Chapter 479: 478: Setting up a Trap (Third Update)

Milky Way.

Yin Qin sneered at Weng Cheng, saying contemptuously, “I always thought you were capable. As it turns out, you’re nothing special.”

“Yin Qin!” Weng Cheng clenched his fists.

“Economic crime is not light nor heavy. With good compensation, a sincere apology, and a good lawyer, you can be out in 2 or 3 years. It would be too easy for you, cousin! But luckily, you chose your own demise. Encouraging others to commit crimes, especially to violate a girl. According to the laws of Yanshang Country, will they sentence you to 20 years, 30 years, or life?” Yin Qin laughed, supremely satisfied.

“You’re actually conspiring against me, Yin Qin!” Weng Cheng completely lost control of himself.

He looked at Yin Qin in disbelief, incredulous that this prodigal son had become so adept.

“Cousin, what will you become after 20 years? You’ll be 50 years old! Let me forecast for you. By then, the Milky Way will be firmly in my hands. Perhaps your mother would’ve passed, and my son would be grown up enough to assist me. Maybe even I’ll be a grandfather, while you would be all alone…”

“Enough!” Weng Cheng went livid. “Yin Qin, I have underestimated you. I fell for your trick! All these years, you were just pretending to be incompetent!”

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got.

His body was uncontrollably trembling.

Yin Qin chuckled, “The winner takes it all, loser has no say. You’d better leave now, cousin, before you humiliate yourself further. It’s better to focus on how you will plead in court for a lesser sentence. Oh, and don’t fool yourself. There is direct evidence that you incited those five. I believe you’re very aware of this.”

“Yin Qin!” At this point, Weng Cheng genuinely wanted to kill him.

“You only have yourself to blame for not knowing me well. You assumed I wouldn’t call the police or use legal measures to resolve the issue with Baixin, leading you to be careless. If you were as stealthy as the last time when you kidnapped Baixin, I wouldn’t have any chance to catch you. Cousin, crime does not pay. Farewell.”

Weng Cheng’s face turned beet red.

He never imagined that Yin Qin would report the crime. In his understanding, Yin Qin loved Ji Baixin so deeply that he would do anything for her, certainly not exposing Baixin’s reputation. That’s why he didn’t craft a more careful plan and directly ordered people to violate Baixin.

He never dreamt that this might be a trap set up by Yin Qin.

A trap that lasted so long and was so intricate.

“I’ll not see you off.” Yin Qin left a cold farewell and turned away.

Weng Cheng left the Milky Way, suppressing his anger.

Watching Weng Cheng leave, Wu Meili felt a sense of satisfaction.

Seeing their chairman outperforming director Weng had been satisfying these days.

But still.

This didn’t mean in her eyes he wasn’t a jerk anymore!

Weng Cheng left the Milky Way and got into his car.

He was so angry that his body was shaking.

Thinking about the possibility of facing a 20-year prison sentence made him unable to calm down.

He could accept 2 years, but not 20 years.

He grabbed his phone, gritted his teeth, and made a call.

The other side picked up, sounding as impatient as always. “I told you not to call me anymore. Just deal with your own lawsuit. We’ll talk after you’re out!”

“I need your help!” Weng Cheng said straightforwardly, with a somewhat heavy tone.

Ye Wenhan laughed coldly, “How many times do I have to say it? I can’t help you. Don’t ruin my career because of your two years! It’s not worth it!”

“It’s not two years, it may be 20 years now!”

“What have you done?!” Ye Wenhan turned pale.

Weng Cheng told him everything.

“Have you gone mad? You actually did such a thing!” Ye Wenhan didn’t hide his sarcasm. “You’re asking for your own death. You deserve it!”

“I acknowledge that I lost completely to Yin Qin. I didn’t expect him to be this kind of person, to be this deceptive. I admit I was tricked badly, very badly. I admit that I was outsmarted by Yin Qin. I concede defeat! But I cannot spend 20 years in jail, I just can’t! You must help me!”

“Why should I?” Ye Wenhan scoffed.

“Ye Wenhan, you can’t abandon me like this! I’ve been loyal to you, and now you’re simply ignoring my plight!”

“Did I get you in this mess? You did this to yourself because you’re an idiot!”

