"Uncle Shen, you want me to help you get promoted, don't you?"
Lu Yang, being incredibly smart, naturally saw through Shen Ronghua's intentions. He indeed wanted to become the president of the Hongmen Yan Jing branch.
"Haha, my son-in-law is so clever, he understands immediately!"
Shen Ronghua laughed heartily and said.
"I can help with this, but I will have Liu Hui assist you!"
Lu Yang said indifferently.
"Liu Hui?"
Upon hearing the name, Shen Ronghua instinctively glanced at Liu Hui. He saw Liu Hui walk directly in front of Lu Yang and respectfully call out, "Boss!"
"Boss?"
"You are Liu Hui's boss?"
Hearing this, Shen Ronghua's eyes widened again. He hadn't expected Lu Yang to have such another identity. If that was the case, the true master of the Hongmen Jiang Province branch should be Lu Yang, not Liu Hui.
"That's right, Lu Yang is my boss. The entire Jiang Province branch belongs to the boss!"
Liu Hui looked at Shen Ronghua and said directly.
"My goodness, what a great son-in-law, you are truly amazing. You have so many identities! I feel so insignificant in front of you. I've lived my life in vain all these years. I never expected you to be so capable at such a young age. Truly, there are talented people emerging in every generation, each shining for centuries!"
Shen Ronghua couldn't help but exclaim.
At this moment, Huang Hei Niu also walked out. Seeing the entire venue in such a dilapidated state, he immediately roared coldly, "Who did this? How dare they mess up my territory like this!"
"It was this kid!"
Hu Junjie saw that Huang Hei Niu was followed by more than a dozen thugs and immediately shouted.
Huang Hei Niu glanced at Hu Junjie, then looked in the direction Hu Junjie was pointing. He was taken aback, then trotted up to Lu Yang and respectfully called out, "Director Lu, why didn't you give me advance notice that you were coming? I could have personally welcomed you!"
With Huang Hei Niu's shout, Hu Junjie wished he could die. He never dreamed in his nightmares that Lu Yang had connections everywhere in Jiang Bei City, and that these people would show so much respect to Lu Yang, acting like his grandchildren.
"I was just attending a banquet, there was no need to alarm you!"
Lu Yang said indifferently.
"Kid, did you do this? All the losses here add up to ten million. Pay up immediately, or you won't leave this place alive today."
Huang Hei Niu's gaze fell on Hu Junjie, and he roared coldly.
"What?"
"Are you extorting me? Believe it or not, I can have you arrested with one phone call?"
Hu Junjie shouted loudly upon hearing Huang Hei Niu's words.
"Extortion? You should ask around about my reputation in Jiang Bei City. Hurry up and pay, or my men will get rough with you!"
After Huang Hei Niu finished speaking, more than a dozen thugs stepped forward and surrounded Hu Junjie.
"I'll pay, I'll pay!"
Hu Junjie was terrified by the scene. Although he had some martial arts skills, his aptitude was poor, and he couldn't endure hardship. He had only learned the superficial aspects. Usually, he could handle two or three ordinary people, but facing so many thugs, he was no match for them.
Soon, Hu Junjie transferred ten million to Huang Hei Niu, who then let Hu Junjie go with satisfaction.
"Boss, you haven't had dinner yet, have you? I've arranged a private room. Let's go!"
Huang Hei Niu looked at Lu Yang and said with a smile.
"Mm, I'm tired from fighting and a bit hungry. Let's go eat."
Lu Yang nodded, and then led Shen Yiman and Shen Ronghua directly towards the private room.
As for Tang Shimin, he knew Li Xiumei was there, so he didn't bother with Tang Shimin anymore.
At this moment, Tang Shimin was mixed in the crowd. Seeing Lu Yang's methods just now, her face turned pale with fright. But this also strengthened Tang Shimin's resolve to win Lu Yang back. Only with Lu Yang by her side would she feel at ease and secure.
"Shen Yiman, you wait. I will definitely destroy you!"
Tang Shimin clenched her fists and said coldly.
The next day, after Lu Yang used some money, the stock of Haitong Group returned to normal. Xiao Wuji also took out all his money. However, he only withdrew sixty billion. The initial thirty billion had recovered one hundred and sixty billion, a loss of one hundred and forty billion. This was incredibly painful for Xiao Wuji.
However, Xiao Wuji's actual loss was only forty billion. The rest were losses incurred by the wealthy individuals of Jiang Bei City, including the Bai family.
"Young Master Xiao, can you give me some? Even thirty billion would be enough. Our Bai family lost a hundred billion this time, and my father will definitely beat me to death when I go back!"
Bai Hao said to Xiao Wuji with a crestfallen face.
"Not a penny!"
Xiao Wuji roared coldly.
"I lost forty billion this time. I don't even know how to explain it to the Xiao family. You still dare to ask me for money? Believe it or not, I'll make you disappear with a single word!"
Xiao Wuji looked at Bai Hao with a chilling expression.
"But Young Master Xiao, we all supported you and gave you our money. Now that you're not giving us a single penny, isn't that unfair?"
Not only Bai Hao, but many other wealthy individuals from Jiang Bei City were also waiting at Xiao Wuji's hotel, hoping to get some money back. They had all believed in Xiao Wuji's ability and thought he could definitely bring down Haitong Group and share in the profits. They never expected Xiao Wuji to be brought down by Haitong Group. This was a huge blow to them. The wealthy individuals of Jiang Bei City had pooled a hundred billion, and now it was all gone. This was a massive loss for Jiang Bei City as a whole.
"Yes, Young Master Xiao. Logically, the remaining money should be divided according to our shares, not taken by you alone, especially since it's not a small amount, more than sixty billion!"
"Exactly, I don't think Young Master Xiao has the right to take all this money. It doesn't belong to you alone, but to all of us!"
"..."
The other wealthy individuals also said with dissatisfaction.
"That's because you wanted to get dividends from Haitong Group. You should have known from the beginning that investment carries risks. This is called 'serves you right'!"
Xiao Wuji showed no mercy to these wealthy individuals and directly scolded them.
"Young Master Xiao, since you're saying that, don't blame us for not being polite. If you don't distribute the money according to shares today, you won't be able to leave this hotel!"
The wealthy individuals of Jiang Bei City had invested their life savings with Xiao Wuji. Now that Xiao Wuji had squandered it all, they would naturally not let it go.
"What? You're planning to fight me?"
"Don't you even look at yourselves? I am the young master of the Xiao family in Yan Jing. If you anger me, I will make you disappear from Jiang Bei City!"
Xiao Wuji looked at the wealthy individuals in front of him and roared furiously.
"We have investigated thoroughly. You are only the third young master of the Xiao family in Yan Jing. There are two above you who are the true young masters of the Xiao family. Xiao Wuji, don't think you're so great. You owe us money, and you must return it!"
"Exactly, we are not pushovers either. This is Jiang Bei, not Yan Jing!"
"Return our money!"
"..."
The wealthy individuals of Jiang Bei City now had no reservations. They were not intimidated by Xiao Wuji's status. On the contrary, they completely disregarded Xiao Wuji and had already sealed the doors of Xiao Wuji's hotel. As long as Xiao Wuji didn't return the money, they would not let him leave.
