Disciple, go down the mountain and wreak havoc on your martial sister
Chapter 41 - 41 40 You Have Quite the Temper

41: Chapter 40: You Have Quite the Temper 41: Chapter 40: You Have Quite the Temper Han Corporation is investigating its own company?!

Zheng Jiahao suddenly shuddered inside.

Family business should stay within the family.

Though Zheng Corporation appears glorious on the surface, the dirty affairs hidden underneath are not few.

Evading taxes is the least of concerns, embezzling state assets, money-for-power deals, and sex-for-power trades are the real stains.

Any one of these exposed could cause an earthquake.

If Han Corporation were to uncover these issues, the consequences would be unimaginable!

“I…

I’m going back right now.”

Zheng Jiahao didn’t dare delay and immediately called his driver to pick him up and take him home.

Seeing him in such a hurry, the underlings who had just been silent as cicadas in cold weather looked at each other in confusion.

“What’s got him so scared all of a sudden?”

“Seems like it has something to do with Chu Yi and Han Lingyue.”

“Damn, we’d better stay away from them then.

If Zheng Jiahao can be scared like this, wouldn’t it be even easier for them to come after us?”

“Right, I’m going home to delete my posts right now, so no one digs them up and settles scores after the fact.”

…

Everyone quickly scattered.

Not long after, the classmates were surprised to find that the posts mocking and attacking Chu Yi had decreased by more than half.

“What’s going on here?

Did they have a change of heart?”

“Yeah, right.

More likely, they think they’re about to be in trouble.”

“What do you mean?”

“Chu Yi is Han Lingyue’s boyfriend!

What’s Han Lingyue’s background?

Could she crush them with the flick of a hand?”

“Oh right!”

…

Seeing the various comments on the campus forum, Chu Yi immediately showed them to Han Lingyue.

“Lingyue, look, everyone now acknowledges you as my girlfriend.

Shall we just give them what they want?”

Caught by surprise during her training, Han Lingyue became flustered, “Chu, don’t joke around.”

“Oh,” Chu Yi nodded, “You continue, yes, straighten your leg…”

Watching Chu help her lift her ankle upward, Han Lingyue’s face turned a shade of red.

Just as the two were getting closer, Yue Yao walked in holding a tablet.

Upon seeing their posture and the atmosphere, Yue Yao couldn’t help but darken her expression, “Chu Yi, could you be a little more appropriate?”

“Are you jealous?”

Yue Yao’s face fell even more, “You’re thinking too much.

Why would I be jealous of you?”

“Then why are you angry?”

“I’m not angry!”

“Good, so we agree you’re not angry, right?” Chu Yi chuckled and sat down on the sofa, “Is everything I asked for ready?”

“It’s ready.”

Yue Yao placed the tablet on the coffee table and suddenly froze, “Wait, what do you mean ‘agree that I’m not angry’?

I wasn’t angry to begin with!”

“Alright, alright, whatever you say,”

As Chu Yi spoke, he turned on the tablet.

The first thing that came into view was a dossier.

Zheng Corporation’s details of improper business operations.

“Wow, they’ve done lots of shady things,”

Chu Yi casually flipped through the report, clicking his tongue inwardly.

It was impressive that Zheng Corporation had operated until today!

If these charges were proven, every implicated executive, without exception, would face at least five years in prison.

“Where’s the evidence?”

At the end, Chu Yi frowned and asked.

Without evidence, how would they give them trouble?

Yue Yao shook her head, “There’s no evidence.

If you want it, you’ll have to find it yourself.”

“You guys can’t find it?”

“Tough!

Not enough time, too many connections involved.

With our capabilities, you could only catch a few small fry at best.

I suppose you wouldn’t be happy with that, would you?”

Chu Yi nodded.

“Oh, then I’ll do it myself.”

“Possible evidence might be in another file.

If you search carefully, you should find quite a lot.

But the specifics are up to you.”

“What about Zhao Shan?”

“His information is much scarcer, you’ll still need to investigate yourself for results.”

Chu Yi leaned back on the sofa helplessly, saying, “After all is said and done, it’s still up to me to find it.”

“You could say that, after all, our Han Corporation does run into them frequently.

Even though they can’t compare with us, we still need to be cautious, so as not to cause panic over this.”

Chu Yi expressed understanding.

In business, you smile to their faces but stab them in the back.

“Alright, then I’ll take a few days off.”

Yue Yao’s mouth twitched.

Say you need leave and then just take it?

That’s too casual.

At that moment, Chu Yi asked, “Is everything I requested prepared?”

“Yes, it was just brought over.

Have a look for yourself.”

Wei Mei and Wei Lan stepped in carrying two suitcases and slowly opened them.

One case contained a full set of bulletproof vests, not the common hard plate types, but made of special materials.

They looked quite thin and light and were capable of withstanding shots from a handgun at a distance.

That would be sufficient.

As for larger caliber, like 7.62mm bullets… close up, no kind of bulletproof vest would do any good.

The other case contained the weapons Chu Yi had requested.

Tang Knives, Folding Shields, throwing darts, chain darts…

“Not bad!”

Looking at the cloud patterns specific to Shuzhou’s Wen Family on the weapons, Chu Yi nodded in satisfaction.

The Wen Family might be conservative, but their craftsmanship is indeed beyond reproach.

That very night, Chu Yi set off fully armed.

…

Zheng Family’s manor was located in the suburbs, larger than the city parks, full of green trees and lush flowers and plants, with landscape lights scattered everywhere, making the manor stunningly beautiful.

In the center of the manor stood an eight-story luxurious villa, dazzlingly opulent, home to all of the Zheng Family’s direct descendants.

At that moment, in the first-floor hall, the Zheng Family’s elders were gathered, seated on Taishi Chairs, exuding a formidable presence.

In the middle of the hall, Zheng Jiahao knelt on the ground sweating profusely, not daring to lift his head.

“Zheng Jiahao, do you realize what you’ve done wrong?” a white-haired old man said sternly.

Zheng Jiahao shuddered.

“Great-grandfather, I know I was wrong!”

“Wrong in what way?”

“Wrong in… in upsetting Han Lingyue and bringing trouble to the family.”

Zheng Jiahao stiffly explained, but as soon as he finished speaking, a heavy snort sounded.

“It seems you don’t know what you did wrong!”

Zheng Jiahao was stunned, then raised his head in bewilderment only to see his father, Zheng Qishi, mouthing the words “family precept.”

Family precept?

A flash of realization, and Zheng Jiahao finally understood.

“Great-grandfather, I erred by not strategizing before acting, making hasty decisions!”

The great-grandfather nodded.

“Exactly!

Our Zheng Family has survived for hundreds of years to this day, adhering to these eight words.

If we act, we must act decisively!”

Zheng Jiahao’s spirits immediately lifted.

“Great-grandfather, I understand.

Next time, I will give them no chance to escape…”

“It won’t be up to you.”

“Ah?”

Zheng Jiahao looked up to see his great-grandfather’s face cold as he tapped his cane.

“The Han Family may be powerful, but our Zheng Family is not to be trifled with.

They dare to encroach on us, they must pay the price!

This is no longer a matter of youngsters squabbling!”

Zheng Jiahao was stunned for several seconds before he came back to his senses.

This was gearing up for a head-on confrontation!

Just as he was excitedly about to say something, an abrupt clapping echoed from the second floor.

“Wow, the Zheng Family sure has spirit.”
