Chapter 998: Chapter 685: Pulling Strings? (2)
"Rong Jing, how could I have such a cowardly son like you?! Are you just ruining your own life? You’re ruining our Rong Family!"
"..."
Rong Si’s anger was like a raging fire, so intense that he wished he could set Rong Jing ablaze.
Rong Jing remained relatively calm, seeing his father like this, he looked up at the surveillance in the corner of the room and said,
"Please take my father out, the meeting is over."
"..."
Rong Si stood unsteadily, staring into Rong Jing’s eyes, which were filled with bloodshot veins.
He couldn’t believe it...
He couldn’t believe that he had been running around tirelessly outside, just to ensure that Rong Jing could safely come out of the detention center.
He did so much for the name of the Rong Family, for Rong Jing’s life...
In the end, Rong Jing didn’t even discuss with him and made this decision on his own!
Disappointment.
At this moment, there was only disappointment in the way Rong Si looked at Rong Jing.
The door to the interrogation room opened, and an officer came in to escort Rong Si out, while two other officers led Rong Jing back to his cell.
The father and son turned their backs to each other, going in two entirely different directions, neither of them turned their heads back.
The disappointment in the father’s eyes was glaringly obvious, and Rong Jing saw it clearly; never had his parents looked at him like this since he was a child.
The quietness of the detention center, the stillness of the cell, and yet Yin Shixiu’s words suddenly echoed in his ears...
"Ah Jing, you were born a nobleman. Even when you went to study in London back then, Old Sir Rong made sure all your needs were completely covered, so when have you ever suffered?"
The power and status of the Rong Family in Beijing were on par with the Yin Family.
If you only compare his father Rong Si’s branch, there’s still some gap compared to the Yin Family, but when it comes to the entire Rong clan, it’s indeed formidable.
Since he was born, he had never suffered, and any problems big or small that might have come up during his upbringing had been solved by his parents.
Precisely because of this, for thirty years, he almost shared the same thoughts as his father.
All the obstacles blocking the Rong Family were crushed, the Rong Family was powerful, feared no one...
As if whatever the issue was, the Rong Family could resolve it smoothly.
Step by step like this... the bolder he and everyone in the Rong Family became, the more arrogant and reckless they grew...
The cautious nature that was always nurtured was slowly replaced by arrogance.
That day, Yin Shixiu’s words woke him up as well.
His father was still immersed in the dream that the Rong Family could block out the sky with one hand, but he had already seen the situation clearly.
The opponent wasn’t an ordinary person; the opponent was Yin Shixiu, a man who couldn’t be killed even by a yacht rigged with explosives...
The means his father could think of, Yin Shixiu would too.
Putting in so much effort to get him released, then to fight an unwinnable, life-and-death struggle... was truly not a wise move.
On the contrary, it was time for the Rong Family to slow down, taking two years of calm might not be harmful.
What his father also cared about was the side family of Second Master Rong, afraid that the head of the entire family might be taken by the Second Elder’s branch.
This was understandable.
But it also echoed what Yin Shixiu had said before.
If living is all about comparing with others, living just to step over some people... in the end, the one being stepped over would just be oneself.
Rong Jing could have shared his considerations with Rong Si, but he didn’t.
A prisoner wearing shackles has no persuasive power.
Whether he would gain his parents’ understanding immediately or not, Rong Jing didn’t care...
Deng Wei could endure silently for fifteen years, and with a single strike, destroy Wu Rong.
Yin Shixiu hid in London for more than three months under the guise of being "dead"... even though the Yin Group faced enormous pressure, he could still hold steady.
Could Rong Jing not endure two or three years in prison?
This was a worthwhile trade, even if Rong Si didn’t agree now, time would prove... his choice wasn’t wrong.

After leaving the detention center, Rong Si seemed a bit uneasy.
Rong Jing had rashly confessed his guilt and recorded his statement.
The Rong Group was now like a dragon without a head, and the entire board was waiting...
Waiting for this kind of outcome.
Even Rong Si himself was having a hard time accepting it.
Leaning on a cane, dragging his two weak legs towards the private car, the driver hurriedly got out to open the car door for Rong Si,
"Sir."
He got into the car.
The driver asked, "Where should we go next? Home?"
