"That beast! Does he think that as long as he severs ties with his scumbag father, then what that man did has nothing to do with him at all?!"
"When a person is shameless, he's invincible! This isn't just shameless—it's utterly despicable!!!"
"How could this be?! My dream is shattered! How could such a handsome man be so disloyal and unfilial?"
"To protect himself, the moment something happens he chooses to abandon his own biological father! With someone like that, I really don't know what to say!"
"If he insisted on saving his father, I could still think a little better of him. He'd still be scum, but at least there'd be that bit of 'filial piety.' As for now... heh heh....."
"......"
After Lin Xuan said those things that, to ordinary people, completely shattered their values....
A flood of negative comments about him poured in online, and countless people on site glared at him in anger.
In response, Lin Xuan's face remained cold, utterly unconcerned.
But privately, he took a deep breath and began building up his emotions.....
Magic City police bureau, in the detention room.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!!!"
"My son Lin Xuan—how could he possibly stand by and watch me die?!"
"And he even cursed me, hoping I'd die sooner?! How could he be so vicious?!"
"Even if we've already severed our father-son relationship, the bones, once broken, are still connected by tendons! How can he treat me like this?!!"
"That beast!!!"
"......"
Hearing Lin Xuan's hurtful words, the agitated Lin Jianjun first flew into a powerless rage, smashing things around the room in fury.
Bang bang bang!!!
After who knows how long, having vented hard, he suddenly collapsed like a punctured ball and slumped to the floor.
Only today did he truly realize......
That his own son detested him so much that he actually cursed him to die to his face, even saying he wasn't worthy to be a father?!!
Seeing with his own eyes Lin Xuan's look of disgust in the livestream.
Hearing with his own ears Lin Xuan's resentful tone in the broadcast.
Lin Jianjun, for some reason, felt as if his heart were being cut by knives, in such pain he wished he were dead.
Pain!
Too much pain!!!!!
He seemed to wake up completely, no longer deceiving himself, knowing he had forever lost this biological son.......
In that moment, his remorse surged up again.
If he had treated him well in the past, would father and son have loved each other for a lifetime, and would he not have ended up like this?
If....
If only back then he had..... would the ending have been different.....
So many ifs...
But there are no ifs....
Only the result.....
Thinking of this.
Lin Jianjun gave a bleak smile, suddenly beating his chest with loud "thump thump" sounds, his desolate laughter growing louder, like a wail, like a lament.
"Hahaha...."
"You reap what you sow—you deserve it... deserve it... hahaha...."
"......."
In a VIP room of the teahouse.
Tang Chuan's fair face flushed with anger; he rolled up his sleeves, pacing back and forth like he was ready to fight, muttering nonstop.
"......"
"My cousin is truly hateful! I thought after so long he'd have improved a little!"
"But now it seems he's still so arrogant and overbearing!"
"I also look down on my uncle-in-law—what he did is indeed outrageous! He should be judged by the law!!!"
"But he's still my cousin's father! Outsiders are one thing, but as a son, how can he curse his own father to die?"
"If he's that cruel to his own flesh and blood, imagine what kind of face he shows to outsiders."
"As expected! That business back then with stealing my little sister's underwear wasn't a false charge at all. This cousin of mine is an incurable beast!!!"
"......"
Seeing with his own eyes that Lin Xuan, just to avoid being implicated, didn't even blink before directly casting off his own biological father.
Tang Chuan's opinion of this cousin dropped several more notches.
After all, what he hated most in life..... was exactly this kind of unfilial person....
If not for the screen between them, he would have rushed up to Lin Xuan and finished him with a big haymaker.
Sitting on the sofa behind him, Huo Qichen, after watching the entire live broadcast, had an even brighter sneer at the corner of his mouth.
"........"
"Hmph! Seems I overestimated that idiot Lin Xuan."
"Does he really think that once he announces a severing of ties with Lin Jianjun......"
"This whole incident will have nothing to do with him, and Su Group can safely weather this disaster?"
"Utter foolishness! The more eager he is to show he wants to cut off all ties with Lin Jianjun to wriggle out, the worse people will feel about him."
"In the end, that fool will still be condemned by everyone—and he'll have an extra label of 'unfilial son.'"
"So, what if he eventually abandons Lin Jianjun, and legally is ruled to have nothing to do with this?"
"Law and reason do not transcend human feeling!"
"Sometimes what people care about... is not just that cold sheet of paper!"
"In short, there's no way out!"
"Even if Su Group's products are excellent, this time its reputation will face an unprecedented collapse....."
"......."
Thinking this, the knife-chiseled face of Huo Qichen showed undisguised, triumphant mockery.
He hadn't expected things to proceed so smoothly—so smoothly it was hard even for him to believe.
That idiot Lin Xuan seemed to have lost his soul; all his former shrewdness was gone, and he'd stepped right into his trap.....
Next, he only needed to order his men to keep posting extreme remarks online and amplify the impact to the maximum; that would be more than enough to deliver a heavy blow to Su Group.
No—he might not even need to act.....
As the saying goes:
When a wall falls, everyone pushes.
Big fish eat little fish; little fish eat shrimp.
The fat cake that is Su Group had long had countless forces drooling over it.
In business, interest comes first. If there's an opening, how could those forces give up the chance to kick someone when they're down?!
So even if he did nothing, countless forces would naturally stir in the shadows.
This time, Huo Qichen was 95% absolutely confident......
Su Group would be beyond saving!
And this..... is what you get for provoking Huo Qichen!!!
Just as the domineering CEO reveled, fancying his wisdom unparalleled in the world....
He happened to glance at the livestream and saw Lin Xuan's sudden move, and instinctively his eyes widened.
Is that guy crazy?!
What is he trying to do (òωó?)!!!!!!
