She was fired after she refused to be the CEO's dog licker.

"Why? This is a rare opportunity that comes once in a lifetime." After hearing what I said, my uncle was stunned.

Because of excitement, his face flushed slightly, and he explained anxiously: "Xu Xu, are you, are you worried about Ah Sheng? Ah Sheng, he is a good person, no, he will not lie to me."

My uncle is a simple and honest man. In the world of honest people, everyone else is a good and honest person like him.

But the easiest people to deceive are often honest people, and it is this trust that is exploited.

It’s not that I disagree with my uncle’s judgment, I just think we should always be on guard against others.

Maybe Ah Sheng is really a simple and honest young man as his uncle said, maybe Ah Sheng is really a grateful person who is willing to repay his uncle with a hundred times the kindness, maybe he really just happened to have a connection and sincerely wants to help his uncle make money.

But I still think that as long as we don't covet these little rewards and benefits, we will not be easily deceived.

I shook my head firmly: "No matter if he will cheat us or not, we won't make this money. Uncle, just listen to me and withdraw from his project. Anyway, you have already made tens of thousands of dollars, which is enough. Let's stop in time."

"But, but I still want to..." My uncle looked at me, and I knew clearly what he meant in his eyes.

He felt sorry for me and wanted to help me share the burden.

But I don't need it.

I don't need my uncle to make a lot of money to help me in this way. We are not short of money, and I am confident that I can get more money soon.

"Uncle Jiao, just listen to Xuxu and stop in time. As for making money, don't worry. Besides Xuxu, you also have me." You He interrupted his uncle softly and said seriously.

My aunt had been listening to us talking. She was originally hesitant, but when she heard this, she spoke up: "Just listen to what you say, Lao Jiao. We've gotten enough. Let's stop here."

"...Okay." My uncle hesitated for a while and finally nodded in agreement.

But there was some loneliness and reluctance on his face. Maybe making this decision was really a difficult process for him.

Fortunately, he finally agreed, and I can rest assured.

My uncle was very proactive. After he agreed, he immediately transferred the money in the account that did not belong to him to Asheng, and then put down his phone and started eating.

After dinner, my aunt and daughter went back to their room to rest. I looked at the time and it was getting late. I still had some things to deal with in the city, so I discussed with Youhe that we should set off right away. My uncle also had to go back to work, so he would go with us.

However, on the way back to the city, my uncle received a phone call.

"Yes, Ah Sheng, he, he must have come to ask me why I want to return the money." My uncle was holding the phone, feeling a little nervous and a little panicked.

I immediately helped him calm down: "It's okay, just tell him the truth, thank him for the opportunity, but we don't want to continue for the time being."

"Okay!" My uncle calmed down and answered the phone.

As expected, Ah Sheng's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone, and my uncle finished speaking exactly as I had instructed him.

"Uncle Jiao, are you worried about the risks? Don't worry, this project is done by a distant uncle of mine. We are all family. If there were risks, I wouldn't have asked you to do it together. I am also asking you to make money together to repay you. Otherwise, how could such lucrative water flow to outsiders? What's more, people often only have one or two opportunities to make money, and their wealth in life is determined by this opportunity. Are you sure you want to give up?" Ah Sheng began to persuade again.

"No, no, of course I believe you, I trust you, Ah Sheng, but, it's just that I really don't want to continue investing now." My uncle's words sounded a little dry, and he was still trying to explain.

But I frowned, and the doubt in my heart rose again.

There's something really wrong with this Ah Sheng.

He is so good at inciting people and his words are so eloquent, he looks like a liar.

Fortunately, I found out the truth about this matter in time and stopped my uncle in time, otherwise, my uncle would definitely have been deceived by this Ah Sheng.

I gently tugged at the corner of my uncle's clothes, signaling him to end the call quickly. There was no need to say too much to Asheng.

At this moment, Ah Sheng suddenly asked again: "Uncle Jiao, are your family members around?"

"Yes, yes!" my uncle answered subconsciously.

"Uncle Jiao rarely spends time with his family, so I won't disturb him. We can talk about this later." Ah Sheng suddenly stopped persuading him, apologized politely, and then hung up the phone.

My uncle let out a long sigh and wiped the sweat from his forehead, as if he had just experienced a fierce battle.

But I was still worried, so I specifically told my uncle: "Uncle, try to have less contact with this Ah Sheng in the future. No matter what he says, we should not continue to invest in the project."

"Yes! I'll remember it. I'll remember it!" My uncle agreed seriously.

I believed my uncle's promise and finally felt at ease. I told my uncle to focus on his work during this time and not to rush to the new nursing home to find my aunt, but to wait until the situation stabilizes before coming.

My uncle agreed to everything. While they were talking, Youhe had already sent my uncle to the place. After my uncle got out of the car, Youhe turned around and headed towards the university town.

"Please take me to the company first. My car is over there. I will drive home by myself later." But I reminded Youhe to change direction.

Yuhe glanced at me and immediately changed direction: "Okay."

He drove out in silence for a while, then suddenly said, "There's something wrong with that balloon."

"Balloon?" I was thinking about something and didn't react. I looked up blankly, and my eyes met with Youhe's in the rearview mirror. Then I quickly understood, "You mean Nannan?"

The hydrogen balloon that flew away and caused Nannan and Lin Youde to roll down the hillside and get injured.

Yuh suspected there was something wrong with the balloon.

"That balloon was bought by Lin Youde for Nannan." You He nodded and said quietly, "Nannan herself said that the string of the balloon was too fragile. Was it because the string was fragile, or was it damaged intentionally?"

Yu He's words were like a beam of strong light, which instantly cleared my mind. I fixed my eyes, pinched my fingertips into my palms, and slowly asked, "A self-torture trick?"

It is undeniable that Yuhe's conjecture is very likely.

Before the police found him, Lin Youde went to find his aunt to meet her, and offered to return to his hometown to visit his grandmother's grave, kneeling there like a filial son. He also saved his daughter by coincidence, and in order to save her, he rolled down the hillside and was seriously injured.

Recognizing each other and visiting graves are all intentional.

So, was it a coincidence that he rolled down the hillside and was seriously injured while trying to save his daughter?

I'm afraid it was designed in advance and done intentionally.

"That's right." You He nodded and looked at me deeply, "Xu Xu, Lin Youde is very scheming."
