Chapter 1658: Chapter 1660: Cross-Sector Strike
Tang Wenji truly intended to kill the two of them after the driver left.
However, with three people in company, she still had a way—at worst, she would just kill all three.
Thus, as they passed a corner, a stone the size of a ninety-two-liter refrigerator rolled down from the mountain, bringing with it stones and dirt of various sizes, smashing down onto the road.
Since all three were holding umbrellas, they didn’t notice at first, and by the ti they did, it was a bit too late.
“Damn!” Yang was genuinely shocked, dropping his umbrella and running for his life, protecting his head with his hands, while still shouting, “This damn thing is murder!”
He wasn’t wrong, but unfortunately, by the ti he realized it, it was too late.
Tang Wenji didn’t expect the falling stones to harm them. What she wanted to do was… hide sothing among the stones!
Indeed, a stone the size of a human head, moving with a whistle of the wind, flew straight towards Yang, breaking his arm before heavily striking his neck. He fell over, kicked his legs twice, and lay still.
Xiao Wang was greatly frightened upon seeing this. As an assistant and half a bodyguard, he could imdiately tell that the stone didn’t fall naturally, and couldn’t help but shout, “Spare ~!”
However, he was a bit late in shouting. Imdiately afterwards, another stone of similar size struck his head heavily, and his vision went black, losing consciousness forever.
The driver, who had been calculating in his mind and keeping his distance from the two, upon witnessing this, simply didn’t run, squatted on the ground, hid his head between his arms wrapped around his knees, and shouted, “I’m just a worker, spare !”
About half a minute later, the falling earth and stones stopped. Overhead, there seed to be a murmur, “This isn’t over!”
Of course, this wasn’t over. Yang’s death was quickly brought to the attention of his boss. Once the boss inquired, he discovered that the elusive Feng Jun had appeared at the groundbreaking ceremony.
The boss valued Feng Jun… to an extent, knowing that Feng Jun had done fairly well outside the province, with decent connections, and it was best not to provoke him.
So why provoke him? Because at his level, there’s no one left who’s easy to confront—the pushovers never make it this far. And while Feng Jun wasn’t advisable to provoke, in the end, he was just a small shareholder with a ten percent stake.
Moreover, the crucial point was that Feng Jun wasn’t mingling in the investnt and financial circles!
There’s a saying, “Different circles don’t have to force integration,” and frankly, there’s truth to that. People outside a circle, no matter how formidable, if unable to enter the circle, are useless.
So he felt no need to give Feng Jun face… of course, nor would he intentionally offend him.
Ultimately, it was Xiao Yang who thought Dou Jiahui was easy to bully. After failing his job, he even ca to the site on the day of the groundbreaking, primarily to put pressure on Dou Jiahui.
But things took a turn for the worse; he ran straight into Feng Jun and then encountered a landslide, which directly killed him.
Of course, the exact manner of his death by crushing needed further confirmation, but many people could testify that at the ti of the incident, Feng Jun and his two attendants were by the factory that had just started construction.
The boss felt this matter couldn’t just end like that—with playing in investnt circles, such bad luck hadn’t happened before, let alone turning into physical destruction?
So he had soone investigate the site of the accident, determined to find traces of human involvent, to make Feng Jun pay—if only he couldn’t place full bla, he could at least find sothing!
Unfortunately, however, he was from the financial circles, unfamiliar with other circles, and soon after, his contact called back, sounding quite angry, “Did you offend a guy nad Feng Jun?”
“It was handled by Xiao Yang; I’m not too clear on the details,” the boss removed himself first, then added, “He might have a small share in that project… and even if he was offended, so what?”
“That’s just you being headstrong,” the other party replied angrily, “He’s even registered with the relevant departnts, and even those folks don’t dare to ss with him!”
“They also don’t dare to ss with ,” the boss replied slowly, sticking to the principle—different circles, like Beauty Lin and the likes, sound awe-inspiring, but as long as they don’t touch him, he isn’t afraid.
It’s actually people like Beauty Lin who should be cautious, not abusing their power—departnts of that nature can be the most terrifying if power slips out of control.
So when he said this, he wasn’t scared at all, “I just want you to find an expert to thoroughly check if Xiao Yang was really murdered, then this matter certainly can’t just pass.”
