After Divorce, I Inherited the Game's Fortune Chapter 558

Chapter 558: 479, if one does not fend for oneself, the heavens will punish and the earth will obliterate (asking for monthly passes)_2 Chapter 558: 479, if one does not fend for oneself, the heavens will punish and the earth will obliterate (asking for monthly passes)_2 LA 1/4 Peng rolled his eyes.

“Finding some connections should do the trick!”
“At worst, we'll just have to pay more money!”
In Lu Mingzhe's view, there was no problem that couldn't be solved with money; if all else fails, just offer more money.

It's not like their family was short on cash!

Yet LA 1/4 Peng glared fiercely at his profligate son and said cursing under his breath, “That might work if the other party were just ordinary people.”
“But do you think Director Yang is an ordinary person, or Ye Shuyuan is an ordinary person?”
“Don't you have any idea about the network that the Ye Family has in Hucheng??”
“Uh, this…”
Lu Mingzhe was at a loss for words.

If the victim had been an ordinary person, the situation would have been much simpler.

Just a commoner, after all; a bit of money would have settled the matter!

But both Yang Hao and Ye Shuyuan were influential figures.

Unless they were willing to let go, and stop the police from investigating, this matter was bound to reach a conclusion.

“Dad, what exactly should I do now??”
“If that punk really rats me out, am I not going to end up eating prison food!”
Lu Mingzhe was totally panicking now, his tone even carrying a whiff of a sob.

LA 1/4 Peng pondered for a moment before saying, “Luckily, this case hasn't been exposed yet.”
“Otherwise, you'd have no chance at all.

With public opinion against you, you, the man behind the scenes, would surely be dragged out!”
“Now, the only thing to do is to see if we can reach a settlement with Director Yang.”
“As long as Director Yang can forgive you, this can be handled!”
After hearing what his father said, Lu Mingzhe immediately smirked, “You mean I should go apologize to him?”
“Dad, are you sure that he really knows?

What if he doesn't know yet, wouldn't I be admitting guilt by apologizing??”
“He must already know.”
LA 1/4 Peng said with certainty, “Otherwise, his attitude towards me just now wouldn't have been what it was!”
“What was his attitude towards you?”
Lu Mingzhe asked curiously.

“Enough talk, come upstairs with me!

I'll go talk to Director Yang first.”
“Hopefully, we can come to an agreement!”
LA 1/4 Peng sighed dejectedly.

By now, he was already thinking about the heavy price he might have to pay.

Although it was only the first time he had met Yang Hao, after learning about Lu Mingzhe's actions and recalling Yang Hao's indifference earlier, it was clear that Yang was already laying the groundwork!

After all, the man was a super-rich billionaire worth hundreds of billions.

To reach a settlement, a severe financial blow would likely be necessary, else he wouldn't even bother!

There was no helping it; that's what happens when you have money!

If the victim had been ordinary, a million or two would have been more than enough to resolve the matter smoothly.

Yet, the victim was Yang Hao, the billionaire with hundreds of billions to his name.

A million or two was nothing to him!

So whether this settlement could be achieved or not, LA 1/4 Peng had no confidence at all.

“Dad, maybe we should just wait and see!”
“I think it's impossible for him to know the truth of the matter!”
Obviously, Lu Mingzhe didn't quite agree with his father's plan.

“Shut your mouth.”
“From now on, do as I say!”
LA 1/4 Peng glared ferociously at his wasteful son.

Even now, the boy was still harboring hope for some fluke.

It was idiotic, showing zero ability to judge the situation or understand the changing tides!

Seeing his father's temper flare up again, Lu Mingzhe didn't dare say another word and, with his head drooping, silently followed LA 1/4 Peng towards the elevator.

Meanwhile, at the same time.

In a police car en route to the Jing'an District Public Security Bureau.

Hair Dye sat in the back, flanked by the police officers escorting him.

Indeed, he had been caught.

Because Zhao Hu had outright ratted him out.

Usually, Zhao Hu was quite professional and tight-lipped.

However, this time was different.

During her interrogation, Ma Tianjiao emphasized the backgrounds of Yang Hao and Ye Shuyuan, and the gravity of this “kidnapping case.”
After weighing the pros and cons, Zhao Hu quickly confessed.

