Hearing Jiang Cheng say those words, Lin Yao couldn't help but feel a surge of anger, but even more so, a sense of shame.
He felt that Jiang Cheng was deliberately using words to insult him.
However, Lin Yao didn't dare to show it directly at this moment.
He no longer dared to confront Jiang Cheng, fearing that he would provoke the other party and bring even greater trouble to himself and his family.
Lin Yao swallowed his pride, lowered his posture, and humbly said to Jiang Cheng again, "Young Master Jiang, please be the bigger person and forgive me. I was a complete idiot that day, a fool to do such a stupid thing. You can vent whatever resentment you have on me, I just beg you to show mercy and let my family go."
Lin Yao's words left Jiang Cheng somewhat confused.
He had always been someone who distinguished clearly between gratitude and grudges, and always repaid his debts.
Regarding the accident back then, Jiang Cheng hadn't taken it to heart much.
After all, when Lin Yao had deliberately cut off his car, Jiang Cheng had stepped on the gas and crashed directly into him without hesitation.
Though it was a pity that the hardness of the mclaren P1's chassis exceeded Jiang Cheng's expectations.
Except for the severe damage to the passenger side, the driver's seat where Lin Yao was sitting was very lucky, and he didn't suffer any injuries.
After handling the matter, Lin Yao had vanished without a trace, as if he had evaporated from the face of the earth.
And that crashed Ferrari was handled properly with the help of Zhu Yan and the others.
If Lin Yao hadn't suddenly appeared before him now, Jiang Cheng would have almost forgotten this person existed.
As for Lin Yao's plea to let his family go, that left Jiang Cheng even more bewildered.
Because he didn't remember giving the Security Team any such instructions.
At this moment, Jiang Cheng was completely in the dark, having no idea what he was talking about.
Seeing Jiang Cheng staring at him with a grim expression, Lin Yao's heart grew increasingly frantic.
At this moment, he mistakenly thought that Jiang Cheng was unhappy with his request.
That was why his expression had become so unsightly.
Lin Yao spoke tremblingly, "Young Master Jiang, please give me a clear instruction. What exactly will it take for you to stop being angry? Our family really can't withstand this kind of torture. I beg you to show mercy and let us go! How about... I kneel down and apologize to you right now, would that work?"
Lin Yao's sudden outburst immediately attracted the attention of others in the stands.
They all began to gather around.
Most of these people were old members of the SCC, and many had witnessed what happened that day with their own eyes.
The story of Lin Yao crashing the party and his subsequent humiliation by Jiang Cheng had long since spread like wildfire through the circle of Second-generation rich kids in Magic City.
Seeing Lin Yao now, like a defeated rooster, dejectedly running to Jiang Cheng to bow and admit his guilt, the surrounding Second-generation rich couldn't help but whisper among themselves.
"Isn't that Lin Yao, the one who drives the mclaren P1? Why is he here?"
"I heard his older brother is quite young and works at the Kyoto Civil Affairs Bureau, and his position seems quite high."
"If he has a background, why is he apologizing to Jiang Cheng? Just what is Jiang Cheng's identity?"
"You don't know? I only heard that he's the eldest grandson of the Mingsheng Group."
"Isn't Mingsheng Group just Jiang Chenhong? Although he's rich and powerful, I've never heard of any government background."
...Jiang Cheng said with a smile, "There's no need to kneel. However, I'm just curious. Back then, you vowed not to let me off, so why have you come before me today to put on this show? I really don't understand. Can you explain it to me?"
Seeing that the people around were all looking at him as if watching a play.
Lin Yao thought Jiang Cheng simply wanted to embarrass him in front of everyone and humiliate him publicly.
He took a helpless deep breath and said, "Young Master Jiang, after the car was hit by you that day, I felt I had lost face, so I immediately went back to Kyoto. I did find someone to investigate you, but I swear, it was just out of curiosity. Finding someone to investigate you was purely for my own peace of mind."
Lin Yao changed the subject and continued from where he left off, "Later, when I heard that Huang Qing was arrested for drug use, I felt even more disgusted. The people I hate most are those involved with drugs, gambling, or prostitution. So, when I found out he was arrested, I truly breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, the events of that day were also inseparable from Huang Qing..."
Looking at the eloquent Lin Yao incessantly badmouthing Huang Qing, Jiang Cheng's expression instantly became extremely grim.
One must know that although Huang Qing had initially chosen to confront Jiang Cheng due to pressure from Lin Yao's side.
But from beginning to end, he had never bowed his head or admitted defeat to Jiang Cheng even once.
Even though he was now in jail, Jiang Cheng could still respect him as a man.
In contrast, when this happened, Lin Yao had hidden himself away, and now he was pushing everything onto Huang Qing.
Seeing Jiang Cheng frowning and looking at him with displeasure, Lin Yao said anxiously, "Young Master Jiang, I beg you. It was all that fellow Huang Qing who deluded me. But after I went back, I really reflected on myself. This past month, I haven't even stepped out of my house. I haven't done anything. It wasn't until these past few days that Mingsheng Group suddenly launched a crackdown on my family's company."
When he heard the words "Mingsheng Group," Jiang Cheng understood instantly.
He immediately realized that all of this was the work of his mysterious Second Grandfather.
Jiang Cheng's hand instinctively reached for the phone in his pocket.
Actually, last time Jiang Cheng had mentioned to his father that he wanted to go to Kyoto, but at that time Jiang Jianming said he wasn't ready yet and told Jiang Cheng to wait a while.
And now Jiang Cheng understood what his father meant by telling him to wait.
His father didn't want to expose their identity.
From this, he could also tell that his grandfather's position must be extraordinary.
The higher the position, the more mysterious the family's movements must be.
Setting aside foreign powers, the internal struggle between the two factions in Huaxia alone was full of undercurrents.
Moreover, regarding Mingsheng Group, Jiang Cheng had also conducted a private investigation.
However, even with professional forces like the Security Team, the information found was very scarce.
After all, those events were from a long time ago, and according to Wang Sheng, digging deeper would lead to being discovered by those at the top.
So Jiang Cheng had stopped the investigation.
Seeing Jiang Cheng remain silent after taking out his phone, Lin Yao's heart grew even more panicked.
"Young Master Jiang, I beg you to show mercy and let me go! As long as you can be lenient, I will do anything, even being your slave! My brother worked so hard to get to his current position and now he's being demoted. He definitely won't let me off. I'm begging you, please be magnanimous and forgive me this time!"
Just as Lin Yao was wailing, an abrupt phone ring suddenly sounded.
Lin Yao, with a pale face, took out his phone and saw that the caller ID was indeed his brother.
He answered the call without hesitation.
"Hello, Brother." Lin Yao's voice carried obvious trembling and fear.
A stern questioning voice came from the other end: "How is the matter being handled? The transfer order has already come down, and I must leave tonight. If I really leave, you should know very well what state our family will fall into, right? We might even fall directly to the bottom of society!"
