Chapter 917: Chapter 907: Retaliation Strikes

In business, you rely on intellect; in politics, you rely on social skills.

Anyone who makes it big is no fool. If it were Old Master Wen’s own child in this situation, maybe asking some close friends could be possible, but Su Qing is not his biological son. Even if Old Master Wen goes for help thick-skinned, those friends might only offer minimal assistance.

The bottom line is likely the Tang Family coming forward to apologize, paying more compensation, and giving each other a way out.

Unless there’s a way to bring down Tang Tianyu’s mother, Ke Hong, that’s the way in. Otherwise, no one wants to risk offending someone of notable rank.

There’s an old saying: The world isn’t about fighting; it’s about relationships.

"Old man, you should at least make a call and ask for help. We need to put some pressure on them, or they’ll think Little Su and Little Yi are easy targets!" Wen’s mother pondered for a moment before speaking.

As the woman who weathered storms with Old Master Wen, her perspective was certainly high. Over the years, she had learned a thing or two, knowing the hidden corruption in these matters.

If the other side knows that Su Qing and his team don’t have backers, they will be reckless. But if they do have support, the two sides will be mutually wary and restrained.

Hearing this, Old Master Wen nodded: "That’s the logic. I’ll make a call to lay the groundwork. Although it’s difficult to fetch justice, providing support is feasible!"

After speaking, Old Master Wen picked up the phone, pondered a while, and then began to search his contacts.

What Su Qing didn’t know was that by now a force was working behind the scenes, starting to aid him in his struggle with the opponents.

"If that’s the case, what do you plan to do? If it really doesn’t work, we’ll have to accept this loss. The public can’t fight the officials!"

After listening to his son’s explanation, Old Su’s heart was heavy, but at his age, he was mature enough to know that sometimes you can’t arm wrestle a leg.

His son Su Qing wanted the opposing side to pay, but the difficulty of this was obvious.

"Impossible, Dad. I’ll handle this myself, you don’t need to worry. Also, that Tang guy probably won’t let this go easily. You and Mom should be careful these days. I’ll find a way to hire some people to ensure our safety at the very least," Su Qing said thoughtfully.

Since the narrator suggested the opponent intended revenge, Su Qing was a bit worried. The young Tang guy might just do something unpredictable; it can’t be ignored.

"There’s no need for that, right? In today’s society, even if his family has some power, would he dare to commit an assault?" Old Su said disbelievingly. Previously, his level had never allowed him access to that circle, naturally unaware of some real dark sides.

Actually, not just Old Su, nowadays most people haven’t seen the real methods of those with real power; they’re even more overwhelming than movies depict.

Meanwhile, in a villa outside Jiang City’s suburb, Tang Tianyu got slapped by his father and stormed out.

"Look, look at that! This is the good son you raised," Tang Zhou shouted at his wife Ke Hong.

"Always blaming me, don’t you have any responsibility for the way he’s turned out?

Do you know that just now, several leaders already called asking about this issue? Although they didn’t explicitly criticize me, they hinted about influence, and you know what that means?

This matter needs to be resolved quickly. Didn’t expect those two to have such connections. Pay more money and see if we can turn the page on this," Ke Hong said, rubbing her temples.

Hearing this, Tang Zhou became furious: "Keep indulging him then!"

"Then what do you want me to do? As his mother, should I just watch my son go to jail?"

As soon as she said this, Tang Zhou fell silent.

Indeed, as parents, they always find ways to make up for their children’s mistakes and clean up after them, hoping that the kids would learn sooner.

Ordinary people face this with children, so they’re no exception either.

And after being slapped, Tang Tianyu drove straight into the city, quickly gathering seven or eight people to drink together.

At a barbecue stall, seven or eight young guys were hanging out together.

"Damn, Brother Yu, that Su Qing doesn’t know what’s good for him. How about we teach him a lesson?" suggested one of the lackeys.

"Yeah, give him some punishment! Since when did Brother Yu have to suffer such grievances?"

Then, others at the table chimed in. These people were all Tang Tianyu’s drinking buddies; some came from decent backgrounds, others played the role of underlings.

Upon hearing this, Tang Tianyu took a deep breath and smashed his beer bottle on the ground: "That’s right, I’ve never seen anyone dare to threaten me! Today, because of him, I’ve been slapped twice. Damn it, come with me later, I have news already!"

