"snort!"

Gu Hai stared coldly at Zhang Tenglong, as if he were a corpse.

Two of his men immediately grabbed Zhang Tenglong, covered his mouth with a strip of cloth, and pressed him onto a stool.

His men brought over a water vat from the corner, just as they were about to torture him, when they were interrupted by a voice.

Everyone present, having witnessed this scene, knew exactly what to do next.

He couldn't help but feel sorry for Zhang Tenglong for three seconds, and also began to fear Gu Hai's ruthless methods.

"Wait a minute, what are you doing?"

Gu Hai walked up to Zhang Tenglong, looking at Zhang Tenglong who was tied to the stool with a mocking look in his eyes, and said.

Zhang Tenglong, lying on the chair, was terrified by such methods. He had always been a boss and had never been subjected to such torture before. He often saw it on television.

He thought he was doomed, but when he looked at Gu Hai who suddenly called a halt, his eyes were filled with gratitude.

When the others saw Gu Hai call a halt, they still felt that Gu Hai wasn't the kind of cruel person.

"Boss!"

Seeing their leader approach, everyone stopped and stood to the side, saying something.

“I remember you’re from Shanxi, Boss Zhang. People from Shanxi love vinegar. Take this water vat away and bring up my box of aged vinegar.”

Gu Hai scratched his head and thought for a moment, then came up with an even more exciting idea.

He crouched down, looked into Zhang Tenglong's eyes, and said each word clearly.

At first, Zhang Tenglong didn't think much of the first half, but when he heard the second half, his eyes filled with fear, and everyone else could imagine the scene...

A large bottle of vinegar was poured on their faces, making it hard to breathe, and many people began to secretly swallow their saliva.

The men immediately understood what to do and ran out.

After a while, two people came in, each carrying a box of aged vinegar, and placed them next to the stools, starting to tear open the packaging.

"Mmm..."

Seeing that they were going to do it for real, Zhang Tenglong struggled back and forth, trying to break free of the ropes, while muttering incoherently.

Do you want to talk?

Seeing Zhang Tenglong's pleading expression, Gu Hai asked with concern.

"Um!"

Zhang Tenglong was already terrified, so what was there left for him to hide? Hearing Gu Hai's words, he quickly nodded.

He bumped the back of his head against the stool.

"It's too late to say that now. Let's get started."

Gu Hai shook his head as he looked at Zhang Tenglong, who seemed to be begging for mercy, and gave orders to his men.

One of his men covered Zhang Tenglong's nostrils with a strip of cloth, while another man held a large bottle of coarse liquor over them.

After pouring the vinegar, have Zhang Tenglong change it for a few seconds, then pour another bottle of vinegar, and repeat the process.

Seeing Zhang Tenglong's pained expression, everyone turned their heads away and refused to watch any longer.

“This Zhang Tenglong actually attacked me. This is his punishment. None of you are disobeying me, are you?”

Gu Hai held up Zhang Tenglong's warning to the people in the hall, scanning their facial expressions back and forth.

"We will follow Boss Gu's lead without question!"

No one had any objections, and they all lowered their heads and shouted.

Liu Shang and Liu Shuang hadn't expected Gu Hai to be so ruthless; thankfully, it wasn't them.

"You guys should leave now. Don't let me find out you're up to any tricks, or you'll end up like him!"

Seeing that everyone was gathered here, Gu Hai waved his hand and told them to go back.

He gave them a warning before leaving.

"If Boss Gu needs anything, just call us old guys, and we'll do everything we can to help."

“That’s right, as long as you, Boss Gu, say the word.”

The group of old guys had lost their initial arrogance when they first came in; they had initially treated Gu Hai like a little brat.

I never expected Zhang Tenglong to be such a big shot. Seeing how badly he was tortured, who knows who among them might be next.

He thought to himself: You can only befriend people like this, not make enemies with them, otherwise Zhang Tenglong will be a cautionary tale.

"As long as the boss gives the order, we underlings will be there for you without hesitation."

"That's right!"

Gu Hai promoted all of these mid-level key personnel one by one.

Gu Hai was quite satisfied with what he saw, after all, these people still had to rely on him.

However, to Gu Hai's surprise, these people he had personally promoted had already been almost completely infiltrated by the three Liu brothers.

These middle-level managers were all outwardly submissive, but inwardly they were seething with hatred for Gu Hai, a scoundrel who treated his subordinates like dirt. However, they dared not show it and could only put on a show.

"Go down."

Gu Hai enjoyed this feeling; now no one could stand against him.

Now the entire underworld is practically a one-man show, let's see who dares to rebel, or even thinks of rebelling!

Her eyes involuntarily drifted towards Zhang Tenglong.

Everyone left the lobby and walked out of the office building.

The tycoon finally breathed a sigh of relief as he walked out of the office building, quickly got into his car and left, not wanting to stay there a moment longer.

Many of the key middle-level managers who needed to stay with the company left.

"Big brother, it's me."

Liu Shuang walked up to Liu Shang and was about to speak when she saw Liu Shang cover his forehead with his hand.

Liu Shuang immediately understood and quickly shut her mouth, not daring to say anything more.

His eyes began to look around.

The two got into the car without saying a word, and Liu Shang drove directly to the ancestral home.

"Brother, why did you bring me to this residence?"

Liu Shuang got out of the car and looked at their house with a puzzled expression, asking Liu Shang a question.

Let's go.

Liu Shang didn't say much, and pulled Liu Shuang into the house.

"Big brother, third brother, you're all back!"

"Second brother, what are you doing here? What happened to eldest brother?"

Liu Shuang looked at Liu Gong in the room, then turned to Liu Shang and asked, "What else is wrong? What exactly happened last night?" Seeing Liu Shuang's expression, Liu Shang sat on the sofa and asked.

"Yes! What exactly happened to Third Brother last night?"

Engineer Liu also wanted to know, so he looked at Liu Shuang and asked.

"You mean last night? Hey. The plan failed, not that it succeeded," Liu Shuang said, sitting down as well.

"What do you mean by 'one minute it fails, the next it succeeds'!"

Seeing Liu Shuang going back and forth, Liu Shang asked anxiously.

"That's because our inside man didn't complete his mission, but, for some reason, it just so happened yesterday that Zhang Tenglong's men were also arrested."

Liu Shuang told the two of them what had happened the night before.

"Zhang Tenglong? What did he send his men to do?"

Engineer Liu didn't go in the morning and didn't know what had happened. Hearing Zhang Tenglong's name, he was surprised and asked.

"Second brother, wait a moment. Let me finish telling you what happened after last night, and then we'll get to him."

Liu Shuang knew that her second brother had some connection with Zhang Tenglong.

He pulled his second brother to his side and sat him on the sofa, saying...