He realized he had really gone too far this time.

In his initial plan, Zhao Hu believed he could get away scot-free, which is why he dared to take on the job.

He never expected that their attack target would be a skilled fighter like Yang Hao.

This was practically suicidal!

As a seasoned crook, Zhao Hu fully understood that if Yang Hao and Ye Shuyuan exerted their influence, he could very well end up serving a decade or more in prison!

Zhao Hu felt the charge was too serious, too heavy for him to bear.

Besides, he was already in his thirties; another decade or more behind bars and he would be in his fifties upon release.

What would be the meaning of life by then?

It was with this in mind that Zhao Hu decided to drag Huang Mao down with him.

“TMD!”
“Zhao Hu really can't be trusted at all!”
The chilling handcuffs clicked around his wrists, and Huang Mao cursed wildly in his heart.

At that moment, the police officer sitting to his left suddenly exclaimed, “Holy shit, there's even a video of Director Yang's 1VS11 fight taken by a bystander!”
“Really?”
Another officer asked curiously.

News of Yang Hao singlehandedly taking down over a dozen robbers had already spread throughout the police station.

Many were skeptical at first, but after learning that Yang Hao had also given Peng Ru Hai a thrashing, they had no choice but to believe it.

Peng Ru Hai, the captain of the criminal investigation team, had quite a reputation within the Jing'an District Public Security Bureau; after all, he had won third place in a police martial arts competition.

So, after hearing that Yang Hao had knocked down Peng Ru Hai with a single move, everyone was compelled to believe the incredible feat of Yang Hao singlehandedly defeating more than a dozen robbers!

“Holy shit, that's awesome!”
“I couldn't even see how he fought!”
The officer holding the cellphone lamented.

Sitting close by, Huang Mao also peeked at the video on the police officer's phone with curiosity.

The video was taken from a distance, but the clarity was still quite good; it clearly showed Yang Hao effortlessly knocking down the rushing robbers!

After watching the video twice, the officer casually scrolled through the comments section.

By now, the video had over twenty thousand comments and was generating a lot of buzz.

“Is this a movie being filmed?”
“Holy crap, that's too cool!”
“That's Director Yang, right?

He knows kung fu??”
“I thought this was going to be a many-against-one beating, but I never imagined it would be one against many!”
“Do they make movies this realistic now?

It's getting me pumped!”
“Director Yang is truly a dark horse; I used to think he only had money, but it turns out he has real superpowers!”
The netizens were abuzz with comments, all shocked by the content of the video, as such scenes are usually only seen in movies.

After seeing the video, a shiver went down Huang Mao's spine, judging from the content shown and the netizens' comments.

The case seemed to truly qualify as a kidnapping.

Moreover, as the video went viral, its impact would only grow.

Huang Mao was no fool; he knew that the larger the case's impact, the higher the sentence he could receive!

I don't want to go to prison!

Huang Mao silently screamed in his heart.

Actually, before getting into the police car, he constantly thought about taking the blame for Lu Mingzhe.

Huang Mao felt this was what loyalty was about!

But as soon as he was in the police car, with his legs weakening and his palms sweating, the thought of taking the fall diminished significantly.

The burden was too heavy; he couldn't bear it!

Soon, he would have to have a good talk with the police to see if there was a chance to redeem himself by confessing crimes.

Huang Mao began to recall any illegal activities Lu Mingzhe had been involved in; if it came to it, he would have to sacrifice his “young master.”
One must fend for oneself; the heavens do not spare anyone!

This phrase had become Huang Mao's creed in life.

The 50th floor of the Television Tower.

The Chairman's office.

At this moment, Yang Hao was sitting on the sofa in the reception area.

Ye Shuyuan was sitting to his right, while across from them were Ye Jianye and the group's Senior Vice President, Liu Xiaoguang.

“Director Yang, it looks like you're about to become famous again.”
Someone had shared the video of Yang Hao fighting one against ten with Ye Shuyuan.

As someone who had experienced the events firsthand, Ye Shuyuan even knew that the person shooting the video must have been in the car she had seen through the rear window when she tried to call for help.

At the time, Ye Shuyuan thought the other party had just left, but she hadn't expected someone in the car to have recorded the entire incident on their phone!
