Chapter 56: Settling Accounts with Zhu Yongchang
The nanny brought the tools and Wang Zongchao held them tightly in his hands.
He looked for the location and asked uncertainly: "Master Shen, is this the place?"
Shen Sangning hummed: "Don't use too much force, pry it open slowly."
Meng Ling quickly squatted down and tapped the floor with her fingers.
"Honey, it's really empty down there!"
Wang Zongchao nodded, and carefully took the tool and knocked slowly.
Time passed minute by minute, and when the floor was completely dug open, a wooden box was revealed.
"Master, what should we do now? Take out the box?"
Shen Sangning smiled and said, "Take it out, slowly."
Wang Zongchao half-knelt on the ground, put his hands on both sides of the wooden box, and took the wooden box out with force.
The wooden box is about 40 centimeters high and has a lock on the top.
[Uh... Could this be someone's urn? Hidden under the bed? ]
[Urns are usually long and flat, there is no way this would be possible. And if it were really an urn, there would be no need to lock it with a padlock. ]
[Look at the surface of the wooden box. Do the runes look like chains? ]
[You know what, it really feels like a chain. Is there a ghost in here? ]
Meng Ling held her phone and looked at the comments, her eyelashes trembling slightly: "Master...what on earth is in here? Is it dangerous..."
"Don't worry, there's no danger." Shen Sangning continued, "Let's find a locksmith. I can't rashly help you open the lock. It will be bad for you."
Ten minutes later, a middle-aged man in work clothes came here.
He looked at the lock on the wooden box, then took out a tool and poked it gently.
In less than five seconds, the lock opened.
Wang Zongchao paid the money and waited for the locksmith to leave before he took the padlock off the wooden box.
He was a little nervous and held his breath unconsciously.
When he opened the wooden box completely, he was completely stunned!
"Damn you Zhu Yongchang! From now on, I will never be compatible with you!!!"
Meng Ling was so angry that she was shaking all over and started to curse: "Husband, that bastard must be severely punished! This is too vicious!!!"
"No wonder we haven't had any children for decades. It would be a miracle if we had any!"
[It is indeed a bit too vicious. They actually locked the Goddess of Fertility in a wooden box and placed it under someone's bed...]
[It's definitely not going to get any better if you put pressure on the Goddess of Childbirth every day! 】
[A big taboo in Feng Shui: putting a shrine under the bed! ]
"I know you're angry, but don't be angry yet." Shen Sangning said, "Take a dry towel and wipe the Goddess of Childbirth, put her on the cabinet, and light three more incense sticks."
"When I have time tomorrow, I'll buy a better altar and some offerings to put on it."
"Burn three sticks of incense every morning and evening, and you will be pregnant within two months."
Wang Zongchao nodded quickly: "Master, I remember everything! Thank you! Thank you, Master!"
Seeing that there was no problem, Shen Sangning hung up the call.
Wang Zongchao and Meng Ling sat on the sofa in the living room and became angrier the more they thought about it.
"Zhu Yongchang, that old bastard! How dare he harm my Wang family like this! Otherwise, our son would be in his twenties!"
"By the way, the master said that he has a daughter! I like daughters the most!"
"No, if I don't find him today, I won't be able to sleep at night!"
Meng Ling did not stop him. She looked at the valuable watch on her wrist and said, "Hubby, I'll go with you!"
The two looked at each other and quickly changed into sportswear.
Wang Zongchao drove to a hardware store where the lights were still on.
Inside the store, Zhu Yongchang was listening to a tune alone.
There were peanuts and a bottle of Red Star Erguotou on the small table in front of him.
Half a bottle of one pound of white wine has been drunk.
When Fang saw the two people coming in, Zhu Yongchang stood up with a smile on his face.
"Lao Wang, why are you two here so late at night? You didn't even say hello in advance. I'll make two dishes and we can have a drink!"
Wang Zongchao kicked the table over, pointed at Zhu Yongchang's nose and asked with gritted teeth: "You son of a bitch, did you put the Goddess of Fertility under our bed!!!"
Zhu Yongchang raised his head suddenly, his eyes dodging: "Lao Wang, what are you talking about? Why don't I understand..."
"How can you be so vicious!" Meng Ling's eyes were red, and she stepped forward and slapped the other person hard on the face.
Zhu Yongchang's face was uncertain: "What's wrong with you two? Did you eat gunpowder?"
"Pretend! Just go ahead and pretend." Wang Zongchao said bluntly: "We have already invited the Goddess of Childbirth to come out! There can't be anyone else except you!"
"Zhu Yongchang! Back then, when you were down and out and living on the streets, it was our Wang family who helped you open this hardware store!"
"There are renovation projects and some projects that our Wang family introduced to you!"
"How did our Wang family ever do you wrong? How could you harm us like this?"
Zhu Yong's eyes were dark and unclear. After a long silence, he said, "Back then, I invested all my wealth in that project and even borrowed tens of millions!"
"In the end? If your Wang family was willing to continue lending me money, my company wouldn't have gone bankrupt due to a lack of cash flow! I, Zhu Yongchang, wouldn't have fallen to this point today!"
"Shouldn't I hate your Wang family? Do you want me to be grateful to your Wang family?"
"I admit that you have indeed taken good care of me over the years. But it can never make up for the damage you have caused me!"
"Now you are standing in front of me hypocritically and giving me alms. If it weren't for your Wang family, I wouldn't have been able to gain a foothold in the capital!"
"Zhu Yongchang, you are confused..." Just then, another old man came in from outside the door.
The old man looked vigorous and was wearing a Chinese robe.
"I advised you back then that the project was a bottomless pit!"
"No matter what I say, you won't listen and insist on bidding. There are so many powerful and well-connected companies, why don't you think it's your turn to win the bid?"
"You begged me on your knees. Since we are from the same hometown, I lent you some money."
"I've calculated the bill for you later. If the other party doesn't pay, you'll need at least 200 million!"
"In that era, you also know what 200 million means. Who would dare to lend you money?"
"Even if I lend it to you, what will you use to pay me back?"
"I really didn't expect that I would make a mistake in borrowing money! It's just a small matter, are you going to harm the descendants of my Wang family like this?!!"
Zhu Yongchang said with a ferocious look: "Don't talk so nicely. If you had lent me 200 million yuan back then, just to help me get through that difficult time, would I be like this now?!!"
"You are just afraid that I am richer than you! Afraid that I will surpass you! Afraid that I will take away your Wang family's position in the capital!"
"You're really stubborn!" The old man raised his walking stick and smashed it hard against the shelf next to him.
"Dad..." Meng Ling quickly supported the old man: "Don't be excited, why did you come here so late!"
Seeing his daughter-in-law, Wang Fumin smiled with deep apology: "I'm sorry, Xiaoling, you have suffered so much over the years."
"After you told me what happened, I knew you would come. It's because of what I did back then that you were implicated, so naturally I have to ask for an explanation from you."
