The hall masters, who had been shouting and yelling, suddenly became quiet.
He obediently sat back down in his chair.
"Chairman, now that we've started, there's no turning back. Lei Yansheng just reported to me that he found two of the three hall masters, but they've both been beaten half to death. I've already had Lei Yansheng send them to the hospital."
Seeing that Liu Shang was wavering, Zhang He quickly whispered to Liu Shang what he hadn't said earlier.
"What? Who's the last person we haven't found?"
Upon hearing that his two brothers, who refused to compromise with Wang Zhao, had been beaten half to death, he was shocked to learn that they had followed their own brothers.
Liu Shang, who had initially calmed down, felt a surge of anger rekindle within him.
Unexpectedly, Wang Zhao was truly ruthless. Upon hearing that there was still one person missing, he asked Zhang He.
"That person is Li Sihu."
At this point, Zhang He could no longer hide the truth; if he did, Liu Shang might change his mind.
"Guards, arrest this Wang Zhao!"
Upon hearing that the missing person was Li Sihou, he finally couldn't bear it any longer.
He slammed his hand on the table, pointed at Wang Zhao, and gave orders to his subordinates.
Upon hearing Liu Shang's order, the person standing behind Wang Zhao slammed Wang Zhao's head onto the table.
Seeing that Wang Zhao had been subdued, the other hall masters also stood up, wanting to escape.
"Sit down, all of you!"
Big Bear pulled out his knife, stood at the doorway, and shouted at the gang leaders who were trying to slip away.
"Let me go, Chairman, what do you mean by this?"
Even though he was pinned to the table, Wang Zhao still pretended not to know anything and asked Liu Shang.
"Wang Zhao, are you still putting on an act at this point?"
Zhang He looked at Wang Zhao, who was still pretending, and spoke up.
"Who do you think you are? I'm talking to the chairman, what right do you have to interrupt!"
Wang Zhao, who already disliked Zhang He, was extremely disgusted by Zhang He's words and shouted at him.
"Wang Zhao! Where is Li Sihou?"
Liu Shang asked Wang Zhao with a cold face.
"Where is Li Sihou? How would I know?"
When Wang Zhao heard Liu Shang mention Li Sihu, he was also very alarmed.
But he still looked completely clueless as he answered Liu Shang's questions.
"Zhang He, you speak."
Seeing that Wang Zhao still wouldn't turn around, Liu Shang didn't want to waste any more words.
Then he waved his hand and gave the order to Zhang He.
"Okay, Chairman, everyone. Just now, Wang Zhao sent a text message to his men, telling them to come here immediately. But just as you were about to leave, we took control of your hideout and intercepted the message. Our men also rescued the two hall masters who were on the verge of death, but we haven't found the missing Li Sihou."
Hearing that his stronghold had been destroyed, Wang Zhao gave up and looked dejected, as if he had lost his soul.
When the other hall masters heard that Wang Zhao's territory had been taken over, they also began to panic.
Doesn't that mean they also...?
"Just as you guessed, your stronghold has also been taken over by us. After you gave the orders yesterday, all your men were under our control. So now you have no chance of turning the tide. I hope you will compromise."
Seeing the tense expressions on the faces of the other hall masters, Zhang He understood what they were worried about and addressed them.
"I compromise, I'm willing to disband the rest of the group."
"I'm willing too."
"I'm willing. We were all forced into this situation by this guy. We hope you can do whatever you want with us, boss, but please don't harm our families."
"That's right, I'll agree to any conditions now, as long as my family isn't harmed..."
These people heard that their subordinates had all been brought under control.
Even if they didn't compromise, they had no other chance, and so they all pleaded with Liu Shang.
"Mr. Lu, what do you think?"
Looking at these brothers who had once followed him, Liu Shang felt a pang of guilt.
However, seeing that Lu Fan was still beside him, he was a little hesitant to give orders, so he asked Lu Fan, who was standing to the side.
"These are all your brothers. There are still many positions in the company. See if there are any suitable ones for them and arrange them. But you should decide who it is yourself."
Lu Fan saw that Liu Shang had thrown this difficult problem at him, and then he looked at the expectant eyes of everyone.
After thinking it over, I made a reasonable arrangement for these people.
"You people, why aren't you thanking President Lu yet!"
Liu Shang was pleased to hear that Lu Fan was giving him face. Their initial agreement was to fire all these people.
That's why I put this question to Lu Fan and let him make the decision.
Hearing that Lu Fan was going to leave these things behind, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Turning to look at the stunned people, he quickly addressed them.
"Thank you, Mr. Lu."
"Thank you, Mr. Lu."
Everyone understood that Liu Shang was listening to Lu Fan.
Lu Fan had already nodded and reassigned them to new positions, leaving them all stunned.
However, upon hearing Liu Shang's reminder, they quickly realized what was happening and bowed to Lu Fan while expressing their gratitude.
"Alright, alright, the company's future development will still depend on everyone here."
Seeing these people thanking him, Lu Fan felt a little embarrassed and stood up to say something to them.
"Wang Zhao! Tell me where you took Li Sihou?"
Looking at Wang Zhao, who was being held down, Liu Shang could tell that Lu Fan didn't want to keep Wang Zhao alive.
That's why he put himself in charge of deciding this person's situation, but Liu Shang still felt a little reluctant and wanted to give Wang Zhao a chance.
"Hahaha, I locked Li Sihou in my basement. Since I've already done this, do whatever you want with him."
Wang Zhao was also in despair.
So he also told Liu Shang about Li Sihou, the matter Liu Shang wanted to know.
What did you do to him?
Liu Shang had already heard Li Sihou's location, so he asked Wang Zhao with concern.
“Li Sihou and I are good brothers. Even if he hit me in front of everyone, I wouldn’t lay a hand on him. I would just lock him up.”
Upon hearing Liu Shang's questioning, Wang Zhao sneered a few times and stated his principles to Liu Shang.
"Zhang He".
Having already heard that Li Sihou was alright, Liu Shang quickly called out to Zhang He.
"Understood. Lei Yansheng's last remaining Li Sihou is in Wang Zhao's basement. After finding him, bring Li Sihou to the company. The chairman wants to see him."
Zhang He also knew what he should do.
So he quickly dialed Lei Yansheng's number and gave instructions to the person on the other end of the phone.
