Chapter 1097: I Am the Old Doctor

“Fine! You have guts. Let me tell you, if anything happens to me, my dad will never let you go!”

Wang Sheng’s eyes were bloodshot as he spoke through gritted teeth. Although he was clearly cowardly, he continued to talk tough.

After all, he had to maintain his young master Wang demeanor. How could he bow his head and beg for mercy?

“I really don’t believe it. I want to see what your dad can do to me. I can’t help it; I’m just very curious.”

Xu Shaochen looked dismissively at such childish threats of bringing a parent into the matter. He turned to Long Yi and said, “Take Young Master Wang down for a rest. Treat him like you would feed a dog.”

“Xu Shaochen, you’re going too far!”

Hearing these words, Wang Sheng was instantly furious. Treating him like a dog? Outrageous!

“Smack!”

Xu Shaochen rewarded him with a fatherly slap on the face. “Yes, I’m bullying you. What can you do about it? If you can’t do anything, then shut your mouth.”

If looks could kill, Xu Shaochen would have been murdered a hundred times over.

Unfortunately, looks cannot kill.

So Wang Sheng could only seethe impotently and curse Xu Shaochen in his heart.

“Don’t! Xu Shaochen, we can talk. We can still negotiate. As long as you let me go, I can give you anything you want.”

As he was about to be dragged away, Wang Sheng finally admitted defeat, struggling and shouting.

“But I don’t want to talk to you. I want to talk to your father, and you are the bridge between us.”

Xu Shaochen spoke with a smile, reaching out and patting his face heavily.

Wang Sheng struggled as he was dragged away.

Xu Shaochen used Wang Sheng’s phone to find his father’s number and then called it.

“Beep beep beep.”

“When will you be back?”

After a busy tone, a calm male voice came from the phone.

“How soon I return depends on your attitude.”

Xu Shaochen spoke leisurely.

“…………”

There was a moment of silence on the other end, then he spoke again, “Who are you?”

“You don’t even know who I am? Am I that insignificant? Mr. Wang, my surname is Xu. Does that ring a bell?”

Xu Shaochen felt a little dissatisfied. He felt his own status was being belittled.

“Is my son with you? Release him; we can talk about anything. Otherwise, there’s no need to talk. He’s not my only son…”

Without saying a word, Xu Shaochen hung up the phone, casually throwing the phone on the sofa. He turned to Li Qianya and said, “Let’s go to sleep.”

He just didn’t like indulging these old show-offs.

At his age, he still had to pretend. Couldn’t he just be a little more practical?

The two went upstairs, the lights in the living room turned off, and it was instantly dark.

Wang Sheng’s phone kept ringing on the sofa throughout most of the night.

However, Xu Shaochen slept upstairs, ignoring it completely.

…………

The next morning.

Xu Shaochen went downstairs, picked up the phone, and saw more than twenty missed calls, all from Wang Sheng’s father.

Xu Shaochen chuckled and called back.

“What are you doing so early? Have breakfast.”

Song Xinran looked at Xu Shaochen and called out.

“You guys eat first. I need to make a call.”

Xu Shaochen replied without turning his head.

“Xu Shaochen, tell me what it will take for you to release my son.”

After a night had passed, Wang Lan’s voice was already hoarse. One can imagine the torment he endured last night.

After all, the trip to Paradise Island had been a huge loss, and with his son captured, this wasn’t Wang Kun, the illegitimate son, but his legitimate son.

“What? Not pretending anymore? Didn’t you say you have plenty of sons? More than just this one, right? Why are you in such a hurry then?”

“Don’t worry, I’m not a good person. As long as your son is here, he’ll certainly enjoy my hospitality.”

Xu Shaochen spoke casually. He was indeed the old doctor, specializing in these old pretentious types.

“Name your conditions.”

Wang Lan held back his anger, his heart wishing he could tear Xu Shaochen to pieces.

“Alright, old man, don’t be in such a hurry. At your age, learn to manage your temper. What if you die from anger one day? What then?”

Xu Shaochen taunted a bit, then quickly interrupted, “The condition is simple. I want money. After fighting with you guys twice, I wasted a lot of money. Consider it compensation after the battle.”

“Want money?” Wang Lan was somewhat incredulous. He didn’t expect Xu Shaochen’s condition to be asking for money.

“Hah.” Xu Shaochen sneered, “What else? If I told you not to oppose me anymore, would you listen?”

When making demands, there must be a limit. It must not exceed the bottom line of the other party, otherwise, Wang Lan might really abandon this son.

In that case, what use was Wang Sheng remaining in his hands? Wouldn’t it be a waste of food?

Wang Lan was silent for a moment, then said, “Name a number.”

Xu Shaochen was right. At this point, he couldn’t give up on the fight for the Genetic Serum.

“For you at Tianqing, 50 billion shouldn’t be hard, right?”

Xu Shaochen spoke lightly.

“Are you crazy? I know your Xu Corporation is rich, but don’t you think 50 billion is a small amount?”

Wang Lan’s voice rose several decibels instantaneously. Fifty billion isn’t a small sum for any company.

Many small countries don’t even have a GDP of 50 billion in a year.

“If it were a small amount, would I need to ask you for it?”

Xu Shaochen retorted, then without waiting for him to answer, said, “Alright, you’ve already delayed my breakfast. Consider it and then respond.”

“Fine, I’ll give it.”

As Xu Shaochen was about to hang up, Wang Lan squeezed out three words through clenched teeth.

After saying that, he added, “But it’ll take time. Otherwise, I can’t gather such a sum quickly.”

Tianqing is not his alone.

He couldn’t come up with such an amount alone. He needed time to borrow and persuade other Tianqing members to allow him to use company funds.

“Two days. Money arrives, and the person will be released.”

Xu Shaochen gave a timeframe, speaking before the other could reply, then immediately hung up and turned off the phone.

Xu Shaochen suddenly realized he had forgotten a line, lacking the momentum of a kidnapper.

Thinking of this, he turned on the phone again and called Wang Lan.

“Hello, I…”

Wang Lan quickly and eagerly answered the call.

“Don’t play tricks, or I’ll tear him apart.”

Xu Shaochen completed the last line, then hung up and turned off the phone again.

Wang Lan: “…………”

At this moment, he felt a thousand wild horses trampling over his soul.

If possible, he wanted to reach through the network and strangle Xu Shaochen.

But Xu Shaochen didn’t care about Wang Lan’s devastated mood, as he happily enjoyed breakfast surrounded by beauties.
