If someone asks for a favor, you must do it personally.
Seeing his eldest son still behaving arrogantly in front of Su Wu, Su Guiquan felt his vision blur.
Having gone through so much, he had come to realize that Su Wu was not someone they could afford to mess with.
Su Guiquan was once a very wealthy man, but what about now?
Over the years, he almost lost all his savings and became a laughing stock in his hometown.
Su Wu's shadow was present in every single one of those events, and Su Guiquan was truly terrified.
But he never expected that Su Jianren would provoke Su Wu.
Now look what happened. In just a few months, he lost all his principal and interest, and now he's in big trouble.
He would never have come to Su Wu if he hadn't been desperate; he was simply unsure of himself.
Now that Su Jianren is clearly saying he came to find Su Wu on someone else's orders, how could he not be angry?
He pointed at Su Jianren's nose and shouted, "Tell me, which bastard gave you this idea?"
Seeing his father's anger, Su Jianren looked conflicted.
After a while, he muttered, "Those are all big shots. Hu Mingfu and Li Wende are both very influential people. If it weren't for their help, how could I have gotten out of here now?"
idiot.
Su Wu sneered inwardly upon hearing this.
This guy is such a complete idiot, getting sold out and still happily helping the other person count the money.
It's now obvious that the two of them are desperate and intend to squeeze Su Jianren's potential to fill the hole one last time.
Seeing that Su Wu remained unmoved, Su Guiquan asked in a deep voice, "What kind of big shot is this? A big shot wants you to take money from home to cover up your mess?"
“They are the big shots who helped with the loan. Now that Liu Gengju has run away, they are anxious too. They said that as long as I can keep the project going, they can find a way to resolve the loan issue.”
He paused, then looked at Su Wu, "They said that Fifth Brother now has the backing of a large conglomerate and isn't short of money at all. Moreover, Fifth Brother owns shares in the company, so he has to shut it down..."
Su Wu listened patiently, but inwardly he sneered repeatedly.
Hu Mingfu and Li Wende have absolutely no shame.
They were so desperate to get rid of Su Jianren that they practically wanted to squeeze him dry.
After thinking for a moment, he sneered, "Didn't you consider that they were in cahoots with Liu Gengju to cheat you? Now that Liu Gengju has run away, are they desperate?"
"This...this can't be, they're big shots..."
"Hmph, and even if the loan issue can be suppressed, what about the fundraising? How are you going to repay so much money raised? And how can you not repay the loan?"
"I... Anyway, you have shares in the company, so you can't escape responsibility."
The more Su Wu spoke, the colder Su Jianren felt.
But what other options does he have besides clinging to Su Wu?
Seeing him give up entirely, Su Wu sneered, "Do you know what limited liability means?"
"Do you think I'm an idiot? How could I not know?" Su Jianren said, embarrassed and angry.
"Then why are you even talking to me?" Su Wu sneered.
Upon hearing this, Su Jianren fell silent.
At this moment, Su Guiquan sighed and slowly said, "Su Wu, in the end we are all family. Now that you have the ability, you can't just stand by and watch someone die, can you?"
"Don't try to play the emotional card with me, you're not worthy."
He wanted to say something more, but Su Wu ruthlessly interrupted him.
As the saying goes, "Heaven's sins may be forgiven, but self-inflicted sins are unforgivable."
Su Jianren deserved it all; it was all his fault for being too greedy.
However, Su Wu was very unhappy that he had been outmaneuvered by Hu Mingfu and Li Wende again.
In particular, their insistence on using the Su family to disgust him has touched a raw nerve.
Su Wu looked at Su Guiquan, his tone resolute.
“He’s an idiot. Tell him to get out, and I can say a few words to you. Otherwise, you can leave.”
"Get out of here, you useless thing!" Su Guiquan immediately shouted at Su Jianren to leave.
Su Jianren was about to say something when Su Guiquan kicked him away.
"Alright, now it's quiet." Su Guiquan chuckled awkwardly.
Su Wu nodded and spoke very seriously.
“Let me tell you, Hu Mingfu and Li Wende are no good people. This matter is definitely related to them. They were just tricked by Liu Gengju.”
"The ones in the biggest trouble right now are them, not Su Jianren. A sum of billions of dollars isn't something that can just disappear. They must have left clues if they moved that money, so you understand."
"The best course of action now is to accept the loss, find a good lawyer, and file for bankruptcy. The authorities can't possibly remain indifferent to such a large-scale fraud case..."
Su Wu eventually softened and began to analyze the situation for Su Guiquan.
Of course, this was also because he didn't want Hu Mingfu and Li Wende to have an easy time.
Su Guiquan frowned upon hearing this, "Should we pay compensation? Your older brother..."
“You’re not short of sons, so what’s the big deal if Su Jianren goes to jail for a few years? Otherwise, do you think your family’s wealth is enough to cover it? Your other children wouldn’t agree either, would they?” Su Wu sneered.
That makes perfect sense, and Su Guiquan was speechless.
But with another loss of over 200 million yuan, Su Guiquan was heartbroken.
He asked tentatively, "Is there really no other way? Can you accept this?"
"I admit it's too complicated here. Do as you please. Also, please don't bother me again. People can't be this shameless."
Su Wu shook his head slightly. He hadn't lost out, so what was there to be resentful about?
Upon hearing this, Su Guiquan appeared even older, filled with regret.
If he had treated Su Wu a little better back then, and given him some warmth of home, perhaps he would be a retired emperor enjoying a comfortable life now.
Unfortunately, things don't always go as planned, and regret is useless.
After leaving Sihaiju, Su Guiquan had a very serious talk with Su Jianren.
This time, he did not blame Su Wu for facing all the problems squarely, and he shattered Su Jianren's last illusions.
You have to accept the consequences of your bet; even if you lose, you have to accept it.
“My eldest son, I’ve already inquired. After you file for bankruptcy, you’ll only be in jail for a few years at most. Don’t worry, with me here, you won’t suffer too much.”
"Father, can't you chip in some money with Su Wu? What if things turn out differently?"
"A turning point? Can't you see it? A hole of 8 billion, how are we going to fill it? Do you really think I run a bank?"
But I...
"Hmph, isn't it all because you took it upon yourself to scheme against Fifth Brother? If you had just discussed it with me, things wouldn't have turned out this way. Damn it, there's no such thing as a free lunch, you piece of trash!"
Seeing that Su Jianren was still not giving up, Su Guiquan got angry and slapped him.
This slap completely woke Su Jianren up.
Their family is neither omnipotent nor incredibly wealthy.
Faced with such a momentous event, they were nothing more than insignificant figures.
After a long pause, he looked dejected. "Dad, you really have to take good care of me. I heard they make us pick up soap inside."
