Chapter 360: Chapter 360 Sympathy for the Similarly Afflicted_1

The next day, Shen Dong and Chen Yuyan went to work.

Chen Yuyan had already recovered from the kidnapping incident that took place yesterday.

It was only because she had been unconscious the entire time and hadn’t heard the arrogant and perverse remarks made by Dong Junjie and Du Mingliang, as well as not knowing that she had been threatened by Dong Junjie with a dagger to coerce Shen Dong, otherwise it would have been impossible for her to recover so quickly.

Shen Dong also felt very fortunate that Chen Yuyan had been unconscious throughout, as otherwise, she might have been left with psychological trauma, which could have taken a long time to heal.

As the two arrived at the entrance of the company, they saw two middle-aged men.

One of them was Dong Junjie’s father, Dong Qikang.

Shen Dong had met Dong Qikang before, after all, he had been planning to propose to Chen Yuting at one point.

They had only met once and had dinner together, where Dong Qikang, just like Dong Junjie, had looked down on Shen Dong, thinking that he lacked background and ability, and was doomed to live at the bottom of society.

The other one, Shen Dong did not recognize.

The mental state of both men was very poor.

Their eyes were bloodshot, and their hair was disheveled.

Upon seeing Shen Dong and Chen Yuyan exit the elevator, Dong Qikang immediately ran over and knelt in front of the two with a thud, crying and pleading, "Shen Dong, Chen Yuyan, I beg you, please forgive Junjie, he was just confused for a moment, can you please let him go, I’m begging you!"

The other middle-aged man, seeing Dong Qikang doing this, also hurried over and knelt in front of Shen Dong and Chen Yuyan with a thud, saying, "Shen Dong, Chen Yuyan, I am Du Mingliang’s father Du Lijian, I also beg you, please forgive Mingliang, he too was just confused for a moment, you have the generosity of spirit, please let him go, he is my only son, if he goes to jail, his life will be ruined."

The two old men, having learned of the deeds of their sons, were shocked.

If their plans had succeeded, they would have been very happy.

But having failed, they were exceedingly anxious.

After clarifying the details, they sought ways to save their sons and both hired lawyers.

The advice they received from the lawyers was to seek out Shen Dong and Chen Yuyan.

If Shen Dong and Chen Yuyan were willing to testify that it was all a misunderstanding, just a joke,

then Dong Junjie and Du Mingliang wouldn’t have to go to jail, and at most would just need to pay some money.

Thus, early in the morning, both men went to the entrance of Dongyan Media Company, hoping to ask Shen Dong and Chen Yuyan to forgive their sons.

Although they did not know each other initially, their sons had worked together, which naturally brought them into acquaintance.

After hearing the two men’s words, Shen Dong and Chen Yuyan immediately understood what they had come for.

"I’m sorry, but everyone must bear the consequences of their own actions, your sons kidnapped my wife and even tried to kill me, and you still expect me to forgive them? Don’t you find that laughable?" Shen Dong coldly said.

Forgiving them was out of the question, especially since this matter was also tied to Qian Haoming.

If the sons were forgiven, wouldn’t it imply that Qian Haoming would get off scot-free as well?

Shen Dong did not want to play the saint, forgiving these people only for them to harm him again.

Truth be told, if it weren’t for the consequences, he would want to personally kill these few people!

"Shen Dong, you know Junjie, he may lack ability, but he definitely has a good heart, he was just confused for a moment, bribed by money which blinded his eyes, I’m begging you, please forgive him," Dong Qikang continued to cry and plead.

"A good heart?" Shen Dong sneered, staring at Dong Qikang, "Dong Qikang, how can you have the audacity to say your son has a good heart? Last time he even hired thugs to cause trouble at my father-in-law’s restaurant. With his behavior, you still claim he has a good heart? Is your standard so low that it’s far below the legal red line?"

Dong Qikang’s face stiffened.

He had been so focused on pleading for mercy earlier that he had forgotten about this.

Last time his son hired thugs to make trouble at Chen Yuanxiang’s small restaurant, he was even detained for fifteen days.

Claiming he wasn’t bad at heart was indeed a bit far-fetched.

"Shen Dong, as long as you can let my son go, I am willing to give you all my money. I will sell my car, my house, everything I can sell for money, and give it all to you!" Dong Qikang pleaded, unwilling to give up.

"Dong Qikang, how much do you think your things can sell for? Do you think I look like someone who lacks money?" Shen Dong scoffed.

Dong Qikang’s complexion stiffened again.

Yes, Shen Dong was already a billionaire and didn’t need money.

The money he could get from selling his possessions wouldn’t even amount to a fraction of Shen Dong’s wealth.

"Shen Dong, what will it take for you to let my son go? As long as you are willing to let him go, I, Dong Qikang, will do whatever you ask, whether it’s to climb a mountain of swords or plunge into a sea of flames, without a word of complaint!"

Dong Qikang was ready to go all out to save his son and was willing to do anything.

"I’m sorry." Shen Dong shook his head and said coldly, "Dong Qikang, I don’t need you to do anything. Besides, what can someone like you do for me? I can hire an employee casually, give them a bit of training, and they would be better than you. Also, let me clarify one thing—it’s not that I won’t let him go; it’s that he has broken the law, and the law won’t let him go!"

He didn’t wait for Dong Qikang to say anything else, and turned to Du Lijian, "Your son is the same as his. Don’t beg me anymore. The predicament they are in now is all of their own making!"

After speaking, he took Chen Yuyan’s hand and quickly entered the company, instructing the receptionist not to let those two men in and to have security throw them out if they tried to force their way in.

Of course, the receptionist agreed readily.

At the elevator entrance.

"Dong, it seems this approach won’t work," Du Lijian said as he got up and helped Dong Qikang to his feet with a bitter face.

"Indeed, this method isn’t going to work," Dong Qikang agreed, his face just as bitter.

The two men shared a similar plight and looked pitiful indeed.

Each had only one son, and with their sons in prison, their lives were ruined.

Unless they could make a lot of money and provide a good life for their sons, the life awaiting their sons after prison would definitely be at the very bottom rung of society.

Such a life was unimaginable to them.

"Dong, what should we do now?" Du Lijian asked.

"I don’t know either," Dong Qikang said bitterly.

"Can we only watch our sons go to prison?" Du Lijian was a bit unwilling to accept this, and suddenly thought of someone, "Dong, doesn’t Qian Haoming have a girlfriend from Lighthouse Country? She’s also the daughter of the Rock Family from Lighthouse Country. Surely she won’t just watch Qian Haoming go to prison, right? Should we try to see if she can do anything?"

Dong Qikang’s eyes lit up: "Right, right, how did I not think of her? Let’s go find her."

Du Lijian thought of something and suddenly paused, "But where do we find her?"

Dong Qikang replied, "We don’t know, brother Du, but Qian Haoming certainly does. We can just visit Qian Haoming and ask him."

Du Lijian slapped his forehead, "Right, right, I’m getting senile. That’s what we’ll do; let’s ask Qian Haoming."
