BHBF Chapter 55.2

Boss, He’s Becoming a Father (Arc 2) Chapter 55.2: The Bitter Heroine (64)

Guan Yang was also very surprised when he saw Shao Yingniang, but he was not surprised after hearing the other party’s purpose.

 

“I just want to publish a news report about the weaving factory recently. Why don’t you come with me the day after tomorrow?” Guan Yang said.

 

The last time, Shao Yingniang asked him about the new loom. Now Shao Yingniang wanted to check it out in person. As a reporter, Guan Yang had this convenience. He also had a good impression of the Shao family, so naturally he wanted to help Shao Yingniang find a solution.

 

“Such a coincidence?” Shao Yingniang was a little surprised.

 

Guan Yang chuckled and said, “It’s no coincidence. This request was actually made by the weaving factory.”

 

Seeing that Shao Yingniang was puzzled, Guan Yang explained in a low voice: “After the last report, the weaving factory received a lot of orders, so this time, they want to promote it again.”

 

The weaving factory tasted the sweetness, so this time it took the initiative to offer bribes and begged the newspaper to help write a report.

 

Shao Yingniang then understood that although she had not yet officially established a factory, she had witnessed the twists and turns of businessmen through this method.

 

“These bosses are like wolves that smell blood. As long as there is a chance, they will immediately take action. Their sense of smell is really sensitive.” Guan Yang sighed.

 

When Shao Yingniang heard his comments, she suddenly became curious and asked, “From what you said, it seems that someone else has done something similar.”

 

Hearing this, Guan Yang looked around and whispered, “Do you know Third Master Bai?”

 

Shao Yingniang was stunned.

 

Guan Yang continued, “The western restaurant you are working at is his property.”

 

Shao Yingniang nodded.

 

Guan Yang continued, “Third Master Bai is a gangster, but he is actually a businessman. He started his business because of his keen sense of smell. When the war just started, he stored a batch of grain. It was with this batch of grain that he took advantage of the situation to take off.”

 

When a war breaks out, supplies will be in short supply. Other things can be tolerated, but food is the only thing that cannot be lacked. With limited funds on hand, Third Master Bai relied on this batch of food to earn his first pot of gold.

 

“However, although this man seems to have made a fortune from the country’s misfortune, he has done a lot of good deeds after becoming rich.” Guan Yang sighed.

 

Shao Yingniang couldn’t help asking a few more questions. Guan Yang seemed to know Third Master Bai very well and told her all the anecdotes about him.

 

When Shao Yingniang heard that Third Master Bai would throw anyone who annoyed him directly into the river, she couldn’t help but feel a chill down her spine.

 

“Now that you’ve resigned from the western restaurant, there’s nothing to be afraid of.” Guan Yang comforted.

 

Guan Yang didn’t know the inside story and thought Shao Yingniang had left her job peacefully.

 

But Shao Yingniang was a little scared at this time. Thinking about the previous time when she left the restaurant, it was not peaceful. She was afraid that Shao Yu would be hated by Third Master Bai.

 

When she returned home, she told Shao Yu about Third Master Bai’s affairs, but Shao Yu laughed and said, “It’s okay, I’m going to see him tomorrow.”

 

Shao Yingniang immediately grabbed his sleeve tightly and said, “Dad, let’s run away together as a family. I won’t run a factory anymore. The safety of our family is the most important.”

 

Shao Yu didn’t expect his daughter to be so depressed by rumors, and said, “A man like him won’t easily go back on his words once they’ve been spoken. Don’t worry, he was the one who let us go that day.”

 

Shao Yingniang was half-believing and half-doubting, and the fear in her heart had not yet been dispelled, but she suggested going with Shao Yu tomorrow.

 

Seeing that she was really worried, Shao Yu did not refuse.

 

Early the next morning, Shao Yu prepared a small wooden box and carried it in his hand, but Shao Yingniang secretly hid a knife on her body.

 

But before she left the house, Shao Yu said, “Don’t bring those things. It’s not necessary.”

 

“Dad, how did you know I brought something?” Shao Yingniang was shocked. She had clearly hidden it well and couldn’t understand how Shao Yu could see through it.

 

Shao Yu glanced at the fruit bowl on the dining table and said, “The fruit knife has always been placed in a fixed position. Everyone in the family is used to putting it back where they took it from.”

 

Shao Yu only took a casual glance and noticed that there was no fruit knife in the fruit bowl, so he immediately thought that it was Shao Yingniang who looked wrong.

 

Shao Yingniang was reluctant to take it out.

 

Shao Yu said: “Your habit of carrying some weapons with you is good, but it is not appropriate today.”

 

Shao Yingniang had no choice but to take out the knife reluctantly, and said, “Dad, if anything goes wrong today, you must run away early.”

 

Shao Yu nodded.

 

The father and daughter walked to the entrance of the alley, where a black car was already waiting for them.

 

Shao Yu got into the car with his daughter, the car started, and after driving around the city, they finally arrived at a quiet tea-house.

 

Shao Yu and his daughter were led upstairs by others.

 

There was clearly a play being performed in the building, but nothing could be heard outside.

 

Looking down from the second floor at this time, the actor on the stage was singing “Afraid and fearful, sighing in loneliness at the Lingding Ocean”.

 

Shao Yingniang didn’t hear clearly what the actor was singing, but she felt an inexplicable sense of sadness.

 

However, Shao Yu still had an inappropriate look on his face. He picked up the small wooden box in his hand and followed others into the largest compartment.
