Chapter 1403 - 1401: Made Public
AM.
A document was placed on Wei Xueqing’s desk.
Wei Xueqing looked at Ye Xin, who had a smile on her face, with confusion and picked up the document.
"Lawsuit Cancellation Letter!" Wei Xueqing’s eyes widened, and she exclaimed in surprise.
This matter had been giving her a massive headache, and she didn’t expect a lawsuit cancellation letter to arrive now!
Yu Tengzhong actually stopped the lawsuit!
"How on earth did you manage this?" Wei Xueqing found it hard to believe.
Ye Xin gave a slight smile, sat elegantly on the sofa, took a sip of coffee, and remarked, "The coffee here isn’t good, not as good as the one Yang Chen makes."
Wei Xueqing involuntarily rolled her eyes, "Everything here is machine-made; how could it compare to Yang Chen’s hand-ground brew! Besides, he’s not a professional barista, and I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve actually tasted his coffee!"
Ye Xin blinked and said, "Then I’ll tell him when I get back! You’ve done so much work for him, and he doesn’t even make coffee for you! So stingy!"
"No!" Wei Xueqing quickly waved it off and said, "He has his own things to do; he can’t just sit around making coffee for me every day!"
Ye Xin giggled and didn’t say much more.
"By the way! You haven’t told me how you did it! Yu Tengzhong is someone who, once he grabs someone, never lets go. If this matter succeeded, he would gain who knows how much money; how could he give up so easily?" Wei Xueqing asked in confusion.
Ye Xin shrugged, "It’s just settled, isn’t it! Whatever it was, isn’t it better now?"
Seeing that Ye Xin didn’t want to say more, Wei Xueqing gave her a long look and didn’t press further.
After all, resolving the issue was a good thing, and regarding what was done or how it was done, she didn’t need to know too much.
Now that a major worry was resolved, Wei Xueqing felt her work efficiency had increased significantly and worked with more enthusiasm.
Ye Xin watched Wei Xueqing, smiled, and then looked down at a magazine.
...
In the manor.
"Boss!" Night Fire stood in front of Yang Chen and said, "After he knew we got his diary, he completely caved and answered everything. However... he still won’t divulge who’s behind him. He admits he has backing, continually saying if he speaks, he’s as good as dead, yet he still won’t say anything!"
Yang Chen smiled and said to Night Fire, "Worried about these people for what? As long as you’re ruthless enough, they’ll talk! Charity only lets them inch forward!"
"Yes! I understand!" A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Night Fire’s eyes as he turned to leave.
"Wait a minute!" Yang Chen called out to Night Fire.
Night Fire turned back, looking at Yang Chen in confusion.
"I’ll handle it."
Yang Chen strode out ahead.
In the interrogation room.
Yu Tengzhong was throwing a sugar-coated bomb at Purple Cultivator.
"Brother! I know you speak Flame Country’s language well and understand what I mean! If you can let me go, I’ll consider you my brother, and you’ll get half my wealth! How about that?"
"You might not know just how much I own. Let me put it this way: how much can you earn working here? Ten thousand? Twenty? Fifty? A hundred? Even at a hundred thousand, it’s only about 1.2 million a year, and after taxes, you wouldn’t even get a million! Do you know how much wealth I hold?"
"I have eighteen properties in Ancheng! Nine villas! None below an average price of 15,000! The highest villa is 100,000 per square meter! You get how much money I have now, right? And that’s just the real estate; my bank assets are sixty million! I own many luxury cars! Rolls-Royce! Ferrari! Mercedes! Whatever you want, I have it! Want beauties? If you want, I can find you ten or eight, no problem!"
"Think about it, I’ll give you nine properties and a few villas, several million in assets, luxury cars! Endless fortune and luxury for you to enjoy! Beauties are at your fingertips!"
"Just let me go, and all this is yours!"
"Brother, yes or no, just say the word!"
Yu Tengzhong spoke until his mouth was dry, yet the Purple Cultivator opposite him remained as calm as ever, as if he hadn’t even heard and was meditating like some stone statue.
"Oh really?" The door was suddenly pushed open, and Yang Chen walked in, smiling at Yu Tengzhong, "Give me those assets, and I’ll let you go!"
"Really?" Yu Tengzhong was overjoyed.
But when he saw Night Fire follow in behind, his face immediately fell.
He’d tried this ploy on Night Fire before.
He’d thought Night Fire intended to take these things as threats for money but hadn’t expected him to be utterly unmoved by the massive temptation.
Yang Chen sat down and said to Yu Tengzhong, "How about this: tell me who’s behind you, and I’ll let you go! Deal?"
Yu Tengzhong immediately fell silent, bowing his head in refusal to speak.
Seeing this, Yang Chen smiled, "I take it you’re afraid once you talk about your backers, they’ll kill you! But do you know, if you don’t tell us, we’ll kill you right now! Your choice!"
Hearing this, Yu Tengzhong couldn’t help but shudder.
"You all!" Yu Tengzhong lifted his head to look at Yang Chen, only to find him speaking so lightly as if joking, but there was no hint of a joke in his eyes.
The cold gleam flickering in those smiling eyes made his whole body shiver with goosebumps!
"Remember, your chances are few!" Yang Chen took the documents, flipping through as he said indifferently, "What you’ve done enrages both man and god; if I kill you now, I wouldn’t feel the least bit guilty! But I won’t kill you; I have better options! First, I’ll publish all this, then dump you out there! You’ll be criticized by thousands, and a single spit from each will drown you! Second, forced confession through torture, we’ll slowly wear you down! Until you spill! I reckon with your long work indoors, your fitness might not hold up through a few rounds."
Listening to these words, Yu Tengzhong felt chilled from head to toe, realizing Yang Chen was a demon!
"Oh, right!" Yang Chen took out a photo from the documents, waved it in front of Yu Tengzhong, "This picture is really good, this woman quite charming. I think, your wife and this woman’s husband would love to see this photo. That way, you won’t need to say anything, half of your assets will have a home."
"You!" Yu Tengzhong gritted his teeth in anger, feeling a chill run down his spine.
He glared at Yang Chen, wishing to kill him.
But he couldn’t even move now.
Finally, like a deflated ball, Yu Tengzhong compromised, "Fine! I’ll talk! I’ll tell you everything, just don’t release that stuff!"
Yang Chen smiled, "That’s more like it, cooperating early would have avoided all this!"
Yang Chen’s smile appeared to Yu Tengzhong to be nothing less than that of a devil!
