Chapter: 2979

When I heard that Charlie Wade was about to break his legs and make him crawl to Yanjing, Zhong Tianyu felt a rush of excitement. He had been part of the elite social circle in Yenching for over 20 years. From what he knew, the people in this group were often arrogant and ruthless, but they usually reserved their harshness for outsiders. When it came to others within their circle, they tended to show some restraint.

For instance, Zhong Tianyu rarely bullied others or harmed them. Sure, he had done it a few times, but only to those who were much weaker and had less influence than him. He believed that if they were to change their ways, everyone in the circle would need to respect one another. After all, they all had money and power, and their businesses often intertwined. It was clear that they needed to maintain good relationships with each other, and this had become an unspoken rule among them.

However, Zhong Tianyu noticed that Charlie Wade didn’t seem to care about these unwritten rules. So, he blurted out, “Charlie Wade, if you really break my legs, my family won’t forgive you. You’ll be shunned by everyone in our circle. But if you admit your mistake and pay a little more, I can let you go!”

Charlie Wade replied calmly, “I’ve already given you two choices. You need to pick one. If you don’t decide in a few minutes, your first choice will turn into a three-year option, while the second choice will stay the same.”

Seeing that Charlie Wade was unyielding, Zhong Tianyu quickly shouted into his phone, “Auntie Ye, please help me out here! Auntie Ye…”

Ye Changmin sighed and said, “Tianyu, I advise you…”

“You need to make your choice quickly. If you wait too long, the time will change from two years to three years, and I’m worried that you won’t be able to handle that,” Ye Changmin said firmly.

She continued, “You can’t pick the second option, no matter what. Don’t think that Charlie Wade is just playing around. If he says something, he means it. He won’t change his mind even if you try to backtrack. Just look at Kong Delong from your family. He disrespected Charlie Wade and ended up biking from Yanjing to Jinling, living in the worst slum there. His life is worse than that of a beggar…”

After being warned by Charlie Wade, Ye Changmin started looking into his actions. The more she found out, the more afraid she became of him. So, as someone who had experienced this firsthand, she wanted to help Zhong Tianyu make the best decision.

In her view, the best thing Zhong Tianyu could do was to quickly accept the first option Charlie Wade offered. Otherwise, things would only get worse.

When Zhong Tianyu heard Ye Changmin mention Kong Delong, he was taken aback. He and Kong Delong had been good friends. They had spent a lot of time together until one day, Kong Delong suddenly went off the deep end. He started wearing a green helmet and rode a bike out of Yanjing. Everyone thought he was losing his mind, but Zhong Tianyu now realized that it was all because of Charlie Wade.

This made him feel even more envious of Charlie Wade. However, he couldn’t accept the idea of becoming a seaman for two years. For someone like him, who grew up wealthy, spending his days enjoying life was paradise. The thought of being stuck on a boat, facing nothing but the endless sea every day, sounded incredibly boring.

Charlie Wade had kept Zhong Tianyu from leaving for two years. It felt like imprisonment to him. Just when he was feeling lost, Charlie reminded him, “It’ll be a minute soon!”

Zhong Tianyu suddenly felt panicked. He wasn’t sure if he should go with Charlie’s first option. He didn’t want to be manipulated like this. He was hoping that his father would come to rescue him once he found out what was happening.

As he hesitated, Ye Changmin, who was on the other end of the phone, spoke up urgently, “Tianyu, make sure to get the best deal before you decide! If you don’t, you might lose even more!”
