Chapter 94: High-handed and Exalted

  Zhang Shidong's performance left Jiang Yongnian speechless once again.

  I'm waiting for you out of respect, did you think I couldn't take down that iron rooster?

  If it weren't for Jiang Xueyu's relationship with me, I would have taken care of this guy long ago. Money or not is just a small matter.

  "Alas, for the sake of a woman, I've even abandoned my principles. You're making me pay such a huge price and yet you're still wasting my time. Forget it, just arrange a first-class ticket for tonight's flight."

  Jiang Yongnian wanted to point at Zhang Shidong and shout that one can't be too shameless as a human being, but he only thought about it. Instead, he pressed the intercom on his desk: "Let General Manager Ma come in."

  Zhang Shidong gave him a knowing look, once again making Jiang Yongnian furious, but he suppressed his anger, not wanting to let the other party feel the anger of being an elder, which would be equivalent to indirectly acknowledging the relationship between his daughter and him now without any commitment.

  Frustration is the only emotion that Jiang Yongnian has at this moment, being forced into a corner by a young man and unable to fight back. Once he fights back, he must use his identity as an elder or possibly future father-in-law, which is not allowed for someone like Jiang Yongnian who never admits defeat and values promises. Even though he also saw that Du Yuan was using the people sent by him, he still acknowledged the other party in his heart. Being afraid on the island made him a bit disappointed, but that's also human nature. Who can remain calm and composed in such a situation?

  Just thinking of this, he involuntarily cast his gaze at the guy sitting there with his legs crossed and smoking, the life he chose may not be the most correct one, but it must be the most suitable for him.

  Ma Sanquan no longer had the demeanor of a big boss, despite still wearing expensive brand-name shirts and watches. His face was already filled with gloom. Within one day, all the company's chains had problems, and its subsidiaries in several provinces were hit. The blows from both the black and white worlds left him completely stunned. After asking around, he found out that the cause of it all was that 10 million yuan. He went to Jiang Yongnian to apologize and seek help, but the answer he got was that the 10 million had turned into 20 million. And just as he was thinking of taking a shortcut, he suffered his biggest blow yet - the tax bureau officially launched an investigation, and the procuratorate intervened.

  This made Ma Sanquan thoroughly panicked, and he used all his connections to barely stabilize the situation. Some tax evasion is unavoidable for every company, especially those that have grown up relying on relationships and personal connections. There are inevitably some gray areas, but everyone tacitly agrees to pretend they don't know about it.

  Found Jiang Yongnian again, Ma Sanquan was no longer begging for mercy, but completely and utterly begging for forgiveness. He had only one last resort, which was to play the black card, but this happened to be the opponent's strongest point. He found some people, mortgaged some properties, borrowed a part of the funds, and scraped together 200 million in cash to deposit into his bank account. With a humble attitude of begging for mercy, he came to see Zhang Shidong.

  Jiang Yongnian was also puzzled as to why Ma Sanquan would be so afraid, even if Zhang Shidong had done all this, it wouldn't have been enough to make a wealthy man like Ma Sanquan take such a lowly attitude.

  Soon, he knew the reason. Just this morning, when Ma Sanquan couldn't hold on and dozed off, a bloody dagger was hung on the wall behind his head, with blood dripping onto Ma Sanquan's head, scaring him so much that the back of his neck felt cool all day, as if someone wanted his head...

  In the face of 200 million and life, Ma Sanquan learned to choose. He thought of that on the island, thought of those who died miserably, and the more he thought about it, the more afraid he became. Outside the law, there was a group of people who completely disregarded the law and rules. They took pleasure in breaking rules, and life in their eyes might not be as valuable as 100 million.

  Ma San's posture was very low, completely without the domineering and arrogance that a billionaire should have. In front of Zhang Shidong, he looked like a student who had done something wrong, obediently accepting punishment, sitting on the sofa without saying a word. That appearance made people feel that he was not at all the big rich man who controlled tens of billions in his hands.

  A bank card worth 200 million yuan was placed on the coffee table. Ma Sanquan sat for over ten minutes before leaving. After he left, Zhang Shidong's face suddenly turned gloomy, and Jiang Yongnian's expression wasn't good either. However, he didn't think that his old friend of over a decade would deceive him.

  Zhang Shidong picked up his bank card: "Do you think he's really afraid? A billionaire with a temper like this?"

  Is this for real?

  Of course it's not this kind of nature?

  Ma Sanquan still couldn't help himself after seeing Zhang Shidong, and subconsciously acted out a bit too much, portraying a humble and fearful person to perfection, without any flaws. The only flaw was his identity, having spent many years in the business world, rising from scratch to owning tens of billions in assets. Although the sudden impact had greatly affected his physical body, this wasn't a reason for him not to have even a bit of courage.

  Zhang Shidong's gaze before he left made Jiang Yongnian's heart skip a beat. This was a real killer, Old Ma's side...

  Jiang Yongnian picked up the phone and was about to dial Ma Sanquan, having already pressed several numbers. After thinking for a moment, he put down his mobile phone again. Heaven's mistakes can be forgiven, but human mistakes cannot be tolerated. He had already been kind and righteous to the extreme.

  "Black sheep, how are you?"

