Chapter 85 Siege of the Zhang Family
Zhao Fengxiu's words left Zhang Cheng speechless with anger, his eyes wide with shock.
Zhao's mother also slowly stood up. "What's the point of talking about this? Let's see the guests out!"
Zhao Fengxiu said, "He's already come all this way, do you think he can just leave so easily after fooling us?"
The Zhao brothers also looked embarrassed.
If Zhao Fengxiu hadn't been there, the two of them would have been made a fool of!
You should know that they had been seriously considering Zhang Cheng's plan these past few days, but they never expected it to be so full of loopholes!
I can't let this go unpunished.
Zhang Cheng angrily pointed at them, backing away nervously, and said, "You, what exactly do you want? If you don't do it, there are plenty of others who will!"
I refuse to believe I can't find someone to partner with me! With your brains, you listen to a woman's nonsense instead of someone as knowledgeable as me!
I've wasted my breath coming here!
Zhao Fengxiu scoffed, arms crossed, "Then dare you ask Zhang Min from your village to come?"
Zhang Cheng spat angrily, "She's so busy, would she let you see her? You're all brainless, bothering others? What a joke! Fine, I'm not going to argue with you anymore, goodbye!"
Seeing that things were going badly, and that the Zhao family members looked so angry, he had also heard the rumors about Zhao Fengxiu's family.
If he can't afford to mess with him, he'll just avoid him!
Just as he was about to lift his foot to leave, his shoulder was suddenly and forcefully pressed down!
"Mom, why are you wasting your breath talking to him? A beating will make him behave! Don't worry, I'm good at this, I won't kill him!"
Liu Jiangong, who was standing to the side, heard everything clearly and was getting impatient, rubbing his shoulders together.
No wonder Mom called him over; it seems she wanted him to show off his skills!
Before the words were even finished, Zhang Cheng, dumbfounded, questioned, "You dare... in broad daylight..."
Before he could even speak, Liu Jiangong punched him in the face!
"ah!"
"Brother Gong, I'll help you!" Liu Zhenyan rushed up and beat Zhang Cheng hard.
"Aaaaah! You've gone too far! You...aaaah..."
“And us!” Zhao Pinji’s son also came up.
Four or five men dragged Zhang Cheng out of the yard and beat him severely!
A series of wailing sounds attracted the attention of the surrounding neighbors. People who were eating, holding babies, or washing basins all came over.
"Hey, hey, what's going on? Why are you hitting people like that?"
"Who is it? Why are you beating him like this? Ah, isn't this Brother Zhang?"
"Why are you hitting him? Stop it!..."
The neighbors, unaware of the truth, tried to come in and stop them without explanation. Zhao Fengxiu and her brother Zhao Pinji came out and explained to them at length by the courtyard wall.
Let me show you what just happened in the room, Zhang Cheng's actions, and the contract paper that fell to the ground!
After some explanation, the neighbors' expressions all changed drastically!
"Oh my god! I can't believe it. No wonder he was trying so hard to persuade my family to cooperate just a couple of days ago."
"You have one too? My family has one too! I thought Zhang Cheng only looked for our family!"
"Oh? They've been looking for you all? He came to my house too!"
The neighbors all said that Zhang Cheng had come to talk to them one by one, but they were all hesitant, and not many things had been settled yet.
After all, Zhang Cheng had only been back for a month or so, and he was still going out on business from time to time.
Some villagers had already fallen for the scam, but Zhang Cheng, in order to play the long game, gave some benefits to those who had already been deceived, and didn't completely cheat them.
As a result, Zhang Cheng still has a very good reputation.
Hearing her neighbors say this, Zhao Fengxiu suddenly realized!
No wonder so many people in the village were fooled in her past life, including her maternal family, the Zhao family. It turns out that each family wanted to cooperate with Zhang Cheng alone and did not want to tell others to get a share of the profits!
Zhang Cheng wants to catch big fish, so once a contract is signed, he'll definitely tell everyone to keep quiet and make empty promises.
What do you mean? We'll only cooperate with your company, don't tell anyone else!
It'll only make you cheap or something!
A series of misleading statements left many people completely confused.
After the neighbors finished talking, they were stunned by Zhang Cheng's terrifying nature!
They exploit the weakness of human greed, creating a false impression that people are afraid to openly cooperate, thus luring everyone into their trap!
"If the Zhao family hadn't made a scene today and exposed Zhang Cheng's actions, we wouldn't have known any of this!"
"Yes! That's terrifying! It turns out he contacted more than one company. I always thought he was just visiting people out of boredom!"
"You're also saying that your family kept the news of your potential collaboration from Zhang Cheng?"
"You're the same! We agreed to do good things together, but Zhang Cheng came to your house and you didn't even come to me!"
"Not as cunning as you..."
The neighbors, enraged, started arguing. An old man shouted, "Enough! What's all the arguing about? I swear I won't rest until I beat this old man to death!"
"Charge!"
While they were talking, Zhao Fengxiu quickly came over and unlatched the door, and they pushed it open and came in!
After Liu Jiangong and Liu Zhenyan had finished beating him up, they heard shouts and curses coming from behind them and turned around in confusion.
They were shocked!
Zhang Cheng still had a few breaths left. Taking advantage of their distraction, he quickly tried to slip away on his hands and knees!
No sooner had Liu Jiangong and his brothers stepped aside than a dozen neighbors rushed over, cursing and punching and kicking him!
"Ahhh... let's talk... properly..."
Zhang Cheng was surrounded and beaten by a group of people. He was completely naked, and even his so-called leather bag was kicked to pieces.
The neighbors kept cursing, "You heartless bastard! How could you even think of doing something like this? Your ancestors must have accumulated a lot of good karma!"
"We all trusted you so much in secret, and were even thinking of working with you. We never imagined you were a swindler! That was all our hard-earned money!"
"You deserve to die! Just die already! Bah!"
"..."
As they were fighting, they accidentally got involved with one or two others.
Somehow, Zhang Cheng managed to slip away from the group of elderly men and women and managed to climb over the wall with all his might!
Liu Jiangong and his group hadn't reacted yet.
Zhao Fengxiu watched helplessly as Zhang Cheng scaled the wall and escaped, shouting and pointing, "He's over there! Where are you hitting? Who are you hitting?"
She didn't want to get her hands dirty; it would be too much trouble to fight someone like that.
Zhang Cheng was a man who had been out in the world before, and he was quite skilled. He managed to escape by climbing over the wall despite being hit so hard!
It seems they really do know he's a desperate criminal.
However, they were somewhat outmatched by Liu Jiangong and his group.
Upon hearing this, the neighbors realized that the two people in the middle were an elderly man and woman, and became even more furious.
They shouted angrily and chased after Zhang Cheng!
Zhao Pinji and Zhao Pinqi went from being confused, shocked, angry, to explaining, and now they've come to terms with it. They really wanted to fight back, but luckily their son joined forces with Zhao Fengxiu's son.
They then realized that they had the right to make rash decisions and invest in big deals.
It is wrong to risk the lives and fortunes of an entire family.
Seeing the neighbors and children chasing after him, Zhao Pinji and Zhao Pinqi waved their hands and called out that their children were coming back.
Seeing so many people chasing after him, Liu Jiangong became too lazy to chase anymore.
Zhao Pinji and the others looked at the elderly men and women who had collapsed in the courtyard, and carried them all back to their respective homes.
That night.
Zhao Family Village was deserted and silent.
Meanwhile, Zhangjia Village was engulfed in flames as many people carrying torches and flashlights went to Zhang Cheng's house to cause trouble, vandalizing and destroying property!
