He even almost died at her hands in the end.

The two stared at each other, both expressionless, until a hint of hatred flashed across Xu Damao's face, then he gradually regained his composure, finally letting out a slow sigh, his tone both teasing and seemingly serious.

"Qin Huairu, tell me, how do you plan to die with me? Are you going to shout in the street that I raped you, or go back to the compound and call those old geezers to back you up?"

Qin Huairu stared coldly at Xu Damao. At this moment, she was finally certain that Xu Damao had never reformed; he was still the same wicked Xu Damao he always was!

Chapter 125: Da Mao, I'm begging you!

The moment Xu Damao saw Qin Huairu appear outside the car window, he knew that this scheming woman had come specifically to find him.

However, I am no longer the little projectionist with a bit of power I once was, and this year is no longer 76. My current status means I no longer need to resort to underhanded tactics.

For seven years, I spent every single minute in hatred. What kept me going was the hatred in my heart.

The woman before him was the source of that hatred; for those years, she constantly radiated hatred, which sustained him through it all.

He had once sworn to ruin this woman in front of him. Wasn't she willing to give up her reputation for her son? Wasn't she willing to give up everything for her son? Wasn't her son the one she cared about most?

Fine, then I'll ruin her son and make sure Bang Geng can never recover. I once swore that I would "repay" her properly in the future!

Qin Huairu's expression was uncertain, her mind in turmoil. Yes, how could she take him down with her?

She needs to save her son, but how can she do it?

Qin Huairu felt like she was on the verge of collapse. All her scheming was no longer effective. Looking at Xu Damao in front of her, she finally subconsciously resorted to the trick she knew best. Tears streamed down her face as she stepped forward, leaned against the car window, and spoke with a pleading expression.

"Da Mao, I beg you, please let Bang Geng go. He's still your nephew, and he even saved your life! He saved you during the earthquake that year, think about it! Da Mao, I'm begging you, please?"

As she spoke, Qin Huairu knelt down with her legs touching the car, her hands pressed against the car window, looking at Xu Damao with pleading eyes.

Xu Damao's thoughts were pulled back once again. Looking at the old woman in front of him, tears streaming down her face, he suddenly had an urge to burst out laughing.

Now that he had laid his cards on the table, there was no need for him to hide anything anymore. Xu Damao burst into laughter, as if he had never encountered anything so funny in all these years. He laughed so hard that he jerked the steering wheel and jumped up and down in his seat, acting somewhat manic!

Qin Huairu was taken aback by his actions and didn't know what to do, but she remained kneeling on the ground. Her mind was in turmoil!

After laughing enough, Xu Damao slowly straightened up, regaining his calm and composed expression, but with a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth, and turned to speak slowly.

"Qin Huairu, do you know? In this life, if you were to recall the person who left the deepest impression on you, that person would definitely not be the one you loved the most. That person would definitely be the one you hated the most, because only hatred can be remembered for a lifetime. As for loving someone, it's easy to forget!"

Xu Damao continued speaking, as if he were talking to himself.

"Let me tell you a story. Once upon a time, a man was falsely accused and sent to hell. He was tortured and suffered every day. He was beaten, forced to eat excrement, and even had to wash his own bottom every day just to survive. He thought he would never make it through. But one day, a senior told him, 'Do you have someone you particularly hate? If you do, think about her all the time, imagine your enemy looking at you. Imagine her enjoying a wonderful life outside, while you are suffering in hell every day. Only in that way can you persevere until the day you finally walk out of hell. Then drag your enemy back into hell so she can never get out!'"

Xu Damao's voice grew calmer and calmer as he spoke, until finally a wicked smile appeared on his lips.

Xu Damao's smile, however, made Qin Huairu, who was standing by the car window, feel as if she had entered an ice cave. Her face suddenly lost all color, and she was so frightened that she held back her tears. She stared blankly at the somewhat terrifying man in front of her.

Seeing Qin Huairu's expression, Xu Damao's smile widened, and he continued.

"Qin Huairu, that man is me. I am the man who came out of hell. Actually, the way we used to take revenge is too old-fashioned. Besides, we are now a society governed by law. It is easy for people to find loopholes in our framing. If you're going to play games, play big. It's too low-level to ruin your own reputation to take revenge on your enemies. If you're going to play games, play something more sophisticated!"

Xu Damao's words pierced Qin Huairu's heart like needles, making it increasingly difficult for her to breathe. Looking at the devil in front of her, she suddenly felt a desperate urge to perish together with him.

Perhaps noticing the unusual expression on Qin Huairu's face, Xu Damao's smile gradually faded. He raised his hand to look at his watch and said seriously.

"Qin Huairu, here's a hint: Banggeng is doomed in about five hours. A group of people will be checking into Health Treasure Company as early as 3 PM. By then, your precious son will probably be in grave danger. Whether Banggeng can escape in these five hours depends on your abilities, hahaha. Don't think I'm being too kind. Actually, I'm also very interested to see if Banggeng will listen to his good mother or refuse to let you in, hahaha. I'm really looking forward to this show!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Huairu's sudden surge of determination crumbled instantly. She barely had any other thoughts. She stumbled to her feet and ran towards the Health Treasure Company, still clutching the already somewhat cold jianbing guozi in her hand, completely unaware of what was happening!

