"Come, General Manager Liu, let's toast you..."
Inside the workshop factory, fifteen men were seen wearing various types of clothing. Several had dyed their hair red, white, and green, with tattoos on their arms and necks, looking like underworld thugs. Each held a bottle of wine and sat around a table pieced together from wooden planks. On the table were the takeout dishes packed by Liu Yongfeng from Juyajing. Beside them, a black plastic bag contained as much as 300,000 yuan in cash, making the fifteen men's eyes gleam with excitement.
At this moment, Liu Yongfeng displayed the demeanor of a general manager, standing tall and proud. He also held a bottle of beer and smiled at the fifteen workers, "Come, let's all finish this bottle of beer together. After I distribute your wages, I'll give you three days off. When another business opportunity arrives, I'll let you all come back to work."
"Okay, we'll toast General Manager Liu..."
The fifteen young men were excited. They clinked their beer bottles with Liu Yongfeng's and began to drink directly from the bottles. They all finished one bottle, but Liu Yongfeng did not finish his. He began to pull over the bag with 300,000 yuan in cash, took out two stacks, one of ten thousand, and started distributing it to the fifteen people. As he did so, he said, "Ten thousand yuan each. Take the money and have fun. Later, we will destroy the products."
"Thank you, General Manager Liu..."
The young men who received the money were overjoyed. One of them asked, "General Manager Liu, destroy everything?"
"Yes," Liu Yongfeng nodded and said, "The matter is over, and everything must be destroyed. Not a single trace should be left."
"Understood."
The young man with dyed yellow hair and tattoos on his arm, named Li Xinghao, was clearly the person in charge of the small workshop and Liu Yongfeng's capable subordinate. This time, he received thirty thousand yuan and immediately said excitedly, "Brothers, later we'll go in and destroy all the products."
"Alright..."
All the young men who had received money were excited. Liu Yongfeng picked up his beer bottle and laughed, "Come, drink..."
"To General Manager Liu..."
The group raised their beer bottles, their faces full of flattering expressions, all saying nice things to butter up Liu Yongfeng, which he greatly enjoyed.
However, in the adjacent production workshop, there was a ventilation window at the back. Shi Qiang poked his head out. He carefully observed that there was no one in the empty workshop. He then came down and said to Fang Yanxi, "General Manager Fang, how about I go in alone to take pictures?"
But Fang Yanxi shook her head, "I'll go in. You help me."
"Alright."
With no other choice, Shi Qiang held Fang Yanxi's arm and with difficulty helped her climb over the high window. The two successfully entered the workshop. Fang Yanxi immediately surveyed the equipment in the workshop, the simple environment, and a few machines for producing face masks. These were all purchased by Liu Yongfeng previously.
It was clear that this was not the first time he had produced counterfeit Yan Ting beauty mask products. He had previously counterfeited products that sold very well in the market, countless times.
Without a word, Fang Yanxi took out her phone and began to photograph the machines in the workshop. Shi Qiang had already reached the workshop entrance, observing Liu Yongfeng and his fifteen people across the way. He confirmed that everyone in the workshop was over there drinking. Shi Qiang turned back and quietly said to Fang Yanxi, "General Manager Fang, hurry up."
"Okay."
Fang Yanxi turned and gave a sound of acknowledgment, then began to sift through the produced inferior face masks. She finally found the packaged masks that were counterfeited from Yan Ting Beauty Company, with identical packaging bags. This made Fang Yanxi happy, and she took out her phone and took numerous pictures.
"Alright, Xinghao, you take everyone to destroy the products. I'll take everyone back to the city to have some fun," Liu Yongfeng said with a wave of his hand.
"Alright, General Manager Liu is so good to us. Let's go."
Everyone was excited, finally able to return to the city and have fun. They all put down their beer bottles and chopsticks and turned towards the workshop, preparing to destroy all the counterfeit products that had been produced but not yet circulated in the market.
Seeing this from the doorway, Shi Qiang became anxious. He immediately grabbed Fang Yanxi and said urgently, "Let's go, General Manager Fang, they're coming."
Upon hearing that they were coming, Fang Yanxi also felt a bit nervous. Shi Qiang pulled her, intending to go out through the window, but it was too late. He had no choice but to pull Fang Yanxi to a corner piled with boxes to hide.
Li Xinghao led everyone inside and began to carry out all the products, intending to find a place to bury them.
Fang Yanxi and Shi Qiang hid in the pile of cardboard boxes in the corner, neither daring to breathe loudly.
Although Shi Qiang was a professional bodyguard and possessed a late-stage dark energy martial arts strength, Li Xinghao and his group numbered fifteen people. With Shi Qiang protecting Fang Yanxi, he couldn't guarantee her safety if he truly made a move.
As fate would have it, Ruan Yanxin called. Shi Qiang's phone had not been silenced. When his phone rang, his heart sank, and he muttered, "It's over..."
"Who?"
Li Xinghao and the others turned their heads, their gazes all focused on the pile of cardboard boxes in the corner. The phone's ringing continued. Fang Yanxi, crouching beside him, also felt helpless and quietly said to Shi Qiang, "Call the police quickly."
Shi Qiang hung up Ruan Yanxin's call and then called the police, leaving his phone connected.
Fang Yanxi, beside him, also took out her phone and put it into a cardboard box.
"Get your weapons..."
Li Xinghao shouted, and the others immediately looked for weapons. Some picked up iron rods, while others directly pulled out long watermelon knives and yelled at the cardboard boxes in the corner, "Damn it, get out here."
Suddenly, Shi Qiang kicked away the cardboard box blocking his way and walked out with Fang Yanxi. Li Xinghao sized them up and, naturally not recognizing them, asked, "Who are you people?"
