Chapter 1221 - 1220: Despair
First-Grade Kingdom.Yang Chen received the news that his stores were consecutively being inspected and ordered to close for inspection!
In just half an hour, over a dozen stores had been shut down!
If this continues, they could shut down all our stores before noon!
Xiang Xingyu said in a serious tone, "Mr. Yang! This can’t continue! Their goal is obvious; they want us to close our stores! It must be their doing. Let me handle this! Even if they know it’s me, they won’t dare to do anything to us!"
Yang Chen thought for a moment, slightly waved his hand, and said, "No need to rush! Let’s see what other tricks they have!"
Seeing this, although Xiang Xingyu seemed a bit impatient, he endured it.
About ten minutes passed.
More stores were ordered to close for rectification.
This time it wasn’t just about taxes; it involved fire safety, sanitation... and so on.
The pace suddenly accelerated a lot!
In the blink of an eye, half the stores were already closed!
Yang Chen’s face was gloomy.
"It seems like the entire city has been practically hollowed out by these family forces! If that’s the case, these..."
Before Yang Chen could finish speaking, someone pushed the door open and entered.
"President Yang!" Zhou Huiqing shouted.
Recognizing Zhou Huiqing’s voice, Yang Chen turned his head and saw Zhou Huiqing entering with Zhou Tang in large strides.
"Steward Zhou!" Yang Chen stood up, addressing Zhou Tang.
Seeing Yang Chen stand, the others also stood up, looking at Zhou Tang.
Zhou Tang hurriedly said, "Yang Chen, this situation is due to my negligence! However, over the years, Ancheng has been too deeply penetrated by these families! Because of this incident, these people have surfaced! Rest assured, I will handle these matters and restore tranquility to Longyu Group!"
Yang Chen smiled, "Thank you so much, Steward Zhou!"
"No need to thank me! It’s my duty!" Zhou Tang said as he prepared to leave, "Huiqing, stay here to help Yang Chen resolve the issues. I’ll head to the scene now. I want to see what these people are capable of!"
With that, Zhou Tang left briskly.
...
Green Land Plaza!
This is the most luxurious commercial street in Ancheng.
The shops on both sides are incredibly valuable per square meter.
Today, there are many staff members from various departments, checking various standards.
But, they’re not checking every store, they have a very specific target.
For instance... Longyu Group’s businesses!
Inside a clothing store that Longyu Group co-manages with Shangdong Group.
Upon hearing the news, Jianfeng had rushed over and was staring at Wang Chengyang.
"Our store absolutely has no issues!" Jianfeng stared at Wang Chengyang, saying coldly.
The clothing in this store is one of Chen Siyan’s favorite brands to wear; the designs and styles are very beautiful. Their business model has always adhered to international first-class standards, extremely strict, so there won’t be any issues in the store. Their required standards are even stricter than the current regulations!
Now these people are here to check, which is completely unreasonable!
Wang Chengyang sneered coldly at Jianfeng, "Whether there are any issues is up to me to decide! Now immediately bring your account books out, and stop operations. You can only resume after we’ve completed the inspection!"
"Fine!" Jianfeng said to Wang Chengyang, "You want an investigation, right? Where’s your investigation order? The documents? If you don’t have them, then get lost!"
He’s seen all sorts of people; back in the Dragon Tooth Squad, his rank was such that even Zhou Tang had to call him leader. Let alone a small fry like Wang Chengyang!
"Get lost?" Wang Chengyang’s face darkened, pointing his finger at Jianfeng’s nose, he shouted angrily, "You damn dare to tell me to get lost? Believe it or not, I’ll make it so you can’t stay in Ancheng!"
Jianfeng said coldly, "Who do you think you are?"
"I am your damn grandpa!" Wang Chengyang cursed furiously and told his men, "Keep a close eye! Do a thorough investigation! I want him dead!"
Jianfeng immediately grabbed Wang Chengyang’s finger and twisted it forcefully!
"Ah!!!" Wang Chengyang screamed miserably.
His finger was already broken!
Wang Chengyang was writhing on the ground in pain.
At this moment, a group of people swarmed in.
"What are you doing here! Who allowed you to investigate? Who gave you the orders!"
It was Zhou Tang!
Zhou Tang was furious, shouting angrily.
The group, seeing Zhou Tang, turned pale and didn’t dare to respond.
Wang Chengyang lay on the ground, holding his hand, shouting, "Help! Murder! Steward Zhou! Steward Zhou! You have to stand up for me!"
Zhou Tang glared coldly at Wang Chengyang and said coldly, "Wang Chengyang! Who gave you the authority to investigate? Who told you to do this? Whom are you listening to?"
Wang Chengyang found himself speechless.
Zhou Tang snorted coldly, "I suggest you stop working! Go be a servant for the Wu family!"
Hearing this, Wang Chengyang’s face turned blue instantly. The fear in his heart outweighed the pain in his hand, his lips trembled, unable to say a word!
"Take them all away!" Zhou Tang waved his hand, and everyone was taken away.
Zhou Tang glanced at Jianfeng and nodded, "Everything is handled here, you can head back now!"
Jianfeng nodded, "Thanks!"
With Zhou Tang around, Jianfeng felt assured.
Subsequently, Zhou Tang intercepted another group, apprehending them all.
In less than an hour, everyone was arrested.
Afterward, Zhou Tang personally led people to interrogate them!
This time, he planned to uproot all the people placed by these family forces!
...
Meanwhile.
Cloud Mist Mountain.
The Clan Leader of the Wu family received a call, and upon hearing the news, his face fell.
It wasn’t just him.
Also the Clan Leader of the Ban family.
The Clan Leader of the Bai family.
...
All the individuals they placed had been completely wiped out!
After finally receiving definitive information, the Wu family’s Clan Leader put down the phone with a pale face and said, "Second, Second Young Master... Ancheng’s steward, Zhou Tang, has thrown his support behind Yang Chen too! He’s arrested all my people!"
"Mine too!" said the Ban family’s Clan Leader gravely.
"Damn it!" the Bai family’s Clan Leader shouted angrily, "I really don’t know what kind of deal Zhou Tang and Yang Chen have that made him side with them!"
"Zhou Tang?" Second Young Master Yun widened his eyes, "How is this possible!"
The Wu family’s Clan Leader sighed, "That’s the fact; everyone has been caught!"
"Yes, indeed!"
"It seems we can only use alternative methods now!"
...
Second Young Master Yun could no longer suppress his anger. He stood up, paced back and forth, his face darkened, and he frowned deeply.
After a long time, Second Young Master Yun said, "I don’t care what methods you use! Use whatever means you have at your disposal! I just can’t believe that with so many of us, we can’t bring down Longyu Group, can’t defeat Yang Chen!"
At this moment, the Bai family’s Clan Leader put down his phone and said gravely, "Second Young Master, I’m afraid it’s impossible now. According to the latest information, a large amount of funds has been pouring into Longyu Group’s account, continuously flowing in, as if there is a massive consortium backing them! Moreover, they have the Xiang family and the Zhang family as their backing. With our currently assembled power, it seems unrealistic to take down Longyu Group."
Hearing this, Second Young Master Yun sank into his chair.
This time, he felt another heavy sense of defeat!
Could it be that this Yang Chen is truly his nemesis?
