In another hotel, Wu Yangcheng woke up with a throbbing head. His hand still hurt, especially in the middle of the night.
Recently, he could only fall asleep by taking drugs every day.
The huge blow to the Wu family also left him mentally and physically exhausted.
Every day when he looked in the mirror, he could hardly recognize the person inside. The once proud and spirited man now looked listless with dark circles under his eyes.
"Damn it!"
Wu Yangcheng picked up his phone as soon as he woke up.
His already unpleasant face turned even uglier.
There were twenty or so missed calls on his phone, and most of them were unlikely to be good news. It was even possible that none of the calls were good news!
He quickly opened WeChat.
Many people had sent him messages on WeChat.
It took Wu Yangcheng several minutes to read all the messages, and most of them were not good news either.
The most common were messages urging him to repay debts.
When the Wu family had assets of sixty to seventy billion, people were not worried about Wu Yangcheng owing them money and would not rush to collect debts. Now that the Wu family was in this situation, everyone was urging him to pay up.
"I must get support from the Song family!"
"As long as I have the support of the Song family and withstand the pressure from that one force, none of these problems will be problems."
Wu Yangcheng splashed cold water on his face to cheer himself up.
"The number you dialed is busy——"
Wu Yangcheng called Song Shize again, but still couldn't get through. Wu Yangcheng's face was gloomy. He had dialed more than a dozen times, and it was always like this.
He even called once in the middle of the night!
There was only one possibility in this situation: he had been blacklisted.
"Calm down, calm down."
"As long as I see Song Shize, I will definitely be able to convince him."
Wu Yangcheng took a deep breath and murmured to himself.
At ten o'clock, Wu Yangcheng tidied up and left the hotel.
Lin Chen, holding Lin Xiaoxi and Xu Mengyao, also went downstairs.
Song Qingquan was very busy today and did not come to pick them up in person, but he sent his driver to pick up Lin Chen and the others.
Twenty minutes later, the car approached the Song family. Land was at a premium in the capital, but the Song family had a manor covering more than ten acres.
Only those with invitations could enter today.
"Huh——"
Lin Chen saw Wu Yangcheng.
Wu Yangcheng was stopped, and he was talking to the person who stopped him.
Lin Chen used his internal energy to listen, and he heard clearly that Wu Yangcheng was asking the person who stopped him to talk to Song Shize, saying that he had a good relationship with Song Shize and could definitely enter.
The person who stopped him ignored him.
Song Shize had already given them a blacklist, and people on the blacklist were not allowed to enter. Wu Yangcheng was on it.
"Interesting."
"The Wu family is still pinning their hopes on the Song family."
Lin Chen muttered to himself.
"Third Master Song!"
Suddenly, Wu Yangcheng saw Lin Chen's car. He knew that this car was Song Qingquan's exclusive car.
Wu Yangcheng shouted and stopped Lin Chen's car.
Song Qingquan was the Third Master of the Song family. If Song Qingquan nodded, he could naturally enter the manor to attend today's birthday banquet.
"Huh?"
The vehicle approached, and Wu Yangcheng was stunned.
He saw Lin Chen sitting in the passenger seat.
Wu Yangcheng suddenly felt that his brain was crashing.
The Song family originally supported their Wu family. He wanted his son to come out earlier, so he opposed the Xu family and Lin Chen. Now, how could Lin Chen be in Song Qingquan's car?
"Could it be——"
A thought suddenly popped into Wu Yangcheng's mind.
Could the force targeting their Wu family be the Song family?
"President Wu, don't you have an invitation?"
Lin Chen lowered the car window and asked with a smile.
The corner of Wu Yangcheng's mouth twitched. Whether he had an invitation or not was no longer important. Even if the Song family was not targeting their Wu family, the Song family was walking with Lin Chen.
Even if he entered the manor again, he would only be humiliating himself.
"President Wu, please move aside, thank you."
Lin Chen said politely.
Wu Yangcheng stepped aside blankly. Watching the car drive into the manor, his heart turned cold.
Lin Chen had become a guest of the Song family, which meant that Lin Chen should have a force behind him that was no weaker than the Song family.
How could their Wu family have the ability to withstand the pressure?
"I'm afraid this situation is more than just five years in prison."
"No, I have to go abroad quickly!"
Wu Yangcheng thought to himself.
If it was only five years, he could endure it. He was in his early fifties now, and he would be less than sixty years old by then.
If he was sentenced to more than ten years, he would be over sixty when he came out.
Most of his body would be buried in the ground.
"Go to the airport."
Back in his car, Wu Yangcheng said in a deep voice. He quickly told his secretary to buy a plane ticket to go abroad. He would leave directly after arriving at the airport.
However, as soon as his secretary bought the ticket, it triggered an alarm.
His name was already in the warning system. Normally, it would not affect him, but as long as he went abroad, it would be automatically triggered.
"Beep beep!"
In less than two minutes, Wu Yangcheng's phone rang.
It was a strange number. Wu Yangcheng didn't want to answer the phone now, but after he hung up, the other party called again.
"Who is it?"
Wu Yangcheng answered and said in a deep voice.
The person on the other end of the phone said, "Are you Wu Yangcheng? You are involved in a case and need your cooperation. You will not be able to leave the country before the case is resolved."
"Please go to——"
Wu Yangcheng's face was extremely ugly after hanging up the phone. His secretary sent him a message at this time, saying that the plane ticket was not successfully purchased.
Wu Yangcheng's expression was decadent.
If he couldn't buy a plane ticket, he couldn't leave quickly. Taking the train was slow, and the train also required a ticket.
"Smuggling?"
Such an idea popped into Wu Yangcheng's mind.
But smuggling might not be successful, and smuggling would also be a crime. If he was not careful, he might be killed halfway.
Others threw him into the sea, and his body would be gone.
"Alas!"
Wu Yangcheng sighed deeply.
In this situation, he could only wait for the judgment of the law. He could only hope that he would be sentenced to a few years less at that time.
"Lin Chen, we'll see."
"Flowers don't bloom for a hundred days. When you don't have anyone to support you, I want to see what kind of end you will have."
Wu Yangcheng gritted his teeth.
Even if the company went bankrupt, he would still have a lot of money. When he got out of prison, he would still be much stronger than ordinary people.
If Lin Chen fell, he would be able to step on Lin Chen at that time.
"Young Master Lin, President Xu, welcome, welcome."
Song Shize warmly welcomed Lin Chen and the others.
Song Qingquan told him not to call Lin Chen 'Master Lin', and he was now calling him 'Young Master Lin' like Song Qingquan did before.
"President Song, you are too polite."
Lin Chen said with a smile.
Song Qingquan: "Young Master Lin, please feel free. There are many guests today, so please forgive me for any lack of care."
Lin Chen nodded: "President Song, you go ahead with your work."
Some people nearby looked at Lin Chen and the others in surprise. Lin Chen was very young, but Song Qingquan was so polite.
Song Qingquan left.
Xu Mengyao leaned close to Lin Chen and whispered, "Husband, I saw a female classmate from when I was studying at university abroad. She seems to have seen me too."
"My relationship with her is average."
"I heard that she married abroad and married well."
Lin Chen followed Xu Mengyao's gaze and looked over.
"She's coming to find you."
Lin Chen said softly.
That beauty, a dozen meters away, walked towards them.
