Chapter 648: Donghai's Sun Family
"Come in!" said Yang Ming.
The door opened. Li Qiang, Liu Chao, Wang Peng, and Lu Xinyang snuck in. In their hands, they were still holding three people who were tied up.
"Boss, the mission was successfully completed. The four venues belonging to the Money Gang have been all cleared. The Golden Enterprise Building has been occupied by our people! There are no casualties in this operation!" Li Qiang said loudly.
However, Guo Jinbiao's face over there had turned completely pale! If there was only one person who stood up and said that the Money Gang's venues were cleared and the headquarters was occupied, he certainly wouldn't have believed it!
Why? It was very simple. It was an incredibly big enterprise with a healthy number of people and a strong foundation. Moreover, Jidun City was the Money Gang's land. How could someone just take it over so easily? So, Guo Jinbiao would think that this person was just bragging!
But now it wasn't. The reason was the three people who were tied up were his own right-hand men together with his military leader! These three people were his key individuals. If they were all caught at the same time, what the whole situation indicated was self-evident.
"You... you dared not obey the unspoken rules of the underworld..." Guo Jinbiao was completely scared this time. Yes, with Yang Ming's posture today, it was almost guaranteed that Yang Ming wouldn't let him go!
"Unspoken rules of the underworld?" Yang Ming was immediately elated after he heard it. "What are the unspoken rules of the underworld? You wanted to scare me and stated that you and father-in-law would come and conquer my territory. How come in a split moment it became me who didn't oblige with the unspoken rules of the underworld?"
Guo Jinbiao's face changed over and over again. He would have never thought about such a result like today. Yes, what Yang Ming said was right. What are the unspoken rules of the underworld? Those are all just to fool people. The truth in the underworld is that winners are the king!
"Little brother... No, Big Brother Yang. I was wrong at the start. I didn't figure out the truth and rushed to ask for compensation. I hereby apologize to you..." Guo Jinbiao begged for forgiveness now. He had no choice. He had to be humble in another's territory.
"Guo Jinbiao, I say you're crazy." Yang Ming said coldly, "Do you think after one apology and everything would be settled? I gave you a few chances before. If you didn't keep troubling me, I wouldn't have gone to Jidun City to take care of you. But you had to make up some conditions to find me over and over again. You had already stretched my patience to the extreme!"
"Take him down. I don't want to see him anymore." Yang Ming waved his hand and spoke to Bao Sanli.
"Yes, Brother Yang!" Bao Sanli waved, and several underlings held Guo Jinbiao and threw him out.
"You... what are you guys doing? You can't do this... Let me go!" Guo Jinbiao was shocked. When Yang Ming really wanted to kill him, he became anxious immediately.
Yang Ming was unmoved, so Bao Sanli would naturally not sympathize with this Guo Jinbiao. In recent days, this Guo Jinbiao was being pretentious using the name of Master Qi all the time. Bao Sanli already had enough. With a sentence from Yang Ming, he couldn't wait to quickly eliminate this brat who had always been so pretentious.
"I can give you all a sum of money... Don't kill me..." Guo Jinbiao was scared. Of course, he wasn't as hard as he looked on the surface. He was also afraid of death. Seeing that Yang Ming still didn't talk, Guo Jinbiao continued, "All my assets in Jidun City I can forgo. Just let me go, and I will go far, far away. I'll never come back... I will go abroad..."
"Oh? You still have some money to go abroad?" Yang Ming snorted and said, "Wait!"
Guo Jinbiao thought that Yang Ming wanted to let him go and immediately felt happy. Just as he was about to talk, he heard Yang Ming continue.
"He seems to be very rich!" Yang Ming said, "Find some way to get his account number and take the money out!"
"Understood, hehehehe!" Bao Sanli laughed evilly.
Guo Jinbiao was disappointed. He realized he really couldn't escape this disaster, so he didn't care anymore. He shouted, "F*ck all your mothers! You all will die horribly..."
"Hmph!" Yang Ming didn't want to stoop down to his level, but when he heard this guy's filthy mouth, he felt a little annoyed. He picked up the teacup cover on the table and threw it straight over to Guo Jinbiao's body.
It was a direct strike to his acupuncture point. Immediately, Guo Jinbiao completely lost his sanity. He screamed and struggled as Bao Sanli dragged him down.
As for the three people who were captured, Yang Ming waved his hand and let Hou Zhenhan take them down. As for how to deal with them, Hou Zhenhan and the others should know approximately how in their hearts. These kinds of top-level figures couldn't be kept alive.
