Chapter 499
Was this his own father?
Jiang Hao looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, and for a moment, he didn't know how he should react.
Admittedly, Jiang Hao had fantasised countless times about meeting his father, but no matter what, he had never imagined that his first meeting with his own father would be at the moment of his greatest defeat and humiliation.
Jiang Hao felt somewhat ashamed of his father from the bottom of his heart. He had given himself ten billion before and after, but now what?
He had lost billions of dollars investing in the south of the city, and the rest of the money was frozen in his bank account.
It was almost like saying that he had lost all the money his father had given him.
Jiang Hao was so uncomfortable in his heart that he didn't know how on earth he was going to explain all this to his father.
Just at that moment, Xu Tianlin spoke up again, and he looked at Shen Haoting. His eyes were full of disdain as he questioned, "I'm f*cking talking to you, who the hell are you? What did you mean just now? What, you want to stand up for them? Oh. Can you do that? Don't even look at how much weight you have ......"
Before Xu Tianlin could finish his words, suddenly, a black-clothed youth sprang out from behind Shen Haoting, and with a fierce leap, jumped in front of Xu Tianlin, and before he could finish his words, he raised his hand and slapped out.
"Pa ......" after a clean slap sound, Xu Tianlin before he could react to what exactly happened, was heavily jerked away.
The young man in black who had raised his hand and struck Xu Tianlin then coldly said, "If you dare to speak nonsense again, I will directly gouge out your tongue!"
Xu Tianlin only felt as if his cheeks had been jerked off and his face was as painful as if it had been branded with an iron.
He lifted his head and looked at the man who had smacked him with a dumbfounded expression, as if he didn't quite understand what was happening.
But he seemed to understand one more thing: the man who had suddenly appeared seemed to be another master he could not afford to mess with.
The small interruption did not affect Shen Haoting at all, even to the extent that he did not even put Xu Tianlin in his eyes.
Indeed, this kind of mole's existence did not have the possibility to enter his eyes.
From the moment Shen Haoting entered the door. He had always kept his eyes on Jiang Hao's body.
Obviously, this was the first time he had been so close to his son after so many years.
Shen Haoting looked at Jiang Hao carefully and his eyes were shining, as if he had a thousand words to say to this son.
Shen Haoting flashed a small smile at Jiang Hao, nodded slightly and said, "Son, Dad is back."
Saying these words, Shen Haoting looked a little excited.
Although he was rich and powerful, he had been away from this land for so many years, and he had never returned.
It wasn't that he didn't want to, but he just couldn't. There were too many factors that Shen Haoting needed to consider.
And even though he had known the whereabouts of Jiang Hao more than ten years ago, he could not afford to recognise his son, or even let Jiang Hao know of his existence, even if he dared.
All this, of course, he did for Jiang Hao's sake, but as it was, it really did put Jiang Hao through a lot of trials and tribulations.
Every bit of the trials and tribulations that Jiang Hao had been subjected to since he was a child. Shen Haoting knew all of them.
Because if he had recognised Jiang Hao one step earlier, Jiang Hao would have been in more danger one day earlier.
At this moment, Jiang Hao was obviously a bit overwhelmed, he looked at Shen Haoting and hesitated to say anything.
In fact, Jiang Hao had so many things he wanted to say to his father, who was the most powerful man in the world, but when the words came to his lips, he forgot them all.
At that moment, Ye Yunjie nudged Jiang Hao and said with a smile, "Jiang Shao, what are you still standing there for? Mr. Shen is back, hurry up and go over?"
Jiang Hao nodded woodenly, and seemed to feel some Chen weight on his feet as he moved his steps.
He walked up to Shen Haoting's heels, his gaze always looking at the other man, he didn't know what kind of expression he should use to face his father.
Jiang Hao was actually excited in his heart. And yet there was some unspoken bitterness.
After all, for so many years, he had endured too many grievances arising from the lack of his father's love.
He wanted to tell his father all those grievances, but in the end, he swallowed them back.
Jiang Hao hesitated for a while. Only then did he silently sighed, hung his head and whispered, "Dad, I'm sorry, I let you down."
After all was said and done, what Jiang Hao actually wanted to say the most was still this matter.
