The Arrogant Young Master Targeted by the Overbearing President - Chapter 15

Chapter 15: That Dog-Thing, Dares to Lie to Me

It was precisely because of this that it wasn’t until three days later, under Assistant Zhang’s reminder, that he belatedly remembered that dog-thing Wang Fa was still locked in the storage room on the second basement level.

“President Lu,” Assistant Zhang said in a hurried tone, “Wang Fa can’t hold out any longer.”

Lu Siyang was somewhat surprised. He had originally thought that given Wang Fa’s cowardly nature, he would have confessed within half a day; he hadn’t expected him to hold out for two whole days.

He raised an eyebrow and asked, “Did he talk?”

Assistant Zhang shook his head: “No, he says he will only talk if he sees you.”

He’ll only talk if he sees me?

“Fine,” Lu Siyang stood up, slowly and methodically straightening his shirt collar, “then I’ll give Young Master Wang some face.”

As he walked toward the door, he said to Assistant Zhang, “With his brain capacity, I don’t believe for a second that there isn’t someone behind him giving instructions.”

“You’re right,” Assistant Zhang said in a low voice, “based on the investigation, Wang Fa is a typical fat-headed lecher. Rongfei Building Materials will sooner or later be ruined in his hands.”

At the mention of the word “lecher,” Lu Siyang’s face instantly darkened. Thinking of back at the Lucina Club when that bastard drugged his drink made his teeth itch with hatred. Once he found out the identity of the person hiding behind the scenes, he would definitely kill that bastard!

Assistant Zhang opened the door, and just as Lu Siyang was about to walk out, he nearly collided with someone head-on.

“President Lu.”

The Finance Manager, Chen Li, stood outside with a stunned expression, his right hand still poised as if to knock; he was clearly startled by the door suddenly swinging open.

“Manager Chen,” Lu Siyang glanced at the file box in the other’s hand and asked, “Is something the matter?”

“President Lu,” Chen Li opened the box and pulled out a contract to hand over, “this is a new draft contract from Changshun; I brought it over for you to look at.”

The boss of Changshun, Liu Jingguang, was a good friend of his father’s and had cooperated with Lu Corporation for many years. Of course, for people like them, sentiment was sentiment, and business was business. He remembered that old fox Liu Jingguang had been planning to squeeze the prices.

Lu Siyang narrowed his eyes and flipped through a couple of pages, asking casually, “What’s the word on the price?”

Chen Li hesitated for a moment and replied truthfully, “It’s been lowered by twenty percent.”

Twenty percent?!

As soon as the words left his mouth, even Assistant Zhang behind him showed a look of surprise: “Didn’t they say they were pressing for ten percent before? How did it become twenty?”

Fck, that dead old man Liu Jingguang.

He pulled out his phone and checked his calendar; there were still over two months until Liu Jingguang’s sixtieth birthday…

Lu Siyang cursed in his heart and returned the contract to Chen Li: “Just say I’m not in the company, we’ll talk when I get back.” Even if Liu Jingguang didn’t care for sentiment in business, talking face-to-face was always different.

Chen Li took the contract and responded, “Understood, President Lu.”

Lu Siyang waved his hand and entered the elevator with Assistant Zhang.

Upon entering the storage room, Lu Siyang almost didn’t recognize Wang Fa. In just a few days, Wang Fa had transformed from a sleek, pampered fat guy into something resembling a dead pig in a slaughterhouse that had lost its spirit. On his face, which was covered in bruises from being beaten, his eyelids were so swollen he could barely open them, and dried blood still clung to the corners of his mouth.

During these two days, he had specifically instructed the bodyguards to only provide water and not a single grain of rice. Wang Fa was currently sprawled on the floor, his stomach growling loudly from hunger, so weak he didn’t even have the strength to roll over.

Lu Siyang walked up to Wang Fa and extended a leg to kick the other’s head: “Young Master Wang, how is your consideration going?”

“P-President Lu…” His limp body swayed from the kick. Hearing his voice, Wang Fa immediately struggled to open his eyelids with excitement, “I-I’ve finished considering… President Lu, I’ve finished considering… I was wrong… I shouldn’t have lied to you…”

“You’ve figured it out?” Lu Siyang knelt down, looking at Wang Fa’s black-and-blue face. “Tell me, why did you bother? If you’d had this realization earlier, you wouldn’t have had to suffer so much.”

Wang Fa hurriedly agreed: “Yes, yes… President Lu is right.”

Lu Siyang stood up and gestured for the bodyguards to help Wang Fa onto the sofa: “Alright, speak.”

“I’ll speak, I’ll speak right now…” Wang Fa leaned limply against the back of the sofa and said in a weak voice, “That day… after coming out of Lucina, I… I received a phone call… it was a man, he said—”

Ring—

Just as he reached the crucial part, Lu Siyang’s phone rang at an inopportune moment. Lu Siyang frowned and pulled out the phone. When he saw the name on the screen, his eyes flickered, and the impatience in them immediately faded away.

“I’m going to take this call,” he glanced at the sweat-covered Wang Fa and turned to instruct Assistant Zhang, “have someone bring him something to eat.” After saying that, he strode out.

Lu Siyang wasn’t in a hurry to answer the call. He unlocked his car and sat inside, staring blankly at those two characters on the screen for several seconds before pressing the answer button.

“Busy?”

