Rich in the 70s: I Made a Rugged Veteran a Millionaire novel Chapter 322

Chapter 322: Chapter 322: Defeat

Director Wang was deeply troubled, his mind unable to focus, mechanically heading for home.

As he reached the gate of his courtyard, he heard his mother’s hearty laughter from inside before he even went in.

Was there a guest at home?

Who could be so skilled to make his mother laugh?

His mother was known for being strict and seldom smiled.

With this question in mind, Director Wang walked into the courtyard, pushed the door open, set his briefcase down, and looked at the figure on the sofa.

"We have a guest at home."

As soon as Director Wang spoke, the guest turned their head.

"Hello, Director Wang."

Director Wang’s pupils constricted, and every movement, even his breathing, froze at that moment.

"Jiang—Jiang Cheng!"

"It’s me. Director Wang seems surprised to see me."

Jiang Cheng calmly asked, as Director Wang instinctively glanced at his family, but everyone looked normal, as if they knew nothing.

His heart was pounding, trying hard to keep his voice steady: "Indeed, a bit unexpected."

"Please sit down."

Jiang Cheng smiled slightly and said: "I’m here at Teacher Lü’s request to visit Lao Zhang. Sorry for the intrusion, I hope you don’t mind."

Lao Zhang, who was Director Wang’s mother, spoke: "Not at all, I’m so happy you’re here."

"Is Xiao Lu well? Still at Jing University?"

"Thanks to you, Teacher Lü is doing well at Jing University."

The Jiang Cheng before him was the most obedient and outstanding youngster, chatting away with Mrs. Zhang, quoting classics and discussing various topics.

Since Jiang Cheng was here, Mrs. Zhang insisted on keeping her for a meal, but Jiang Cheng politely declined, saying she had other matters at home.

In the end, Director Wang personally saw her out, and the two walked out of the courtyard.

"What do you want?"

Jiang Cheng turned around, looking calmly at Director Wang and said: "Shouldn’t I ask what you want?"

"Do you want to see your life’s work fall into foreign hands, watching foreigners harm our Hua Xia people, ashamed before your ancestors, or will you change your ways?"

Director Wang had long regretted it.

"I really thought he was here to invest, I didn’t think...."

"You thought about it! About stepping on the S City food factory, but you didn’t expect Chase’s methods to be so despicable."

"Or perhaps you thought he might be despicable, but didn’t consider the specific consequences?"

"Director Wang, my standing here today means Chase’s plans will not succeed." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

"As for your choice, that’s up to you."

Director Wang looked at the confident Jiang Cheng in front of him, giving a bitter smile: "Do I still have a choice."

"Yes.... at least you can let your mother hold her head high."

Jiang Cheng nodded slightly to Director Wang after she spoke, then left.

Director Wang returned home, dejected, and could not help but fall to his knees after a mere glance at his mother.

"Mother—I’ve been confused and did something wrong."

Mrs. Zhang, seated in her wheelchair, held Director Wang’s head.

"If it’s wrong... we’ll change it, mother will help you change it."

Director Wang burst into tears.

The day after Jiang Cheng left Director Wang’s house, the S City food factory, under the full recording of newspaper reporters, caught someone preparing to poison on the spot.

The entire poisoning process was recorded on the camera, and the evidence was undeniable. The poisoner confessed to the location of Chase’s assistant before being taken away.

With the cooperation of the police, Chase’s assistant was arrested according to the law, and since it involved foreigners, diplomatic personnel also got involved.

At the same time, Director Wang from G Province turned himself in.

Director Wang surrendered along with several kidnappers.
