Chapter 408: Holding Back the Troops
Chapter 408: Holding Back the Troops
Liu Xuan’s office location.
Yang Cheng dragged Wu Yong inside and threw him to the ground, speaking coldly, "Speak up."
"Speak about what?"
Wu Yong’s body trembled slightly, yet his mouth remained stubbornly shut.
"Who sent you to spy on the factory?"
Yang Cheng approached Wu Yong with a menacing look on his face.
"I don’t understand what you’re talking about; I was just a security guard at the factory for a few days."
Wu Yong hung his head low, not daring to meet Yang Cheng’s gaze.
Seeing Yang Cheng’s displeased face, Liu Xuan made a signal to his men, and a few strong men rushed up and pinned Wu Yong to the ground.
Yang Cheng casually picked up a dagger, sizing it up against his fingers, "I’ll ask you one last time, who sent you? If you don’t talk, I’ll chop off one of your hands, still won’t talk, and I’ll chop off the other, then..."
Wu Yong looked at the sharp blade hovering over his hand, his face going ashen with fear, he blurted out, "I’ll talk! I just know it was a woman, but I really don’t know who she is!"
"She wore a mask, covered herself up heavily so you couldn’t see her face, but she had a great figure, and she hired not just me, but others too, very generous. I just gave her a bit of information, and she gave me a hundred thousand."
Wu Yong spilled everything he knew like beans from a bamboo tube.
"What did you tell her?"
Yang Cheng asked.
"Just which room Miss Ye was staying in, and who she met and such."
Wu Yong’s teeth were chattering; he knew he had messed with someone he shouldn’t have, should have known you don’t earn a hundred thousand that easily.
"Oh right, that woman also wore a jade bracelet, that’s all I really know, please spare me, I still have parents to support, I can’t be without my hands!"
Yang Cheng contemplated momentarily and spoke, "How about this, you find a chance to lure her out for me, and we’ll call it even."
"She always came to find me, I have no way to contact her."
Wu Yong was on the verge of tears, his body trembled, and his pants became wet with foul-smelling urine.
"Brother Xuan, this guy wet himself."
Everyone tried to hold back their laughter; they hadn’t even done anything besides pinning him down, and Wu Yong was already scared to the point of wetting himself, truly lacking guts.
"Forget it, let him go, but don’t let him come back to Willowleaf Village."
Yang Cheng waved his hand in exasperation; this guy was just a little thug doing things for money, knowing nothing substantial.
However, this visit wasn’t entirely fruitless; they could confirm the opponent was a skilled woman with a good figure, wearing a jade bracelet.
That assassin Murong Hai hired indeed had some skills; even he hadn’t caught her. Once he catches that female assassin, he must teach her a lesson.
...
At this time in Zhonghai City.
Kong Jingshan sat on the sofa in thought, after receiving his daughter’s phone call yesterday, he knew she was implying something.
If that newly invested factory fell, his daughter and Yang Cheng wouldn’t have a chance to interact.
Contemplating, Kong Jingshan still dialed a number.
"General Manager Kong, what prompted you to call me, do you have any instructions?"
The man on the other side of the phone had a very flattering laughter.
"General Manager Gao, have you heard about the recent incident with Wenyu Cosmetics?"
Kong Jingshan’s tone was calm, yet carried the pressure of someone in power.
"I... I don’t know anything! What is Wenyu, that small company right?"
"I won’t beat around the bush with you; Wenyu Cosmetics is my daughter’s company. I do not want anyone to destroy the company, harming the interests of the Kong Family."
Kong Jingshan directly stated his stance, elevating it from a small company Kong Lingwen invested in to the entire Kong Family.
"General Manager Kong, those words..."
"Put away your little tricks in front of me; I don’t care what method you use, immediately clarify the rumors and exonerate Wenyu company, otherwise Yunmei will be considered an enemy of the Kong Family."
Kong Jingshan knew that arguing with such people was useless, direct intimidation was the most effective.
The man was silent for a while, his voice trembling as he said, "I... I understand."
Upon hearing confirmation, the call was promptly ended, and Kong Jingshan immediately called Kong Lingwen back.
At this time, Yang Cheng had entered the office of the new factory and upon seeing Kong Lingwen and Chu Xiaoyu leisurely drinking tea together, he knew that the situation was pretty much dealt with.
"Looks like your dad has already smoothed things over."
Yang Cheng sat down with Ye Ling’Er, smiling slightly.
"My dad just called me; he’s already warned General Manager Gao of Yunmei to immediately find a way to clarify the rumors."
Kong Lingwen took a sip of tea, her lips a vibrant red, looking moist and soft, making one want to kiss them.
"How will they clarify it?"
Yang Cheng asked.
"I guess by finding a small company about to go bankrupt to take the fall, claiming it was their personnel who tampered with your factory’s mask, and at that time providing some evidence, Yunmei will be able to withdraw unscathed."
Kong Lingwen said with some disdain; she knew this was Yunmei’s typical way of handling things.
"Isn’t that letting them off too easily?"
Yang Cheng was unconvinced by this outcome.
The disfigured girl almost jumped off a building, and if he hadn’t developed the Cooling Scar Cream in time, should there have been a fatality, things would have escalated.
They’re just finding someone to take the fall to try to sweep this under the rug, their thinking is too simple.
"Then, what do you want to do?"
Kong Lingwen looked at Yang Cheng with interest.
"You haven’t found that pharmaceutical company yet, have you?"
Yang Cheng suddenly changed the topic.
"I checked out a few, but I wasn’t satisfied; I think the pharmaceutical company should have a larger place to develop better in the future."
Kong Lingwen is also a person with great ambitions, not content with just opening a Yan’s Hall.
"Yunmei Company has a large place, and it’s in Zhonghai City, the economic center of the province; it’s a perfect location since you’ll eventually have to go back."
Yang Cheng smiled slightly at Kong Lingwen.
Kong Lingwen thought Yang Cheng would have some wicked trick against General Manager Gao, but she didn’t expect he would directly go for the jugular, wanting to swallow up their company.
"Yang Cheng, you are indeed very bold; our mask sales might be good, but ultimately, we are still a small company, how can we compete with Yunmei?"
Kong Lingwen wore an expression of shock, and beside her, Chu Xiaoyu almost choked on her tea.
"Xiaochen, your thinking is too simplistic; after all, Yunmei is a big company, and right now we don’t have that kind of capability."
"How will you know if you don’t try, with such an ethically lacking boss, the company will go bust sooner or later; we can add fuel to the fire."
Yang Cheng was very confident, a plan already forming in his mind.
"But recently, Miss Ye has been hunted down, I want to take her on a trip to hide for a while, as for what to do specifically, I’ll talk about it when I get back, for now, we’ll lie low."
He believed that General Manager Gao of Yunmei wouldn’t give up so easily and would definitely try to stir up more trouble; by then, they would catch him on something and defeat him in one fell swoop.
