Song Mingsheng, upon hearing this, immediately broke out in a cold sweat: "Not good But you were... before"
"That was before!" Wang Zheng looked down on Song Mingsheng with disdain: "You truly have no awareness at all. Before, when I tried to negotiate cooperation sincerely and you refused to cooperate, did you need someone to hold a knife to your neck for you to listen But let me tell you, it's too late! Please understand that now you're buying your life back! Do you think the conditions you just mentioned are enough to buy back your life"
Song Mingsheng knew that what Wang Zheng said was indeed true. All the stars' endorsements could only increase some profit for Phantom Spirit Crystal, but it still wasn't enough to buy his life back.
With gritted teeth, Song Mingsheng seemed to have made up his mind and declared: "I'll personally offer the Song Family Media Group!"
Wang Zheng toyed with the dagger in his hand, smiling slyly: "The entire Song Family Media Group This condition is quite powerful, but it's only half."
Hearing this, Song Mingsheng was furious yet somewhat depressed. After all, his life was in Wang Zheng’s hands; he couldn't even negotiate.
"Half Half That's everything I can offer!" Song Mingsheng roared with a mournful tone. Indeed, Wang Zheng had made an exorbitant demand as expected by him, but the entire Song Family Media Group still could not satisfy his demands. What else did he want
"I can give you a hint—if you do it, I'll spare your life; otherwise, I'll kill you right now to eliminate future problems."
"Speak," Song Mingsheng said despondently.
"Replace Song Mingwei and become the heir of the Song Family." Wang Zheng squinted his eyes and said.
"You want me to replace my older brother" Song Mingsheng seemed to have come to a realization: "Do you want me to become the head of the Song Family, then hand over the family to you"
"Smart," Wang Zheng nodded slightly but his eyes shone with cunning: "I didn't ask for you to give the Song Family to me—I only asked for you to be my secret sponsor in the Song Family. How about that"
Song Mingsheng was silent.
What a secret sponsor, boiled down to it, meant he would become Wang Zheng's puppet—if he became the head of the Song Family, then the Song Family would surely fall into Wang Zheng’s hands. Why did he always feel such profound helplessness in front of this rival How could every move be completely controlled by the other side Why could he clearly sense that there was absolutely no hope for a comeback
But for some reason, Song Mingsheng had already seen his future from Wang Zheng. He would surely end up in Wang Zheng’s grasp with no room to maneuver.
Becoming the head of the Song family has always been Song Mingsheng's dream. Who wouldn't want to hold great power and who would be willing to remain in someone else’s shadow However, in his grandfather's eyes, Song Mingsheng was a playboy with no ambition, and even though he ran Song Media Group very successfully, it wasn’t seen as the right path. The Song family elder only favored the eldest son, Song Mingwei. If nothing unexpected happened, he would naturally become the future head of the Song family.
But even so, Song Mingsheng still wanted to give it a try. Even if he became the family head and was just a puppet for Wang Zheng, he had to at least attempt it. Moreover, if he were to become the family head, his situation would definitely change.
This clearly shows how power can ignite human desires.
As these thoughts crossed his mind, the dim light in Song Mingsheng's eyes gradually disappeared.
"But you must know our family situation," said Song Mingsheng. "Although my older brother appears honest and upright on the surface, he is actually more cunning than anyone else. If I even hint at wanting to compete for the position of head of the family, he will likely treat me as an enemy and eliminate me first."
Song Mingsheng raised his head and said, "If you can help me become the head of the family, I am willing to have the Song family serve you."
Wang Zheng was quite satisfied with Song Mingsheng's attitude. However, he remained silent for a full minute before turning around and standing with his hands behind his back. He then said, "Now, prove your sincerity."
The moment Wang Zheng spoke, Li Gang and Song Mingsheng immediately felt the tension in the room increase!
Li Gang stared at Song Mingsheng, completely bewildered. Prove sincerity How could he do that when he had already offered to hand over control of the Song family
However, upon hearing Wang Zheng's words, an unprecedentedly serious expression appeared on Song Mingsheng’s face and his breathing suddenly became rapid!
Song Mingsheng tightly clenched both fists, lowered his head, and his Adam's apple moved up and down slowly while his eyes gradually turned red.
Wang Zheng remained with his hands behind his back, facing away from them. No one spoke, and in the room, all that could be heard was Song Mingsheng’s heavy breathing. The atmosphere suddenly became eerie and terrifying.
The seconds ticked by. After what seemed like an eternity, Wang Zheng still maintained a calm demeanor without any hurry.
Song Mingsheng felt the pressure on his back growing heavier and heavier until he wanted to shout out loud.
