“Oh, really? Because you have the Tang family’s protection, you have less trouble on ordinary days, right? Our Tang family has yet to ask for protection fees from you! And the guilty party is tuning around to accuse us first? There are even some people who use the Tang family’s name to cheat others. Do

you think I don’t know? The old man already knew about it. He is just giving you face.”

Luo Xiangwen looked at them. A few of them lowered their heads guiltily. Needless to say, he was talking about them.

‘The middle-aged man straightened his back and said, “Then you can make the people who have done this cut off the partnership with Lu Ming Corporation. In any case, I didn’t do anything to let down your Tang family! If you can’t come up with a reason to convince me, I won’t agree!”

“Lagree with you. The Tang family is very powerful and has countless businesses under your name. Of course, you don’t lack this bit of money, but we all have families to support, unlike you! I think we should just forget about this matter, don’t you think?”

“That’s right! We’ve all adhered to your Tang family’s agreement, but no matter what, you have to see the situation before you say such things, right? Do you really not treat money as money? We don’t know what grudge the Tang family has against the Lu Ming Corporation, but we don’t want to know!

Let’s leave it at that.”

Luo Xiangwen’s gaze turned cold, and the atmosphere that had warmed up became icy again. “Do you think I’m discussing this with you? This time, even if you don’t want to agree, you have to! Otherwise, I won’t let you leave here!”

Isn’t this a blatant threat? they thought.

“Mr. Luo, are you trying to detain us? This is a society governed by law!”

The middle-aged man reminded him.

Luo Xiangwen said coldly, “You’re talking about law with the Tang family? Why are you dreaming? If you don’t want someone you cherish to be hurt, I advise you to do as I say, or else

Thave thousands of ways to make you wish you were dead.”

‘The middle-aged man was furious. He slammed the table and said, “Luo Xiangwen! Don’t go too far!”

“Too far?”

Luo Xiangwen propped his chin and said, “I don’t think it’s too far. In case you don’t believe me, I’ll show you a few good things.”

‘As soon as he finished speaking, he took out a brown envelope from his pocket and flung it casually. The photos inside spilled out. There was a little girl holding a doll, and a wealthy woman doing nails.

“As for the breach of contract, the Tang family can help pay the compensation. How about it? I’m not too bad to you, right? Or… Are you going to give up the lives of important people for a strange company? Maybe you’ll have to pay with your lives too.”

He drummed on the table rhythmically and said eagerly, “If someone wants to die, I won’t stop you. But I want you to think carefully. Is it really worth doing this? Or do you want to play with me without looking back?”

Play?

‘They were afraid of losing their lives.

Everyone knew that Luo Xiangwen was a ruthless person. He did things according to his preferences and was not afraid of gang fights.

Seeing that he was serious, the middle-aged man said reluctantly, “Alright, I agree, but I hope the Tang family can abide by the agreement and not hurt my family!”

“Of course, we’re all in the same boat!”

Who the f*ck would be willing to be in the same boat as a crazy dog? they thought.

Soon after, the others agreed, one after another. No one was willing to take a huge risk to cause trouble for the Tang family, but it was such a waste of opportunity.

Shanghai.

While He Xiaopeng was doing his research, his phone rang, He wiped off the oil on his hands and picked up the call. “Mr. Yin, is there anything else?”

“Sorry, I think we should forget about the cooperation previously. I’ll transfer the compensation to your account.”

With that, the other party hung up.

He Xiaopeng stood there dumbfounded. He quickly called the other party but could not get through.

He wondered what was going on.

They had agreed on this previously. At that time, the other party was very happy.

Why did he change his mind so quickly?

Without thinking too much, he quickly said to his working partner, “I have something to do, so I’m going out.” Then he ran away without looking back.

Xia Heng looked up and asked curiously, “What’s so urgent? Is the boss looking for him?”

“Boss has been busy going everywhere recently. How could he have time to look for Brother Peng? You’ll know when he comes back later.”

He Tao’s hands were nimbly assembling machines.

On the other side, He Xiaopeng went straight to Mr. Yin’s house. He panted and said, “Please, please give me a reason for canceling our partnership. Weren’t we fine when we were talking? Why would you rather compensate us for breach of contract than continue the partnership?”

Mr. Yin looked at him in surprise. It had not been long since they formed a partnership but he had come personally.

“Aye, come in.”

When He Xiaopeng called, he did not pick up his calls because he wanted him to give up voluntarily. Who knew that he would come here?

After the two of them sat on the sofa, He Xiaopeng asked impatiently, “Mr. Yin, can you tell me? Is the price too low or something? I can increase the price.”

Seeing that the timeline was getting tight, he did not have the time to collaborate with other companies at all. Why did he have to cancel at such a time? Wasn’t this messing with him?

“No, no, no. The price is quite good. I’m deeply honored to be working with your company.”

Mr. Yin smiled helplessly and said, “But I just don’t want to collaborate anymore. You should understand what I mean, right?”

Ordinary people would probably relent after hearing this, but He Xiaopeng was different. He simply did not walk the normal path.

“Tdon’t understand! You also think that there’s no problem, so why did you cancel the contract?”

Mr. Yin saw that he was very adamant in pressing him for an explanation and thought to himself, “This guy is really hard to deal with.” He also felt that it was strange. This morning, the headquarters suddenly called him and told him to use any means to cancel the partnership with Lu Ming Corporation.

They did not even tell him the reason.

How would he know?

“Alright, but I’ve already made up my mind to terminate the contract. Sorry, I’ll have to trouble you to find someone else.”

“Do you want to reconsider? Our company has very good prospects…”

Mr. Yin interrupted He Xiaopeng and said, “But I can’t work with you. I probably can’t afford to work with you. You can leave now. I have other things to do.”

The other party had already given the order to leave, so He Xiaopeng could not say anything else. He had no choice but to leave. The moment he was about to leave the villa, he said, “Think carefully again..”
