Chapter 673: What Can You Do to Me?
The answer was obvious, the only one with the motive and ability to push for such a rapid trial was Xu Yang.
This fact only deepened their regret.
Trying to kidnap the wife of a hundred-billionaire like Xu Yang was nothing short of a death wish.
But now, any regret was too late.
What lay ahead of them was a bleak life behind bars.
Not long after entering prison, He Chengan was called out by a prison guard, who said someone was looking for him.
He was taken to a room where he met a young man in a suit and leather shoes.
"Who are you, and what do you want with me?"
Shao Dazhi sized up the suited youth, realizing he didn't recognize him at all, not even a slight impression.
He truly didn't know what the other party wanted with him.
"Mr. He, hello, I'm a lawyer, and my client asked me to meet with you," the young lawyer did not reveal his name.
"Who is your client?" He Chengan asked.
Could it be a friend trying to bail him out?
But he didn't seem to have any particularly powerful friends.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be worried about work and wouldn't have been led astray by Shao Dazhi to commit kidnapping.
"I apologize, Mr. He, but my client does not wish to reveal his identity," the lawyer said with a smile.
"Then what does your client want you to do by coming to see me?" He Chengan asked.
"To show you something." The lawyer smiled faintly, took out a tablet computer from his briefcase, swiped a few times, and placed it in front of He Chengan.
Upon seeing the contents, He Chengan's face instantly turned pale.
He hurriedly swiped on the tablet screen.
The more he looked, the worse He Chengan's expression became.
It became so dark, it was as if he was going to bleed from his face.
The lawyer was showing him some pictures, intimate photos of Chen Yaqian and Shao Dazhi.
"According to our investigation," the lawyer said with a smile, "Mr. Shao Dazhi and Ms. Chen Yaqian are not really cousins. They were a couple before, and reconnected three years ago. During these three years, they've been maintaining a secret relationship. It was Ms.
Chen Yaqian who fabricated the identity of a cousin for Shao Dazhi, so he could openly be in your presence."
"This pair of treacherous dogs!" He Chengan gnashed his teeth, wishing he could kill Shao Dazhi on the spot.
"Speaking of which, I find it rather pitiful for you to be cuckolded without even being aware, and even now sitting in prison, it's all thanks to Shao Dazhi. You used to defend him at every turn, and now you must feel quite suffocated," the lawyer remarked lightheartedly.
"What is your client trying to imply by telling me all this?" He Chengan asked.
"There's no special meaning to it, just that as a man, to be in your position, it might be better to be dead. But even if one were to die, shouldn't they take out Shao Dazhi too? What do you think?" the lawyer suggested.
"Does your client want me to kill Shao Dazhi?" He Chengan, not being foolish, quickly grasped the lawyer's intent. "I understand now. Your client must be Xu Yang. Xu Yang wants to eliminate the threat, wanting me to kill Shao Dazhi!"
"Mr. He," the lawyer said smiling, "as I mentioned, I won't reveal who my client is. How you guess is your business."
He Chengan scoffed, "Xu Yang wants to use me. That's quite the scheme, but I won't fall for it."
"Mr. He, what you do is your decision," the lawyer responded. "I've just come on my client's behalf to inform you of these matters. Now that I've done so, goodbye."
With that, the lawyer stood up and left without any hesitation.
He Chengan was taken back to his cell.
Returning to his cell, he lay on his bed, silent.
Though the lawyer hadn't confirmed it, he was almost certain that Xu Yang had sent him.
To use him to deal with Shao Dazhi.
He truly wanted Shao Dazhi dead.
After all, his current incarceration was Shao Dazhi's fault.
What's more despicable was that Shao Dazhi had cuckolded him.
But if he were to kill Shao Dazhi, he would likely have to die as well.
He Chengan's gaze flickered unsurely, and his mind wavered.
...
The lawyer returned to the company and went to Xu Yang's office to report the situation.
"Mr. Xu, I have shown those photos to He Chengan and conveyed your message," the lawyer said.
"Good," Xu Yang nodded with satisfaction.
Those photos were obtained through his hacking skills.
To deal with He Chengan and the other two, he had dug up some dirt on them.
He found something he believed he could use.
"Mr. Xu, will this method work? Will He Chengan really take action against Shao Dazhi?" the lawyer expressed his doubts.
"Don't worry, he will take action. The seed has been sown; it will take root and sprout," Xu Yang replied with a faint smile, not at all concerned about He Chengan not making a move.
For now, He Chengan might still restrain himself, but the more he thought about it, the deeper his hatred would grow.
Especially in a prison environment.
Of course, if He Chengan didn't take action, Xu Yang had other plans—he could get other prisoners to do it.
In any case, he would not let any of the three get away with it.
He would not forgive anyone who threatened the safety of his family.
...
The next day.
In the prison, during the exercise time.
He Chengan found Shao Dazhi, wrapped his arm around Shao Dazhi's shoulder, and led him to a corner.
"Brother-in-law, what are you doing?" Shao Dazhi asked.
"I have some questions for you," He Chengan said, his eyes flickering with a cold light.
He hardly slept the previous night, his mind occupied with these matters.
The more he thought about it, the more he seethed with resentment.
His life used to be good, but Shao Dazhi had turned everything upside down.
If it weren't for Shao Dazhi, he wouldn't have been fired, wouldn't have gotten involved in a kidnapping, and wouldn't be in prison.
Shao Dazhi had also cuckolded him.
This was something he could not tolerate.
His life was already ruined, and he was determined to make Shao Dazhi pay.
Although he knew Xu Yang was trying to use him, he himself felt it was the right thing to do.
Shao Dazhi asked, "What is it?"
He Chengan asked coldly, "Have you been having an affair with my wife?"
Shao Dazhi's face changed, "Brother-in-law, what are you talking about? That's my cousin; how could I possibly have an affair with her?"
This was something he could never admit. Stay connected with My Virtual Library Empire
He had no idea how He Chengan had come to know about it.
Logically, he shouldn't have known.
If he had known, he wouldn't have participated in the kidnapping with him.
He Chengan would have exploded long ago, right?
What exactly was going on?
"Heh heh heh," He Chengan chuckled coldly, a laugh that sent shivers down one's spine, "Shao Dazhi, if you admitted it, I wouldn't do anything to you. I just want confirmation."
Shao Dazhi clenched his teeth and said, "Brother-in-law, I don't know where you heard this nonsense, but I can tell you, it's utter rubbish. How could I possibly have such a relation with my cousin?"
He Chengan's cold laughter continued, "Even at this point, you still won't admit it? I already know the truth. You and my wife aren't cousins at all; you were lovers before, and for the past three years, you've maintained a romantic relationship. You've made a fool of me for three years, and you're also the reason I'm in prison. Do you think you can get away with it just by denying it?"
Hearing this, Shao Dazhi knew that everything was completely exposed, and denial was no longer useful.
Moreover, now that he was already in prison, he had no reason to fear He Chengan anymore. They were the same kind of people now, and what could admitting it change?
So, he boldly shrugged off He Chengan's hand, "That's right, I've been sleeping with your wife, and she and I aren't cousins; we were lovers. What are you going to do about it?"
