Chapter 384: Even Jesus Can’t Save Him
by xennovel“Mr. Huang, you… you’re a big shot. Don’t fool us uneducated folks.”
Lei Laohu was visibly uneasy, like an ant on a hot pan.
But he was very clear that he couldn’t release Huang Wenqiang, as that was their last hope for survival.
“Then let me take a step back. Let me send a text to say I’m safe. You can watch me. I won’t reveal the location. Besides, I don’t even know where I am.”
Huang Wenqiang compromised, knowing his earlier idea was impossible. This was his real goal.
Lei Laohu hesitated, and Huang Wenqiang added fuel to the fire: “Think about it. If my dad knows I’m safe, won’t that ease your pressure?”
“Okay, Mr. Huang, I trust you. But don’t lie to me. If you do, I’ve got nothing to lose.”
Biting his teeth, Lei Laohu returned Huang Wenqiang’s phone and personally watched him send the message.
Huang Wenqiang did nothing rash and only sent two messages.
One to Tang Siyu and one to his father.
Besides saying he was safe, he revealed that Si Mingfei was the mastermind, while also putting in a good word for Lei Laohu and his crew.
This was to calm Lei Laohu.
Once free, he planned to send them all to jail, reopen old cases, and have them executed.
Damn, they dared kidnap him. Reckless fools.
Of course, Lei Laohu was unaware. Seeing Huang Wenqiang defend him, he felt a bit guilty.
It was all Si Mingfei’s terrible idea that led to this.
When he had this thought, Huang Wenqiang’s plan succeeded.
………
City area.
Xu Shaochen learned from Tang Siyu that Si Mingfei was the mastermind.
Huang Wenqiang’s father was in a bind. He had no proof that the text was sent by Huang himself, nor evidence against Si Mingfei.
He couldn’t break the rules due to his status; he needed evidence.
Xu Shaochen, however, wasn’t so restrained. He used Xu Corporation’s domestic power to crush the Si Family.
The Si Family was in entertainment, an easy industry to pressure.
After issuing orders, Xu Shaochen headed to the Si Family with Long Yi and Long Er.
…………………
Si Family.
The atmosphere was terribly oppressive.
Si Nancheng sat on the sofa with a dour look, eyebrows furrowed in worry.
He received calls from several companies he owned, all facing various pressures.
Numerous partners withdrew, contracts were torn, and scandals about their artists and executives surfaced.
Even he was accused of tax evasion, and it was spreading online.
The Si Family’s business would collapse at this rate.
All the pressure pointed to Xu Corporation.
But Si Nancheng didn’t understand why Xu Shaochen was doing this.
Was it because of Mei Liangying? But they had already backed down. “Ungrateful son! Did you cause trouble again?”
Thinking about it, he could only suspect his beloved son.
“Dad, I’ve been home these days. Without your order, I haven’t stepped out. It’s not me!”
Si Mingfei shivered with dread, instinctively denying culpability.
With everything so blown up, he dared not admit masterminding the kidnapping.
“Don’t blame our son for everything. He’s been well-behaved. He couldn’t have caused this.” Mrs. Si defended her son.
“Boss, Xu Shaochen is here.”
At that moment, a bodyguard announced.
“Invite him in.”
Si Nancheng’s face changed, knowing Xu Shaochen was here to confront him.
He wanted to understand Xu Shaochen’s motives to deal with the situation.
Hearing Xu Shaochen’s name, Si Mingfei started sweating, his fists clenching tight.
“Tap-tap-tap…”
Xu Shaochen walked in with a stern face, his steps firm.
“Mr. Xu, our Si Family has no grudge against yours. Why are you wiping us out?”
Si Nancheng asked bluntly; there was no time for pleasantries.
“Chairman Si, you should ask your wonderful son. It’s all his doing — the chaos outside Songshan.”
Xu Shaochen laughed coldly, glancing at Si Mingfei before speaking to Si Nancheng.
“Xu Shaochen! Stop slandering me! I’ve been inside for days. How can I be involved?”
Si Mingfei stood up in reflex denial, his heart in chaos.
Si Nancheng frowned: “Mr. Xu, my son may be unrefined, but he couldn’t orchestrate such a mess.”
Xu Shaochen scoffed: “Chairman Si, you underestimate your son. He plotted to kidnap me but nabbed Huang Wenqiang instead. Even Songshan’s top officials know. Do you still believe he’s innocent?”
Boom! As Xu Shaochen finished, Si Nancheng was as if struck by lightning, collapsing onto the sofa, pale.
“Dad! Save me, Dad! I was foolish, Dad.”
Si Mingfei, knowing he was exposed, crawled to his father, crying for mercy.
“Bang!”
Si Nancheng kicked him aside, eyes red with anger: “You ungrateful son!”
He couldn’t believe his son had caused such upheaval despite being confined.
“Dad, save me! I’m your only son!”
Si Nancheng still wailing, shuffled to Xu Shaochen, clutching his leg.
“Mr. Xu, please, spare me. I don’t want jail. I was wrong.”
“Bang!”
Xu Shaochen kicked him away, smirking coldly: “Jail? Think about surviving in there.”
“Mr. Xu…” Si Nancheng turned pale. He could accept Si Mingfei going to jail, but Xu Shaochen clearly wanted him dead there.
“No more nonsense. I’m here to inform you. Si Mingfei is doomed. Even Jesus can’t save him. I said it!”
With that, Xu Shaochen sneered, leaving with Long Yi and Long Er without looking back.
