"Yan Xi, if you had agreed to me back then, none of this would have happened," Chen Tao said, his eyes glinting with amusement behind his gold-rimmed glasses. He spread his hands and chuckled, "To Wan Yunting, he's just an ant in my eyes. To kill him is as simple as lifting a foot. But now that you're here tonight, I've suddenly changed my mind!"
Facing Chen Tao, who had shed his pretense and was now filled with malevolence, Fang Yan Xi's pretty face tensed, as if she had guessed the madman's intentions.
"You care so much about Wan Yunting, don't you? What if I brought him here and, in front of him, got you into bed and performed for him? Heh heh, I wonder if you've ever imagined that scene?" Chen Tao leered with evil delight.
"You..." Fang Yan Xi's eyes widened, her body trembling slightly. Biting her lip, she angrily retorted, "You're a pervert..."
"Haha, if you hadn't suddenly gone abroad back then, I wouldn't have had to wait until now," Chen Tao laughed wildly, unconcerned by Fang Yan Xi calling him a pervert, for he was one.
"President Chen, why don't you show us something now?" Fang Kangning, standing beside him, also smirked.
Fang Yan Xi's eyes widened at his words, and she glared at Fang Kangning, "Are you even human?"
"Heh heh, cousin, you're so beautiful, even I, your cousin, am tempted," Fang Kangning said with a sly grin. "Since things have come to this, I might as well tell you something else. Grandpa's poisoning? That was me!"
"What, you..." Fang Yan Xi was shocked, unable to believe it. Although she knew Fang Kangning was a drug addict and habitually arrogant, Fang Yan Xi never imagined he would be so insane as to poison his own grandfather. He was truly a beast.
Fang Yan Xi trembled with rage, exclaiming, "How could you do that? That's your grandfather!"
"Nonsense, grandfather!" Fang Kangning's face contorted, "Did he ever treat me like a grandson since I was little? You both came back from abroad, yet he made you president." "And me? He arranged for me to be a marketing manager. Is that fair?"
Fang Yan Xi retorted, "It's because you're incompetent. You can't blame others."
"Damn it, don't talk to me like that old fossil..." Enraged, Fang Kangning moved to slap Fang Yan Xi. Seeing this, Wan Yunting, who was squatting on the container, glared and prepared to descend. However, Chen Tao grabbed Fang Kangning's hand first, "Young Master Fang, don't be angry. If you hurt her, I'll be heartbroken."
Fang Yan Xi's pretty face was cold, and she glared at Chen Tao, "You were the one who gave him the idea, weren't you?"
"As expected of Yan Xi, so clever!" Chen Tao said with a sinister smile. "Originally, I had Young Master Fang poison your grandfather to frame Wan Yunting. But unfortunately, Young Master Fang didn't succeed. However, that's all unimportant now!"
Hearing this, Wan Yunting, squatting on the container, snorted coldly. No wonder Fang Kangning had been pointing the finger at him all afternoon regarding Fang Shoushan's poisoning; it was all Chen Tao's plan. That night, he had advised Fang Kangning and provided 'thallium' to poison Fang Shoushan and frame Wan Yunting, thus allowing Fang Kangning and his father to control the Fang Group and sending Wan Yunting back to prison. But Fang Kangning was too stupid to achieve Chen Tao's desired outcome, yet it didn't matter.
At that moment, the warehouse door opened, and Ah Tai and Ma Xin led a group of people in. Leading them was a middle-aged man in a floral shirt and suit pants. From his appearance, he was a typical Southeast Asian, Kun Xiong, with whom Chen Tao was to conduct business!
"Boss Kun, you're here," Chen Tao turned around. Facing the short, dark-skinned Kun Xiong, who looked ordinary but had sharp, shrewd eyes that exuded ruthlessness, Chen Tao knew he was indeed a Southeast Asian drug lord.
"President Chen, we finally meet," Kun Xiong said in fairly fluent Chinese and shook Chen Tao's hand. He clearly did a lot of business with Chinese people.
"Yes, it's my honor to do business with Boss Kun," Chen Tao said with a forced smile.
"Haha, all thanks to Young Master Leng! Otherwise, we wouldn't have had the chance to cooperate," Kun Xiong chuckled, then looked around. Chen Tao saw through his thoughts, "Don't worry, Boss Kun, this place is very safe."
