"Brother, I know, I..."
Lin Yao's words hadn't even finished when an infuriated roar came from the other end of the phone again: "I spent decades to achieve what I have today, but now because of you, it's all ruined! Back then, when those two insisted on having you at their age, I was strongly against it. Look at you now, they pampered you like an idiot, blindly indulging you and teaching you to cause trouble everywhere. Listen well, if you can't resolve this matter properly, don't blame me for being ruthless."
After saying this, the sound of Lin Yao's mother weeping came from the other side: "What are you saying? He is your brother after all, I risked my life to give birth to him, what do you want to do??"
"Why give birth to that thing?? See for yourself, my son is a year younger than him and is currently studying at Stanford University. As for him, he feels uncomfortable if he doesn't cause trouble for a day. I'm telling you, why did we wait until now to settle the score? Wasn't it to avoid drawing attention?? This has always been the way things are handled in Huaxia. Will the people behind Mingsheng Group let me off so easily?? Lin Yao, let me tell you, if you don't handle this well, don't bother coming back."
Listening to the beeping of the phone, Lin Yao's face instantly turned pale, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably. His legs felt as if they had lost support, and with a thud, he knelt on the ground.
"Young Master Jiang, please show mercy and let me off! It's all my fault, I know I was wrong..."
At this moment, Lin Yao had fallen into extreme panic.
In just a few short days, all the investors in their family business had suddenly withdrawn their capital without any warning. The market value, which was originally as high as tens of billions, plummeted like a waterfall to just a few billion.
However, this wasn't the worst part.
What made them even more terrified was...
His brother had also encountered unexpected difficulties.
Suddenly, he received a mysterious transfer document.
It directly transferred him from the government office in the prosperous capital to an obscure little place in Su Province to take up a post.
Although he wasn't officially dismissed, this obvious demotion and transfer undoubtedly carried a strong sense of "settling scores after the fact."
With his brother's political achievements, logically, his career should have been smooth sailing and a rapid rise.
Combined with the sudden difficulties from Mingsheng Group recently, their family finally woke up as if from a dream.
This situation must be due to inadvertently offending some powerful figure.
After many inquiries, they still couldn't find the real reason.
Until they found Jiang Cheng, the eldest grandson of Jiang Chenghong who had only recently appeared.
Following the topic of Jiang Cheng, they finally discovered the whole story.
And at this moment, Lin Yao, who spent his days in leisure and luxury...
After hearing that the family's disaster was because of him, he was so shocked that he was completely stunned.
After all, quite some time had passed, and he had naively thought that this matter had long been settled and wouldn't bring him much trouble.
Moreover, the two parties belonged to different social circles.
One was the Shanghai circle, and the other was the beijing circle.
The two had nothing to do with each other, so he had long pushed this matter to the back of his mind.
Previously, it was just the withdrawal of capital. Although the funds had shrunk to a few billion, as long as the initial capital was there, his family still had room to maneuver.
And when they first found out, Lin Yao's parents were also very angry.
Although Lin Yao was the one who provoked the incident first, in their eyes, Lin Yao was the youngest child in the family! He had always been the precious darling held in the palms of the two elders!
Upon learning that Jiang Cheng had actually crashed Lin Yao's car beyond recognition, they were even more furious.
Although they knew their own strength was far inferior to that massive Mingsheng Group...
But seeing their beloved youngest son being bullied like this...
So even if the family's assets had shrunk significantly, they didn't intend to bow their heads and apologize to Jiang Cheng.
After all, several billion in wealth, as long as they cut back on expenses, would be enough for their family's spending.
It wasn't until yesterday, when his brother was transferred overnight, that their family finally panicked.
After figuring out the cause and effect of the matter, Jiang Cheng suddenly felt that everything had become dull and uninteresting.
"Don't talk nonsense, and don't go pinning labels on me. You can't blame everything on me. When you cut me off that day, it seemed like you were quite confident in your driving skills, right?"
Lin Yao was a bit bewildered by Jiang Cheng's words. He quickly shook his head and waved his hands to explain: "No, no, no, Young Master Jiang, your driving skills are the truly good ones. I'm just an idiot, I don't know how to drive, my driving skills are terrible, that's why it happened..."
Jiang Cheng walked to the front of Lin Yao's car and patted the roof of the mclaren: "You seem to like mclarens quite a bit. Your P1 last time was actually quite crash-resistant. When I hit it after skidding, it didn't even crush the front of your car. It's not bad. I just don't know how this 720s compares to the P1."
Hearing this, a complex mix of emotions welled up in Lin Yao's heart—both anger and a deep, lingering fear.
Especially after learning about the powerful background behind Jiang Cheng, his fear of Jiang Cheng grew even stronger.
Thinking back now, Lin Yao secretly felt lucky that his luck had been explosive that day.
If the car had really been a bit more fragile as Jiang Cheng said, he might not be standing here safely right now.
After all, car accidents are full of variables and uncertainties.
Not to mention that the entire passenger side had been crushed beyond recognition by Jiang Cheng's laferrari.
Could it be that Jiang Cheng had intended from the start to use the vehicle's skid to create an accident and end his life?
Thinking this way, Lin Yao suddenly felt that Jiang Cheng was indeed ruthless and decisive.
Despite this, Lin Yao could only say immediately: "Young Master Jiang, you can do whatever you want. If you want to crash this car, then crash it. I won't say a single word of protest."
Jiang Cheng shook his head: "Do you really think I'm a sucker who just crashes into any car?? Didn't you say your driving skills are terrible?? The track is wide today and there's no one here. I believe it's enough for you to show off. By the way, on such a wide track, don't go performing a self-crash for me, okay?"
