After Divorce, I Inherited the Game's Fortune-Chapter 560 - 480, apologize and admit cowardice (asking for monthly votes)_2

"No need to apologize!"

Yang Hao waved his hand with a stern face, "The incident has already happened, and we’ve already reported it to the police!"

"The police are already involved, just wait for their notification about the results!"

"Please, no!"

Lü Peng quickly shook his head, "Director Yang, things become complicated once the police are involved."

"Let’s settle this privately through negotiation!"

"I am willing to pay for the mistake my foolish son made!"

"As long as Director Yang is willing to forgive my son, we can discuss any conditions!"

Lü Peng bowed, his words very sincere, and his attitude extremely humble.

It’s truly pitiful, the heart of a parent!

When a son makes a mistake, the father can only step forward to clean up the mess!

Yang Hao made a troubled expression and shook his head, "I can understand how Director Lü feels!"

"However, the nature of this incident is too vile. If Director Lü had been at the scene, you probably wouldn’t be talking this way now!"

"Besides, I have no right to interfere with the police investigation, and even if I wanted to, they wouldn’t listen to me."

Having said that, Yang Hao shrugged slightly, "So, let’s just wait for the results from the police."

"Director Yang, you’re such a magnanimous person!"

"My son really knows he’s wrong this time. If you don’t believe me, I can bring him in to apologize to you right now!"

Lü Peng quickly spoke more flattering words.

"Then let him come in!"

"I want to see what he has to say."

"Right, I’ll have Shuyuan come in too, since she’s also a victim!"

Yang Hao already had a plan in his mind, but still, the preliminary steps were essential. Find your next adventure on novelbuddy

"Okay!"

Lü Peng nodded, quickly making a phone call to Lu Mingzhe.

A moment later.

Lu Mingzhe and Ye Shuyuan walked into the office, one after the other.

Upon entering the office, Lu Mingzhe stood next to his father with his head lowered, not daring to meet Yang Hao’s eyes.

At this moment, he had none of the arrogance from yesterday, only resembling a child who had erred, silently hiding behind his parent, waiting for them to clean up his mess.

"Speak!"

"Don’t you recognize Director Yang anymore?"

Lü Peng was very dissatisfied with his good-for-nothing son’s behavior; he was always so enduring when causing trouble!

But now, he had chickened out!

"Director Yang, hello!"

Lu Mingzhe had to step forward and greet him, though his voice was very low.

"Hmm, I didn’t expect our connection to be so deep!"

"We meet again."

Yang Hao returned with a smile.

"Yes, indeed, Director Yang and I really do have a connection!"

Lu Mingzhe echoed, squeezing out a forced smile on his face.

"Don’t you hurry to apologize to Director Yang!"

Lü Peng elbowed his son hard.

"Ah!"

Taking a deep breath, Lu Mingzhe slightly adjusted himself before finally speaking up, "Director Yang, I’m truly sorry. I was foolishly influenced by someone’s bad advice!"

"I hope you, as the greater person, can overlook my petty misdeeds and forgive me this once!"

As he said this, Lu Mingzhe bowed deeply, his stance seemingly sincere.

"Mr. Lu is too polite!"

Yang Hao waved his hand and said, "If Director Lü hadn’t mentioned it just now, I wouldn’t have known that this morning’s incident was actually Mr. Lu’s doing!"

"This..."

Hearing this, Lu Mingzhe glanced at his father out of the corner of his eye, thinking to himself: See, I told you he wouldn’t know!

The perceptive Lü Peng was speechlessly irritated and thought: You fool, it’s all intentional!

"But, Mr. Lu, next time you do something like this, try to involve some more capable people instead of a bunch of good-for-nothings!"

"Oh, I almost forgot!"

"The police have already intervened—Mr. Lu probably won’t get another chance!"

After saying this, Yang Hao shrugged his shoulders and then turned to Ye Shuyuan next to him, "Shuyuan, you didn’t expect this, did you?"

"It turns out that Mr. Lu planned this morning’s incident all by himself!"