“Regardless, you must help me, or else…” Weng Cheng grew serious, “Or else don’t blame me for exposing everything you made me do.”

“You dare?!” Ye Wenhan’s voice changed.

He was in his office and rose from his chair.

“Anyway, I’ve reached the end. What’s the difference between 20 years and the death sentence? We go down together! I’ll tell the court that you made me kidnap Baixin, I’ll tell the court that you were the one who killed those five, just to silence them. Yi Wenhan, your crimes are no better than mine!”

“Have you gone mad, Weng Cheng?”

“I have no other options. Anyway, we either die together or survive together. I’m giving you half a day. If you don’t give me an answer by 5 PM, I will expose everything. This is not a threat!”

With that, Weng Cheng abruptly hung up the phone.

Ye Wenhan was gripping his phone, his whole body trembling.

Weng Cheng, Weng Cheng!

He was nothing but a dog he had raised, and now it was biting him.

He was holding back his anger, his massive rage.

He picked up the phone, reining in his emotions, “Secretary Qian, come here.”

In Commercial Management, he was the captain; Qian Guanshu had to show him the utmost respect.

The office door was knocked open.

Qian Guanshu came in, and closed the door.

The moment the door closed, Qian Guanshu’s face changed, “What is it?!”

Ye Wenhan seemed hesitant to speak.

“What happened again!” Qian Guanshu snapped harshly.

It seemed like he was expecting bad news.

Ye Wenhan spoke his mind.

Qian Guanshu suddenly slapped Ye Wenhan’s desk hard, causing a loud noise.

Ye Wenhan didn’t dare to say a word in front of the furious Qian Guanshu.

“Ye Wenhan, what the hell have you done? You’ve been the captain of Commercial Management for almost 2 years, what have you achieved!” Qian Guanshu asked him furiously.

Ye Wenhan gritted his teeth.

“Worthless!” Qian Guanshu cursed without any pretense.

Ye Wenhan felt bitter inside, continually forcing himself to bear it.

The standoff lasted for a few seconds.

“Kill Weng Cheng,” Qian Guanshu said.

Ye Wenhan looked at Qian Guanshu in disbelief.

“You are waiting for him to report you? Or do you really believe we can mess with the laws of Yanshang Country, and that with iron-clad evidence against Weng Cheng, we can clear his name!” Qian Guanshu was getting angrier and angrier.

“But how can we reasonably kill Weng Cheng at this critical moment? Didn’t you say we are under surveillance too? If we do something, won’t we be caught too!” Ye Wenhan asked.

“Don’t make a move in Yanshang Country!” Qian Guanshu said coldly.

“What do you mean?”

“Tell Weng Cheng to run first. We’ll try to get him out of Yanshang Country first, and bring him back once we’ve settled these things.”

“Will he believe it?”

“Does he have any other choice?” Qian Guanshu retorted.

Ye Wenhan pursed his lips.

“We’ll smuggle Weng Cheng out of Yanshang Country and sink the ship into the sea. With the high winds and big waves out there, anything could happen, and no one would ever suspect us!” Qian Guanshu said mercilessly.

Ye Wenhan looked at his father, “Are you planning to sacrifice a shipful of people for Weng Cheng?”

“Are you still clinging to a woman’s kindness?!” Qian Guanshu retorted, “For self-interest, we wouldn’t hesitate to sacrifice a hundred or even ten thousand people!”

Ye Wenhan nodded.

He was just confirming if they really had to do this. He didn’t care, he wasn’t that considerate to care for others’ lives.

A cold smile appeared on his face.

Weng Cheng, you brought this on yourself!

Don’t blame me!

“Before Weng Cheng leaves, have a meeting with him alone. Gauge his intentions and see if he has left us any evidence. I’m worried if something happened to him, there might be plans in place.” Qian Guanshu expressed his concerns.

“You’re afraid if something happens to him, he’ll hand out our evidence of crime!” Ye Wenhan was somewhat agitated.

“It’s not out of the question. As a precaution, we mustn’t leave any threats behind.”

“Okay,” Ye Wenhan replied.

Qian Guanshu glared hard at his son.

He didn’t know how to help this piece of shit!