Xu Damao coldly watched Qin Huairu walk away, a cold smile appearing on his face. What he just said was indeed true; something would definitely happen to Health Treasure Group as early as this afternoon, and Health Treasure headquarters personnel would arrive in Yanjing this afternoon.

Because he had already withdrawn all the funds from the company's accounts, leaving not a single penny, and his flight was at 12:30, he had been preparing for this day for almost a month. In his briefcase was a complete set of documents, including Qin Jingru and Xu Xiaonuan's travel documents. Two hours later, he would leave this country forever.

In fact, he had already laundered his money over the past six months. Once he goes abroad, his whole family will live under a different identity. The money he earned in the past six months is enough for his family to live a carefree life for two lifetimes.

To set up this scheme, Xu Damao gave up everything. It was all half true and half false. He did save a wealthy Japanese businessman, but the businessman was not a decent person. However, it was not that he asked the businessman for a job, but that the businessman thought he was a talented person with great potential in that area, so he took him on as a disciple.

Xu Damao was indeed very talented. With the willpower he had cultivated, he quickly adapted to the rules and soon began to stand out. In addition, since the other party really wanted to enter China, Xu Damao volunteered to be the vanguard.

Without a doubt, Xu Damao performed exceptionally well, even to an excessive degree. He completed the task that headquarters had given him three years to finish in just six months. However, headquarters also noticed that something was amiss with Xu Damao, as he seemed to be rushing things, which was already affecting headquarters' overall strategy for China.

The headquarters of Health Treasure hopes to establish a long-term presence in China, using the sale of health products as a cover to gradually bring the wealthiest people in China into the Health Treasure family, and then slowly assimilate them, transforming Health Treasure into a health brand recognized by China's rich.

The secret warfare of the new era doesn't require real swords and guns; it only requires gradually assimilating the minds of the country's rich.

Xu Damao is indeed very talented, and perhaps he understands his own people better than the real Japanese, and knows better how to use money.

Healthbao Group is very optimistic about the future development of China. They believe that by relying on the wealthy, Healthbao Group may be able to reach new heights.

Of course, they had almost a full staff around Xu Damao, including the leader, Dong Linsang. But the Health Code headquarters did not expect that Xu Damao was even more outstanding and decisive than they had imagined.

They never expected that Xu Damao, upon entering China, would be like a dragon entering the sea, quickly stirring up a tremendous wave!

Chapter 126: Bang Geng, something happened to your grandma.

In fact, the original Health Code agency system was far from the current nested, five-tier promotion system. Health Code headquarters only designed a three-tier agency system.

They initially envisioned a customer base consisting only of the wealthy. According to the headquarters of Health Treasure, it would take at least until the 1990s for Health Treasure to truly establish a foundation in China and enter a period of explosive growth, since the current base of wealthy people in China is still too weak!

Xu Damao redesigned an even more extravagant and inhumane nested system, including the rights and benefits of the four-level agents.

After Xu Damao brought the Health Treasure team into China, he relied on money to pave the way and his redesigned agency nested rules to become virtually unstoppable.

He conquered cities and territories without any suspense, and was invincible. As a Chinese, he understood Chinese people better than the Japanese, and he understood what certain managers of this era needed.

At the beginning, the development of Health Treasure really surprised the headquarters, and even allowed Xu Damao to control everything. Seeing the group's business growing at several hundred percent every month was very encouraging!

However, as Xu Damao's power grew, headquarters found that he was gradually losing control. First, the finances became somewhat opaque, and the profits that were originally expected to be handed over to headquarters were evaded by Xu Damao with various excuses.

Xu Damao also gradually replaced the senior management of various departments, and eventually even directly appointed a secretary with only a junior high school education to take over his position.

In short, a series of actions have caused headquarters to completely lose faith in Xu Damao. Fortunately, information was scarce in this era, and Xu Damao's associates deliberately covered up the truth, so it has been delayed until now before headquarters decided to take action against Xu Damao.

Unfortunately, Xu Damao is no longer the little projectionist he once was. From the very beginning, he never intended to continue playing this game. Even the legal representative of Huaxia Health Treasure is no longer his own name.

Within a month, he transferred almost all rights and responsibilities to Bang Geng. Legally speaking, Xu Damao no longer bears much responsibility.

However, he transferred company assets, and based on that alone, the Health Code headquarters would not let him off the hook. But he didn't plan to continue using the identity of Xu Damao; he had already made arrangements.

As I said before, money can really get you a lot of things done, including issues like identity.

Qin Huairu's sudden appearance did disrupt some of his plans, but it didn't matter. No matter how scheming Qin Huairu was, she was just an ordinary old woman who couldn't cause much trouble. On the contrary, the thought of letting her know some of the truth and then being powerless to do anything about it was exciting for Xu Damao!

