealing. That's helping mom."

Sure enough, he wanted her to steal something.

Xue Huanyu's heart sank, "I don't want it."

“Think it over before you answer.” Li Minxue’s hand slid from her head to her shoulders and squeezed them hard.

Xue Huanyu cried out in pain, "It hurts! What exactly do you want me to do? Tell me first!"

If she didn't agree, Li Minxue would probably crush her shoulders.

"Mom, I just want you to help me steal a document. Give me the document and I will disappear immediately."
