"Tang Ping, don't be so arrogant!"
Zhang Biao looked furious.
A policeman standing nearby said aggressively, "Smoking won't land you in jail, but it will cost you 50!"
Tang Ping smiled faintly, took out a wad of banknotes from his pocket, and tossed them out in a flourish, saying, "Here's a thousand yuan. I'll treat everyone to a draw!"
"Fuck you! Tang Ping, you're asking for it!"
Zhang Biao couldn't hold back any longer and rushed forward to make a move.
Bai Xiaojie and Lin Yuan, who were nearby, immediately took out their phones to take pictures and shouted, "The police are beating people! The police aren't investigating the murderer, but are beating the victim's family!"
Two policemen quickly came up and pulled Zhang Biao back, whispering, "Captain, don't be impulsive. Hitting someone in front of so many people will have a very bad influence."
"Yes, he deliberately provoked you. If you're going to beat him up, you should take him back with you."
Zhang Biao's face flushed red with anger, and he glared fiercely at Tang Ping, looking like a menacing demon.
Tang Ping, however, remained calm and collected. He flicked his cigarette ash and left with Bai Xiaojie and Lin Yuan. As he passed Zhang Bian, he whispered in Zhang Biao's ear, "Compared to An Xin and Li Xiang, you're still too green. At least they're willing to be human. You, you can't even be a dog properly."
As he spoke, Tang Ping patted Zhang Biao on the shoulder, his words carrying a hidden meaning.
Zhang Biao's face was gloomy as he stared intently at Tang Ping's back, but he didn't dare to step forward to stop him.
How did he know?
According to the unwritten rules of the underworld, one should not bring trouble upon one's family.
The Grand Palace has really crossed Tang Ping this time. If his brother-in-law hadn't accidentally driven the car away, Tang Ping would probably be the one lying in the hospital, a corpse.
This incident infuriated Tang Ping, who immediately ordered all of his entertainment venues to close.
This time, let's go big.
There were two car explosions, one involving Tang Ping's car and the other involving a car belonging to the Construction Group. Uncle Tai usually owns two cars, but the one he was driving was being repaired today, and the explosion occurred at the repair shop.
Afterwards, Uncle Tai was shocked when he found out. He remembered the surprise the fox had mentioned at the entrance of the bidding center and knew what had happened.
Uncle Tai instructed Gao Qiqiang to find Tang Ping immediately.
That evening, everyone gathered in a private room at a tea restaurant.
Uncle Tai, Gao Qiqiang, and Tang Ping sat inside, surrounded by bodyguards.
Uncle Tai's face was grim. He said, "Killing someone is just a matter of beheading them, but this time Zhao Yu went too far, even causing a car explosion. If we don't fight back, we're just waiting to die."
"Uncle Tai, if we really make a move, what will happen to Zhao Lidong?" Gao Qiqiang asked.
"Hmph, his son even wants to kill me. He broke the rules first, so why should I care what kind of damn deputy mayor he is? If the ship sinks, we'll all go down together!"
Uncle Tai said angrily, then turned to Tang Ping and asked, "Tang Ping, what's your opinion? Give me a straight answer. Anyway, whether you make a move or not, I'm definitely going to turn against them."
Tang Ping said with a smile, "Tonight, all entertainment venues, including Wan Zi Qian Hong, have ceased operations. Uncle Tai, what do you think my stance is?"
"good!"
Upon hearing this, Uncle Tai's face lit up with joy. He said, "Alright, this time our two families will join forces. We'll leave the social aspect to Gao Qiqiang. We'll provide the manpower and the money. You two young people can discuss it yourselves. In addition, my construction group will also put pressure on the media and the government. Hmph, I, Chen Tai, have been in Jinghai for so many years. I may not have much else, but I do have a few friends."
"I'm relieved that Uncle Tai is so determined."
Tang Ping said with a smile.
His biggest worry was that Uncle Tai would only talk the talk but not walk the walk, making him the one charging ahead while he sat back and watched the two tigers fight.
But now that Uncle Tai has personally taken to the field, Tang Ping has no worries.
With both sides having reached an agreement, the next step was to discuss the details of taking action.
"I'm not eating anymore!"
As Uncle Tai was talking, he slammed his chopsticks down and said, "Damn it, the more I think about it, the angrier I get. Gao Qiqiang, let's take action tonight and teach them a lesson."
That evening, Uncle Tai's side launched the first attack.
He held a high-profile press conference in the name of the construction group, inviting a large number of newspaper reporters, including those from Jinghai and neighboring provinces and counties.
Everyone who comes receives a travel allowance.
The press conference was a grand affair, with Uncle Tai personally taking the stage to point out irregularities in the bidding process for the coastal highway project in front of the media. These irregularities included the pre-selection of Huaxuan Construction Company, whose owner was Zhao Lidong's son, Zhao Yu, and collusion between officials and businessmen.
Uncle Tai cursed with righteous indignation, accusing Zhao Yu of using underworld methods to intimidate people, with the car bombing case being the best example. However, because Zhao Lidong was in charge of the political and legal system, the police did not say a word about such a big incident and found nothing.
This matter caused a huge uproar, and the news media reacted very quickly.
Although no TV stations or newspapers in Jinghai dared to report on it, the neighboring counties and cities didn't care about Jinghai's affairs. They were eager to see such big news, as it would boost sales.
The press conference had just ended when Uncle Tai received a call from Zhao Lidong's secretary.
"Uncle Tai, it's just a bidding project. Jinghai has several other projects planned for the second half of the year. Why are you making things so tense? You're putting the leadership in a very passive position."
Uncle Tai, seething with anger, said, "He's passive? I almost lost my life. Tell him to go back and ask his son what he's done. Killing someone is just a matter of nodding your head, but once the table is overturned, nobody will have a good time. Also, you're not qualified to talk to me. Next time something happens, let Zhao Lidong call me himself!"
After the call ended.
At that moment, in a study, Zhao Lidong was leisurely sipping tea, not even lifting his eyelids, and asked, "What did Chen Tai say?"
"Boss, his tone sounded like he was ready to fight to the death. I didn't understand what he meant, but it seems like the young master did something to anger him. Anyway, Chen Tai is about to go crazy."
Zhao Lidong asked in surprise, "Oh? A fight to the death? It's just one bidding project, surely it shouldn't come to this? Zhao Yu, what did he do?"
"Some people say that the young master was responsible for that car bombing," Secretary Wang said in a low voice.
"What a load of bull! Who told him to do this? No wonder Chen Tai was biting me like a mad dog."
Zhao Lidong's eyes widened, and he said angrily, "Damn it, this brat is always causing me trouble. Didn't I tell him not to get involved in those things in society? He can be a boss behind the scenes and do whatever he wants, is that not allowed?"
Secretary Wang didn't dare to speak and stood aside.
Zhao Lidong was furious and yelled, "Go, find that brat right now! I want to ask him if his brain is full of shit!"
"Yes, sir!"
Zhao Lidong had just figured out the situation when Gao Qiqiang had already taken action.
