Chapter 997: Chapter 685: Pulling Strings?
Rong Si wanted to speak, glancing at the surveillance camera in the left corner of the room... and closed his mouth.
"Dad, I’ve already decided. Please ease your mind... imprisonment is not the most terrifying thing."
Rong Jing’s words were calm, but in Rong Si’s eyes at this moment, there was only a haggard son, only a son who suffered in the detention center.
Rong Jing had become thin, a stubble appeared on his face, and it looked as if a layer of gray was covering his face, no longer the bright and spirited demeanor of the eldest son of the Rong Family.
Although no improper interrogation techniques were used on him at the detention center, spending days there, not appearing worn out was impossible.
It’s simply the love of a parent, the suffering Rong Jing endured was magnified several times in his father’s heart.
Rong Si couldn’t understand Rong Jing’s decision for a moment, pondering repeatedly, suddenly realizing,
"Did Yin Shixiu come to see you? Did he tell you something? What means did he use to make you..."
"Father."
Rong Jing looked up, his gaze still shrewd,
"You’re at an age where you could say not old, but not young... As long as I show a good attitude of confession and serve my sentence well in prison, I could get out in just two years."
"Jing’er, if father served those two years in prison for you, it would be worthwhile, but you’re in your prime, to delay for two years at this age, and now Yin Shixiu and his wife are watching the Rong Family like hawks, after two years when you come out, the Rong Family may not retain its powerful status."
"Father is old, evidently feeling that many things... his heart is willing but the power is lacking."
"The foundation of the Rong Family, the family’s reputation, and prestige, including this Rong Group... Father might truly be unable to preserve it."
"When you get out from prison, your life record will already be marked with this indelible note... Jing’er, by then you will surely regret..."
Rong Si spoke earnestly.
That day, Yin Shiqing brought two boxes of new tea to apologize, regarding how to save Rong Jing, Yin Shiqing had already provided a clear plan.
As long as Rong Jing gritted his teeth and stayed silent, the charges Yin Shixiu brought against him, he would deny.
Yin Shiqing would find a scapegoat to take all the charges, ensuring Rong Jing could come out was not impossible.
Yin Shiqing was still smart enough to know that at this moment, it’s absolutely unwise to offend the Rong Family, Rong Si was rather grateful Yin Shiqing came to him again to apologize.
In this way, he could both ensure Rong Jing safely came out from detention and not agree to the unequal treaty proposed by Yin Shixiu.
He wants to acquire the Rong Group?
Fine, let’s fight a tough battle, even if the Rong Group’s chances are slim, dragging down the Yin Family by half a life is necessary.
But he never thought that he and Yin Shiqing’s plan was well devised, while Rong Jing in the detention center became a major variable.
"If it’s really Yin Shixiu who brainwashed you, Jing’er, you must be clear about this, your mother and I only have you as a son."
"..."
"Your second uncle’s entire family isn’t easy. If you stay in prison for two years, when you come out, whether you’ll still be the head of the Rong Family, even your father being one, becomes a question..."
Rong Jing listened to his father say this, his heart was not without wavering.
Rong Si saw his son silent and immediately intensified his persuasion,
"Jing’er, don’t think about anything, Dad will arrange everything, you just need to..."
"Too late."
"...Wha, what is too late?"
Rong Si’s heart sank, staring intensely at Rong Jing.
"I’ve already told Bai Sidong everything, the confession has been recorded, footage, recordings, including the written statement, I signed it."
"..."
"Otherwise, do you think Bai Sidong would allow you to visit me?"
Rong Jing’s lips curled into a slight smile.
"Jing’er, what... did you say?"
"I spoke the truth, I was aware and didn’t report the Tianjin Port kidnapping case, took advantage of the chaos, but did not participate in the planning. The masterminds were Shi Shengde and Wu Rong."
Rong Jing shrugged,
"As for what additional charges Yin Shixiu and Su Xiaomeng might want to add, we’ll have to wait until the court trial to find out."
Listening to Rong Jing’s words, Rong Si felt these words were like illusions...
Rong Si felt dizzy, as if the world was spinning.
"If they insist on increasing your charges, you..."
"I’ve already given up my shares in the Rong Group, if they continue to push... At least, that’s not Su Xiaomeng style."
"Su Xiaomeng? Now that Yin Shixiu is back, what does Su Xiaomeng’s decision even count for?"
Rong Si heavily slapped the table, abruptly standing up,