Once they were all out, Yang Ming said to Li Qiang and rest, "Not bad! You guys did not let me down!"
"What, boss? Those people's fighting power was too weak. Many brothers are complaining. Even before we got started, those people were pretending to be dead, running away. They were just a group of rabble! Occasionally, there were some who resisted, but those were all just some soft-footed shrimp. We just used a punch to solve the battle." Li Qiang smiled bitterly.
"Ha..." Yang Ming shook his head after listening to it. This was also imaginable. Most of the gang members were just good at scaring and threatening ordinary citizens. If strong opponents actually appeared, they would run faster than anyone else.
"Okay, no matter what, the mission was done well!" Yang Ming said, "Every brother will receive a reward of a thousand yuan. Li Qiang, all four of you receives three thousand yuan each. Go and get it from the finance department later."
"Thank you, boss!" Li Qiang said with great gratitude. They already had a salary, and there were even rewards for the task. The boss was really good to them! "However, I think the few of us will just take a thousand just like our brothers..."
"Do as you wish!" Yang Ming didn't insist. "Do it well, and I won't treat you badly."
Guo Jinbiao was very cowardly. He was extremely cowardly. He could no longer stand it anymore after Yang Ming struck his acupoint. He hadn't even taken a few steps before he shared his account number and password. With nothing else, he just looked for a death, a quick death. He really couldn't stand it anymore.
On the site of Jidun City, Hou Zhenhan had sent someone to take over in a split moment. As for the issue of property rights, there were naturally specialized lawyers who were in charge of it. Just to mention, the Wang Group was now under Ming Yang's ownership. Those lawyers who specialized in dealing with gangs had easily settled the acquisition of other people's property.
Guo Jianchao was now the chairman of the Wang Group. However, Wang's Century Xiongfeng Group had changed its name to Ming Yang Entertainment Co. Ltd. It was a company specializing in running hotels, nightclubs, and other entertainment venues.
Although Guo Jianchao was the nominal chairman, the group's shares were still all in Hou Zhenhan's name. However, Guo Jianchao was very satisfied with this already. At least, now he was much stronger than his original self. With the connections to the underworld, people in the industry respected him a lot.
However, he wasn't proud either. The reason was that he knew that he was only Yang Ming's dog. He always reminded himself to be low-key. Otherwise, maybe one day he would end up like Wang Xifan.
Taking over Jidun City was a spontaneous idea from Yang Ming. His ambition wasn't in the underworld. The only reason he controlled this underworld was to keep this unsafe factor in his hands.
When he got home, his parents hadn't fallen asleep yet. Yang Ming sighed and sat helplessly beside his two parents. He just got home and went out again. These two old people were definitely waiting to see him and didn't go to sleep.
"Dad, Mom, not asleep yet?" asked Yang Ming.
"Waiting for you to be back before sleeping." Yang Dahai patted Yang Ming's shoulder, "Big Ming, how was going abroad? Was everything smooth?"
"Not bad, basically smooth." Yang Ming said, "I found a diamond mine in South Africa. We'll be collecting the diamonds directly."
"Oh, great that it was smooth." Yang Dahai nodded.
"Big Ming, I heard that it isn't really safe there in South Africa. Some countries there changed their governments really often. One temporary government falls down and then another one would rise. Will it be too dangerous to mine there?" Mother Yang was worried as she asked, "What if the mine gets taken back?"
Yang Ming thought in his heart, Unless the leader of the interim government doesn't want to live anymore! How was this mine given out? It was the reward for an assassin group! If they dared to ask for it back, they were simply giving away their lives! These kinds of things are not any secret at all. Even if the temporary government is replaced, it would be clear as to who are the people they can offend, and who they can't. They won't find trouble for themselves.
However, Yang Ming certainly couldn't explain it this way, so he said, "This is a form of venture capital investment. I have found a mine in a relatively stable country. There should be no problem."
"Then you be careful. If it is taken back, don't go against others forcefully!" Mother Yang advised.
"Mom, don't worry. I'm not a child anymore. I know what the appropriate behavior is." Yang Ming said helplessly.
He didn't know since when but the family's chat content had become a lot more formal. In Yang Dahai's view, this was because his child had grown up. Afterward, they chatted for a while about the happenings at the Song Jiang Bus Factory. The bus factory's reformation had been on the right track. The approval had been granted, and the reformation was imminent.
Yang Ming had completely let go and let his father do it. He wasn't very concerned about these matters. It was not until late that night when the whole family fell asleep. However, when they learned that Yang Ming was going out early the next day, Mother Yang complained and said that Yang Ming could have said it earlier. If they knew he was going out, then they wouldn't have talked to him so late at night.
