âI did it, thereâs nothing to be afraid of,â Pinliang lied. âUncle Chu, since you know, Iâll tell you everything, just accept me as your son-in-law, as you have no choice! I did it without a condom, so even if you as the grandfather donât accept the baby, my dad would love to have a grandchild!â
âIf you had the balls to do it and come to my office, arenât you afraid that Iâll send you to the police station?â Pengzhan couldnât tell if Pinliang was telling the truth or lying, but he was deeply offended. He wasnât even this offended when Gubang tried to take over his company! He was rather regretful and sorrowful at the time, but right now he wanted to choke Pinliang to death!
âHehe, I knew that you wouldnât do that!â Pinliang shook his head. âUncle Chu, youâre famous throughout Songshan, and Pengzhan Industries is one of the Fortune 500 companies, so many people have their eyes set on you. I believe that you, Uncle Chu, wonât embarrass yourself! Besides, feeding a girl aphrodisiac or the so-called love drug, my crime will only make me sit in the jail for few years at mostâ¦. But the point is that you canât find any evidence. Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you that my dad is working with Cihua and Master Bing now. I think Master Bing wonât ignore my imprisonment, right?â
Uncle Chu had, of course, heard of âMaster Bingâ before. The deal made by Gubang and Cihua was all because of this âMaster Bing!â âMaster Bingâ was the bastard son of the head of one of the noble houses. The noble house had enormous influence in society. âMaster Bingâ alone was very strong, which was why Pengzhan did not take action against him after knowing that he was the ringleader of the whole scheme!
Even fighting against Cihua, Pengzhan would lose very badly, let alone when the person was Master Bing. Pengzhan was in legitimate business. He held no power or authority over the underworld people like Cihua and and did not intend to join them.
Pengzhan started to wonder. When did Pinliangâs father get connections with Master Bing? Which part of Fabai did Master Bing value?
Pinliang noticed the change in expression on Pengzhanâs face. He felt full of himself and continued mocking, âUncle Chu, consider well before answering me! Let me tell you, if you sue me, Iâll be going to the jail, which is full of Cihuaâs people, and Iâll enjoy my life there! But for you, you will have offended Cihua and delayed Master Bingâs plan. Not much needs to be said. You know the consequences!â
âI donât care who you are! If you hurt my daughter, Iâll gladly sacrifice everything to make you pay!â Pengzhan glared at Pinliang. He wasnât keen to do things this way, but for his daughter, he was ready to surrender everything.
âWhatâs the point? Iâm not even an embarrassment as your son-in-law. Since the deeds been done, why donât you just accept me and agree to our engagement!â Pinliang calmly advised, âMy dad is no longer the normal showbiz CEO he was before. My family has a strong patron backing us up and itâs not even inferior to House Chu! What do you think? Arenât I speaking reasonably?â
âNot at all!â Chu PengZhan said coldly, âIf you really did it with Yaoyao, even with your patron, Iâll make you pay. I donât joke!â
âI-Is that necessary?â Pinliang was afraid to look into Uncle Chuâs eyes and gave our a hollow laugh. âYou should know that your daughter is no longer a virgin. If you still insist, youâll only ruin your reputation as well as Yaoyaoâs! Sheâs taken a liking to me, and if youâd open your eyes and look at your situation, Iâd still respect you as my father-in-law! Otherwise, we can continue this fight!â
âSure, I would like to see whoâs coming to cover for you! Is it Cihua or Master Bing?â Pengzhan said slowly.
Pinliang started to panic. Why was Pengzhan so stubborn? He thought that businessmen would prioritize their profits and not make enemies! It was best for him to follow Pinliang in order to achieve a win-win scenario, so why was he trying to sabotage things and sink both ships?
But he acted normal and asked, âUncle Chu, youâve decided to sue me?â
âLet me think about it, you can go home.â Pengzhan stopped threatening him and dismissed him with a wave of his hand.
Pengzhanâs attitude confused Pinliang. What did he mean? Did he accept or reject me? Why was he suddenly asking me to leave?
âUmâ¦â Pinliang knew that with Pengzhan ordering him to leave, he insisted on staying, it would only raise Pengzhanâs suspicion. He guessed that Pengzhan was indecisive with the problem and win-win scenario that was suddenly brought up to him. He was probably balancing the losses and profits of sinking both ships or accepting him as the son-in-law!
Pinliang let out a sigh of relief thinking that he still had a chance and said, âOK, think carefully, Uncle Chu. If you must send me to the jail, then think of your consequences!â
Pengzhan remained silent, so Pinliang had no choice but to get out of his seat. He couldnât proceed with his plan with Pengzhanâs attitude. He had thought that if Chu PengZhan accepted him, he would immediately go to the cave and have sex with Mengyao. But if Pengzhan refused, he would release Mengyao straight away and trust Pengzhan. He wouldnât do anything against him if Yaoyao returned to him safe and sound!
If Mengyao was returned safe and sound and Pengzhan still held a grudge, his actions would be intolerable and unacceptable. Master Bing and Cihua wouldnât be happy about it! This was one of the reasons he was brave enough to kidnap Yaoyao. After meeting Cihua and Master Bing, he had gotten bolder.
