The Cherished Old Time - C190
Shang Wujin’s return not only had a huge impact on the nation’s business circles, it had also caused quite a sensation in A City.
was thoroughly disappointed.
Now that they met again, his father didn’t seem to have changed at all. He liked to dress in simple and comfortable attire. He looked like an ordinary old man, but in reality, there were countless schemes hidden within his heart.
“The ring.” It had only been an hour since they met, but Shang Wujin had already went straight to the point.
Shang Hui stood at the side with his head lowered. The Shang Hui who was usually arrogant and conceited, at this moment, was so respectful and careful that he didn’t even dare to breathe too hard.
Shang Wujin had built the Shang Clan Empire, and in the hearts of his sons, he was even more fearsome.
This was something that had been deeply ingrained in them since they were young. The fear rooted in their hearts would never change, no matter how old or powerful they were.
“Ring …” Shang Hui’s shoulders tensed up, and the last two words were spoken while gritting his teeth: “I lost it.”
“It’s lost, or given to someone else.” The meaning of Shang Wujin’s words was that since he would return, it was impossible for him to not know what was going on.
Shang Hui did not conceal anything from his father; he was just revealing his attitude towards his father.
Shang Wujin laughed coldly.
“Women can only be clothes.” After Shang Wujin said this, he raised his eyebrows and asked Shang Hui, “I taught you this since you were young, why did you forget about it so quickly?”
“Son didn’t forget.” Shang Hui respectfully bowed his head the entire time. His tone, however, was firm and determined.
He would not reveal Remnant Dream, because he knew what his father was capable of.
“Alright.” Shang Wujin leaned back on the sofa once again, his body was stuck in the soft cushion, but his face was tense and fearsome: “I sent my men to kill the woman who gave you the pregnancy, do you have any objections?”
Shang Hui’s expression did not change, he kept his head down.
“I’m sorry, but my son has caused trouble for my father.”
“This is our Shang Clan’s rule.” Shang Wujin seemed to sigh in pity, but in his eyes, there was not the slightest bit of guilt or unwillingness: “Since you broke the rules, then someone must bear the consequences.”
“Son understands.”
The so-called rule of the merchant was that as the heir to the merchant house, all the plans for his life must be made according to the schedule set by his father.
A child could only be born after Shang Wujin nodded in agreement.
Before that, once pregnant, the mother and child would not be left alive.
This was the so-called responsibility of wrongdoing. In this rule of a merchant, the price of a mother and child was their lives, and as fathers, they had to bear the lives of two entire people.
The reason why Shang Hui was so furious earlier, was because he knew that if this matter became any bigger, the consequences would be two lives.
Yu Meng did not know the price she had to pay after changing the medicine, so she naturally did not understand the reason why Shang Hui was so angry.
Shang Hui only wanted to protect Lina’s life, but in the end, he did not succeed.
Yu Meng had done something that she could not bear the consequences of, and the only thing Shang Hui could do was to help her.
These two lives were on his head, so no matter what happened in the future, he would admit defeat.
“I’ll ask you again, are you sure you want to take all the mistakes on your own?”
Shang Wujin was old, and it was rare for him to have such a soft-hearted expression in his life, he only hoped that his son wouldn’t be tied down by a woman. His future road is still so long, he is an outstanding child, he has the ability to inherit his everything.
He had made such a useless mistake.
The reason why Shang Wujin asked again, was because he hoped that Shang Hui would do his best to find a way out.
If he chose to keep his mouth shut for the sake of a woman and gave up this second chance, then Shang Wujin would definitely not be lenient.
After a while, Shang Hui lowered his head and expressionlessly voiced out his choice.
“Your son is willing to bear the burden.”
Shang Wujin closed his eyes tightly, his disappointment accompanied with anger. This made the old man, who had always been calm, breathless, and anxious. His favorite son, the one he admired the most, was the one he spent the most time and effort to cultivate.
“Bam!”
The silenced pistol echoed a few times in the quiet room.
Shang Wujin threw away the smoke emitting from his injured gun, stood up, took the handkerchief and wiped his hands, then raised his leg and walked over to the man who was lying in a pool of blood.
The last trace of pity in his eyes was eventually replaced by indifference.
This was what a merchant was.
On the other side, Dihao Community, Yu Meng’s house.
