Chapter 29: Chapter 23: Blinded by Greed

The Admiral was present, the Director was present, and Liang Youxin was scared out of his wits.

Even though Director Liang was his relative, he didn’t dare to speak recklessly now.

Liang Youxin was just a businessman, and his martial arts rank was only first grade. Facing so many big figures, he could already foresee his own disastrous end.

Businessmen are not fools; in fact, they are all shrewder than the other.

When using contracts to threaten opponents, his own vulnerabilities also fell into Old Wang’s hands.

The most crucial link in this business war actually lay with the Investigation and Arrest Bureau.

If Old Wang wanted to countersue him, the Investigation and Arrest Bureau could also arrest people.

For businessmen like them, the flow of funds is the most important. If he were investigated, the company’s capital chain would certainly break.

By the time he came out, it would be beyond remedy.

Previously, his reliance was on the Investigation and Arrest Bureau; who could have thought that the sharp blade in hand would suddenly fall into the enemy’s hands.

Liang Youxin couldn’t figure it out. Why would a fallen member of the Admiral’s family still receive help from the new Admiral?

Shouldn’t they be like water and fire?

The new Admiral had been in office for a year, and there was never any news of her showing favor to the Su Family.

”Uncle Landlord, I can testify for you.

”It was this bad guy, saying he wanted the Investigation and Arrest Bureau to arrest you, and then clearly wanting to buy a 1.2 million house for only 500,000.

”He also threatened to have you never come out of prison in your lifetime.

”Everything I said is true. I swear on the red scarf on my chest.”

The landlord hadn’t spoken yet when Su Jianjun broke the silence.

Everyone was stunned.

This child was truly using his belief to prove his point.

”I am the Director responsible for economic cases in Cengyan City. If there truly is someone using threats to engage in unfair competition, I will surely act on behalf of the people.”

Director Liang wiped the sweat off his forehead, looking upright and unyielding.

Luckily, he hadn’t gotten involved in the threats or taken any bribes, otherwise, he would’ve been implicated.

Thank goodness, thank goodness.

As for this relative, Liang Youxin, he could only be sacrificed.

”Su Yue, could I speak a few words with you?”

The landlord’s face twisted in conflict, and he suddenly spoke.

”Hmm... alright!”

Su Yue nodded and followed the landlord away, still waiting to watch the show.

...

”Let’s return to the living room.”

Li Xingpei and Wang Nanguo didn’t continue standing at the door but returned to the living room.

Director Liang would handle everything.

The trivial matters here were far less intriguing than the past stories in the Mistrealm, and there were many stories to tell about Su Jianzhou too.

”Admiral, please be assured; Director, rest easy. I will act impartially.”

Director Liang immediately put on a solemn expression.

Liang Youxin’s legs were trembling, and several officers from the Investigation and Arrest Bureau behind him had already taken out handcuffs, ready to arrest him.

...

”Su Yue, about this matter... can we just let it go?

”With the 900,000 you’ve given me, the business crisis can be resolved. There’s no need for Old Liang’s family to be ruined.”

The landlord could see that the Admiral and the Director were merely showing Su Yue respect.

”What? Landlord, think carefully... this guy schemed against you, exploited the situation, and nearly brought you to ruin.

”Let him off? You mustn’t be soft-hearted; someone like him deserves to rot in jail.”

Su Yue looked incredulous.

At this point, what’s the point of hesitating?

”Alas, you don’t know; back in college, Old Liang and I were bunkmates.

”He was my best man at my wedding.

”When I didn’t have enough money to buy a house, he lent me 200,000 without hesitation.

”He even helped me greatly with my business.”

The landlord sighed and continued:

”Money, if it’s too much, becomes a curse.

”I can’t remember when a barrier suddenly appeared between us, and our relationship inexplicably cooled.

”We’ve been brothers for 40 years.

”Back in the Mistrealm, Old Liang carried me back to life when my life hung by a thread. Back then, we were closer than brothers.

”I can’t watch him go to jail.

”Please speak to the Director for me, and let this matter be considered settled.”

After the words fell, Su Yue looked helpless.

This tangled relationship, what a headache.

”By the way, where is the Mistrealm?”

Su Yue asked suddenly.

”Uh... when you get to college, the professors will tell you.”

