I Get A Random New Occupation Every Week-Chapter 2564 - 2565: The Wang Family Will Not Let It Go Easily
Chapter 2564: Chapter 2565: The Wang Family Will Not Let It Go Easily
The mother and son’s expressions both changed noticeably.
Before this, neither of them had anticipated that Qi Daodong would say something like this.
"From his accent, it sounds like he’s from the South. I also learned that he used to be a hospital director. Someone like that couldn’t possibly have any significant background."
"That’s because you don’t understand how terrifying he is."
Qi Daodong uttered in a low voice:
"You know the Liang family in Yanjing, don’t you?"
"Of course. The Family Head is Liang Xianghe, who’s in cahoots with Liang Xianghe." Li Yongmei said.
"His name is Lin Yi, the Liang family’s son-in-law, and he lives at that maternity center over there." Qi Daodong said:
"That guy Zhou Chengtao, who dared to go and snatch someone—he’s lucky the Liang family didn’t kill him. That’s practically a miracle."
"Damn it!"
Qi Jingsi smashed his fist against the coffee table.
"No wonder he’s so arrogant; turns out he’s clinging to the Liang family’s great tree."
He understood very well that if Lin Yi, the Liang family’s son-in-law, was the one who acted, seeking revenge wouldn’t be easy.
"If you simply think he’s leaning on the Liang family, you’re being way too narrow-minded." Qi Daodong said:
"He’s the chairman of Zhong Hai’s Lingyun Group—the lithography machine was developed by them. The company hasn’t gone public yet, but his wealth alone is enough to rank him among China’s top ten."
"You’re telling me he’s the chairman of Lingyun Group?!"
The mother and son’s expressions slightly shifted. They were part of this circle, knew more than most people, and clearly understood the unique status of Lingyun Group.
It was a truly world-class, high-tech enterprise, the leader in China’s semiconductor industry!
As chairman of such a company, the uniqueness of his status spoke for itself.
The mother and son both fell silent, realizing the gravity of the situation.
"Don’t think his identity is limited to this."
"He has a hidden identity?" Qi Jingsi asked incredulously.
"Far from it." Qi Daodong responded:
"In China, there’s an extremely secretive organization called the Central Guards Brigade. Their missions are the most dangerous in the world, and he’s the team leader—a favorite disciple of Liang Xianghe who has achieved numerous successes."
After a pause, Qi Daodong continued:
"The people you ran into yesterday were likely from the Central Guards Brigade. With the few men you took with you, they could have handled you single-handedly. Getting slapped was already a light punishment. As far as I know, these people have killed more than can be counted."
Both mother and son’s faces turned gray; Lin Yi’s identity left them shocked and even somewhat overwhelmed.
"Does having such an identity mean he can do whatever he wants?"
Having been spoiled and pampered since birth, Qi Jingsi clearly couldn’t swallow this humiliation.
"We could start with his father. Just the fact that he’s privately storing firearms could lock him up for life."
"You’ve been too arrogant over the years, focusing only on your own tiny corner." Qi Jingsi replied:
"If you can’t even afford to provoke him, do you really want to provoke his father?"
"Are you saying his father has connections too?"
"He’s the world’s biggest rogue leader. Compared to his father, even the Laden you see on television is nothing." Qi Daodong said:
"The fact that you’re alive to return is already a stroke of luck. Otherwise, dying would have just gone unnoticed!"
Qi Jingsi’s mouth twitched; who had he actually managed to offend?
"Is there really no way at all?" Li Yongmei asked:
"We could try asking the Wang family for help."
"Do you know how the Wang family reached its current position?"
"Hmm? Could it be..."
Li Yongmei, having worked in Yanjing for years, had heard about some major happenings here and there.
The Wang family once was unquestionably the top family.
But certain irresistible events occurred, leading to a decline in their influence.
As for what happened specifically, she didn’t know.
"You guessed right. The Wang family once tried to deal with him but got dragged off the pedestal. Even the once high-flying Wang Mian ended up crippled, losing both legs. Against someone like him, do you think the Qi family is even capable of handling it?"
"Dad, wasn’t Wang Mian injured due to an accident during a mission?"
"An accident? At his level, do you think the Wang family would let him suffer an ’accident’?" Qi Daodong said:
"I suspect Wang Mian and Wang Zhen Shan’s deaths are closely tied to him."
"Impossible! They’re both key figures in the Wang family; how could they have died at his hands?" Li Yongmei said.
"With Liang Xianghe involved, nothing is impossible." Qi Daodong said:
"Though it’s just my guess, it’s probably very close to the truth. Saying it was a ’mission accident’ is just dressing it up nicely."
Qi Daodong fumbled in his pocket, pulled out a cigarette, and lit it for himself:
"For whatever reason, this matter must not be pursued any further."
The mother and son said nothing, especially Qi Jingsi. While his lifestyle may have been reckless and indulgent, he wasn’t stupid.
With the Qi family’s influence, they couldn’t afford to touch someone like Lin Yi.
"In the afternoon, buy some gifts and visit the maternity center to apologize." Qi Daodong said:
"If we take the initiative to visit them, whether it’s the Liang family or Lin Yi himself, I think they’ll show us some face."
"He hit me, and I have to go apologize to him?"
Qi Jingsi found it inconceivable and unacceptable, shouting hysterically:
"We’re aligned with the Wang family faction, naturally antagonistic to them. Besides, you’re heading to Zhong Hai soon. Lingyun Group’s operations fall under your jurisdiction. It boils down to them having to cater to your demands. Even if the Qi family isn’t as powerful as them, there’s no need to grovel, is there?"
"This is a tactical move. If you can’t even grasp this logic, you’ll never make it in my circle."
"Listen to your father; his plan is the right move." Li Yongmei said.
"Mom, even you’re siding with him on this?"
"If we really apologize, I’ll lose every ounce of dignity I have."
"Dignity isn’t always the most important thing." Qi Daodong responded:
"Lin Yi isn’t much older than you, and his starting point wasn’t higher than yours. Yet, in just a few short years, he’s made it to where he is now. When you reach his level someday, you can be arrogant all you want. Until then, keeping a low profile will do you no harm."
If it were possible, Qi Daodong wouldn’t have his son do this, but the matters involved were far more complex than he’d anticipated.
Lingyun Group was a critical factor that even dictated his own future, leaving him no choice but to take this approach.
"Fine, I’ll apologize, but there’s one thing I want to make clear." Qi Jingsi said.
"What do you want to make clear?"
"Will there ever be a day when we can crush them underfoot?"
"Of course there will be. There must be. After suffering such a loss, the Wang family won’t let it slide easily."
