Chapter 450 - Bandits

“You don’t care about the authority of the old leader! You don’t even care about the old leader. Do you want to go to heaven? Or are you already planning to rebel? That’s right. I’m just an insignificant police officer. I’ve been with the old leader for more than 10 years at most. You’ve grown ambitious and my words are useless!”

How could this be as serious as Fang Tiancheng made it sound? Moreover, he used the old leader as an excuse as a matter of course. So… How many times has Fang Tiancheng used this trick to trick us? When they thought that they might have inadvertently become his tool, they were instinctively shocked!

Oh, if their old leader dug up the past, wouldn’t they be finished? Hence, their hatred for Fang Tiancheng deepened! They were fine as the chief. If not for Fang Tiancheng, they wouldn’t be in this state! Just thinking about it made their hearts ache!

Seeing that no one answered him, Fang Tiancheng’s emotions became even more intense. He slammed the table and said, “Why aren’t you saying anything? Do you think I said something wrong? I think you really don’t want to work anymore! You actually secretly accepted Lu Ming’s bribe behind my back. Aren’t you afraid that I’ll report it to the old leader and make you unable to enter the official organization for the rest of your lives?!”

Tang Wenyi echoed, “That’s right! Do you know how much money we lost because of this sudden incident!? Even if we sell you off, we won’t be able to make up for our losses this time! According to my budget projection, we can still earn about 150 million yuan. In the end, not only did we not earn a single cent, we even lost everything!”

She was really speechless! Why are there two useless teammates?!

Fang Tiancheng followed closely behind and said, “I’m also curious. What benefits did Lu Ming give you that you would rather go against your old leader and risk offending me to help him? Did he give you shares or tens of millions of yuan? If you can give me conditions that satisfy me, I don’t mind letting you off.”

He was already good enough to Lu Ming! If he wasn’t willing to give the shares to him, he would get them from somewhere else. As long as it could offset the shares he wanted back then, he didn’t mind giving Lu Ming a way out! But Tang Wenyi was not pleased! She wanted Lu Ming to absolutely die! She thought, Back then, wasn’t I the same as Fang Tiancheng? Didn’t I think that Lu Ming wouldn’t escape from my grasp? In the end, I suffered a huge setback.

She was sure that Lu Ming had guessed that Fang Tiancheng was also the mastermind. As long as he was given a few moments to catch his breath, their entire ship would capsize! She could not let Fang Tiancheng ruin her bright future! Thinking of this, she sowed discord by saying, “I think the two of you should have already transferred a portion of your assets, right? What can you take out now?”

The reason she said that was to arouse Fang Tiancheng’s suspicion of them! With his greedy personality, they would probably lose their positions as chiefs if they did not pay him handsomely.

As expected, Fang Tiancheng really fell for it! He narrowed his eyes and said, “I can roughly guess the amount Lu Ming gave you, so don’t think about playing any tricks with me. With Lu Ming Corporation’s generosity, they definitely won’t treat you badly! At least not less than this!”

He held up his thumb and forefinger.

80 million?!

Chief Zhao and Chen Jianxin looked at each other. Where did they get the courage to accept such a large sum? The latter shrugged helplessly and said, “I’m sorry, we really didn’t accept a single cent from Lu Ming.”

“Bullsh*t! Do I look like a fool to you?! Hurry up and hand over the money!”

Fang Tiancheng did not hide his motive at all. He was just like a bandit!

Chief Zhao looked troubled. After pondering for a moment, he finally exhaled slowly and said, “Why don’t we order tea first? The tea leaves in Baohua Restaurant are quite famous. It’s not easy for you and Miss Tang to come out with us. How about having a more relaxed atmosphere first?”

“I don’t have that much time to waste with you! If you can’t hand over the money, then don’t even think about going to work tomorrow! It’s not worth ruining your own future for a brat! I think I’ve made myself clear…”

Before he could finish, he heard the sound of a walking stick hitting the ground. “Ruining your own future? Not worth it? Fang Tiancheng, you’re very arrogant! I didn’t expect that the young man who was very nervous when he saw me back then would become like this. You’ve really disappointed me!”

Fang Tiancheng instinctively wanted to retort, but the obedience entrenched in him made him unable to say a word. He looked at the two people who walked out from the next door as if he had seen a ghost! He saw a handsome young man in a white T-shirt and light-colored jeans supporting an old man in a white coat as he approached them!

Why… Why is the old leader here?

His legs couldn’t help but go weak. If not for his right hand gripping the chair tightly, he would have knelt down!

“It has been a long time, Mr. Fang.”

Lu Ming greeted him with a smile.

He had seen everything just now. When Fang Tiancheng said those arrogant words, the old leader almost couldn’t help but rush out. However, it was understandable. He thought that his subordinates who had followed him for so many years were his trusted subordinates, but he didn’t expect them to be so dirty!

Fang Tiancheng’s behavior this time was simply beyond his expectations. At first, he was worried that the other party would be too cautious and unwilling to reveal more information. Now, it seemed that he was overthinking.

That made sense. Fang Tiancheng had been arrogant for so many years. He probably never dreamed that he would fail one day, right?

He looked at the other party’s incredulous face and couldn’t help but laugh in his heart. Evil people would be punished by the heavens. Sometimes, heaven only needed a little help. For example, he had specially set this up. Fang Tiancheng bringing Tang Wenyi here was a blessing from the heavens! It was a buy-one-get-one-free deal. It saved him from having to redo his plan to deal with Tang Wenyi.

He didn’t believe that the old leader would let the Tang family stay in the capital safely! With such great ambition, even a fool knew that they would definitely be a disaster in the future. However, looking at Tang Wenyi’s expression, she probably still didn’t know that she had already dragged the Tang family down with her. They were not any better though.

“What a coincidence to meet you and Miss Tang here.”

Coincidence my *ss!

Fang Tiancheng’s face was pale as he cursed inwardly. If he said that this was not premeditated, he would not believe it even if he was beaten to death! He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but nothing came out. He knew that he was completely finished this time! Not long ago, he had given a fake order in front of the old leader. As long as the other party wanted to investigate, wouldn’t everything be exposed?

Unfortunately, Tang Wenyi did not notice that the atmosphere was wrong at all. She still said domineeringly, “Who the f*ck are you?!”
