Zhang Yang and others were dining in the Lakeview Private Room on the second floor of Azure Lake Tower. Meanwhile, on the third floor of Azure Lake Tower, in the spacious Lakeview Private Room, only three people were seated.
"Congratulations on the Wu Squad being seconded to the Provincial Department for assistance. What's next, are you planning to stay?" Zhao Pengfei raised his glass and asked.
"I just got rid of the 'deputy' title above my head; how could it happen so quickly?" The speaker was Wu Liangdong, the Southern District Security Team Leader of Haizhou City.
"Whether it happens quickly or not depends on what the leaders of the Provincial Department say. I think there’s still a chance," another middle-aged man raised his glass. He was Xiao Hansheng, Chairman of Kangbao Group, who had spent ten million to buy Black Orchid from Zhang Yang.
"Mr. Xiao is wealthy and influential, while the Wu Squad holds important positions. It's just people like me, a flat-top commoner, who are always bullied," Zhao Pengfei sighed as he set down his glass.
"Zhao, who is bullying you?" Wu Liangdong asked.
"Wu Squad, don’t listen to him joking. In Shan City Shanhuzone, who would dare bully him?" Xiao Hansheng waved his hand. Although Wu Liangdong was meeting Zhao Pengfei for the first time through Xiao Hansheng, he knew that Xiao Hansheng was wealthy and would never associate with an ordinary businessman. He couldn't help but say, "Zhao..."
"I haven't had a chance to tell you yet; Zhao is the son of Secretary Zhao from the Shanhu District Committee," Xiao Hansheng immediately interjected, understanding.
"What son? It's one thing to avoid offending him; it's another to bow down and apologize to a college freshman," Zhao Pengfei raised his glass and drank it all in one go.
Under the inquiries of Xiao Hansheng and Wu Liangdong, Zhao Pengfei recounted the events that had transpired, naturally mentioning Zhang Yang's name.
"Again, it's Zhang Yang?" Xiao Hansheng and Wu Liangdong almost spoke in unison.
"You know him?" Zhao Pengfei exclaimed in surprise.
"From your description of how he injured over a dozen of your top subordinates, it seems his skills have improved. The most annoying part is that he has also joined Heavenly Mechanism Group," Wu Liangdong said.
"I found out that he is just an intern at the Heavenly Mechanism Group. Besides, no matter how powerful the Heavenly Mechanism Group is, it's still a department; they can't do whatever they want," Zhao Pengfei said resentfully.
"That's true. I've heard that the Heavenly Mechanism Group punishes employees for illegal activities even more severely, and they are ruthless when it comes to pursuing criminal responsibility. If we have any dirt on this kid, we can still take him down," Xiao Hansheng replied.
"Mr. Xiao, we've both suffered losses because of this kid. Why are you so furious?" Wu Liangdong asked. "Is it because of the million spent?"
"That amount of money isn't much to me, and I got a good deal on the Black Orchid. The key point is that I only found out about his background after spending the money. To be honest with you both, he and I have a grudge that dates back twenty years," Xiao Hansheng said as he lit a cigarette and spoke slowly.
"Mr. Xiao is joking; twenty years ago, he was still in his father's ball sack. Did you have a grudge with his father?" Wu Liangdong interjected.
"Exactly, it’s a grudge with his father, Zhang Zhijie. A debt owed by the father must be repaid by the son; where else can it go?" Xiao Hansheng crushed the cigarette butt heavily.
A wisp of smoke rose, and a segment of smoky past began to grind slowly in Xiao Hansheng's heart...
Twenty years ago, Xiao Hansheng was an ordinary worker at Haizhou Leather Factory. He came from a poor family and earned a meager salary, but he worked hard and was in good spirits because he was in love with the factory's beauty, Yang Shuman.
However, this state of happiness was short-lived. When Yang Shuman's parents learned that Xiao Hansheng was just a poor boy, they firmly opposed their relationship.
Facing Yang Shuman's parents, Xiao Hansheng made a solemn vow to them: give him three years, and he would make something of himself. Unfortunately, Yang Shuman's parents did not agree at all and demanded that she immediately cut ties with him. Yang Shuman agreed on the surface but secretly continued to see Xiao Hansheng.
