Chapter 258: Chapter 258: Rupture and Alienation

All the way, pigs might fly, Yuan Cheng fiercely stomped on the accelerator, venting all his anger, humiliation, and resentment. For the first time in his life, he had been oppressed so brutally, which was unbearable to him, who had always been proud and haughty.

"No matter who you are, no matter how strong you are, you can’t treat me like this." Yuan Cheng was very angry, this rage completely washed away his fear of the big boss.

When Yuan Zhenggang and Liu Zhendong anxiously waited, they saw Yuan Cheng striding back angrily, so they hurriedly approached and asked: "What happened? What did the big boss say? You were too impulsive. You should have discussed it with us before going, or we could have intervened."

Yuan Cheng did not speak, trying to keep his anger as low as possible, standing in front of a row of shelves, looking at the ornaments, taking deep breaths again and again, as if suppressing his anger.

It was clear that Yuan Cheng was greatly humiliated, making it uncomfortable for the two elders to ask further. They were worried that Yuan Cheng’s impulsivity would cause a fallout with the big boss.

Suddenly, Yuan Cheng exploded, throwing everything from the shelves clean, smashing this, then that, not caring about any valuable porcelain, venting all his resentment.

Yuan Zhenggang and Liu Zhendong did not say much, they just silently stood by and watched Yuan Cheng angrily let off steam, waiting for Yuan Cheng to calm down then reveal everything.

After venting his rage, Yuan Cheng finally calmed down, looking at the messy surroundings that he smashed, he closed his eyes, sighed towards heaven, and self-mockingly laughed after a long while: "Father, I want to ask, even though you hold a high position, are you nothing in the eyes of the big boss?"

When they heard these words, Yuan Zhenggang and Liu Zhendong looked at each other, each seeing the bitterness in the other’s eyes.

Yuan Cheng recounted the dispute with the big boss, making Yuan Zhenggang and Liu Zhendong shudder in fear. They silently felt relieved that Yuan Cheng survived despite being so offensive to the big boss.

As for this, Yuan Cheng didn’t care: "The most important thing now is to protect Liu Yao. The big boss has admitted that it was him who sent people to attack Liu Yao, and the people above are also looking for Liu Yao. Liu Yao is in danger if this continues."

Listening to his words, Yuan Zhenggang and Liu Zhendong could not help sighing helplessly, their faces dull. Because, just as the big boss said, Liu Yao’s existence threatened the whole organization, threatened so many people, so the fate of Liu Yao is not something that Yuan Zhenggang and Liu Zhendong could decide.

"Are we just going to watch Liu Yao in danger? We can do nothing? I can’t accept this, I just can’t." Yuan Cheng was filled with resentment, his mood also stirred Yuan Zhenggang.

There was a deathly silence, the atmosphere was heavy. All three of them were desperately trying to find a way to save Liu Yao, but they couldn’t think of any good ways. They just realized how helpless they were despite their past arrogance.

"There’s no other way, we can only take this step." Yuan Zhenggang sighed bitterly, then glanced at Liu Zhendong, and then at Yuan Cheng.

Seeming to sense something, Yuan Cheng was a bit worried: "Dad, you’re not thinking of..."

To this, Yuan Zhenggang bitterly smiled and shook his head: "I’ve thought it through. Rather than being controlled by others for a lifetime, living in constant fear and not even being able to protect my own children, it’s better to give it a shot."

Listening to this, Liu Zhendong hesitated, "Old friend, is your intention..."

"I’ve thought about it again and again, only this way can protect Liu Yao, protect Yuan Cheng, protect all our children." Yuan Zhenggang gritted his teeth, as if making a determined decision: "Since the people above have set their sights on us, it’s only a matter of time before we are found out. So, it’s better to confess and try to annihilate the entire organization. With this, Yuan Cheng wouldn’t need to be involved and Liu Yao could be safe."

After Liu Zhendong considered it, he nodded happily, "That’s right, while Yuan Cheng hasn’t been completely involved, we still have a chance. Anyway, we are almost sixty, we’ve experienced a lot, we’ve had our share of glory and enjoyment, living a few more or less years doesn’t matter much. But you young people still have a future."

"Dad, you two..." Yuan Cheng was perplexed deep inside, feeling all sorts of emotions. He didn’t want the two elders to sacrifice themselves like this, but he hoped even less for something to happen to Liu Yao. But thinking about it, there didn’t seem to be a better solution.

Seeing Yuan Cheng’s hesitation, Liu Zhendong comforted him, "Don’t be upset. Remember that it’s us who failed to be good elders, dragging you two young people into this. We are the useless ones, it’s our responsibility. Don’t feel any psychological burden, just promise me one thing, take good care of Liu Yao."

"I will." Yuan Cheng nodded.

"Regretting at this point is too late, is really ironic for us." Yuan Zhenggang bitterly laughed again, then turned to Liu Zhendong and said, "Since we’ve decided, let’s strive forward, let’s think well how to handle the situation without causing further trouble for our children."

To this, Liu Zhendong also nodded, "Yes, either don’t do it, or do it thoroughly."

"There’s one more thing, I heard that you and Luo Jingrong have history and used to live together when you were young." Yuan Zhenggang suddenly asked, making Liu Zhendong surprised, but Liu Zhendong still nodded, "That’s right, we lived together when we were kids, but his family moved away very early, so we lost contact a long time ago."

"I have something to give Luo Jingrong, if you could mention me to him. Our family has some history with Luo Jingrong as well." When Yuan Zhenggang finished with a meaningful smile, Liu Zhendong was somewhat puzzled.

Of course, Yuan Cheng knew what was going to be handed over to Luo Jingrong, couldn’t help but interject, "Dad, are you really deciding to do this?"

You could see Yuan Zhenggang sigh, "There’s no other choice. Maybe that thing could divert the big boss’ attention, making him focus on Luo Jingrong, and thus giving us a chance."

"I see." Yuan Cheng had thoughts and then agreed, deciding to proceed.

Liu Zhendong added, "I can’t contact Luo Jingrong right now, but speaking of history, the man named Gu Fan also has some history with Luo Jingrong. You have something that Gu Fan can deliver."

Listening to this, Yuan Cheng was a bit puzzled, "Gu Fan? He once saved Luo Jingrong, I know this. Is this what you call ’history’?"

Liu Zhendong shook his head, "It’s not that simple. In addition to Luo Jingrong, I also have history with Gu Fan. We’ll talk about the details later, you should go on with your work now, because we also have to start preparing."

"Alright!" Yuan Cheng said as he left the room, wondering how Gu Fan was related to Luo Jingrong and was also linked to Liu Zhendong. This guy seemed quite ordinary, but he was becoming increasingly enigmatic.

When Yuan Cheng walked out of the room and closed the door, he saw the somber expressions on the faces of the two elders. Knowing the sacrifice the two elders were about to make, Yuan Cheng felt a twinge of pain in his heart.
