Chapter 498: You’re an Abandoned Child!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
From her tone, Yue Zhongqun knew that she did not intend to give up. He said indifferently, “How can there be so many opportunities for you in this world? Someone has already found out about my relationship with the Tang family. If I help you now, wouldn’t I be courting death?”
Is this a rejection?
Tang Wenyi said in confusion, “Didn’t Old Master say that you could help me resolve my predicament? Why did you reject me? Didn’t the two of you agree? No matter how much you don’t like me, you have to help me on Old Master’s account, right? Do you want to break up with the Tang family?”
“What did you say?”
Yue Zhongqun said sarcastically, “Now that the Tang family has fallen, I can’t wait to cut ties with you. After all, I’m also afraid that I’ll be the next unlucky person! As for Old Tang, he asked me to give you a chance to talk. Whether I help you or not has always been in my hands!”
Tang Wenyi: ???
So she had to rely on herself after all this time? As expected, everyone kicked a man who was down. The old man was not helpful at all! Who didn’t know that Tang Boyan was helpless! Now that all the cooperation of the Tang family had come to a standstill, where would he find the time to help an abandoned child of the family?
It was already his limit that he could be contacted!
She took a few deep breaths in an attempt to calm herself down and asked curiously, “I don’t quite understand. Why did Old Master ask me to look for you? I remember that you work at the police station, right?”
What use could the police station be now? They couldn’t arrest all the people who are ‘mongering’ her online, could they? Isn’t this obviously treating the symptoms but not the root cause? Besides, this isn’t the best execution plan.
Tang Wenyi felt that the old master couldn’t have given up on her. She shook her head subconsciously. It was impossible. The old master couldn’t do this to her!
Yue Zhongqun’s gaze instantly became subtle. “You came over without knowing anything. Third Miss, why do you make me feel like you don’t have a brain every time you say something? Old Tang naturally wants me to help you seek political refuge. This way, you can go to another country to avoid the limelight. After all, you might be arrested at any time if you stay in China.”
He paused for a moment and continued, “I’ve already received news that there will be a full meeting in a few days. I think it’s probably about Xingwei Preventive Medicine, right? At that time, the higher-ups will officially issue an arrest warrant, and you will become a wanted criminal that everyone wants to beat up. Do you understand?”
A wanted criminal?!
These words caused a huge wave in Tang Wenyi’s heart. She widened her eyes in shock. How did she go from a dignified young lady of a prestigious family to a wanted criminal? She wondered how the old master actually had the heart to watch from the side. If the old master knew what she was thinking, he would definitely whip her with his walking stick!
What did she mean by watching from the side? Wasn’t it all thanks to Tang Wenyi that the Tang family had fallen to this state? Now, he had already done his best, but he was still scolded by his third daughter, this ingrate! He wasn’t bold enough to lose his family to begin with. It was already good enough that he didn’t beat Tang Wenyi up before she left!
Tang Wenyi, on the other hand, was completely immersed in her thoughts. When she made a comeback, she wanted to see who else would look down on her! Thinking of this, she suddenly raised her head, her eyes burning. She said firmly, “Uncle Yue, please help me! Approve my application for political asylum! This should be quite simple for you, right?”
She knew a little about political asylum. Because of objective political factors, she was persecuted, and she fled to another country and was allowed to stay in another country. Even if the police really chased after her, those people couldn’t do anything to her! Although she wasn’t persecuted, who wouldn’t make up stories? The more miserable she was, the easier it was to pass! Therefore, she planned to find an extremely miserable story for her application!
Coincidentally, she knew a big shot in this field. As long as Yue Lingqun was willing to help, she would be safe! After that, when she saved up enough money, she would be able to fight her way back to the country! She immediately realized that this was the benefit of her identity and couldn’t help but feel a little smug. Indeed, the lives of the poor were the most worthless in this world!
Yue Zhongqun was silent for a long time. He spun the teapot beside him and said, “The risk is too high. It’s not that I don’t want to help, but the conditions don’t allow it. I think you should forget it. If you make a mistake, the punishment would be severe. This time, no one is willing to clean up your mess.”
In any case, he didn’t want to help Third Miss Tang no matter what. This matter was neither big nor small. As long as he cleaned up the mess, both sides would be able to get through it safely. But if anything happened in the process, they would be forced to accept the investigation from the higher-ups! He didn’t want the position he had painstakingly obtained to be gone just like that, and it wouldn’t benefit him at all.
“Approving your application will do more harm than good. Even if Old Tang comes personally today, I won’t agree. However, I don’t think he will come over either. This is because the Tang family is in a mess now. How can they have the time to meet you, an abandoned child? You should find another way.”
She was clearly only one step away from escaping the sea of misery, but she could not get through no matter what. Tang Wenyi’s mood sank to rock bottom. She looked at him pleadingly and said, “No, you can’t do this to me! Just help me this once. After I successfully leave, I’ll give you whatever you want! How about that?”
“But you don’t seem to have anything now, do you? It’s just an empty check.”
Yue Zhongqun said rather realistically. He relaxed and leaned against the soft sofa cushion. In the next second, Luo Xiangwen, who had been silent all this while, suddenly walked forward and placed two black leather suitcases in front of him respectfully. Then he opened them and said, “60 million. This is the reward that the old master asked me to give you. Now, can you agree?”
The reason why he didn’t take it out from the beginning was because he wanted Third Miss to have a memorable lesson. He didn’t want her to cause any more trouble. The Tang family couldn’t afford to be tormented!
Instantly, Tang Wenyi couldn’t help but gasp. So the old master had already expected this scene? It would be a lie to say that she wasn’t touched, but she was more ecstatic and excited! She was finally saved! Yue Lingqun’s eyes lit up. He looked at the cash and then at her. “Old Tang really put in all his effort for you. Unfortunately…
“You’re a hopeless case.”
He casually picked up a stack of banknotes and said with a satisfied expression, “I can help you with this matter, but I want 3% of the Tang family’s shares. As long as you agree, I’ll immediately agree to let you leave China and head to Justice Island.”
“No problem!”
Tang Wenyi agreed without thinking. Luo Xiangwen seemed to want to say something, but in the end, he swallowed his words. Since Third Miss had agreed, what else could he say?
