That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 1469 I'll haunt you even as a ghost

In a small villa in a coastal port in Guangdong Province, Liang Xiaomin stood by the window, watching the sea gradually sink into darkness in the distance.

In the past, Liang Xiaomin would always be in a particularly good mood whenever night fell, because night was the time to start working, and when dawn broke, her assets would increase again, easily and without interruption.

However, once this asset expands to a certain extent, another hidden worry arises.

Black wealth is like the night; it cannot be exposed to the light. Wealth must be transformed so that it can be openly displayed in the sunlight—a process commonly known as "laundering."

Those foolish, arrogant nouveau riche don't understand the importance of this transformation process, and they will inevitably suffer misfortune sooner or later. But Liang Xiaomin is not an ordinary person; she has a detailed plan.

Fenghua Apparel is an exceptionally high-quality company with a nationwide retail network that allows for a large volume of transactions without the need for invoices. As long as you can get involved with them, even for just a few years, all your hidden worries can be easily resolved.

Liang Xiaomin was originally confident about this matter. After all, Fenghua Clothing was built up by her husband, Guo Donglun. It was just a matter of cross-shareholding, and Fenghua Clothing would not suffer any losses. They had to give them face.

However, when Liang Xiaomin asked Guo Donglun to "talk" with Li Ye, Guo Donglun refused. His reason was simple: "I don't care about things in the company anymore. You can make the decisions yourself."

It would be a miracle if Liang Xiaomin could make the decision.

Without Guo Donglun's endorsement, Li Ye completely ignored her, and Hao Jian even dared to feign politeness towards her or avoid her altogether.

However, the matter of clearing her name was inevitable, because Liang Xiaomin could sense from the attitudes of several business partners that everyone was quietly cutting ties with her.

Before a storm arrives, the weather is always calm, but after the calm comes a devastating downpour, soaking everyone exposed outdoors.

That's why Liang Xiaomin went to the capital with a stiff upper lip and tried to negotiate with Li Ye, putting on a brave front but being weak inside.

The negotiation went very badly, and Liang Xiaomin had no choice but to resort to a desperate measure: using Hao Jian's past to blackmail Li Ye.

But just the day before yesterday morning, several newspapers in the south suddenly published Fenghua Clothing's expansion plan, and then that afternoon, Zhou Lijuan, who had been asked by relevant departments to explain the situation, was released.

Liang Xiaomin's mood immediately plummeted to its lowest point.

[A projected investment of one billion US dollars? If you have a billion US dollars, why would you still be selling clothes? You only make a few cents per garment.]

So, the "Fenghua" in Fenghua Clothing is actually a Hong Kong trademark? Hao Jian, you've expanded your operations so much, but it's just a small operation like Pengcheng No. 7 Factory?

But regardless of whether Liang Xiaomin believed it or not, or whether she accepted it or not, the people above believed it. For the ten billion dollars promised by Pei Wencong, let alone Hao Jian's speculation, even if he was a murderer, "everything is negotiable".

It was inevitable that Liang Xiaomin would suffer a backlash, as many of her most important friends were implicated in the incident. If it weren't for Guo Donglun standing behind her, she would have gotten into trouble too.

"Dingling bell~"

Liang Xiaomin's phone suddenly rang.

She frowned as she answered the phone: "Hello? Who is this?"

A panicked voice came from the other end: "Sister Liang, our warehouse in XX Port was raided, and Xiao Wu and Hu Zai were arrested. I only managed to escape because I came out to buy some things."

Liang Xiaomin exclaimed in shock, "What? The warehouse was raided? Who did it?"

"Several departments are working together, Sister Liang, this is a huge problem. I don't know what to do. Where are you?"

Liang Xiaomin trembled all over, but she still asked, "The warehouse was raided, how did Xiao Wu and Hu Zai get arrested, and what were you doing in the warehouse?"

