âWeâre running out of time. You give Zhang Yuchu a call- tell him that it doesnât matter what he does as long as he causes trouble. Best way to go about this is let something happen to the Chu Mengyao girl, so that Chu Pengzhan stops focusing on the company! I only need some time to have authority over the company, along with the support of the shareholders!â Jin Gubang said to Jin Maosheng after some thought.
âUnderstood, dad! Iâll contact Zhang Yuchu right now.â Maosheng nodded.
âBe careful of that Lin Yi- the bastardâs messed our plans up twice already.â Gubang warned.
âWeâll need to think up a flawless plan this time...â Maosheng was thinking how heâd get Mengyao into an accident- he was someone more evil and ruthless than his father, after all... He liked to solve problems with accidents.
Dropping the chandelier on Pengzhan in the parking lot was one such example of the accidents heâd caused- heâd also killed off the electrician who helped him with another accident.
Jin Maosheng was a violent man- heâd never agreed to kidnapping Mengyao in the first place. As far as he was concerned, killing the girl off would destroy Chu Pengzhan instantly, and troubling himself over company affairs would be the last thing on his mind. The Jins would then swoop in and steal away the chairman seat amidst the chaos.
Maosheng dialed in Yuchuâs number as he walked out his fatherâs office. As much as he preferred to be dealing with Li Cihua directly instead of Yuchu, who was just his underling, Maosheng understood that he wasnât at that level yet.
House Jin still wasnât powerful enough to be in the same world as the person behind Li Cihua- what they were doing here, after all, was just so that the Jins could have control over Pengzhan Industries and pave the path for Master Binâs company- that person wouldnât have involved himself at all if it werenât for that.
The price for Jin control over Pengzhan Industries was the extraction of real estate from the company- all for the sake of Master Bin, the bastard son of that person.
Pengzhan Industries was involved with trading, real estate, general merchandise, hotels, entertainment, clothing lines... Taking real estate out of that combination would damage the company, but it was a meager price to pay for the chairman's seat at the top of Pengzhan Industries.
Maosheng was the son of a large shareholder of Pengzhan Industries- to think that someone like him amounted to nothing in the eyes of that person sent melancholy down his spine... Was that house really that monstrously powerful?
âMister Jin, whatâs the matter?â Yuchu was currently flaming over the father and son of House Jin- the failure of the robbery was completely due to Gubangâs lack of investigation, the fact that he hadnât looked into the person protecting Mengyao... That was the cause for their loss! And now they were blaming his men??
It infuriated Zhang Yuchu- he was, at the end of the day, Cihua Broâs man. He wasnât just someone Jin Gubang could scold as he pleased.
Yuchuâs voice started pissing Maosheng off as well- it wasnât as if they werenât giving anything in exchange! Cutting the real estate company out from Pengzhan Industries was massive- that was three to four hundred million kuai right there!!
âMister Zhang, I hope you understand that weâre in a partnership here- thereâs no subordination involved in the slightest! This job gets done and both Master Bin and I get what we want.â Maosheng was a formidable man himself- he was harsher than even his father. The usurpation this time around was due to him, as well. âYet I donât lose anything should things go downhill- itâll be the same, us Jins would remain shareholders in Pengzhan Industries. But do you think Master Bin would just let things slide on your part?â
â........â Yuchu froze- why hadnât he considered this before? Heâd been so hung up on the Jins pinning the failure on him that he heâd forgotten- the consequences for failure would be as bad as the rewards for success would be good!
Yuchu broke into a cold sweat with that in mind. âJin Bro, whatâre you saying? Weâre both after mutual benefit at the end of the day, arenât we! Donât say stuff like that! Rest assured- Iâll give it my best!â
Maosheng smiled coldly at the response- the guy wouldâve kept dragging things if he didnât scare him a bit. âHaha, of course, of course. That old fox Chu Pengzhanâs on alert now because of what happened- heâs constantly pulling back company rights! My fatherâs being really passive about it, too!â
âThen... What do we do?â Yuchu asked. He wasnât even part of the guyâs company, what was he telling him this for?
âShould some kind of accident befall Chu Pengzhanâs daughter... heâd probably pull his focus away from company affairs.â Maosheng said faintly. âStorms gather without warning, donât they, Yuchu?â
Yuchu paused at the words- Maosheng intended to shed blood. Yet Yuchu himself wasnât one to cower away from such things; none of Cihua Broâs men were.
âDonât worry, Jin Bro. I know what to do- it wonât be long before you hear the bad news.â Yuchu agreed directly- offing a person, after all, was easier than kidnapping them.
âAlright then- Iâll make sure to check the news.â Maosheng said before hanging the phone up. _Thatâs more like it._
Naturally, Yuchu phoned Li Cihua first.
âCihua Bro, itâs me, little Yuchu!â Yuchu said after the call connected.
âAh, little Yuchu. Whyâre you calling at this hour? Donât you know Iâm sleeping?â Cihua was a man who slept during the day- it was something his followers all knew. He only kept his phone on in case the boss backing him up called.
âCihua Bro, Jin Maosheng called- he wants me to kill that Chu Mengyao girl.......â Yuchu explained.
âAh. Iâll leave it to you- remember not to have any direct confrontations, that girl has a master with her. Just causing an accident should be enough.â Cihua said casually, evidently not thinking much of one human life. âAlso, Master Binâs coming soon. Wrap things up as soon as you can- the real estate company of Pengzhan Industries is the welcoming gift for him!!â
âUnderstood, Cihua Bro! Iâll get to it right now!â With Cihuaâs approval, Yuchu was clear to go all out- from what he could see, it didnât matter how good that Lin Yi was, he wouldnât be able to protect Chu Mengyao if he played dirty and in the shadows.
Heâd been so careful before, too, trying to keep the girl alive... Things changed after that phone call with Maosheng, and it was time for her to have a clean death.
