Mistaking My Sister-In-Law for My Wife After Getting Drunk!

Chapter 613: Chapter 613: Don’t Need Your Friendship
 

Upon receiving the news of the arrest of Big Blade and Sun Honghai, Xu Yang and Wang Xiaocong smiled with satisfaction.

Xu Yang said with a smile, “Let’s go have dinner. We’ve been busy all afternoon. I’m starving.”

The two went to the hotel restaurant for dinner and then returned to their hotel room.

Wang Xiaocong asked, “Xu Yang, we’re leaving tomorrow, do you want to go out for a walk?”

Xu Yang shook his head, “What’s there to see for two grown men?”

Indeed, there wasn’t much for two grown men to stroll around for.

If he were with his wife, it might be nice to go out for a walk.

At that moment, the doorbell rang.

Wang Xiaocong answered the door and raised an eyebrow at the sight of the two men standing at the door.

One was Sun Hongjiang, the heir to the Sun Family, and the other was the renowned Mr. Xiang.

Wang Xiaocong recognized the two men from the news, but he had never met them in person before.

“Mr. Xiang, Young Master Sun, I truly didn’t expect to meet you here,” Wang Xiaocong greeted them, somewhat emotionally.

These two had quite a reputation in Harbor City.

Sun Hongjiang, the heir to the Sun Family, was often in the news.

It was said that he would become the Family Head of the Sun Family after the New Year.

As for Mr. Xiang, there was even less need to mention him.

Mr. Xiang was not only often in the news, but he had also produced many of Harbor City’s classic films.

Mr. Xiang himself had acted in several movies, playing both leading and supporting roles, with some performances leaving a very deep impression.

Mr. Xiang had another identity—he was a big shot of the New Yi underworld.

Of course, now Mr. Xiang had gradually concealed that identity and become a social celebrity.

Unlike Big Blade and his ilk, he was someone who couldn’t be seen in respectable society.

Mr. Xiang said very politely, “Young Master Wang, it’s a pleasure to meet you. Is President Xu here?”

Sun Hongjiang followed up with, “Young Master Wang Xiaocong, I’m pleased to meet you.”

Originally, Mr. Xiang had planned to come to talk to Xu Yang tomorrow and to ask him not to retaliate against 15K.

However, he had just received the news that Big Blade’s escape attempt had failed and the police had captured him.

With no other choice, he had put aside his work to talk with Xu Yang.

He had two purposes in looking for Xu Yang: one was to ask Xu Yang not to pursue Big Blade any further, and the second was not to take revenge on 15K.

He believed that with his status and position, it would be very simple to achieve both purposes by visiting in person.

After all, he was also a figure of some standing in Harbor City, Xu Yang should give him some face.

Sun Hongjiang’s purpose in seeking out Xu Yang was singular—to ask Xu Yang not to pursue Sun Honghai.

He had come rushing over after hearing about Sun Honghai’s arrest and clearing up the situation.

He and Mr. Xiang had encountered each other at the hotel entrance; without needing to speak, both knew what the other was there for, and they came up together.

“He is, come in,” said Xu Yang.

Wang Xiaocong could basically guess what the two were here for and let them into the room.

Seeing the arrival of the two men, Xu Yang was somewhat surprised, but he quickly surmised their purpose.

Xu Yang said, “Mr. Xiang, I’ve long heard of your great reputation. I didn’t expect to meet you here. Are you here to advocate for 15K?”

Mr. Xiang smiled, “Not exactly an advocate, I simply do what I think I should do.”

Xu Yang uttered an “oh” and looked at Sun Hongjiang, “Mr. Sun, what about you?”

Sun Hongjiang smiled, “I am also doing some things that I think should be done.”

“Alright.” Xu Yang said, “Now, both of you can tell me what it is you want to do.”

Mr. Xiang said, “Mr. Xu, Big Knife intended to harm you and disable one of your legs; that was his mistake, one he deeply regrets. I hope you can consider my face and let him off, and also, to stop targeting 15K.”

Xu Yang’s eyebrows rose, “Let him off, stop targeting 15K? You mean to say, the incident where I was nearly crippled, we should just let it go?”

Mr. Xiang said, “15K is willing to provide you with a certain amount of financial compensation.”@@novelbin@@

Xu Yang asked, “How much compensation?”

Mr. Xiang extended a finger, “One billion.”

Xu Yang chuckled, “Mr. Xiang, you should be aware of my net worth. You’re just compensating me with a small goal; is my leg that cheap?”

Mr. Xiang frowned slightly, “Mr. Xu, one billion is already a lot. Most people in this world have never seen a billion.”

Xu Yang said, “Then let me ask you, if I ordered someone to disable your leg and they failed, and then I compensated you with a billion, would you just let it go?”

Mr. Xiang’s face changed color, and he unwillingly said, “Yes.”

Had anyone dared to do such a thing to him, he would have thrown them into the sea to feed the fish.

But it wasn’t him now, and of course, he had to give Xu Yang an affirmative answer.

Xu Yang gave a thumbs-up, “Mr. Xiang is truly magnanimous, I lack such generosity, so I apologize, but I cannot accept your proposal.”

Mr. Xiang’s frown deepened, ready to say something else.

At that moment, Xu Yang already turned to Sun Hongjiang and asked, “Mr. Sun, tell me about the things you think you should do.”

Sun Hongjiang said, “Mr. Xu, I apologize on behalf of my brother for what he did to you, and I hope you will drop the pursuit of my brother’s responsibility. I will also compensate you with one billion.”

Xu Yang, somewhat speechless, “Another small goal for financial compensation, did you guys collude on this?”

Sun Hongjiang said, “No, we didn’t discuss it, but Mr. Xiang and I share the same objective, which is to save someone. Perhaps with the same objective in mind, our compensations are the same.”

Xu Yang said, “Do you think I would accept your compensation?”

Sun Hongjiang said, “Mr. Xu, it’s better to resolve enmity rather than perpetuate it. If you forgo pursuing my brother’s responsibility, you won’t only receive one billion in damages, but also gain the friendship of the Sun Family—one of the Eight Great Families in Harbor City. Should your business expand to Harbor City, the Sun Family is willing to provide every convenience!”

Mr. Xiang added, “I feel the same way. As long as you don’t pursue Big Knife and 15K’s responsibility, not only will you receive one billion in financial compensation, but you will also gain the friendship of both me and 15K. If you need anything in Harbor City, just give me a shout, and I’ll resolve it for you!”

Xu Yang looked at the two men, smiled again, and shook his head, “I’m sorry, I don’t need your friendship. Please offer your friendship to someone else.”

Harbor City is just that, a city.

These two people just happen to be influential in Harbor City.

He reckoned he wouldn’t visit Harbor City many times in his lifetime.

Whether or not his business expands to Harbor City, he didn’t really care.

The market in China is vast, the worldwide market is vast, whether or not there’s a market in Harbor City, it truly doesn’t matter.

So, he really didn’t need these two people’s friendship.

If the Sun Family could have the likes of Sun Honghai and Sun Hongyang, he could well imagine the caliber of the Sun Family’s other members.

As for Mr. Xiang, even more needless to say, Xu Yang didn’t care to have any relationship with Mr. Xiang.

Perhaps others would think Mr. Xiang had become a public figure.

But in his eyes, Mr. Xiang still couldn’t shed his underworld aura.

Despite arriving here dressed decently today, he still behaves like an underworld boss.

Befriending such a person not only brings no benefits but could also potentially bring trouble upon himself.