Finally, with Li Gang staring in amazement and Wang Zheng looking indifferent, Song Mingsheng, after an intense inner struggle, closed his eyes, bent his knees, and knelt down before Wang Zheng!
A man never kneels! Regardless of who you are or how much of a playboy or rogue you might be, no one would willingly bow to another. Throughout history, countless people have chosen death over kneeling.
Under Wang Zheng's overwhelming pressure, Song Mingsheng's act of kneeling completely shattered his pride and cut off all avenues for him to turn back!
The immense humiliation, regret, and confusion that followed the act of kneeling filled Song Mingsheng’s heart.
Henceforth, Song Mingsheng only had two paths to choose from: either he would become Wang Zheng's loyal lapdog, a mad dog ready to bite at his master's command; or he would treat Wang Zheng as his greatest enemy and seek revenge with all his might until the latter was dead. Only then could his humiliation be avenged.
However, how could Wang Zheng give him such an opportunity for vengeance
This act of kneeling would cause Song Mingsheng to undergo a complete transformation.
After ten minutes, Wang Zheng turned around and said with narrowed eyes: "You wanted to kill me. Now I've left you half-dead; from now on, any honor that you desire, I can help you achieve it. But if there's anything I want, all I have to do is take it whenever I like. What I seek is the entire Song Family. Do you understand"
Song Mingsheng gritted his teeth and only answered after a minute: "I understand."
Wang Zheng smiled: "That's good then. Use your schemes to acquire what rightfully belongs to you. Don't you want to see how far you can go"
The light returned to Song Mingsheng’s eyes and he nodded vigorously, then stood up with a heavy breath, giving Wang Zheng one last look before turning away.
When Wang Zheng spoke at this moment, it almost caused the heavily burdened Song Mingsheng to stumble.
"Make sure Song Haining marries Su Tianran. This is your first assignment."
Looking at Song Mingsheng’s retreating figure, Wang Zheng smiled faintly. But Li Gang who remained felt a strong sense of dread from the narrowed eyes!
Song Mingsheng had to sell out his dignity and even his entire family just to gain a slim chance of survival, whereas he was unable to offer such valuable assets! How could he survive
Turning towards Li Gang with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, Wang Zheng bent down, pressing the blade against Li Gang's face: "Tell me. How do you want to die"
Hearing this, Li Gang felt the chill of the blade on his cheek and immediately showed fear in his eyes as he hastily said, “I don't want to die; I don’t want to die—I’ll kneel!”
Li Gang made a show of kneeling, but Wang Zheng kicked him away again, sending him crashing into another wall and dazing him.
"I don't need you to kneel." Wang Zheng spoke coldly, "Since you want to kill me, naturally I have to take some interest."
"W-what... what interest" Li Gang panicked and said.
"Letting you die once."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Zheng didn't wait for Li Gang's response. He immediately clamped his large hand around Li Gang's neck and gradually tightened it, making Li Gang feel breathless instantly. The veins on the back of his neck and forehead bulged out, with his face turning red!
At this moment, Li Gang's huge body was already being lifted up by Wang Zheng with just one hand. He struggled in mid-air, both hands desperately trying to pry open Wang Zheng's hand in an attempt to break free, but he found it useless. That hand felt like an iron clamp, tightly holding onto his neck. Li Gang could only feel the increasing difficulty of breathing!
Li Gang had rolled his eyes upwards; at this moment, for the first time, he felt so close to death!
Just then, Wang Zheng's phone rang.
"Consider yourself lucky." Wang Zheng loosened his grip and Li Gang’s heavy body crashed onto the floor. He clutched at his chest as he panted heavily.
This was also due to Wang Zheng not having any intention of killing him, otherwise if Wang Zheng had held him up for a little longer, Li Gang would have broken his spine instantly and died!
As soon as the call connected, an anxious voice from the other end came through: "Wang Zheng, you need to come back quickly! Liu Xuan hasn't returned yet and I can’t get in touch with her!"
Hearing this, Wang Zheng’s eyes narrowed immediately, his gaze terrifyingly sharp. “What happened”
"Originally, we had already made an appointment with Liu Xuan to continue filming a night scene tonight, but she hasn't shown up at the shooting location since evening. When I called her, it turned out that her phone was off. After Zhang Xiaomou found her school, her classmates said that she had left early. It’s been several hours now, please don’t let anything happen to her!"
"Don't worry." Wang Zheng pondered for two seconds and then spoke in a serious tone: "You and Sheng Fei confirm if Zhu Feng is still at school right now. He's Liu Xuan's classmate; the one who was severely beaten by me last time, Sheng Fei knows him."
"I've already checked— Zhu Feng isn't there either!" Sheng Fei picked up the phone, her tone filled with extreme anxiety.
