Chapter 204 The So-Called Truth
Yang Junming stood rooted to the spot in embarrassment. He had been talking for so long, but he was the only one doing the talking. Hadn’t he been singing solo for half a day? He was like a clown!
But because the other party was better than him, he did not dare to say anything. He could only move his thick lips and say, “Then, then why did you call me here? I was confused by
you.”
“Do you remember what happened at the Gold Mountain oil field two years ago?”
Lu Ming asked expressionlessly, “Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten. I have thousands of ways to make you remember. I don’t think you will be willing to do this, right?”
Two years ago!
Yang Junming looked at the person in front of him in surprise and uncertainty. How did the big shot know about this? Could it be that he had found out some information? That couldn’t be, right? No matter how detailed it was, this matter had been specially covered up. There were only a handful of people who knew about it, so he planned to play dumb until the end. In any case, the other party did not know if what he said was true or false. He smiled awkwardly and said, “Why are you suddenly talking about this? Of course I remember what happened two years ago. Wasn’t it just selling an oil field? Where did you hear about such a small matter?”
“Did the so-called small matter cost a few lives?”
Lu Ming sneered. “If this is a small matter, then there’s nothing big in this world.”
Yang Junming instantly felt his blood flow backward. He asked with difficulty, “H-how did you know? Isn’t this something only internal employees know? Who are you?!”
Before the other party could answer, he seemed to have thought of something and his eyes widened suddenly. “You’re that woman’s son back then! Right?”
At that time, Lu Ming would occasionally go to the oil field to deliver food, so he had seen Yang Junming a few times. He noticed him because Lu Yaohua had specially instructed him to cause trouble for Zhang Wenfang from time to time. In addition, Third Miss Tang had said the same thing. Therefore, when Zhang Wenfang was in the oil field back then, she was always troubled. However, because only he would take her in, she had no choice but to stay.
Even her monthly salary was the lowest among her peers, but she did the most work. Who wouldn’t want cheap labor?
If not for what the higher-up instructed later, he would not have abandoned this pawn so easily.

But he could not have imagined that the person he was fawning over day and night was actually the son of that impoverished woman back then! He wondered if he was dreaming or if this world was a fantasy. The child he thought would never do well in his life had become a big shot?!
Seeing that he finally remembered, Lu Ming’s eyes were cold. “Tell me, what exactly happened back then? Why did you lay off employees for no reason? Did the Tang family ask you to do this? Or were you bribed?”
At first, Yang Junming wanted to laugh it off. After all, not everyone could afford to offend the Tang family. However, after hearing the second half of the sentence, he felt that if he did not tell the truth, he might not be able to get out of here today!
“You came to me for revenge?” “Did you think I’m treating you to tea? Are you worthy? Tell me quickly. I don’t want to be rough now. Besides, you’ve already cut ties with the Tang family. What’s there to protect them from? Anyway, whether you tell me or not, I won’t let go of anyone who killed my mom!”
Lu Ming raised his eyebrows slightly. He looked like he was enjoying a good show.
“This…”
Yang Junming gritted his teeth and said, “Two years ago, the Tang family took a fancy to my Gold Mountain oil field. At that time, it was a money tree. How could I sell it to them? Besides, as a big family in Beijing, we didn’t lack money, but we were unwilling to raise the price no matter what, so I rejected them. I didn’t expect them to actually bribe my assistant and chase away the oilfield workers!
This resulted in the workers with their families starving to death. I only found out after the matter blew up. But at that time, things were no longer under my control, so in the end, I had no choice but to accept the Tang family’s money and start a new industry. I’m sure of it! I’m telling the truth!”
Lu Ming looked at him thoughtfully and said, “In that case, you are also a victim?” “Yes, yes, yes! That’s what I mean! This has nothing to do with me!”
His words implied that he wanted the other party to take revenge on someone else.
However… Do you really think I’m a fool? Lu Ming thought.
Lu Ming curled the corners of his lips in mockery. “Did you miss something? You refused because the benefits offered by the Tang family were not enough to move you, but what if they satisfied you later? The Tang family chased away the workers, but my mom insisted on staying there. She even begged you. Were you blind or deaf?”
Those few days, his mother had many injuries on her body. He had asked her why, but she was willing to tell him everything. Coupled with the information he had just found, he knew without a doubt that the Tang family was behind this! The workers were unwilling to leave, so they chased them away personally. Were they teaching animals a lesson? he thought.
“Who, who asked your mom to be so stubborn? She refused to listen no matter what and insisted on staying there. The Tang family had always had strict recruitment requirements. In addition, Third Missy had a grudge against her. How could they let her stay?”
