Liu Zhong's appearance startled You Chengdao. He understood the rules of the underworld, and knew that Liu Zhong's visit this time must be because of his previous request for him to retire.
Everything that needed to be said had been clearly said last time. If it was Li Meng who came this time, it would most likely mean that Wu Feiyue also agreed with his statement and agreed that he could continue to act as the lead in the business, but just cut off ties with the Daqin Group.
But when it came to Liu Zhong, and he sneaked into the house in the dead of night, the meaning changed instantly. There was no other reason to explain it except to silence him!
Liu Zhong's skills are also well-known in the industry. Looking at the entire Lujiu City, apart from Lu Chuan and Hu Jicheng, few people can fight with him for a few rounds. In his eyes, ordinary people are like ants and cannot withstand a single blow.
You Chengdao knew that resistance was futile, so he rolled over and stood up, saying with a mournful face, "Liu Zhong, I already made it clear with Mengye yesterday that we can talk it out no matter what. Don't be impulsive! Don't be impulsive..."
Liu Zhong's expression was indifferent, his eyes as cold as ice. "When you meet Li Meng, you call me 'Master', but when you meet me, you call me by my name. Lao You, you are very rude."
His eyes seemed to be sentencing someone to death. Cheng Dao understood it instantly and knew that he had completely fallen today. There was no way to stop him, and no way to run away. He could only plop down on his knees on the bed:
"Master Zhong! I've struggled all my life, and it's not easy to get to where I am now. Please be kind and let me go. Isn't it just about retiring? I will! I will retire! If it really doesn't work out, give me some time. Tomorrow morning I will pack up and leave Lujiu City and never come back!..."
Facing death, these words were absolutely sincere and true. If he could really be spared, Yu Chengdao would definitely do what he said and run as far away from Lujiu City as possible as quickly as possible.
But it was too late to express his stance now. Liu Zhong's face showed no mercy. Instead, his brows tightened and he sneered, "Brother Wu gave you a chance, but you didn't know how to cherish it. Now you suddenly realize it, but it's too late. I never kill innocent souls. Today I tell you clearly that this is what Boss Wu meant. If you are not willing to die, go find him!"
After he finished speaking, he punched You Chengdao, knocking him off the bed and falling off the bed. Then the two younger brothers behind him took out the sacks they had prepared in advance and put them on him.
Being put into the sack, You Chengdao was completely panicked. At this moment, all his social experience, eloquence, and status became meaningless, and what was left was the most primitive instinct for survival.
He struggled violently and shouted loudly, asking for retirement or money, no matter what, as long as he could be given a chance to live.
It was late at night and Cheng Dao's shouting instantly pierced the darkness. Afraid of being noticed by the neighbors, several people started fighting through the sacks, punching and kicking him and beating him up.
One of the guys even pulled out a dagger, aimed at the neck in the sack, and stabbed it hard. After a few slashes, Liu Zhong stopped him and cursed him in a low voice: "You fucking idiot, you stabbed him and left blood everywhere. Are you afraid that others won't notice?"
You Chengdao was also lucky. The younger brother's several slashes were extremely powerful, but fortunately he used his arms to protect his neck, thus avoiding the fate of having his throat cut. However, after Liu Zhong kicked him hard in the head, his eyes were still fixed and he completely fainted.
After loading the sacks into the van, the group headed to the coast as planned, choosing a spot on a bridge with a dramatic drop. If the sacks were washed away by the sea, they would likely be eaten by fish by the time they were discovered again. Only the bones would have rotted away.
Being thrown from the van, the heavy impact brought You Chengdao back to consciousness. Although he struggled with his last bit of strength, it was all in vain. He was thrown into the sea while the world was spinning...
After recounting his near-death experience, You Chengdao burst into tears. "Luckily, I've always kept my wife and children in my hometown in the countryside. Otherwise, Liu Zhongquan would have been the one to silence me after seeing what happened last night! I, You Chengdao, have worked diligently all my life, earning my own money step by step. I never expected to end up being used as a 'packaging agent' for sea reclamation."
Brother Hu, you saved my life. I will remember this kindness forever!"
Hao Zhengguang glared at him, "Hey, hey, hey, Lao You, can you please be more polite? Who pulled you out of that freezing cold sea water in the middle of the night? Who bandaged your wounds, disinfected them, and relieved the pain? Have some sense in mind. If you want to remember, you have to put Dongzi, Ajie, and me at the top of your heart. You will be punished for being conscienceless!"
You Chengdao forced a smile on his red and swollen face: "Yes, yes, yes, I will always remember the kindness you three have shown me. I am old and injured, so my brain is not working very well. Please bear with me, brothers, please bear with me..."
Seeing that You Chengdao had recovered, Hu Jicheng breathed a sigh of relief and replied, "Everyone thinks you're dead now. If you want to survive, you must disappear. This place is relatively secluded, so stay here and recuperate for the time being. Don't show up for the time being. As for your hometown, I'll have someone bring news to you, so don't worry."
Then he looked at Hao Zhengguang and said, "Xiaoguang, please go through the trouble again and buy some more food and daily necessities for Lao You. I'll pay for it."
After settling You Chengdao down, Hu Jicheng walked out of the room. His relaxed expression quickly tensed up again, his eyes filled with worry. "First, he monopolized the suppliers, and now he's restricting the shippers. Wu Wenshan's move is truly ruthless, cutting off the source of funds. I'm afraid Second Master is going to have another headache..."
Meanwhile, Qin Yuhao received a flurry of frustrating news. He hadn't found a new supplier yet, and many buyers were canceling their orders. Even lowering the price didn't help. Meanwhile, some longtime clients had turned to Wenshan Trading, offering only an "I'm sorry" to Qin Yuhao.
The entire Daqin Group, from the main company to the branches, to more than ten sites under its umbrella and seven manufacturing plants far abroad, all the workers and employees add up to nearly 10,000 people. These are tens of thousands of families and tens of thousands of mouths. Once the company loses its profits, no matter how big the enterprise is, it will not be able to survive for a few days, and the consequences will be devastating!
Qin Yuhao's face was livid from his busy schedule, and he'd even smashed seven office phones. Not a single piece of good news had come in the entire day. Furthermore, rumors were circulating that Daqin Company was on the verge of bankruptcy, prompting many employees to leave the company.
For a time, the Daqin Group, which had been a stable presence in the business world for decades, was like a towering tree that had lost its nutrients. As time went by, it began to crumble from all sides...