The next day, Yang Ming got up at six o'clock. Yang Ming had already formed a habit with his biological clock. Especially during this period of training, it had caused a serious change in Yang Ming's resting hours. It was enough for him to sleep for only four or five hours a day.
Without disturbing his parents, Yang Ming went downstairs alone and drove Hou Zhenhan's BMW X5 to Donghai. In any case, I must do whatever I promised Sun Jie.
Sun Hongjun was also up very early today. Although he was very dissatisfied with Yang Ming's late visit, he still looked forward to it.
My daughter is already so big now. All along, she didn't even have a boyfriend. This had always been a big deal in Sun Hongjun's heart! Moreover, there were some rumors out there which said that his daughter was a lesbian!
This made Sun Hongjun feel very angry, but those accusations weren't done without any basis. How his daughter was like, Sun Hongjun was also clear about it... After researching it on the surface and in the dark, Sun Hongjun really found something out.
Although there was no obvious proof that his daughter was a homosexual, at least in his daughter's computer, he found a lot of XX's film. This made Sun Hongjun feel incredibly anxious!
But he didn't dare to expose his daughter directly. Who knows what would happen after the discussion had finished?
Sun Hongjun also knew that it was because of the earlier situations that his daughter started to resist men. So, he could only stay anxious. Now, it wasn't easy to hear that his daughter finally had a boyfriend. Could he not feel excited about it?
No matter what, my Sun Family still is a famous family. It was easily one of the best in Donghai. If my daughter is searching for a boyfriend, of course, I must check on it......
However, humans were always greedy! There was no end to someone's desire. Originally, Sun Hongjun was already very happy when his daughter was willing to get a boyfriend, but amidst the happiness, he felt that the boyfriend had to match his daughter!
Sun Hongjun had also read about Yang Ming... He seemed really too ordinary. He was just a college student, and his age gap with his daughter was pretty big. Although Yang Ming put forward a few new ideas at the meeting last time, Sun Hongjun didn't think that Yang Ming was powerful in any way. Nowadays, there were too many people who knew how to do business!
Moreover, Sun Hongjun had another intention, which was to train his son-in-law to be his successor! He also understood that kid, Sun Zhiwei, was useless, a disappointing Ah Dou [1], so he wasn't attached to this low-quality individual.
Although Sun Hongjun also wanted to train Sun Zhiwei up, this guy really had no potential. On the other hand, his daughter had all the ability and courage. It was just that she was a daughter... The matters of the underworld shouldn't run by a woman after all!
Therefore, Sun Hongjun didn't allow his daughter to touch the happenings in the underworld. He just handed over some of the business opportunities to her.
Hence, Sun Hongjun also wanted to see if Yang Ming had the ability to lead the underworld.
After passing the toll booth, Yang Ming called Sun Jie. Sun Jie was already prepared. After receiving Yang Ming's call, she immediately drove to pick him up.
"Your car?" Sun Jie looked at Yang Ming's car in a curious way.
"Hehe, aren't we going to your home? I had to borrow a good car to make sure we look good!" Yang Ming smiled.
"That's enough. My dad has investigated all over your little family background already." Sun Jie said helplessly, but in her heart, she was somewhat grateful to Yang Ming for valuing her.
The two luxury cars headed for the Sun Family's compound in tandem.
Sun Family was the most powerful family in Donghai. The Sun Family's villa was like an independent fortress, symbolizing the status and power of the Sun Family. Outside the Sun Family Villa, it was all open spaces. To be able to buy such a large piece of land in a provincial capital wasn't something that could be done solely with money.
It was said that this wasn't only done for safety, but also for peace. Otherwise, the cars nearby would be really noisy.
Sun Hongjun stood at the window on the second floor until he saw his daughter's car come back. It was followed by a BMW. He couldn't help but be stunned. When did Yang Ming buy a car?
The person who came to greet Yang Ming and Sun Jie was the Sun Family's butler, Sun San. In Sun Hongjun's view, even this was giving Yang Ming a lot of respect already.
"Miss, Mr. Yang." Sun San said politely.
"Uncle San!" When Yang Ming met Sun San, he called to him passionately. "Thank you for the matter last time!"
"You're welcome, Mr. Yang." Sun San said in a humble way. Outside, Sun San was a strong man. But at the Sun Family, he was just a butler. Moreover, it was likely for Yang Ming to be his future master, so Sun San naturally had to pay him some respect.
