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

Chapter 560

Under the incandescent light of the ward, my uncle slowly opened his eyes. The moment he saw me, his cloudy eyes were filled with infinite guilt and regret.

He avoided looking at me, his bloodless lips trembling, "Xu Xu, I, I'm sorry, I don't, I don't have the face to see you."

"Uncle, let's not talk about this. Let's drink some water." I looked at his pale and puckered lips and handed the prepared light salt water to his mouth.

I have said that no matter how much money I lose, I can earn it back, as long as my loved ones are safe.

Tears welled up in my uncle's eyes. He wiped them away fiercely and cursed angrily, "I must find Ah Sheng and take back everything I lost. I must also beat that beast Ah Sheng to pieces!"

"Uncle, let's not think about this now. Ah Sheng can't get away. He will be caught sooner or later. Let's drink the water first and take care of our bodies." I supported my uncle, interrupted his fierce curse, and stared into his eyes and whispered, "Uncle, can you promise me that you will never do such a stupid thing again? You know you are very important to us. No matter how big the problem is, we will all support it together. You can't abandon us."

My uncle took the cup of water, a tear fell into the water, and he nodded heavily: "Okay!"

He still couldn't eat after gastric lavage, so I stayed with my uncle and asked about A Sheng's specific condition.

My uncle got emotional when he mentioned Ah Sheng: "He, he told me that this project was very, very big, and asked me if I could eat, I didn't want to invest, but he took me to see the construction site, it was a big construction site, so I invested."

Construction site?

The other party actually has real business.

I immediately asked, "Where is the exact location of the construction site? Have you met the project manager of the construction site?"

"Yes, I have! I still have the contact number!" My uncle's eyes lit up and he answered hurriedly, then he reached into his pocket with difficulty to find his phone, and kept saying, "The construction site is on the west side of Jianshe Road."

This was beyond my expectations.

I originally thought that Ah Sheng was involved in purely virtual investment, and that he would never see any real industry. But I didn't expect that he actually had a construction site, and it really existed.

My uncle even met the project manager.

This matter makes me a little confused.

If this is a scam specifically targeting my uncle, then the other party would definitely leave no trace and run away after getting the money. It would be difficult for us to find Ah Sheng or other accomplices. In this case, I would have no choice but to swallow my anger and have no way to deal with the other party.

But they actually have real business, isn't that obviously leaving me a clue?

This doesn't make sense.

At this moment, my uncle had taken out his mobile phone, opened the address book, found the phone number of the project leader, and directly clicked to make the call.

No one answered the phone. When I called again, the call could not be connected. When my uncle called for the third time, the other party's phone was turned off.

This is not good news, but it is not bad news either, because I have searched for specific information about the project on the Internet using the name of the project leader.

The project is real.

At this moment, You He came in hurriedly from outside: "Xu Xu, I checked it out. Ah Sheng was hiding. There was a big problem with their project. There was an accident due to shoddy work on the construction site. Two people died and more than ten were injured! Now this matter has attracted the attention of the higher-ups. The project has been suspended and the person in charge has fled. So it is really difficult for Uncle Jiao to get back the money he invested."

My heart skipped a beat. This matter was getting complicated.

We originally thought it was a money scam, and as long as we could catch the people behind Ah Sheng, we might still be able to get the money back. But now there are so many things involved, even lives are involved, so we are in trouble.

But I didn’t want my uncle to worry too much, so I comforted him immediately: “It’s okay. If the money can’t be returned, then don’t take it. We are all fine now. Uncle, you take a rest first. I have to call my aunt first. She has been worried about you.”

Although my uncle woke up, his physical and mental condition were not very good. He fell asleep again tiredly with a frown on his face.

I left the ward with Youhe and asked him in a low voice, "Are there any other troubles?"

Just now in the ward, I saw him stop talking halfway, and there was obviously something hidden in the look in his eyes when he looked at me, so I knew that this matter might not be simple.

"Xuxu, you have to be mentally prepared. This is not as simple as money." You He's brows were full of seriousness, and his tone was solemn. "Uncle Jiao not only invested in the project, but also served in a certain position in the project. It seems to be a sinecure, but in fact, he is also a participant in the project. Now that the project leader has run away, I am afraid that the responsibility will be implicated on him."

Even though I was mentally prepared, I was still shocked by this fact.

Things are more complicated than I thought.

The people behind Ah Sheng were much more vicious than I thought!

Not only did they trick my uncle into investing, they also tricked him into taking responsibility. When the project went wrong, my uncle had to take responsibility! My uncle had not received much education, and he had no precautions against these things. He invested secretly and never asked me, so he suffered such a big loss.

"Transfer to another hospital, transfer your uncle to another hospital immediately." I heard my voice trembling, even though I tried my best to control it and stay calm. "We also need to contact a lawyer. We must find a way to handle this as soon as possible."

"Okay, I'll contact them." You He took the initiative to contact the lawyer. He has many friends in the legal circle.

I immediately went to arrange for my uncle's transfer to another hospital. Just when I was halfway through, my aunt called me via WeChat video.

I knew she must have failed to contact my uncle and was worried about his condition, so she called me to ask about him.

I couldn't answer her call in the hospital, so I hurried out of the inpatient department and found a quiet corner with few people to call her via video: "Aunt."

"Xuxu, where are you? Why did you take so long to answer the phone? I just called your uncle but no one answered. I'm very worried about him. Have you seen him? Is something wrong with him?" The aunt's face on the screen was full of anxiety, and questions popped up one after another.

I tried my best to sound natural: "I just came out of my uncle's house. It's okay, aunt. My uncle just blames himself too much. He wants to be alone now. Let's give him some space and not disturb him, okay?"

"So that's how it is." Auntie's brows relaxed for a moment, then frowned again, "But I'm still worried. He's a stubborn person, and he's easily upset. I'm worried about him..."

"Don't worry, I asked Youhe to accompany him, and I also asked some colleagues for help. My uncle will be fine." I tried to comfort my aunt.

My aunt was finally relieved and promised me that she would stay in the nursing home during this period, then she hung up the phone tiredly.

I put away my phone, but caught a glimpse of light out of the corner of my eye.
