Chapter 1649: Chapter 1326: The Tower Collapsing (Part 2)

Because of the stock crash, Song Zhongming was unable to recover and wanted to seek help from Song Yansheng, but Song Yansheng avoided seeing him.

He went to TK Group to look for him personally, but didn’t see Song Yansheng, let alone Qiao Yichi or Chi Rui.

He tried to find Yu Dou, after all Yu Dou was his son-in-law, but to his surprise, even his son-in-law avoided seeing him.

He had someone send a message to Yu Dou, stating that the Lishui Project had not been completed yet, and if the Song Family were to collapse now, it would not benefit the Shi Family.

However, he still did not receive any response from Yu Dou.

Soon, there was news that the Lishui Project was a government image project, and the Song Family had repeatedly caused scandals due to Song Zhongming, which had drawn criticism from the government project team.

It’s said there was already a meeting to revoke the Song Family’s agency rights.

Further rumors emerged that if the Song Family were ousted, the ones taking over their shares might be choosing between TK Group and the Yao Family.

Song Zhongming was at his wit’s end, with all his careful planning collapsing.

Especially since he hadn’t anticipated that Yu Dou would turn his back on him at such a crucial time.

He had even offered his precious daughter as part of the bargain, yet Yu Dou, that kid, dared to betray him!

He immediately contacted Song Qingyang, telling her to divorce Yu Dou.

Song Qingyang had been thinking about divorcing Yu Dou ever since they got married.

Now, she finally had the chance to divorce, yet she hesitated at this moment.

Moreover, now Yu Dou wasn’t coming home at all, and she couldn’t reach him either, so how could they possibly get a divorce?

As he watched the Song Group teetering on the brink of collapse, in utter chaos, Song Zhongming thought back to the Xu Family years ago.

Back when the Xu Family suddenly disappeared, he had felt a sense of sorrow, marveling at how quickly such a large enterprise could be brought to ruin.

That leader must have been incredibly incompetent.

But facing the current predicament himself, he realized that if a storm is truly approaching, no one can stop it!

He even thought that the Song Family’s demise might be even swifter than the Xu Family’s back then.

...

Amidst the chaos in the whole of T City, after contemplating at home for several days, Ji Yunjin finally decided to visit the police station.

To see the person Song Yansheng had mentioned she wanted to see.

It was an afternoon, the weather outside was quite nice, but the wind was rather chilly on the skin.

As she got off the vehicle, she happened to see a man in a black trench coat walking past her.

She turned her gaze to the man’s figure, and memories flashed in her mind of the first time she met that man many years ago.

Though it wasn’t winter at that time, it was already late autumn and the weather was very cold.

That day, she had originally planned to meet Yu Yao at the old cinema to watch a movie, but Yu Yao had something come up and said she’d be a bit late.

So she stood at the cinema entrance waiting for Yu Yao and that’s when she saw a man in a black trench coat approaching.

The man looked at her, frowning, but didn’t say anything.

He just went to the other side of the cinema entrance, lit a cigarette, and smoked.

The man was very handsome, at least he was in her eyes, and he looked dashing even while smoking.

The two of them stood there, one on this side of the door, the other on the opposite side, watching the people coming and going.

At that moment, she thought he must have also arranged to meet someone for a movie.

Yet until the movie was about to start, Yu Yao hadn’t arrived, but she wasn’t very disappointed.

Because she noticed that the person the man across was waiting for hadn’t come either.

She initiated a conversation with the man and asked, "Are you waiting for someone?"

The man glanced at her, responding with a slight, indifferent "Hmm".

She smiled and said, "I’m waiting for someone too, but I guess the person I’m waiting for won’t come. Oh well, people in love always put romance before friends!"

"In love?" The man furrowed his brows and asked, "Who do you say is in love?"

She blinked and said, "My friend, of course, a female friend. We had planned to watch a movie today, but as you can see, she didn’t come... Oh, has the person you’re waiting for not come either? How about we watch it together?"

The man narrowed his eyes at her, then after a moment, nodded, "Sure!"

She broke into a pleased smile and said, "Then let’s go inside quickly, the movie is about to start..."

As she was about to head inside, the man suddenly stopped her, saying, "Wait..."

She paused, turned back, and looked at him in confusion, "What is it? Is something wrong?"

The man’s thin lips moved slightly, then he said, "It’s like this, I... I don’t have a movie ticket!"

She blinked in disbelief and said, "Aren’t you here to watch a movie? How come you don’t have a ticket?"
