20 years of restarting life

Chapter 3619

"These cousins ​​are used to living outside the mainland, and they just robbed a large sum of money from China. They see everyone as an idiot and a fat sheep, as if they were born to be used and exploited by the Lu family. I really don't know where they get their mysterious confidence from."

Zhao Chang'an gazed wistfully at the dazzling street scene outside the car window. He had been analyzing this matter for the past few days. Although it could be said that the matter was over, it was still very important to see clearly the vague truth behind the fog.

"Back then, Lu Xiaotian took the initiative to approach my dad and asked him for a favor. If he hadn't asked, this whole thing wouldn't have happened. Although I don't know the specifics of the Lu family's situation at the time, please don't say anything like, 'If my dad hadn't agreed, Lu Xiaotian would have sent Lu Feifei back to China or found a safe place to hide her.' Zhou Xiaowu wouldn't have spouted such self-deceiving nonsense."

A chilling glint appeared in Zhao Chang'an's eyes: "My dad agreed to this, and Shang Qingqing took Lu Feifei to the construction site. Zhou Xiaowu was killed while trying to hold off the pursuers. With such a tight schedule, how could they possibly get to the airport and catch a plane? As for hiding, two beautiful women, one tall and one short, and of different skin colors, are like two beacons in the darkness. They can hide!"

"My dad was already facing huge consequences for doing this. If they found out and stormed the construction site, not only would his career be over, but he might even face legal trouble. At first, my dad kept it a secret from everyone, and the two of them hid in my dad's bedroom, afraid to show their faces. It wasn't until the situation improved and the Lu family won and started to crack down that they showed up at the construction site. By then, Yin Wenxi didn't say anything when she found out, because it was icing on the cake. Your dad was the same way; he even started to try to please Lu Feifei, intentionally or unintentionally."

"As a result, Shang Qingqing hated my father. Although Lu Feifei didn't talk about it, the guilt in her heart made her think more than once that if she hadn't gone to the construction site and had just found a place to hide, would Zhou Xiaowu have been saved? As for Lu Xiaotian, such a shrewd person, how could he not see what kind of person my father was? He should have known what would happen when he openly took out three nuggets of gold."

"Of course, this can also be explained this way: Lu Xiaotian knew that my father was secretly keeping Lu Feifei and Shang Qingqing. Once we returned to China, as long as Yin Wenxi or Xia Wenyang reported it, my father would be finished, and his only option would be to go back to the countryside to farm. So he used this method to shut Yin Wenxi and your father up. However, he could have met with Yin Wenxi and Xia Wenyang privately and used the gold nugget to shut them up. But he didn't do that; instead, he took it out openly in front of all three of them."

"It can be said that without these three nuggets of gold, Yin Wenxi would not have formed an alliance with your father so quickly, and your father would not have had his first start-up capital so easily. He then used the profits of the brick and tile factory to bribe Yin Wenxi, Li Yongzhang and other parasites, purchased a large number of red bricks from the brick and tile factory, and successfully became the general manager of the First Construction Company."

Zhao Chang'an said, "Without the profits from the brick and tile factory, even if he used some bribes and flattery to eventually become the general manager of the First Construction Company, and then tried to target my father as soon as he took office, Li Yongzhang and the others would not agree. They would even warn him not to retaliate as soon as he took office. By the same token, if he can't target my father, he can't demolish the sawmill in a short time, and he won't have the funds to invest in this comprehensive market. In the next two or three years, as Anju Construction, Luyuan Group, and Shancheng Construction enter the Shancheng real estate market in a big way, and as the overall frame structure becomes the mainstream, the entire First Construction Company's construction team, precast panel factory, and wood formwork factory will fall into losses. Only the sawmill will be booming because of the new furniture for the new house. At that time, even if your father wanted to be greedy, he wouldn't be able to get much money."

"Although your father likes to take shortcuts and be opportunistic, there has to be a way to do it. He is also a man with ideals, foresight, and ability. Under these circumstances, he might not be so greedy, but would try his best to revive the First Construction Company from the brink of bankruptcy. Without the money and power of his family to back him up, Xia Wuyue might still be a street urchin, but he wouldn't become as despicable as a pig or a dog, because before he does, the iron fist of the law will make him kneel down and call him 'father.' In that case, the lives and destinies of our two families might be completely different from what they are now, completely rewritten."

Zhao Chang'an's words were like opening a door to a new world for Xia Wenzhuo, and a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes.

Lu Xiaotian asked Zhao Shubin for help, and Zhao risked his life to help. Later, when it came time to express gratitude, the three foremen at the construction site each gave him a gold nugget, and they did so all at once in front of all three of them. Xia Wenzhuo had been surprised by this before, but hadn't thought much of it. Now, reflecting on it, it seemed rife with a strong sense of conspiracy.

But this doesn't make sense, does it?
"I'll ask my dad about this next time I go back. I'll also go see Yin Wenxi when I go back to North America this time and ask him about it."

Zhao Chang'an always felt that there was something strange about this matter. Although more than ten years had passed since the incident, Zhao Chang'an had always been very interested in the rich resources and simple people of the African continent and wanted to help the African people get rich and become masters of their own destiny.

Currently, among the Chinese who have left China to develop in Africa in the past two or three decades, especially in sub-Saharan Africa, the Lu family is among the most successful.

In addition, given the existing ties between the two families, if Zhao Chang'an were to enter the African continent to benefit the local people and instead of seeking an alliance with the Lu family, he estimated that the Lu family, given the nature of people like Lu Xiaotian, would definitely try to trip him up.

Therefore, he needs to know exactly where things went wrong, which led Lu Xiaotian to use this method to frame his own father.

“I was afraid that as soon as you asked, he would call Lu Xiaotian to take credit. Lu Feifei said that Yin Wenxi had called her father and talked about the difficulties in North America. The implication was that he wanted to go back to Cape Town, but he didn’t have the money to buy a plane ticket.”

Xia Wenzhuo was immediately unwilling when he heard that Zhao Chang'an was going to see Yin Wenxi to inquire about the aid he received back then.

Xia Wenzhuo has always had his own thoughts about the Yin family, including knowing that Yin Wan is now extremely fat and is picking up men on the street, that Yin Wenxi and his wife are making money by stringing beads for Zhang Qinying, and that Yin Shaoyang is marrying a woman from the Geng family, who is already pregnant.