After all, so much money ah, all wasted by himself for nothing. Jiang Hao felt that if he were in his father's shoes, there was absolutely no way he wouldn't hate himself.
But Shen Haoting's reaction was a little surprising to Jiang Hao.
He just gently patted Jiang Hao's shoulder, not only did he not have a hint of reproach, but instead he smiled slightly: "Son, Dad knows all about it, how can I blame you for this? Don't worry. Dad didn't blame you and won't be angry, the money was meant to pay for your tuition, it doesn't matter if you win or lose, not to mention that this is not an easy matter, it's good that you've managed to persevere until now."
Jiang Hao smiled with a surprised face, he looked up at Shen Haoting, his expression was incomparably surprised.
"Dad you ...... that is several billion ah, now ......" Jiang Hao sighed in frustration, "now the south of the city project has become a complete deadlock ah! "
Although Shen Haoting had just said that, Jiang Hao still felt a bit bad in his heart.
But Shen Haoting still laughed breezily and continued, "Haha son, don't worry. That mere few billion was meant for you to play around with, it doesn't matter if you lose or gain. And who said the south of the city project would die? You know. Why did Dad come all the way back?"
Shen Haoting smiled soberly and said boldly, "I just came back to help you! Hmph, I'd like to see who it is. Dare to cross me Shen Haoting!"
After speaking, Shen Haoting fiercely turned his head to look at Xu Tianlin, his gaze filled with killing intent.
And at this moment, Xu Tianlin was completely dumbfounded.
And the reason why he was dumbfounded. It was because he had just heard the conversation between Shen Haoting and Jiang Hao.
"Shen ...... Shen Haoting?" Xu Tianlin's eyes widened and he looked at Shen Haoting and Jiang Hao with incomparable surprise, his expression simply as ugly as if he had eaten a cockroach.
Xu Tianlin was practically on the verge of being dumbfounded, he had never expected, no matter what, that this middle-aged man in front of him would be Shen Haoting!
Really? Xu Tianlin was a little disbelieving at first, after all, he had never seen Shen Haoting in person either.
However, for some time in the past, the streets of Chujiang were filled with posters of Shen Haoting, and once Xu Tianlin recalled it and compared it with the middle-aged man in front of him, he was even more confused.
He never thought that he would end up involving Shen Haoting when he wanted to eat up a project in the south of the city.
Chapter 500
Although Xu Tianlin has never met Shen Haoting, he has heard of his reputation.
He is the richest overseas Chinese, the head of the Shen family, the number one overseas Chinese family, and it is said that his personal assets can be ranked in the top ten in Europe. Behind the scenes, no one knows how much money he actually has or how many industries he has.
Moreover, it is said that this Mr. Shen Haoting is a guest of many famous families in Europe, and even of several royal families.
Both his wealth and power are beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Not to mention his most important identity. But he was the head of the Shen family overseas, and this status alone was enough to crush many wealthy people of the same rank.
Because although those people were rich. But compared to the huge power of the Shen family, those people are simply not enough to be considered, at best they are just some profligate landlords.
The Shen family has been operating overseas for over a hundred years, and not only does it have a force of thousands of people under its command, but if it wants to, if it asks, there are plenty of people on that continent who are willing to give the Shen family face and do something unseemly for them.
Therefore, Shen Haoting is almost a god-like existence overseas.
Perhaps the Xu family was already considered a top-level existence in Chujiang, but in front of the Shen family, even if it was just one Shen Haoting, they were not even a fart.
At this moment, Xu Tianlin finally understood. Why this Jiang Hao, who did not look as old as he was, could control such a huge amount of money and have a shrewd woman like Ye Yunjie willingly assist him.
The reason is simple because his father is Shen Haoting!
With such a bullying father, not to mention a mere south of the city project, as long as Jiang Hao is willing, he can buy Chu Jiang all ......
The first thing you should do is to think that Jiang Hao is an idiot and that you can play him to death in a minute.
I did not know that I was simply an ant in front of others.
Xu Tianlin was starting to get a little worried.
He was worried about what he should do next, whether he should continue to think about the big cake of the South of the City project or not.
