"Honey, you saw it too. That old man doesn't treat us like people at all. He forced us into this!" Miao Fengying said in a low voice.
Han Zongren's gaze was fixed on the luxurious commercial vehicle in the distance. He wished with all his heart that the car would stop midway, but in the end, he was disappointed.
Han Guangyao's commercial vehicle didn't slow down at all. Only when it completely disappeared around the corner did Han Zongren withdraw his gaze. Both his fists, clenched tightly in his sleeves for too long, had caused the skin on his knuckles to go numb.
He scanned the surroundings and said coldly, "Let's talk in the car!"
This place was crowded and too many eyes were watching, making it unsuitable for a conversation.
After the couple got into the car, the vehicle quickly drove away.
"Honey, say something! Are we just going to let them continue to defecate and urinate on our heads, and be treated like nobodies that anyone can bully?" Miao Fengying's face was filled with anger, her expression ashen. Though her looks were ordinary, her figure was shapely, her full breasts rising and falling noticeably, a clear sign of her fury.
"If you're not willing, then I'll do it myself. I'll reveal the ugly faces of that old man and those two guys to the public, so the world can see just how dirty this family is!"
"What we can't have, others shouldn't expect to enjoy in peace!"
"Honey, I can be one hundred percent certain that those two bastards who were cuckolded got control of those two mining areas precisely because that old man, in a desperate attempt to quell this incident, reluctantly granted them as compensation!"
Han Zongren sneered, "Naturally. Otherwise, with that old man's selfish nature, they would never have gained control of those two mining areas so easily."
"For so many years, the three of us brothers have tried every means to get control of those mines, but that old man never agreed. Yet, this time he gave it to them so readily. If that's not compensation, what is?"
As he spoke, a deep jealousy flashed across Han Zongren's face, and he subconsciously glanced at his ordinary-looking wife beside him.
Unexpectedly, this glance was caught by Miao Fengying, who immediately flew into a rage. "What's with that look?"
"What? Do you want me to strip naked and sleep with that old fossil so that you can also get a mining area, and then you won't be so jealous now?"
Han Zongren quickly shook his head and denied it. "No! Absolutely not!"
"Then in your heart, are you thinking that because I'm ugly and not as beautiful as those two seductive sluts, that's why the old man let me off?" Miao Fengying pressed on aggressively.
Han Zongren shook his head like a rattle drum and said righteously, "Although you're not as pretty as those two sluts, you are gentle and virtuous, have a great figure, and have provided so much help to my career. In my heart, you are the most beautiful."
Miao Fengying's heart felt much more at ease.
"Then what about the suggestion I made earlier? Have you considered it?"
"We absolutely cannot stand by and watch others treat us like dough to be kneaded at their will. We must fight for our own interests!"
Han Zongren's expression flickered, and after a long hesitation, he finally nodded. "I'll have someone contact the Kong family first."
Miao Fengying was greatly excited upon hearing this. "We should have done this long ago! We must let the Kong family know the truth, because we are the only two families who are victims in this incident. If we don't join forces, when else should we?"
That evening, Han Zongren's side sent people to begin contacting the Kong family. However, their movements were very secretive and cautious, as the consequences of this matter leaking out would be dire.
At the same time, Han Zongren's approach was very clever. They did not directly invite the Kong family to negotiate, but instead adopted a strategy of "sending out a scout to draw the enemy's attention elsewhere."
The Kong family had just returned and were temporarily unaware of many of the events that had transpired in Longcheng. Therefore, an investigation process was naturally needed. Han Zongren and Miao Fengying, the couple, silently cooperated with the Kong family, facilitating whatever they intended to investigate.
In less than three days, the Kong family had obtained a lot of crucial information. When this information was laid out on the table, the Kong family members were stunned by the series of major events that had recently occurred within the Han family. Especially the scandalous incidents involving Han Guangyao and his two daughters-in-law, which drew the most attention and made their jaws drop. Furthermore, the scandal involving the wives of several female executives within Han's Coal Industry left them in shock for a long time.
Kong Shenghua, Kong Shengan, Kong Lingling, and the other members of the Kong family instinctively linked this matter to their father's injury, as it was too significant.
At this moment, Han Zongren's side finally sent a discreet invitation, wanting to meet. The Kong family readily accepted. The two parties eventually met at a secluded club. After settling down and exchanging pleasantries, they got straight to the point.
Han Zongren's side directly stated that a significant portion of the credit for the Kong family's ability to gather so much intelligence in recent days was due to their efforts. They also frankly admitted that Kong Nanchao's injury was indeed related to the scandalous events. Not only did they know the true culprit, but they also understood various other hidden details.
"Who is the culprit?" Upon learning that Han Zongren and his wife knew the true perpetrator, all the members of the Kong family became extremely agitated.
"The culprit who harmed your father is very powerful and holds an extraordinary position. Director Kong, Manager Kong, and everyone else, we need to join forces to have the strength to confront them," Miao Fengying said.
"We are common victims in this incident, and we each have our own objectives. Therefore, joining forces is the most correct approach. What do you think?" Faced with the invitation from Han Zongren's side, the Kong family members exchanged glances. Kong Shenghua nodded and said, "Joining forces is certainly not a problem, but you must present something that convinces us and leaves no room for doubt."
Kong Shenghua's gaze was sharp, exuding a powerful and intimidating aura. Such a person was indeed a high-ranking figure who had been in a position of authority for many years.
"Zongren, and Fengying, we are also old friends, so let's speak frankly. To be honest with you both, our Kong family trusts no one right now."
"Who knows if this is a trap set by your Han family?"
"After all, you were capable of harming a seventy-year-old man, a loyal minister who dedicated his entire life of hard work to your Han family. He is now seriously injured, lying in the hospital, his health declining day by day. How could we not be wary of others?"
Han Zongren and Miao Fengying had no retort to these blunt words, as they were indeed the facts. If it were them, and their own father, who had worked hard in the Han family his entire life, suddenly suffered such a grave injury, they would definitely seek revenge.
"Regarding Uncle Kong's injury, my wife and I are deeply sorry. It is indeed our Han family's responsibility that we did not protect and care for Uncle Kong adequately." Han Zongren stood up and bowed deeply to everyone from the Kong family, showing a very proper attitude. The Kong family members had varied reactions: some were indifferent, some looked on coldly, and most maintained a calm demeanor.
"We invited you all here today precisely to discuss this matter."
"We have some items here that are sufficient to prove that my wife and I are on the same side as you. We have a common enemy." Saying this, Han Zongren took out a file bag from his briefcase and gently pushed it towards the Kong family members...
