“Young Master Zhou, it’s been a while. Why haven’t I seen you back in Jingdu lately?”

As soon as he heard the voice, Zhou Chao immediately knew who was on the other end of the line.

A smile crept onto his face. “I was wondering who it was. Turns out it’s Brother Yao. I was just wondering which big shot from Jingdu gave him the courage to point fingers and curse at me, Zhou.”

Zhou Chao’s gaze shifted to Liu Yang. By now, Liu Yang had lost his earlier arrogance and was trembling all over. Even Liu Yun and the others, along with Chen Li, had changed expressions several times.

Seeing this, Si Cong couldn’t help but smirk inwardly. These people were truly skilled at changing expressions, just like the performers in the Sichuan Opera!

Li Yao remained silent for a moment before saying, “Young Master Zhou, handle this matter as you see fit. I just hope that, out of respect for me, you’ll go easy on them. No need to make things too ugly or lethal.”

“Brother Yao, there’s no need to put it that way. I’m a law-abiding citizen. How could I possibly maim or kill someone? But there’s always a price to pay for wrongdoing.” Zhou Chao said with a slight smirk.

Although Zhou Chao’s face was full of smiles, the others in the room felt a chill running down their spines. The looks they cast upon Zhou Chao were filled with fear.

None of them present were fools. To make a big shot from Jingdu speak such words, the implications behind them were too profound to express.

“Alright, your words are enough. Please hand the phone over to my uncle Liu Yun, Young Master Zhou. I need to discuss something with him.”

“Sure.” Zhou Chao immediately turned to Liu Yun, who was standing nearby and handed him the phone. “Take the call!”

With some trepidation, Liu Yun took the phone and walked to the side.

No one knew what the two said, but Liu Yun kept nodding incessantly, occasionally wiping the sweat from his face.

After about three minutes, Liu Yun returned with the phone in hand.

“Young Master Zhou, Yao Er has a few words he’d like to say to you.” Liu Yun held the phone with both hands and bowed slightly.

Zhou Chao took the phone directly. “Brother Yao, is there anything else you need to discuss?”

“When will you return to Jingdu? Bring Xiao Yang with you for a gathering.”

Zhou Chao didn’t refuse Li Yao’s offer of goodwill. “Alright, we’ll get in touch after returning to Jingdu in a few days.”

“Okay, I’ve taken care of everything I needed to. I’ll hang up now.” After saying that, Li Yao hung up the phone.

Zhou Chao handed the phone back to Liu Yang and glanced at him for a moment before saying, “You should consider yourself lucky that your cousin and I are friends. But when you make mistakes, you must acknowledge them. As for punishment…”

Seeing Zhou Chao’s gaze, Liu Yun instantly understood. He hurriedly stepped forward and said, “Young Master Zhou, leave this matter to me. I’ll definitely make this little troublemaker regret it!”

After speaking, he gave his son, Liu Yang, a stern look. Liu Yang took two steps back, knowing that his old man wasn’t joking.

“I hope you keep your word. Alright, let these young people leave now!”

Liu Yang and the other two were stunned for a moment, unable to react immediately. It was Liu Yun who kicked him and said, “Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and get out of here!”

Regaining their senses, Liu Yang and the others quickly left the tea room as if they were fleeing.

“Please, everyone, have a seat. You’ve been standing for so long. Lin Wu, please pour some tea for our guests.” Zhou Chao waved his hand, gesturing for everyone to sit down.

Chen Li glanced at Liu Yun and the others. He knew things had gone beyond his expectations. Originally, he thought of leveraging the situation, but who would have thought that the leverage would be too much, and he might even get dragged into it himself?

Thinking about this, Chen Li felt quite despondent.

“Ah, Director Li, where were we in our conversation?” Zhou Chao feigned deep thought as he looked at Chen Li.

Seeing the meaningful look in Zhou Chao’s eyes, even Chen Li, who had been in the business world for decades, couldn’t help but tremble inwardly.

Glancing at the three people beside him, Chen Li thought to himself, “When you’re in trouble, even old friends might not help. I’m sorry, Lao Liu.” ƒгeewebnovёl.com

“Young Master Zhou, we were just discussing your interest in investing in YiLi!”

Upon hearing this, Liu Yun, who was sitting beside him, couldn’t help but inhale sharply. He remembered the words his nephew had said to him on the phone before, “You might have to bleed heavily this time, but it’s also a great opportunity. I hope you seize it, Uncle!”

Now, looking at Zhou Chao, there was nothing but fear in his eyes. He hadn’t expected that they had already been outmaneuvered.

At that moment, Liu Yun was still puzzled by the meaning behind those words. Could it be that even with this young master intervening, the other party wouldn’t give face? Now it seemed that this Young Master Zhou in front of him was even more formidable than his nephew, and from the beginning, he was aiming at their shares, or rather, his son was just an excuse.

“Rightly so, perfectly reasonable and just!” Liu Yun understood how he should proceed from now on.

“Yes, yes, that’s where we left off. Ah, there’s been so much going on lately, it’s been quite overwhelming.” Zhou Chao acted as if he suddenly realized, patting his own head as if in realization.

Si Cong watched Zhou Chao’s somewhat clumsy performance and felt like his brain was being rubbed on the ground.

But there were still people who played along. Liu Yun’s earnest voice rang out.

“Young Master Zhou, you should take care of yourself and delegate tasks to your subordinates when necessary!”

“Haha, thank you for your concern, Mr. Liu. I’m still young, and it’s only right for me to work hard. Oh, Director Li, what do you think about our previous discussion regarding investment?”