"Fang Yanxi, General Manager Fang!"
Liu Yongfeng also entered upon hearing the commotion. When he saw Fang Yanxi, his expression was stunned. He instantly understood what was happening and said, "I didn't expect you to find this place."
Looking at Liu Yongfeng, Fang Yanxi said, "General Manager Liu, by doing this, you are ruining your bright future. Is it worth it?"
Liu Yongfeng, wearing glasses and looking somewhat lewd, chuckled and said, "General Manager Fang, you're right. But by doing this, I make money quickly. As long as I earn one job, it's several times more than the salary I get in my current position, so I can only take the risk."
Fang Yanxi nodded with a cold expression and said, "I won't say any more nonsense."
"Heh heh."
Liu Yongfeng nodded with a cold laugh and said, "So, General Manager Fang, how do you want to resolve this?"
Fang Yanxi looked at him with cold eyes and said, "I advise you to go to the police station and confess about this matter yourself."
Liu Yongfeng narrowed his eyes under his glasses, revealing a sharp gaze, and said, "So, General Manager Fang, you've already called the police?"
Fang Yanxi shook her head, "Not yet, but this is your wisest choice."
"Haha..."
Liu Yongfeng burst into laughter and said, "General Manager Fang, even if you call the police, what does it matter? As long as I destroy these products before they arrive, and they can't get any evidence, you can't do anything to me."
Fang Yanxi deliberately frowned. Shi Qiang had already stepped in front of her. Li Xinghao and the others were smirking and advancing towards them. Liu Yongfeng said, "General Manager Fang, the situation has come to this. I advise you to be smart, so you don't suffer any physical pain. Also, hand over your phones. I know you must have taken photos and recorded videos."
Facing Li Xinghao and the others, who were all holding weapons, Fang Yanxi's eyes were sharp and cold, showing no sign of panic or fear. She still maintained the powerful aura of a goddess CEO looking down from above, saying, "General Manager Liu, I advise you not to do anything irrational. We can sit down and discuss this matter. After all, you are just an intermediary, and behind you is Han Fei Beauty Company, isn't that right?"
Liu Yongfeng shook his head and said with a cold laugh, "General Manager Fang, I wish I could do that, but we have witnessed your thunderous methods in the industry, so don't treat me like an idiot."
"Don't come closer."
Seeing Li Xinghao and the others pressing forward, Shi Qiang stood in front of Fang Yanxi and roared.
"Seize them."
Liu Yongfeng said no more nonsense.
"Go."
Li Xinghao waved his hand. The person with red hair beside him, holding a watermelon knife, charged forward first. As a result, he was also the first to be kicked flying by Shi Qiang, leaving Li Xinghao and Liu Yongfeng wide-eyed with shock. But the others swarmed forward. Shi Qiang shouted to Fang Yanxi behind him, "General Manager Fang, go to the side..."
Fang Yanxi quickly retreated to a corner, watching the chaotic fight between Shi Qiang and the group with cold eyes. Liu Yongfeng was also protected by Li Xinghao, standing aside, and shouting, "Capture him..."
Screams and sounds of falling continued. Shi Qiang, as expected of a professional bodyguard, was very skilled in combat. Within a few moves, he had taken down five or six people, striking fear into the hearts of these men, but they still charged forward with their scalpels.
"Damn it..."
Li Xinghao took out an electric baton from his pocket, cursed, and charged forward. He suddenly jabbed Shi Qiang from behind. The electric baton immediately released a powerful current, causing Shi Qiang's entire body to tremble violently. He was then hit on the head by another young man holding an iron rod, knocking him to the ground.
"Shi Qiang..."
Fang Yanxi's heart tightened, and she rushed forward. Looking at Shi Qiang, who had been knocked unconscious, she looked at Liu Yongfeng with cold eyes and said, "Liu Yongfeng, have you never considered the consequences of doing this?"
"Consequences?"
Liu Yongfeng couldn't help but laugh twice. He stepped forward, looked at Fang Yanxi's captivating and peerless face, shook his head, and said with a smile, "General Manager Fang, from the moment you entered here, I've considered the consequences. If this matter gets out, I, Liu Yongfeng, will have to spend at least ten years in prison. Rather than that, I might as well do it decisively!"
Fang Yanxi's pretty face turned completely grim, her eyes wide open, staring directly at Liu Yongfeng, who had a sinister, twisted smile. Only anger, not fear, filled her heart, and she said coldly, "I advise you not to act rashly."
"Heh heh..."
Liu Yongfeng's appearance was already a bit lewd, and now he looked even more so when he smiled. His eyes under his glasses unreservedly stared at Fang Yanxi's beautiful face, saying, "I have to say, General Manager Fang, as the goddess of our Huadu city's business world, you are even more beautiful than you look on television. Your figure is also great. It really makes me envy that Wan Yunting for being able to play with a goddess as perfect as you. I wonder what it's like to have you on the bed, and how much of a conquest it would be."
"Haha, General Manager Liu, why don't you take her to have some fun? I'll handle things here," Li Xinghao said with a wicked grin, understanding Liu Yongfeng's thoughts.
Liu Yongfeng's face was full of wicked smiles, and he said, "Tie her up. Handle things here first, and then I'll have my fun with her properly. I'll let you all have fun too."
"Okay..."
At this, Li Xinghao and the others all looked at Fang Yanxi with lustful eyes. It made her tremble with anger, and her eyes widened, staring fixedly at Liu Yongfeng. At this moment, she felt despair in her heart.
So, she really couldn't leave that man...
