Car-hailing Driver: Rewards from Complaints-Chapter 317 - 178: The Struggle for Power Is Always Brutal—Victory Belongs to the King, an Eternal Truth
Faced with inquiries from the prominent figures, Li Baoqing felt panic-stricken.
Zhang Juan thought quickly, immediately retreating quietly into the crowd, then turned around and left the auditorium, hurrying to the lounge to find Yang Chen.
"Mr. Yang, I’ve thought it over carefully and feel it’s better to meet your demands. I just have one brother and certainly can’t watch something happen to him. But my husband will definitely not agree to sell you the shares, so we need to talk somewhere else. Here’s your phone back, let’s leave now and find a quiet place to talk. Is that okay?" Zhang Juan said shrewdly.
She thought that as long as she tricked Yang Chen into leaving, the injuries on him would be unexplainable.
But she didn’t consider why Yang Chen would willingly get beaten up. How could he possibly leave with her?
Yang Chen smiled as he turned on his phone, Qiu Yuhong’s call immediately came in.
Zhang Juan snatched the phone to hang up the call and shut it off again.
"Mr. Yang, why push things to a breaking point? Let’s talk elsewhere, you want the shares in my hand? I can give them to you, even for free, as long as you don’t report my brother. Okay?" Zhang Juan said.
Yang Chen put on a puzzled look and said, "What shares? I don’t understand what you’re saying. Vice President Zhang, you’d better give my phone back to me, your actions of restraining my personal freedom and seizing my phone have already constituted a crime."
Zhang Juan thought to herself, "Damn it, he’s highly alert, I’ve wasted my recording."
What a joke, with a brilliant lawyer friend like Zhang Xiang, this little trick can’t fool them.
On the other side, Qiu Yuhong called Yang Chen again but found the phone was turned off.
Qiu Yuhong sensed something was wrong, immediately questioning, "Li Baoqing, where is Mr. Yang? Why was his phone answering earlier but then got hung up, and now it’s turned off? What did you do to Mr. Yang?"
Zhang Xiang, worried about Yang Chen’s safety, immediately said, "Li Baoqing, if you dare harm Mr. Yang, I assure you I’ll sue you until Baoqing Restaurant goes bankrupt! Chairman Qiu, Mr. Yang discovered that Li Baoqing’s brother-in-law Zhang Jun switched the company’s purchased wild groupers and sold them for profit. Li Baoqing is definitely afraid that the truth will come out and doesn’t want Mr. Yang to meet us, so he wants to control him!"
Qiu Yuhong was shocked and stepped forward, grabbing Li Baoqing by the collar, glaring and warning, "Li Baoqing, I’m warning you, if Mr. Yang loses even a single hair, I’ll make sure your family never knows peace! Now take me to find him, immediately!"
Li Baoqing was bewildered, asking, "Brother Hong, why do you care so much about him?"
"Cut the crap! He is our... you don’t need to know! Just take me to find him now, don’t force me to take action against you!" Qiu Yuhong replied.
Li Baoqing knew very well how fierce the Shield Security Group was.
Xue Yinong, worried about Yang Chen’s safety, also warned, "Mr. Li, Mr. Yang is a very close friend of mine. If you dare harm him, the Xue Family will use all its strength to make sure Baoqing Group is doomed!"
Huang Wenkang: "Mr. Yang is the second-largest shareholder of our Peninsula Hotel, Mr. Li had better not challenge us."
Zhang Long: "I’ve interacted with Mr. Yang, and although our first meeting was quite confrontational, Mr. Li, if you really harm him, I don’t know what my dad will do, but I will certainly join them in dealing with Baoqing Group."
Liang Xiuyun: "Although we are a United States-based company, if Mr. Yang needs us, we will certainly do our utmost!"
Well, what a situation, originally they were all here to talk investment and shares with Li Baoqing, but now it’s turned into threats to not harm Yang Chen.
Only now did Li Baoqing realize how powerful Yang Chen was, and he understood he had provoked someone he shouldn’t have. He knew he couldn’t escape it, so he had to take everyone to find Yang Chen.
However, even now Li Baoqing didn’t know how severe the situation was, although he had done things much worse before and nothing happened.
He thought at worst he’d host a banquet to apologize to Yang Chen, and the matter would blow over.
Back in the days when he was causing trouble, any conflicts that couldn’t be resolved were settled with a banquet.
Everyone in the auditorium looked at each other, confused.
"What’s the situation? What did the chairman do for so many people to scare him?"
"Didn’t you hear them constantly mentioning Mr. Yang? The chairman must have hidden Mr. Yang, and these people are here to find him."
"Damn, who is this Mr. Yang to have such influence, to have so many people come looking for him?"
"Isn’t he possibly our company’s second-largest shareholder? I saw him in the store before, and he does have the surname Yang. Did the chairman do something to him?"
"It looks like it’s serious. Will our company face a huge problem?"
...
A group of people arrived at the lounge.
Everyone saw Yang Chen with his face marked by injuries, and immediately rushed forward to express concern.
Qiu Yuhong: "Mr. Yang, how are you? Is it serious?"
Xue Yinong: "Mr. Yang, how are you? Do you need to go to the hospital?"
Zhang Xiang hurried and said, "Everyone, step aside, I need to take pictures for evidence and then take Mr. Yang to have his injuries examined."
Everyone stepped aside, Zhang Xiang took a few photos of Yang Chen, then said to Qiu Yuhong, "Chairman Qiu, arrange for people to escort us to get the injuries examined."
Qiu Yuhong nodded and said, "No problem! My people are downstairs, let’s go!"
Li Baoqing was dumbfounded. Was it necessary to go through official procedures?
Are they really going to examine the injuries?
This felt like overkill.
Still, Li Baoqing hadn’t understood Yang Chen’s intentions nor realized the seriousness of the situation.
