“How dare you!”

“To avoid future problems, it’s best if the Minister meets with Eric. You’ve already retired and am simply acting as an advisor. Things aren’t as easy for you to resolve as they used to be. Don’t put yourself at risk.”

Elder Song remained silent for a few seconds. In the end, he nodded his head, “Go organize it then.”

Elder Song had spent most of his life in politics, so he was naturally arrogant and prideful. But, Eric understood people like him well. So, he told Luke to pass on a simple message.

“Previously, I was occupied with taking care of my pregnant wife, so it was regretful that I didn’t get to meet with Elder Song. Now that I have some spare time, it makes sense for me to meet with you. I need to at least know whether my enemy is a good or bad.”

Elder Song took note of Eric’s arrogance and planned to teach him a lesson.

Unfortunately, he would never get the chance.

That night, a heavy storm hit New York. Elder Song arrived at the meeting place in his car and followed his secretary to a private room. But, he was already late by half an hour.

He originally thought that Eric had been waiting for a long time inside the room. But, after entering the room, Eric was nowhere to be seen. Only after ten minutes did he arrive.

Elder Song sat in his chair and looked at the young man with a smile, “This is the first time I’ve seen a youngster invite an elder and arrive later than the elder.”

Eric neatened his suit and brushed off the water drops on his body before he sat down and replied, “Please excuse my lateness. After all, I recently became a father and life has been a bit busy, so it naturally wasted a bit of time.”

“Young man, you sure are arrogant. Did you think that if you invite me and apply a bit of p**ssure, you’d be able to change things? How naive. You should know that whenever a person is in a position of power, they will face a lot of temptation. The scene today is something I’ve experienced for half my life!” Elder Song tried to intimidate Eric with his political status.

“What does Elder Song think I’ve invited him here for?” Eric sat down opposite the old man, completely unfazed by his ridicule.

“What else could it be? Aren’t you here because of your wife? From what I see, Emma is just a mere performer. If the industry decides to ban her, then so be it. You can always support someone else and make them famous. Is a simple woman worth all this?”

Eric looked at the old man. For a short moment, he realized how Song Xin came to be.

“I didn’t come here because of Emma, nor do I have any intention to apply p**ssure to you. I simply want to show you something.” After speaking, Eric pulled out his phone and played a recording prepared by Duan Jinghong.

“Up until this point, Song Xin has instructed me to do various wrong things. In particular, I would like to mention two recent incidences: firstly, she made me execute her scheme to have Jordyn bitten by a dog; secondly, she instructed me to provoke Wren into attacking Emma, causing Emma to almost have a miscarriage. I have conclusive evidence in my hands.”

“Song Xin has never been a good person. Even when she was a student, she exhausted all methods to achieve her motives. For example, to come first one year, she injured her competitor so they couldn’t attend the awards ceremony. Afterwards, she threatened them not to say a word, or else she’d get her grandfather to make their entire family jobless.”

“As soon as Emma asks me to surrender myself to the police, I will immediately tell them the truth. I’m sure, after the police confirm what I say, they will be able to convict her straight away…”

“Song Xin is good at acting, but she’s actually guilty of the most heinous crimes and she’s never felt bad for anything she’s done.”

After the recording finished, Eric retrieved his phone and looked at the stunned old man, “Did you think that an almighty CEO of an international corporation would have the spare time to scheme against your ‘kind-hearted’ granddaughter?”

Elder Song reached out his hand to snatch the phone from Eric’s hand, but Eric quickly dodged him, “Duan Jinghong has been good friends with Song Xin since their student days. After they graduated, they continued to work together. Duan Jinghong knows better than anyone how Song Xin is truly like and the things she has done.”

“Impossible. She is being slandered!” Elder Song exclaimed.

“We will know whether it’s slander or not after we call the police. Duan Jinghong is ready to surrender to the police at any time,” Eric laughed. “Duan Jinghong must have a lot to talk about. Let’s leave it to the police to ask her about every little incident, so those that have suffered, would not have suffered in vain.”

