Sinister Plot!

585: Chapter 585: Ambition of a Ruthless Son!

Sinister Plot!

Retaliation!

Revenge!

Wei Honghua had never considered making a sincere apology or compensation.

Today’s incident was utterly disgraceful.

He, Wei Honghua, had lost all face, and without guessing, he knew he would become the butt of many jokes.

If he apologized and paid money, given Tang Xin and Wu Jie’s strong positions, they would surely demand a king’s ransom.

Then he would not only lose face but also money, the typical scenario of ‘losing both reputation and wealth’.

Therefore.

Wei Honghua couldn’t bear to be made a fool of, to have his reputation tarnished and be left penniless.

But he knew that Tianyuan and the Tang Family were powerful, and he couldn’t confront them with conventional methods.

Therefore, he had to be extremely careful in carrying out his plan, hence the humility and politeness.

Waiting was a torment!

Fortunately…

Tang Pingde had not spoken against it for a while, which was tantamount to tacit approval.

Wei Honghua was overjoyed inside, but he did not show it.

Keep your cool!

Continue the acting!

“Lastly, I know I’ve caused no small amount of psychological trauma to the two ladies!

So…”

Wei Honghua said as he threw two bank cards and a mobile phone onto the stone table.

“This is my mobile phone, my personal card, and the company’s corporate card!”

“For easier memory, the mobile phone’s start-up password and the payment password are both six five seven nine two eight.”

“So, please feel free to use the money in my cards!

Even if you clean them out, that’s fine!”

“You can also rest assured that before I came in here, I didn’t transfer any assets, this is truly all I have!”

As soon as he finished speaking.

Tang Xin asked coldly, “All you have?

So how much money do you have in total?”

“Tens of millions,” Wei Honghua added, “If you find that insufficient, there’s a stock trading app on the phone, you can sell off the stocks I hold, probably worth twenty to thirty million, all together I definitely have one hundred million!”

Fang Qingya chuckled lightly.

“All in all, you’re only planning to compensate one hundred million?”

Wei Honghua shook his head and said, “Miss Fang, isn’t it?

I apologise to you first, then let me explain!”

“All the money from my personal and company accounts is here.

Although I have not been ruined by the loss, it should show my sincerity, right?”

“I know the money I am compensating is still far from the two hundred million Gold Coins you’re asking for!”

“But…

that’s all the money I can come up with!”

“If you’re not in a hurry, I can sell my house, my car, even transfer the company over to you.”

“In short, I am sincerely apologizing and trying my best to make amends with all my heart!”

Fang Qingya did not respond but was squinting, intently watching Wei Honghua.

Wei Yun was very cunning and crafty.

Like father, like son!

His son, Wei Honghua, was indeed a chip off the old block!

So damn devious.

To take out the mobile phone and cards, and to sell the stocks at will.

And he made it sound so generous, that houses, cars, and companies could be transferred…

But upon closer thought, it wasn’t hard to see the problem.

The compensation was too little!

Making money from money is how to earn it faster.

Just like flipping houses.

Buy a house, it goes up three hundred thousand in half a year, and you only earn that much.

If you can make full use of all your cash, borrow heavily to gather a down payment, and buy dozens or hundreds of houses with mortgages.

Wouldn’t that turn into a profit of tens or even hundreds of millions?

Such speculative manoeuvring is the simplest and most foolish.

Smart businessmen have many more clever methods.

So…

When Wei Honghua said his cash and stocks were worth one hundred million, he was probably telling the truth.

But clearly, he was only willing to pay one hundred million.

As for transferring houses, cars, and companies…

Please!

Those assets were definitely not his.

The houses and cars were surely mortgaged to the bank, and his company too undoubtedly owed a lot in loans.

Smart businessmen were never afraid of ‘heavy debts’.

Because they were merely investing money borrowed from banks elsewhere for profit.

To hedge against risk, they kept some funds on hand, but definitely not much.

A second-generation manager like Wei Honghua running a company was destined to be more cunning than others.

The company’s legal person was probably not even him; he might just be a minor shareholder.

