Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Spit it out. Which woman did you knocked up this time? It’s been several months, hasn’t it?” Li Zhenting gave him a cold, disdainful glance.
Well, he actually guessed it right this time, it was indeed about a child!
But not his child! It was his nephew!
Li Zhijun chuckled and scratched his head, wearing a bitter expression.
“Cousin, I’m in real trouble this time. Please, you must help me. I’ll owe you a big one in my next life.”
“Cut the crap and get to the point. 1 have things to do,” Li Zhenting was growing impatient.
Li Zhijun hesitated for a moment and then cautiously said, “It’s like this, cousin. My friend’s son has been kidnapped…”
Li Zhenting squinted at him and asked sarcastically, “Is it your friend’s son or your son?”
“Let’s just say he’s my son,” Li Zhijun replied, thinking of Shen Ning’s agonizing expression. If Li Zhenting found out Coco’s true identity, this guy would undoubtedly try to claim custody. Shen Ning would be in a pitiful situation. Li Zhijun decided to take responsibility for now and deal with things step by step.
“Your son?” Li Zhenting coughed dryly. “You have a son? An illegitimate child? Why have 1 never heard you mention this before?”
“Cousin, he is indeed my son, already five years old, and he has been living outside…” Li Zhijun tried to explain.
“You scoundrel! No wonder Hui Xian wants to divorce you,” Li Zhenting suddenly grabbed his shirt and raised his fist as if to strike him.
“Have mercy, cousin,” Li Zhijun covered his head with both hands. “I swear, it’s not my fault.”
Li Zhenting pounded his fist on the desk and shouted angrily, “Not your fault? Do you mean women get pregnant all by themselves?”
“Cousin, let’s save the discussion about how pregnancy happens for later. Right now, the most important thing is that my son has been kidnapped, and it’s a dire situation. Those people are demanding one billion in ransom and other conditions. 1 don’t have that kind of money, and you know that all my assets are controlled by Hui Xian. Brother, dear brother, you have to help me. My child is in grave danger, please think of a solution for me,” Li Zhijun cried out loudly, in a pitiable state.
Li Zhenting sneered, “Are you absolutely sure that’s your son?”
“Of course.”
“Then show me his photo and birth certificate. If it’s true, I’ll go back and discuss it with my mother before deciding whether to help him,” Li Zhenting wasn’t easily fooled, and he spoke with a calm tone.
Now Li Zhijun was at a loss for words.
“If you don’t have those, then just get lost. I don’t rescue other people’s bastards. I don’t have time to play this boring game with you,” he picked up his mouse and started browsing computer files.
“Cousin, do you have to be so ruthless?” Li Zhijun struggled to speak. “He’s just a five-year-old child, a life. Can you really turn a blind eye to someone in danger?”
“Why should I rescue him? People face danger every day in this world. Do you think 1 can save them all? I’m just a businessman, and the nature of businessmen is to make money. Besides, they’re asking for a billion. Do you think money falls from the sky for me?” Li Zhenting replied indifferently. “Do you think 1 have nothing better to do than save people every day? My only son wouldn’t have been kidnapped by thugs in the first place.”
Li Zhijun’s eyes widened. “What if it was your son?”
“Nonsense, could my son be kidnapped by kidnappers?” Li Zhenting’s face darkened with a chilling coldness. “You brat, have you had enough? Get out of here, or I’ll have you thrown out.”
Li Zhijun was left dumbfounded.
This guy’s heart was as cold-blooded as they come.
It seemed that only the truth would work!
But just as he was about to speak, two security guards approached.
The two security guards came over, each grabbing one of his arms and escorting him towards the exit..
