"Boss, we found them. All the people from the Gao Li chaebol are staying in a private club. What's more, they've bought the entire place and are planning to turn it into their stronghold!"
"I've already sent the address to your phone!"
Liu Hui said into the phone.
"Mm!"
Lu Yang nodded, glanced at the address, and headed straight there.
It was almost noon. Lu Yang didn't go directly to the club. Instead, he found a place, ate a bowl of noodles, and waited for someone from the club to come out. He then apprehended a captive.
"Tell me, where is Tang Shimin being held?"
Lu Yang growled coldly, gripping the man's neck.
"Siba, Anli Road..."
To his surprise, the man spouted a string of gibberish that Lu Yang couldn't understand. He could only knock the man unconscious with a slap.
"It seems I need a translator!"
Lu Yang pondered. He recalled that his secretary, Bai Shumin, knew three languages, one of which was Korean. So, Lu Yang directly called Bai Shumin and asked her to come over.
"Vice President Lu, are you planning to have a date with me here? Isn't this a bit too shabby?"
Bai Shumin asked with a smile when she saw it was just an ordinary noodle shop.
"Date what? Tang Shimin was captured and brought here. I don't understand Korean, so I called you to be my translator. Let's go inside!"
Lu Yang pointed to the club opposite them and said with a smile.
"Korean? You mean the Gao Li chaebol?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Shumin's expression changed instantly. She had studied in Korea for a year and knew a lot about the Gao Li chaebol. The Gao Li chaebol was one of the top three chaebols in Korea, with trillions of assets, controlling one-third of Korea's wealth. Its companies operated worldwide, making it truly powerful and wealthy.
Bai Shumin knew about the Gao Li chaebol's entry into Jiangbei City, but she had no idea of their intentions. Now that Lu Yang had called her, and he was about to go to war with the Gao Li chaebol, it made Bai Shumin break out in a cold sweat.
"That's right, it's the Gao Li chaebol!"
Lu Yang confirmed.
"Vice President Lu, do you know how terrifying the Gao Li chaebol is? They are true giants, with trillions in assets. Even the combined wealth of the entire Jiangbei City is no match for the Gao Li chaebol. The Haitong Group has just recovered its strength. If it clashes with the Gao Li chaebol, it might fall into an abyss of eternal damnation!"
Bai Shumin quickly advised Lu Yang.
"Terrifying? Isn't it just a chaebol? Do they think they're great just because they have money? In China, it's not about who has more money. As long as they violate China's laws, no amount of money can save their lives!"
Lu Yang sneered and continued, "If Tang Shimin is harmed in any way, I will hold the entire Gao Li chaebol accountable!"
"This... alright!"
Bai Shumin sighed helplessly. She knew Lu Yang's temperament; he was stubborn and unreasonable. She could only follow Lu Yang towards the private club.
"Who's there?"
As they reached the entrance, two Korean men blocked Lu Yang and Bai Shumin.
"We're here to see Mr. Han from the Gao Li chaebol!"
Bai Shumin immediately spoke to them in Korean.
"Is Mr. Han someone you can just meet? You need an appointment from Mr. Han to enter!"
One of the Korean men shouted again.
"Vice President Lu, they're saying we need an appointment to get in!"
Bai Shumin turned to Lu Yang and said.
"An appointment?"
Lu Yang sneered and directly kicked the Korean man in the abdomen, sending him flying back several meters.
"Is this appointment enough?"
Lu Yang asked coldly.
"Gaege jjalh-i!"
"Jojeg-eola!"
Another Korean man immediately roared. In an instant, over a dozen Korean men in black suits surrounded Lu Yang. Each of them held a wooden stick, looking fierce and menacing.
"What did he say?"
Lu Yang asked Bai Shumin.
"He said we're mongrels and that we're asking for death!"
Bai Shumin translated helplessly.
"What? Damn it! How dare they speak to us like this in China? Then don't blame me for being impolite!"
Lu Yang said coldly, then attacked. One punch per person, he knocked all of them to the ground.
"Can we go in now?"
Lu Yang asked the Korean man who had just cursed him coldly.
The Korean man's face was filled with extreme fear. These men were all strong fighters, each capable of taking on five or six ordinary people. Yet, in Lu Yang's hands, they were like children playing, unable to even counterattack, and were all knocked to the ground.
"He's so scared he can't speak. Let's just go in!"
Seeing that the Korean man remained silent, Bai Shumin said to Lu Yang.
"Mm!"
Lu Yang nodded and followed Bai Shumin into the club.
Meanwhile, in a luxurious private room, Tang Shimin was thrown onto a bed, wearing only thin clothes. Four or five burly men stood by the bed, constantly watching Tang Shimin as if hounds watching meat in their mouths.
Soon, a man walked in.
The person who entered was Han Li'en, the young master of the Gao Li chaebol.
Han Li'en had suffered a loss at Lu Yang's hands in the mall previously and had been harboring resentment. He had come to Jiangbei City this time to seek revenge on Lu Yang, but he hadn't found Lu Yang and had instead captured Tang Shimin.
"Chinese women are indeed like blooming lotuses, three parts more beautiful and three parts more charming than our Korean women. But it's a pity. If your husband cannot kneel before me and beg for forgiveness today, these men will be your nightmare, and then you will properly enjoy the virility of Korean men!"
Han Li'en said with a cold smile to Tang Shimin.
"If you have the guts, kill me!"
Tang Shimin's eyes were filled with ice, and she stared at Han Li'en, roaring.
"Kill you? How could I bear to kill such a beautiful woman? If I hadn't been feeling unwell these past few days, I would have personally tasted you!"
Han Li'en continued.
"Young Master Han, we have been waiting for a long time. With just one command from you, this woman will not live to see tomorrow!"
One of the rough, burly men said to Han Li'en, his mouth watering.
"Don't be in a hurry. Give him one more day. If that dog doesn't come, this woman will be yours!"
Han Li'en continued.
"Beasts! Lu Yang will definitely not let you go!"
Hearing this, Tang Shimin immediately shouted.
