I Am Born With A Silver Spoon novel Chapter 244

“What happened?”

Chen Hao was stunned.

“There was initially a construction scheduled to be carried out here. However, they have now found out that some of the materials used by the developers were problematic. This caused a massive collapse of the construction site ahead. Around 60 people were heavily injured, not to mention that over hundred were injured! Thank God no one passed away!”

“I also heard that the developer ran away yesterday night. Now, all the investors are in trouble. Along with the Jiangs, around ten people were suspended! They are still waiting to be dealt with as of now!” The construction workers continued saying.

Investors? I remember Uncle Jiang was one of the investors, was he suspended too?

Chen Hao asked again, “Wouldn’t that be unlikely for them to run away? Since no lives were harmed anyways, can’t they just compensate them? Moreover, the main responsibility doesn’t fall on the investors right?”

“Well, the developers had no budget left I guess. It was rumored that they had no money left around half a year ago. It wasn’t like we knew who to demand for our salary from anyways. About the investors, well, someone has to be the scapegoat right? Besides, right now is the best time for big enterprises to invest in and develop Ping An County. Now that something like this happened, the leader must be so pissed! This is going to influence us badly!”

Chen Hao finally understood what was going on.

However, it wasn’t like he had a say in it anyways.

After expressing his sympathies, Chen Hao took another route and bypassed them.

On the way, Chen Hao received WeChat messages from Li Zhenguo talking about the building that collapsed. What a coincidence!

Chen Hao took the chance to ask Li Zhenguo to find him a professional jade inspector.

After all, Li Zhenguo had better connections than he does.

Back at the hotel he rented, Chen Hao was preparing to leave for dinner after taking a bath.

Suddenly, he received a phone call from his father.

“Dad?” Chen Hao greeted.

“Hey son, I heard that something happened in our hometown that you’ve invested in. Did the building really collapse?”

“Well, yeah. However, my group wasn’t involved in it.”

Wow, news travels fast.

“I know it wasn’t your group’s fault. What I wanted to say was, your Uncle Jiang was suspended. Can you go over to check in with them and see if there’s any way for us to help them out?” Chen Hao's father pleaded.

“What? Didn’t I tell you, dad? Uncle Jiang has clearly moved on from his friendship with you. How could you still want me to help him?

Chen Hao was frustrated after hearing his father’s request.

Everytime his father contacted him, he would mention the Jiang family. Basically what he meant was for Chen Hao to help them out if they ever landed themselves into trouble.

If it wasn’t for him, why would he always help Jiang Ranran who always looked down on him every time she got herself into some kind of trouble.

He couldn’t have cared less if it weren’t for his father.

However, the last time Chen Hao went to the Jiang family’s house left Chen Hao utterly disappointed. He’d told his father about it too.

Hence Chen Hao did not care anymore although he knew that the Jiang family was in trouble.

After all, according to Uncle Jiang, Chen Hao shouldn't bother him if he doesn't have anything important.

So, Chen Hao decided to not bother.

“Sigh, well, there are some things that are hard to explain. By the way, have you seen your Aunty Tang?”

His father suddenly changed the topic.

Chen Hao frowned, “Yeah, I did! Why?”

“Cough, I have wronged Uncle Jiang in the past. That’s why I feel really guilty about it. So even though their family couldn’t care less about us, please try to help them out,” Chen Hao’s father said, sighing.

“Seriously!”

Chen Hao was so done.

Is it possible that father had something going on with Aunty Tang too?

Did she cheat on Uncle Jiang?

“Dad, what happened exactly? And who was the woman named Meng Xin that you pleaded with me to look for? Are both Aunty Tang and Meng Xin your—”

Chen Hao was mind blown.
