Chapter 153 Violence

"Oh?" Gu Ningwei whispered softly. In the shadows, the corners of his lips curved dangerously. "Uncle Yang, are you threatening me?"

His voice was gentle, but his eyes were as cold as a knife.

Yang Zhen had a gloomy face and said nothing, but his fingers holding the back of the chair turned white from the force.

He felt guilty about the young man in front of him. Legend has it that Gu Ningwei was just a playboy who did not participate in the company's affairs and was just idling around in Chengguang Group.

Because of this, He Guoliang agreed to He Lian's request.

Only by incorporating them into the He family and keeping them in sight can they be better managed and controlled.

But I never expected that things would become more and more out of control from the beginning.

And it's becoming increasingly uncontrollable.

He felt a sense of uneasiness and fear that he had never felt before.

The dim light shone directly on the person's face from above, half of it was in the dark and the other half was in the light. Gu Ningwei's smile was particularly sinister.

He suddenly leaned over and approached the old man, continuing, "Uncle Yang, you are so loyal to He Guoliang. You always clean up the mess for the He family. Do you think you can clean it up this time?"

As he spoke, he laughed again, his deep peach blossom eyes calm.

The light bulb crackled and sparks flew, and Yang Zhen's face turned as pale as paper.

"What did you just say..." After Gu Ningwei finished laughing, he suddenly pinched the old man's shoulder, his voice soft and creepy, "You mean I love smoking, and there's still unused gasoline in this abandoned factory? Is that what you said? So you mean to burn our Gu family to death and make it look like a perfect accidental fire accident?"

Yang Zhen snorted, "Master Gu is indeed smart, but smart people often don't live long."

The He family’s highest instruction is to do it at all costs, regardless of life or death.

"Really?" Gu Ningwei sneered.

Yang Zhen continued, "What a pity! Your beautiful girlfriend and your unborn child, hahahaha, do you want to know what will happen to them in the future?"

Gu Ningwei pursed his lips, and the lines of his jaw suddenly tightened.

Yang Zhen chuckled. "Master Gu probably doesn't know this yet. According to the rules of our He family, we never leave hidden dangers for ourselves. We prefer to eliminate the roots. I heard that your girlfriend is very beautiful."

He paused, raised his chin, and pointed at the man standing next to him, "They also like beautiful women."

After saying that, he burst into laughter.

Gu Ningwei narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze like a poisoned knife.

Gu Ningwei looked up at the burly thugs around him. They were all hidden in the darkness and their facial expressions could not be seen clearly. Without Yang Zhen's order, no one dared to take action. They were just like wooden sculptures or clay figurines.

"Hey, why bother, don't you think? If you had agreed to marry He Lian and worked together, wouldn't all these problems have been avoided? Well, it's too late to regret it now."

"Oh, I see." Gu Ningwei nodded and continued with a faint smile, "The He family owns this factory, right? Then how will your He family explain to the public why we, the Gu brothers and sisters, came to this abandoned factory in the middle of the night? Did we just suddenly decide to play real-life Counter-Strike?"

"Don't worry about that, Mr. Gu. Since we've done it, we'll have a way to deal with it."

"What else can we do? The only thing we can do is find them to take the blame." Gu Ningwei pointed at those "dummies".

"They said they kidnapped my brother and me for money, and when they couldn't get the money, they tore us hostage. Is that right?"

He turned to look at those people: "Are you willing too?"

The "dummy" didn't dare to speak, only Gu Ningli struggled and made a whimpering sound.

Yang Zhen sighed, "Master Gu, no one wants to get to this point, but you are unwilling to hand over the information in Jiang Jin's hands, and you know so much, which endangers everyone's safety. If you don't do this, what should we do?"

Gu Ningwei curled his lips and sneered, "What should we do? When He Guoliang laundered the first batch of money, didn't he think about what to do next? When he and Gu Zhiguang colluded and reached a consensus to transfer funds together, didn't they think about what to do next?"

Yang Zhen sighed again, "Master Gu, do you really not know where the information is?"

"I know, how could I not know?" Gu Ningwei smiled and spoke in a soft voice.

"Where is it?" Yang Zhen asked again.

"In Jiang Jin's hands, where else could it be?" Gu Ningwei squinted at him, as if looking at a fool with insufficient intelligence. "You can't even figure this out? No wonder He Guoliang only made you a servant, making you do those shameful and dirty things. Those things that can be put on the table, famous and profitable, have never been your turn."

“…”

Yang Zhen was stunned, and a crack finally appeared on his tense face, with a feeling of annoyance as if he was being teased.

This is his concern.

Because he had no academic qualifications, no matter how loyal he was to He Guoliang, he had to hide in the dark like a mouse, secretly watching how the so-called senior talents and elite white-collar workers in the group bossed him around and acted arrogantly.

He Guoliang knew his thoughts well and once comforted him: "Old Yang, I know you are the most loyal to me, and I trust you the most. Don't be fooled by their PhDs or overseas returnees. They are all superficial decorations. In my heart, they are not even worthy of carrying your shoes."

But Yang Zhen knew that these executives who were "not even worthy of carrying his shoes" all earned higher annual salaries than him, held company options, and some even had stocks given by He Guoliang.

They openly shared the interests of the He family and enjoyed great prosperity.

