"What? You mean your idea of 'handling it' was to find someone to kidnap Gong Chengbin?"
"And the person you hired failed and was caught by him?"
"You are useless! How can I have such a worthless son!"
Gong Weiguang exploded with rage after hearing what his son, Gong Xiaoqiang, had to say.
Originally, according to Gong Xiaoqiang's plan, he wanted Brother Qiu to bring his men to capture Gong Chengbin and then extort a large sum of money from his father to deal with the company's financial difficulties.
Although he knew that such an action was illegal, he felt that Gong Chengbin deserved it, for refusing him time and time again.
However, Gong Xiaoqiang never dreamed that Brother Qiu and his subordinates, who were usually feared and ruthless, would be subdued by the man beside Gong Chengbin in just a few minutes.
Seeing Brother Qiu's men defeated, Gong Xiaoqiang immediately sobered up and rushed home to confess everything to his father.
"Second Brother! Are you crazy? You actually hired people to kidnap Gong Chengbin? If you want to die, don't drag us down with you."
"If it weren't for you before, our plan would have succeeded. Now that you've failed, they must hate our entire family."
"Alas, Second Brother, you are truly a failure!"
After Gong Weiguang finished speaking, his other children standing beside him chimed in.
Gong Xiaoqiang, who had been looking down without speaking, suddenly lifted his head.
He stared at his siblings with a fierce gaze and roared, "Damn it! You guys just love to kick someone when they're down. When things were good, you all called me 'Second Brother' this and 'Second Brother' that, but now that there's trouble, you're all pushing it onto me. If it weren't to help the company get through this difficult time, would I have done something like this? Damn it, you bunch of..."
"Stop!"
Gong Xiaoqiang's roar was interrupted by Gong Weiguang.
Looking at Gong Xiaoqiang, who had made a mistake and showed no remorse, Gong Weiguang truly wanted to slap him.
However, in the next moment, he sighed deeply, waved his hand, and dismissed everyone, feeling utterly exhausted and in need of rest.
...
"Are you really going to let this go?"
To think that Brother Qiu was hired by Gong Chengbin's relative, Gong Xiaoqiang, to kidnap him. This guy was truly insane.
After hearing his confession, Du Fei couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
But what surprised Du Fei even more was Gong Chengbin's decision that followed.
Gong Chengbin actually stated that he did not wish to pursue the matter.
Initially, upon learning that Brother Qiu was hired by Gong Xiaoqiang to kidnap him, Gong Chengbin was indeed very angry and wanted the perpetrator to be punished.
However, after calming down and thinking about it, he reasoned that the other party might have acted out of desperation due to the company's issues. Moreover, with Du Fei present, he himself had not suffered any harm.
For his father's sake, he would let it slide this time.
However, from this day forward, this family would no longer be his relatives.
Du Fei nodded slightly after hearing Gong Chengbin's words.
After all, this was Gong Chengbin's matter, and as long as he made his own decision, that was all that mattered.
After letting Brother Qiu and his men go, Du Fei and Gong Chengbin returned to the hotel.
Ring ring.
Ring ring.
As soon as Du Fei returned to his room, his phone rang.
Picking up the phone and seeing the incoming number, Du Fei was a little surprised.
"Brother Xiong, is there something you need?"
The person calling him was Shen Xiong.
Although Shen Xiong had come to Chuncheng on the same flight as Du Fei, they had only exchanged a few words when they met in the waiting lounge.
What did Shen Xiong want to call him for?
"You need my help? Alright, I said before that I owe you a favor. Now that you need help, I naturally won't refuse. Okay, tomorrow morning at nine o'clock, we'll meet on time."
Shen Xiong on the other end of the line said that he was attending a banquet and might encounter some trouble, and asked if Du Fei could accompany him so that he would feel more confident.
Du Fei immediately agreed.
After all, Shen Xiong had provided the information that led him to Gong Chengbin's father.
And later, when Du Fei came down from Xiaoliangshan and called him, Shen Xiong had driven for several hours to pick him up and arrange accommodation for him without asking any questions.
Du Fei was grateful to Shen Xiong.
Since Shen Xiong needed his help now, Du Fei naturally wouldn't refuse.
On the other side, after finishing the call with Du Fei and receiving his agreement, Shen Xiong breathed a sigh of relief.
"Boss, is Du Fei really that powerful? You've been worried about the Hu Po matter for the past two days, but now you look so relaxed?"
Zhao Tao, sitting beside Shen Xiong and noticing his relaxed demeanor, couldn't help but ask.
Although Shen Xiong had mentioned before that Du Fei was very capable, in his opinion, he was at most just a good fighter.
What was the point of Du Fei being a good fighter?
Hu Po was a super boss in Dian Province, with more subordinates than Du Fei could drown with spit.
"Ah Tao, you'll know tomorrow. With Du Fei there, it's enough to be worth a thousand soldiers. No matter how powerful Hu Po is, hehe..."
Shen Xiong chuckled, revealing a smile that Zhao Tao couldn't understand.
Then, he said he was a little tired and intended to rest.
As soon as Shen Xiong left, Zhao Tao wanted to pull Sun Cheng to ask for more details.
But the latter completely ignored him and simply collapsed onto the bed.
Seeing that there was no one to ask, Zhao Tao, despite having a head full of questions, could only return to his own bed, planning to ask after waking up.
...
"Boss Shen, the car is here. Please."
The next morning, Hu Po's subordinate knocked on the door and politely said to Shen Xiong and the other two.
Shen Xiong looked up, checked the time on his watch, and then looked at his phone again.
"I have a friend coming, so we'll have to wait."
Hearing that Shen Xiong wasn't leaving yet, the person who had spoken politely earlier immediately changed his expression. He said coldly, "Boss Shen, we are also acting under orders. We hope you won't make things difficult for us. Our boss has given us orders that everyone must be at the scene by nine o'clock!"
This time, before Shen Xiong could speak, Zhao Tao, who had been holding back, jumped up and cursed at the man, "Damn it! Are you deaf? Our boss said to wait, what are you in a hurry for? So what if your boss gave an order? Do we have to listen to him? What are you looking at? You want to hit me?"
Zhao Tao's words made the speaker's face turn very ugly.
His hand moved to the walkie-talkie on his waist, preparing to call for reinforcements.
Just then, footsteps were heard from outside the door.
"What are you doing! Stop! This place has been booked."
"I'm Shen Xiong's friend. Just go in and tell him."
The voice from outside reached the room, and Shen Xiong, who was sitting in his chair, smiled.
He then stood up abruptly, patted Zhao Tao on the shoulder, and said to the person who had spoken earlier, "My friend is here. We can go now."
Since Shen Xiong had agreed to leave, he naturally didn't want any more trouble.
However, as Zhao Tao walked past him, his eyes fixed on his back with a grim gaze.
