The Amazing Son-in-Law [The Charismatic Charlie Wade] (Chinese name) Chapter: 4515

Charlie Wade frowned and asked, “What does it matter to you if you agree or not? I never said you had to pay the money. Your godfather assigned you this task. If you want to agree, that’s up to you. It’s your godfather.”

Zhong Yunqiu realized that Charlie Wade was using his godfather, Hong Yuanshan, to do his dirty work. In the future, if money was needed, it would be Hong Yuanshan handling it, while Charlie Wade would stay out of it.

This thought made Zhong Yunqiu feel defeated. He saw Charlie Wade as a ruthless person who would take everything without remorse. Ten billion dollars in ten years felt like it would drain him completely.

Feeling desperate, he pleaded with Charlie Wade, “Mr. Ye, please reduce the amount. Ten billion dollars in ten years is too much for me. Five billion dollars in ten years would be more manageable. I promise I can handle that!”

Charlie Wade responded, “Zhong Yunqiu, I’ve done my homework before coming here. You have assets worth around 60 to 70 billion Hong Kong dollars, and your business is thriving. You’re making billions in profit each year. So, giving one billion dollars to your godfather annually shouldn’t be a problem at all. Even after paying, you’ll still be living comfortably.”

He paused for a moment and then added coldly, “So, I suggest you don’t be stingy. Money is nice, but in the grand scheme of things, it doesn’t mean much!”

Zhong Yunqiu understood then that Charlie Wade wouldn’t let him off easily. Ten billion in ten years seemed unavoidable. If he tried to escape this deal, he feared that an angry Hong Yuanshan could make his life miserable.

Charlie Wade turned to Hong Yuanshan and said, “From now on, you will be the fundraising manager of Wanlong Palace. Your job is to raise funds, but I suggest you focus on your son. As long as you don’t make any mistakes, I will support you. If your subordinates refuse to follow your orders or if someone threatens your life, I, Charlie Wade, will back you up.”

Hong Yuanshan realized that Charlie Wade was offering him support. He knew that if he lost control of Hongmen or if Zhong Yunqiu hired someone to attack him, he could be in serious trouble. With Charlie’s assurance, the members of Hongmen would think twice before acting against him, and Zhong Yunqiu would also hesitate.

However, Charlie made it clear that this support was only valid if Hong Yuanshan stayed out of trouble. He could not use Wanlong Palace to intimidate others. Nonetheless, this was enough for Hong Yuanshan. After today’s harsh lesson, he understood that he had to be more careful in the future.

Meanwhile, Zhong Yunqiu felt hopeless. He realized that he couldn’t openly confront Hong Yuanshan anymore. In the past, he would have tried to spend a lot of money to hire someone to fight Hong Yuanshan and then leave Hong Kong Island to protect his assets. But now that Hong Yuanshan was raising funds for Wanlong Palace, he knew that any conflict would bring Wanlong Palace into the fight, and they wouldn’t remain neutral.

In simple terms, Charlie Wade had created a strong network that linked everything together, making it hard for Zhong Yunqiu to act freely. So, he reluctantly agreed and said, “Mr. Ye, understood.”

“I promise…I’ll do my best to raise funds next time,” Zhong Yunqiu said, trying to assure everyone.

Charlie Wade responded coldly, “What are you telling me? Are you being honest? Did I ask you for money?”

“Yes, yes…” Zhong Yunqiu quickly slapped his own face and added, “I spoke out of turn. Please forgive me, Mr. Ye.”

After that, he turned to Hong Yuanshan and said respectfully, “Godfather, don’t worry. I will do everything I can to raise the funds. I won’t let you down.”