Ye Shuyuan immediately frowned and criticized, "Lu Mingzhe, I never thought you were this kind of person!"

"Declining the marriage alliance was truly a wise decision!"

Lu Mingzhe’s face turned red, and he lowered his head, completely unable to rebut.

At this moment, he could no longer care about his pride since the police were involved, and he was indeed scared!

Having been enjoying his freedom outside, I really don’t want to go to jail!

Then, Lü Peng quickly took over the conversation, "Niece Shuyuan is right, not going through with the marriage was the correct decision."

"Mingzhe truly does not deserve you!"

Lü Peng first agreed, then glared fiercely at Lu Mingzhe, "Aren’t you going to apologize to Shuyuan right now?"

"Shuyuan, I apologize."

"This morning’s incident must have scared you!"

"But actually..."

Lu Mingzhe was going to say that he actually hadn’t targeted Ye Shuyuan.

But in front of Yang Hao, such words were hard to voice.

It was impossible to say that he just wanted to give Yang Hao a severe beating and didn’t intend to do anything to you!

So, he stopped talking halfway through.

Lü Peng then spoke again, "Director Yang, you’ve seen my son’s attitude."

"He truly knows he was wrong. What do you suggest we do about this?"

"Make any demand you wish. I will do my best as long as it’s within my power!"

Lü Peng stated this earnestly.

He wanted to resolve the matter quickly. Firstly, the police had already started their investigation, and he believed it wouldn’t take long for them to trace things back to Lu Mingzhe, so he didn’t have much time.

Secondly, he also wanted to use this opportunity to offer some benefits to Yang Hao, as a way to ingratiate himself with the new boss.

Thus, Lü Peng was already prepared to take the fall.

Once the groundwork was laid, Yang Hao stopped playing around. He cleared his throat and said, "Mr. Lu is still young—going to jail would indeed be a pity!"

"However, since a mistake has been made, a price must be paid!"

"Since Director Lü is willing to resolve this matter, let me share my thoughts."

At this point, Yang Hao paused slightly, then looked at Lü Peng and asked, "Director Lü, how many shares of the group do you own?"

"Uh, 12%."

Lü Peng did not expect Yang Hao to suddenly ask this question. He hesitated momentarily, then honestly replied.

"Well then, Director Lü, sell your shares to me!"

Yang Hao directly stated his demand, which he had decided on during the drive here.

If Lu Mingzhe doesn’t want to end up in jail, then the Lu family would have to bleed heavily. With Yang Hao’s current standing, it wasn’t something that could be resolved by just paying a little money.

Upon hearing Yang Hao’s words, both Lü Peng and Lu Mingzhe were shocked, their faces a mix of anguish and struggle.

Not only were the Master Lü greatly surprised, Ye Shuyuan next to them was also shocked by Yang Hao’s demand. She had thought that Yang Hao would ask for some money as compensation!

After all, no real harm had been done, so a simple extortion would have sufficed!

But to think, Yang Hao actually had his eyes on the Lu family’s 12% shareholding!

"Director Yang, are you aiming to buy all of my shares?"

After a brief silence, Lü Peng asked.

"Yes, all of them,"

Yang Hao nodded solemnly.

"Director Yang, I truly am very sincere about resolving the issue, but I really cherish my connection with our group and was thinking of retiring here!"

"So, could we possibly change the terms?"

The shares in the Hucheng Cultural Broadcasting Film and Television Group were something Lü Peng really didn’t want to part with—it was like a golden goose!

Holding shares meant huge dividends every year, which was the Lu family’s most important source of income!

"If Director Lü doesn’t want to sell, then let’s forget it!"

"I’m not one to coerce people."

Yang Hao smiled and spread his hands, then turned to ask Ye Shuyuan, "By the way, Shuyuan, how many likes did that video get?"

"Uh, over four hundred thousand."

Ye Shuyuan was slightly startled, then quickly understood; she had actually been following the video, having looked at related comments right before entering the office.
