After the plan to reconcile with Jiang Chen using his daughter failed, Lin Shihui realized he was in a desperate situation. He transferred some of his assets to his daughter's name and rented an old house, hoping to avoid Jiang Chen and the company employees, escaping all debts and troubles.
"Uncle Hui, why are you here drinking alone?" For the past few days, Lin Shihui had been drowning his sorrows in alcohol in his room.
"Jiang Chen, how did you find me here?" Lin Shihui was startled.
"Did you think this place was a paradise? You thought hiding here would keep others from finding you?" Jiang Chen said with a sarcastic look.
"I'm not hiding; I just ran out of money and had to live somewhere cheaper. What do you want?" Lin Shihui suppressed his panic.
"Heh, what do you think I'm doing? I heard Uncle Hui's company has closed down. I was worried you might do something foolish, so I came to help you unwind!" Jiang Chen said this matter-of-factly.
"Since you're here, let's have a drink together!" Lin Shihui thought it was useless to be afraid and hoped to distract him.
"I didn't expect Uncle Hui to still be living so comfortably, with alcohol to drink! But some people don't even have food to eat!" Jiang Chen pulled Lin Shihui to the window. "Take a good look downstairs!"
Lin Shihui's rented room was on the eighth floor, the top floor of the building. Due to the saying "seven up, eight down," this floor had the cheapest rent.
He leaned out and was shocked again; a crowd of people had gathered below, all employees of Taiping Apparel Company.
"Lin Shihui, I want my salary! Don't try to fool us with clothes!"
"Lin Shihui, what about the treatment you promised me?" The person shouting was naturally one of the executives he had deceived.
Lin Shihui quickly pulled his head back in fear.
"Uncle Hui! I only gave them ten minutes; they'll rush up here soon!" Jiang Chen spoke slowly and calmly.
"Jiang Chen, did you bring them here? What do you want?" Lin Shihui gritted his teeth in anger.
"To collect debts? They’re collecting their debts; I'm collecting mine!"
"I don't owe you anything!"
"My father's blood debt! You caused my father's death, didn't you?" Jiang Chen's eyes were bloodshot at this moment.
"Yes. Your father was killed by me." Lin Shihui knew he could not deny it any longer.
"Good, as long as you admit it. Uncle Hui, since you're being so honest, why don't you tell me how it happened?"
"The process is simple. During our drinking sessions, I slipped drugs into his drink. This drug can cause an acute heart attack under the influence of alcohol, and doctors can't detect it. The symptoms are identical to those of a heart attack. So using this drug to kill someone won't raise any suspicion."
"Why did you do that? My dad has always considered you a friend!" Jiang Chen shouted.
"Everything is for profit! I harmed your dad, and now I'm forcing you to hand over your shares so I can take full control of Dongsheng Company! I didn't expect Old Qin to transfer Jiahua Clothing Company to you! I didn't get what I wanted. Instead, I've lost everything I had."
"Hmph! That's harming both yourself and others, isn't it? So, are you going to turn yourself in, or should I have your employees come and drag you out?"
Lin Shihui shook his head. "Jiang Chen! I know you won't let me go. I've already made plans to join your dad. Just please spare my family Jingzhu!"
"As long as she doesn't come to bother me again, I won't make things difficult for her!"
"Then I can rest easy!" Lin Shihui said as he opened the door.
"Trying to run?"
"Can I escape?" Lin Shihui climbed to the rooftop and jumped down...
The next day, a small news item appeared in major newspapers in Nangang: After the bankruptcy of Taiping Apparel Company, one of its former major shareholders, Lin Shihui, was pressured by employees for unpaid wages and ultimately jumped to his death!
...
Jiang Guangming saw the news and decided that the best strategy was to retreat.
Like Lin Shihui, he rented an old house outside, but Jiang Guangming did not transfer his assets to his son Jiang Liang because he had not yet fallen into despair; he still had places to go.
However, Jiang Liang was still in the hospital. What should he do? He needed to get him out early and leave together!
He disguised himself and hurried to Nangang Hospital. From a distance, he saw a large crowd at the hospital; upon closer inspection, they were all employees of Taiping Apparel.
Jiang Guangming quickly hid in the distance and dared not enter the hospital.
Meanwhile, Jiang Chen did not come this time; he didn't want to visit a place like the hospital since Jiang Liang had become incapacitated. There was no need for him to take further action against him.
The employees of Taiping Apparel couldn't find Jiang Guangming; coming to the hospital would force him out.
Jiang Chen wasn't unable to find Jiang Guangming; he just wanted to wait until Jiang Liang was discharged before taking action. Moreover, Lin Shihui hadn't said that he had killed his father alongside Jiang Guangming, so the punishment for Jiang Guangming wouldn't be as severe as it was for Lin Shihui.
Lin Shihui was directly responsible for his father's death, so he had to die. Since he committed suicide, that was even better.
Jiang Guangming was different; there was no need to kill him. Besides, if he did kill him, it would be hard to explain to his grandfather. After all, Jiang Guangming was his grandfather's illegitimate son, which was also why Jiang Chen had some reservations.
At this moment, Jiang Liang was already able to get out of bed and was preparing to be discharged today. Hearing noise outside, he went into the corridor to look down.
At a glance, it was shocking; the place was filled with people from Taiping Apparel. They had already sent three groups up: one group took the elevator, while the other two groups used the stairs on either side, with most still remaining on the first floor.
Clearly, these people were coming for Jiang Liang. Sure enough, two groups appeared at both ends of the corridor. Upon seeing Jiang Liang, they shouted, "Jiang Liang, bring the money!" "Jiang Liang, call your dad!" They yelled as they rushed toward Jiang Liang.
Jiang Liang quickly hid in the hospital room and shut the door. "Bang bang bang!" The people reached the door and pounded on it forcefully. "Open the door, Jiang Liang; you can't escape!"
What to do? Jiang Liang paced anxiously inside. He opened the back window and looked down. There was no one around, and with the hospital wall nearby, he could jump over to the bustling city area. Without thinking too much, Jiang Liang jumped down.
"Ah? That guy jumped off!" Someone saw him through the front window.
Wait? This was the sixth floor! A group hurried downstairs. When they reached the back of the inpatient building, they found Jiang Liang had died instantly from a severe head injury.
The next day, major newspapers in Nangang reported on the suicide! Panic spread among the employees of Taiping Apparel Company. To calm their emotions, Jiang Chen stepped in to cover salaries.
Jiahua Clothing Company acquired Taiping Apparel Company. With no company left and his son gone, Jiang Guangming no longer felt attached to Nangang and decided to leave.
At the ticket window of Nangang bus station, Jiang Guangming was preparing to buy a ticket when a voice rang out. "Mr. Jiang, are you planning to leave Nangang?"
Jiang Guangming turned around and realized it was bad news; he couldn't leave! The person was Rong, one of the bodyguards from the Wan family!