But he could only watch helplessly.

Yang Zhen thought that he was already so old, but he was still living on the edge of a knife and could be used to take the blame at any time.

He Guoliang once said to him in a heartfelt sigh, "Old Yang, wasn't there a movie that said some people live for appearances, while others live for substance? The He family has appearances, but they also have substance. You, Old Yang, are the He family's substance."

Now, as the pillar of the He family, he has to protect that idiot He Yongqiang from the wind and rain.

But this is his own business and no one can say it to his face.

"Don't say such useless things." Yang Zhen was furious. "Master Gu, don't think we can't find Jiang Jin's whereabouts. He just ran away. Even if he ran to the ends of the earth, our He family would dig deep to find him. I don't believe he could get far in just one day."

Gu Ningwei smiled and nodded: "Then you can try it."

"In that case, I'm sorry, Master Gu and Miss Gu." After Yang Zhen finished speaking, he winked at the people around him.

"You all can do whatever you want." He said and retreated to the corner.

The "dummies" finally received the order and swarmed forward, trying to grab Gu Ningwei's body.

Gu Ningwei knocked the person who rushed in front of him to the ground with one punch, and his nose was bleeding.

Another one stepped forward and was kicked down by Gu Ningwei again.

But he was outnumbered, and several burly men came forward and captured him together.

Gu Ningwei was held down by several men and quickly tied to a chair with ropes.

Gu Ningli struggled hard and tried to pounce on him. She kicked with her feet, bumped with her body, and made a whimpering sound with her mouth.

The man she had bitten finally couldn't hold back any longer. He raised his hand and slapped her in the face, cursing viciously, "Damn it, if you dare to move again, I'll strip you naked and fuck you to death..."

Gu Ningli was beaten so hard that she saw stars and her lips were bleeding.

The others laughed and swore foul language.

"Damn, how about we get a taste of this capitalist lady too."

"It's about to get burnt, why not give us some meat now..."

"Yeah, it's an extra reward..."

“…”

Someone was about to step forward and tear off Gu Ningli's clothes as he spoke.

Gu Ningli was so scared that she wanted to scream, but her mouth was sealed and she couldn't make any sound. She dodged left and right and stretched out her feet to kick, but someone grabbed her ankle and dragged her off the sofa to the ground.

A man rode on her, tore off her shirt, lifted up her bra, and rubbed her snow-white breasts with his hands.

"Hey, damn, it's quite big after being pinched by a man..."

A man had started pulling at her jeans.

The man next to him had already started unbuckling his belt and hissed, "Damn it, my dick is so hard, I'll go first..."

Gu Ningwei's face turned pale with anger. He shoved a chair over and kicked the man lying on top of Gu Ningli away. He cursed, "Fuck you! If you dare to touch her, I'll make sure you die without a burial place."

Gu Ningwei's hands were tied, but his arms were still strong. He used his elbows to hit the man.

Jian's experience in fighting since childhood and his daily training made his movements swift and precise, and he knocked a man to the ground.

A man tried to hug Gu Ningwei from behind, but was suddenly hit in the abdomen by his elbow, and he bent over in pain.

Gu Ningwei took the opportunity to break free, turned around and kicked the other man in the knee, knocking him to the ground.

He again struck a man in the jaw with his arm, knocking him to the ground.

Gu Ningli was pressed to the ground again. She struggled desperately, but the strength gap was too great. A man rode on her and began to tear her clothes.

"You bunch of beasts, if you dare to touch her, I will kill you." Gu Ningwei's voice was like a growl from hell, and every word he uttered was filled with murderous intent with gritted teeth.

Gu Ningwei's forehead was covered in blood. He simply rolled to the ground and used his body to protect Gu Ningli.

Yang Zhen watched with his hands in his hands, his expression cold and indifferent.

The phone rang sharply. Yang Zhen picked up the call and heard He Guoliang asking, "How is it? Is it resolved?"

Yang Zhen took a deep breath and said, "It's being solved."

He Guoliang said again, "Hurry up." He heard the sounds of fighting and cursing again. "What are you doing?"

Yang Zhen looked at the people fighting over there and said, "Brothers, are..."

"Don't let them mess around. Get this done right now," He Guoliang ordered sternly. "I just got word that the Gu family has contacted the secretary-general, and the police are already involved."

He hung up the phone after he said that.

Yang Zhen held the phone in his hand for a moment, feeling inexplicably anxious and sweat running down his back. He suddenly shouted at his men, "Stop!"

When they heard the order, they all stopped their actions. Gu Ningli took the opportunity to kick the man who had just pulled her pants in the crotch.

The man covered his lower body with his hands and squatted down with a cry of "Ah Wu".

"Stop making trouble. Finish the job and retreat quickly." Yang Zhen gave the order.

The gasoline barrel in the corner was overturned and muddy liquid flowed out of the barrel, gurgling from the base of the wall toward the center of the room...

Gu Ningwei's lighter that was dropped on the ground was picked up by someone.

Yang Zhen walked to the door, turned around and stopped to take another look, then walked down the stairs without looking back.

The others followed him to the stairs.

The last person walking in lit a lighter and threw it into the room.

Gu Ningli whimpered in fear.

Gu Ningwei struggled hard to free his bound body.
