Chen Zhe was genuinely surprised by Tian Dongqiang's words, but he still couldn't be sure.
Are you saying he ordered the murder?
"No, he killed the person himself."
"What?! Are you serious?!"
Chen Zhe stood up from his chair in shock. Someone of Wei Ming's status was going to kill someone personally? If this was true, then this was a huge matter.
“I have no reason to lie to you. A year ago, Wei Ming was driving drunk and hit and killed someone. At the time, the person was not completely dead, and Wei Ming ran over him repeatedly, which led to his death.”
Do you have any evidence?
“Yes, after the incident, he asked me to deal with the car overnight and arrange for someone to take the blame. What he didn’t know was that I copied the dashcam footage from the car.”
Chen Zhe took a deep breath; it seemed that Tian Dongqiang had kept a trick up his sleeve a long time ago.
How terrifying! How could Wei Ming have known that the person who was so loyal to him would one day keep evidence to harm him?
Haha, it's somewhat ironic, but it's also good. It's because of people like this that villains like Wei Ming can be dealt with.
"I'd like to take a look."
Chen Zhe said.
Tian Dongqiang hesitated.
"You can look, but you have to show some sincerity, and you have to look at it on the spot, you can't take it away."
What kind of sincerity are you talking about?
"Give me 3 million first."
"Heh, Tian Dongqiang, you're really obsessed with money. You want 3 million just to look at something? Do you think money grows on trees? I don't necessarily need to kill Wei Ming. I just need his supermarket to go bankrupt. With the evidence I have and the strength of Zhe Shangzhe now, we can definitely achieve that. It just takes a little longer. On the contrary, you... heh, if you really want to cooperate with me, it's more advantageous for you to destroy Wei Ming. Don't you agree?"
Tian Dongqiang hesitated for a moment. Chen Zhe was right. If he jumped out to testify against Wei Ming and didn't kill him, Wei Ming would never let him go when he came out.
"Chen Zhe, don't make it sound so easy. If you bring him down, he won't let you off the hook either. Without me as a witness, he might not even go to jail. He'll be like a mad dog, relentlessly biting you. I don't believe you'll be able to live with yourself."
Tian Dongqiang's words hit Chen Zhe's sore spot.
"Hehe, I admit I'm a little worried about that, but I do have connections, so how can we be the same?"
"Don't brag to me. When Wei Ming sent people to hunt you down, Hu Ling didn't care!"
Chen Zhe squinted.
[As expected, it was that bastard Wei Ming. He wanted me dead so badly, so I'm not going to let him get away with it.]
Chen Zhe was originally a young man with little social experience. By chance, he entered the Linglong Club and came into contact with its dark side. He also became Wei Ming's mortal enemy by mistake. From being framed to being hunted down, even the kindest person's heart will be changed.
If Heaven doesn't look out for you, Heaven will punish you.
He felt uneasy if Wei Ming didn't die.
Seeing that Chen Zhe hesitated and didn't speak, Tian Dongqiang took the initiative to say, "Let's each take a step back. Give me two million and I'll show you. I'll reassure you."
500,000.
"Minimum 1.8 million."
"400,000!"
"Damn it, why are you still going down?"
That's not how you bargain. You should lower your price while the other party raises it. Why is Chen Zhe doing the opposite?
"If you're not sincere, then forget it, pretend I didn't say anything."
Tian Dongqiang was very angry; he was very dissatisfied with Chen Zhe's answer.
“I am sincere. You are the one who is not sincere. Moreover, you didn’t see through it. Didn’t you ever think about why I was able to survive his pursuit?”
"Well... I heard you got lucky and someone interrupted you."
"Hehe, what a coincidence! I was able to escape, of course, because of Sister Hu's help."
"How could that be? Wei Ming said Hu Ling didn't help you!"
Tian Dongqiang was somewhat shocked; Wei Ming wouldn't lie under those circumstances.
"If you don't believe me, you can call those assassins and ask them if they can get close to me right now?"
"Well... I'll ask later."
Tian Dongqiang hung up the phone.
Chen Zhe wasn't afraid of him asking. No matter how he asked, there would only be one result: he would have to believe in himself.
...
Tian Dongqiang returned to the breakfast stall.
The two men he brought were smoking.
"Minister Tian, what are the plans for later?"
"Let's contact the village committee again when we get to the village later."
"Didn't I already ask? It's not very useful!"
"Why don't you just ask a few more times? By the way, Qiu, can I ask you something? Has Chen Zhe's matter been resolved yet?"
A Qiu threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stomped on it.
"Don't even mention it. I've staked it out several times, and every time this guy gets incredibly lucky. It's like someone in the dark is helping him out."
Tian Dongqiang was startled, but he remained calm and asked without showing any emotion, "What do you mean?"
