Chapter 493 Bluffing
"Just talking about business?" Li Ruiyi looked at Tang Shuo and said.
Although he was asking Tang Shuo, his constantly flickering eyes had already revealed his true thoughts on his face.
Even though Tang Shuo hadn't shown any intention of doing anything to him from the beginning, Li Ruiyi still couldn't feel at ease. He simply couldn't believe that Tang Shuo would let him go so easily.
Tang Shuo nodded and said, "I heard that you've invested a lot more money in Jinxiu Real Estate recently, and you've even gotten involved with Huangfu Yuanzhou and the others again."
“…”
Li Ruiyi did not answer Tang Shuo's question. Before he knew exactly what Tang Shuo was planning, he did not intend to make any statement.
"Stop by the roadside," Tang Shuo said to the man in black who was driving. He then turned and continued, "If you want to minimize your losses, get out of this as soon as possible."
"What do you mean?" Li Ruiyi asked puzzledly.
"It's a warning." Tang Shuo replied.
As they were talking, the car had already stopped by the roadside.
"Don't think I'm joking. I've already given you the chance. It depends on whether you can seize it." Tang Shuo opened the car door and turned around to say, "Your driver is in the trunk. Ask him to take you home."
Li Ruiyi watched the backs of Tang Shuo and the black-clad man driving the car disappear into the darkness. After being stunned for nearly half an hour, he finally woke up from his dream, moved to the driver's seat, and started the car directly.
Tang Shuo's presence was clearly more important than the driver in the trunk. Li Ruiyi instantly prioritized the priorities. The high-performance Lexus roared like a wild horse, roaring towards Yanming Villa.
…
Yanming Villa.
"Are you telling the truth?"
After Huangfu Yuanzhou heard Li Ruiyi's account of what happened that night, he immediately asked, "Why haven't we found any news about him?"
It wasn't that he didn't believe Li Ruiyi's words, it was just too important. Li Ruiyi would never joke about it, but he just couldn't accept it psychologically.
After all, a person who has been confirmed dead suddenly comes back to life, which seems a bit weird no matter how you look at it.
As early as Tang Shuo's death, they sent people to keep an eye on his family. More than a month passed, and these people found no clues. Unexpectedly, just two days after the withdrawal of the personnel, Tang Shuo actually appeared.
"I guess he not only kept it a secret from us, but also from his family members." Li Ruiyi replied.
After thinking for a while, he still felt that he should tell Huangfu Yuanzhou and the others the news first, and even if he wanted to hide this matter, he would never succeed.
No matter what, the initiative is now in his hands. If everyone decides not to take risks for the time being after discussing it, Li Ruiyi can still withdraw the invested funds quickly, which is no different from what Tang Shuo said.
"What a cunning man." Huangfu Yuanzhou sighed solemnly, then asked, "What do you think was his purpose in notifying you?"
"I was thinking about this on the way here."
Li Ruiyi pondered for a moment and replied, "According to my judgment, he must have come to see me because of my sister Li Yihe, or..."
"Or what?" Huangfu Yuanzhou asked.
"He's bluffing." Li Ruiyi said uncertainly.
Ding Dong...
Huangfu Yuanzhou was about to ask another question when the doorbell suddenly rang.
"Wenchang should be here." Huangfu Yuanzhou said, "This matter needs to be discussed carefully."
Soon, a bodyguard came in with a man.
However, contrary to Huangfu Yuanzhou's expectations, the person who came in was not Song Wenchang, but Tan Zhuojun, who was relatively far away from here.
"What exactly happened?" Tan Zhuojun asked in a panic, "Tang Shuo is not dead?"
He had already fallen asleep when he received Li Ruiyi's call.
But when Li Ruiyi finished speaking, he immediately came to his senses, put on some clothes casually, and rushed here directly, running through countless red lights along the way.
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Huangfu Yuanzhou pointed at the sofa and said, "The sky hasn't fallen yet!"
Tan Zhuojun sat down on the sofa and asked impatiently, "What's going on?"
Li Ruiyi was just about to explain it when the doorbell rang again.
"The person coming this time should be Wenchang. Let's talk to him when he comes in." Li Ruiyi said solemnly.
Song Wenchang was calmer than everyone expected. After entering, he first told the bodyguard to get two bottles of water. Then he walked to the sofa and sat down before asking, "Rui Yi. How did you meet him last night?"
Li Ruiyi described in full the encounter between him and Tang Shuo, but he did not mention his trip to Golden Lion, and just made up a place for the background of the incident.
"Yuan Zhou and I have already discussed this." Li Ruiyi said, "This may just be Tang Shuo's bluffing."
Song Wenchang was silent for a moment, then nodded and analyzed, "The Lawrence and Burberry families' attacks on Tang Yun couldn't have been fake, and the Jiang family's financial problems couldn't have been deliberately fabricated. So, whether Tang Shuo is dead or alive, it won't have a big impact on the situation. As long as we take precautions now, there won't be any problems."
On the surface, Song Wenchang's analysis makes sense.
After years of fighting with the Jiang family, they knew each other's situation very well. No one would believe that the other party had no problems with its funds.
But there is one thing Song Wenchang did not mention, that is, whether the Mingzhu Wang family, the Suzhou and Hangzhou Shen family and the Su family, who have always had a good relationship with Tang Shuo, will intervene.
Even though the other party hadn't launched any counterattack that could affect the situation, it had already caused internal unrest. Song Wenchang could only try his best to avoid the main issue and calm everyone down first.
