His Cute Wife is a Little Crazy-Chapter 638

Chapter 638: TAKEN FOR A RIDE

After breakfast, Wang Che left Azure Woods after receiving a call from his father. Master Wang wanted to meet with him for lunch to discuss the details of their collaboration. Wang Che was quite surprised because of the speedy response.

From their conversation, the hint was obvious. His father had come up with something to explain the accident in Clarion Extreme. Wang Che had thought his father would drag out the process for as long as possible.

The quick actions meant that the company was in real trouble.

Wang Che did not leave with Shun, even though Shun wanted to come with him. Wang Che, Hu Lei and Zhong Feng agreed that it was better if people assumed that the relationship was over. Moreover, it was not wise to let anyone know that he had recovered from the amnesia.

After all, for now, the culprit had gotten what they wanted without killing Shun. Wang Che was in charge of Shun’s finances because of the memory loss. Therefore, there was no need for anyone to come after Shun, especially with their broken relationship.

But if they found out that Shun had his memories and could take back his assets, there was nothing to stop them from trying to kill him again. So, in the interest of Shun’s safety, everyone agreed it was best if he continued staying in Azure Woods.

Wang Che drove to the restaurant where his father had asked to meet him. It was not an overly fancy place, but it had private rooms with sound insulation. Therefore, it was popular among business people in Supreme City.

.....

When Wang Che entered, he was surprised to see both his father and his elder brother. He frowned a little, but he did not comment. He sat down opposite them and looked at them.

“I invited your brother because he is a core member of the company. He is the CEO, so all business deals require his approval.” Master Wang paused. “He also gave me valuable information to help you solve the mystery of that accident.”

Wang Che’s eyes rested on Wang Lu for a moment before turning back to his father.

“I think we can all be open and honest about our relationships. My dear brother here does not like me, and he might be the culprit behind the accident. I find it hard to believe that he has changed and decided to help me just like that.” Wang Che said.

“Wang Lu is still your elder brother. Do not speak so carelessly.” Master Wang responded angrily. “You have to stop thinking that your own family is after you. We are not your enemies. You chose to part ways with us, not the other way around.”

“Is that so?” Wang Che asked. “The three of us know who was behind my kidnapping when I was fifteen. Is this the kind of elder brother I should respect?”

“Will you stop bringing that up all the time?” Master Wang was livid. “You know it was just a prank during your older brother’s rebellious period. Yes, it went a little too far, but he did not mean to harm you.”

“A prank?” Wang Che laughed harshly. “Do you hear yourself? Can you even believe your own words? Your unreasonable thinking is the reason your company is sinking.”

Master Wang calmed down when he remembered the reason he was at the restaurant. The company needed funds desperately. If they did not do something, the company would be gone before a week passed.

Of course, he did not plan to reveal how dire the state in the Wang business was.

“Father, Wang Che is right. It is unreasonable for me not to take responsibility.” Wang Lu said. “Che, things did not happen as you imagine at that time. And Father is wrong. It was not a prank. I would never have pulled such a dangerous prank.”

“The thing is, when you won that competition and became the golden child, I was jealous. Yes, I thought of doing something so that I would not feel like such a loser. But I did not have the guts to actually do anything to you.” He said with an earnest expression.

Wang Che laughed again. “So you are saying that you had absolutely nothing to do with that incident? Forgive me if I do not buy that load of crap!”

Wang Lu sighed lightly. “That is not what I am saying. I did have something to do with it, but it is not like you think. I had some bad friends at that time. And I complained endlessly about how your success was affecting me.”

“They probably took it too seriously even though I was just venting. I could not believe it when I learned about the whole thing later. After that, I cleaned up my act and started attending college seriously.” Wang Lu looked positively contrite.

However, Wang Che did not buy it for a second, even though it was a good story.

“I remember hearing you talking to those criminals. Do not deny that they called you, and you said that they should do whatever they wanted.” Wang Che said.

“I do not have a recollected of that. I am ashamed to admit that the entire period is a haze to me because I was always drunk. I also used some narcotics frequently. I apologise for the part I played in your suffering.” Wang Lu responded and lowered his head in a small bow.

Before Wang Che could say anything else, Master Wang jumped in. “There! Your brother has apologised. Can we move on now?”

Wang Che scoffed, but he did not say anything. There was no need to keep digging into the past. Shun’s accident was more important. He needed to know who wanted to know what his father and brother would say about it.

“We have managed to find the identity of the people who were guilty of the incident in Mountain Ridge. Unfortunately, they are dead. But you probably already know about this.” Master Wang said.

“Everyone knows about this matter. But I know they were just hired by someone.” Wang Che said impatiently.

“Well, you will be surprised to know the person they used to work for.” Master Wang paused for a dramatic effect. “Those men were working for your younger brother.”

Master Wang watched Wang Che with care, hoping to see a reaction. However, he was disappointed to see that his son remained calm. He was filled with the suspicion that Wang Che did not find the information shocking because he was aware of the details. He turned to his eldest son and saw the same suspicious expression. The two of them understood that they had just been taken for a ride.

“Did you already know about this?” Master Wang raised his voice.

Wang Che smiled slightly in an openly mocking manner. He liked to see the indignant look on his father’s face.

“Was this a test?” Master Wang hit the table with his palm. “Did you think I would lie to my own son?”

“I would not put it past you.” Wang Che said.

“You!” Master Wang shouted again.

“Che, you can see this is our goodwill. Since you already knew that Wang Ning was the one who sent those men, you know we are not lying. I hope you can keep your end of the deal.” Wang Lu stepped in before Master Wang could make things worse again.

Wang Che sat more comfortably. “How do you know that Wang Ning is the one who sent them? All we know is that they were working for him.”

“It is only logical to come to this conclusion.” Wang Lu was not fazed by the challenge in Wang Che’s eyes. “Do you think that someone else was able to convince his people to act against you?”

“What kind of work were they doing for him?” Wang Che asked instead of responding to Wang Lu’s question.

“I could not find out much, but they were part of his security.” Wang Lu responded with a hint of irritation on his face. “Wang Ning has a lot of people who protect him. He experienced several instances of harassment due to his fame, so he always has people around him when he goes out. Unfortunately, most of his people have criminal pasts.”

Wang Che was impressed with Wang Ning once again. It seemed like his father and his eldest brother did not know about his businesses. As Oren had said, Wang Ning had hidden his abilities quite deeply. It was something impressive.

But this made the whole business quite suspicious.

With the level of intelligence that Wang Ning seemed to have, it seemed unlikely that he would have made such a big blunder. Obviously, everyone could link him to the suspicious characters who tried to kill Shun.

Therefore, he would be the main suspect immediately.

Wang Che felt like he was missing something. If Wang Ning did not act, he needed to find out who could manipulate the situation. Once again, he wondered if it was Wang Lu responsible for this entire thing. After all, he had hurt him before.

“We have given you what you wanted. You should sign the contract.” Master Wang shoved a document at Wang Che.

Wang Che smiled and pushed the papers back. “Not yet. I have to confirm the information.”

“Quit playing around.” Master Wang shouted. “You already knew Wang Ning was the culprit. Sign it.”

Wang Che stood up. “Do not forget who needs who here, Master Wang.”

With that, he opened the door and left the room.
