Chapter 424: Your Pride Won’t Last Long

Back at the company, Xu Yang led Jiang Zhiyong into his own office.

Ma Yangrong, on the other hand, left and headed to the business warfare team’s office area.

Before long, he entered Xu Yang’s office with the hacker Zhang Xiuzhu.

"Boss Xu, we’ve made it clear now that Tang Jinglong has done many acts of cunning and forceful takeover."

"Any company he sets his sights on ends up destroyed, with the owners’ lives in disarray. Then he finds an heir to take over, and eventually wrests the company from them."

"Such tactics are full of loopholes, but his network of influence is so strong that nobody can touch him."

"He hasn’t targeted any very large companies because it would draw too much attention, and he wouldn’t be able to wrap things up neatly. He usually preys on companies worth several hundred million to a couple of billion, which he can completely suppress with his connections."

"This incident with Ye Taian must have been a coincidence, probably because you dealt with his underling Duan Shaohui in Shengcheng, which disrupted his plans to take over Duan Shaohui’s family company, prompting him to seek revenge on you and, by the way, take over Jiangcheng Business College."

"If things go as expected, targeting Jiangcheng Business College should only be the beginning. If he can get his hands on the college and fully assimilate it, he likely won’t stop there and will move on to your other companies as well."

While speaking, Zhang Xiuzhu placed a document in front of Xu Yang.

Xu Yang nodded, flipped through the documents, and then asked, "Besides DNA testing, is there any other way?"

Zhang Xiuzhu said, "We’ve found two people involved in the tomb explosion and the arson at the testing facility. Tang Jinglong has already sent them on a flight to Thailand through his connections. The two forensic experts who issued the false test reports are on a flight to Maple Country.

We can send our field operatives to these two countries to bring them back, but it will take some time, given that our operatives are only deployed domestically, not internationally."

Xu Yang frowned, this was indeed a bit of a challenge.

At that moment, Jiang Zhiyong said, "I can help with this matter."

All three turned to look at him, and Xu Yang asked, "Brother Jiang, what can you do?"

Jiang Zhiyong said, "I have comrades in both of those countries, from my days as a mercenary."

Xu Yang’s eyes lit up, "Brother Jiang, we’ll be relying on you for this."

...

On Tang Jinglong’s side.

After securing Jiangcheng Business College, he made a call to his father, after which he decided to donate the school to Guanghua Charity Association.

Upon his instruction, Ye Taian arrived at Jiangcheng Business College with a few people.

The donation was soon completed.

Jiangcheng Business College thus passed from Tang Jinglong’s name into the hands of Guanghua Charity Association.

Tang Jinglong added yet another bold stroke to his charitable endeavors.

Tang Jinglong was very satisfied with the outcome.

Once all the procedures were done, Tang Jinglong left with Ye Taian for the Guanghua Charity Association’s Jiangcheng branch.

The two entered Ye Taian’s office, and Tang Jinglong directly sat down on the sofa, gesturing for Ye Taian to take a seat. Then he said, "The same as usual: prepare the documents to list Jiangcheng Business College for sale. Once the money is received, make sure the accounts are in order and transfer it to my account in instalments."

It was routine by now.

He would take over someone’s enterprise, donate it to his own Guanghua Charity Association, sell it off, and through this means transfer the money into his account.

He had done this more than a dozen times.

Having been involved in this process two or three times, Ye Taian was well acquainted with the procedure and said with a smile, "I was prepared the moment you notified me, and I’ve already sent out the notices. We should be contacted soon by interested parties, especially since the sale price we offer is quite attractive."

"Very good," Tang Jinglong nodded in satisfaction.

Xu Yang not giving him face by refusing to sell Tianxiong Foodstuff at a low price justified taking action against Xu Yang.

As for how Xu Yang might retaliate, and what form it would take, he wasn’t concerned in the slightest.

No matter how much Xu Yang might struggle, where could he possibly go?

He had already paid off the two DNA experts and sent them to Maple Country.

The two individuals responsible for the tomb explosion and setting the testing facility on fire were fugitives, and he had paid them off to head to Thailand.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

These four people were never coming back in their lifetimes.

Under these circumstances, he couldn’t imagine any possible countermeasures from Xu Yang.

This was just the first step.

Once he had digested Jiangcheng Business College, he would move on to Xu Yang’s other businesses.

Take it slow, and aim to get all of Xu Yang’s other businesses in hand.

By then, his assets would soar.

Thinking about Xu Yang being ruined and driven to despair by him made him feel very happy.

At that moment, his cellphone rang.

Seeing the caller ID, Tang Jinglong’s mouth curved into a smile, and he answered immediately, laughing smugly, "President Xu, are you asking me to talk to my dad to get you more compensation?"

Xu Yang responded coldly, "Feeling smug, aren’t you?"

Tang Jinglong laughed proudly, "I wouldn’t say smug, but I just acquired a university and I am quite happy. You’re not calling just to ask me that, are you?"

"Of course not," Xu Yang sneered. "I wouldn’t be that bored. I am calling to tell you that your smugness won’t last long. Two fugitives have flown to Thailand; you better keep an eye out, or who knows when they might return to the country."

Tang Jinglong’s eyes narrowed.

Obviously, Xu Yang was referring to the two fugitives who helped blow up his family grave and set fire to the appraisal institute.

If those two were captured and brought back.

Even without DNA testing, the courts could doubt the authenticity of the DNA test results, and that would be problematic.

Xu Yang might actually have a chance to turn the tables.

Realizing this, Tang Jinglong said coldly, "Xu Yang, it seems I’ve underestimated you. You found out so quickly where those two went. But so what? Can you bring them back?"

"Whether I can bring them back or not, you’ll know soon enough," Xu Yang said with a sneer.

"Hmph, I’ll be waiting. I really want to see what you can do," Tang Jinglong said, huffing out a breath and hanging up the phone.

After putting down the phone, his brow furrowed.

Although he did not believe Xu Yang could do it, there was always a fear of the unexpected.

If Xu Yang really managed to bring them back, it would indeed be a big problem.

After some thought, Tang Jinglong dialed an international long-distance call.

Soon, the call connected.

A voice answered, "Young Master Tang, what good news do you have for me?"

Tang Jinglong spoke in a heavy tone, "I’ll send you information on two individuals shortly. They should have just arrived at the airport on your side. Find them and take care of them, and I’ll give you ten million."

The other party laughed heartily, "Young Master Tang, this is indeed good news. Ten million for two people; I am very grateful. Rest assured, those two won’t get to see the sun rise tomorrow!"

Tang Jinglong’s Guanghua Charity Association had branches in Thailand.

Of course, these branches weren’t set up for charitable work, but for money laundering.

In the business of money laundering, you naturally get to know some big shots.

The person on the phone, Song Kun, was an underworld boss from the city of Manya in Thailand.

The underworld in Thailand is different from that in China.

In China, a social big shot making a homemade gun would be considered impressive.

But in Thailand, even low-level thugs look down on a homemade gun.

Song Kun’s men all start with AK47s and can skillfully launch rockets.

The area around Manya airport is Song Kun’s turf.

If he wants to stir up trouble there, even the police won’t dare to intervene.

Finding and killing two people there would be a piece of cake for him.
