Chapter 334 Overbearing
A buzz of discussion filled the meeting room, a mix of elation and disbelief. They found it hard to believe Chen Yang's promises.
At this moment, a woman spoke up, "Mr. Chen, you say you can guarantee at least five hundred million in profit each month. Can this clause be written into the contract?"
Chen Yang shrugged, "Of course. If we fail to meet it, our Yangyangyang company will cover the shortfall."
"Therefore, you all have absolutely nothing to worry about regarding returns. As I said, only a win-win situation can be long-lasting. While our company won't give all the profits to your Tong family, what we can guarantee is the maximization of both parties' interests, and a sustained, stable dividend for the Tong family."
The people in the meeting room were extremely excited.
As they were talking, with a "bang," the meeting room door was flung open. Secretary Liu rushed in in a panic, trembling as he addressed Tong Xin'ya, "Young Miss, Young Miss... something has happened outside. Qi Dao Huo has brought a large number of soldiers and surrounded our fortress."
"They have too many people, seven to eight hundred, all armed. Young Miss, what should we do?"
Upon hearing this, Tong Xin'ya stood up, her voice filled with anger, "I heard that Qi Dao Huo is considered a righteous figure. I never expected him to do something like this today. Everyone, please stay in the meeting room. I will go out to assess the situation."
An elder man stepped forward immediately, blocking Tong Xin'ya. He said, "Xin'ya, now is not the time to be brave. You are the current leader of the Tong family, and nothing can happen to you."
"Let me go and see. Qi Dao Huo is furious right now and likely won't listen to anything. If I suffer any harm, or if he captures me, the Tong family can still continue to operate normally."
As the elder man spoke, he turned to leave the meeting room. Tong Xin'ya immediately said, "Uncle, this has nothing to do with you. The death of Qi Dao Huo's brother was due to my momentary negligence. I will go and explain it to him personally."
"After all, the root of the matter was not entirely on our side. If his brother hadn't been acting atrociously and colluding with Qi Tian Lai, we wouldn't have mistakenly killed him."
Chen Yang stood by the side, listening to Tong Xin'ya and the others. He understood the situation clearly now. It seemed an unwelcome guest named Qi Dao Huo had arrived.
Qi Dao Huo was likely a general leading troops. However, during the previous conflict between the Qi and Tong families, Qi Dao Huo's brother must have been killed by the Tong family, thus provoking Qi Dao Huo to surround the place with his men.
Chen Yang frowned slightly. He then spoke to Tong Xin'ya, "Miss Tong, I'll go out with you to see what's happening."
"Let's explain the situation clearly. Ultimately, everything boils down to reason. If the other party has the right, then your Tong family should be prepared to compensate. If you have the right, then no matter how many people he has, he won't be able to stir up any trouble."
Tong Xin'ya's eyes lit up, then she looked at Chen Yang with a hint of worry, "Mr. Chen, I know you are skilled, but facing someone like Qi Dao Huo, relying solely on your martial prowess won't be enough."
"They hold official positions, and their soldiers are numerous, all carrying firearms. If this escalates, it could cause trouble for the nation. Even if your skills are exceptional, Mr. Chen, you would still be no match for the country and couldn't escape legal responsibility."
Chen Yang nodded, "Don't worry, I understand. That's why I said everything boils down to reason. Let's go and see."
After speaking, Chen Yang strode towards the exit of the meeting room. Seeing Chen Yang's demeanor, Tong Xin'ya immediately felt a surge of spirit. For some reason, with Chen Yang by her side at this moment, she instantly felt much more at ease.
Tong Xin'ya hurriedly followed.
Many core members of the Tong family in the meeting room cowered, not daring to go out.
The Tong family's elder uncle stomped his foot and then chased after them, saying worriedly, "Young Miss, Young Miss, step back. I will handle the negotiations. Just stand behind me."
Several people quickly walked to the outside of the Qi family fortress.
Outside the Qi family fortress, more than thirty black armored vehicles were parked on the periphery. Simultaneously, over one hundred and eighty guards, clad in battle robes, with sabers at their waists and spears in their hands, stood in formation outside the Qi family fortress.
A middle-aged man with a large beard, his face cold and grim, wearing combat attire and with his hands behind his back, stood arrogantly waiting, his face filled with murderous intent.
Chen Yang, Tong Xin'ya, and the Tong family's elder uncle quickly approached. The Tong family's elder uncle immediately cupped his hands and said to Qi Dao Huo, "Lord Qi, welcome. Please forgive us for any oversight."
Qi Dao Huo's eyes widened, then he kicked the Tong family elder uncle in the chest with a "bang." Qi Dao Huo said coldly, "Get lost. Do you think I don't know who the current leader of your Tong family is?"
Then, Qi Dao Huo turned his gaze to Tong Xin'ya. His face was chilling as he spoke to her, "Tong Xin'ya, you have such strong means. Silently, you have devoured the entire Qi family."
"Even if that were the case, you murdered my own brother, seized all of the Qi family's assets, and even occupied our Qi family fortress. What? Do you think our Qi family has no one left? Do you think your Tong family can truly cover the sky with one hand, right?"
Tong Xin'ya suppressed her anger and said, "Lord Qi, you are talking about the results, but do you know what happened between the Tong and Qi families?"
"It was Qi Tian Lai who first kidnapped my grandfather. He led his men to break the balance between the Tong and Qi families. He even specifically invited a foreign Muay Thai expert to eliminate our entire Tong family."
"If it weren't for the timely assistance of a skilled individual, our Tong family would have been wiped out. Tell me, in a life-or-death situation, if our Tong family didn't resist, if we didn't take this opportunity to annex the Qi family in one fell swoop, what else could we have done?"
"If you were in my position, you would have acted even more ruthlessly than I did."
"Regarding your brother, I am truly sorry that he died amidst the chaos. However, your brother, thinking he was powerful and with you as his backer, was always the most arrogant subordinate of Qi Tian Lai. When he was ordered to surrender, he fiercely resisted, which ultimately led to his own death."
"We can discuss the matter of your brother. It is true that the Tong family bears some responsibility, but if you place the primary responsibility on us, then you are simply bullying us with your power."
Qi Dao Huo's lips trembled. He looked coldly at Tong Xin'ya, clenching his fists. "Tong Xin'ya, your mouth is too sharp. You can twist black into white, and wrong into right."
"But I tell you, I am not here today to argue about who is right or wrong. I only know that my entire Qi family has been swallowed by you, and my brother, my childhood brother, was killed by you. This debt must be paid by you."
"Otherwise, how can I, Qi Dao Huo, continue to hold my head high? Guards, seize Tong Xin'ya and bring her back."