The landlord was taken aback but quickly changed the subject.

”They’re all speaking in riddles.

”The choice is yours; if you want to let him go, fine. But he needs to apologize and apologize to my cousin too.”

Su Yue was seething inside but couldn’t force the landlord to sue someone.

”Yes, I understand. Thank you. Thank you for your understanding!”

The landlord nodded.

...

At the door, Su Jianjun was called back to cook by Su Jianzhou.

Director Liang glared sternly at Liang Youxin, seemingly scolding him silently with his mind.

Other officers from the Investigation and Arrest Bureau were ready and waiting.

Meanwhile, the subordinates Liang Youxin had brought along were bewildered, perhaps contemplating where to find their next job.

The boss seemed done for.

Su Yue and the landlord returned.

”Go to the Investigation and Arrest Bureau to file a report, and I’ll take Liang Youxin away.”

Clink.

The silver handcuffs glistened coldly under the streetlamp as they snapped onto Liang Youxin’s wrists.

Even the Immortal could not save him today.

”Director Liang, wait a moment.”

The Investigation Bureau was about to load Liang Youxin into the car when the landlord suddenly stopped them.

”Is there anything else?”

Director Liang looked puzzled.

”Let’s call it off; I don’t plan on pressing charges.

”Old Liang, just apologize to me.”

The landlord shook his head, his face bitter.

”You...”

Liang Youxin was dumbfounded and didn’t dare to believe it.

”We’re old classmates; even if you go bankrupt, I won’t gain anything.

”Apologize, and I’ll feel better.”

The landlord looked at Liang Youxin sincerely.

Just like back in college, the first time they entered the dormitory, tidying up bedding, going to the cafeteria together, covering for each other while flirting, being wingmen for each other.

Everyone was astonished.

No one expected that the landlord who could have sought revenge chose to forgive him instead.

Liang Youxin trembled even more, and Su Yue squinted his eyes, noticing a glimmer of tears in Liang Youxin’s eyes.

”I’m... I’m sorry.”

Suddenly, Liang Youxin lunged at the landlord, presumably to hug him, but his wrists were shackled.

”I’m sorry, it was my greed for profit, it was my mistake. I’m sorry.”

Tears rolled uncontrollably from Liang Youxin’s eyes.

”Apologize to the Su Family too. You messed up their floor; be more polite in the future.”

After the landlord spoke, Liang Youxin repeatedly bowed toward Su Yue.

”I’m sorry for my recklessness.

”I can’t go inside right now, but someday I’ll make sure to visit and apologize to the little one. I’m sorry.”

Having narrowly escaped calamity, Liang Youxin repeatedly bowed in apology.

Whew!

In the distance, Director Liang also exhaled deeply.

A happy ending for everyone.

If there’s a chance in the future, take care of Old Wang more; harmony begets wealth, and forgiving others when possible is the best business principle.

”Liang Youxin, in the future, conduct business with integrity. Don’t pull these tricks anymore!”

With a parting remark, Director Liang and the others drove away.

Liang Youxin expressed his gratitude repeatedly and left with his subordinates.

”Landlord, letting him go, are you really okay with it?”

Once everyone left, Su Yue and the landlord signed the contract, transferring the property to Su Jianzhou, as he was underage and couldn’t officially own it himself.

”Su Yue, you’re still young. When you reach my age, you’ll understand.

”The closer you get to death, the fewer friends you’ll have. Each loss is eternal.

”For that pure bond from the past, I can’t drive him to a dead end.”

After signing the contract, the landlord also left.

...

In the living room, Su Jianjun had already prepared everything.

Simple porridge, simple side dishes, and crispy fried buns.

Li Xingpei couldn’t stop praising.

”Su Yue, don’t dwell on it. The landlord has a broad mind and is a good person. The fact that he could waive the rent to take us in proves his kind heart.

”A kind-hearted person forgiving an old classmate is quite normal.”

Seeing Su Yue still sulking, Su Jianzhou smiled and said.

”Forgiveness is hundreds of times harder than retribution. This old gentleman truly is a benevolent man.”

Li Xingpei also smiled.

The government has some projects that require a businessman like him.

A kind-hearted person is less likely to cut corners, less likely to deceive and cheat.
