"Damned useless fools! You messed up the job and even cost me a car! Did you grow up eating shit?" Gao Jinlong roared at Brother Qiang and Red-Haired, who hung their heads in submission, but inwardly they grumbled, "Damn it, we almost lost our lives, and all you care about is your broken car!"
After Brother Qiang and Red-Haired's car flew off, they were stunned and didn't know what was happening below. If it was a cliff or something, they would be done for. Fortunately, Brother Qiang reacted quickly; when the car was falling, he looked down and saw the bright river water below, realizing there was still hope. He hurriedly reminded Red-Haired to unbuckle his seatbelt and open the door. They jumped out just as the car plunged into the river. Luckily, the riverbank wasn't far from the opposite shore, and they struggled to swim ashore like drowned rats before quickly taking a taxi back to H City to report to Gao Jinlong.
"You two useless fools messed up such a simple task. You tell me what to do now," Gao Jinlong said ominously.
Brother Qiang and Red-Haired shivered; they knew Gao Jinlong's methods well. He originally came from a rough background and only started doing business after making money in real estate, trying to clean up his image. However, his inherent ruthlessness had not changed, so he still kept a group of thugs under him. If things couldn't be done openly, he would resort to underhanded means; if softness didn't work, he would use force. This was Gao Jinlong's consistent style. If he wanted to kill them, it would be easy; he could just find a rock and sink them in the river—who would know?
Brother Qiang and Red-Haired trembled in fear and quickly knelt on the ground, saying, "Dragon Lord... please give us one more chance. We will definitely bring that woman to see you..."
Gao Jinlong glanced sideways at the two kneeling subordinates and pondered for a moment before saying, "Then I'll give you another chance. If you mess this up again, I'll turn you into concrete pillars for building!"
"Yes, yes! Please rest assured, Dragon Lord. We will definitely get it done this time." The clothes on their backs were soaked with sweat; they knew that if they failed again, they might truly end up as concrete pillars.
"How about this? Bring A Biao and A-Hu along too. Remember to take them directly to the Cement Factory in the North Suburb. I'll handle the rest myself!" Gao Jinlong coldly ordered.
"Yes, Dragon Lord." Brother Qiang and Red-Haired left.
Gao Jinlong leaned back in his tall boss chair, squinting as he sinisterly said, "A little girl dares to play games with me? Even your father Shu Junxing is nothing in my eyes." After saying this, he instructed someone standing nearby, "Go find Lawyer Zhang and have him draft a transfer agreement."
...
Xin Yi first arrived at Beng Hu Lian for an inspection. Zhong Kai's training methods did not satisfy Xin Yi; they were just standard training techniques for ordinary troops. At this rate, even if they trained someone up, they wouldn't become elite soldiers. However, Xin Yi couldn't personally lead training every day; the Three Tiger Group was gradually showing signs of improvement, but many matters still required his direct involvement. He needed to find a capable person quickly; otherwise, this batch of people might be overlooked. Frowning, Xin Yi left the training ground.
Before noon, he drove to Junxing Group's building and headed straight for Shu Rui's office. In the hallway, he ran into Shu Rui's secretary who looked anxious. The secretary recognized Xin Yi and nodded at him, saying, "Mr. Xin is here, but the general manager is not in the company."
"Oh? Where has President Shu gone?" Xin Yi asked upon noticing the secretary's urgency.
"Mr. Xin," the secretary hesitated, clearly considering whether or not to share this matter with Xin Yi.
Seeing the secretary's expression, Xin Yi felt a shift in his heart and said, "I am not only a partner of President Shu but also a good friend. I came today to return her car." Xin Yi shook the car keys in his hand as he spoke.
The secretary then said, "The general manager and Assistant Wang went to Building 3 today to inspect the work. The workers are moving in there, and they went to check the situation, but they haven't returned yet. This morning, a client came to see the general manager, but I've been trying to reach her on her mobile phone, and it's turned off. Assistant Wang's phone is also off, and the person we sent to look for them hasn't come back either. I really don't know what to do."
Just then, the elevator doors opened, and a young man rushed over, sweating profusely. He said urgently, "Li Secretary, I went to check the construction site. The workers there said that the general manager and her team just took a quick look around and came back. However... I saw Assistant Wang's car parked not far from the construction site entrance on my way back, but there was no one in the car, and the windows were shattered."
Hearing this, Xin Yi's heart sank; something must have gone wrong. It turned out that last night's stalking was indeed aimed at Shu Rui. But who could it be? Suddenly, Xin Yi recalled the fat man's fierce gaze at the auction yesterday—yes, Golden Dragon Group.
Xin Yi rushed into Shu Rui's office, picked up the phone on the desk, dialed a number, and after just one ring, it was answered by a hearty voice: "Xiao Xin, what's going on?"
