Soon, dozens of people gathered outside the private room, keeping a close eye on the situation inside. As soon as chaos broke out, it would be their chance to rush in and make a name for themselves.
“If you were a fool, you wouldn’t be talking to me, but I think you’re a smart man.”
Hu Yuan's words will truly test whether An Longhua is indeed a smart person.
The people inside the private room had already rolled up their sleeves, and those outside were gripping the doorknobs.
They were just waiting for An Longhua to make a move or say a word.
"Let's go."
However, An Longhua was not angry. Instead, he led Hu Yuan out directly.
The others still didn't understand what was going on, but they could only continue with their own entertainment.
Upon arriving at the office, An Longhua politely invited Hu Yuan to sit down.
“I already know about your situation; you were indeed a very important person in the past.”
Even more surprisingly, An Longhua expressed his admiration for Hu Yuan.
“You know that’s not what I want to hear.”
Hu Yuan sipped the tea that An Longhua had personally brewed, and spoke without any politeness.
"Of course, unless you're a big shot, no one will necessarily want you dead."
An Longhua continued.
"How much money did Li Jie offer you to save my life?"
"I don't know who this Li Jie you mentioned is, but I know that even a centipede with a hundred legs doesn't die easily. I won't attack you again, but I also want to remind you that just because I won't do anything to you doesn't mean you're safe."
An Longhua was indeed a very strange person. He didn't seem worried about Hu Yuan's retaliation at all, and instead spoke to him as if he were talking to a friend.
"I don't need you to remind me. I have two purposes for coming here today. First, to prevent you from doing something foolish, which you have already figured out yourself."
"I won't agree to the second one."
Hu Yuan thought this guy was smart enough, so he didn't want to beat around the bush and directly stated his purpose.
However, Hu Yuan stopped halfway through his sentence and An Longhua refused.
"You know what I'm going to say?"
Hu Yuan asked curiously.
"I had someone break one of your arms, and you want me to give it back to you."
An Longhua remained expressionless.
He knew that Hu Yuan was not someone to be trifled with and didn't intend to provoke him anymore, but if Hu Yuan insisted on pushing his luck, he wouldn't be polite either.
After all, he wasn't someone to be trifled with.
"Okay, you guessed right. In that case, I'll choose another one."
Hu Yuan smiled.
To be honest, Hu Yuan couldn't possibly let something like this—someone else had broken his arm—just pass by. But on the other hand, it was because of these things that the old man appeared.
If we balance the gains and losses, there's no need to break someone's arm.
Besides, the person who injured me has already received his due punishment.
Most importantly, Hu Yuan needs to preserve his strength, keep a low profile, and avoid making a big fuss if possible.
"You say you don't know Li Jie, then who exactly ordered you to kill me? What was the reason? How much did they pay you?"
"Speak."
Hu Yuan needs to understand these things.
Since there are still people behind An Longhua, then that person will definitely not let him have an easy time.
Although An Longhua gave up, it also meant that he would soon find someone else to deal with him.
If we don't take precautions beforehand, we might get hit with a stick.
"It's Chen Shangyun from Jin'an City. The reason is that someone offered a high price. I don't know how much the other party offered him, but he offered me ten million."
An Longhua didn't want to say these things, but even if he did, he wouldn't lose anything. Although Chen Shangyun was powerful, he couldn't do anything about him.
After all, this isn't his territory.
"Jin'an City, Chen Shangyun?"
Hu Yuan had never heard of this name before, nor had he ever been to this not-so-large city.
"This guy is just a figurehead in Jin'an City. He's definitely not here, and he wouldn't dare to be. Whether he's in the country or not is another matter, since committing a crime is no small matter. Many places are looking for him."
An Longhua was also reminding Hu Yuan to be careful in everything he did.
"That means it will be quite difficult to find him."
Hu Yuan had originally decided to find the person who made the deal with Li Jie and eliminate them completely, thus solving the problem at its root.
But now it seems almost impossible.
"This guy never even uses his phone number for more than a day, so no one can find him except him looking for you."
An Longhua rolled his eyes.
"Okay, thank you for being so honest. I hope you keep your word. Your bar is also very good. Keep it running well. I believe you have the opportunity to get on the right track."
After saying this, Hu Yuan got up and left.
An Longhua sat in the chair, momentarily stunned.
In fact, everything Hu Yuan said at the end was exactly what he was thinking.
Having become a petty thug at the age of thirteen or fourteen, he is now utterly disgusted with this life and wants to change it.
But that's easier said than done.
Some paths, once taken, are difficult to turn back from.
Of course, if he hadn't already decided to turn back from his wrong path, he wouldn't have been able to give up that ten million so quickly.
On the way back, Hu Yuan sorted out his thoughts.
He had offended many people, but the only one who truly wanted to kill him was Li Jie, this guilty-looking guy.
The Chen Shangyun that An Longhua mentioned may very well have also fled abroad to live.
Putting it all together, the person behind all this funding must be Li Jie.
One hundred percent, there is no other possibility.
In other words, the real root cause is not Chen Shangyun, but Li Jie.
Given Hu Yuan's current situation, there's no way to do anything to him.
Even if this guy were still holed up abroad, or even if he were still living in China, Hu Yuan couldn't do anything about him for the time being.
So the only thing Hu Yuan can do now is to strengthen his defense awareness and protect himself and his family.
The company is now growing stronger. Although apart from Zhang Qing's project, it only takes on small projects, with Hu Yuan, who can predict future trends, overseeing them, at least each project can earn a small profit.
The Great Wall was built brick by brick, and so is a powerful company.
Only by gradually accumulating funds can Hu Yuan embark on larger projects.
With clear goals and the company's strength steadily increasing, Hu Yuan's return to his peak is just around the corner.
Besides Hu Yuan himself, Zhang Qing, who offered timely help, also firmly believed in this.
In recent times, he has not only helped keep an eye on this project, but has also been reaching out to other projects.
Hu Yuan knew that he intended to give many of the projects to himself.
But if things continue like this, it's really not appropriate.
Therefore, Hu Yuan had to come up with another solution.
