Chapter 506 - Sooner or Later, Karma Will Catch Up
On the other end of the call, Xu Cheng’s face and tone immediately darkened. He asked Shen Yao, “Are those two there to threaten you more?”
“No, no!” Shen Yao immediately said under Wang Ji and his mom’s pleading eyes. “They came to find me because they had no other choice.”
Xu Cheng: “It would be strange if they had another way. It would even be doing Wang Jianbing a favor if he just needs to live in prison from now on. With the sh-t he did, he can easily take a bullet. Don’t worry about this anymore, if the wife and son dare to lay a finger on you, his whole family will be done for.”
“Young Master Xu, please forgive us! We will kowtow to you! Please spare our family’s Old Wang, we were completely blind to have offended you and Miss Shen. We will kowtow to beg for your forgiveness, show us mercy please!”
Wang Ji and his mom cried their hearts out.
“Ah, hurry up and get up, why are you guys kneeling before me.” Shen Yao didn’t expect that these two would drop onto their knees this quick at all.
Hearing Shen Yao exclaiming, Xu Cheng knew those two were really on their knees already.
He sighed over the phone, “What’s done is already done, when the dirt on Wang Jianbing got dug up, the judicial process already began. It’s impossible to reverse the course now.”
“We know, we know! We just hope you can spare him, please! It’s still better to be alive than dead. Please, Young Master Xu!” Mommy Wang held onto Shen Yao’s leg and begged towards the phone.
Xu Cheng asked Shen Yao over the phone, “What’s your thought? If you feel like what happened was forgivable, then I will just leave it up to you.”
Wang Ji immediately said to Shen Yao, “Miss Shen, to be honest, I’ve never seriously offended you, right? And since our relationship hasn’t worsened that much, can you please spare us this once?”
Shen Yao let out a sigh and said to Xu Cheng, “That’s true. I can forgive them, but the problem is that his dad still won’t be able to come back.”
Xu Cheng said, “Then just let them wait at home patiently. I can let his dad return, but after all, he violated the law.”
Wang Ji’s mom: “We know, we understand! It’s good enough that he can come back! In the future, no matter what happens, we definitely wouldn’t be brave enough to stir up any trouble again!”
Xu Cheng said, “Go back and wait. Don’t harass my friend anymore. I will only remind you once.”
“Okay, okay, okay!” Wang Ji and his mom immediately got up and thanked Shen Yao and Shen Wansan and left the condo.
For this whole time, Shen Wansan couldn’t comprehend what was happening before his eyes.
Xu Cheng said, “Oh right, tell your dad, there’s no need to abandon the business expansion plan anymore. Yanjing welcomes all good businesses to invest, a new candidate will take office at the business bureau and contact your dad to talk about an investment. Alright, I’m quite busy right now, so I have to hang up.”
“Uh… wait a second.” Shen Yao suddenly hoped Xu Cheng could stay on the phone for a bit longer with her.
Xu Cheng didn’t hang up and was silently waiting for her to say what she still had to say.
“When do you have time? I will treat you to a meal.”
“Maybe next time.” Then, Xu Cheng hung up.
Hearing the beeping tone on her phone, Shen Yao didn’t feel happy because Xu Cheng helped her out; she felt more blue. It was because Xu Cheng declined her invitation.
“Yao-Yao… did you hear what he just said? A new candidate will take office? He can even get his hands on who gets promoted to be the director of the business bureau in Yanjing?” Shen Wansan was completely shocked and he even began to stutter. “How come you never said anything about his background before? What does he really do? He’s definitely not just a little patrol officer…”
Zhou Zheng nodded. “All prepared, Big Brother.”
The four brothers then picked up the old man, whose body was very stiff and bones were very tough and heavy. They carried him to the bathtub that was prepared and slowly put him in. In winter, the tap water was freezing and was chilly to the bones.
When Elder Zhou’s body touched the water, it began to struggle violently.
“Dad, hold on!” Zhou Zheng clenched his teeth and encouraged his dad, trying to cheer him on.
The four of them were trying their best to hold him down, but at the last moment, they were suddenly all pushed away by the old man’s struggles.
They all fell to the ground and the eldest even fell back into a wall as he stumbled.
Immediately after, Elder Zhou let out a huge roar.
“Amazing!”
His originally hunched body was now standing upright inside the bathtub, and his neck was making cracking noises too.
“Dad, how are you feeling?” The four brothers all swarmed over.
Elder Zhou faintly smiled. “Now I can finally feel how Big Brother Ye felt! It really does feel awesome! I feel like I’ve relieved all the burdens off of my body, and now my body’s just full of energy.”
Zhou Zheng hurriedly passed over a towel to Elder Zhou, and Elder Zhou directly ripped open the clothes he originally had on him. His strength clearly had recovered to his prime.
Although there were a lot of wrinkles on his body, it didn’t hold back the explosive power of this old man at all.
After getting changed into the Asian tunic suit, he said to Zhou Zheng, “That girl Ye Ting is very good, I don’t want other people to snatch her away. Put your best effort in, put aside work stuff for now and spend more time with Ye Ting. It’s best to go through with this marriage as soon as possible.”
Zhou Zheng quickly nodded. “Yes, Dad. But, I’m just afraid that she wouldn’t think I qualify.”
Elder Zhou: “Your Uncle Ye gave the green light, and if you still can’t successfully court her, then you would really disappoint me. Remember, Xu Cheng could save me, he can also save you guys. This is why I want you to marry Ye Ting.”
The four brothers all nodded solemnly, especially the eldest son. He was already sixty this year, already starting to feel fatigued more and more often recently. He knew what kind of effect it would have on the Zhou Family if Zhou Zheng could marry Xu Cheng’s Auntie Lan.
“Zhou Zheng, if you need any help, just let me know,” Zhou Zheng’s big brother said.
Zhou Zheng felt an enormous amount of pressure. It seemed like the whole focus of the Zhou Family now was to hope that he could form an alliance marriage with the family member of this godly doctor.
Xu Cheng’s call finally connected. Inside Shen Yao’s condo, the Wang mother and son duo came very early in the morning, all hoping that Shen Yao could try to call Xu Cheng a few more times.
This time, it really went through.
“Hello?”
“Xu Cheng, are you alright?” Shen Yao asked anxiously.
“Oh, yeah, of course. I didn’t have my phone on me yesterday so I couldn’t pick up. My bad. Oh right, you don’t have to worry about the Wang Family anymore. With the amount of dirt on his dad, he can spend the rest of his life in prison. Those in good relation with him are also being investigated, so don’t worry about other people seeking trouble.”
Bam!
Wang Ji and Mama Wang directly fell onto their knees as they cried and said in the background, “Young Master Xu, mercy, please! Forgive us once, please!”
On Shen Yao’s side, Shen Wansan directly froze upon witnessing this.