“An unexpected change has occurred in the Shang family. The police are involved in the investigation. Is the business empire that has stood for so many years coming to an end? ”
For the next few days, Yu Meng was able to go from television, to news on her phone and so on … See this news title
She stayed at home alone, and even if she couldn’t reach Shang Hui in a row, she couldn’t get through to him. As for Lina, she seemed to have disappeared from the world, there was no news at all.
Like everyone else, the only way she knew was through the news.
The news said that a group of merchants had been exposed as having been involved in the laundering of money, fraud, and other business crimes. They were all likely to be the ones who had logged in using their passwords.
Also, Shang Hui had fallen in love with an actress, and became pregnant first … This way, it wouldn’t be easy for Lina to get rid of the child, because as long as the woman wasn’t willing, if she said a few words on the internet for sympathy, Shang Hui would immediately be morally kidnapped, and eventually become a demon that could kill her own children.
This kind of image was not good for the Shang Clan nor for Shang Hui.
However, the reason why the so-called inheritor had changed was because Shang Duo had ran out halfway. The face that was similar to Shang Hui’s, but the negative news didn’t have as much as Shang Hui, the person who Shang Duo was unearthed from the internet, who had gone overseas to study when he was young, who had won all kinds of international prizes and earned all kinds of money from foreigners, and who had returned home with the intention of making the family business even better. His energetic appearance had ignited throughout the entire family, causing Shang Hui’s husband, who was admired by countless women, to turn ruthless overnight.
In this age of the internet, everything had changed in an instant. They had held him so high, and now they were mercilessly making him look so handsome.
She looked at the obscene invectives on the web, as well as those women that had been with Shang Hui before and were dumped later on. Previously, he didn’t dare speak a word because of Shang Hui’s position, but seeing that his power was about to disappear, one by one, they came out to control him, taking various selfie shots.
There were thousands of people pointing fingers at him, but it was just this much.
After waiting for a few days, Yu Meng could no longer hold herself back. Although she had also admitted that Shang Hui was a genuine big bastard, he was not completely useless.
Moreover, all of this was clearly a conspiracy, all caused by Shang Duo.
If Shang Duo felt that he was about to succeed, then he was wrong. Yu Meng took out a black recording pen from her bag.
This was originally just Yu Meng’s way of self-defense. In all the interactions she had with Shang Duo, she had secretly recorded everything, but she did not expect that the evidence would be brought out for Shang Hui’s sake.
Their relationship was very subtle. They were clearly very disappointed with each other, but every time they met with danger, they could not bear to abandon each other.
The person she was looking for was not the media, neither was it Shang Duo. The reason why she was able to stay silent for so long was because she was waiting for someone to appear.
Shang Wujin, Shang Hui and Shang Duo’s father were also the ones who had created the Shang Clan Empire. His story was renowned internationally, and his methods, abilities, life experiences, and even the mysterious and unfathomable rich and powerful characters from the Shang family. For so many years, outsiders had been fighting for everything that they wanted to know.
And the one who created all of this was this mysterious man.
In order to keep it a secret, the merchant’s children never went to school. They grew up in the merchant’s house, attended classes at the merchant’s house, and stayed with the merchant’s brothers. In the end, they fought with their brothers in the red brick wall until their heads bled.
These things were enough to make Shang Wujin, this man, be afraid for the rest of the world.
They had always been living abroad, but this time was because of Shang Hui. It was their first time back home after many years.
At this point, it was enough to see how serious the matter was.
Yu Meng wasn’t sure if Old Master Shang would respect her, but all she could do was try her best.
Di Jing Garden was the small district that she had lived in with Shang Hui before. When she walked into the 3 storey Ocean Auction House again, they still looked the same as before. However, the closer she got, the more unfamiliar she felt.
Inside and outside, there were black-clothed bodyguards. It didn’t look like they were living in a person’s home. The tight security and careful protection had turned this place into a hell.
Yu Meng walked towards the door, but was stopped by two black-robed guards as she approached.
“I want to see Master Shang.”
“Who is this?”
“My name is Yu Meng, I have important evidence to give to Master Shang.”
The man hesitated for a moment, then turned around and lowered his head to speak into the walkie-talkie at his collar.
She then turned around and spoke to Yu Meng with an expressionless face.
“Follow me.”
Seeing Shang Wujin seemed to be easier than seeing him in the Yu Meng Elephant.
He sat in the yard with an extra rocking chair in the white pavilion. The man wore sackcloth clothes with Chinese buttons, beige slacks, and a lazy look. He wore black sunglasses as he rested in the rocking chair.
From the looks of it, it was impossible to determine the other party’s age.