He desperately wanted to see Bang Geng taken away, but what would Qin Huairu's reaction be upon finally hearing the news of her son's execution?

Just thinking about it makes me a little excited. And what about those old geezers in that compound? In the end, every family is bankrupt, only to find that they have nothing to show for it. Won't that make some of those old geezers furious?

Just thinking about it makes me excited. The only regret is that my old nemesis, He Yuzhu, didn't take the bait.

However, Xu Damao now harbors far less hatred for He Yuzhu than for Qin Huairu. Losing his family wouldn't make a difference, and he really wanted to stay and witness the tragic end of this group of people.

Unfortunately, a wonderful life awaits me. I can take revenge and make money at the same time. A new life and a bright future are about to begin!

He could already see Qin Jingru and her daughter walking out of the school gate from afar.

Upon seeing his wife and daughter, all the excitement and madness on Xu Damao's face vanished, and he returned to his calm demeanor. Once abroad, he would strive to provide his daughter with a better life, and perhaps in a few years, he might be able to return to this country as an honored guest.

Thinking of this, he suddenly thought of Lou Xiao'e, and then of that silly little Zhu He Xiao. Xu Damao secretly vowed that there would be a chance in the future!

Qin Huairu stumbled and ran to the building downstairs of Health Treasure Company, but her current appearance was obviously a bit frightening. The security guards had already noticed her and stopped her directly.

Qin Huairu acted as if she had gone mad, hurriedly trying to break free from the security guard's grasp while screaming in alarm.

"I want to see Bang Geng! I want to see Jia Geng! I'm his mother! Quick, let me see him!"

The two security guards chuckled and ignored the crazy woman holding a jianbing guozi (Chinese crepe).

Qin Huairu had long lost her former cunning. In fact, given her current disheveled and messy appearance, with a half-eaten jianbing guozi in her hand, it was normal for people to think she was a crazy woman.

Pushed and shoved by security guards, she stumbled and fell to the ground, dropping the jianbing guozi in her hand. This finally brought Qin Huairu to her senses.

She stared at the jianbing guozi on the ground, stood there for a while, took several deep breaths, and thoroughly sorted out her thoughts before standing up, tidying her messy hair, and walking back towards the door.

Two security guards remained blocking the entrance, Qin Huairu said coldly.

"Go and have your secretary go to the sixth floor and inform President Jia that his grandmother has had an accident and that he should come down immediately!"

The two security guards exchanged a glance, somewhat at a loss.

Qin Huairu glared at her and scolded.

"Such a big matter, how could I dare to speak carelessly? Quickly send someone to inform them!"

The security guards were also stunned. If this person really was Mr. Jia's mother, it would be difficult to explain. So one of them nodded and ran towards the reception area.

Qin Huairu stood at the gate, ignoring the security guard standing opposite her, her mind racing as she considered a solution.

She wasn't very educated and didn't quite understand how Xu Damao had managed to mess with Bang Geng, but she was certain of one thing: Xu Damao would definitely go all out against Bang Geng and show no mercy!

Qin Huairu had no better solution than to trick Bang Geng into going home first and then confess everything to him. She could only let Bang Geng hide somewhere else for the time being.

Her face was ashen, her mind racing. One moment she was thinking about how to solve the problem of the stick, the next she was thinking about Xu Damao's sinister face. Suddenly, Qin Huairu thought of a possibility: could Xu Damao's sudden visit to school today be to pick up Xu Xiaonuan, so the whole family could run away together?

The more Qin Huairu thought about it, the more likely it seemed, but what could she do now?

As an ordinary citizen, who would believe me?

Qin Huairu felt that even breathing was difficult at this moment. Just as she was thinking, someone rushed out of the hotel. Qin Huairu looked up and saw that it was Bang Geng.

Banggeng strode towards her, and when he reached her side, he asked somewhat anxiously.

"Mom, what happened to Grandma?"

Qin Huairu lowered her head, took a deep breath, tried to remain calm, and said urgently.

"Let's go back first! Hurry up!"

Although Banggeng had some doubts, seeing his mother's anxious expression, he didn't think much of it, nodded, and took out his car keys as he spoke.

"Come on, I'll drive!"

Bang Geng rushed out of the hotel to get his car, and Qin Huairu followed him out with a sullen face.

Along the way, Banggeng frantically accelerated, asking Qin Huairu what was wrong with her grandmother, but Qin Huairu remained silent with a sullen face.

Seeing this, Banggeng became even more anxious. Fortunately, there were very few cars on the road these days, and since it was almost noon, there were hardly any people around. The journey that usually took half an hour took only ten minutes today.

The car stopped at the gate of the compound. Bang Geng hurriedly got out of the car, and Qin Huairu followed him out. Without waiting for Qin Huairu, Bang Geng rushed into the compound and headed towards the central courtyard.

Qin Huairu hurriedly jogged to catch up. The Third Uncle's family was just about to have lunch when they suddenly saw Banggeng's figure at the door and exclaimed in surprise.

"What happened to Qin Huairu's family? Why is Banggeng in such a hurry?"