"Lack of money" became a heavy burden on Xiao Hansheng's heart. Ultimately, he colluded with outsiders and plotted against the leather factory, stealing leather to sell. The person responsible for external sales was a thug named Feng San, who had a notorious reputation. One time, after getting drunk, he severely injured someone and happened to fall into the hands of then-detective Zhang Zhijie.
After investigating the case, Zhang Zhijie pried open Feng San's mouth and followed the clues to uncover this theft ring. As a result, Xiao Hansheng was naturally arrested as well. At that time, there was a crackdown on crime; Xiao Hansheng's gang had stolen a significant amount of goods, leading to him being sentenced to ten years in prison.
After Xiao Hansheng was arrested and imprisoned, Zhang Zhijie went to investigate at his girlfriend Yang Shuman's home. After getting acquainted, Yang Shuman repeatedly sought Zhang Zhijie's help for leniency in sentencing, but Zhang Zhijie was known for his strictness against evil and impartiality; all her efforts were in vain. Upon learning of Xiao Hansheng's imprisonment, Yang Shuman's parents felt relieved. At the same time, facing the police officer Zhang Zhijie who came to investigate, Yang Shuman's parents suddenly felt that this young man was quite good and actively tried to matchmake between them.
Finally, after a year in prison, Yang Shuman married Zhang Zhijie. They had a son after marriage, and since the father’s surname is Zhang and the mother’s surname is Yang, they named him Zhang Yang based on phonetics and common vocabulary.
Ten years later, Xiao Hansheng was released from prison. The world had changed, and facing the grudge of being imprisoned and losing his wife, Xiao Hansheng was naturally filled with rage. However, as a former inmate, what could he do? Fortunately, during his time in prison, Xiao Hansheng had made connections with several "powerful individuals." He followed them to Shanzhou and started a logistics business that engaged in bullying and extortion, which surprisingly led to his wealth, eventually expanding into more industries.
At this time, Yang Shuman's parents had passed away. Xiao Hansheng, now a wealthy man in Shanzhou, still harbored ill intentions. He quietly returned to Haizhou to meet Yang Shuman. Shortly after, Zhang Zhijie died in a car accident. Yang Shuman shockingly abandoned her son Zhang Yang, who was still in elementary school, with his grandmother and followed Xiao Hansheng back to Shanzhou.
After spending ten million to buy Black Orchid from Zhang Yang, Xiao Hansheng began investigating Zhang Yang's identity. To his astonishment, the little kid from back then had already grown up. Coincidentally, when he met Wu Liangdong, he learned that Zhang Yang had become quite formidable. Now that Zhang Yang had joined the Heavenly Mechanism Group, dealing with him would not be easy.
After reconciling with Yang Shuman, Xiao Hansheng told her that everything was part of Zhang Zhijie's schemes, which left Yang Shuman feeling resentful. After Yang Shuman left, Zhang Yang's grandmother was extremely angry and vowed not to let Yang Shuman have any contact with Zhang Yang. Thus, even though there were still maternal feelings in Yang Shuman's heart, they never saw each other again after their separation.
As for everything regarding Zhang Yang, Xiao Hansheng naturally kept it from Yang Shuman. Over the years, the mother and son had grown estranged to the point of being like strangers. Zhang Yang had no idea where his mother had gone, while Yang Shuman was unaware that Zhang Yang had ended up in Shanzhou.
"Mr. Xiao? Mr. Xiao?" Wu Liangdong noticed that Xiao Hansheng was lost in thought and gently waved his hand in front of him.
"Huh?" Xiao Hansheng finally came back to his senses and said: "Zhang Yang's father, Zhang Zhijie, was a police officer back then; I fell into his hands! Seeking revenge on his son is only natural." Naturally, Xiao Hansheng would not reveal the complicated relationship he had with Zhang Yang and simply brushed it off.
"That's right; it seems our goals align. We are all here for revenge. Come on, let's toast for the Avengers!" Zhao Pengfei raised his glass, thinking that with these two allies by his side, how could Zhang Yang have a good life?
