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

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed.

Zheng Kaiyang was right; they came to help Zheng Kaiyang, not because they were from the same family five hundred years ago.

It was fine for them to contribute some money and effort based on that relationship.

But for Old Master Chen to summon so many people and mobilize that many resources was a bit far-fetched.

"We cannot let outsiders bully Fengcheng people."

Such words were good enough for slogans but to actually risk one's life for them was foolish.

Everyone vividly remembered the grand occasion from over a decade ago when Zheng Kaiyang's wife's family came to visit.

At that time, the city imposed traffic control.

Even the planes preparing to land in Fengcheng were redirected to the airport in the neighboring city.

The city's top official personally accompanied them to Zheng Kaiyang's home and took his wife away.

At that time, everyone was guessing who Zheng Kaiyang's wife might be.

But no matter how they asked, Zheng Kaiyang just wouldn't tell.

It was not until later, when Zheng Kaiyang let slip the truth in his drunkenness.

It turned out that his wife was the young mistress of a reclusive family. She had run away to have some fun, met Zheng Kaiyang, and married him after falling in love at first sight.

Once her family found her, they sent people to take her back.

When her family took her away, they gave Zheng Kaiyang a sum of money as alimony.

The alimony from the reclusive family was beyond imagination.

However, Zheng Kaiyang never mentioned the exact amount.

But everyone agreed it was definitely not a small sum.

They were all after this money.

The recent talk of settling and not getting involved anymore was actually to pressure Zheng Kaiyang to give up the money.

Zheng Kaiyang had earnestly pleaded just now because he didn't want to pay.

But when he saw that no one was moved, not even Old Master Chen speaking up, he knew that if he didn't give it up, it wasn't going to work out.

Now that the conversation had reached this point, there was no longer any need to beat around the bush; they could speak openly.

Luo Hongwei smiled, "Kaiyang, since that's the case, tell us how much money you have in that account. We don't want to go all-in on dealing with Xu Yang and end up with just a little bit of money; that wouldn't be good."

"Just take a look for yourselves." Zheng Kaiyang took out his phone and opened his mobile bank account.

Account balance: 3000000000

The currency was US dollars.

Three billion US dollars.

Converted into Huaxia currency, that's almost two hundred billion.

Keep in mind, this is cash.

All the people present, if combined, couldn't produce that much in cash, not even half, at most one-third.

"With so much money, why haven't you used it?" Old Master Chen asked curiously.

You have to understand, the scale of Zheng Kaiyang's company is just over two billion.

Zheng Kaiyang didn't at all seem like someone who could handle two hundred billion in cash.

"I don't have great ambitions; running a small company is enough for me. I wanted to save that money for a critical moment in the future,"

"Moreover, to tell the truth, I'm somewhat afraid to use it. It's just that now, for my nephew, I have no choice but to use it."

"You all should know how much my sister doted on me before she got married,"

"I can disregard my brother-in-law, but now that my little nephew has also been arrested, I must look after my elder nephew."

"Otherwise, even in death, I wouldn't have the face to see my sister when I reached the netherworld."

Zheng Kaiyang explained.

Everyone nodded.

Indeed, before Zheng Kaiyang's sister had gotten married, she did dote on him exceedingly, virtually like a brother-protecting demon.

If anyone dared to bully Zheng Kaiyang, they met with no good end.

They still remembered the time when Zheng Kaiyang quarreled with someone out of jealousy and was beaten up.

Zheng Kaiyang's sister went straight to the man's house and broke his leg.

"Since that's settled, we will definitely help out. No objections, everyone?" Old Master Chen said.

"No objections!"

Everyone broke into smiles.

Two billion in cash, divided among those present, would be quite a hefty sum for each.

They could still pull off some deals.

"Zheng Kaiyang, you said that as long as your nephew is safe, it's fine, right?" Luo Hongwei asked.

"Right," Zheng Kaiyang nodded.

"Old Master, in that case, I think we can talk to Xu Yang and hand over Li Changsheng, making him take all the responsibility. That way, the matter can be perfectly resolved. What do you think?" Luo Hongwei suggested.

"What does everyone think?" Old Master Chen asked the crowd first.

"I think it's doable. Presumably, as a father, Li Changsheng would be willing to take responsibility for his son," someone said.

"Right, that's what a father should do."

"Old Master, make the call to Xu Yang."

The crowd naturally had no objections; such a resolution would be ideal.

"Okay, let's do that. I'll call Xu Yang," Old Master Chen agreed.

He nodded, picked up the seniors' cell phone from the table, and dialed Xu Yang's number.

The call connected quickly.

"What's the matter?" Xu Yang's voice came through.

"Xu Yang, let's make peace," Old Master Chen got straight to the point.

"Make peace? No problem, just have Li Changsheng and his son turn themselves in at Jiangcheng," Xu Yang said.

He would not take matters into his own hands. How he treated Li Changsheng and his son would solely be letting them face legal punishment.

After Li Changsheng and his son were imprisoned, he would think of a way to make them suffer more.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

He didn't have those kinds of connections, but among his friends, there should be someone who did.

In any case, he couldn't let Li Changsheng and his son off easy.

"Xu Yang, Li Zicheng is still young, with a long road ahead, please let him go. As for Li Changsheng, we will have him turn himself in at Jiangcheng. He will take all the responsibility. How about that?" Old Master Chen proposed.

"Not good enough. Both of them must face legal punishment. You're thinking of giving up one and protecting the other. That's impossible!" Xu Yang responded coldly.

"Young man, you are also a big businessman, worth several billion. You should have a broader vision. Be lenient where you can. Someone is taking responsibility already. Why are you still so aggressive?"

Old Master Chen frowned, showing his displeasure.

He felt that having Li Changsheng turn himself in and take all the responsibility was already giving Xu Yang face.

Xu Yang should have happily accepted it.

Xu Yang's refusal was just being ungrateful.

"Hehe, in your eyes, I am still being aggressive. In short, peace is possible if you have Li Changsheng and his son turn themselves in. Otherwise, don't bother!"

"If you want to keep helping, then continue. I don't care. I just want to say this, if you keep helping, you will meet the same fate as those before you!"

After saying that, Xu Yang hung up the phone.

Old Master Chen was somewhat angry at being rejected by Xu Yang.

But there was nothing he could do.

The other party insisted that both men face punishment.

So, he put down the phone and turned to the others: "Xu Yang does not agree to peace."

Luo Hongwei frowned and asked, "What do we do then? Continue the war with Xu Yang?"

Given the strategies Xu Yang had shown, they really had no confidence.

They feared that once things escalated, they too would end up captured or on the run, like the others.

That wouldn't be fun at all.

Zheng Kaiyang's money was tempting, but they needed to be able to safely get their hands on it.
