The matter deployed by Ji Rui and Yang Sheng had reached the final stage when he received a call from Mr. Ji, his father.
When Mr. Ji called, Yang Sheng and Le Tong were still there.
Ji Rui didn't step away and answered the call directly, saying into the receiver, "If you're calling to plead on their behalf, I advise you to save your breath!"
Hearing his opening line, Yang Sheng sensibly pulled Le Tong out of the room.
"Ah Ru, after all, they are your brothers; can you really be ruthless towards them?"
Mr. Ji's voice was both old and weary, lacking the ruthless vigor he once had in the business world.
"Ha, brothers?"
Ji Rui let out a cold laugh and said no more.
"Ah Ru, they did go too far, but just give them a lesson and let it go, no need to be so absolute!"
The father and son had little in common to talk about; every time they called, it was either about Ji Rui's lifelong matters or his two "good brothers."