...

"Son, don’t act impulsively. Sometimes backing down isn’t bad. You have to think twice before acting recklessly. You’re getting married to Shen Yi next month; you’re no longer alone, understood?"

In front of the restaurant, the father-son duo talked for a long time. Ultimately, Old Su couldn’t convince him, just advising him to stay calm and think about Shen Yi.

In response, Su Qing didn’t speak, just quietly hailed two cars for Old Su.

After sending Old Su off, Su Qing walked home alone. His mind was in chaos, but he urgently needed to find a way to achieve his goal.

Enduring silently wasn’t his style. If he truly had no capability, then that’s one thing. But with the narrator’s help, he didn’t want to let this drop.

So, Su Qing walked along the road for half an hour, using the narrator’s ability to construct plans in his mind, only for them to be vetoed one by one.

[Plan failed... Evidence will be obtained by the police]

[The plan failed... The other side can use power to forcibly investigate!]

[The plan failed... The other side’s network is very strong, and your preparation is insufficient]

[The plan failed...]

Plan after plan got rejected, but Su Qing didn’t feel the slightest bit frustrated; instead, the light in his eyes grew brighter.

Because he knew that the more the narration denied, the more perfect his plan became.

Old Su thought he would act impulsively, perhaps recklessly, maybe even endanger himself, but he’s not a fool. Why would he risk himself when he could use the narration?

Not only did he want to ensure the other side paid the price, but he also wanted to successfully extricate himself, just like he did with his elementary school classmate last time.

However, the difficulty this time was that the other side had considerable power and connections. In the face of power, sometimes mere suspicion was enough; evidence wasn’t all that important.

At this moment, a special narration prompt suddenly popped into his mind.

[Attention, retaliation from Tang Tianyu and others is imminent. They will meet your always strong-willed father in five minutes at Jiangming District, and a conflict will occur. The weak Old Su will get injured.]

The sudden narration prompt caused Su Qing to widen his eyes with fear instantly flooding his chest. Although the narration had warned him about the coming retaliation, he didn’t expect it to come so quickly, and so crudely, with such despicable means.

After all, these were children nurtured in high-quality families combining officials and businessmen, seeming mindless. But such mindless behavior, although easy to catch, took him by surprise.

There was no time to think. Su Qing hurriedly took out his phone and called Old Su while running towards home, trying to hail a cab as he ran.

"Pick up, pick up, Old Man! Hurry up!" Su Qing muttered anxiously.

Finally, the call connected, and Old Su’s voice came through.

"What is it again, you brat, I’ve just got home!"

"Dad, listen to me. Don’t ask why, quickly get away from our house. Tang Tianyu is bringing people to make trouble for us. Don’t ask me how I know. Just hurry up and avoid them!" Su Qing shouted.

On the other end, Su Hongye was bewildered and instinctively asked, "But you..."

"No nonsense, get moving, why are you asking questions, hurry up, I’m not joking!" Su Qing yelled into the phone.

He hated people who dilly-dallied and questioned everything at critical moments. Here he was in an emergency, and he still needed to explain why?

By the time he finished explaining, it would be too late; there’s no way your own son would harm you, right?

He was sure that if Shen Yi had answered, she wouldn’t have asked why. She would have said she understood, and then immediately left.

They could talk about the reasons once they met.

Yelled at, Old Su was bewildered but seemed to understand the urgency of this matter.

"Alright, I’ll leave first! Talk to you later!"

At this moment, a taxi stopped in front of him:

"Driver, to Jiangming District, drive as fast as you can."

"No, there’s a speed limit in the city!"

"I’ll pay extra, ten thousand!"

"It doesn’t matter how much you add, we have regulations..."

"A hundred thousand!"

"I..."

"Transfer it right now!" Su Qing took out his phone and started transferring money to the so-called QR code.

[vChat payment, one hundred thousand... yuan!]

When the emotionless electronic receipt sounded inside the car, the taxi driver was dumbfounded.

"Are you serious?"

"Of course, the faster the better. If you’re slow, I’ll take the money back!"

As the saying goes, money can make the devil turn the mill.

"Hold on tight!"

The next second, Su Qing heard the screeching sound of tires rubbing, followed by a strong pushback sensation, it was...
