Supreme Warrior in the City
Chapter 763 - 762

Chapter 763: 762

In the midst of everyone’s curses, Director Lin knelt on the ground, pleading incessantly, only hoping that Su Yang would spare his life.

Su Yang ignored him completely, leisurely sipping from his wine glass, savoring every drop. Meanwhile, Shen Jing’an had already sent people to investigate the location Su Yang had mentioned.

The evidence of Director Lin’s crimes would undoubtedly be uncovered.

Su Yang was in no hurry to kill him just yet; he wanted to first make Director Lin suffer complete ruin and disgrace, plunging him into the abyss and letting him endure the retribution he deserved. Only then, by killing him, would it truly be a case of evil begetting evil retribution!

It wasn’t long before a group rushed back in, these people had gone to acquire Old Fang’s company.

Leading them was Manager Wang, who excitedly approached, "Master Su, Family Head, we’ve acquired Old Fang’s company."

"Oh!" Shen Jing’an nodded in satisfaction, "How much did it cost?"

"Not much at all!" Manager Wang laughed, "All in all, less than six thousand."

"What?" Shen Jing’an was startled, and so were all the others present—what was going on?

Old Fang was also confused; he had several companies, and they were definitely worth a hundred million or so. He had been consoling himself with the thought that even if he really lost his companies, at least they were being purchased, and he’d have some money left.

But his companies had been acquired for just six thousand—what did this mean?

Could it be that the Shen Family had used their power to bully him and forced the sale at a low price on the other end?

But that didn’t seem right either. He was still here and hadn’t received any news; how could his companies be gone just like that?

"What happened?" Shen Jing’an also asked, puzzled.

"It’s like this," Manager Wang laughed, "We found that his several companies had some bad loans. Old Fang had always maneuvered through connections, so it was never resolved. So, we went to these banks, which had the companies as collateral for loans. We acquired all these companies from the banks."

"But it shouldn’t only be six thousand, right?" Shen Jing’an wondered.

Manager Wang laughed, "We did spend a lot to acquire the companies, but after acquiring them, we mortgaged them again and loaned the money back. In the end, the overhead costs, labor fees, all added up to six thousand."

Shen Jing’an chuckled. Although Manager Wang made it sound simple, he knew the operations involved were definitely not that straightforward.

It was manageable because the Shen Family had handled it personally; if it were anyone else, it would not have been so easy. Not to mention just the paperwork alone would take who knows how long to process.

But for the Shen Family to take care of this, they didn’t need to worry about these issues at all. With the Shen Family’s influence in Jiangnan Province, these matters were effortlessly resolved, with people scrambling to help them!

But Old Fang was stunned; he widened his eyes and said, "What does this mean? My... my companies are gone, and you only gave me six thousand?"

"Owner Fang, I think you’ve misunderstood," Manager Wang laughed, "Didn’t I just say it? That six thousand is all for overhead and labor costs; none of it went into your company’s account."

"What?" Old Fang was dumbfounded, "Not even six thousand?"

"That’s not all!" Manager Wang laughed, "Your company still isn’t enough to cover all the debt, so your personal accounts have also been frozen, including your private assets. If I had to estimate, by the end of this, you might be left with just a few pairs of underwear. Owner Fang, the weather is getting chilly, you better hurry and find another way out, don’t catch a cold now!"

Laughter erupted among those present; they looked at Owner Fang as though he was a fool.

Owner Fang was almost in tears; his whole life’s work, the companies he had worked so hard to build up. In Wanhu City, he was considered a person at the level of the wealthy elite. Yet now, because of Su Yang’s single remark, he had nothing left?

He did not doubt that the Shen Family indeed had the power to leave him with nothing.

But why, why did this have to happen?

Owner Fang felt an overwhelming urge to die, unable to fathom how tonight’s events could have spiraled to this point.

He had only intended to cozy up to Director Lin, just to deal with a minor employee. With Director Lin’s support and the Qi Family of Wanhu backing him, he thought there would be no issues at all.

But how could he have anticipated this turn of events?

The Qi Family of Wanhu had been scared off, Director Lin was finished, and so was he.

Just as Su Yang had said, he was not in any position to fire Hu Yong. After all, he had nothing left!

With a thud, Owner Fang suddenly fell to his knees before Su Yang, his voice trembling, "Master Su, I... I realize my mistake. Please spare me, give me another chance. I... I really didn’t mean to go against you, it was Director Lin who forced me..."

Su Yang didn’t even glance at him as he calmly said, "Owner Fang, I remember you were earlier suggesting that we should go swimming in Wanhu, weren’t you? Now that other matters have been dealt with, it seems it’s time to resolve that matter, isn’t it?"

Understanding Su Yang’s intent, Shen Jing’an immediately gestured, "Come on, let’s give Owner Fang a bath in Wanhu!"

The people from the Shen Family rushed forward and, ignoring Old Fang’s wails for mercy, threw him straight into the cold waters of Wanhu.

Though the weather was already warm, the nights were still chilly. The water in Wanhu was cold, and Old Fang shivered violently as he fell into the lake.

The onlookers all around burst into laughter. The man who had been clamoring to throw Su Yang and his company into Wanhu was finally getting a taste of his own medicine.

Zhang Aiqin’s legs trembled as she watched; she too, had vocally insisted on throwing Su Yang into Wanhu.

Fortunately for her, Su Yang did not even spare her a glance. He walked slowly back to the private room where Hu Yong and Zhang Aiyun were waiting.

Everyone’s eyes were on Su Yang. After tonight, the title of Master Su would echo throughout Wanhu City, and even Jiangnan Province.

More than that, people were now eyeing Hu Yong and his wife. These observers were well aware that they could no longer establish ties with Su Yang. However, it was different with Hu Yong and his wife—they were people of Wanhu City.

If one could get on good terms with Hu Yong and his wife, wouldn’t that be the same as connecting with Su Yang’s formidable influence?

Su Yang, after all, was a person of Heavenly Level who could make even the mighty Qi Family of Wanhu bow their heads!

Under the watchful eyes of the room, Su Yang picked up a glass of wine from the table and smiled, "To all the distinguished guests here, the prominent figures of Wanhu City, I raise my glass to you all!"

Without hesitation, everyone picked up their glasses, each face lit up with excitement, as if they felt honored to do so.

After Su Yang drank from his glass, the rest followed suit like a well-practiced routine, swiftly finishing their drinks as a sign of respect!

Setting down his glass, Su Yang said with a mild smile, "Thank you, everyone, for your kindness. Now that the wine has been drunk, there are some matters for which I would like to ask for the assistance of the distinguished guests present."
