Chapter 783 - I’m Very Sorry to Have Startled Her Today!
“Your subordinate kidnapped my wife. What story do I need to come up with when I come to find you?” Fu Huai’an asked in turn.
“If I die, how are you planning to control the De Niro Company?”
“You’re not going to die…” Fu Huai’an said, sounding calm and confident.
Fu Huai’an then looked at Tang Zheng. “Xiao Nuan will be home soon. I’m leaving first…”
Tang Zheng nodded. “Don’t worry. Go back and comfort Sis-in-law!”
Li Muyang leaned against the bed feebly, watching as Fu Huai’an left, yet he didn’t have the power to stop him…
He sounded feeble. “You can’t hide the secret of Mr. Moral. Mr. Fu… great bloodshed will soon come to Haicheng. I hope that you can guard all that you care about.”
Watching as the door closed behind Fu Huai’an, the smile on Li Muyang’s lips gradually dimmed.
“Great bloodshed?” There was a hint of sarcasm in Tang Zheng’s low laughter. He bent over and held the ends of the bed, his eyes narrowed. “If we bind you to your bed until you die and make sure you don’t ever get to open your mouth in this lifetime… who’s going to know that Mr. Moral is in Haicheng?”
Tang Zheng gestured for his men to inject a drug into Li Muyang.
Li Muyang gazed at Tang Zheng with a cold smile, allowing Tang Zheng’s men to pull up his arm and make injections into his veins, not at all looking like he was putting up any resistance.
With his devilish charm becoming even more apparent, he took a deep look at Tang Zheng and said, “Then, we shall see…”
Tang Zheng straightened his body, his expression dark. “I hope you can see it!”
Tang Zheng stood at the foot of the bed, watching as Li Muyang’s eyelids drooped as they got heavier. He waited until he finally closed his eyes.
Very quickly, Ah Zhan was brought in.
Looking at Li Muyang lying on the bed with his eyes shut, Ah Zhan felt his heart tighten momentarily…
It was only after he saw that Li Muyang’s chest was rising and falling that Ah Zhan felt his heart ease a little. He gazed at Tang Zheng, who was holding a cigarette in his fingers.
“Mr. Tang, I have invited Mr. Ah Zhan here…” Little Lu spoke.
“Sir, you can’t smoke when there are patients…” Ah Zhan’s knuckles cracked at his sides.
Tang Zheng glanced at the cigarette in his fingers, then smiled at Ah Zhan before putting it out in the ashtray.
“I’ve arranged a plane for this afternoon to send you and Mr. Li back to America!” Tang Zheng set the ashtray aside and introduced someone to Ah Zhan. It was a suited man who was standing by the window and was holding a small piece of luggage. “This is Dr. Ding. He will be responsible for Mr. Li’s health in the future and will make sure that nothing happens to Mr. Li.”
How could Ah Zhan not understand Tang Zheng’s meaning? Dr. Ding didn’t look like a kind and honest person at all. He was probably being sent to control Li Muyang.
But now, with Li Muyang in the hands of others, Ah Zhan didn’t even have the courage to resist.
“These people will also follow you and Dr. Ding back to America…” Tang Zheng leaned against the foot of the bed with both hands in his pockets. “Protecting the safety of Mr. Li and Dr. Ding!”
Tang Zheng leisurely spoke to Ah Zhan. It was a dialogue between two smart people, so things didn’t need to be made explicit. Tang Zheng knew that Ah Zhan knew exactly what his words meant.
“Mr. Moral has a great appetite indeed, to yearn to swallow the entire De Niro family…” Ah Zhan’s masseter muscle was particularly apparent.
Tang Zheng revealed a teasing smile. “It’s no fun when Mr. Ah Zhan makes things so explicit!”
“The De Niro family has close ties with the US government. I’m afraid that Mr. Moral won’t be able to swallow it… merely because he wants to!” Ah Zhan’s expression was ridiculously dark. “Be careful that you don’t stuff yourself to death with your greed and huge appetite!”
