Chapter 901 It's True
The three of them did not dare to inquire further about the deep hatred Chen Yang mentioned concerning Xie Hai, as their survival did not stem from direct combat.
Even while submerged in the hot springs, they could feel the chilling dread that emanated from Chen Yang's words earlier. The animosity between Chen Yang and the Zhou family was likely beyond their comprehension.
Having acknowledged Chen Yang's resolve and bottom line, Zhu Jingye immediately extended his hand. "Happy cooperation!"
After shaking hands with Zhu Jingye, Chen Yang nodded with satisfaction. With someone like Zhu Jingye, Chen Yang could uncover more hidden secrets of Haoneng Construction Group.
With one person taking the lead, Chen Yang expected the other two to follow suit, but as his gaze fell upon them, their eyes flickered away. Chen Yang immediately understood that these two likely harbored other concerns.
"What I said earlier still stands. Once we leave this room, it's as if you've never met me." Chen Yang's focus was solely on the Zhou family, not on others. These three men were all brought here by Zhou Yuzheng, and their presence indicated their stance.
Seeing this, Zhu Jingye clapped the water and chuckled, "Don't hold back, you two. I was the first to join Haoneng Construction Group back then. If it weren't for me, you two might have held on for a while longer."
"I wronged you in the past. Now that this opportunity has arisen, I don't want to miss it. I hope you won't either!"
"Have the Zhou family treated us like humans all these years? Have they treated the workers who struggled alongside us like humans?"
"If it weren't for the brothers below, I might have left Haoneng Construction Group long ago."
"Whether this succeeds or fails, I will not have any regrets!" Zhu Jingye's tone was calm, but everyone clearly understood the meaning behind his words.
Ni Dahai and Pang Laiqing exchanged glances, seeing bitterness in each other's eyes.
"Mr. Chen, Old Zhu, it's not that we don't respect you, but this matter involves too much."
"If it succeeds, then so be it. But if it fails, let alone my own life, my family members might also..." Ni Dahai was genuinely concerned about his livelihood.
Although Chen Yang had stated that the Zhou family would not threaten their lives, how could two people be easily reassured by a single statement?
Seeing this, Chen Yang laughed heartily, "So you're worried about this? Here's what I'll do: I'll assign two security personnel to each of you. One will stay by your side, and the other will remain at your home."
"The security personnel from Yangyangyang Company are all professionally trained. With their protection, you shouldn't have any worries, right?"
As soon as Chen Yang finished speaking, Zhu Jingye eagerly asked, "Are they all as capable as Old Teng outside?" The three of them had already witnessed Old Teng in action. With such individuals providing close protection, the Zhou family would face considerable trouble if they tried to target the three of them. By then, they would have already made their arrangements.
Seeing Chen Yang nod, Ni Dahai and Pang Laiqing also agreed to Chen Yang's arrangement.
Chen Yang knew that Liu Ran and Su Ya's actions in Qingzhou were a cover for this endeavor. Therefore, without delay, he instructed the three to begin acquiring the shares of the other small shareholders. This time, in their bid to seize Haoneng Construction Group, Chen Yang intended to obtain all the shares as quickly as possible!
With Ni Dahai, Pang Laiqing, and Zhu Jingye acting in unison, their speed was extraordinary. Coupled with the substantial shares they already held, the number of shares Chen Yang controlled was now comparable to those held by the Zhou family.
Meanwhile, Zhou Lihao had also heard whispers within the company. He had no idea who was targeting Haoneng Construction Group, but he currently had no time to deal with such matters. Wei Zhenru of the Magic Stone Fund was no ordinary partner. He was extremely important to the entire Zhou family. And the Wei family behind Wei Zhenru was an even more mysterious clan.
Why was the Magic Stone Fund, founded by Wei Zhenru, able to secure all of the Zhou family's overseas funds? Was it solely because Wei Zhenru possessed the strength of a peak Grandmaster? While a peak Grandmaster was indeed formidable, in the eyes of the Zhou family, they were merely martial artists. The Zhou family had no reason to fear a peak Grandmaster. The primary reason was the Wei family behind Wei Zhenru.
Now, Wei Zhenru had vanished. And before his disappearance, he had visited him in Modu. Any intelligent person would immediately suspect him, Zhou Zeyao. Zhou Lihao never imagined that Wei Zhenru would meet his end in Qingzhou. According to Wei Zhenru's plan, the acquisition of Yangyangyang Company wouldn't require his personal involvement, nor even contact with anyone from Yangyangyang Company. All it would take was to approach the Liu family and have their kin act, and the acquisition plan would be flawless.
"Have you contacted anyone from the Liu family yet? It's been so long, do I have to go to Qingzhou myself!" Zhou Lihao's anger flared as he listened to his subordinates, "You are all useless! You can't even handle such a small matter. What good are you?"
Just as Zhou Lihao was losing his temper, there was a sudden knock on the door. As the person entered, Zhou Lihao immediately recognized her: it was Old Madam Liu from the Liu family. When Wei Zhenru discussed his plan earlier, he had already sent him Liu family's information. Zhou Lihao recognized her instantly.
"Boss Zhou!" Old Madam Liu looked at the middle-aged man before her with some excitement. This was a direct descendant of the Zhou family, rumored to be a strong contender for the next family head. If the Liu family could directly connect with such a figure, the matters in Jiang Province would surely be resolved!
Initially, Old Madam Liu had found it hard to believe when she heard that someone from the Zhou family was looking for her. It was only upon meeting him in person that the stone in her heart finally settled. Everything Wei Zhenru had said previously was true. The Zhou family wanted Yangyangyang Company!
Zhou Lihao did not engage in pleasantries with the old lady. Instead, he directly inquired about Wei Zhenru's whereabouts. When Zhou Lihao heard that Wei Zhenru had been kidnapped by people from Yangyangyang Company, his expression turned somber and uncertain. Wei Zhenru was exposed, which meant his dealings might also have been discovered by Liu Ran.
With Wei Zhenru captured, regardless of whether he revealed anything about the Zhou family, any discerning individual investigating would naturally uncover the connection between the Zhou family and Wei Zhenru.
"Boss Zhou, what is so special about this Yangyangyang Company? It's just a company that sells goods. Our Liu family's industries..."
