Chapter 303: Chapter 303 Threat
Zhang Songxuan hung up Xu Yang's call and immediately dialed Li Changsheng's number.
The phone connected quickly.
"Old Zhang, how did it go?" Li Changsheng was waiting for Zhang Songxuan's call and asked directly as he answered.
"Old Li, you almost fucking killed me!" Zhang Songxuan was furious.
"Old Zhang, what are you talking about? How did I harm you? Is it just because I asked you to help plead for my son?" Li Changsheng was bewildered by Zhang Songxuan's remark.
It couldn't have escalated to harming someone, could it?
"You know exactly what kind of bastard your son is, and yet you still expect me to plead for him? If that's not screwing me over, what is!" Zhang Songxuan said angrily.
"Old Zhang, what's wrong with my son? How is he a bastard?" Li Changsheng had a bad feeling.
Could it be that Zhang Songxuan knew about the things his son had done? Did Xu Yang tell him?
"Don't play dumb with me. Your son would have been locked up long ago if it weren't for you," Zhang Songxuan said coldly.
He was no fool.
With the things Li Zixuan had done, if it weren't for Li Changsheng cleaning up after him, he would have been locked up a long time ago. How could he still be at large?
Today, he had just hit a snag with Xu Yang, and it was well deserved.
"Old Zhang, you know everything? Did Xu Yang tell you?"
Since Zhang Songxuan had spoken this way, it showed he must know. So, there was no point for Li Changsheng to pretend anymore.
"Yes, Xu Yang told me. I initially thought your son was only into frivolous pursuits, but I never imagined he would be so heartless and lawless. You better watch out for yourself," Zhang Songxuan said.
"Old Zhang, no matter what, he is still my son. If I don't look after him, who will? Do I just watch him get caught and go to jail?" Li Changsheng said.
"Being caught and going to jail might actually be good for him. You shouldn't have cleaned up after him in the beginning. Letting him continue down this path, now that he's caught, by the time he gets out, half his life will be gone," Zhang Songxuan said.
"Old Zhang, don't talk without understanding the pain. If it were you, could you make that decision at the beginning?" Li Changsheng snorted coldly.
"I..." Zhang Songxuan opened his mouth but suddenly found himself at a loss for words.
Putting himself in the other's shoes, he wasn't sure he would make the decision he was suggesting.
Alas, the love of a parent is a pitiful thing indeed.
Zhang Songxuan sighed and said, "Xu Yang plans to pursue this to the end. Your son can't escape. I suggest you advise him to turn himself in. That way, he could reduce his sentence by a few years."
Li Changsheng said, "Impossible. If he gets caught, like you said, by the time he's out, half his life will be gone, his whole life ruined. Worst comes to worst, I'll send him abroad, and he'll never come back. If I want to see him, I'll just visit him overseas."
Zhang Songxuan sighed and said, "Forget it, I can't handle this kind of thing. You do what you think is best."
Li Changsheng said, "Anyway, I still want to thank you."
After the conversation ended, Li Changsheng's gaze flickered.
After pondering for a while, he dialed Xu Yang's number again.
The phone connected quickly.
"Mr. Li, it's already very late, what else do you need?" Xu Yang had just sent the evidence to the relevant departments and exposed it online, and was preparing to go back to his room to bathe and sleep.
"Mr. Xu, I'll ask you once more, do you really intend to pursue my son's responsibility, to bring my son's issue to light?" Li Changsheng said gravely.
"Mr. Li, I've already answered this question when you called me just now," Xu Yang said.
"Xu Yang, if you really do such a thing, if you really cause my son to be imprisoned, I'll use all my resources to take down your company. Your assets and mine are similar; even if it means risking my whole company, I am determined to ruin your life!" Li Changsheng said, somewhat crazily.
"Are you threatening me?" Xu Yang narrowed his eyes.
"That's right, I'm threatening you. You were poor before, and it wasn't easy for you to build your current career. You wouldn't want to see it fail and go back to the bottom, would you?"
Li Changsheng sneered, believing he had grabbed Xu Yang's Achilles' heel.
"Mr. Li, are you serious?" Xu Yang asked.
"Of course, if you dare to get my son locked up, I'll make sure you end up at the bottom as well. I've lived more than half my life already, I have nothing to lose, but you're still young. I can afford to gamble; can you?" Li Changsheng sneered.
"Mr. Li, don't you have an older son? Don't you want to think about him?" Xu Yang asked.
"No need, with his abilities, even if he has to work for someone else, he can find a good job. He's definitely not comparable to you. My older son doesn't have any issues, and there's no way you can mess with him," Li Changsheng said.
"Mr. Li, to be honest, I was only planning to let your younger son be incarcerated for reform, so he wouldn't harm others any further. But since you're acting so irrationally, I'm not going to give you that chance. I hope you won't regret it when your company collapses," Xu Yang said gravely.
"Xu Yang, I've been in the business world for over twenty years. You think collapsing my company is easy? Even if you have connections with the wealthy Wang, it's not that simple. Even if you could collapse my company, yours wouldn't be far behind. When you're no longer useful, neither the Wang family nor the Jiang Family will give you a second look.
You will never be able to rise again," Li Changsheng sneered.
"Well, let's wait and see," Xu Yang hung up the phone.
On Li Changsheng's end, he put down the phone with a gloomy expression.
He had thought that threatening Xu Yang would make him compromise.
To his surprise, Xu Yang was still determined to go through with it.
They would have to send the younger son abroad.
If they left immediately, there should still be time.
He looked at the flight information for Jiang City and his eyes lit up. Picking up his phone, he dialed his son's number.
Soon, the call connected.
"Dad, how did it go?" Li Zixuan had been anxiously waiting for his father's call. As soon as he picked up, he asked impatiently.
"That bastard Xu Yang is bent on sending you to jail. Head to Jiang City Airport right now. There's a flight to the capital of Yue Country at twelve. First fly to Yue Country, then head to Europe or America," Li Changsheng said.
"Dad, is it that serious?" Li Zixuan was startled; this was telling him to flee the country.
"It's that serious. We won't talk more now, we'll discuss the details later. Hurry up and pack, and head to the airport," Li Changsheng said.
"Okay, I'll listen to you and head to the airport right now," Li Zixuan naturally had no objections.
Anyone might harm him, but his dad definitely wouldn't.
In the past, his dad had cleaned up after all his messes.
In short, following his dad's instructions was never wrong.
