The fire that burned the warehouse escalated, and before long, the fourth shareholder, Deng Xian, along with several board members, jointly submitted a letter to push for a board resolution. A storm was brewing, and Deng Xian launched a fierce offensive against Yuan Lin.
Among them was the strong support of the Jiang family, represented by Jiang Cheng.
Furthermore, with Deng Xian winning over a group of board members, the situation began to turn in one direction, and Yuan Lin was almost suffocated by the pressure.
He went to the city council, but was refused entry by the members of the elders' council, and had to return in disgrace, becoming a laughingstock.
In the eyes of countless people, with the granary now burned down, Yuan Lin and the faction he represents are facing imminent danger...
That evening,
Four seasons.
Employee representative Chang Lun leaned against the wall of the central hall, drinking his beverage, watching Meng Jingyuan meet with guests in the distance. He was all smiles, showing almost no sign of panic or worry.
"He's really good at keeping his composure," Chang Lun said.
Standing next to him was another employee representative, a close friend of Chang Lun, named Ling Shan. He said, "The group's representatives are all here, and this is the day after the warehouse burned down. Do you know the significance of this?"
Chang Lun laughed and said, "It's nothing more than a power struggle between the two sides. Yuan Lin also needs someone to speak up for him. But... Xu Shou's death is too suspicious. Who do you think did it?"
Ling Shan said, "I don't know, and I don't care..." He lowered his voice and leaned closer to whisper, "Our task is to keep a close watch on Meng Jingyuan and see how he acts. Don't do anything unnecessary."
Forest Group has several employee representatives who, in addition to holding shares in the group, are also members of the board of directors.
These people... are numerous, control many grassroots units, and have supporters, so they are a force to be reckoned with. It is reasonable for Yuan Lin to ask Meng Jingyuan to win them over. However, the more people in an organization, the more complicated it becomes.
Meng Jingyuan scanned the entire central hall. Of the representatives present today, how many were spying on him? How many were opportunists? And how many were someone else's confidants and subordinates? He knew it all perfectly well.
But things must be done and words must be spoken.
No one can leave tonight. We've given them enough benefits; they can take as much as they can get.
The master needs help.
...
Bang bang bang.
A gentle knocking sounded suddenly.
Who is it?
A woman's voice came from inside the door.
The middle class of Wall One generally lives on the outskirts of the affluent area. It has good security, and the residents are all legal taxpayers of Wall One, generally second-class citizens, although some first-class citizens also live here. It is a very nice residential area.
The third-class citizens lived further out, close to plantations and industrial zones, while the fourth-class citizens... were the city's trash, and no one cared about them.
The woman opened the door, and standing before her was a stranger. He was not dressed like a second-class citizen; he looked more like a homeless person. He was filthy all over, wearing a cloak, and his exposed forearms had bulging veins and bulging muscles. His eyes shone with a blue light.
A flash of azure light appeared, and the man smiled and said to her, "Madam, good evening. I'm sorry to bother you. Please come with us."
The woman's face was expressionless, her gaze gradually becoming unfocused and blank. She nodded and said, "I understand."
"Remember to bring your daughter."
"Okay, I understand."
The woman didn't pack any luggage or change into her work clothes. She led her five-year-old daughter onto a large metal truck. The truck was closed and locked, and the two of them didn't make a sound.
Hu Quan took a note out of his pocket, placed it on the carpet at the entrance, and got into the passenger seat of the truck as if nothing had happened.
The driver tonight is Kuangtu. He's a man of few words, but he's steady and reliable. Huquan relies on him a lot.
"This is... the third one, right?"
The madman nodded.
“Let’s keep going. We have plenty of time tonight, so let’s drive slowly. By the way, are you hungry?” Hu Quan asked with a smile.
The madman shook his head.
Hu Quan looked out the window. “This method needs to be very discreet, but there are many uncontrollable factors involved. If those employee representatives come back and find that their family members are not there, different people will react differently, which is something we cannot control.”
The madman was focused on driving.
Hu Quan added, "Therefore, we need to split up. You and I will be responsible for kidnapping the target, while the eldest and third eldest will be responsible for overall surveillance."
The madman pointed to himself.
Hu Quan laughed and said, "You're in charge of protecting my safety. After all, you're very strong, and I like people who don't talk much."
The madman said, "There are too few people."
"Fewer people means easier remote control. Let's gather all our subordinates in the underground warehouse, and then have the second brother take people to control all the employee representatives. After they finish their meeting at Sijitian, we'll move them to another location and have a big meeting with them."
The madman smiled.
Hu Quan rubbed his stomach: "There's a good restaurant nearby. You drive there, and I'll buy some late-night snacks. I'm really hungry."
At the same time, in the residential area, the first house that Hu Quan and the madman had visited had its occupants taken away by Hu Quan. There were other people in the house, namely Zhou Jie and Skinny Cat, who had just arrived.
"Boss, will this method work?"
"You don't believe Lao Wu?" Zhou Jie glanced at him.
Skinny Cat pursed his lips: "His ability is quite convenient, but it's too slow. If you ask me, how much faster would it be if the five of us led our men and charged in?"
Zhou Jie patted him on the shoulder: "What you're doing might easily attract the attention of the police and law enforcement. If the news gets to Four Seasons Sky, our plan will be much less effective."
The skinny cat sighed.
Zhou Jie urged him, "Alright, stop overthinking it, just keep a close watch on things!"
"yes."
The skinny cat sat in the chair, closed his eyes, and his senses began to rise. He could clearly see the streets after nightfall, the homeless people scavenging for food in the alleys, the metal-clad vehicles on the main street, the girls greeting guests at the entrance of entertainment venues, a man and a woman sweating profusely while exercising in a bedroom in a small building, tiny mosquitoes flying and swirling in the air, and even deep underground, he could see water pipes and cables, and dirty rats sniffing and crawling in the underground passages...
At the same time, Chen Bao dangled her legs and sat in front of an advertising billboard on the rooftop of a building. The dazzling fluorescent and neon lights illuminated her back, highlighting the shadowy side of her front. Her bright eyes occasionally flashed with a deep blue light.
"Second Sister, are you really leaving after this job?"
Chen Bao smiled and asked, "Are you coming with me?"
"Of course, wherever you go, the brothers will go!"
Chen Bao laughed heartily, pulled his legs back from the edge of the rooftop, slowly stood up, shouldered his large gun, and said, "I'm going to chase after my man, are you all going too?"
The henchmen looked at each other, then said in unison, "Yes!"
Chen Baozhan gazed ahead. Beneath the high walls, the night was ablaze with lights, a refreshing breeze blew, and a heavily polluted city stood before him, along with a group of people enslaved and treated like livestock…
