Chapter 551: Arrogant and Overbearing

One of the policemen said, "Bai Kunyu, you are suspected of loan fraud and commercial fraud. Come with us, please."

Bai Kunyu took a deep breath and said to his third assistant, "Have the lawyer team follow."

After speaking, he followed the policemen out.

The third assistant immediately went to inform the lawyer team, and they headed to the patrol bureau. Your journey continues on Freewebnovel

Upon arriving at the station, Bai Kunyu, unlike others, was not handcuffed, and wasn’t even taken into an interrogation room.

Instead, he was brought to a special room where a steaming cup of tea and a pack of exclusive cigarettes were placed on the table in front of him, and he leisurely smoked.

A policeman came over and began to ask questions, yet he seemed extremely cautious.

To the uninformed, it would appear as if he was interrogating a suspect, not the other way around.

Bai Kunyu said, "Don’t ask yet, I need to make a phone call first."

The policeman said, "Okay."

Soon, his phone was handed to him.

He dialed Xu Yang’s phone number.

The call connected quickly.

Bai Kunyu said, "Xu Yang, I really want to know how you got Shen Pingkang to betray me."

Xu Yang gave a faint smile, "Does knowing that still matter to you?"

Bai Kunyu said, "Of course, no one has ever dared to betray me before. Shen Pingkang is the first, and I hope he is the last."

Xu Yang said, "It’s simple, I was aware of the animosity between Shen Pingkang and Chen Wenbin. They were at a point where it was either his life or mine, and you, far away in the capital, had no clue…"

He briefly explained the situation.

"So that’s how it is." Bai Kunyu finally understood, "Your sending Bai Kunyu inside was meant to make me give up on him, then you’d go and save him, making him feel grateful. Then, with the conflict he had with Chen Wenbin, it led to his complete betrayal of me."

Xu Yang chuckled, "Mr. Bai, now that you know the truth, maybe we should discuss something else?"

Bai Kunyu took a deep breath, "What exactly do you want?"

Xu Yang said, "Return my company to me and compensate me with thirty billion in cash."

Bai Kunyu’s expression changed, "What! You want me to compensate thirty billion? Impossible!"

He had initially intended to take over Xu Yang’s company, and now not only did he have to return what he had taken, but also pay thirty billion in compensation—this was unbearable for him.

Xu Yang said, "If you’re unwilling, then let it be. However, getting out of there might end up costing you much more than that, and besides, you’ll have to spend some time inside. Prison isn’t the place for someone of your status, and who knows what accidents might happen there. It would be best if you think it over carefully!"

Bai Kunyu’s face looked very unpleasant.

With Xu Yang’s capabilities, he could indeed make things difficult, and Bai Kunyu realized he had underestimated Xu Yang.

After a long silence, he finally said, "Fine, I’ll return the company to you and compensate you with thirty billion!"

After saying that, he immediately hung up the phone.

Not long after, a leader came in, "The suspect has settled with the victim, temporarily release him."

Bai Kunyu left the patrol bureau straight away and returned to his company.

Then, the asset handover began.

Bai Kunyu considered going back on his word but, remembering Xu Yang’s methods and that the police had only mentioned a temporary release, he dismissed the thought and went through with the asset transfer earnestly, compensating thirty billion.

It wasn’t long before Xu Yang received news that the company had returned and the thirty billion was in hand.

The next steps were to be handled by Ma Yangrong.

Checking the time, it was lunchtime, so Xu Yang went out to eat alone.

On his way back from lunch, as he was about to cross the street, suddenly a sports car sped toward him.

It wasn’t aiming for him but rather an old man not far ahead of him.

The old man’s legs were not agile, and he was using a walking stick. Faced with the onrushing sports car, he simply couldn’t react in time.

He wanted to dodge, but his legs wouldn’t keep up.

Just as he was about to be hit by the sports car, suddenly a hand pulled him away.

The sports car whooshed by, crashing into a roadside tree.

With a bang, the front of the sports car was smashed to pieces.

"Are you okay, sir?" Xu Yang saw that the old man’s face was pale and his forehead was sweaty; worried that he was scared, he quickly asked.

"I’m fine." The old man came to his senses and hurriedly thanked him, "Young man, thank you. If it weren’t for you, my old bones would have been laid to rest right here."@@novelbin@@

After speaking, his face still held a trace of fear.

The incident was too dangerous. If Xu Yang hadn’t pulled him out of the way, the sports car would have hit him, and with his frail body, he was certain to have died right there.

"As long as you’re okay. What I did was nothing, just lending a hand," Xu Yang waved it off.

At this moment, a young man got out of the sports car, rubbing his head and running over furiously, he pointed at the old man and scolded, "You old bastard, you almost killed me just now, my car is wrecked now, what are you going to do about it!"

His name was Lin Xiaohui. He had been drinking with friends at noon and had dozed off. When he awoke, this had happened.

"I... I..." Faced with the young man’s fury, the elderly man couldn’t utter a word.

Xu Yang couldn’t stand it any longer and intervened, "Brother, you were driving so fast and even hit the sidewalk. It’s clearly your fault. Coming here to blame this old man is as if he made you crash your car. Aren’t you getting something wrong?"

"Fuck!" Lin Xiaohui glanced at Xu Yang and suddenly burst into rage, "Your damn father hasn’t even settled the score with you, and here you are, talking about me. If it wasn’t for this old fart here, would my car have hit the tree?!"

Xu Yang knew the other party was merely arguing for the sake of arguing and didn’t want to waste words with this sort of person, "It’s alright, old man, you can go."

"This..." The old man looked at the young man, somewhat hesitant.

"Go what go? I wrecked my car, it’s his responsibility. You telling him to go, you plan to take responsibility for him?" Lin Xiaohui said.

"Yes, I’ll take responsibility for him," Xu Yang nodded.

"Okay, I don’t have time to argue with an old bastard, lest I get criticized for not respecting the elderly," Lin Xiaohui said, "Old bastard, scram."

The old man looked at Xu Yang, wanted to say something, but Xu Yang gestured with his hand, "Go ahead, sir, I’ll be fine. This is not something suitable for you to get involved with, I will handle it."

"Young man, thank you." The old man bowed to Xu Yang and then left with his walking stick.

Watching the old man leave, Lin Xiaohui turned to Xu Yang with a sneer, "Kid, tell me, how are you going to handle things for the old man?"

Xu Yang didn’t answer Lin Xiaohui’s question, but instead asked, "I’m wondering, have you always been so arrogant and overbearing?"

Lin Xiaohui was taken aback, then burst into laughter, "Kid, you got that right, I am just like that, arrogant and overbearing, what about it?"

Xu Yang asked, "Where does your confidence come from?"

Lin Xiaohui replied proudly, "Hahaha, that’s a good question! My father is Lin Lijian, the boss of Lijian Group. The group is worth over fifty billion. Impressive, isn’t it? And my father knows many business magnates. That’s my confidence.

People like you will never catch up to me in a lifetime!"