"They weren't caught in the warehouse; they came directly to our company. Have we been betrayed? Sister Liang, where are you? I have nowhere to go."

"."

"Go hide in Hexi Village for a while, I'll come pick you up in an hour."

Liang Xiaomin quickly hung up the phone, packed her essentials quickly, and left the small villa.

She won't go to Hexi Village anymore. Since they've found her company, they must have found some evidence, and the situation is already very critical.

Even the confidant who just called him might not have really escaped by sheer luck; he might be fishing under the control of the police, trying to use Liang Xiaomin to gain merit and reduce his sentence.

Liang Xiaomin left the small port and called Guo Donglun while driving, but that damned woman answered the phone.

"Hey, where?"

“This is your sister Liang. Let Donglun answer the phone.”

"I'm sorry, Sister Liang, Mr. Guo has just gone to sleep."

"Then wake him up, immediately!" "I'm sorry, Sister Liang, Mr. Guo hasn't been feeling well lately; we can't disturb his sleep."

"I'm CNM!"

Liang Xiaomin angrily hung up the phone.

She had also worked as Guo Donglun's nanny before, so she knew what kind of person Guo Donglun's nanny was.

Left with no other choice, Liang Xiaomin started calling Guo Donglun's older brother and sister. After all, she had served Guo Donglun for so many years and even bore him a son. If she really pushed him too far, none of them would be happy.

"Hey, big brother, this is Liang Xiaomin."

"If you need anything, talk to Donglun, don't come to me."

"."

"Second sister, it's me, Liang Xiaomin. Don't hang up yet. If something happens to me, you won't be any better off."

"."

Guo Donglun's second sister paused, then said coldly, "What do you want to say?"

Liang Xiaomin said, "Someone raided my company and warehouse, but I haven't committed any heinous crime. Why are they all refusing to answer my calls?"

Guo's second sister paused for a moment and then said, "There's a batch of containers to be loaded onto a ship at Pier 11 today. Get there before 11 o'clock and I'll arrange for you to leave."

"what?"

Liang Xiaomin said in shock, "Second Sister, you want me to leave? What terrible mistake have I made? Compared to those people, I'm just a nobody. Why are you treating me like this?"

"Because you messed with the wrong person, you've really messed with the world."

Guo's second sister said sternly, "I'm arranging for you to leave tonight, which is already for the sake of the child. The child can't have a mother who is a convict."

"."

Liang Xiaomin felt a bitter taste in her mouth and could only swallow it silently.

She started getting involved in the waterway business a few years ago. The Guo family knew about it, but they neither supported nor stopped her. Now that the tide has turned, she has to bear all the blame herself.

As long as the green hills remain, there's no worry about running out of firewood.

Finally, following her second sister's instructions, Liang Xiaomin quietly hid inside a shipping container.

The container contains water, lights, and food, which can meet basic living needs. If we can survive for ten days or half a month, we can reach the world of freedom.

Liang Xiaomin runs a waterway business, so she naturally has overseas funds. Given time, she can change her identity and make a comeback.

Two days later, Liang Xiaomin felt the container begin to sway slowly, which meant it had already been loaded onto the ship.

"Ah~"

Liang Xiaomin sighed, a sudden pang of regret rising in her heart.

When I was working as Guo Donglun's nanny, although my life was monotonous pushing a wheelchair every day, it was peaceful and stable, and Guo Donglun would take care of everything.

Later, she became an enviable independent woman, and faced with that intoxicating wealth, she was no longer satisfied with pushing other people's wheelchairs.

There are gains and losses in everything; it's all fate!

Just as Liang Xiaomin was filled with emotion, the container suddenly began to roll over repeatedly, causing Liang Xiaomin inside to fall and get completely disoriented.

When she finally managed to stand still, she touched a handful of water.

seawater.

"Bastards, you're all bastards! Guo Donglun, I'll haunt you even in death!!!"

"Ahhh, help!"