As for other investments…

They were surely under other people’s names.

After all, his father, Wei Yun, held a high position and couldn’t have the label of ‘corrupt official’ attached or invite suspicion.

If there were any investigations, they wouldn’t find anything on the Wei Family.

Therefore.

Having Wei Honghua’s houses, cars, and company was worthless!

He seemed generous, full of sincerity, using all his assets for compensation.

But in reality?

Wei Honghua’s actions would certainly be enough to fool ordinary people.

Ordinary folks would surely think Wei Honghua was very sincere!

He even told them the payment passwords; he was doing his best to compensate and deserved to be forgiven.

But…

None of the people seated in the gazebo were fools.

Tang Xin and Fang Qingya, even less so, were not the type to be dazzled by money.

Wei Honghua’s little trick clearly didn’t work; instead, it made Old Mr.

Tang Pingde somewhat angry.

Bang!

A sound that was neither light nor weighty.

The old man slammed his teacup onto the stone table.

Wei Yun trembled slightly, feeling a sudden apprehension inside.

Wei Honghua’s eyebrows raised, his heart also tensing.

He knew that his wishful thinking and clever calculations could no longer be concealed.

“Throwing the mobile phone and bank cards on the table, it looks like you’re very sincere!”

Old Mr.

Tang Pingde chuckled, yet his gaze was sharp, scanning like a laser.

Wei Honghua felt guilty and subconsciously lowered his head, not daring to look directly.

“Old Mr.

Tang, if there’s anything else that dissatisfies you, please speak openly!”

Wei Yun asked carefully.

Old Mr.

Tang smiled and said, “Your son is indeed smart, but not a clever person!

Because he fails to read the room.

Even at this point, still trying to be sly and slippery, this surprises me!”

“No, Old Mr.

Tang, that’s really all I can do; I have given my all!”

Wei Honghua argued defensively.

Tang Pingde chuckled.

“I believe the assets registered in your name are indeed as limited as you say, but what about those placed under other people’s names?”

“Your houses, cars, and company are actually worthless, and to sell or transfer them, you need the bank’s approval!”

“As for the so-called stock sale…

that can only happen when the stock exchange opens tomorrow!”

“So, it would have seemed more sincere if you had just said you’d compensate with all your savings right from the start!”

“Playing games with us…

does it amuse you?”

The old man’s tone was very calm, yet every sentence struck to the heart.

Wei Honghua and his son were left speechless by the retort.

“Since paying compensation and apologizing is such a hassle, you might as well do as Jie said, and compensate by building roads!”

Tang Pingde picked up his teacup and gave Wu Jie a meaningful glance.

Wu Jie turned around, facing Wei Honghua.

“Build the road!

Weren’t you eager to construct the highway from Tongcheng to Lucheng?”

“It was right here in this gazebo that you guaranteed you had enough strength to build a top-quality project!”

“Then do a good job, build a highway that benefits the people along the way!”

Wei Honghua’s pupils constricted in an instant, and he clenched his fists tightly.

Prone to anger, he was struggling to contain his temper again.

But…

With Tang Pingde there, and his security guards as well, even Wu Jie he could not beat.

Where would Wei Honghua dare to lose his temper?

“Building a highway…” Wei Honghua laughed self-deprecatingly.

“Mr.

Wu, you really overestimate me.

My company might have the technology and the organizational capacity, but it doesn’t have the financial strength!”

“Even if I exhausted my wealth and incurred heavy debts, I couldn’t build that road, so let’s talk about something more realistic!”

After a slight pause.

Wei Honghua said, “Since you have no interest in my stocks, cars, houses, or company, and insist on a compensation of two hundred million Gold Coins!”

“I will use all my savings to pay a portion tonight, and for the rest, I’ll issue an IOU with my father as the guarantor, so naturally, I won’t default on it!”

“In any case, within a week, I will definitely gather the money to compensate the two ladies!

How about that?”

As soon as this was said.

Tang Xin and Fang Qingya found it somewhat incomprehensible.

The cunning Wei Honghua, what game was he playing?