"For example, last time, we blocked him at the supermarket entrance, but suddenly more than a dozen taxis came out and followed him. Those people had appeared before, which forced us to change our plans again."
"Oh...does President Wei know about this?"
"Yes, I know. Brother Leopard told him. What's wrong, Minister Tian? Didn't you know?"
Tian Dongqiang's heart skipped a beat.
[So Wei Ming had already suspected it; it must have been Hu Ling who made the move. No wonder he was in such a hurry, and why he didn't tell me about it—was he being suspicious of me?]
"Minister Tian, what's wrong?"
"Oh, it's nothing. Let's go to the village."
"oh……"
...
At noon, Chen Zhe received another call from Tian Dongqiang.
The other party demanded 500,000 yuan, which Chen Zhe agreed to. Now they are just waiting for him to return before meeting.
Wei Ming was unaware that Tian Dongqiang had betrayed him; at that moment, he was overjoyed to have received the money.
"Shen Xingang, Wei Meng, you two think I'll go bankrupt just because you won't help me? Heh, I'm a lucky person, how could I fall so easily? And Chen Zhe, Hu Ling, you want to crush me? Heh, dream on!!"
Wei Ming muttered to himself in Li Fulai's office, while Zheng Xiuxiu, who was pouring water beside him, rolled her eyes.
"Amin, what are you planning to do next?"
Why do you care so much?
Wei Ming's tone was subconsciously harsh, but after seeing a change in Zheng Xiuxiu's expression, he thought about it again. He had just gotten this money from Zheng Xiuxiu, and she might lend him more money in the future, so he decided to keep her calm for now.
As a result, his attitude softened.
“That’s not what I meant. You’ve never been involved in the company’s affairs. Although the shares have been transferred to you, I’m still the one doing the actual work. Even if I told you, you wouldn’t understand.”
"Although I don't understand, I still want to help you. If I don't know anything, how am I supposed to answer when my cousin asks me?"
"Well... what you said makes sense."
The money was borrowed by Zheng Xiuxiu. If Gu Kejie asks about it later and she claims to know nothing, it will indeed raise suspicion.
"Alright, then I'll tell you what I'm planning to do..."
Wei Ming told Zheng Xiuxiu about his plans, and Zheng Xiuxiu then asked to join the company.
Wei Ming originally didn't want to agree, but because of Gu Kejie, he had no choice but to nod.
He quickly convened a meeting, appointing Zheng Xiuxiu as vice president, but in reality, this vice president had already taken control of all of Lifulai's shares.
...
Hu Ling received a call from Zheng Xiuxiu, and a smile appeared on her lips.
"Well done. Get familiar with it as soon as possible, and this supermarket will be yours in no time."
"Okay, Sister Hu, I will try my best."
After hanging up the phone, Hu Ling shook her head with a smile; "There are really a lot of naive people in this world."
Chen Zhe received a call from Hu Ling. It was very rare for Hu Ling to call him during the day, or even rarer for him to receive a call from Hu Ling.
Because Hu Ling usually only calls him to her office when she's working.
Hu Ling didn't waste any words and said directly, "Don't suppress Lifulai recently, give some customers back to them."
"Huh? Sister Hu, why? Given their current situation, they can't hold on for much longer."
Zhe Shangzhe has basically poached all of Lifulai's customers, big and small, and even their suppliers have started to come and talk to him.
Everything is moving in a positive direction.
Chen Zhe didn't understand why Hu Ling would tell him to stop at this moment.
"Don't ask so many questions, just do as I say."
"I understand."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Zhe sighed softly. Wang De, who had just returned to Zheshangzhe, asked, "Brother, what's wrong? Did Sister Hu say something?"
Chen Zhe repeated what Hu Ling had just said.
Wang De was also puzzled when he heard this, but he knew that no one could change Hu Ling's decision.
He patted Chen Zhe on the shoulder and said, "Brother, just listen to Sister Hu. This Zhe Shangzhe is basically all hers now. At most, we only have a few shares."
Chen Zhe smiled wryly, agreeing with what Wang De said.
Since reopening, the real owner has become Hu Ling, and her current shareholding is not much more than Wang De's.
He used to think he was very smart and knew how to use connections to his advantage, but he never expected that after all his efforts, he would end up benefiting Hu Ling. He didn't know why, but he just felt that everything naturally went to Hu Ling.
He shook his head, putting those minor emotions behind him.
Looking at Wang De's leg.
It was a prosthetic leg, and even after rehabilitation training, Wang De still walked with some awkwardness.
"Brother, how's your leg?"
Wang De patted his prosthetic leg.
"It feels pretty good. Xiaohua said I'm Iron Man now, hahaha."
Seeing Wang De's optimism, Chen Zhe felt relieved.
"By the way, brother, my older brother just called me and said he has something he wants to talk to you about."
"Hmm? What's up?"
He said he found a business opportunity over there and asked if you were interested.
