Chapter 1858: Using Harsh Methods

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The person who spoke was Zhu Junchi. He was dressed casually and had combed his short hair. He was dressed rather plainly.

The person standing next to him was a little taller than him. He was another member of Team 4, Wei Yulong.

In Team 4, Wei Yulong was slightly older. He was already 37 years old and his strength was considered top-notch.

Although he was not young, he had a baby face and looked about the same age as Zhu Junchi.

The two of them were dressed very similarly, not looking like anything special. Although he was wearing branded clothes, he kept a low profile and did not show off at all.

This was also a habit that they had developed over the years. After being molded by the Central Guards Brigade, their living habits were different from those rich playboys. They looked proper and reserved.

“You two are finally here. Let’s talk while we eat.”

After entering the private room, the two of them sat down. Zhu Junchi was the first to open the Maotai and fill the gla.s.ses of the other two.

The three of them clinked their gla.s.ses and took a sip. Zhu Junchi said,

“Old Zhou, we’ve known each other for a while. If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you putting on such a show?”

“The Zhonghai project has been suspended. We don’t know when it will be able to start.”

“Stopped? How is that possible?!” Zhu Junchi said in surprise.

“There were no problems with the official process for the project. Why was it stopped?”

“They said that that piece of land had other uses, so they urgently stopped it,”

Zhou Yuan cursed.

“This is too sudden. Why do 1 feel that something is wrong?” Zhu Junchi said doubtfully.

“If I’m not mistaken, it should be Liang Ruoxu,” Wei Yulong said.

“Liang Ruoxu? Liang Xianghe’s granddaughter?”

Wei Yulong nodded and said in a deep voice,

“Liang Ruoxu is Lin Yi’s lover. Now that he’s dead, she’ll definitely help.” “Isn’t she overstepping? The private yacht project is just one part of our water park, yet she’s interfering with even that?” Zhu Junchi said indignantly.

“You have to understand, anyone from the Liang family is never a pushover, Wei Yulong replied.

“I suspect she must have sensed something, which is why she reacted this way. Otherwise, there’s no reason for such a strong response.

“Really? We’ve been so discreet, and she still figured it out?”

Zhu Junchi felt a chill run down his spine. If Liang Ruoxu could discern even this, her insight was truly terrifying.

“Wei, aren’t you exaggerating a bit? Actually, there’s something else you all don’t know,” Zhou Yuan said.

“What happened now?” Wei Yulong lit a cigarette and asked in a low voice.

“The Central Guards Brigade went to my uncle’s house.”

Hearing this, their expressions changed.

“Who went?”

“Two women and a man.” Zhou Yuan said.

“One of the women even attended my cousin’s burial ceremony. Looks like she

has some status.”

“1 know who it is.” Zhu Junchi said.

“It must be Qiu Yuluo and Ning Che. The last man should be Tao Cheng. They’re all veterans of Team 3 and often hang out together. They must have been sent by the higher-ups to express their condolences to your Zhou family.”

“That’s unlikely. The Central Guards Brigade sacrifices members every year, but I’ve never seen the organization send out such a huge force to express their condolences.” Wei Yulong said,

“Team Leader-level figures don’t come and go as they please.” Zhu Junchi spun his wine gla.s.s and also felt that something was amiss. He looked at Zhou Yuan and asked,

“Other than that, what other information do you have?”

“There’s nothing else.” Zhou Yuan said.

“I only replaced the security guards at home with my people. 1 don’t know what they talked about.”

“I don’t think this matter is simple.” Zhou Yulong said.

“They must have discussed something in secret. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have made such a big move.”

“I think so too. With Liang Ruoxu’s status, she’s not someone ordinary people can mobilize. It must be the result of people from the Central Guards Brigade interfering.” Zhu Junchi said.

“By the way, I heard you mention before that there’s a very irksome person in your company who seems to have been guarding against you. What’s her name again?”

“Fan Jiayi is my aunt’s niece. She’s the deputy general manager of the company.”

“I think she might have something to do with this. You should focus on her.

Zhou Yuan nodded without commenting.

With Uncle’s current state, it was unlikely that he would partic.i.p.ate in the company’s matters.

The only person who could possibly oppose him was Fan Jiayi!

He had to start with her!

“In truth, Fan Jiayi is nothing. I can easily take care of her. The main problem is still with the Central Guards Brigade. Without their support, the project wouldn’t have been stopped.”

“Just deal with Fan Jiayi. We’ll take care of Qiu Yuluo and Ning Che.”

Wei Yulong was fiddling with his phone.

“They’re already in Chengdu. Next, we need to use our resources to locate where they’re staying and discuss this matter in detail.”

“It won’t be difficult to find them. Given their status, they’ll be staying in high-end places. I can name most of the five-star hotels in Chengdu, so it won’t take long to track them down.”

Zhu Junchi leaned back in his chair and looked straight ahead, as if in a daze. “Given their relationship with Lin Yi, if they’ve come to handle this, they likely won’t compromise easily. The chances of negotiating are low.” “Heh heh…” Wei Yulong chuckled coldly and said slowly.

“If the soft approach doesn’t work, we’ll use the hard approach. Even if they band together, those two families can’t stir up much trouble.”

Zhu Junchi looked at Wei Yulong.

“Don’t tell me you want to fight them?”

“So what if it comes to that? We’re still members of the Central Guards Brigade. Sparring between comrades is perfectly normal, and the higher-ups won’t say anything,” Wei Yulong replied.

“Moreover, their families are about the same size as ours. There’s no need to be afraid.”

“Brother Wei, I can tell now. You look kind on the outside, but you’re cold on the inside.” Zhu Junchi said.

“If it were me, I wouldn’t dare to use such a method.”

“They’re overestimating themselves, thinking they fear nothing because they used to hang out with Lin Yi. Now that Lin Yi is dead, they’re still acting like they have power. It’s time to set them straight.

Zhu Junchi picked up some food from the table, a mocking smile playing on his lips.

“I think that’s a good idea. Let’s do it.”

“Since we have a plan, let’s have a toast and then get to work. We can’t afford to delay any longer,” Zhou Yuan said, raising his gla.s.s..
