Chapter 71 - Selling the Shop (1/2)
He saw his father, Wang Ping. Wang Ming couldn't believe that Wang Ping had the balls to come to this market. Especially after what he did last time. He had made a lot of trouble last time, Peng Tong should have blacklisted him already. Wang Ping was still a hundred meter's away so Wang Ming wasn't sure if he could see him. Was he here for him? Or did he have any other plans?
Seeing Wang Ping walking closer towards him, Wang Ming didn't know what to do. Should he face his father or leave now, pretend that he never saw him? But before he could think more about it, Wang Ping stopped in front of his son. With a big smile, he gave Wang Ming a hug.
”Hello my son, how are you doing! I see you're healthy now. Let me congratulate you, let's get a beer, me and you then talk about old times!”
Wang Ming didn't know what Wang Ping wanted, but he was sure it wasn't something good. His father had never treated him like an equal, for him to do it now meant that he wanted something from him.
”What do you want, Wang Ping? You're ballsy to walk around in Peng Tong's territory, after what you did last time. Let's talk here I'm busy I have things to do.”
”You!”
It pissed Wang Ping off his son, had turned become defiant, so fast. It had only been a more than a month ago where his son would listen to everything he said. Even if it was stupid and selfish. Calming himself down, Wang Ping tried one more time. It's crucial that he ropes Wang Ming in his standing in the HouZi Gang depends on this.
”Son, I know I haven't been good to you in the past. But I'm trying to rectify what happened between us. I just need a small favor from you, that's all. I've talked with Brother Hou, he's assured me he won't pursue you anymore as long as you do this for us and for me. I need you to set up a meeting with Peng Zhong, Peng Tong's big brother. I promise no one will know you had any part in this. We will even give you 1 million yuan, so you can take off or do whatever you want with the money. I know you're good friends with Peng Tong, but it's not him we want to harm but Peng Zhong it shouldn't matter to you.”
”What? No. Why would I do this for you? I don't even need money.”
Wang Ming knew it. What disappointed him the most was that his father didn't even bother to mask his intentions. He just wanted to use him, that's all he wanted. To secure his spot in the HouZi Gang. Even though Wang Ming's a sentimental person he's not stupid. Even if he wanted to help his father, he couldn't betray his little brother like this.
He had never met Peng Zhong before, but what Wang Ming has today, Peng Zhong contributed to it indirectly.
”No. Are you done? I need to go now.”
Wang Ming didn't even want to see his father's face now after this. He had never changed. What rectify their relationship? This just made everything worse. Wang Ming didn't care anymore and walked towards Weng Ping's shop.
”Stop Wang Ming. STOP NOW! If you don't take this opportunity, my standing in the HouZi Gang will weaken!”
Seeing that Wang Ming kept walking away, Wang Ping tried one last time.
”STOP! Think about your life, the danger you put everyone around you in. If you don't help me the HouZi Gang will spare no effort in hunting you down. Please Wang Ming, I beg you. Just do this for me!”