"That's good. After all, we need to be cautious in our line of business," Kun Xiong laughed.
Standing behind Chen Tao, Fang Yan Xi frowned, looking at Kun Xiong and his men. She didn't know who they were or what business Chen Tao was cooperating with them on. Wan Yunting, squatting on the container, saw that Fang Yan Xi was temporarily out of danger, so he didn't act rashly. Instead, he decided to observe Chen Tao and Kun Xiong's transaction. When Wu Bochao and his main force arrived, he would act together and find a way to save Fang Yan Xi.
"Chen Tao, are you dealing drugs?" Fang Yan Xi guessed something and coldly questioned Chen Tao and Fang Kangning.
"Heh heh, so clever, you figured it out," Chen Tao turned and smiled at her. Seeing his admission, Fang Yan Xi was shocked. So, they were using her company's warehouse tonight for a drug deal!
"President Chen, time is tight, let's start quickly," Kun Xiong didn't know who Fang Yan Xi was, but he didn't care. With a wave of his hand, over a dozen subordinates, each carrying a box, walked up to Chen Tao and his group, lined up, and squatted down, opening the boxes. Inside were neatly packed drugs, the latest new drug developed by the Southeast Asian drug dens, twelve boxes in total, weighing eight hundred catties.
Seeing Kun Xiong's straightforwardness, Chen Tao was no different. Ma Xin took out a laptop, ready to transfer funds to Kun Xiong's overseas account.
"Boss Kun, let's inspect the goods first."
"Of course," Kun Xiong nodded with a smile. Chen Tao gestured to Fang Kangning, who stepped forward, picked up a packet of drugs, opened it, and skillfully snorted a bit with his thumb. Immediately, he threw his head back, his expression incredibly complex. After a slight shiver, he said to Chen Tao with joy, "This new product is highly pure, even more exhilarating than the glass we're currently using!"
This scene caused Fang Yan Xi's pretty face to freeze. Witnessing her cousin Fang Kangning using drugs, she was inwardly shocked.
"Ma Xin, transfer the funds to Boss Kun," Chen Tao was very satisfied. Ma Xin immediately processed the transfer. Kun Xiong was also very happy and extended his hand, "President Chen, this shipment of new goods is just the beginning. The big business comes later. I hope we have a pleasant cooperation."
"Yes, pleasant cooperation," Chen Tao shook his hand. Just then, his phone rang. Taking it out, he saw the incoming number, and his heart skipped a beat. He immediately answered, only to hear an anxious voice on the other end, "President Chen, the police are targeting you tonight. The armed police force is rushing to Longwan Port. Evacuate immediately!"
"What!" Chen Tao's expression changed drastically. Just as he was about to say something, the panicked voice on the other end stopped, and there was silence. Clearly, the police had apprehended his informant!
"Damn it, the police are targeting us tonight. Evacuate immediately!" After hanging up the phone, Chen Tao shouted at Ma Xin and Fang Kangning. Kun Xiong and his men's faces changed drastically. With no time to question, he waved and shouted, "Quickly retreat to the pier and leave by boat..."
"President Chen, what do we do?" Hearing that the police were targeting them tonight, Fang Kangning panicked.
"Go with Boss Kun through the water route." Chen Tao and his group also had boats at the pier tonight, indicating he had prepared an escape route.
"Alright..." Fang Kangning, Ma Xin, and the others followed Kun Xiong's men out. Chen Tao then turned to Fang Yan Xi, "Take them!" Tian Kai and his men stepped forward, preparing to take Fang Yan Xi and Lin Xiao Qi with them...
Suddenly, a figure descended from the sky, landing directly in front of Fang Yan Xi and Lin Xiao Qi. Tian Kai and his men were startled, "Who!" Chen Tao, who was preparing to leave, was stunned, looking at the person who had suddenly appeared, unsure of who he was! At this moment, the sound of police sirens could be heard outside. Wu Bochao and his armed police forces had arrived.
"Police, stop!"
"Bang bang..." The police response was the gunfire from Kun Xiong and his men.
"It's me!" At this moment, Wan Yunting shed his disguise, revealing his true face.
"Wan Yunting!" Seeing him, Chen Tao was greatly alarmed.
