660 Count Yourself Lucky
M City seemed calm on the surface these days, but in fact, a lot of troubling things had happened.
Zhang Rong sat in his office. His head ached as he looked at the person hunched in front of him, cringing. He was so angry that his face twisted. “What did you say? Who did you beat up?”
Hearing Zhang Rong gritting his teeth, the person standing there trembled in fear. “Director Lu’s son.”
Zhang Rong threw the teacup beside him. “Imbecile! Who do you think you are to dare hit a department chief’s son?”
There was another person sitting on the sofa in the office. The person’s expression was a little unconcerned. “Boss, he’s just the son of a department chief. What’s there to be afraid of?”
Zhang Rong looked at his confidant and secretly cursed the group of idiots. “What do you know? Normally, it’d be alright. However, I heard that the supervisory team will arrive in the next few days. If that department chief has any backbone and reports this idiot to the supervisory team, my family business will be skinned!”
The more Zhang Rong thought about it, the more irate he became. He flung everything near him, scaring the person so much that he knelt on the ground with a thud. The person on the sofa also stood up with a frown.
Zhang Rong thought about it and gritted his teeth. “Liu Yi, get everyone to stop. Don’t target Chu Ning and Chu Yang for now. If anyone dares to cause trouble for me at this critical moment, I’ll make them wish they were dead.”
Liu Yi, the person sitting on the sofa, nodded. “Alright, boss. I’ll definitely give the order.” Then, he looked at the coward kneeling on the ground and frowned. “Boss, then what about him?”
Seeing Zhang Rong’s rage and the pleading eyes of the person on the ground, no matter how much Liu Yi hated this fool, he had to remember that he was his subordinate and he could not ignore him. He could only bite the bullet and plead, “Boss, spare his worthless life. At most, we’ll deal with him after the storm blows over.”
Zhang Rong didn’t even look at the kneeling person. He only leaned back heavily and said in a deep voice, “Take him away. Find a place to lock him up. We’ll talk about it after the storm passes.”
Liu Yi didn’t dare to say anything more and could only drag the man out of the office.
Zhang Rong leaned back in his chair, narrowed his eyes, and sneered, “Ha, Chu Ning, consider yourself lucky.”
The supervisory team that Zhang Rong and Chu Ning mentioned had secretly arrived in M City on the afternoon that Minister Niu and Chu Ning met.
No one from the supervisory team made a sound, nor did they meet anyone from the M City government immediately. They quietly conducted an inspection in M City.
M City was a developed city with many entertainment venues. The people in the supervisory team instantly focused on various high-end entertainment venues. Therefore, they had gotten wind on the night when Liu Yi’s subordinate had had a conflict with the department chief’s son in the nightclub.
The head of the supervisory team called someone to contact the department chief overnight to understand what had happened.
Under the investigation of the supervisory team, everything went according to the original plot. Even though Zhang Rong was well-informed, he was caught off-guard by the operation of the supervisory team. Not to mention, Zhou Hao was providing support. By the time Zhang Rong reacted, a lot of evidence had been collected.
Chu Yang and the others had stopped early, and they usually paid more attention to developing in secret. This investigation did not implicate their main force, and only some corners were cleaned up.
As for the Rongwei Group, under the supervisory team’s vigorous investigation, they suffered heavy losses. Two of Zhang Rong’s confidants were even arrested.
When Zhang Rong found out that Zhou Hao had contributed to his current situation, he was so enraged that he almost gritted his teeth. However, he had no choice but to hide and only cause trouble for Zhou Hao in business-related matters. He wanted to bite off a piece of his flesh.
No matter what kind of bloody storm was brewing in M City, Chu Ning was not in a hurry to do anything. She stayed at home every day, cooked for her parents, chatted with them, and took walks. Even Yan Shen said that she seemed to be living the life of an elderly woman.
Chu Ning listened to the news that Zhang Bo had sent her. The Rongwei Group had sacrificed their own arm to protect their commander, and the stock market had also plummeted.
Upon hearing such good news, Chu Ning was so exhilarated that she ate an extra bowl of rice. If it wasn’t for the fact that the timing wasn’t right and she didn’t have enough funds, Chu Ning would have destroyed the Rongwei Group.