"Enough, Yang Ming. Are you here to see my dad, or are you here to chat with Uncle San?" Sun Jie was in a hurry. Her father was already on fire this morning. He said that this Yang Ming had a bigger ego than him!
Looking at how Yang Ming took his own sweet time to go into the house, she couldn't help but criticize him.
"Oh, let's go then!" As Yang Ming said, he put his hand on Sun Jie's lower waist and walked into the house.
"What are you doing?" Sun Jie was surprised and whispered.
"Are you not my girlfriend? What's wrong with holding you?" Yang Ming purposely asked inexplicably.
Sun Jie gritted her teeth and could only endure it. She said strictly, "Okay, you do whatever you want today. But if you screw up the act, don't blame me for finding you to settle the score later!"
"Hehe, don't worry. We won't screw up." Yang Ming said indifferently, "We had already done that before. We would definitely have such a kind of tacit understanding!"
Sun Jie glanced at Yang Ming but couldn't be mad him. She could only pretend not to hear him. However, this Yang Ming was really abhorrent, too. He slowly drew his hand closer to Sun Jie's hips.
"Xiao Jie, you're back..." This time around, a woman in her forties greeted them. She smiled and said, "This must be Xiao Jie's boyfriend?"
Yang Ming didn't who this woman was, so he didn't dare to assume her to be anyone. Sun Jie's family is pretty big. Whatever kind of butlers, maids, a seventh aunt from father's side or eighth aunt from mother's side, and who knows if Sun Hongjun has a little wife!
"Mom, this is Yang Ming!" Sun Jie immediately introduced him. "Yang Ming, this is my mother."
"Oh, nice to meet you, Mom!" Yang Ming's head was thinking about something sly, trying to figure out if Sun Hongjun had more than one wife. When Sun Jie suddenly spoke to him, he didn't think too much and spoke this sentence directly.
"Yang Ming!" Sun Jie also saw Yang Ming's absent-mindedness and pinched him.
However, the woman laughed really hard. "Good, good. This child, you have a rather sweet mouth! The only regret in my life was that I didn't have a son. Now I have..."
"Ugh... Aunty, nice to meet you..." After being pinched by Sun Jie, Yang Ming was immediately conscious, so he quickly followed up and greeted her.
"Xiao Jie, what's the matter with you?" The woman immediately became unhappy after hearing it. She glared at Sun Jie. "Whatever Yang Ming calls me is a matter between the two of us. What does it have to do with you? Why did you interfere with it?"
"Mom... I..." Sun Jie was really dumbfounded, but she also knew her mother's temper. When she was born, it was a difficult labor. As a result, her mother had a cesarean section for the child, and she couldn't give birth anymore. This had always been her mother's regret because her mother liked boys very much.
Although her father didn't say anything, there must always be a successor with such a big family business. This made her mother feel even more guilty. That was why when Yang Ming said "mom," she became elated as such!
"Aunty... sorry, yeah, this had nothing to do with Xiao Jie..." Yang Ming said, "In fact, this was the case. I came to your home for the first time and I was a bit nervous, so I accidentally followed Sun Jie and called you mom..."
Sun Jie scoffed at Yang Ming's explanation. Nervous? If you were nervous would you have slinked off? That is utter nonsense...
"This was the case... Then it's fine. Why don't you call me mom from this point on? It will be the same anyway. In the future, once you're married to Xiao Jie, you'll need to change your wording to call me mother anyway. Just take it as something you do earlier!" said Mother Sun.
"Mom, I'm just starting with him. What are you talking about?" Sun Jie complained. To be honest, Sun Jie really didn't consider the possibility of continuing her relationship with Yang Ming. After all, the age difference between the two of them was too great, and Yang Ming already had a girlfriend.
The reason she looked for Yang Ming this time was also to entertain her father. Sun Jie was a very proud woman. She had a very high standard. At least, she just thought she didn't hate Yang Ming now. If he wanted her to fall in love with him, then he would have to make a noteworthy achievement of his own.
"I think Xiao Yang is quite good. I agree to it!" Mother Sun didn't even think about it.
"Cough cough..." Sun Hongjun saw that it wouldn't work if he didn't show up. His wife liked to act on her feelings. If she just set it up like this, wouldn't that be a bit too careless?
"Dad..." Sun Jie also saw her father coming down the stairs.
"Uncle Sun, nice to meet you!" Yang Ming looked at Sun Hongjun and greeted him with a smile. However, he was assessing Sun Hongjun's whole person in detail secretly.