  A few minutes later, Hei Yang stood in front of Jiang Yongnian's office desk.

  "Director Jiang is a man of his word, and my brothers are willing to come." Hei Yang has been busy for the past two days, contacting old brothers from the past since returning from the island. Most of them were dissatisfied with their lives, but the trust between sworn brothers remained strong after all these years. After Hei Yang's promise, they all packed up and headed this way.

  "Take a trip to Pingjiang yourself and protect Zhang Shidong's family."

  ……………

  Right under the headquarters building of Tiandi Group, Gong Paozi knelt down in front of Zhang Shidong's car.

  In Zhang Shidong's car, his uncle Luli was playing with a dark green venomous snake.

  "Old man, you're getting on in years, so let's just drop it."

  "Want to go see a different world?"

  Zhang Shidong opened the car door and got in, smelling a special light fragrance that was somewhat pungent but lingered in his nostrils for a long time, giving him a refreshing feeling. He looked at Gong Baozi, who was still kneeling there, and said, "The old man is getting on in years and shouldn't be made to work so hard anymore. The northern weather isn't suitable for him either."

  Gong Baozi raised his head, a look of surprise on his face, without any other emotions mixed in, purely as a grandson's love and respect for his elders.

  "The old man can't go, you can go now, the country's policy is very good."

  Gong Paozi's face showed a hint of anger, but he gritted his teeth and suppressed the flames of rage in his heart, not refuting Zhang Shidong's unreasonable demands.

  "Considering you're a filial person, I'll remind you of this: if I don't make a move against you, will everything be alright? Former enemies will look for opportunities, and the younger generation in your family won't continue to stir up trouble, will they? And as for Mi Rou Rou in the south, will she show mercy to them?"

  Zhang Shidong started the car and left the parking lot, leaving behind a frowning Gong Baozi. The shock of this conversation was too great for him to remember to get up from the ground until his legs felt numb and he sat down on the ground, holding his knees and staring blankly ahead. He thought about what was in front of him, but not what was behind him. What would happen to those young people in the family who were spoiled? They were full of hatred for Mǐnuònuò, and if someone did something out of line, what would be the result? For some time, Mǐnuònuò had been acting abnormally active, obviously using a big mocking technique, expecting someone from the Gong family to take action, and then...

  Thinking of the consequences, Gong Baozi couldn't bear the pain in his knees anymore, so he crawled up from the ground, got on the car, took out his phone, and convened a meeting with the main members of the family. As for him, he had to go disturb Old Master once again.

  Lamborghini drove onto the highway, a green snake hissing and coiled around the steering wheel to guide the way. Facing Zhang Shidong, it seemed a bit afraid, and after that time at the Sofitel Hotel, it thoroughly developed a fear of this man.

  "Go!"

  As soon as they arrived at the seaside, Zhang Shidong's speed had just come down, and Taishu Liu lifted her arm. A green snake coiled around her arm, a black shadow swooped down from the air, Taishu Liu left the car, suspended in mid-air by a giant eagle, flying towards the sea surface.

  "Damn it!" Zhang Shidong slammed on the brakes, watching as the figure in mid-air disappeared into the darkness. He raised his middle finger, lit a cigarette and took two puffs, shaking his head.

  A figure in the sea water, captured on camera and becoming an overnight internet sensation, riding the wind and waves, at an unimaginable speed, constantly changing direction and swimming quickly through the water.

  "Ptooey, gotcha! Thump chest three times, pinch butt three times, ptooey!" As Zhang Shidong spat out seawater, he cursed while trying to lock onto the figure in mid-air.

  A speedboat was also heading in the direction the two were fleeing, with two figures standing on it holding night vision binoculars and looking at the distant figure moving at a speed far beyond human limits. A calm and gentle voice asked: "Po Jun, you..."

  "I'll get close, at most I'll just lightly injure him. If I don't get close, there might still be a chance." A stiff and cold voice, with a medium height and build, holding binoculars and standing steadily at the front of the speedboat, not affected in the slightest by the shaking, swaying, or sea breeze.

  "Is it really that strong?"

  "It's not just strength, it's beyond the limits. His overall physical intensity must be at least several times mine to achieve such speed. Hmm? Tianlu, if you don't want to make an enemy of him, stop now, he's found us."

  The speedboat stopped, Zhang Shidong's hand grasped the edge and he flipped onto the boat. He looked at Tianluo, who was wearing a western-style suit and shirt, and ignored Pojun, who was standing at the front of the boat.

  "Yue Tianlu, from Yanjing." The elegant man stretched out his hand, and dared to use Yanjing as a suffix, which can be imagined how confident he was.

  "Zhang Shidong, can I say that I am from Pingjiang?" Zhang Shidong shook his body, wiping the seawater off his head and face.

  "Guess I made a fool of you, Yue Tianlu. Just an ordinary guy." The refined man didn't get angry and reintroduced himself.

  "Eh, you're talking about my taste, I'm also just muddling through life. First ask a question, do you know that guy in the sky?"

  "Understand."

  "Are you familiar with it?"

  "Not familiar."

  "Not familiar with each other yet, who dares to play with me? Must be prepared to get beaten up, the legs of these martial arts girls will be very tight!"
