Back at the base in the Jiangnan District, it was exactly one o'clock in the afternoon.
"Boss Wan is back."
Meng Hu, who was accompanying Ling Xian Zong and Li Cong out of the villa, saw Wan Yun Ting return and said, "It's time to go."
"Mm."
Wan Yun Ting responded with a hum, nodded at Ling Xian Zong, who, along with Li Cong, got into one car. Meng Hu also pulled Wan Yun Ting into another, and then the younger brothers all got into their respective cars, escorting Ling Xian Zong's vehicle as it left the base.
"Li Cong, are Li Da Biao and the others ready?"
Ling Xian Zong, sitting in the back and smoking a cigar, asked.
"Yes, they are already on their way to the abandoned car lot in the Longshan District," Li Cong replied.
"Very good."
Ling Xian Zong's eyes were sharp as he said coldly, "If Park Sheng Yuan doesn't release my son, I'll destroy them today!"
Wan Yun Ting, sitting behind Meng Hu, smiled slightly, continuing to play his single-player game on his phone without saying anything…
The journey from Jiangnan District to the abandoned car lot in Longshan District took exactly one hour.
This was an abandoned auto yard, an industry of the White Tiger gang for car modifications.
Park Sheng Yuan, who had arrived earlier, had already arranged for hundreds of his subordinates to be stationed around the periphery of the car yard. If negotiations failed, this would be Ling Xian Zong's burial ground!
"President Park, they've arrived."
At the entrance of the abandoned car lot, a group of subordinates armed with various clubs watched as six cars slowly approached. It was Ling Xian Zong, Wan Yun Ting, and their entourage.
"Let them in."
Inside a modification workshop, Park Sheng Yuan was with another capable subordinate, Che Zai Long, who was the younger brother of Che Zai Yong, the one from before. The brothers were Park Sheng Yuan's left and right hands.
The subordinates at the entrance waved, allowing Ling Xian Zong's convoy to enter…
The abandoned car yard was vast. Groups of subordinates, holding various knives and clubs, looked at Wan Yun Ting's convoy with fervent gazes as they entered and stopped in front of the modification workshop.
Wan Yun Ting and Meng Hu, along with Li Cong and over a dozen younger brothers, alighted first. Ling Xian Zong came down last. He looked into the workshop, where Park Sheng Yuan was sitting on a sofa, eating lunch with Che Zai Long. As he led Wan Yun Ting and Meng Hu inside, they were stopped by Park Sheng Yuan's subordinates, who demanded to search them.
"Let them in."
Park Sheng Yuan called out without looking up.
The subordinates at the door then let Ling Xian Zong's group in. Wan Yun Ting and Meng Hu naturally followed behind, acting as their guarantors.
"Where is my son?"
Ling Xian Zong walked over, standing before Park Sheng Yuan and his group, and asked coldly, "Let me see my son first, or there's nothing to talk about!"
Park Sheng Yuan raised the corner of his mouth, put down his lunchbox, and straightened up. He picked up the tissue paper next to him and elegantly wiped his mouth. As he looked up at Ling Xian Zong, he saw Wan Yun Ting, and Park Sheng Yuan froze, "It's you!"
Facing the surprised Park Sheng Yuan, Wan Yun Ting also smiled at him.
However, Ling Xian Zong, Meng Hu, Li Cong, and the others turned to look at Wan Yun Ting in surprise, asking, "You know each other?"
Wan Yun Ting chuckled, "We just met once at Seoul University earlier."
"Brat, so you're with him. It seems enemies often cross paths."
Park Sheng Yuan's Chinese wasn't very good, but he liked using idioms.
Earlier, in the Seoul University gymnasium, this kid had publicly embarrassed him. Moreover, his student had defeated his daughter. He hadn't settled that score yet.
Ling Xian Zong raised an eyebrow, unsure of the situation between Wan Yun Ting and Park Sheng Yuan. He said, "Park Sheng Yuan, set your grievances aside for now. Quickly hand over my son, I need to see him!"
Park Sheng Yuan finally withdrew his gaze from Wan Yun Ting, glared at Ling Xian Zong, and waved his hand. Instantly, two subordinates dragged out a severely injured young man from behind – it was Ling Yao Yang!
"Son…"
Ling Xian Zong immediately rushed over. Seeing his son covered in injuries, he glared furiously at Park Sheng Yuan, "You son of a bitch, you beat my son like this…"
Lighting a cigar and crossing his legs, Park Sheng Yuan chuckled, "Boss Ling, I'm truly sorry. My subordinates were a bit rough. I hope you can forgive them."
