The rage that was stuck in his throat made him neither able to sit nor stand.
His confidant standing nearby was not blind.
But even if he saw it, he dared not casually step forward to speak.
Tang Shengtang was currently like a gas tank about to explode.
With the slightest carelessness, innocent bystanders would be affected. The confidant did not have that kind of courage. Right now, he was racking his brains, trying to find a way to escape from this situation.
But before he could figure out a method.
A cold yet incredibly chilling voice suddenly pierced his ears.
Hearing this, the confidant was instantly stunned.
"This, this!" His tongue tied itself into knots, becoming sluggish.
"What are you trembling for?" Seeing his confidant's pathetic display, Tang Shengtang became angry.
"What? You don't even have this much courage?"
Tang Shengtang had no other intention; he merely wanted to take his subordinate to find the person above him.
To explain the whole story.
Although he couldn't deal with Lü Feng, Tang Shengtang couldn't just let it go.
Even though the Zhouge Group would soon face a capital crunch.
But Lü Feng's meddling.
Objectively speaking, it saved the group, but Tang Shengtang did not thank Lü Feng.
If it weren't for this person, his plan would have been completed long ago.
How could there be all these messy trivial matters?
Moreover, in the future, without these projects he was so proud of, how would his group continue to operate?
The more Tang Shengtang thought about it, the angrier he became, and the more he wanted to tell the person above about this matter.
Whether the person above could forgive him was another matter, but at least, the person above should not allow Lü Feng and the Lin family to continue to be so reckless.
To the extent that, at this moment, Tang Shengtang briefly explained his thoughts.
Although he understood the whole story, the confidant's heart was still filled with unease.
He worried about being dragged into this murky water and unable to extricate himself.
The confidant said with a trembling voice, "Director Tang, why don't we find someone else for this matter?"
Hearing this, Tang Shengtang was about to slap the man. Right now, he didn't want this news to be known by more people.
Tang Shengtang spoke fiercely.
"If you don't go, you'll never set foot in my Zhouge Mountain Villa again."
After delivering this harsh threat, the man had no choice but to reluctantly agree. Not long after, a car quietly drove out of Zhouge Mountain Villa.
The car circled on the main road outside the villa for a long time before heading directly towards a very unfamiliar direction.
In the underground parking lot of the Twin Towers in Southeast City, a location that, while not as bustling as the city center, was still considered a commercial hub.
Tang Shengtang, with his confidant, got out of the car and slowly walked to the elevator below, then skillfully pressed the button for the 29th floor.
From the elevator exit, the two were quickly stopped by two security guards.
Glancing at the two people in front of him, Tang Shengtang said in a low voice, "I want to see your Director Yun."
This was Director Yun's secret office.
With these words.
Knowing that Tang Shengtang clearly wasn't here for the first time, the security guard naturally dared not be negligent and quickly nodded slightly.
Immediately, another person went to report. Not long after, that person returned and whispered to Tang Shengtang, "Please, our Director Yun says he wants to see you."
Led by that person, Tang Shengtang quickly arrived at a magnificent office at the end of the corridor. In the office, a person stood with their back to the door, unmoving.
"The person is here!"
Tang Shengtang and his confidant entered the room. The door behind them closed as the person who led them out departed.
The air gradually became heavy.
Tang Shengtang felt uncomfortable all over.
He knew exactly what he had done.
Although the Director Yun opposite him said nothing, Tang Shengtang couldn't just stand there waiting indefinitely.
After all, he came here, partly to confess his fault, and partly to ask someone for a favor.
It was unreasonable for the person seeking help to keep the other party waiting.
Thus, Tang Shengtang couldn't help but speak.
"Director Yun!"
As he spoke, Tang Shengtang tried to approach with an extremely unnatural smile on his face.
But the person still said nothing.
Seeing this, Tang Shengtang could only continue to speak awkwardly.
"Director Yun, regarding the mishap that occurred with the Zhouge Group this time, I, Tang Shengtang, take full responsibility. It was my carelessness that allowed someone to exploit a loophole."
"Director Yun, this is all my fault. Director Yun, please don't be angry."
"Director Yun, don't worry, once I find a solution, I will definitely fight the Lin family to the death!"
He said this several times.
Tang Shengtang did not stop, but before he could continue, the person who was originally facing away from him suddenly turned around.
This person had a kind and benevolent face.
However, his words were far from polite.
"You, thinking of fighting the Lin family to the death? You don't have many cards left in your hand. Can you win?"
His words were spot on, leaving Tang Shengtang speechless. However, at this moment, he did not feel displeased; instead, he felt relieved.
Because at least this person spoke, and speaking meant he had a chance to continue the conversation. Otherwise, if he kept letting him talk, he would eventually stop, and Tang Shengtang would only fall into a more awkward situation.
Tang Shengtang nodded and said, "You are right. Since you already know, I won't say much more. This matter, I indeed..."
In the Zhouge Group, and in front of the Lin family, Tang Shengtang acted like a master, but now, in front of the person above him, he was like a jester trying to please his master.
Director Yun did not wait for Tang Shengtang to finish.
"Tang Shengtang, what can I say about you?" This person now pointed his finger at Tang Shengtang, appearing to be disappointed in his inability to live up to expectations.
When Director Yun assigned this matter to Tang Shengtang, he was certain that Tang Shengtang would be able to show his prowess this time.
Even just a few days ago, he thought Tang Shengtang had earned him a great merit, but he never expected things to turn out this way.
"I always said that details determine success or failure, but you just wouldn't listen!"
Now that the matter was done, Tang Shengtang could only nod repeatedly, constantly agreeing.
After venting his anger, the person called Director Yun finally calmed down and then asked.
"By the way, Tang Shengtang, why did you come to see me today? It wasn't just to say these meaningless words, was it?"
The person called Director Yun was still seething with anger, and at this moment, the last person he wanted to see was Tang Shengtang.
Seeing that the opportunity had arrived, Tang Shengtang's eyes flickered. At the same time, he immediately steered the conversation, "Director Yun, although I, Tang Shengtang, may not be quick-witted, I know what is important and urgent. I am not only here to talk about this today, but more importantly, to volunteer myself to deal with someone."
"Who?"
"Lü Feng. It is this person who caused our plan to collapse. As long as this person is in Southeast City, I, Tang Shengtang, will not be able to sleep soundly."
"Him, is that so?"
Director Yun's brows immediately furrowed.
He knew this person.
Before he handed this matter over to Tang Shengtang, someone had told him to eliminate this kid, otherwise, this kid would surely become a stumbling block in suppressing the Lin family in the future, and he had always planned to put this kid to death.
Originally, he had arranged it this way.
While Tang Shengtang was dealing with the Lin family, he would take care of this kid.
In his opinion, Lü Feng was just a dark horse, and it wouldn't take much effort to deal with him. However, it now seemed that he had clearly underestimated this kid.
