"Bribery is just a charge. You can easily pull soone out to take the bla. In the end, it just amounts to the Wang Family employing the wrong person, losing so money, and losing a company. Indeed, it can’t cause any major blow." Fatty Wang squinted his eyes at the old man.
"Any news about Zhang Teng’s recording tape?"
"The Dark World has always been cautious in handling matters, and they haven’t replied with any information about taking over yet." The old man assessed how likely it was for the Dark World to take on the task. Things are different now; the new head is not easy to deal with.
"Hmph, just up the stakes a bit, who in this world isn’t interested in money?" Fatty Wang mocked with contempt; he hadn’t t such a person.
"The Dark World isn’t a force that can be asured by money." The old man explained with a slight air of disdain for Fatty Wang’s ignorance. It was true; very few people in this world aren’t interested in money.
Realizing he might have spoken too much, Fatty Wang cautiously glanced at the old man. "Elder Guo, what do you think we should do next?"
Recognizing the situation is Fatty Wang’s strength, Elder Guo nodded. "Let’s first consider what Xiao Lin intends to do."
"Is there even a question? Clearly, he wants to target our Wang Family."
"If his target is the Wang Family, then I think we can just ignore it." Elder Guo spoke with confidence. Although the Wang Family was run by Fatty Wang, they had Wang Zhanting sitting in the City Council. Uprooting them would still require so backstage support. "If his target is you, then we’ll have no choice but to eliminate him." At this point, Elder Guo’s eyes burned with a murderous intent.
"Haven’t we sent enough assassins? How many have co back alive?" Upon hearing this suggestion again, Fatty Wang snorted coldly.
"It’s because we haven’t found the right target."
"You’ve seen the last few we’ve dealt with, each one a top expert. If it weren’t for that person stepping in, we wouldn’t even be able to hire them." Fatty Wang seed very cautious of that person, and he never easily ntioned their na in front of Elder Guo. So, to Elder Guo, it only seed like Fatty Wang had connected with a powerful figure capable of commanding the ’Black Crow.’ Such individuals are never simple. "Xia Yuxuan pressures every day to take action, and then Chu Fangxiu goes missing at this ti. If more lives are lost, how are we supposed to clean this up?"
"Xia Yusheng is now clinging to this ’inone’ issue. The woman you previously sent soone to find has beco a witness for the other party. If you persist and it goes to court, it will beco a case, and the police will get involved. Liu Sheng’s death will surface, including Chu Fangxiu." Elder Guo was unconcerned about what would happen to Fatty Wang; his real trouble was Xiao Lin.
Fatty Wang fell into silence, caught in an awkward situation. The matter was minor, but it involved nurous issues. He couldn’t help but gaze directly at the old man through the smoke. "If I withdraw from ’Rhein,’ what will Xia Yusheng do?"
"From what I see, Xia Yusheng doesn’t seem intent on being utterly relentless. Moreover, I suspect he already knows about your relationship with Xia Yuxuan. Traditional enterprises like his place significant weight on the taboo of not airing family grievances publicly." In Fatty Wang’s tone, Elder Guo detected a subtle compromise. "’Rhein’ focuses on product quality. If you place problematic products there, they will intervene. Your initial intent was to take over ’Rhein,’ but I have to ask, is that woman really that important to you?"
The answer was undoubtedly no. Won were inconsequential to Fatty Wang, and Elder Guo had made his point clear. At critical monts, won should be used for sacrifice. Fatty Wang’s initial decision had already displeased Elder Guo. Their relationship was quite delicate, and when it ca to Elder Guo’s suggestions, Fatty Wang would seriously consider them—a mistake on his part.
The phone on the table rang with Line One blinking. Fatty Wang gestured to Elder Guo to be silent, cleared his throat, and picked up the phone.
"Uncle!" The caller was Wang Zhanting.
"What’s going on with ’inone’?" The mont he entered the office, his secretary had already sorted through the news regarding the Wang Family online and printed it out for him. The news was all about the fake ’inone’ products, accompanied by two completely different product inspection reports. With his experience, he saw through it imdiately. This matter had probably reached Hua Muyun’s ears, but that old fox hadn’t made any move. Who knows what he was plotting this ti.
"I also just heard about this. The Xia Family is demanding us to withdraw our counters. I’m discussing it with our lawyers. After all, this affects the efficiency of various counters, and since it’s only about one product, I find it sowhat unreasonable."
Lighting a cigarette, Fatty Wang rembered the old man’s repeated reminders not to fall out with Wang Zhanting. Having a family mber in the city committee had its advantages. Businesses that don’t cooperate with officials don’t last. Although he personally didn’t see the necessity, for the old man’s sake, Fatty Wang gave Wang Zhanting so respect.
"Did you take bribes?" Wang Zhanting picked up the two inspection reports, noting the signee on the product release report was Chu Fangxiu, while the other ca from the 315 Consur Association.
"I’m investigating this matter, Uncle. You should know how large an organization I manage; I can’t possibly oversee everything, right?" It was no surprise Wang Zhanting would question him about this. "If it turns out soone below is tarnishing the Wang Family’s na, I will surely hand him over to the police. What do you think?" Fatty Wang earnestly vowed while scribbling ’capture Xia Xue’ on a note and handing it to Elder Guo.
"I hope so. Because of this incident, the city is reconsidering your contracts in Liger City. You should deal with it." Wang Zhanting hung up, but would he really trust Fatty Wang’s words? The answer was definitely yes.
"Minister Wang, Secretary Hua requests you visit his office." A sweet voice ca through the intercom. Wang Zhanting replied before hanging up. He then dialed a number on his mobile phone.
"Lao Lin, could you do a favor and run to the Quality Supervision Bureau to find soone nad Chu Fangxiu?" Wang Zhanting was asking none other than the Deputy Director of the City Police Departnt, Lin Zhifang.
"Oh! Minister Wang, hello! I know the person you’re talking about. His family reported him missing this morning. He hasn’t returned ho since yesterday, and we’re currently sending people out to find him." Lin Zhifang unbuttoned his shirt collar, feeling a surge of sweat whenever he received a call from Wang Zhanting. (To be continued.
