Chapter 639: AN OLD DOG

Master Wang was livid as he looked at the door that slammed behind his son’s back. He wished that Wang Che was younger because he would have had the chance to discipline him. Now, he had to bow down to the brat.

“He is playing with us.” He turned to his eldest son.

Wang Lu had a calm expression on his face. He was not fazed by everything that happened. He had expected Wang Che to be prepared for them. They were not going to get the money so easily.

“I am sure he will come around. At heart, he is a good person. He will not abandon his family.” Wang Lu said.

Master Wang was displeased with the placid attitude. “You have all but taken all the power in the company. You should be more worried about this. If we do not get the funds soon, we will lose a lot of clients. And we have to pay a fee for breaching the contract.”

Wang Lu did not show signs of annoyance or displeasure.

“Father, your attitude makes it more difficult for Wang Che to come to our side.” He smiled a little mysteriously. “You underestimate the power in Wang Che’s hands. And even if he did not have power, he has powerful friends.”

.....

Master Wang snorted. “Apart from a connection with Zhong Feng, who else does he have?”

Wang Lu’s brows creased slightly. “You are getting too advanced in age, Father. You should probably take early retirement once we get the company in order.”

“You! What kind of son are you? I have given you everything you have!” Master Wang stood up. “Do you want to make me completely obsolete? Remember, I am your father.”

Wang Lu also stood up and buttoned his jacket. “Your outbursts have cost the business too much. I might have made a few wrong decisions, but your alienation of most of Supreme City is what put us in this position. Unfortunately, an old dog will not learn new tricks.”

“Who are you calling a dog?” Master Wang almost jumped.

“I have to meet with a client. Please take your time to enjoy the meal.” Wang Lu said before exiting the room.

Master Wang hit the table forcefully with his palm. “I must have been cursed to have these children. Not even one is good.”

After leaving the restaurant, Wang Che wondered if he should return to Azure Woods. However, he realised that it might look a little suspicious. At the moment, it was best if no one knew about Shun recovering his memories.

As Hu Lei pointed out, there was no need for anyone to harm Shun as long as he was the one with control of both their financial interests.

If someone found out that Shun was competent, some danger could befall him. Even with Zhong Feng’s resources, it was best to be cautious.

He thought for a while before driving to the downtown area of Supreme City. He went into one of the clubs that Wang Ning owned. Moreover, it was the place that his youngest brother frequented the most. He went in and sat at the bar.

He did not want a private room because he was trying to bait Wang Ning.

He knew he was taking a huge risk, but he had a gut feeling about his youngest brother, especially after his conversation with his father and eldest brother. He did not believe that someone as meticulous as Wang Ning would make low-key mistakes.

But that did not mean he trusted Wang Ning.

The young man did not have clean hands for sure. But Wang Che doubted that he was responsible for Shun’s accident.

“Rum and coke.” He said directly to the bartender with neon hair.

The tall man behind the bar, who looked at odds with his hairstyle, nodded before making the drink. He prepared the simple cocktail before placing it in front of Wang Che.

Wang Che looked at the brown liquid before lifting the glass to his mouth. He cringed inwardly at the unpleasant taste. He was more of a wine man. He did not like the harsh taste of spirits. He found them offensive to his tongue.

He always wondered how Hu Lei could down tequila like it was water. She even seemed to enjoy the burn of the alcohol. Of course, he would never mention his distaste for spirits to anyone. It would be quite embarrassing for people to know that a five-foot-nothing girl could handle more than he.

But again, the almighty Zhong Feng hardly drank. Wang Che could count the number of times he had seen him even take a sip of alcohol with his fingers. The entire situation was quite unusual and even slightly amusing.

He took another sip of his disgusting rum and coke.

His tongue felt slightly numb.

However, the more he drank, the less he found the taste objectionable. It was not pleasant, but he no longer needed to school his face intentionally. Once he finished, he lifted a finger to the bartender for another drink.

As he was waiting, a man in a suit walked up to him and spoke to him with a suspicious gaze.

“The boss would like to see you.” The obvious displeasure was clear.

Wang Che was a little tipsy from the run and lack of food. However, he was still clear-minded. He was surprised that Wang Ning was willing to reveal information about his position as the boss of the club. It was a good sign.

“Lead the way.” Wang Che stood up.

Three minutes later, Wang Che found himself in a private room with Wang Ning. The younger man had his usual amused expression on his face. He always looked like he was in on a joke about the human race or the universe.

“Che, I never pegged you for a rum man.” Wang Ning said. “I can guess most people’s alcohol preferences by a look. And you look like you enjoy high-end red wine. And perhaps, whiskey on occasion?”

Wang Che frowned. “It all ends up in the same way.”

Wang Ning laughed slightly. “On the contrary... There would be no need for the range if everything had the same effect. I would think that red wine makes you deep and brooding. Whiskey probably relaxes you. And as we can see now, rum brings about the grumpies.”

Wang Che felt irritated by the tone and words. However, he did not want to prove Wang Ning’s point.

“Cut the crap. You know why I am here.” He said.
