During breakfast, Shi Nuan finally saw Song Yansheng. Song Yansheng's face didn't look good, suggesting something must have happened.
Shi Nuan wanted to ask, but didn't dare; however, it was clear that Song Yansheng was forcing a smile in front of her, unwilling to bring bad emotions to her.
It was later that Shi Nuan learned that Wang Zhu had become unreachable.
From noon yesterday until now, attempts to contact him had all failed.
When they went to his house, they found it empty, with no sign of his wife and children.
In other words, Wang Zhu had run away.
The reason is obvious—Wang Zhu must have been bribed by Song Zhongming.
Fearing to offend Song Yansheng as well, he fled overnight with the money.
After all, Wang Zhu was once a businessman and knew that fighting now wouldn't bring back his cotton mill.
Rather than that, it was better to take the money and leave; at least he could rely on it for the rest of his life.