Huangfu Yuanzhou and others nodded. It was impossible to falsify the GG expenses of Tang Yun Company.
So when it comes to funding, they still have the upper hand.
"Let's do what we agreed to do. I'll go to the British Royal Navy as soon as possible to contact Burberry and the Lawrence family. You guys spend the next two days observing the Jiang family's situation and wait for an opportunity to take action." Song Wenchang smiled confidently and continued, "Isn't Tang Shuo's appearance because we've forced him to hide? So we can't afford to lose our composure now."
Perhaps Song Wenchang's words worked, and everyone relaxed a little, no longer feeling as uneasy as when they first heard the news.
In fact, with the strength of Huangfu Yuanzhou and the other two, it might be difficult for them to compete head-on with the Jiang family, but it is almost impossible for them to be defeated directly, especially since they have help from outsiders. Everyone is just overreacting.
"Should we slow down the blockade of Shengtang Real Estate and then mobilize the funds first?" Li Ruiyi suddenly put forward his own suggestion.
Song Wenchang glanced at Li Ruiyi thoughtfully, then slowly shook his head and said, "Let's maintain the status quo over there for the time being. We already have enough funds available, and it's relatively easy to withdraw that money, so there's no need to rush."
Li Ruiyi nodded, agreeing with the other party's point of view.
"Then what should I do?" Tan Zhuojun asked.
He was different from Huangfu Yuanzhou and the others. Firstly, he had no business grudges against Tang Shuo; his trouble with Tang Shuo was simply due to his previous promotion. Secondly, his position was somewhat unique, and he couldn't hinder Tang Shuo in this regard.
"Didn't you say that Yu Guangji had contact with you?" Huangfu Yuanzhou said with a smile, "Now is the time to use this chess piece. It wouldn't be a bad idea to distract Tang Shuo."
"That's right."
Song Wenchang agreed, "This might take up Tang Shuo's energy. By the time he's finished dealing with this mess, the dust will have settled."
Everyone continued to discuss the matter for a while and assigned some of the things that needed to be clarified.
Tan Zhuojun was the first to suggest leaving, and Li Ruiyi followed suit, saying he also had things to do. When everyone looked at Song Wenchang, Song Wenchang shook his head calmly and said, "It's too late. I'll stay here tonight."
After Tan Zhuojun and the other man left, Huangfu Yuanzhou asked doubtfully, "Do you have any other questions?"
Although Yanming Villa belongs to Song Wenchang, he rarely spends the night here. When the other party just said that he did not plan to leave, Huangfu Yuanzhou knew that he had something else to explain.
"I'm going to the British Empire soon. Please pay more attention to Li Ruiyi." Song Wenchang gave his opinion.
"Li Ruiyi?"
"Yes." Song Wenchang nodded and said, "I feel like this guy wants to do something bad behind my back."
Although Huangfu Yuanzhou couldn't quite understand Song Wenchang's opinion, he didn't raise any objections. He nodded and agreed, "I'll be more careful."
…
Royal London Hospital.
Jiang Tiantong was lying on the hospital bed, frowning solemnly, not knowing what he was thinking about.
In the previous attack, she was pushed away by Du Bing, and the bullet didn't hit her, but grazed Du Bing. However, her elbow hit the corner of the wall, and her physical strength had declined due to the busy days.
At Li Yihe's insistence, she was admitted to the hospital.
Click, the door of the ward was pushed open.
Du Bing walked in and said, "Miss, the monkey still refuses to rest."
Jiang Tiantong turned around, looked at Du Bing and said, "Call him in."
Monkey was the one who reacted the fastest during the attack. Although he subdued the attacker immediately after the gunshot and didn't give him a second chance to shoot, he still felt guilty about it.
"I told him, but he didn't agree." Du Bing said helplessly.
Jiang Tiantong nodded, and then said to Du Bing: "You should go and have a rest too."
"I'm fine." Du Bing looked at his bandaged shoulder and said with a smile, "As long as I don't move my arm, I'll be fine."
Jiang Tiantong knew that the other party was just being stubborn, but she didn't insist on her opinion. The current situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable for the Jiang family. She really needed Du Bing's help. If she replaced him temporarily, it would only cause more trouble.
"Have you got the report from Tiannao?" Jiang Tiantong asked.
"Someone has delivered it. It will arrive in about twenty minutes." Du Bing replied.
Snap...
The door of the ward was pushed open again. Li Yihe, carrying a thermos lunch box, frowned as he entered. He said to Jiang Tiantong, "Didn't I tell you to rest more? Why are you working again?"
When facing the gunman, Jiang Tiantong did not dodge but pushed her away first, and she successfully avoided it with the help of Du Bing.
Although Li Yihe never mentioned this incident afterwards, the feeling of being touched in her heart did not diminish at all.
Jiang Tiantong nodded to Du Bing and said, "Take a rest first, and give it to me when the information arrives."
"Okay." Du Bing agreed, turned around and walked out of the ward.
Li Yihe said to Jiang Tiantong with an unhappy look on his face: "Why are you working so hard? Don't you know that you are a patient now?"
"I'm used to it." Jiang Tiantong replied.
"When that guy comes back, I'll help you get justice." Li Yihe snorted and unscrewed the lid of the lunch box. "He hid himself and let you suffer for him."
Tang Shuo, who had just stepped into the hospital, felt a chill on his back without any warning, and his heart began to feel uneasy.