Elder Song’s exp**ssion darkened as he analyzed Eric’s face. He was not an average person and understood psychological warfare.

But, he couldn’t read anything from Eric’s face. Eric simply looked fearless.

This proved Eric’s confidence.

He wasn’t making up a story.

“Hmmph, if this is really the truth, you would have called the police by now. Why would you come to me?” Elder Song sneered.

“I am a person with a conscience. Before I called the police, I thought I’d let you know how your granddaughter is really like and give you a heads up. As it turns out, Elder Song is quite a righteous person and is willing to punish his own family member. Since you can’t wait for me to call the police, I’ll satisfy your request.”

After speaking, Eric called the police. But, just as the police picked up, the old man snatched the phone out of his hand and hung up, “Don’t act rashly.”

Eric looked at the old man with an amused smiled. He didn’t speak but he wasn’t angry.

Even so, Elder Song still experienced Eric’s king-like presence.

“What do you want?”

“It’s simple. All those you previously contacted to ban Emma, call them back and tell them to cancel their ban,” Eric replied; straightforwardly revealing his motive without hesitation.

“Are you telling me to go back on my words?”

“That’s your problem,” Eric’s voice slowly turned cold. “If you don’t feel sorry and guilty for all that your granddaughter has done, then there’s no reason for me to care about your pride. I simply want to see you slap yourself in the face.”

Elder Song turned his head, unwilling to accept this fate.

“What is it? Weren’t you telling me not to be arrogant just a moment ago? Where did all your strength go?”

“Elder Song, I almost forgot to tell you, if you don’t make up for your granddaughter’s actions today, I will have to get payback directly from her. Your granddaughter almost made my wife and two sons lose their lives. If your were me, how would you get payback?”

Elder Song opened his mouth, but nothing came out.

There was nothing he could say…

“One must payback for what they’ve done sooner or later. Will you pay me back, or will she pay me back?”

Elder Song had never suffered in such a way. He had never been rendered speechless by a youngster like this.

“Is a life worth so little in your eyes?”

Hearing this question, Elder Song calmed down and thought things over carefully. He understood that Eric’s actions weren’t wrong; as a man, protecting his wife was expected. As for Eric’s question about what a life was worth…

…how could it not be worth anything?

However, he never expected that he appeared so weak in his granddaughter’s eyes.

“Because of the way you’ve spoiled her, Song Xin acts without restraint. Don’t you think that you should be held responsible for what she’s done?”

The old man remained silent for a short moment before he took a deep breath, “Speak…what else do you want?”

Seeing that the old man was coming to a compromise, Eric leaned back in his seat and laughed, “You’re asking me what I want? I’m waiting for Elder Song to give me a satisfactory solution.”

“Apart from what I requested earlier, I’m waiting for Elder Song to show me what he’s capable of. I’ll give you one day to think it over. If I don’t see a response within one day, I will have to make a phone call to the police…”

The old man’s face turned blue. He was so angry that he couldn’t say a word. As he stood up, he almost fainted from his rising blood p**ssure and only managed to leave after Eric called for his secretary to escort him out.

If it wasn’t because of Elder Song’s inability to differentiate bet**en right and wrong, Eric would never make things difficult for an old man.

But, when an elder wasn’t deserving of respect, they would need to pay for their actions.

Apart from requesting Elder Song to remove Emma’s ban, Eric did not ask for anything else. Instead, he forced the old man to think carefully and to guess what he was thinking.

He wanted to see what the old man was willing to sacrifice in order to protect his granddaughter.

He also wanted to see the solution that the old man would come up with.

…

Song Xin was completely unaware that Elder Song had been made aware of her bad deeds. After returning home and seeing the old man sitting on the sofa, she originally wanted to make use of his authority again. But, Elder Song glared at her coldly and ordered, “Come over here.”

“Grandfather?” Song Xin appeared surprised.

“I told you to come here!” the old man repeated coldly.

Song Xin approached the old man curiously and cautiously. A moment later, she felt a burning sensation on her right cheek accompanied by a loud ‘PAK’ sound.