“Wake up,” the response was blunt, “I was told… as long as he doesn’t commit a major cri, no one can do anything to him, got it?”
The boss was thoroughly astonished to hear this, “You an…?”
“More formidable than you think,” the voice on the other end sighed lightly, “Usually those ruthless ones at least have to undergo investigation, but he doesn’t even need that.”
“Oh my!” exclaid the boss, utterly dumbfounded, “Feels more powerful than our financial circles, must I comply?”
“You don’t have to comply,” ca the cold response, “but considering our years of acquaintance, I’ll give you a piece of advice: In your investnt circles, a new saying goes… it’s not your peers who defeat you, but cross-overs!”
“Damn!” the boss laughed bitterly at this revelation, “I never imagined such a crossover could happen!”
“You still have the nerve to swear?” the voice was slightly annoyed, “I’ve said all I can say, I can’t help you, because I’m scared too… It’s up to you, be wise!”
“Wait, hold on,” the boss finally got anxious, “Old pal, I don’t want to fight him to the end, but after Xiao Yang died, the surviving driver heard a phrase, ‘This isn’t over’… isn’t it him coming for ?”
“I knew you had so hidden information,” the other side wasn’t surprised by this news, “I was wondering, with things like this, you’re still thinking about revenge? What’s the situation, tell ?”
After listening to the other party, he pondered a mont and said, “That driver’s quite fortunate; I heard that when Luohua deals with people… they tend to involve their families.”
The boss felt a chill run from his back to his head, and despite the hot weather, his whole body shivered.
He was at a loss for words for quite a while before speaking up, “Involving family… does it have to be so ruthless?”
The other party calmly replied, “I asked around, and I can pass a ssage for Feng Jun. The key is for you to be sensible… make so decent compensation, there’s no grudge that can’t be resolved.”
The boss felt his worldview severely turned upside down, “I compensate them? Old brother, are you mistaken, my people died… and I didn’t take advantage in the slightest.”
“Because you intended to gain at their expense,” the other party patiently replied, internally noting how tiring this was… if it weren’t for dealing with a major financial player, he wouldn’t be this accommodating.
“To Feng Jun, whether people died or not isn’t the issue; the issue is you intended to take advantage of him, hence you must return the terms, which counts as his retaliation… as for a life, that’s basically just interest, right?”
The boss hesitated a bit, still a little unwilling, “This is quite humiliating, they killed my people, and I have to compensate… Old brother, do you think he really dares to touch ?”
The other party sneered disdainfully, “I already said, he dares to handle even , what do you think? I’m in a powerful departnt… so yeah, it’s not your peers but crossovers who defeat you, you’ve made a lot of money, it’s ti to cough up so.”
The boss hung up his mobile phone, shook his head, and sighed deeply, “Alas.”
However, for him, problems that can be solved with money aren’t really problems. The key is, he fully understood how ridiculously wrong his initial planning was.
Well, actually, he couldn’t be entirely blad, not to pass the buck, but he really didn’t think much of such a minor project, it was indeed pushed strongly by Xiao Yang.
But at this point, explanations were futile, so he inquired further about Feng Jun through soone else, confirming the previous information was correct, and this ti the facts were even clearer—if you hold grudges with Feng Jun, resolve them quickly, the guy doesn’t let vengeance linger overnight!
So that very night, he took a red-eye flight straight to Jiangxia, and by dawn, he had already reached Yuyuan.
On the way, he passed by the accident site and still saw stones and mud not completely cleaned up, feeling a strange sensation in his heart.
He wouldn’t admit to being scared, but when he couldn’t see Dou Jiahui, he was extrely uneasy, restless, until he finally saw President Dou, who was just waking up from a hangover, and then he let out a long sigh of relief.
But Dou Jiahui didn’t show much abnormality, and upon hearing he ca to apologize for Yang’s previous actions, he generously stated, “It’s alright, the person is gone, what more can I fuss over? Actually, I’ve always had a decent temper, it’s just my longti friend Feng Jun can’t stand being wronged, I understand why you ca, and I’ll tell him.”
His attitude was good, and he spoke appropriately, but alas… this person dared not believe.
Even without questioning your account of Feng Jun, just considering the reputation of the Dou Family in Chaoyang… are you sure you can describe yourself with “decent temper”?
