"It's done!" Song Tianyao and Lou Fengyun, whom he had sent to the Economic Registrar General's Department, rushed back in the evening. They mentioned that they hadn't seen Tang Boqi at the Registrar General's Department all afternoon, but after seeing Tang Jingyuan there with a young woman and a lawyer to handle some procedures, he clapped his hands excitedly!
Lou Fengyun looked at Song Tianyao in confusion. "It was Tang Jingyuan went; Tang Boqi didn't go to the Registrar General's Department."
"Isn't that woman next to Tang Jingyuan the one with long, wavy hair, dressed fashionably, and carrying a black crocodile handbag?" Song Tianyao asked Lou Fengyun as he took a few steps in his office.
Lou Fengyun nodded.
"That's Tang Boqi's girlfriend. I always thought Tang Boqi would try to quickly settle the accounts and file for bankruptcy at the Registrar General's Department of Bankruptcy. But Tang Jingyuan showed up at the Registrar General's Department this afternoon, which means Tang Boqi is more ruthless than I thought. In order to get out of trouble as soon as possible, he used his cousin Tang Jingyuan as a scapegoat. I thought Tang Boqi would stay and hold on for a few more days. I didn't expect him to cut his losses so decisively. Was he afraid that he would feel guilty if he went with Tang Jingyuan, so he sent his girlfriend? Anyway, good riddance!" Song Tianyao let out a heavy sigh. After receiving this news, he seemed to have more youthful energy than usual, despite his old and gloomy appearance.
Lou Fengyun had no idea what Song Tianyao was thinking. They were supposed to go to the Stock Exchange, but after seeing Tang Boqi being taken away by a woman when they left the factory, Song Tianyao hurriedly returned to the factory and told her to drop her work and go to the Registrar General's Department to wait and see if Tang Boqi would appear. She waited in the corner of the Registrar General's Department's lobby until the public officials finished work before returning.
"Why are you so happy that Tang Boqi got away? You were planning to catch all the India and factory owners in one fell swoop, so why are you so happy that one of them escaped?" Lou Fengyun Headless herself, so she simply asked Song Tianyao directly.
Song Tianyao grinned and said to Lou Fengyun, "The Tang family father and son can't turn things around, and neither can the India. But those factories can't be closed. I need them to help me produce orders for United States. With the industry in chaos, those factory owners will be filled with resentment. And hatred is a strange psychological reaction. If Tang Boqi, the Tang family father and son, and the India are all left to be torn apart by the factory owners, even after they've been killed, the factory owners will still feel lost, then bewildered, and finally seek new enemies. So, a mastermind must leave unscathed for this whole scheme to be perfect. That mastermind must be someone they hate to the core, someone they'll never forget, someone they won't even think about what others have done. Who is this mastermind? If Tang Boqi is also trapped in this scheme, then it will be me. Of course, I won't..." The best candidate to put myself in such a passive position is Tang Boqi, who once held absolute power in the wig industry, aspiring to be its savior, but abandoned everyone and fled upon learning of the impending storm. If I were to eliminate him, even if everyone outwardly obeyed me, they would secretly believe it was all my doing, Song Tianyao's doing, and would slowly seek opportunities to sabotage me. But if Tang Boqi lives, it's different. If he leaves alive, all the turmoil in the industry will be attributed to him; he's the one who caused it all. My hands, Song Tianyao's, are clean. My next move is a good deed, ensuring the industry doesn't decline because of Tang Boqi's sabotage, allowing factory workers to continue working and earning money. I am the true savior of this industry."
As he spoke, he opened his arms to Lou Fengyun, beaming, "Now that he's escaped just as I wanted, what reason do I have not to be happy?"
Chapter 296 The Downpour Finally Arrives
The sky was somewhat overcast, and Song Tianyao even heard a few muffled claps of thunder echoing in the distance when he got up. Fu Xinniang brought in the prepared water for washing his face and, while tidying the bed, obediently said to Song Tianyao, who was having his face washed by Shu Yan, "Master Song just arrived, but he didn't ask us to wake you, Mr. Song. He's having breakfast outside with Brother Six and the others right now."
"My Dad?" Song Tianyao asked in confusion after Shu Yan helped him wipe the water off his face.
Since the wig factory opened, Song Chunliang has only visited a handful of times. As soon as he stepped out of the office, he saw Song Chunliang squatting under the eaves of the kitchen with Huang Liu and Ning Zikun. Each of them was holding a bowl of porridge and slurping it down while staring at the chessboard.
Thanks to the monthly income from British-German Western Pharmacy, the family now lives a comfortable life. Zhao Meizhen has not neglected her father. Song Chunliang has changed into a high-end suit and soft leather shoes, but the way he squats under the eaves holding a rice bowl is really out of place with his outfit.
"Dad, did you need something?" Song Tianyao walked over to Song Chunliang and asked.
Upon seeing his son, Song Chunliang hurriedly put down his rice bowl, stood up, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and his face was almost entirely filled with a smile as he grinned and sized up Song Tianyao.
Song Tianyao reached into his pocket for cigarettes but found nothing. Huang Liu didn't even glance at him, instead tossing his own cigarette pack to Song Tianyao. By the time the obedient Fu Xinniang ran from the office to fetch the cigarettes for Song Tianyao had already lit them for Song Chunliang himself, and the two of them had already smoked about a third of their cigarettes.
Fu Xinniang, who was always gentle and kind to everyone, held the unused cigarette and secretly glared at Huang Liu. Unexpectedly, Huang Liu, who was looking down at the chessboard, seemed to have eyes on the top of his head, looked up at her and made a face.
Startled by being caught in the act Fu Xinniang, still harboring a small grudge, hurried towards her residence. Only after standing beside Shu Yan Shi Yin confirming that Song Tianyao, Huang Liu, and the others wouldn't see or hear her words or actions did Fu Xinniang breathe a sigh of relief. She playfully made a face at Huang Liu and said to the two sisters Shu Yan Shi Yin, with a hint of annoyance, "Brother Six is the worst! Before, if Mr. Song forgot his cigarettes at the factory, he would wait for me to get them. Now, Brother Six is like a mind reader for Mr. Song. If Mr. Song doesn't find his cigarettes in his pocket, he just 'biu's' and tosses them over..."