"Brother Three, I need you to investigate someone—a fat man from Golden Dragon Group in H City. I suspect he might be involved in kidnapping. I need to know where he would keep someone if he were to do that," Xin Yi hurriedly explained.
"Okay, give me twenty minutes," came the reply before the line went dead.
Xin Yi had no choice but to wait in Shu Rui's office, feeling anxious. He thought that perhaps he should buy a mobile phone; he had always been resistant to it—not only because it could expose his whereabouts during missions but also because it made him feel like he had nowhere to hide. He preferred tranquility and disliked being disturbed at any time or place. However, now it seemed that having a phone could be beneficial; for instance, he could accomplish many things during this twenty-minute wait.
After about ten minutes, the phone rang. Xin Yi picked up the receiver as Brother Three said on the other end: "The boss of Golden Dragon Group in H City is Gao Jinlong—a fat man with a round face and big ears. He has a background as a thug and is ruthless; he has at least ten murders under his belt. He conducts illegal activities in two places: one is the basement of God of Song Nightclub in H City where they punish disobedient women; the other is an abandoned cement factory in North Suburb of H City where he generally deals with rivals."
"Thank you, Brother Three!" Xin Yi said before hanging up and rushing downstairs. He never doubted the information provided by Brother Three; he represented one of the most authoritative intelligence agencies. Although Xin Yi didn't know where Brother Three got his information from, he believed that he must have an extensive and detailed network—this was evident from the fact that there had been no mistakes in any of his intelligence over the past ten years.
Xin Yi jumped into his top-notch SUV and sped towards H City.
At the entrance of the abandoned cement factory in North Suburb of H City, a white van stopped. A red-haired man got out and directly opened the large gate of the cement factory as the vehicle drove inside.
At a corner near the side of the cement factory, a taxi quietly pulled up. A man who looked like a laborer got out of the car as it turned around and left.
In an abandoned factory within the Cement Factory, a red-haired man opened the car door, and two fierce-looking men escorted two frail young women out of the vehicle. The two young women, blindfolded with black cloth, were immediately locked inside a deserted room, and the door was secured. The two men stood guard at the entrance while another man wandered around the factory. One of them pulled out a phone and spoke, "Dragon Lord, it's A Biao. Yes, everything is taken care of. Don't worry, it will be done cleanly and swiftly. Alright, please come quickly."
The ones locked in the room were Shu Rui and Wang Fang, who had been inspecting Building 3 earlier that morning. After checking that everything was in order at the construction site, they drove back to the company. However, shortly after leaving, a white van suddenly blocked their path at an intersection. Wang Fang thought it was just a traffic incident, but as soon as she got out of the car, three men jumped out and dragged her into their vehicle. Seeing this, Shu Rui quickly locked the car doors and reached for her phone to call for help when one of the men smashed the window with a large wrench and pulled her out as well. After shoving Shu Rui into the van, one man snatched their phones and blindfolded them before driving them to this location. Throughout the journey, they kept asking questions, but no one responded.
Behind the Cement Factory's wall, a laborer crept to a corner, retreated a few meters, then took a few steps back for a running jump over the wall. He crouched on top to observe the situation inside before silently dropping down and stealthily making his way along the back wall of the factory until he reached a broken window. At that moment, someone inside was standing by the window. The laborer clenched his fist tightly, ready to strike when he heard two honks from outside the main gate. The person inside turned to another and said, "Dragon Lord has arrived," then hurriedly ran out to open the door.
After a while, two vehicles drove in; from the front car emerged a heavyset man accompanied by two muscular bodyguards. The bulges at their waists clearly indicated they were carrying firearms. Four more burly men followed behind them; they all looked like seasoned fighters. The laborer quickly withdrew his head back.
Gao Jinlong had Red Hair unlock the door and entered the room with a hearty laugh: "Hahaha, President Shu! I didn't expect we'd meet again so soon! Hahaha..."
Shu Rui and Wang Fang had their blindfolds removed and upon hearing Gao Jinlong's words, Shu Rui's expression hardened as she coldly replied, "Who are you? What is your purpose in bringing us here?"
Gao Jinlong chuckled again: "President Shu really has a short memory! We just met at yesterday's auction; how could you forget so quickly?"
Of course, Shu Rui remembered him; she just chose not to acknowledge it. She wanted him to say it himself—this was about maintaining her composure. Even though she had been kidnapped, she could still assert herself. Indeed, Gao Jinlong paused for a moment; he felt embarrassed since he had made several high bids at the auction only to be ignored.
However, now that he had them in his grasp, he wasn't angry; he merely laughed awkwardly and said: "It doesn't matter if you don't recognize me as long as I know who you are—and your father Shu Junxing too. I know old Shu only has one precious daughter like you. If anything were to happen to you, I believe old Shu would be devastated! Hahaha! What do you think, President Shu?"
