"That Chen Siming is truly a case of being more trouble than he's worth!"
Li Donglai was so angry that he couldn't help but curse.
He also pointed to Chen Siming to help get Huang Feng out, so that Huang Long would owe the Martial Alliance a favor.
I never expected that this kid would get himself involved!
Meanwhile, Huang Long was anxiously waiting at home.
He only has one younger sister, Huang Feng, whom he has raised as his own daughter since she was little. Now that his sister is in trouble, he is extremely anxious and can't sleep well.
After thinking it over, he couldn't help but pick up the phone and call Li Donglai to ask what was going on.
As soon as the call connected, he hurriedly asked, "Young Master Li, is there any news about my sister?"
Li Donglai sighed heavily, "President Huang, I'm afraid this matter will be difficult to handle!"
"With your Martial Alliance's connections, you can't even handle this?"
Huang Long was greatly shocked.
He knew that the Martial Alliance had been cultivating relationships with many middle-level officials in the political arena over the years!
Knowing this, he sought help from Li Donglai.
But to his surprise, Li Donglai told him that it couldn't be done.
He quickly added, "Young Master Li, do you need money to smooth things over? No problem, just name your price and I'll transfer it to your account immediately!"
Li Donglai sighed again and said, "President Huang, this is no longer about money! To be honest, I've already asked someone for help with this. It's a deputy captain in the police station, someone my Martial Alliance has cultivated. After our phone call this afternoon, I had him handle it, and guess what? He went to the surveillance center to delete evidence for your sister, and Ma Jianguo caught him red-handed. He was dismissed and investigated on the spot! President Huang, do you know how difficult it is for my Martial Alliance to cultivate a connection? Because of this, I've lost a key figure!"
"Is this really true?"
Huang Long's eyes widened, and he said somewhat apologetically, "I'm sorry, Young Master Li, for troubling you! That bastard Ma Jianguo came to my house to arrest someone before. I tried everything to reason with him, but he wouldn't listen. Why don't you have your Martial Alliance talk to him again, Young Master Li?"
Li Donglai's eyes flickered slightly, and he quickly said, "Chairman Huang, to be honest, I've already spoken to Ma Jianguo, but that old guy doesn't give me any face! He also said that Lord Xu personally oversaw this case and insisted on handling it strictly, and that he only listens to Xu Chengyi!"
"What? Lord Xu has intervened in this case?"
Huang Long couldn't help but frown: "I haven't offended the Xu family, so why is Lord Xu bringing up my sister's case?"
Li Donglai's eyes darted around, and he said, "Chairman Huang, if I may be so bold as to say a few words, 'A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime.' In recent years, your Huang family's business has flourished, especially the coal business, which is simply a money tree! It's inevitable that you've attracted attention!"
Upon hearing this, Huang Long's heart tightened, and he couldn't help but say, "This...no way?"
Li Donglai said earnestly, "President Huang, I've said my piece. Anyway, I've given you a heads-up. I advise you to make plans as soon as possible! Don't wait until someone cuts you before you feel the pain!"
Before Huang Long could speak, Li Donglai quickly added, "President Huang, I'm doing this for your own good! Rather than being slaughtered, it's better to strike first! To be honest, my Martial Alliance and the Xu family have some grudges! If you're willing, our two families can join forces to punish the Xu family!"
"Sanction the Xu family?"
Huang Long was extremely shocked.
I never expected the Martial Alliance to target the Xu family!
You must know that Xu Chengyi is a marquis and the son-in-law of the Wu family in Yandu. He is not someone to be trifled with!
"You, you let me think about it, think about it!"
This was a huge matter, and Huang Long dared not agree immediately, so he quickly hung up the phone.
Then he fell into deep thought.
Although the Huang family is wealthy, their background cannot compare with that of the Xu and Li families.
To be honest, he doesn't want to offend either side unless absolutely necessary.
Moreover, Li Donglai's words should not be taken at face value.
As of now, there is no indication that the Xu family intends to target the Huang family.
bell!
However, at that moment, a piercing bell suddenly rang.
It was his assistant calling. He frowned slightly, then answered, "What's the matter calling so late?"
"Chairman, something terrible has happened! There's been an accident at our mine!"
Huang Long's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly asked, "What happened?"
The assistant hurriedly said, "The mine in Xishan has collapsed! More than a dozen people are buried!"
"What?" Huang Long jumped to his feet. "I personally surveyed the mine in Xishan. The structure is stable. How could it possibly collapse?"
The assistant gritted his teeth and said, "It was Old Wang, who was in charge of the demolition, who deliberately put in too much explosives! We apprehended him immediately, and he has already confessed, saying that the Xu family gave him a sum of money to do this!"
"What? The Xu family?" Huang Long gritted his teeth. It seemed that Li Dong was right. The Xu family really had their eyes on his coal mine!
Huang Long hurriedly said, "Don't panic! First, keep the news under wraps. I'm going to the scene right now!"
The most important thing now is to suppress the matter. At worst, we can spend more money on hush money for the family. Let's make a big issue into a small one, and a small one into nothing.
"Chairman, it's too late! The people from the Supervision Bureau have arrived. It's as if they knew we were going to be in trouble beforehand; they came as soon as things happened! It's Deputy Director Xu Lei who came. He has already ordered our mine to be sealed off and has taken several of our key personnel away!" the assistant shouted anxiously.
"Xu Lei?" Huang Long's face immediately turned ugly. He knew this Xu Lei; he was a relative of the Xu family, Xu Chengyi's cousin!
After hanging up the phone, Huang Long angrily kicked the coffee table to the ground, yelling, "Xu Chengyi, I have no grudge against you, why did you try to harm me?!"
A coal mine collapse isn't a big deal. People die every day in the coal industry. You can usually smooth things over by bribing a few people and spending some money.
But this time, the other party was clearly targeting the Huang family, determined to kill them!
Thinking of this, Huang Long was furious!
"Xu Chengyi, don't think that I, Huang Long, am easy to bully. You started this, so don't blame me for being ruthless!"
His sister's arrest and the coal mine accident left Huang Long in a state of utter chaos. More importantly, at this moment, he had come to believe Li Donglai's words!
So he gritted his teeth, quickly took out his phone, and called Li Donglai.
Meanwhile, Li Dong saw the incoming call and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
Old Wang, who was in charge of the demolition, was naturally bribed by someone he hired, and it was also he who deliberately made the call to the supervisory bureau in advance.
The purpose of doing this was, of course, to force Huanglong to join forces with him.
Unexpectedly, Huanglong actually took the bait!
"Hello, Chairman Huang, why are you calling again?" Li Donglai asked, feigning surprise.
Huang Long took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Young Master Li, Xu Chengyi has gone too far! I have decided to join forces with your Martial Alliance to punish the Xu family!"
