Earning 100 million a day, yet trapped in a county town.

Chapter 96: The money arrived, and a video was filmed. The mother knew.

Chapter Ninety-Six: Money Arrives, Video Recording Begins. The Mother Knows.

"I heard you've become quite popular online lately."

Cheng Wanhua swallowed hard but didn't say anything.

Hun Sen continued, speaking slowly and deliberately.

"I also heard that you received a lawyer's letter."

Cheng Wanhua's hand trembled slightly.

Hun Sen looked at him and smiled.

"Boss Cheng, don't be nervous. I didn't call you here today to cause you trouble."

Cheng Wanhua raised his head and looked at him.

"Then—then why did you contact me?"

Hun Sen leaned back in his chair and crossed his legs.

"I'm here to show you the way."

Cheng Wanhua was taken aback: "What clear path?"

Hun Sen picked up his teacup and slowly took a sip.

"Mr. Wang asked me to pass on a message to you."

Cheng Wanhua's heart skipped a beat.

"He said that as long as you are willing to release a video to clarify that you were bribed by Wen Guoliang to smear him, he can let bygones be bygones for what happened before."

Cheng Wanhua opened his mouth, then closed it again.

Hun Sen continued, "Moreover, Mr. Wang said he's willing to give you two million."

Two million?!

Cheng Wanhua's voice rose eight octaves, then suddenly dropped back down, as if afraid of being overheard.

"Yes, two million." Hun Sen nodded. "You release a video to clarify, and the money will be in your account immediately. Take the money, don't cause any more trouble, and live a peaceful life. Isn't that better than what you're doing now, being used as a pawn by Wen Guoliang, and potentially going to jail at any time?"

Cheng Wanhua's mind began to race.

Two million.

If he had two million, he wouldn't have to stay in this dilapidated house anymore.

He could also take Xiaojun to another city, find a good school, and start over.

But the question is, if he turns against him, will Wen Guoliang let him off the hook?

Hun Sen noticed his hesitation.

He stood up, walked over to Cheng Wanhua, and patted him on the shoulder.

"Boss Cheng, you're a smart man. Think about it, what can Wen Guoliang give you? A little pocket money, a few empty checks. What about Boss Wang? Two million, real money, coming to your account immediately."

He paused, lowering his voice slightly.

"Besides, think about it, is Wen Guoliang someone you can trust?"

These words were like a needle, precisely piercing the softest spot in Cheng Wanhua's heart.

Yes, is Wen Guoliang a trustworthy person?

The person who framed him back then was Wen Guoliang.

The person now using him as a tool is also Wen Guoliang.

Once things have calmed down, will Wen Guoliang care whether he lives or dies?

will not.

Cheng Wanhua closed his eyes and thought for a long time.

Then he opened his eyes and looked at Hun Sen.

"I'll post a video. But I have one condition."

"you say."

"The money needs to be in your account first. Once it's there, I'll send it out immediately."

Hun Sen looked at him and smiled.

"make a deal."

Hun Sen took out his phone and dialed a number.

"Mr. Wang, Boss Cheng has agreed. Please arrange for the finance department to make the payment."

After hearing something said on the other end of the phone, Hun Sen nodded and hung up.

Less than a minute later, Cheng Wanhua's phone vibrated.

He looked down and saw a text message notification from the bank.

[China Construction Bank] RMB 100,000,000 has been deposited into your account 4444, leaving you with a usable balance of RMB 100,008,888.88.

Two million.

It really arrived!

Cheng Wanhua stared at the string of numbers, feeling a little excited.

Hun Sen looked at him and smiled.

"Boss Cheng, the money's here. Can we film the video now?"

Cheng Wanhua took a deep breath and nodded.

He took out his phone, turned on the camera, and pointed it at himself.

In the video, his eyes were red, his expression was sincere, and his tone carried a heartfelt "repentance".

Then he recited the lines that Hun Sen had prepared for him.

"My name is Cheng Wanhua. I would like to offer my sincere apologies to Mr. Wang Guanxi and to the Chongxi brand."

"The video I posted before was all made up. Wang Guanxi didn't steal my factory or force me to transfer ownership."

It was all my own choice. He helped me pay off two million yuan in high-interest loans, and I voluntarily transferred the factory to him. I released that defamatory video of Wang Guanxi in order to extort money from him.

He paused, his voice lowering slightly.

"I was bribed by Wen Guoliang, the boss of Meiwei Group. He gave me 50,000 yuan to make a video to smear Wang Guanxi. He said that as long as I ruined Wang Guanxi's reputation, Chongxi would be finished. I was just blinded by greed and took that 50,000 yuan, which is why I did such a wicked thing."

He bowed deeply to the camera.

"President Wang, I'm sorry. Everyone at Chongxi, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done such a heartless thing for money."

After saying this, Cheng Wanhua turned off his phone.

The room was silent for a second.

Hun Sen picked up his phone, checked the video, and nodded in satisfaction.

Then he stood up and patted Cheng Wanhua on the shoulder.

"Boss Cheng, the video is well made. I'll have someone release it right away."

Cheng Wanhua sat in the chair, looking as if all his energy had been drained.

He leaned back in his chair and let out a long sigh.

Although he released an apology video, he completely offended Wen Guoliang.

He could no longer stay in Jiangcheng.

But it doesn't matter, he has two million, he can start over anywhere.

Chongxi Factory, Chairman's Office.

Wang Guanxi was in his office, his face looking somewhat gloomy.

Cheng Wanhua is easy to deal with; you can kill him with any method you think of.

However, Cheng Wanhua also has his biological mother, Zhou Lijuan, by his side, which makes things a bit complicated.

He pondered for a moment, then stood up, pushed open the office door, and walked towards the quality inspection workshop.

In the quality inspection workshop, Zhou Lijuan was standing in front of the workbench, holding a freshly sewn garment in her hand, checking the loose threads on the cuffs over and over again.

She was wearing a quality inspector's uniform jacket, her hair was neatly styled with a hairnet, and her expression was focused and serious.

Wang Guanxi stood at the door, looked at her for a few seconds, and then called out.

"mom."

Zhou Lijuan looked up and saw her son standing at the door, her expression slightly surprised.

"Edison Chen? What are you doing here?"

"Come to my office, I have something to ask you."

Zhou Lijuan paused for a moment, put down the clothes in her hand, took off her gloves, and followed Wang Guanxi into the office.

After closing the office door, Wang Guanxi didn't beat around the bush.

"Mom, are you aware that Cheng Wanhua made a video to smear Chongxi?"

Zhou Lijuan's expression visibly stiffened for a moment. Her fingers unconsciously gripped the hem of her work jacket, and she lowered her head, not daring to look into her son's eyes.

"Know----"

"When did you find out?"

"That's what he told me the day he finished filming."

Zhou Lijuan's voice grew softer and softer, like that of a child who had done something wrong.

Wang Guanxi stared at her, his tone calm, but every word carried weight.

"So you knew, but didn't tell me?"
