Chapter 89: Chapter 90: The Power Behind Him

(I had planned to go all out with four updates today, but something came up unexpectedly and I really couldn’t update any more. I can only apologize and stick with three updates. When the time for strong promotion comes, I’ll go all out with four updates! Thank you "Eyes Bleeding Tears" and "6786786" for your rewards, and thank you for your support!) ————————————————————

"Hmm, it was him who took action, I retrieved Xue from his hands."

Xiao Yi nodded.

"Unexpectedly, it was him who moved, I didn’t expect that Jin Dongming actually found him to take action!"

Chen Jianguo’s face showed a hint of bitter smile, he had intended to harshly strike those bastards who dared to lay hands on his daughter, but upon hearing Sun Hao’s name, he immediately knew that he was set to take this loss. With any other gang leader in G City, he had the confidence and momentum to teach them a hard lesson with his power and connections, but he couldn’t do that with Sun Hao!

"Uncle Chen, what’s the background of this Sun Hao? Could you tell me?"

Xiao Yi asked Chen Jianguo, who seemed to have a considerable understanding of Sun Hao.

In front of Sun Hao, he displayed great dominance, even leaving words that he welcomed retaliation at any time. That was a kind of momentum, meant to exert tremendous pressure on the other party to deter rash actions. But if he didn’t take the time to seriously understand the opponent after returning, that would be arrogance.

He certainly didn’t think the grudge of two Bone Tempering Experts, one crippled and the other severely injured, could be so easily let go.

"Actually, I am not very clear about Sun Hao’s background either. He just emerged in G City in recent years, but his rise was very rapid. It is said that a very powerful force is backing him, and it is precisely because of this that the people of the Four Great Families in G City just watched him rise."

Chen Jianguo shook his head and shared with Xiao Yi what he knew about Sun Hao.

"Oh? Do you know who is behind him?"

A flicker of interest passed through Xiao Yi’s eyes. If there really was a major force behind the other party, then he would indeed need to be more cautious in the future.

"I don’t know, I’ve never had contact with him, nor have we ever intersected before. In business, he has mainly been involved in fringe industries, such as bars and karaoke clubs, which are almost completely unrelated to us. I really didn’t expect Jin Dongming would reach out to him to take action. It seems he must have paid a heavy price this time."

Chen Jianguo shook his head, his eyes showing a trace of anger at the mention of Jin Dongming.

He had decided that when he returned tomorrow, he would immediately take action against Jin Dongming. Even if it meant mutual destruction, he would not hold back anymore. After all, Jin Dongming had resorted to such despicable means against his daughter. If he continued to hesitate, then he was living in vain. Moreover, considering Jin Dongming’s connections behind him, if it really came down to a fight, Chen didn’t think he would be the one to fear.

"Uncle Chen, as for Mr. Jin, you should go directly tomorrow and buy out his shares, and let him completely leave Jianguo Group. A person like him has no use staying within Jianguo Group anyway."

Hearing Chen Jianguo mention Jin Dongming, Xiao Yi immediately recalled what he had said to Jin Dongming, and so he spoke to Chen Jianguo.

"I’m afraid he won’t agree."

Chen Jianguo hesitated, Jin Dongming was still coveting his shares and was preparing to make a move on Jianguo Group. How could he easily give up his shares and leave Jianguo Group? His previous plan had only been to find a way to remove Jin Dongming from his position as vice president and to expel him from the board of directors, so that he would be completely distanced from Jianguo Group and simply become a shareholder reaping dividends.

"He won’t have a choice but to agree, just go to him tomorrow and see."

Xiao Yi’s mouth curled into a faint smile as he estimated the time. It seemed like there was still almost half an hour before Jin Dongming would recover, right? He was probably still deep in fear, wasn’t he?

Over the years, Old Man Xiang had constantly sent him out on missions to temper him, and the most important lesson he’d learned was an understanding of people. Humans are social animals by nature, instinctively drawn to join groups and communicate. It’s a basic need. When someone is plunged into a situation where they can’t speak or move their hands, utterly unable to communicate, and it happens all of a sudden, it can terrifyingly shatter a person’s willpower.

Six hours wasn’t long, but for Jin Dongming, it had been enough to completely break his will and plant a profound fear of him in his heart!

"Alright, then I’ll give it a try tomorrow. If it really works out that way, it would be for the best. I’m really regretting bringing that wolf into the house; it was the biggest mistake of my life."

Chen Jianguo was somewhat astonished by Xiao Yi’s confident tone, unable to understand where such strong confidence came from. However, if things turned out the way Xiao Yi said and Jin Dongming was completely ousted from Jianguo Group, it would undoubtedly be a huge blessing for him. Over the past year or so, especially recently, his biggest regret was his short-sighted decision to bring Jin Dongming onboard.

"He will definitely agree."

Xiao Yi nodded confidently and then said, "Uncle Chen, if Sun Hao’s people come to inquire about my situation, just tell them the truth. Whatever you know about me, tell them that much."

"How could that be okay? Xiao... Xiao Yi, don’t worry about that, I’ve got your back. If they come after you for revenge, I’ll take it on for you."

Chen Jianguo immediately became agitated upon hearing Xiao Yi’s words.

Xiao Yi’s statement was indeed awkward for him. Was he, Chen Jianguo, the kind of person who would be ungrateful and disloyal?

"No, Uncle Chen, don’t get worked up yet, listen to me. Sun Hao is not a simple man. If you can avoid clashing with him, do so. Plus, don’t worry, he can’t do anything to me. I won’t let myself be put in harm’s way. Rest assured."

Xiao Yi gestured to calm the emotionally agitated Chen Jianguo, feeling a slight gratitude in his heart towards him. He could tell that Chen Jianguo’s agitation was genuine and not just for show. Through their few encounters to this point, he was finally beginning to understand why Old Man Xiang had taken a special interest in him and cultivated him, even personally referring him so he could contact him in G City.

However, he definitely couldn’t let Chen Jianguo naively offend Sun Hao, especially after tonight’s encounter. The best plan was to let Sun Hao come after him and bear the grudge against him alone, which was another reason he had been so ruthless with Sun Hao that night.

"This..."

Chen Jianguo was still hesitant.

"Uncle Chen, trust me. You just take care of the company’s business when you get back, and deal with everything else as usual. If Mr. Sun comes to you, just be truthful, even about my staying here, though I suppose by now he knows that already," Xiao Yi said, looking at Chen Jianguo earnestly.

Chen Jianguo was one of Old Man Xiang’s trusted people after all. If something happened to Chen Jianguo, how could he face Old Man Xiang?