After all, the real master behind this project had already appeared.
If he knew that he had tried every possible way to calculate his business and almost caused his son to sell the South City project for nothing. Wouldn't he kill himself?
When Xu Tianlin thought of this, he felt a pang of numbness in his scalp.
Obviously, even though things had come to this point, and the cake had reached his mouth, Xu Tianlin still did not have the courage to eat it.
After all, if he dared to be so reckless, he would probably end up losing his life instead of eating the cake.
It would be more than worth the loss!
As he thought, Xu Tianlin secretly moved his steps towards the door.
He wanted to get out of here quietly while no one was looking.
But who would have thought that he had just moved two steps when he felt a lightness in his feet, followed by a tightening of his collar behind him. Surprisingly, he was lifted up directly from behind.
"Where do you want to go?"
Xu Tianlin was simply terrified and turned his head to look, only to find that the one who lifted him. It was the youth who had just slapped himself.
The youth was so strong that at this moment, he picked up his entire body by the collar of his shirt and lifted himself up without any effort at all.
Xu Tianlin's heart was pounding and he said incoherently, "I ...... this ...... I am not ......"
Before he could finish his sentence, he heard the youth sneer. Said, "But you just scolded Mr. Shen, and you want to leave like that?"
When Xu Tianlin heard the other party's words, he was simply stunned, and his body involuntarily trembled.
"I ...... didn't mean to, I didn't know he was Mr. Shen Haoting Shen, if I had known. How dare I say that? Big ...... brother, you let me go, I ...... I apologize, I apologize to Mr. Shen still can't I?"
The youth laughed lightly again, "Apologize? If apologies were useful, why would humans have to invent guns?"
After saying that, the youth looked at Shen Haoting and asked in a deep voice, "Mr. Shen, how to deal with this person?"
Shen Haoting looked Xu Tianlin up and down and said indifferently, "Is he the one who has been behind the City South project? Oh, would you say that you have courage? Or are you fearless if you don't know?"
Shen Haoting barely thought and said casually, "Deal with him."
As soon as he heard the word deal with, Xu Tianlin immediately felt like the roots of his hair were about to explode.
Of course he knew very well. What the other party meant by dispose of, he didn't want to die just like that!
"No...... you can't kill me!" Xu Tianlin shouted incomparably nervously, "Mr. Shen. I know I'm wrong, just give me one more chance, I promise from now on I'll leave Chu Jiang. I promise I will never appear again, I know I'm wrong, just let me go ......"
Shen Haoting gave a cold laugh." What, regret? But it's too late, in this world, you and I are gambling, if you win the bet, you can go to the next game, and if you lose, there will be no more chance to regret."
After finishing his words, Shen Haoting waved his hand directly, signalling the youth to take Xu Tianlin out.
Xu Tianlin was completely dumbfounded and struggled desperately.
He shouted, "You can't do this to me, do you know who my father is? My father is Xu Lord, he is the richest man in Chujiang, our Xu family is very powerful in Chujiang, if you dare to do anything to me, my father will not let you go ......"
Shen Haoting seemed to be a bit impatient and waved his hand at the young man who was restraining Xu Tianlin, signaling that he should not let Xu Tianlin scream any more.
Instead, he just gave a faint sneer, "The Chu family Xu family? Fine, then I'd like to see how big a wave his Xu Family can make!"
After Shen Haoting finished speaking, he stopped caring about what was going on over there.
The youth dragged Xu Tianlin out like a dead dog.
At the very beginning, Xu Tianlin was still struggling and hissing desperately, but shortly after he was dragged out of the room, his hissing voice suddenly disappeared.
A moment later, the young man came back with a calm face and said respectfully, "Mr. Shen, it has been dealt with, may I ask what happens next?"
Shen Haoting didn't even turn his head back, he just said coldly, "Didn't he say that his father said Xu Liao? Then go and send him back to the Xu family!"
The youth nodded his head repeatedly, "Understood Mr. Shen, then these few people ......"
The youth turned to look at those few people who had come to collect the debt.
At once, those few people were almost scared to death on the spot!
Obviously, just now, when Shen Haoting had declared himself, he had been about to scare several of them to death.