Ever since he came in, he seemed neither overbearing nor humble, appearing very confident.

It was as if he was not here to apologize, but rather to discuss cooperation, always exuding shrewdness, giving the impression that he was in control of the situation.

Tang Pingde frowned slightly, he too seemed somewhat puzzled.

Two hundred million Gold Coins!

Previously Wei Yun had said that even selling their entire family wouldn’t amount to that much.

But now.

Wei Honghua readily agreed and even dared to sign an IOU.

There must be a demon when things are abnormal!

With Wei Honghua behaving like this, he must have an ulterior motive.

Suddenly!

Wu Jie extended his hand towards Wei Honghua and demanded coldly,

“Dare you take out your other mobile phone?

Don’t fucking tell me you don’t have one!”

“These days, even the smallest of bosses carry two phones; don’t tell me you don’t!”

Wei Honghua was taken aback, his brows furrowed, at a loss for words.

Meanwhile, Wei Yun’s expression changed dramatically at his side.

A look of surprise, completely unexpected, spread across his face.

“What are you doing standing there?

Take it out!”

The hot-tempered Tang Xin immediately yelled harshly.

Seeing this, Fang Qingya understood in an instant.

Wei Honghua’s offer to apologize and compensate was false; his real purpose, he feared, was to record the conversation.

The astronomical compensation of two hundred million Gold Coins.

Once this matter got out, with some exaggeration and incitement,

Millions of netizens would undoubtedly take his side.

They would think that Wei Honghua had done enough, had already apologized, and even offered all his wealth.

But Tang Xin, Fang Qingya, and the others were insatiable, demanding two hundred million Gold Coins.

Wasn’t this a typical case of taking advantage of a situation to rob someone?

With the recording, or even a video as proof, it would be a deadly weapon in sparking a public opinion war, an assured trump card.

By then, public opinion would be in an uproar.

Even the respected Elder Tang Pingde would not be spared from being slandered and mocked for his greed and shamelessness.

Wei Honghua’s reluctance to hand over his phone proved he indeed harbored such wild ambitions.

As for Wei Yun…

Could he dare say he was unaware?

Wu Jie’s gaze swept across sharply, thorny and piercing.

“Your son refuses to surrender his phone, what about you?

Where’s your phone?”

Wei Yun was terribly embarrassed, his lips trembling, his eyes dazed.

“I…

I…”

Wu Jie sneered, “Why are you stuttering?

Weren’t you very articulate before?”

“Both of you refuse to hand them over, huh?

Must I force a search on you?”

His voice kept raising, the tone shocking, his authority formidable.

Finally, Wei Yun couldn’t bear it anymore.

He turned his head abruptly and a smack—a vicious slap—landed across Wei Honghua’s face.

“It’s all because of your rotten idea, now it’s all come out!

I’ll kill you!!”

Wei Yun suddenly lashed out.

He not only furiously slapped his beloved son but also stood up and delivered a brutal kick.

“You’re hitting me?

But you agreed to it too!”

Wei Honghua fell to the ground, saying with a suffocated expression:

“I just wanted to record it on a phone, but you’re even crueller; you were the one who took the initiative to record!”

“All I wanted was to protect myself.

What about you?

Were you planning to use it to threaten Old Mr.

Tang in the future to help you get promoted?”

As these words were spoken, Wei Yun became completely furious.

“You little bastard, what are you babbling about!!”

Wei Yun exploded in rage, and with a forward kick, he furiously lashed out.

Thump!

Wei Honghua fell to the ground in an extremely wretched state, blood gushing from his nose.

“Enough!

What’s the use of hitting me again?

Do you dare to take out your phone?”

“Take out your grandpa!”

Wei Yun lunged forward, grabbing Wei Honghua by the collar.

Raising his fist, he bombarded him with a flurry of merciless punches.

His movements were fierce, his strength tremendous.

This sudden, violent beating shocked and angered onlookers.

Tang Xin and Fang Qingya also understood the reason, and the Old Master’s face grew even darker.

Everyone knew that if it weren’t for Wu Jie,

They might have been outwitted by this cunning father and son…