The familiar voice came through the receiver, sounding deeper and raspier than usual. The finger Lu Siyang had resting on the steering wheel suddenly jumped.

“Very busy,” Lu Siyang replied in a lukewarm tone, but after speaking, he couldn’t help but ask, “Why, is something up?”

Before Fang Lv could respond, a sudden bang sounded on the other end of the line, giving Lu Siyang a start. He quickly asked, “What was that sound? Where are you?”

“It’s nothing,” after some rustling, Fang Lv asked again, “What time do you get off work? I’ll come pick you up.”

Lu Siyang was still feeling awkward because of what happened before; he feigned rejection: “No need, I—”

Before he could finish, there was another bang in the receiver, followed by Fang Lv making a sound of annoyance: “There’s a bit of trouble here, I have to hang up. See you tonight.” He then hung up the phone.

Listening to the dial tone on the line, Lu Siyang frowned and curled his lip, still feeling somewhat unhappy in his heart. He punched the steering wheel hard—you, Fang Lv, come and go as you please; am I really that casual, to be dealt with at your whim?

However, the thought of Fang Lv’s voice being pressed against his ear just now, almost feeling the warm breath he exhaled as he spoke fanning across his neck… he seemed to smell that unique, cool sandalwood scent on Fang Lv, clinging to him with a scorching aura that made his blood boil…

His suit trousers felt a bit tight now. Lu Siyang awkwardly adjusted his position and suddenly saw his current appearance in the rearview mirror. Cheeks flushed, pink lips slightly parted—a total picture of unsatisfied desire.

Fck… it’s only been a few days since we did it… why is it like this…

He took a deep breath, suppressing the mysterious heat in his body and forcing himself to shift his attention.

A few minutes later, Lu Siyang got out of the car with a normal expression, slammed the door, and walked quickly back to the storage room. Before taking the call, Lu Siyang had specifically ordered someone to bring food. Wang Fa was currently devouring it ravenously; a large meat bun was stuffed whole into his mouth and disappeared after two chews. After eating five or six in a row, Wang Fa carefully let out a full burp and, under Lu Siyang’s gaze, withdrew the hand that wanted to take another bun.

Lu Siyang dragged the tray toward himself and sneered: “Young Master Wang, continue.”

“Yes, yes,” having eaten his fill, Wang Fa had much more energy and spoke without stammering, “That day a man called me and asked if I wanted to regain my pride, and he gave me an idea. In my anger at the time, I… I…” Wang Fa peeked at him, his voice growing quieter, “I agreed…”

Lu Siyang had a dark face and a half-smile: “Who was the other party?”

Wang Fa replied honestly: “I was also afraid of being played, so I specifically had someone check the phone number. That person seemed very vigilant; the phone he used was encrypted, and he used a voice changer when he spoke…”

Hearing this, Lu Siyang laughed instead of getting angry: “Young Master Wang is truly naive, listening to the words of someone of unknown origin like that.”

“S-sorry, President Lu, I…” Seeing his expression wasn’t right, Wang Fa said in a panic, “You are brilliant and handsome! Don’t lower yourself to the level of a stupid pig like me!”

Brilliant and handsome? What a load of misplaced, nonsensical praise.

A trace of gloom appeared between Lu Siyang’s brows, and his gaze at Wang Fa grew colder. Wang Fa shrank his neck, not daring to look at him again. After a long while, Lu Siyang suddenly closed his eyes heavily.

“Rongfei Building Materials…” Lu Siyang sneered, his tone ruthless, “Wang Fa, from today on, tuck your tail and get back to He Province. As long as my Lu family exists, your Wang family can forget about ever stepping out of He Province!”

Wang Fa looked up, his gaze toward Lu Siyang full of surprise, but he quickly reacted, standing up and bowing repeatedly with his hands clasped: “Yes, yes, President Lu, don’t worry! I will absolutely follow your teachings and stay honestly in He Province, I won’t take a single step out!”

“And…” Lu Siyang suddenly smiled, his gaze chilling, “mind your mouth.”

Wang Fa hurriedly responded: “Don’t worry, President Lu! I definitely won’t talk nonsense!”

Lu Siyang frowned with annoyance: “Before I change my mind, get the hell out!”

Not daring to hesitate for another second, Wang Fa dragged his fat body and scrambled out the door.

Assistant Zhang watched Wang Fa’s panicked departure and asked unwillingly, “President Lu, we’re just letting him go like that?”

“Otherwise?” Lu Siyang asked back, “We live in a society ruled by law; I can’t actually kill him. And—” Lu Siyang leaned slowly back into his chair, closing his eyes and tapping the armrest, “he didn’t tell the truth.”

Assistant Zhang was stunned: “You mean…”

“Do you think the Wang family doesn’t know about this?” Lu Siyang opened his eyes, a cold light flashing in them, “Wang Fa is stupid, but Wang Hongsheng isn’t. Would he watch Wang Fa rashly offend the Lu family just because of a phone call from an unknown source?”

Wang Hongsheng had started from nothing and founded Rongfei Building Materials on his own, crushing all the major building material companies in He Province in just a few years to become the sole power. For someone capable of achieving that level, how could it be possible for him to be unaware of his son’s actions?

Assistant Zhang had a realization: “It seems this matter was likely authorized by Wang Hongsheng.”

Lu Siyang tilted his chin: “Go and have someone continue to watch the Wang father and son. See who they’re in contact with.”
