Chapter 45: The Final Trump Card:
“Yes, sir!”
After responding, several subordinates quickly left. A powerful family like the Zhao family had its own ways of handling dirty work. Destroying a gang was nothing for them.
After a moment of silence, Zhao Shen glanced at Qu Yingmeng.
“You’ve been managing the company for a while and must be tired. Take a good rest from now on. I will take over the company again.”
“Hah!” Qu Yingmeng laughed coldly.
His suggestion for her to rest was just an excuse to regain control of the company.
It was understandable, though.
Zhao Shen had previously delegated authority to cultivate Zhao Haoqian. Now that Zhao Haoqian was disabled, Zhao Shen naturally wanted to reclaim control.
Even though Qu Yingmeng had been in charge for a while, Zhao Shen was still the head of the Zhao family.
Knowing she couldn’t argue, Qu Yingmeng sneered and said, “If you want to manage it, go ahead. I’m heading home. Liuyun, take me home!”
With that, she turned to Ye Liuyun.
“Hm?”
Ye Liuyun was still in a daze and didn’t react immediately.
Zhao Shen had anticipated Qu Yingmeng’s discontent and wasn’t surprised. He calmly addressed Ye Liuyun, “In that case, Liuyun, take Madam home to rest.”
“Uh, okay, Master!”
Ye Liuyun responded and followed Qu Yingmeng out. Zhao Shen watched their backs for a moment before refocusing.
“Tianlang Gang!”
He murmured, clenching his fists tightly.
...
“I won’t let him take back power so easily!”
In front of Ye Liuyun, Qu Yingmeng expressed her thoughts without reservation. She had managed the company for a while and built a foundation. Even if she couldn’t prevent Zhao Shen from reclaiming control, she could still cause him some trouble.
“Don’t worry!”
Ye Liuyun smiled understandingly. This woman was indeed ambitious, but he didn’t mind ambitious women.
“This power will return to you eventually!”
He wasn’t surprised by Zhao Shen’s attempt to regain control.
[Zhao Shen will undoubtedly find out about Long Tian’s involvement!]
[With his son in such a condition, Zhao Shen will certainly go after Long Tian.]
[When that happens, Zhao Shen is likely to encounter trouble too!]
Qu Yingmeng calmed down after hearing his thoughts.
She had almost forgotten about Long Tian’s presence. But could Long Tian, having been tricked so many times, still be a match for Zhao Shen?
As Ye Liuyun steered the car, he pondered while his chin resting on his hand.
[Despite losing much of luck, Long Tian is still the protagonist and has his means!]
[I remember Long Tian has a team of mercenaries reputed to be the best in the world!]
Hearing his thoughts made Qu Yingmeng realize something. Long Tian’s character setup included being the world’s strongest mercenary, with a team of elite mercenaries under his command.
If Long Tian brought his team to the country, taking down Zhao Shen would be easy.
“I understand!”
“Hm?”
Qu Yingmeng’s sudden reaction made Ye Liuyun look at her in confusion.
[Understand? Understand what?]
He was puzzled, but Qu Yingmeng smiled.
“Since you say so, I’ll patiently wait. The Zhao family’s power will ultimately be mine!”
“...”
[Wow, you trust me that much?]
She believed him just like that? It was a bit endearing.
Ye Liuyun chuckled.
“Then wait patiently. I’ll help you!”
Since she was his woman, Ye Liuyun wouldn’t let her struggle alone.
“Mm!”
Qu Yingmeng nodded seriously. She had always plotted everything cautiously by herself. Now, she finally had someone to rely on. This realization made her gaze at Ye Liuyun with even more affection.
“Hiss!”
Ye Liuyun suddenly took a deep breath, noticing something.
Looking down, he saw Qu Yingmeng’s little gesture.
“What are you doing?”
“Just drive.”
Facing Ye Liuyun’s question, Qu Yingmeng simply replied and had no time for more words.
“...”
[Should I focus on driving or ‘driving’?]
...
For some reason, Jiang Cang had a bad feeling since the morning. He wanted to find Long Tian but was told by his subordinates that Long Tian hadn’t returned since the previous night.
“That’s strange!”
He left?
Where could he have gone?
Jiang Cang called over the subordinates who had gone out with Long Tian the previous day.
“Do you remember who the person you beat up yesterday was?”
His question puzzled the subordinates, who shook their heads in confusion.
One of them, recalling the event, said, “I think his surname was Zhao. He only mentioned his surname before Boss Long attacked him, not giving him a chance to speak further. We followed Boss Long’s orders and joined in.”
Beating someone to a pulp was routine for them.
“Surname Zhao?”
Jiang Cang frowned. There was indeed a prominent Zhao family in Hai City, a billionaire family. But...
“Impossible! The boss wouldn’t set me up!”
Jiang Cang believed Long Tian wouldn’t betray him. Besides, Hai City had many people with the surname Zhao; it didn’t have to be someone from the Zhao family.
“I'm probably overthinking!”
He murmured to himself, but his unease grew. His subordinates were puzzled by his behavior.
“Boss! What’s...”
They started to ask but were interrupted.
Bang!
A gunshot rang out.
“What’s going on!”
Jiang Cang’s face changed, pushing aside other thoughts.
“Gather all the brothers!”
“Yes, Boss!”
-To be continued!
