Standing downstairs, Zhong Shaoting is so perceptive that he naturally feels the presence of Fang Hao who is upstairs, after which Zhong says: “Fang Hao, you are really a coward. Now we are taking your mother away, but you just watch it happen and even dare not come out to stop us. How do you deserve to be a son? Aren’t you afraid of hurting your mother who gave birth to you and brought you up?” Zhong’s words make Fang Hao very abashed. It is true that he has already lost too much because of his cowardice. So can he still hide himself upstairs with a clear conscience even when his mother is taken away? As it seems that Fang Hao will never go downstairs, Zhong Shaoting gives an ironical smile and says scornfully: “Coward, I will give you some time to have a psychological preparation. Two days later, come and see me in the X Park; if you don’t, I’m not sure what I’ll do to your mother, oh, and your family business, by the way. Ha-ha, remember, I’ll be waiting for you at eight o’clock in the morning two days later, so be there on time and I won’t wait after the set time.” After his words, Zhong Shaoting leaves with light steps, just like “very quietly I take my leave, as quietly as I came here”, and in the end “not even a wisp of cloud will I bring away”. But actually, Zhong Shaoting didn’t come “quietly”, nor did he really leave with “not even a wisp of cloud”.
Being threatened, Fang Hao feels very powerless. He is afraid that Zhong will hurt his mother and bring havoc on their family business. After thinking again and again, finally Fang Hao musters up his courage to meet Zhong Shaoting in the park. Getting to the park, Fang Hao finds his surroundings very quiet, with only few people hanging about and talking over there. Does Zhong Shaoting want to kill him in such a remote park? There are so few witnesses that no one will be an witness if he is killed here. Suddenly Fang Hao begins to feel sacred and wants to retreat. However, he has no time to make his decision as Zhong Shaoting arrives there at this moment. Looking at the man standing in front of him, Fang Hao feels that Zhong is really a domineering boss with a handsome appearance, a good taste in clothes, and a tough heart inside. “You are here. I thought you wouldn’t come after knowing we would meet in such a remote park.” Zhong Shaoting says ironically. Hearing Zhong’s words, Fang Hao is very ashamed as he really thought about leaving, but there was not enough time for him to put his plan into action.
Confronted with Zhong’s strong aura, Fang Hao forces himself to be calm: “Yes, I am here. Just tell me your requests. As long as you free my mother and my family business, I will try my best to do anything I can do for you.” Giving Fang Hao a glance, Zhong Shaoting says: “There is nothing serious. I just want you to help the company of Ding Manman’s family. As long as you bring their company from death, everything can be settled through our discussion.” Fang Hao feels very confused. According to Zhong Shaoting’s power, he can destroy the company of the Fang Family as simply as moving his fingers. So why does Zhong need him to help the Ding Family? Won’t it be faster if Zhong does it personally? However, Fang Hao dares not to speak out what he is wondering about. And at this moment, Fang Hao hates himself as he has no power to fight against Zhong Shaoting. He also hates Ding Manman, the heartless woman who abandoned him and found someone else with a higher position to suppress her ex-boyfriend in such a vile way. In fact, Fang Hao’s hate just comes from his jealousy of Zhong Shaoting who is not only powerful but also good-looking, and he hates Ding Manman who has found a better shelter.
Despite his resentment, Fang Hao knew that he truly loved Ding Manman, besides that his mother is now under the control of Zhong Shaoting, so he has to accept with a sigh: “OK, I agree.” But if Fang Hao thinks about it for a second time, he will remember his original plan to help the Ding Family which was stopped by his mother. Although his beloved girl has done such things to him, it won’t take him too much to help her family; in addition, this is also a way to fulfill his own wishes. As Fang Hao is very cooperative, Zhong Shaoting becomes friendlier and adds something else: “I hope that you can understand me completely. Compared with giving a man a fish, you’d better teach him how to fish. The investment projects of the Ding Family are not bad, but their way of management has some problems. So I hope that you can give them some guidance when you are free.” Fang Hao agrees quickly after Zhong Shaoting made such a request. He doesn’t want to make Zhong Shaoting angrier as Zhong may let him pay a higher price.
But before Zhong Shaoting turns away, Fang Hao asks: “What’s the relationship between you and Ding Manman? Why do you help her like this?” “I? I did hurt her before. But now I have realized that I like her, so I am trying my best to help her get rid of all the threats, and to help people around her solve their problems.” It is rare that Zhong Shaoting has such a good mood to explain to Fang Hao. “If I tell you that Ding Manman has lost her virginity, will you still try your best to help her seek justice?” Fang Hao questions Zhong aggressively. Hearing Fang Hao’s words, Zhong Shaoting smiles, as he is the man who took away Ding Manman’s virginity, why does he mind? But this Fang Hao attempts to drive a wedge between Ding Manman and him in this way, so that he won’t help the Ding Family and will let the Fang Family go. How dare he? Becoming serious again, Zhong Shaoting says coldly: “Stop your little tricks and your fantasy of changing anything. Just do what you should do. As I’ve told you, only when you finish your work will we have a discussion. So don’t be optimistic so early, remember I’ve never promised to let your mother and your family go.”
Fang Hao feels cold chills after Zhong Shaoting’s warning, so he shouts desperately: “How can you do this? Do you think you are omnipotent? Aren’t you afraid that I will tell everything to the police?” “Ah, go ahead. Let’s see whether the police will accept your case. By the way, I am not omnipotent, but I can destroy you as easily as killing some ants.” Zhong Shaoting threatens Fang. “Please, I beg you. Please let my mother go. As long as you agree to let her go, I would like to do everything for you” Fang Hao implores Zhong Shaoting. What a cowardly man! Fang Hao is so easy to be threatened that Zhong Shaoting, as a man, even feels ashamed of him. “Well, if you follow my instructions, I will assure you of your mother’s safety.” Zhong Shaoting says with a tough voice before he leaves.
Looking at Zhong’s receding figure, Fang Hao can’t keep standing anymore and falls down on the ground. Zhong Shaoting is really a terrible man who is resolute in action and can decide one’s life or death in a second. Fang Hao swears in his heart that he will work harder and harder so that he can do better than Zhong Shaoting one day. And when the day comes, he will absolutely let Zhong feel the same shame, as well as the powerlessness when his life is controlled by others. However, Fang Hao is just daydreaming. For one thing, he is not competent enough; for another, he is not brave enough, so how can he become successful as he wishes? Instead, he will only be doomed to failure.
