Chapter 310 Someone must pay for their blood debt.
"What did you say? That girl from the Shen family provoked you?!"
Gao Shan had a son late in life and doted on him immensely. However, he was still quite clear-headed. He knew that if his good-for-nothing son hadn't been the heir of the Donglian Alliance, no normal woman would have ever been interested in him. So he couldn't help but mock him, "You think you're so great now? You dare to brag in front of your father and lie without batting an eye. Do you think I wouldn't dare to beat you to death?!"
"Dad! It's true!"
Gao Shengtian was afraid of nothing but his own father, and fearing another beating, he gripped his cane tightly with both hands. "That night... I was having a good time with some buddies at Nightclub when that woman named Shen Yunlang suddenly approached me and wanted to... make a deal with me."
Seeing that things weren't so simple, Gao Shan urged sharply, "What deal? Speak up!"
“She said she knew who I was and that I was enemies with her brother Shen Zhantang… She wanted to give me… a chance to get revenge on Shen Zhantang.”
Gao Sheng swallowed nervously. "That girl said that Shen Zhantang has a fatal weakness, which is the little female bodyguard he has been raising for many years... As long as we can cripple that woman, we can get revenge on Shen Zhantang!"
So that night, I played along with her and put on a show... to lure Shen Zhantang over to rescue that girl, and then provoke him into taking that bodyguard hostage to exchange for his own sister..."
Gao Shan knew his son too well, and sneered, "Just like that, you're going to obediently cooperate with that brat? She must have promised you some benefits, right?"
Gao Sheng didn't dare to look up. "She also... promised me 30 million after it was done, to help me pay off the gambling debts at the Macau casino..."
Takasugi rubbed his forehead, feeling utterly bewildered.
Their Donglian's black market operations in China have all been shut down by the police. Fortunately, they can still maintain some operations overseas. Otherwise, Donglian would have disintegrated long ago, and his position as the boss would be in jeopardy. When the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact.
But his incompetent son couldn't break his addiction to gambling, drugs, and prostitution, and squandered money recklessly. He was completely unaware of the 30 million gambling debt!
"No, but Dad, that girl really does keep her word. She transferred 30 million to me the day before yesterday!"
"There's no such thing as a free lunch. If something does fall from the sky, it's definitely a trap!"
Gao Shan's eyes were gloomy as he paced back and forth. "Is Shen Zhantang's fatal weakness his female bodyguard?"
Gao Sheng nodded frantically.
"Since he cherishes that woman so much, why didn't he pamper her at home? The situation was so dangerous that day, why did Shen Zhantang bring her with him? And why did he push her out to exchange for the girl in your hands?"
Takasugi became increasingly astonished as he listened. "This is called a weakness? This is more like a chicken rib!"
"She's probably just a lover I like, far from being indispensable to me. Otherwise, why would I let her get involved in such a dangerous situation?"
Gao Sheng sniffed, clearly experiencing a bit of drug withdrawal again. "In that case, I have even less to fear! This time, I not only got revenge on Shen Zhantang, but also settled my gambling debts. Even if Shen Zhantang has a bit of a crush on that bodyguard, he'll forget about it once the bad feeling passes. We're all men, who doesn't know who?"
Besides, I didn't kill her..."
"Fool! What great advantage do you think you've gained? That venomous brat is using you as a pawn, letting you get rid of this thorn in her side!"
Gao Shan paused, his expression softening slightly. "Never mind! There's been no movement from the Shen family for so many days. It seems Shen Zhantang really doesn't take that woman seriously."
But you remember this, kid, this is the last time. From now on, you're not allowed to cause any more trouble for Shen Zhantang! Right now, Donglian is under close police surveillance, and we've had several clubs and casinos raided. We're recovering, and if you cause trouble at this critical juncture, you'll only make things worse for Donglian!"
Gao Sheng was resentful, but he could only obediently nod.
Just then, the secretary rushed in, her face contorted in a panic:
"Mr. Gao, we have a guest!"
Without hesitation, Takasugi said, "I'm not in the mood to see guests today. Tell him to leave!"
The secretary was drenched in sweat. "This...this guest...you can't refuse to see him! He's Shen Zhantang, President Shen of the Shen Group!"
The Gao father and son were shocked. "What?!"
It should be noted that even during the two years when Shen Zhantang was fighting the Donglian the most fiercely, Shen Zhantang never once took the initiative to come to their door to negotiate!
After all, the Shen family is a legitimate business, while they are a complete criminal organization. Shen Zhantang looks down on them and would never lower himself to confront them.
Takasugi's expression was complicated and tense.
"Damn it, that guy surnamed Shen actually delivered himself to my door. I've been holding back my anger for ages and have nowhere to vent it!" Gao Sheng was eager to go and meet Shen Zhantang, but his father stopped him.
"You better behave yourself! You're not going anywhere, you're staying right here!"
Takasugi's brow furrowed. "I'll go out and meet this kid!"
