“As long as you can pull me off the altar, I’ll admit defeat. You said that to me, right? The winner takes all. Just stay in prison and wait patiently.”
At that time, Lu Yaohua said this condescendingly, completely throwing Zhang Wenfang and Lu Ming into the bottomless abyss. Now, the positions of the two sides were reversed! Lu Yaohua was stunned at first, then he cried bitterly and said, “I know I was wrong! Little Ming, you also want to have a complete family, right? I’ll treat you well. I don’t want to die in prison!”
Putting aside the fact that he was already a little old, just as Lu Ming had said, he had no one to rely on now, and the Tang family would not care about a useless chess piece like him. The only person he could call for help was Lu Ming, the only person in the world who was related to him by blood. He had to seize this opportunity!
Otherwise…
He did not dare to imagine the days to come. Although the people locked up here were all commercial criminals, the environment was really too bad. In the middle of the night, he heard the squeaking of rats. The iron bed, which had long rusted more than half, swayed when touched. He did not dare to exert much weight. Moreover, there was very little meat in the three meals a day. They said that he could raise his issues with them.
However, no matter how many times he said it, there was no improvement. He was a prisoner and could not do anything! He had had enough of this life. He wanted to escape from the prison! With the relationship between Lu Ming Corporation and the officials, wouldn’t it be easy for them to get anyone? This made him even more determined to cozy up to Lu Ming!
Lu Ming scoffed at this. On the other end of the video call, he waved the red wine in his hand and said leisurely, “Lu Yaohua, I did look forward to when you would change your mind, but it’s too late now. I have my godfather, mother-in-law, and wife by my side. You have to spend your entire life making up for your mistakes! There’s no medicine for regret in this world.”
These words were like a huge rock pressing down on Lu Yaohua. He opened his mouth slowly, not knowing what to say. Didn’t he already know his mistake? Who wouldn’t make mistakes in life? He at least understood that he had turned back, but why didn’t the other party give him a chance?
Immediately, a nameless anger rose in his heart!
He had already lowered his stance so much, so why didn’t this person waver at all? He held the phone tightly, his facial features distorted like a demon!
He lowered his voice and gritted his teeth. “Lu Ming! Do you know how much I paid to see you?! I took out all my savings! How can you just watch me suffer? Is your heart cold?!”
Lu Ming said with a faint smile, “Why can’t I? When I think of what you did in the past, I wish I could kill you with my own hands. I’m afraid you’ve already forgotten about it, right? I once took out all my money. Oh, although it’s not worth mentioning in your eyes, I saved that 205 yuan just to buy a day of my Father’s time.
“Then what did you do? You tore up those banknotes on the spot and even scolded me. Now, it seems that it’s really ridiculous! Do you still want to play the emotional card with me? It’s already good enough that I send someone to see you. You have to know that my time is very precious. Many company bosses want to see me but don’t have the chance.
“Just chatting with you is a waste of my money.”
Just as Lu Yaohua was about to criticize him for being snobbish, Zhou Feng cut him off bluntly. “The representative of Ford Corporation overseas booked a meeting time at 7:15 PM. Immediately after that, BMW, Nvidia, and so on. Every company is worth tens of billions, and they are begging Lu Ming Corporation to collaborate.”
Immediately after, he put on a business smile and mocked, “So as long as Boss wants it, we can cooperate successfully. Mr. Lu, you’ve already wasted at least hundreds of millions of dollars.”
Hundreds of millions of dollars?!
These words exploded in Lu Yaohua’s mind! When did his eldest son become so powerful? All the companies that Zhou Feng mentioned just now were famous! And they were all collaborations that he couldn’t even beg for in the past! His initial dissatisfaction was immediately suppressed. He smiled awkwardly and said, “How, how would I know? Little Ming, you don’t seem to be in the country, right?
“It must be too late for you to come back. That’s why you asked someone else to come. I understand.”
However, Lu Ming did not follow his lead at all. “If I really wanted to see you, I would have flown back even if I had to take a plane overnight. It’s obvious that your position in my heart is no longer important. I would rather enjoy myself overseas than look at you because you’re trash in my eyes.”
His light tone made Lu Yaohua’s temples throb! I can’t be angry, I can’t be angry! He was still counting on Lu Ming to get him out! Thinking of this, he took a deep breath and said obsequiously, “I understand that I’m no longer important to you, but without me, where did you come from? Seeing that my blood is flowing in your body, let me out, okay?”
Zhou Feng felt that his horizons had been broadened just seeing how thick-skinned Lu Yaohua was! How could this person be so shameless? Previously, he couldn’t wait for Boss to die. When he saw that Boss had risen, he changed his attitude. No wonder he could stay in the Tang family for so many years. No one else has this mentality.
On the other side, the red wine in Lu Ming’s mouth immediately lost its fragrance. He put down the glass in disgust and said, “Lu Yaohua, you’re so disgusting! Don’t flatter yourself. Those who don’t know might think that you gave birth to me after being pregnant for 10 months! You just gave me some inferior sperm.”
In the next second, he cast his gaze at the calm sea not far away. This was a good place. It was very scenic here, and there were few people. After settling the matters on Justice Island, he would return to the country and bring his family back here to have fun.
Seeing that the person on the other end of the video call was distracted, Lu Yaohua panicked! He only had so little time left. If he could not achieve his goal in a short period of time, he would be facing a bottomless abyss next! He said in a panic, “Little Ming, I beg you. I’ll give you anything you want. Release me from prison first!”
“Do you think you have any further use for me?”
Lu Ming said disdainfully, “All I want is for you to die! Of course, you can’t die quickly. You have to pay back double the torture my mother suffered back then because your body can’t last much longer. I have to let you feel the pain my mother suffered in the past in the limited time.
“By the way, why don’t you guess why the prison doctor isn’t willing to give you medicine? Even painkillers?”
