Chapter 355 All to Resign
In the Chen family mansion.
Upon hearing that Li Changsheng and his son were arrested, Zheng Kaiyang's complexion turned pale, and he quickly knelt on the ground, pleading, "Elder, you must save Zicheng. If he really goes to prison, Xu Yang will definitely use his means to cripple him there, and then his life would be over."
It was precisely this point he feared, otherwise, with his financial resources, even if Li Zicheng were to serve a few years in prison, it wouldn't matter much.
After all, as long as there is money, whether one has been to prison or not doesn't make much of a difference; life goes on as usual.
But in prison, no one knows what might happen.
With Xu Yang's influence, if he wants to harm Li Zicheng, even cripple him, it's definitely possible.
"They've already been taken away by the police, there's nothing that can be done," the elder Chen sighed.
"No, Elder, I know you have a way, please save Zicheng!" Zheng Kaiyang begged once more.
"To save Li Zicheng, we can only start with Xu Yang. As long as he doesn't pursue Zicheng's responsibility, then there would be no issue. I'll go talk to him again," the elder said.
After finishing speaking, Elder Chen took up his mobile phone and dialed Xu Yang's number.
The call connected quickly.
Xu Yang's voice immediately came from the phone, "Elder Chen, thank you for showing me the way, otherwise I still wouldn't have known the hiding place of Li Changsheng and his son."
Elder Chen's complexion changed, "Are you saying that me sending the intermediary to find Li Changsheng and his son was your doing, and that you actually couldn't locate their position using the Skynet System?!"
Xu Yang chuckled, "That's right, the Skynet System isn't so easy to breach, not to mention, even if one could get in, they couldn't search the whole city so quickly."
He had already been cooperating with the police, which was akin to indirectly using the Skynet System.
But to find someone through the Skynet System so quickly was impossible.
"So that's how it is," Elder Chen suddenly understood, feeling somewhat annoyed.
They had gone up against Xu Yang in so many rounds, and in every round, Xu Yang emerged completely victorious. Continue reading on empire
This time was no exception, and they even ended up having their people captured.
This time, Elder Chen truly realized how fearsome Xu Yang was.
He took a deep breath and said, "Xu Yang, let's make a deal."
Xu Yang asked with a laugh, "The person has already been captured by the police, what is there to negotiate?"
Elder Chen said, "I still hope that you will not pursue Zicheng's responsibility."
Xu Yang sneered, "Do you think that's possible?"
Elder Chen said, "Nothing's impossible. In this world, there's no problem that money can't solve. If it can't be solved, it just means the money isn't enough. Name your price, I'll satisfy you."
Xu Yang replied coldly, "Sorry, I'm not short of money."
Elder Chen still didn't give up, "Xu Yang, you are rich, a billionaire, but no one would ever think they have too much money. I am very sincere. Just name your price, I will satisfy you, and you won't pursue Zicheng's responsibility anymore. Everyone will be happy then."
Xu Yang fell silent for a moment, then said, "As long as I name the price, you can really satisfy me?"
A smile crept onto Elder Chen's lips.
Indeed, there was no problem that money couldn't solve; if it couldn't be solved, it just means the money wasn't enough.
So he said with a smile, "Yes, go ahead."
"Okay, then give me fifty billion," Xu Yang stated a number.
"How much did you say?" Chen's patriarch doubted his hearing.
"Five hundred billion, what about it?" Xu Yang said.
"Xu Yang, are you joking? You know what five hundred billion means. All of our people combined can't come up with that sum," Chen's patriarch's face soured.
"Chen's patriarch, look at you. You were the one who asked me to name a price. Now that I have, you say I'm joking. I've considered this number very seriously; there's no joke intended. Didn't you say you would satisfy my demands?" Xu Yang said earnestly.
"I..." Chen's patriarch's face turned red, and he opened his mouth only to find he had no rebuttal.
He understood that Xu Yang was playing him.
"Xu Yang, do you really not want to let Li Zicheng off the hook?" Chen's patriarch asked in a grave voice.
"Old man Chen, are you getting senile? After fighting each other up to this point, and you still ask such a question. Let me tell you, not only will I not let Li Zicheng off, but you and your crew won't be spared either. Just wait and see."
After finishing, Xu Yang hung up the call.
Chen's patriarch put down the phone: "Xu Yang disagrees."
Zheng Kaiyang's face turned pale: "What do we do then? Zicheng is arrested; he's sure to be ruined."
Chen's patriarch said helplessly: "We've lost all our connections in this area; there's nothing we can do."
He also wanted Zheng Kaiyang's money, but he was powerless.
Zheng Kaiyang's face grew paler, and he clenched his teeth: "Patriarch, if that's the case, I demand you take Xu Yang down. As long as you bring him down, I will still give you the money."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Chen's patriarch's eyes lit up, ready to respond.
At that moment, Peng Liangce's phone rang.
Seeing the caller ID, it was the subordinate who had taken off with Li Changsheng and his son in the car and hidden in the noodle shop. Peng Liangce felt a spark of anger.
He blamed this guy for Li Changsheng and his son getting caught.
So, he answered the call cursing: "What the hell are you calling me for? They captured the guys, and you still have the face to call me. When the police arrived, didn't you think to stop them? If you'd stopped them, the agents would have arrived. With so many agents there, even the police couldn't have taken them away. You're just a good-for-nothing, bloody…"
Before he could finish, the subordinate interrupted with a cold shout: "Peng Liangce, that's enough!"
Peng Liangce was stunned, then cursed more angrily: "What the fuck, I'm your boss, and you dare to shout at me? Do you not want to work here anymore?"
The subordinate sneered: "Right, I don't want to work here anymore. I'm calling to resign."
"You said what!" Peng Liangce could hardly believe his ears, "You mess up the job terribly, and before I could fire you, you dare to resign on me? Who gave you the guts?"
The subordinate sneered: "Can't I give myself the courage?"
Peng Liangce laughed in fury: "Alright, alright, if you resign, I'll save on the severance pay. Get lost. I can hire as many people like you as I want!"
Just as he was about to hang up, the subordinate added: "Oh, by the way, in addition to myself, the other three vice presidents of the company are also resigning. They told me to pass the message that they won't call you themselves."
"What!" Peng Liangce exclaimed, "They want to resign too? What's going on? Why are they resigning?"
There were four vice presidents in their company, each responsible for different departments.
Now, with all four resigning, the company's upper management would be empty.
This was a disaster waiting to happen.
What the hell was going on? Why was everyone resigning?
