Hong Sihai frowned and looked at Wang Biao with a serious expression.
"Ah Biao, what's wrong with you? Why are you being so reckless?"
"I'm sorry, Fourth Master," Wang Biao said with a hint of apology.
Hong Sihai nodded and asked, "What happened?"
“Zhang Daguo and his son have run away,” Wang Biao said, his face not looking too good.
"They ran away?" Hong Sihai said with displeasure.
"What's going on? How can so many of you not even keep an eye on these two people?"
"Are you all just good-for-nothings?"
Hong Sihai was very angry because he had just made a promise to Ye Chen, but the result had slapped him in the face not long after.
Hong Sihai was both embarrassed and angry, and also quite uneasy.
Wouldn't that leave Ye Chen with the impression that he was incompetent?
Wang Biao's expression was also very unpleasant; this matter had indeed been handled poorly.
"Fourth Master, Master Ye, it's my fault for not handling things well. I'm sorry."
"Stop with this nonsense, what's going on?" Hong Sihai said coldly.
On the contrary, Ye Chen's face remained completely calm.
"We just brought Zhang Daguo and his son to the door."
"We were just about to get the two people into the car when the accident happened."
“We didn’t expect the police to be eating here, and then Zhang Daguo and his son took the opportunity to shout, and we didn’t dare to chase after them.”
"We could only watch helplessly as Zhang Daguo and his son escaped."
"Fourth Master, I have failed in my duties. I will accept whatever punishment I am given."
After hearing Wang Biao's words, Ye Chen and Hong Sihai finally understood what was going on.
“Go and collect a hundred boards yourself,” Hong Sihai said.
"It's not worth getting so angry over such a small thing."
"After all, they didn't expect the police to be here," Ye Chen said calmly.
Hong Sihai breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Ye Chen say that.
"Ah Biao, what are you standing there for? Quickly thank Master Ye."
"Thank you for your understanding, Master Ye," Wang Biao said immediately.
"Please rest assured, Fourth Master, Master Ye, I will handle this matter well."
"You can run away from the monk, but you can't run away from the temple."
“Our Sihai Group has considerable influence in Jingzhou. Zhang Daguo and his son won’t live much longer.”
Ye Chen didn't say anything and continued eating quietly.
Zhang Daguo and his son were just minor figures; it wasn't worth him personally getting involved.
"Alright, Ah Biao, you take charge of this matter. Remember, you must handle it well," Hong Sihai quickly instructed.
The fact that his subordinates had performed poorly had already caused Hong Sihai to lose face in front of Ye Chen, so Hong Sihai naturally hoped not to make another mistake.
"Yes, Fourth Master," Wang Biao immediately assured him, then left the private room.
Hong Sihai quickly poured tea for Ye Chen, smiling apologetically at him.
"Master Ye, I'm so sorry, this is our responsibility."
"This matter has already been addressed; there is no need for further apologies."
"From the moment Zhang Daguo and his son launched their attack on Ruoxi, their fate was sealed; it was only a matter of time."
Ye Chen said calmly, not taking Zhang Daguo and his son seriously at all.
“Master Ye is right,” Hong Sihai replied.
Time passed slowly, and under a bridge, Zhang Daguo and his son were resting on a stone bench, both looking quite unwell.
Zhang Daguo looked at his son and became angrier and angrier. Finally, he kicked him, and Zhang Qiang immediately cried out in pain.
"Dad, what are you doing?" Zhang Qiang said, looking pained.
"You bastard!" Zhang Daguo shouted angrily.
"You've really gotten me into trouble this time."
"How could I have given birth to such a bastard like you? I should have just stuck you on the wall."
"Didn't you say that Ye Chen was completely useless?"
"Even the renowned Fourth Master has to obey Ye Chen, is that what you call utterly useless?"
"Dad, I... I didn't know Ye Chen had such a powerful background that even Fourth Master had to listen to him," Zhang Qiang said with a grim expression.
"If I had known he was this powerful, I wouldn't have dared to mess with him even if you gave me a thousand lives. I just didn't know."
"Blame Ye Chen for being such a bastard."
"He clearly has a powerful background, but he pretends to be completely useless."
Even now, Zhang Qiang still doesn't think he's wrong; he thinks it's all because Ye Chen is pretending. Otherwise, he would have targeted Ye Chen and Lin Ruoxi.
"Even at this point, you're still trying to argue your point."
"This time, not only I, but the Zhang Group has been ruined by you, do you even realize that!"
"If we hadn't run into the police by chance, we would both be dead by now."
Zhang Daguo still feels lingering fear when he recalls it.
Sihai Group is very powerful in Jingzhou, and Zhang's Group relies on Sihai Group for its livelihood.
It would be incredibly easy for them to crush them.
"Dad, Sihai Group is powerful, but are we really that vulnerable?"
Zhang Qiang quickly replied, still harboring a sliver of hope.
When Zhang Daguo saw his son asking such a stupid question, he really wanted to slap him to death.
"All you do is indulge in debauchery all day long."
"It would be easy for us to destroy the Lin Group, and it would be even easier for the Sihai Group to destroy us. We're finished now."
"No, Dad, I don't want to die. Please think of something quickly."
Zhang Qiang finally realized he was afraid, and became trembling with fear.
"Think of a way? What other way can we think of? You've ruined our chances of survival."
Zhang Daguo said anxiously and nervously.
"Sihai Group will definitely issue a blacklist order against us, which will have a huge impact. Zhang's Group won't be able to hold out for long."
"The Zhang Group has committed many violations and illegal acts over the years."
"And all those shady things you've done, you bastard."
"All these things will be exposed. What good will come of this for us? We're doomed," Zhang Daguo said in despair.
"No, no, I don't want this," Zhang Qiang said, struggling.
“We still have money, so let’s hurry up and escape abroad before this gets exposed.”
Do you know why I didn't go back to the company or home immediately?
"Why?" Zhang Qiang asked, dumbfounded.
"Because Fourth Master is very powerful, his men have already rushed here. If we go back, we'll be walking into a trap."
“If they catch us, we’re all going to die,” Zhang Daguo said with a grim expression.
"We are now essentially unable to return home."
"Clang!" Zhang Qiang collapsed to the ground, his heart filled with extreme panic.
"Dad, what... what should we do?"
"The most urgent thing is to find a place to hide, and then figure out some way to save our lives."
"Dad, I've thought of a way to save my life." In desperation, a thought flashed through Zhang Qiang's mind.
"What method?" Zhang Daguo asked, his brow furrowed and his expression grave.
"While the news hasn't spread yet and not many people know about it, we should take advantage of the fact that it hasn't spread far and that not many people know about it yet."
"Since even Fourth Master has to obey Ye Chen, why don't we start with the people around Ye Chen?"
“For example, Ruoxi and her parents.” A sinister look flashed across Zhang Qiang’s face.
