Chapter 549: No Different from Ordinary People

"I’ve always had good luck; I can’t be killed that easily." Shen Pingkang chuckled and sat across from Chen Wenbin, kicked up one leg comfortably, and leisurely lit a cigarette, savoring a deep draw, "I’m out now, and all the upcoming matters, I’ll handle them."

A flash of anger and resentment flickered in Shen Pingkang’s eyes.

He thought this was his chance to rise, so he didn’t leave any room for error.

But in the blink of an eye, Shen Pingkang was out again.

He really couldn’t fathom how Shen Pingkang managed to get out.

So, he asked, "How did you get out? Bai Junior definitely didn’t pull strings for you. If he did pull some strings to get you out and let you continue working, he would’ve informed me."

Shen Pingkang chuckled, "That’s not something you need to worry about."

He naturally wouldn’t tell Chen Wenbin that he had teamed up with Ma Yangrong to deal with Bai Kunyu.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t be far from death.

Chen Wenbin took a deep breath and said, "Let’s reconcile, Shen Pingkang. You can suppress me all you want, make me take the blame for anything, but I hope you don’t resort to other methods. I won’t oppose you ever again."

With things having reached this point, Chen Wenbin had no choice but to beg for mercy.

Their issues didn’t need to be hidden anymore; everything should be laid out on the table.

Shen Pingkang chuckled, "You tried to have me killed, yet I survived against all odds. Now you want to reconcile with me. Do you think I would agree to that?"

Chen Wenbin responded, "I think it’s still negotiable. Our conflict is merely over interests. As long as the compensation is sufficient, nothing is impossible."

Shen Pingkang replied, "Did what you just said offer me any benefits? Now that I’m out, suppressing you and making you take the blame seems pretty normal, doesn’t it? You simply don’t have the power to resist!"

Chen Wenbin said, "I’m willing to cede all my assets to compensate you!"

Helpless, for wealth can be earned again, but once a life is gone, it’s over.

Shen Pingkang’s eyes lit up, "How much assets do you have now?"

Their competition to become Bai Kunyu’s number one assistant was all about the money.

If Chen Wenbin could provide financial compensation, it wasn’t impossible to let him off the hook.

Chen Wenbin said, "In total, I have two hundred million."

Assisting Bai Kunyu, there were too many opportunities to make money.

Even as Bai Kunyu’s second assistant, Chen Wenbin could make tens of millions a year.

Of course, this wasn’t to say that Bai Kunyu paid them that much in salary.

In fact, Bai Kunyu’s salaries for them weren’t very high: the first assistant got one million, the second assistant eight hundred thousand, and the third assistant five hundred thousand.

Chen Wenbin, as the second assistant, received eight hundred thousand.

He had been serving as the assistant for five years.

All in all, his salary income was just four million.

Far from the two hundred million he claimed to possess.

How did he accumulate so much money?

The reason was that too many people wanted to get in touch with Bai Kunyu through them.

Serving as assistants was like manning a gateway.

The number of people offering them money was beyond counting.

Additionally, they controlled a vast network of relationships, which they could leverage as long as they didn’t go too far.

Earning several tens of millions a year really wasn’t that difficult.

As the first assistant, Shen Pingkang made even more.

One could say, such individuals were essentially multimillionaires.

Shen Pingkang chuckled, "Two hundred million, not bad. You’ve got quite a nest egg there, but I have one more condition."

Chen Wenbin asked, "What condition?"

Shen Pingkang said, "Don’t serve as Bai Junior’s assistant any longer. Only then can I be at ease. And you can’t stay in this country—you must leave and never return. Don’t bother resigning to Bai Junior or letting him know. Just leave immediately."

He had good reasons for sparing Chen Wenbin.

After all, killing Chen Wenbin did come with certain risks.

It was a ticking time bomb that could be exploited by someone at any moment.

Shen Pingkang wanted to kill him because he had no way out.

Putting himself in Shen’s shoes, Xu Yang thought he probably would make the same choice.

But now, he didn’t want to go to such lengths, opting for the simpler path, taking Chen Wenbin’s money and driving him away would settle everything.

Once away from Bai Kunyu, Chen Wenbin wouldn’t be able to retaliate against him.

"Alright!" Chen Wenbin agreed without hesitation.

Compared to one’s life, money truly wasn’t that important.

As for moving abroad, that was hardly an issue.

With his capabilities, he could make a living just as well overseas.

"Then get lost. Within twenty-four hours, I expect you to be out of the country, otherwise don’t blame me for not being polite," Shen Pingkang said unapologetically.

"Fine, I’ll return to the capital, and leave immediately with my family!" Chen Wenbin nodded, turned around, and left.

Yang Xin Investment.

Xu Yang was in his office, listening to Ma Yangrong’s report.

"Boss Xu, it’s all taken care of, we just have to wait for the good news now," Ma Yangrong said with a smile.

"Very good," Xu Yang nodded, "I called Bai Kunyu earlier, and he was as arrogant as ever, I wonder what his mood will be like when he calls me."@@novelbin@@

Ma Yangrong laughed, "Definitely both furious and frustrated, yet having no choice but to bow his head!"

Xu Yang shook his head, "The Bai Family is nothing but a second-rate clan, the Bai brothers think too highly of themselves, acting as if they’re second only to heaven, I really don’t understand what they’re thinking, there are plenty of people more capable than them."

Ma Yangrong added, "These major family members always have that superior look in their eyes when they see others. Not just the Bai Family, but the Yang Family and Tang Family from the province capital were the same."

"That’s true," Xu Yang agreed, "These family scions naturally think they’re better than us, I’ll make sure they understand they’re no different from ordinary people."

"Boss Xu, you’re the only one who can make this happen," Ma Yangrong said.

His words were both flattery and the truth.

He had never seen someone make so many prominent families take a fall.

Xu Yang was a trailblazer.

In a short time, he had brought down two major clans of the province capital, and the Bai Family’s fate wouldn’t be much better.

After a few more words, Ma Yangrong left to get back to work.

No sooner had he gone than Xu Yang’s phone rang.

Seeing the caller ID, Xu Yang’s eyebrows twitched as he answered, "Young Master Wang."

Wang Xiaocong said, "Xu Yang, I heard you’ve been fiercely battling with the Bai Family. Do you need my help?"

Even though the Bai Family didn’t take the Wang Family very seriously, the Wangs still had substantial power.

They might not have as deep roots as the Bai Family, but they certainly had more money.

They could still offer some assistance.

Xu Yang replied, "No need, I can handle it myself. Results will be coming very soon, you just wait and see."

Wang Xiaocong said, "Okay, if you say so, I’m relieved. Make sure you teach Bai Kunyu a lesson, I really dislike that guy. He’s just an heir from a second-rate family but acts as if he’s the best in the world. I think he really needs to be taught a lesson."

Xu Yang laughed.

It seemed there were quite a few people who couldn’t stand Bai Kunyu.

He said, "Don’t worry, I’ll definitely put on a good show, I won’t let you down."

"I believe in you," Wang Xiaocong said, "By the way, I called you for another reason too."
