Manager Chen is not afraid of Lu Zheng at this moment.

He felt that he was now the one holding Lu Zheng and his group's lifeline in his hands, rather than the one being held in his hands.

Lu Zheng's words now felt much less threatening to him.

"However, let me remind you, our bank is not backing down today, so what can you do about it?"

Just kidding, are you trying to scare him here?

Is he, as a manager, so timid?

He refused to believe that any businessman could be more powerful than a bank. With just a word, he could freeze their bank assets, find a scapegoat to take the blame, and Lu Zheng and his group would definitely be the ones to suffer.

I don't believe they'll still be so arrogant once their company is brought down.

Manager Chen leaned forward and said, "Mr. Lu, you have to understand that sometimes being too tough is not as good as being a little softer. You have to know when to be pragmatic."

He was reminding Lu Zheng about Ming Xiang.

Lu Zheng smiled slightly: "Oh."

While they were talking, Lu Zheng took out a phone number from his pocket and handed it to Manager Chen.

Upon seeing the phone number, Manager Chen asked suspiciously, "What is this?"

Lu Zheng said, "You don't know? Fine, I'll tell you, it's Zhou Heng's."

“Zhou… I don’t know any Zhou Heng, Mr. Lu. The reason I’m terminating our cooperation with you is because we suspect your company of many illegal activities. For security reasons, we’ve stopped our cooperation.”

"As for whose number this is, I've met so many people, how would I know if I've met him or not?"

Manager Chen thought to himself, if he doesn't admit it, what can anyone do to him?

However, he genuinely didn't know this number. Zhou Heng, that old fox, never liked to leave any leverage for others. It was true that he called Manager Chen to ask for cooperation from Jiang Li'er and the others, but he used an obsolete street phone that he had found in some unknown corner.

I used the phone in the phone booth to call him and asked him to do something for me.

Although Manager Chen felt aggrieved at the time, knowing that he had been used and that he and Jiang Lier would have to take responsibility if something went wrong, Zhou Heng gave him 100,000 yuan in cash through a special channel.

Because it's in cash and nobody knows about it, he can spend the money slowly as long as he doesn't shop online or flaunt it.

So he endured it.

Lu Zheng chuckled and said, "I know you don't know this phone number. I'm just reminding you that we found the phone booth on the street. As for you, you can delete the phone number from your phone, or even destroy the phone and SIM card."

"However, given your authority, I doubt you could go to the carrier and delete all your call log backups, right?"

"you……"

Lu Zheng's words made Manager Chen's heart beat faster.

How is that possible?

It had only been an afternoon, and according to the message sent back by the people he had secretly sent to monitor Lu Zheng, Lu Zheng was taking a normal nap at noon.

He didn't make any other arrangements.

When Manager Chen received this news, he ridiculed Lu Zheng, thinking that Lu Zheng was hopelessly stupid and an idiot, who had the leisure to sleep here in the face of such a crisis.

He was now thoroughly frightened.

He stared intently at Lu Zheng and said, "Impossible, you... how do you know so much?"

Lu Zheng said with a smile, "Hehe, what's this? Isn't this normal? I have hacker friends, and I also know that it was Jiang Lier who contacted you. Oh, right, I have something else to show you."

Lu Zheng took out his phone and put it on the table: "Open the photo album yourself and take a look. As for the phone, you don't need to get angry and smash it. If you smash it, you'll have to pay me back. Besides, there's no SIM card or any information on it. It's a brand new phone that I just bought."

"Uh...uh..."

Manager Chen was still quite arrogant back then, but after Lu Zheng's actions, he was completely dumbfounded.

He picked up his phone and frantically opened the photo album to look at the pictures.

The video inside shows what happened after he met Jiang Lier.

Jiang Li'er went on and on about how powerful the Jiang family was, and how Lu Zheng's business was only temporary and was bound to collapse.

Under normal circumstances, Jiang Lier's boasting would never have made Manager Chen deal with Lu Zheng according to her wishes.

Based on just a few words, she thinks she can make the bank give up doing business with Lu Zheng? Is she kidding me?

It was entirely because Manager Chen had received the benefits in advance, and also because he agreed to do those things in order to please Zhou Heng.

Jiang Li'er was very happy to see Manager Chen agree so quickly, and felt very proud of herself.

Lu Zheng's feelings of inferiority to her became stronger once again.

After she left, Manager Chen sneered and mocked her, saying that Jiang Li'er was a real character.

All of these things were recorded and placed right in front of Manager Chen.

Looking at all this, Manager Chen's breathing became rapid: "You... what exactly do you want?"

Lu Zheng chuckled and said, "I don't want anything in particular. We'll just continue to cooperate as we did before. You should know how influential this will be if it's posted online."

"you……"

Manager Chen wanted to berate Lu Zheng and even smash the phone in front of him, but he was still somewhat rational at this point, knowing that since Lu Zheng had taken the phone, he must have a backup.

Just as Lu Zheng said, smashing the phone would not only not quell his anger, but he would also have to compensate Lu Zheng for the loss, which was simply not worth it.

After taking two heavy breaths, he asked, "If I restore these things, Zhou Heng might retaliate against me, you know that?"

Ming Xiang scoffed at this: "What? You...afraid of retaliation?"

"I...no, since I've already done it, of course I'm scared. I'm begging you, please? Find another bank to take out a loan and spare my life."

Lu Zheng shook his head: "This is a loss for us. Besides, how dare you say that? I really have never seen anyone as shameless as you. Forget it, I won't waste my breath on you. Just do as I say, understand? Otherwise, you can wait to go to jail."

Just moments ago Manager Chen was arrogant, but now he was terrified, panting heavily as he said, "Lu Zheng, I beg you!"

Thump!

He bent his knees and knelt down before Lu Zheng: "Really, I'm begging you."

Lu Zheng shook his head: "Sigh... You're begging me, but I'll lose billions, and my company affects the livelihoods of so many people. If you don't care about their lives, why should I care about yours?"

“I’m giving you a choice: either go to jail or fix things for us. It’s up to you, okay? I hope to see results this afternoon, and by 8 p.m., these things will be publicly available online.”