Ling Xian Zong clenched his fists, trembling, and glared fiercely at Park Sheng Yuan, "Park Sheng Yuan, do you really think I, Ling Xian Zong, am easy to bully?"
"Let me tell you, my people are outside. If you dare to have any crooked thoughts, I'll destroy you today!"
"Oh."
Park Sheng Yuan's eyes narrowed. He tilted his head and glanced sideways at Ling Xian Zong, leisurely taking a puff of his cigarette before smiling, "Are you referring to Meng Da Biao!"
At this, Wan Yun Ting, Meng Hu, and the others were stunned. Park Sheng Yuan was too composed.
Just then, outside, Meng Da Biao entered with his men, smiling, "President Park, my apologies, I'm late!"
Ling Xian Zong's eyes widened as he looked at Meng Da Biao. At this moment, he seemed to understand something.
"Boss Ling, don't look at me like that, it's quite scary!"
Meng Da Biao also sat directly next to Park Sheng Yuan, looking at the furious Ling Xian Zong with eyes that seemed about to spew fire, and said with a sinister smile, "The reason I did this is entirely thanks to your son!"
"What the hell do you mean?"
Ling Xian Zong glared, almost roaring. He never expected that Meng Da Biao was playing him.
Meng Da Biao looked at the injured Ling Yao Yang lying nearby and sneered, "This brat you spawned is too arrogant. He dared to extend his reach into my territory and even took my girl. Shouldn't I teach him a lesson?"
Ling Xian Zong's eyes widened. Wan Yun Ting and Meng Hu also turned to look at Ling Yao Yang on the ground, who had now regained consciousness. His eyes glared hatefully at Meng Da Biao, clearly indicating that what the latter said was true.
It turned out that Ling Yao Yang had been a thoroughly arrogant and overbearing scion here. A while ago, he had extended his influence into Meng Da Biao's territory and even picked up Meng Da Biao's girlfriend in a bar, acting extremely audacious.
Therefore, Meng Da Biao was furious. However, he didn't directly confront Ling Yao Yang. Instead, he joined forces with the White Tiger gang and swept through Ling Xian Zong's territory in Jiangnan District in one fell swoop. Simultaneously, he had Park Sheng Yuan kidnap Ling Yao Yang and lure Ling Xian Zong to South Korea.
Meng Da Biao had also calculated that Ling Xian Zong would seek his cooperation to jointly oppose the White Tiger gang, which was why the incident last night happened, with Meng Da Biao extorting a ton of goods from Ling Xian Zong.
Although Ling Xian Zong had only paid him half the goods so far, seeing his frustrated and angry expression, Meng Da Biao felt it was all worth it.
"Ling Xian Zong, you were doing so well domestically, but you had to come to South Korea to compete with us for business. If you had come yourself, we could have cooperated. However, you sent this brat to cause trouble here and disrupt the market. If we don't teach you and your son a lesson, how can that be!" Meng Da Biao said with a malicious smile, looking at Ling Xian Zong with a face full of teasing.
"You…"
Ling Xian Zong pointed at Meng Da Biao, trembling with anger. He never expected that he would be the clown in the end.
This made Meng Hu and Li Cong beside him anxious. It turned out that Meng Da Biao had colluded with Park Sheng Yuan behind this scheme.
"Boss Ling, don't be angry. We haven't even started negotiations yet. Please sit down," Park Sheng Yuan said with a smile, raising his hand.
Wan Yun Ting, standing beside Ling Xian Zong, shook his head and chuckled. The negotiation was more like a unilateral judgment for Ling Xian Zong!
But at this moment, Ling Xian Zong knew that he had no support here. Not only could he not defeat the White Tiger gang now, but he couldn't even defeat Meng Da Biao. What right did he have to negotiate?
"Boss Ling, we're not completely heartless. We'll leave you thirty percent of your territory in Jiangnan District. The rest, hand it all over."
Meng Da Biao and Park Sheng Yuan sat with crossed legs, looking at Ling Xian Zong standing before them with teasing eyes. This was no longer a negotiation but a direct order. They sneered, "Of course, you can refuse. But you won't be leaving this place today!"
These words completely enraged Ling Xian Zong. He looked at Meng Da Biao and Park Sheng Yuan with fury, trembling and shaking uncontrollably. He had been playing with eagles his whole life, only to have an eagle peck out his eye in the end. How could Ling Xian Zong swallow this humiliation? It was too stifling.
Meng Hu and Li Cong behind him quickly pulled Ling Xian Zong, urging him not to act impulsively.
Only Wan Yun Ting beside him remained calm and unperturbed, as if watching a show…
