CHAPTER 607

"Pff, at least I am careful when I go fucking around. Anyways, I did not call for that. Since you do not know the news, I would say this. Your son should get prepared to have my payback for what he did to Qing Mei."

"Is that a threat?"

"It is and I would do it."

"Hmm, was it because I never haunted you for what your granddaughter did to my daughter-in-law?"

"Do not act like you ever supported that marriage. For you to be happy that my granddaughter took charge for you."

"I never said I hated Li Jing. Yes, I did not approve of their wedding because he was spoiling a business deal with it but after looking her up and her contributions to my company, I saw she was a good match for him."

"Now you say that."

"Look here, Zhang. You should be grateful Qing Mei is not paying with her life for what she did to Li Jing because with how angry Ye Cheng is hmm."

"Ye Sheng I am warning you."

"No, you keep your warnings and threat to yourself. Keep your own granddaughter on a leash and my son would not be forced to retaliate."

"Oh, I see that your mouth is screaming and sprouting out the rubbish."

"Shouldn't it?"

"Is it because you feel your secret is safe?"

"Oh, have you forgotten you signed on the contract? If you dare release it, you would be shocked at the level of exposure I would expose all your dirty secrets."

"What are you screaming lies for?"

"Lies? Oh please. You do not understand, do you? Do you think after the rubbish you did I would not up to my game?"

"Say whatever you want just know, Ye Cheng would pay."

"Lay a hand on his hair and I would bring you down."

Beep.

In anger, he ended the call and dropped his phone.

Even though he was not on good terms with his son, he would not allow a rival company to intimidate him.

Yes, he never liked Li Jing from the start but after he had a discussion with Ye Cheng during the meeting that day, he knew she was not a social status climber and the girl had also helped increase her family's business.

Sincethen, his mindset about her changed but he was just too prideful to even want to try and make amends with his family and chose to ignore.

Now he heard about the accident and also he had his men amongst Ye Cheng's men who reported things to him. That alongside his source, he soon found out who was indeed responsible for the accident.

He was not stupid. Ye Cheng might not have fully grown up with him but he knew his son when he was angry and knew Ye Cheng was so much in love with Li Jing and knowing his friends, who were also family friends of his and business associate, he knew they had his back.

It was easy getting the needed information from the Fong family and had a strong idea of the whole thing.

'Oh gosh. Ye Cheng, I understand his anger but he really did anger Zhang but knowing him, this is just the beginning. Even though we are not on good terms, I do not want anything happening to my son.'

***

On the other hand, Ye Cheng drove quickly to meet up with his friends. He needed to ensure proper justice was done to their warehouse. That would be one lovely way to warn Chairman Zhang and his useless daughter not to mess with him.

As he drove, his phone began to ring. Checking the caller, he placed it on speaker and answered. "Yes, Wei Ling what is the report?"

"Umm, everything is set. They are about to go into the building as planned," Fong Wei Ling informed him.

"How are the backgrounds of these guys?"

"I checked properly. Most are poor and some have been dealt a heavy blow by the Zhang group. So getting a way to pay them back, they gladly agreed to the deal."

"Alright. How much did they request as payment for their work?"

"They did not want any payment. As I said, they had lost so much because of the Zhang group. Those miscreants rode on the poor, forcefully made most leave their homes because of renovation and destroyed their properties."

'What did the law do about it?"

"You speak like you do not know what would happen. Of course, the law favoured Zhang group thinking the angry common people were just angry for nothing."

"If that is just the case, it shouldn't have died down like that. Didn't they see that the properties were destroyed?"

"Digging into it, I found out that wasn't the case. They threatened them not to report further and pull out from the lawsuit, promising to pay them ff and get them somewhere new."

"And they never did. That shady group."

"A lot of wrongs has gone down with Zhang empire and all their trades. I am not surprised about something like this. So when the idea came to use those they have faulted before against them, I knew it would not be hard finding that weakness."

"From the looks of things their business is built on lies and they have faulted both the rich and poor, powerful and weak."

"Yeah. Just take a look at you for example."

"Me?"

Ye Cheng was taken aback. Never would he imagine being brought into the case like this.

"Yes, you. You think that I do not know what happened a year ago?"

"What happened?"

"The accident at Star City Harbour and even the shooting at the house on the hill. I knew all of those and I knew all the fools involved. Cheng, you had what it took to bring those idiots down for life but my main problem was why? Why did you never use it? He was even an opponent."

"First I did not want to bring him down as my opponent with that."

"Are you serious now?"
