The assistant took Ming Rusheng to the pub unwillingly and later called Zhang Wei to inform about it. He knew only Zhang Wei could handle Ming Rusheng in such a condition.
When Zhang Wei arrived, he saw Ming Rusheng was sitting on the couch, half lying back and drunk. The center table in front of him had dozens of empty liquor bottles.
"Ming Rusheng!" Exclaiming Zhang Wei went to him and made him sit straight. "Why are you doing this to yourself?"
Though Ming Rusheng was drunk, he could understand what was going around. "I need this to forget about her or I don’t know what I will do."
"I told you to forget about her. She doesn’t belong to you, so stop thinking about her and ruining your life like this. What you are doing is wrong, Ming Rusheng."
"Uncle, I know I should not think about her and I am trying hard like crazy to not do so. It was somewhat working but today she came in front of me and the wall I built around my heart collapsed again and broke everything inside me."
Zhang Wei patted his back. "I know you are trying your best but if you keep doing this, then it’s a waste."
"I thought I could do it, but the more I try to avoid it, the more I want her. It doesn’t matter even if she is married. I want to be with her, talk to her, I want her to be by my side, I want to touch her and I want to have her only for myself but I can’t do it even if she is in front of me."
"Ming Rusheng, get back to your senses. Stop talking bullshit." Zhang Wei shouted.
"How come my love is bullshit for you, uncle? That bastard Lu Qiang has her and he touches her and...." Ming Rusheng ran both hands through his hair and clutched them in his palms as if his head was hurting. "I-I can’t take it. I think I will just go crazy. Why doesn’t that bastard just disappear? I want her uncle. I want her and for that, I can do anything."
It scared the hell out of Zhang Wei. It worried him that it might lead Ming Rusheng to do something bad. He knew there was no use of talking to him at the moment so he took Ming Rusheng back to the home and thought to talk to him later, the next day.
When he brought Ming Rusheng home and put him to sleep, there was an incoming call on Ming Rusheng’s mobile. To Zhang Wei’s surprise, that was a call from Xi Cheng. Zhang Wei went out with Ming Rusheng’s mobile and received the call.
"Why are you calling my Nephew at this late hour?"
Xi Cheng got who was on the other side of the line and spoke. "My dear friend, your Nephew is my friend now as we have the same goal."
"What goal?" Zhang Wei asked coldly.
"To get that Lu Qiang out from our lives."
Zhang Wei frowned. "Let’s meet somewhere."
Xi Cheng agreed. "Sure. you can come to our usual place."
"I told you already." Xi Cheng replied.
"What do you mean by trying to take Lu Qiang out from your lives?"
"No Lu corporation and No president Lu Qiang."
"Why are you doing this? Are you that greedy to get the power or there is something else?" Zhang Wei always had a doubt that there was something serious and Xi Cheng was hiding it.ata
"Everyone wants power and for that, there is always one that should be sacrificed and this time it’s Lu Qiang." Xi Cheng replied calmly.
"I think you are hiding something from me. I don’t think there is just one reason that you are behind Lu Qiang after so many years. Tell me the truth."
"What truth. Weren’t we behind Lu Jinhai before? This time it’s his son."
Zhang Wei didn’t believe Xi Cheng’s words. "This time it seems different from your side. I am curious what weakness of yours Lu Qiang had that you never try to cross him and now you are planning something behind his back?"
"What weakness. At that time, he pulled out a few things that both of us had to back down." Xi Cheng denied.
"I will not buy it this time. Tell me the truth. I guess soon Mrs. Xi will kick you out of the business and she will get help from Lu Qiang."
"Hmm! You already know it so what’s the point of asking me, Zhang Wei?"
"Because I am sure there is something else too that only Lu Qiang is aware of and you fear it. That’s why you are trying to get rid of him."
Hearing it, the expressions on Xi Cheng’s face changed that he tried to control but Zhang Wei noticed it and said, "I am not interested in what is there that you are trying to hide. I just want you to keep Ming Rusheng out of it or I won’t care about our friendship."
"Are you threatening me, my friend?" Xi Cheng asked.
"For now, it’s just a warning." Zhang Wei replied.
"Are you not worried that I might reveal what you did with the daughter of the Ming family."
This affected Zhang Wei, who looked threatening a moment before, but he maintained his stand. "I am old now and I have no wish left. You can do whatever you want with me, I don’t care."
"I wonder, what will happen to the old Mr. Ming if he gets to know about it?" Xi Cheng knew the weak point of the whole scenario in the past.
