My sister regretted sending me to the correctional facility.

I made Liu Chaoyang furious.

He gripped the glass of red wine tightly with his right hand.

Several times he tried to grab a glass of red wine and throw it at me.

I'm pretty sure Liu Chaoyang would dare to throw red wine at me!

But Zhao Ming, who was next to him, held his arm tightly.

"President Liu, calm down! Lu Yi is deliberately provoking you! If you start a fight here, you'll be in trouble!"

Liu Chaoyang wasn't stupid; at this moment, he did everything he could to suppress his anger.

He slowly and tremblingly released his angry right hand.

Then he said it to me, word by word.

"Lu Yi, I know you're deliberately trying to provoke me!"

"It's just a company. If I don't want it, I don't want it. It's not like I only have this one company!"

I know that Liu Chaoyang is trying to save face and preserve his last bit of dignity.

It is true that Liu Chaoyang owns several companies.

However, the company I took from him was his largest company.

This is also his main base.

We have lost such a crucial core component.

How could Liu Chaoyang truly be willing to give up when he says he will?

I stared at Liu Chaoyang, who had already lost his composure.

The situation is now in my hands.

In my entire life, I haven't had many truly glorious moments.

But this time, I'm going to seize the opportunity!

I said, "Liu Chaoyang, I have to thank you. If you hadn't left the country so quietly, I really wouldn't have been able to acquire your company so smoothly!"

Before Liu Chaoyang returned, he had already heard from others about how I acquired his company.

He gritted his teeth and said, "That Shen Zuo! He's a complete bastard! In all my years of raising eagles, this is the first time I've ever had an eagle peck at my eye!"

"Heh, Lu Yi, this Shen Zuo can betray me once, and he can betray you twice!"

"If Shen Zuo hadn't interfered, do you think you could have acquired my company so smoothly?"

"Hmph! What kind of bullshit Master Lu is he? He's just a fake identity, pretending to be a master, but he does it so convincingly! He can only fool some laymen who don't know anything. If you really run into an expert, you'll immediately be exposed!"

Liu Chaoyang's mouth was as fast as a machine gun.

It kept attacking me relentlessly.

But I'm not angry.

Even if he insults me with the most nasty words, I won't get angry.

Because I know that Liu Chaoyang no longer has the energy he used to have.

If he still has the energy he had before.

What he should do is not to argue with me, but to take immediate action and use his power to deal with me.

Now all he can do is use his words to humiliate me and expose my lies.

So I'm not angry.

He's just a toothless tiger.

I said, "Liu Chaoyang, what I just said was the first thing I wanted to thank you for."

"The second thing I want to thank you for is for helping me bring Zhao Ming back."

"If it weren't for you, I really wouldn't have been able to meet Zhao Ming again so soon!"

As I spoke, my gaze fell on Zhao Ming.

I smiled slightly at him and greeted him.

"Zhao Ming, it's been a long time. How have you been?"

These words sent a chill down Zhao Ming's spine.

He was afraid of me because he knew he had wronged me.

But in this situation, he couldn't back down or give in.

Once he did that.

He suffered a complete and utter defeat.

"I'm alright!"

Zhao Ming forced out a last bit of a smile, trying to appear nonchalant.

But I saw through his feigned strength at a glance.

I went straight to the point and told him.

"Are you okay?"

"What about Aunt Gu?"

"Are you so selfish that you'd disregard Aunt Gu's life for money?"

"Zhao Ming! A person should live with a conscience! Aunt Gu has treated you well since you were little, hasn't she? You were taken in by my family when you were a child for various reasons, and it was Aunt Gu who took care of you and raised you!"

"You should be grateful. Without Aunt Gu, you wouldn't be where you are today!"

"But look at what you've done!"

"They swindled 50 million yuan from Aunt Gu, driving her insane, and she ultimately chose to commit suicide by jumping off a bridge!"

All of these words I'm saying are venting my pent-up resentment for far too long.

Finally, at this moment, they all vented their frustrations on Zhao Ming.

Zhao Ming's face was deathly pale.

He was so scared that his body was trembling, and he could barely sit up.

Zhao Ming said, trembling, "Aunt Gu clearly jumped off the bridge and committed suicide herself, it wasn't me who pushed her off..."

"What...what does this have to do with me? I clearly didn't kill Aunt Gu!"

"Lu Yi, don't try to pin all the blame on me!"

I listened to Zhao Ming's words of defense and the disgusting way he desperately tried to exonerate himself.

This made me so angry I felt nauseous, and I even laughed at him!

"Hahaha! Zhao Ming, you really are a complete ingrate!"

"How could you say something like that just to distance yourself from the situation! I truly feel wronged for Aunt Gu!"

"If Aunt Gu could know this in the afterlife, she would probably regret what you said and weep with regret, wouldn't she?"

"She treated you with all her heart, and this is the kind of gratitude you get in return?"

This time, I completely silenced Zhao Ming.

He lowered his head deeply, like a trembling child who had made a mistake.

But I know this is Zhao Ming's usual way of playing the victim!

From childhood to adulthood, whenever he did something wrong, he would act pitiful like this.

In the end, others felt sorry for him and chose to forgive him, thus ignoring the mistakes he had made.

I used to be soft-hearted and tolerant of him, and I would remember that we were both raised by Aunt Gu.

But now, I will absolutely not feel any sympathy for him anymore!

I said, "Zhao Ming, I must settle accounts with you for Aunt Gu's death, and I will keep doing so until everything is settled!"

"You swindled 5000 million yuan, caused Aunt Gu to commit suicide by jumping off a bridge, cheated Gu Yao out of her money, and absconded with my company's funds beforehand..."

"I will settle accounts with you for all of these things!"

My tone was unusually frigid.

This completely terrified Zhao Ming.

He looked at me, trembling.

Because the person he remembers is definitely not someone with this kind of strong personality.

They would never utter such terrifying and harsh words.

However, thanks to Gu Yao and Zhao Ming, I spent so much time "training" in places like reformatories and mental hospitals.

It made my heart as hard as iron, and my personality hardened and cold.

I've come to realize that when reasoning with people fails, you might as well use your fists to reason with them.

Just like now.

Liu Chaoyang stared at me with anger in his eyes.

"Lu Yi, are you planning to sever our relationship to the point of no return before even starting negotiations?"

"Let me warn you, I know some local thugs in Jiangcheng. If I ask them to take action, do you think you'll even see the sun rise tomorrow?"
