Chapter 946 - 938: You Guessed Right
"You can’t blame me either. You were just a child then. How could I tell you about such things? You should have had a happy childhood, and you and Sisi have not had it easy all these years." Hu Jingtang reminisced about the scenes from when the two children were little.
Liu Rui saw the conversation going off track, so he hurriedly said, "Grandpa, we now have a chance to get Father out, but it depends on whether you’re willing to help."
"If there’s such a good thing, then I will definitely help. Do you have any good ideas?" Hu Jingtang asked.
"The father of the person who put my father in jail is now sick. They’re begging Lin Mu to treat his father. This is certainly a good opportunity to negotiate," Liu Rui said, without making things too clear. He was first testing his grandfather’s attitude, understanding that his grandfather would likely not want to take advantage of someone else’s misfortune. Sure enough, he was right.
"Isn’t it a bit unethical to do that, using someone’s father’s life to threaten them? Besides, I don’t think Xiao Yifei would agree," Hu Jingtang said.
"Grandpa, their father’s life is a life, but should my father’s wasted days in prison just be wasted like that?" Liu Rui suddenly got angry.
"Don’t rush. Aren’t we discussing it now? If it’s really feasible, then go for it. I won’t stop you," Hu Jingtang said, softening his stance as he saw Liu Rui was upset.
Liu Rui realized his attitude was a bit harsh. He didn’t know what had gotten into him. He had always been indifferent to everything, yet here, he was easily angered. Feeling embarrassed, he changed his sitting position. His grandfather was hospitalized and still he was getting angry, which really shouldn’t have happened.
"Grandpa, there’s definitely no problem with this. That person has a high position now, and releasing my father would be a very simple matter. Also, we’re not making things difficult for him. Once he releases my father, his father will be saved. It’s such a simple choice, shouldn’t it be easy to decide?" Liu Rui said, with a trace of imperceptible ruthlessness flashing in his eyes.
"The main goal now is to persuade Lin Mu to cure Deng Fuguo’s father’s illness. I know Xiao Yifei can save him, as long as he uses the Xiao family’s ancestral skills," Liu Rui analyzed.
