"What happened?"

Gu Hai didn't have time to hear the last sentence and quickly looked towards the hall to ask.

"I don't know either, it sounds like they've started fighting."

Hearing the sounds of fighting coming from the direction of the hall, the confidant spoke to Gu Hai in a somewhat panicked manner.

"A fight broke out."

Upon hearing the word "fight," and recalling what the boss had just said, I realized...

The person who was to replace him among his subordinates was terrified.

"Boss, more than ten people with weapons broke in and rescued Zhang Tenglong and the guy who attacked you at the company last night."

One of his men, clutching his shoulder, ran up to Gu Hai and reported in a disheveled manner.

Gu Hai and his trusted subordinates were all in disbelief. This was Gu Hai's headquarters, and someone had actually managed to rescue someone from inside.

"What?! Why aren't you taking men and chasing after them? What are you still standing here for?!"

Seeing the disheveled state of his subordinate, the confidant angrily gave him a command.

"yes!"

Upon hearing his confidant's order, the younger brother quickly turned around and prepared to return to the main hall.

"Wait a moment."

Gu Hai called out to his subordinates who were about to leave.

"What's wrong, boss?"

The confidant looked at Gu Hai beside him with a puzzled expression and asked.

"Have everyone come back and stay here with me," Gu Hai ordered his men.

"I'll go right now."

Her subordinates rushed towards the hall, and she didn't really want to chase after them outside.

They were beaten black and blue on their own turf; what would happen if they chased after them?

We don't even know if there's an ambush. Even if there isn't, it would be terrible if someone called the police.

So the group of people who had been fighting with the other side in the hall pushed out the underling who was making the report.

Everyone knows the boss's temper; if he gets angry, he'll act recklessly, and you might even get a beating. Nobody wants to come over.

Those in the hall who were not injured helped their brothers to Gu Hai's side.

"Where are the others? Are you the only people in the company?"

Looking at the group with only a dozen or so trusted confidants, Gu Hai asked them in disbelief.

"Boss, apart from those sent out, we don't know where everyone else in the company has gone?"

One of his men limped out and said to Gu Hai.

"Hahaha, haaha."

After listening to his subordinates' words, Gu Hai looked at the ceiling with a tragic expression and began to laugh.

He coughed up blood halfway through his laughter and fell backward to the ground.

"Boss, are you alright?"

Don't scare us!

Seeing Gu Hai's frenzied behavior, the dozen or so henchmen exchanged glances and quickly surrounded him, asking him questions.

"What's wrong with Boss Gu?"

A voice came from behind the crowd.

The men surrounding Gu Haidi nervously turned around to look, clutching their batons tightly as they watched.

"Oh, it's Brother Liu."

"Brother Shang startled me."

When his men saw that it was Liu Shang, they lowered their guard, assuming that the men in black who had kidnapped people earlier had returned.

"Everyone be careful, this Liu Shang is with those people from before."

The confidant who had been following Gu Hai remembered what he had been investigating and shouted at his subordinates who were about to put away their weapons.

The subordinates, who were about to put away their weapons, heard the words of their boss's confidant.

He nervously picked up his weapon and watched Liu Shang approach step by step.

"Just you guys."

Looking at the dozen or so defeated soldiers blocking his way from Gu Hai, he clapped his hands with a smirk.

Da da da da—

A large group of people rushed in and stopped behind Liu Shang.

"Get out of my way!"

Gu Hai struggled to his feet and gave orders to the trusted confidant who was blocking his way.

When the confidants saw the forty or fifty men behind Liu Shang, fear began to flicker in their eyes. Hearing Gu Hai's order from behind, they quickly made way for each other.

"Liu Shang, it really is you. Cough cough cough."

After everyone had dispersed, Gu Hai looked at the familiar figure standing not far away, his eyes filled with shock.

"Hey, haven't you already seen it? Do you expect me to give you those eyes so you can see it clearly?"

Liu Shang straightened his suit and spoke to Gu Hai in a provocative tone.

"Liu Shang, you have no conscience at all. The boss has treated you pretty well, hasn't he?"

Another subordinate who had followed Gu Hai for a long time was also one of Gu Hai's confidants.

Looking at Liu Shang, who had betrayed Gu Hai, he felt a deep-seated contempt.

“Zhang Hao, shut your mouth, you sycophantic lackey. Don’t you know how Gu Hai treated me? What about our initial brotherhood? Ask the brothers who contributed so much to the company after that what they think.”

Upon hearing someone say that he was heartless, Liu Shang angrily pointed at Zhang Hao, who had spoken, and cursed him.

After saying that, he pointed to his brother who was following behind him.

"Dry!"

Liu Shuang raised his baseball bat first, echoing what Liu Shang had just said.

"Dry!"

The other brothers had long been fed up with Gu Hai, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to control the company so unitedly.

Gu Hai straightened his clothes, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and walked towards Liu Shang.

"Big brother."

The trusted confidants on either side saw Gu Hai walking forward and quickly spoke up to stop him.

Gu Hai didn't speak, but simply stretched out a hand to stop the crowd from continuing to obstruct him.

"Get them!"

As Liu Shuang watched Gu Hai approach step by step, he gripped his weapon even tighter and gave an order to his brothers behind him.

Looking at Gu Hai, Liu Shuang unconsciously swallowed, thinking that even if there were only people on their side, they didn't need to be afraid.

However, Gu Hai was also a former boss, and he carried an innate aura about him.

When Liu Shuang's brothers heard the order to deal with their former employer, they were still somewhat apprehensive.

But having received the orders, we had no choice but to bite the bullet and move forward.

"Step back."

Looking at the brothers who were protecting him, Liu Shang patted the brother standing in front of him and gave an order.

Even those who had gathered around didn't want to step forward, despite Gu Hai's ruthlessness towards them.

But they were people I had followed for a long time, and I couldn't bring myself to let them take up arms and fight.

Hearing Liu Shang tell them to retreat, they breathed a sigh of relief and all retreated back.

When did you start planning this?

Gu Hai walked up to Liu Shang and looked at the men following behind Liu Shang with curiosity, asking them a question.

“About a year ago, after you started your company and marginalized me, you began to ostracize us old brothers.”

Before the company was established, Gu Hai really took good care of his subordinates.

Since starting the company, he has become unpredictable.
