(Day 1.3 support requested!) 516: Chapter 84: Don’t look back, never look back!

(Day 1.3 support requested!) How should one react in the face of crisis?

Accountant Jia had weathered storms; he had once created the best unicorn company in the world, controlled the Qianyi Group, been a disciple under the great Luo, and seen the most wondrous and majestic peaks among men.

But alas, his fate was not strong enough.

Being a disciple of the great Luo had brought him endless gifts, but after the great Luo’s downfall, he helplessly found himself on a train bound for destruction.

Now, exiled in a foreign land, Accountant Jia was no longer the benchmark for private entrepreneurs in Jin Province; he seemed to have fallen into a situation where he was hunted.

CEO Cheng’s words were so stark, so brutal.

Looking at CEO Cheng’s smug smile, Accountant Jia felt a sense of helplessness welling up from the depths of his soul; he was indeed standing firm, right where he was.

But inexplicably, just like that, he staggered on the spot.

Accountant Jia’s slight step back shattered the silence that had followed CEO Cheng’s harsh words.

The silence in the small restaurant was broken by his subconscious, uncontrollable, fearful retreat.

No, the restaurant was still quiet, but this quiet was different than before.

After CEO Cheng’s threatening words, the silence in the restaurant was of a suspenseful kind.

CEO Cheng was anxious, worried whether his setup could digest this former titan of Hua Country’s business world.

Eris was nervous; the West Coast dreamer was pulled into this inscrutable maze by CEO Cheng and Gru, worried about whether he could come out unscathed.

The others involved were also tense, sitting around the table, anxious about how much they could gain.

Now, that suspenseful tension had vanished!

“Boss Jia, don’t be scared, I was just joking, come over and let’s talk.”

CEO Cheng smiled and pointed to a private room, motioning Accountant Jia.

Eris got CEO Cheng’s hint and quickly moved in next to Accountant Jia.

The West Coast dreamer detested this job; he had climbed such mountains, but in the eyes of CEO Cheng and Gru, he was ultimately just a thug.

Yet he hoped he could remain just a thug; that way, the backlash when the time for reckoning came might be less.

He resented CEO Cheng’s condescending attitude towards him, but he had no choice but to get entangled with CEO Cheng, Gru, and the others.

In this twisted state of mind, Eris, like a dog raised by CEO Cheng, personally escorted Accountant Jia.

Thus, Elder Jia was pushed by Eris, slowly entering the private room.

“CEO Cheng, no, CEO Cheng, CEO Cheng, is there some misunderstanding?

Wasn’t that matter from last time already in the past?”

Elder Jia, even Ai Guobei would struggle, so naturally, Accountant Jia wanted to fight back.

He smiled, bent over, nodded his head, and looked at CEO Cheng with an eager, numb gaze.

You can harm me, but I have no quarrel with you!

Why?

On his weathered face was all flattery and friendliness, but beneath that friendliness was his profound unwillingness to accept his fate.

CEO Cheng had no mind-reading abilities and could not understand Accountant Jia’s gaze, but he knew he had to make Accountant Jia understand the current situation.

“There’s no misunderstanding.

I was just making a joke with you.”

CEO Cheng smiled back, he didn’t even look back, and his tone was very casual.

“Hahaha, CEO Cheng, you’re so funny, hahaha.”

Elder Jia seemingly found the joke about him being an ingredient amusing and laughed awkwardly.

But Eris did not laugh, and CEO Cheng laughed even less.

CEO Cheng pulled open a secret door in the private room, revealing a tunnel.

“Elder Jia, you’re the funny one, did you really think we gathered a bunch of people here just to joke with you?”

Accountant Jia could not laugh; he stared at the dark tunnel, nervously swallowing his saliva.

He was scared.

Eris pushed him from behind, signaling him to go inside.

Accountant Jia was not tall or sturdy, but at that moment, his will to survive gave him strength; under Eris’s push, his feet seemed to grow roots, refusing to move.

He was now silent, just clenching his teeth, refusing to enter.

Funny Elder Jia, still stubborn at this stage?

CEO Cheng glanced at Eris, who, not daring to delay, drew his gun and pressed it against Elder Jia’s head.

“GO!”

Eris, decisive and terse, struck!

“CEO Cheng, if you kill me, you won’t escape either, I have people backing me!”

Accountant Jia kept up the fight!

“Nonsense, I’ve got people backing me too, hurry up and get down there.

After all that you’ve been through, after all the schemes you’ve orchestrated, how can you not understand the situation?”

Why could CEO Cheng act against Accountant Jia without any psychological burden?

It was because this guy had harmed too many people back in the day.

With the fall of one whale, all creatures thrived.

His great Luo had fallen, leading to the rise of many.

He fled with the money, leaving behind a hole of several hundred billion, fooling thousands of families!

Shooting him was letting him off lightly!

Not extending the punishment to his nine kin was thanks to the era of the rule of law!

“CEO Cheng, I can negotiate with you, but I don’t want to know what’s down there, let’s just talk here.

You have a purpose for seeking me out, but I’m not alone and defenseless; without my cooperation, whatever your goal is, you won’t achieve it easily!”

The cold barrel of the gun on his head did not impact Accountant Jia’s quickly working mind.

He looked determinedly at CEO Cheng, waiting for him to make a decision.

“Eli, break his legs.”

CEO Cheng’s Plan A, B, and C were well-prepared, and Eris knew exactly what result CEO Cheng wanted.