“What is there to fear? With Mr. Ah Zhan around, what communication issues will there be with the US government! Unless…” Tang Zheng slightly turned his head and gestured towards Li Muyang. “Mr. Ah Zhan doesn’t wish for Mr. Li to wake up!”
Ah Zhan’s body stiffened at Tang Zheng’s words.
“Mr. Li killed the entire De Niro family, so there’s no one to succeed him. The US government probably can’t wait for Mr. Li to die so that they can pick someone else to take his place. I believe Mr. Ah Zhan is clearer about this than me…”
How could Ah Zhan not be clear about it? There were no collaborations that couldn’t be broken in this world!
“Hence, instead of cooperating with the US government, Mr. Ah Zhan should know that it’s better to cooperate with me!” Tang Zheng saw the cigarette ash that accidentally got onto his suit from his peripheral vision. He gently patted his clothes and straightened his body. “Mr. Li and Mr. Ah Zhan came to Haicheng yourselves and went to such great lengths to provoke us. I guess you were just waiting for this day! Or… am I mistaken?”
Ah Zhan felt his chest ache upon hearing Tang Zheng’s words.
He and Li Muyang insisted on coming to Haicheng despite the good life they were leading in America…
Ah Zhan kept telling Li Muyang that Mr. Moral’s bottom line couldn’t be breached! Yet Li Muyang seemed to be bewitched by Lin Nuan!
Until today, even Ah Zhan had gone crazy!
Ah Zhan closed his eyes…
If he hadn’t gone to kidnap Lin Nuan, none of what was happening would have happened!
Ah Zhan truly regretted it!
He regretted not trying his utmost to talk Li Muyang out of coming to Haicheng!
Ah Zhan clenched his teeth, closed his eyes, and forced himself to calm down…
It was okay! Just go back to America! So long as they managed to get back to America and back to their own territory, things would get better!
Currently, the most crucial thing was to get Li Muyang safely back to America.
After a long time, Ah Zhan opened his eyes and looked at Tang Zheng, saying, “Help me… apologize to Ms. Lin. I’m very sorry to have startled her today!”
It wouldn’t have been so bad if Ah Zhan hadn’t mentioned Lin Nuan. At the mention of Lin Nuan, the smile on Tang Zheng’s face became replaced by a cold expression. “Mr. Ah Zhan, I hope never to hear my sis-in-law’s surname and name from your or Mr. Li’s mouth again. Or else one can’t help but recall today’s events… can’t help but want to break your legs, cut off your tongues, and shoot you with a gun instead of sending you back to America! Understood?”
There was a dark expression in Tang Zheng’s eyes.
Towards Lin Nuan, Ah Zhan felt guilt, so he nodded.
“Very good!” Tang Zheng fixed his collar, then smiled at Ah Zhan. “Then, may we have a happy collaboration!”
Tang Zheng buttoned his suit jacket at the waist, walked to the door, took the knitted coat from his subordinate’s hands, and left the room.
Ah Zhan stood at the foot of the bed, sighing as he watched the sound asleep and peaceful looking Li Muyang, a desolate look in his eyes.
…
The black Lincoln MKC stopped in the parking area of the new residence. The top of the car was covered with a thin layer of snow.
A pale-faced Lin Nuan sat in front of a warm fireplace as she took hot cocoa from You Nainai’s hands that You Nainai had asked the servants to prepare. Yun Liuli covered Lin Nuan’s body with a blanket.
The warmth reached Lin Nuan’s palms from the porcelain mug, making her fingertips a scalded shade of red. Yet Lin Nuan didn’t let go off the mug.
The television was broadcasting the Kaide Corporation’s news conference…
Lu Jinnan was standing at the podium in a suit, announcing that Fu Huai’an had officially joined the board of directors as the largest shareholder of the Kaide Corporation.
After Lu Jinnan finished his scripted speech, he stood there smartly as he took questions from reporters. Cameras were snapping away at him, and flashing lights from the cameras made Lu Jinnan look as if he was sparkling.
