Coercion

Ever since Yao Zhaoyang’s accident, Yao Zizhou rarely went to the company; he usually worked from home.

Zhao Qiang and Mr. He were the on-site people in charge of everything in the company.

When Zhao Qiang got home from work, Wang Ke’er could not help but say, “Darling, you’ve been getting busier recently, and you’re spending less time with me.”

Zhao Qiang knew that he had been spending too little time with her, but he had no choice. After all, there were so many things in the company that Mr. He could not handle alone.

Zhao Qiang said, “Ke’er, I hope you can understand. It’s not convenient for the CEO to go to the company right now, so—”

Before he could finish, Wang Ke’er interrupted him, saying, “I know, and I understand. I just wanted to act cute with you.”

When Zhao Qiang heard this, he patted Wang Ke’er’s head lovingly.

“What do you want to eat today?” asked Zhao Qiang. “I’ll make it for you.”

“I went out to buy some food today, so I’ll eat whatever you cook,” said Wang Ke’er with a smile.

The relationship between Wang Lin and Wang Zetian had become easier, and Wang Zetian returned to work at Wang Corporation. He began learning about business from Wang Lin.

That night, Wang Lin waited for a long time, but Wang Zetian did not come home. He had thought that Wang Zetian had gone drinking with his friends again.

But the next day, Wang Zetian had not returned home or gone to work. In the afternoon, Wang Lin received a message.

[Chairman Wang Lin, your son is in our hands. Come to the abandoned factory in the suburbs tonight to talk.]

Wang Lin suddenly became nervous. Other than a few people close to him, no one knew this phone number.

Just as Wang Lin was hesitating whether to call the police, he received another message.

[By the way, don’t call the police. Otherwise, you’ll have to collect your son’s corpse.]

Wang Lin sat on the chair dispiritedly and did not dare to tell anyone about this. At night, Wang Lin sent everyone away and drove to the abandoned factory alone.

When he arrived, Wang Lin went inside the building. He only saw a bonfire there, and no one else.

“Where is he?” Wang Lin shouted. “Don’t play tricks. I’m here. Let my son go!”

Niu Wu walked out with his men, but Wang Zetian was nowhere to be seen.

“As expected of the Chairman of Wang Corporation,” said Niu Wu. “You really dare to come alone.”

“Where is my son?” Wang Lin asked darkly. “I’ve already done as you said. Let my son go.”

“Chairman Wang, don’t worry.” Niu Wu shook his head. “Your son is in very good hands, but there’s something we need your help with.”

Wang Lin frowned. This group of people did not want money, but something else instead?

Wang Lin said, “My family and I do not participate in illegal activities. I can’t afford it. But if you need money, I can give it to you.”

Niu Wu knew that Wang Lin would not agree easily to what he actually wanted.

“Chairman Wang, don’t be in such a hurry to reject me,” Niu Wu said. “You don’t know what it is yet.”

Wang Lin shook his head and said, “What else can people like you do? Even if you kill my son, I won’t do anything illegal for you.”

Boss Dong clapped his hands and walked out of the shadows. He said, “Good, I’ve heard that you abhor evil. I guess it’s true.”

Wang Lin stared at Boss Dong and thought for a while. He did not know this person, but he felt that he should not offend him.

“Friend, there is no enmity between us. Why do you have to make things difficult for me?” Wang Lin asked.

Boss Dong smiled without saying anything. This was only the first step of the plan.

“If you don’t do as I ask, I’ll get someone to send you a piece of your son’s finger each day,” said Niu Wu.

Wang Lin immediately said, “As long as it’s not illegal, I can do anything.”

“Don’t worry, I won’t ask you to break the law,” said Boss Dong with satisfaction.

Boss Dong’s request was for the Wang Corporation to declare war on Yao Corporation. This way, Yao Corporation would be thrown into chaos, and Yao Zizhou would be on guard.

When Wang Lin heard that they were going to attack the Yao family, he was a bit unwilling. But now that things had come to this, he could not watch his son be cruelly murdered.

Boss Dong saw Wang Lin’s hesitation and asked Yao Ziyang to come out.

“Chairman Wang, do you recognize him?” asked Boss Dong.

Wang Lin looked up and saw that it was Yao Ziyang.

“Isn’t this the disowned child of the Yao family?” Wang Lin said with disdain.

Boss Dong shook his head and said, “That’s not true. Although Ziyang has been abandoned by the Yao family, if Yao Zizhou’s family dies, won’t the Yao family still need Ziyang to inherit it?”

Wang Lin’s eyes widened in shock. These people were actually planning such a thing. If something really happened to the Yao family, then the Yao family would have no other choice but to acknowledge Yao Ziyang again.
