44 Cruel World

“Son, why don’t we just let this matter rest?” Chen Li was a little tempted after hearing what Zhou Wenwu said. What she cared about was not money, but Li Chengqian’s safety.

Chen Li was just an ordinary person. She was especially worried that if they really became enemies with Liu Wendao, he would take revenge on Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian frowned and didn’t say anything.

When Zhou Wenwu saw this situation, he felt that as long as he kept up the pressure, he would be able to make Li Chengqian submit.

“Young man, Liu Daqiang has been taught a good lesson this time. He won’t dare to find trouble with you again after he is released.”

“Please let him off on account of his young age and insensibility.”

“He’s so young. His life will really be ruined if he gets incarcerated.”

“Also, you know Liu Wendao’s personality. You can’t afford to offend him. The consequences will be terrible.”

“If you really offended him, not only will he take revenge on you, but he will also take revenge on your parents.”

“You can’t put your own family at risk just because of your impulsiveness.” Everything Zhou Wenwu said sounded as if he was thinking for Li Chengqian.

In actual fact, there was a veiled threat in every sentence.

Initially, when Chen Li said ‘forget it’, Li Chengqian’s determination had already begun to waver.

However, Zhou Wenwu’s attitude was very arrogant. He kept issuing threats, especially when he used Li Chengqian’s parents to threaten him.

Li Chengqian’s eyes turned completely cold. His voice was steely. “I’ll say it again. I’m not reconciling, and I’m not signing!”

“If you want me to sign it, sure. Make Liu Wendao kneel in front of me and beg me!”

Zhou Wenwu was stunned, and Li Chengqian continued.

“Also, the thing I can’t stand the most is threats!”

“Especially using my parents to threaten me. Whoever dares to touch my parents, I’ll take his life!” Li Chengqian was like a ferocious beast. That ferocious aura made Zhou Wenwu hold his breath.

Zhou Wenwu’s threat reminded Li Chengqian of his life after his parents’ car accident in his previous life. Fury surged in his heart.

Li Chengqian suddenly took a step forward and grabbed Zhou Wenwu’s collar. Amidst Zhou Wenwu’s terrified cries, he lifted Zhou Wenwu up as if he was a chicken.

“Whoever dares to touch my parents, I’ll take his life. I’ll send him to his death!” Li Chengqian sounded maniacal.

“I…” Zhou Wenwu had never seen such a scene in his life. He was so frightened by Li Chengqian’s fierce aura that he trembled and couldn’t say a complete sentence.

“Son, what’s wrong?! Don’t hit him. Put him down now.” Chen Li was extremely anxious and hurriedly ran over to pull Li Chengqian.

“Remember my words! Then get lost!” Hearing Chen Li’s voice, the rage in Li Chengqian’s heart subsided and he sobered up. He put him down and pointed at the stairwell with a cold expression. Zhou Wenwu was so terrified that his face was pale.

Zhou Wenwu’s entire body trembled, and his face was filled with fear and unease. He jumped up like a rabbit and quickly rushed into the stairwell before disappearing. “Is this little bastard crazy?! Such a minor matter and he is ranting murder.”

“I’d better let Liu Wendao handle this matter himself.” Zhou Wenwu was really frightened.

“Son, why did you suddenly…” Chen Li pulled Li Chengqian into the house and closed the door, her face filled with worry.

Seeing that Li Chengqian kept silent, she continued, “Son, look at the big picture, this is for our good too. There’s no need for us to go head on with Liu Wendao. We’re an ordinary family, we can’t afford to offend him.”

“Let them threaten us. It’s not as if they can really hurt us.”

“Liu Wendao and the others are wealthy. Let’s stay away from them and not provoke them.”

Actually, Chen Li was afraid that Li Chengqian would be at the losing end.

“Mom, you don’t have to worry. I know what I’m doing.” Li Chengqian sat in front of the computer again and began coding. He needed to speed up and optimize Divine Dragon.

Li Chengqian was not worried about his own safety at all. With his current strength, assuming there was no usage of firearms, no one in this world should be his match.

But Li Chengqian’s parents were ordinary people! This was what Li Chengqian was most worried about.

“I have to speed up and write the software. After I earn money, I’ll shift my parents to a safe place to live.” Li Chengqian thought to himself.

Chen Li was still especially worried about Li Chengqian, but she didn’t say anything. “When Li Tianlan comes back tonight, I have to discuss with him what to do.”

“We have to think of a way. We can’t let others hurt our son.” Chen Li thought worriedly.

…

In the president’s office of the Square Group, Zhou Wenwu returned in a sorry state with a trace of fear in his eyes.

“President Liu, I went to look for Li Chengqian and was almost beaten up by him,” Zhou Wenwu said with a bitter expression.

“He was not agreeable to sign a letter of understanding at all.

“I did my part. His mother, Chen Li, was agreeable initially. But Li Chengqian went crazy for some reason and suddenly got very angry. He firmly refused to sign the letter of understanding.” A lawyer’s forte was his glib tongue. To lawyers without professional ethics, distorting the truth was a most basic tactic.

“Did you say anything about the money?” Liu Wendao was furious, but he wasn’t a fool. He suppressed his anger and asked.

“I also mentioned the money! I was afraid that his family would demand an exorbitant price, so I started by offering 10,000 yuan…” Zhou Wenming saw Liu Wendao’s face turn black and quickly continued, “I was prepared to up the offer.

“But Li Chengqian suddenly went crazy. He didn’t give me a chance to better the offer at all and attacked me.”

Looking at Liu Wendao’s furious gaze, Zhou Wentao changed the topic and said the most crucial sentence.

“Li Chengqian also said that a letter of understanding is possible, on the condition that you…”

The anger in Liu Wendao’s eyes subsided greatly. “Go on, what is the condition?”

“He said on condition that you get down on your knees and beg him!”

When Liu Wendao heard this, he flew into a rage. “This little bastard! Does he have a death wish?!”

“F*ck him, he’s really asking for it!”

“He really thinks I can’t deal with him, doesn’t he?” Liu Wendao gritted his teeth in anger.

Li Chengqian wanted him to kneel down and beg for mercy. To him, this was a huge insult.

“I’m really going to show this little bastard what my methods are, what I am capable of! He will learn what regret means!” Liu Wendao took a deep breath. He took out his phone and found the number for the President Liang of An’ning Construction Supplies Company.

“Li Chengqian, you brat, you don’t know how difficult life is, but your parents do.”

“I’ll get President Liang to work on your parents.”

“If you’re willing to sign it, I’ll still reward you with 100,000 yuan. Take it as alms for a beggar and a dog.”

“If you’re still unwilling, I’ll get President Liang to fire your parents. First, your parents will lose their jobs and your family won’t have a source of income.” It was fine to ask for money. As long as Liu Wendao was happy, he would give it like it was a treat for a dog like Li Chengqian.

But Li Chengqian was just an ordinary person. It was a joke to ask him to cower to Li Chengqian.

“Little bastard, if you still dare to reject me this time, I’ll show you how cruel this world is.” A hint of ruthlessness flashed across Liu Wendao’s eyes. As long as he was willing to pay, there would be people willing to help him do anything.

Liu Wendao didn’t have much else, but he had earned a lot of money over the years!
