In a luxury hotel, Li Jianfeng sat on a sofa, his back against it, his left hand resting on the back of the sofa, his right prosthetic arm removed, leaving only the empty sleeve.
His expression was unreadable, but Chen Hao, standing to the side, hung his head, clearly terrified.
"Boss, why didn't you tell me you were coming? I could have sent a car to pick you up!"
He was pretending to be calm, but his voice was clearly trembling.
Li Jianfeng snapped his fingers with his left hand, and a bodyguard dressed in a black shirt quickly entered from outside the door.
"Chen Hao, this is how you protect the person I asked you to protect?"
And that other residential complex, after more than two years and so much money invested, all I got was a funding shortage and it became an abandoned project?
As they were talking, the bodyguards had already lifted him up, looking like they were about to teach him a lesson.
Chen Hao had seen Li Jianfeng torture people before, and now his legs went weak, and he cried and begged:
"Boss, it's my fault for not handling things well, but Lin Tao's matter is really not my fault. He exposed himself by killing someone, and he has done so many illegal things in the past. I couldn't protect him even if I wanted to!"
I knew you couldn't save it either, so I didn't tell you. What Lin Tao did for you before, I can do for you too!
With a wave of his hand, Li Jianfeng loosened his grip on Chen Hao's bodyguard, who then collapsed to the ground like a lump of dough.
"I'm giving you a chance, don't let me down again."
Li Jianfeng tilted his head slightly, signaling Chen Hao to leave.
After Chen Hao left quickly, he put on his prosthetic leg and got on the bus back to Guangzhou.
Upon learning that Lin Tao was to be executed, he used someone else's identity and drove directly to the capital.
The gunshot instantly brought his thoughts back to more than a decade ago, when his older brother died in the same way.
Because of the human skin mask, he was hunted down as a murderer for more than ten years.
Once the statute of limitations for the case has expired, he will come here openly and honestly to drag all those who have hurt him down to hell.
He wasn't worried; their business was booming and they were living happily. He couldn't wait to see them fall from the peak of their lives to the bottom.
As the car carrying him drove away from the bustling metropolis of the capital, he looked at the buildings receding behind him and revealed a sinister expression.
Chen Hao breathed a long sigh of relief upon learning that Li Jianfeng had left.
"Damn it, this King of Hell is terrifying. He found this place without anyone noticing. Is he crazy? He made me keep an eye on Lin Chen's family's every move, but he wouldn't let me do anything, especially that Lin Qiao, the one-armed guy. Her tastes are just different!"
However, Li Jianfeng forbade him from attacking people, but he didn't say he couldn't attack the company.
Recently, Jiang Ning's company's new computers and mobile phones have been selling like hotcakes, which has made him extremely envious.
Thinking about the Jixiang residential complex he bought, he realized that after finally getting approval for the residential project, all the investments he made were like a bottomless pit, draining the company's funds and leaving him unable to get loans, so the project was left unfinished.
Fortunately, there were no pre-sale apartments in this era. If a house wasn't finished being built, it couldn't be sold, so there was no risk of being besieged by potential buyers.
But the material suppliers, knowing that he couldn't pay the final payment, would still come to his door from time to time to demand it, which annoyed him to no end.
In order to plug the funding hole, he decided to extort money from Jiang Ning.
Soon after, Jiang Ning received a video showing someone being electrocuted, collapsing, convulsing, and foaming at the mouth while operating Ning Zhi's computer.
Whether the people inside died or not is not explicitly stated in the videotape.
A letter tucked inside clearly told her that if she didn't give him a million dollars, the contents of the videotape would be released to the world.
For a new computer brand, this kind of thing can have a fatal negative impact on future computer sales.
Upon learning of this, Yang Xiu even prepared to set aside one million and send it to them.
One million—that's a whole suitcase full of money.
Jiang Ning stopped him.
"Don't you find it strange? Someone gets an electric shock while using a computer, and it gets recorded on camera? Unless the camera is pointed at him the whole time."
This is clearly a self-directed farce, staged to extort money.
Yang Xiu had always received a good education and later worked in scientific research and technology. He always conducted business in a proper and honest manner and never imagined that someone would make a fake video to extort money from him.
"What should we do? If we don't pay them, they'll release the video, which will severely damage the company's reputation," Yang Xiu said anxiously.
Although I'm unwilling to be extorted for a million, compared to the loss of reputation and the resulting decline in sales, that could be a loss of tens of millions.
He could weigh the lesser and the greater the lesser.
Jiang Ning's face darkened as he said, "The transaction is at 10 a.m. tomorrow. We still have some time. Investigate carefully who sent this videotape."
Yang Xiu had people watch the video repeatedly, and finally traced back from the serial number on the computer, they discovered that the person who bought the computer was Chen Hao.
After learning about this situation, Jiang Ning told Yang Xiu that she would not go to the transaction tomorrow, and that if they wanted to release the video, then so be it.
Yang Xiu was filled with anxiety and stayed up all night until the next day.
He called Jiang Ning in the trading company office to confirm repeatedly whether he was willing to risk being questioned by everyone.
Jiang Ning usually works at the trading company and Yang Xiu's technology company, only going there occasionally.
She didn't go to work at a tech company because of this incident.
"Don't worry, I've arranged everything. Chen Hao will hold a press conference at 10 o'clock to release the video. You can go and watch it then," Jiang Ning said calmly.
Yang Xiu's heart was in his throat. He had witnessed Jiang Ning's abilities, but he still had doubts about whether things would take a turn for the better.
Chen Hao is clearly targeting Ningzhi Company. Do you think he'll have a change of heart and stop playing the videotapes?
He rushed to the press conference in a hurry.
Chen Hao sat on the stage with a playful expression, holding a Ningzhi mobile phone in his hand and fiddling with it.
Next to him was a 32-inch color TV, the kind with videotape playback function, which could be said to be the best color TV on the market at present.
Before the press conference even started, a message was repeatedly broadcast over the loudspeaker.
Exposing the shady dealings of Ningzhi Computer and revealing the truth to consumers.
Because it involves Ningzhi Technology, the most cutting-edge and trendy technology company in the entire capital, the reporter was very interested in this matter.
Seeing Yang Xiu sit down next to her, a girl who looked like a college student said to him:
"Are you here for an internship too? I heard there's some dirt on Ningzhi Company, but it all seems so far removed from my life. They all use phones that cost 10,000 yuan and computers that cost 20,000 yuan, while I can only use a pen. Do you think there's anything worth digging into about Ningzhi Company?"