In the vast, extravagantly decorated living room of the Gao family villa, Shen Zhantang, dressed in a cold and austere black suit, sat cross-legged on a dark red antique velvet sofa, his long eyelashes lowered, his expression unreadable.
Meanwhile, a dozen or so Shen's bodyguards lined up on both sides.
Outside the villa, Shen's men were also there with weapons. If anyone from Donglian dared to lay a finger on President Shen, they would wipe out Donglian today!
All the Gao family's servants hid in a corner, completely silent.
It was as if the man with the chilling and sinister aura in front of them was the true master of the Gao family.
"Mr. Shen, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Leaning on his cane, Gao Shan emerged, followed by his secretary and a group of subordinates. He forced a stiff smile and said, "Our two families have known each other for a long time. This is the first time I've seen President Chen in person. He is indeed a man of great bearing and talent!"
His attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, but polite and courteous.
You can't hit someone who's smiling at you.
After all, the Eastern Alliance's power is not what it used to be, and it is now just a hollow shell of its former glory.
Ten years ago, he could have shot this arrogant and unruly brat dead, but now he can only grit his teeth and endure it.
Unexpectedly, Shen Zhantang's sharp lips curled slightly, and his voice was cold and mocking:
"What's so great about getting to know a bunch of rats like you?"
Gao Shan's face darkened instantly, and his subordinates behind him were also furious and eager to fight.
However, as soon as they made a move, the Shen family's people also made a move.
Two forces are engaged in a fierce undercurrent, and tensions are running high.
"Haha... Mr. Shen, you came to us today yourself. We at Donglian have served you the best tea and water and treated you with the utmost courtesy. Isn't it inappropriate for you to speak like this?"
"Where is Gao Sheng? Where is he?"
Shen Zhantang had no interest in wasting words with this old man. His dark eyes were like the muzzle of a gun, "Tell him to get out here."
Unable to bear it any longer, Takasugi slammed his cane into the ground.
"Mr. Shen! Watch your words, that's my son!"
"Some people's sons are sons. Others are worse than animals."
"you--!"
"So many days have passed, I think Mr. Gao, you must have a clear understanding of the whole story by now, right?"
Shen Zhantang beckoned with his finger, and Secretary He immediately stepped forward to offer him a cigarette and lit it.
The man took a deep drag and then flicked the ash directly onto the Gao family's expensive wool carpet.
Takasugi's anger was nearing its breaking point. "President Chen, what exactly do you mean? Just say it directly!"
"My child is dead."
Shen Zhantang's voice was hoarse as if it had been scorched by fire, his eyes dim and sorrowful, "My child with Xi'er."
"Who is Xi'er?"
"It's the female bodyguard who's always by my side; your son knows her best."
Shen Zhantang exhaled a thick cloud of white smoke, his eyes deep and unfathomable. "But now, she is my wife, Shen Zhantang's wife."
Takasugi's pupils trembled violently!
An intense fear and unease almost suffocated him!
“If it weren’t for your son harming my wife, our child would be safe.”
Shen Zhantang spoke each word with murderous intent, "The child is gone, and he will not have a peaceful end. Someone has to give me an explanation for this. Someone has to pay for this blood debt, right?"
Gao Shan's forced smile almost crumbled. "President Shen, is there some misunderstanding here? My son has never touched your wife, much less the child in her womb."
"But my child still died because of him."
Shen Zhantang slammed the cigarette butt onto the carpet and crushed it out. "I don't have time to waste with you. Hand over Gao Sheng, and I'll settle accounts with him. After that, I need to rush back to be with my wife."
"Hand him over, and I guarantee your Donglian will be fine. Otherwise, I don't even know what I might do."
Takasugi's heart pounded like thunder.
He definitely couldn't let his son out; he only had one son, and no matter how incompetent he was, he was still the sole heir of the Gao family. Handing him over to Shen Zhantang would be tantamount to sending him to his death.
Therefore, Takasugi composed himself and spoke seriously:
"Mr. Shen, please accept my condolences. But I really don't know what my son did. And he's not home right now. To be honest, I haven't seen him for several days, and I can't get in touch with him. I don't know where that kid has run off to."
Secretary He cursed inwardly: "Old fox! How dare he play dumb when he knows the truth!"
However, Shen Zhantang remained unfazed, as if he had already anticipated this move.
"I'll send someone to find him today. Once I find him, I'll have him come to you and your wife in person to apologize. If Mr. Shen has any other requests, please let me know, and I, Gao, will do everything in my power to compensate you!"
"I don't want compensation. I'm sorry for my loss. I just want you to be sorry for your loss too."
Shen Zhantang slowly stood up, his whole body filled with ruthlessness, his joints cracking. "Gao Shan, since you're so protective of your own, I have nothing more to say to you. I'll make this clear first, so listen carefully—"
I will stop at nothing, regardless of the cost or the consequences, to avenge my child and my wife. I will take your son's blood to pay for the deaths of my wife and my child!
