Chapter 1803: You Take The Money
Yang Ming didn’t expect Sui Yuemin to succ.u.mb in this manner. Yang Ming really didn’t want to care about Sui Yuemin as too many things had already happened. First was the issue with Zhang Kaiyuan and Yu Xiangde, then there was the barbecue restaurant incident. After that, Sui Yuemin came to extort him again. So by the time it was Sui Yuemin’s turn, Yang Ming really didn’t want to care about him. Instead, he called Bao Sanli and asked him to send him some money.
If Yang Ming cared about it, he would have demolished this Immortal Resort. He wouldn’t call Bao Sanli so calmly. Of course, Yang Ming did not care whether Sui Yuemin dared to take this money or not.
Since he dared to request money from Yang Ming, he must have the courage to receive it.
“This is my room. Why are you crying at my room door?” Yang Ming frowned when he saw Sui Yuemin kneel on the ground with snot and tears as he spoke incomprehensible words.
“Brother Yang, I was wrong. Please don’t make me take the money!” Sui Yuemin begged hard, “I’m not stupid. I know I can’t take this money. If I take it, I will be finished and my resort can’t continue doing business …”
“Did I ever say such a thing?” Yang Ming retorted.
“This … Does it still need to be said?” Sui Yuemin smiled bitterly, “Brother Yang, as soon as you leave, Brother Bai will probably not spare me.”
“Oh, you get up first.” A lightbulb suddenly flashed in Yang Ming’s mind and he thought of some ideas.
“Yes… Yes…” Sui Yuemin didn’t dare to oppose Yang Ming’s words. He stood up quickly. But he didn’t dare to stand upright. He stood there with a bowed figure, “Brother Yang, please spare me.”
“We won’t talk about this for the time being. I ask you, whose resort is this now?” Yang Ming asked.
“This resort is now mine.” Sui Yuemin didn’t dare to hide it. Although he didn’t know why Yang Ming asked this, Sui Yuemin still answered Yang Ming’s question truthfully. After all, Zhang Penbai knew all these things clearly.
“It doesn’t belong to Mount Jing’s Immortal Group?” Yang Ming asked.
“No. I bought it myself,” said Sui Yuemin respectfully.
“Is Sui Guangqi in charge right now?” Yang Ming asked.
“Yes, it is my brother’s son Sui Guangqi. But this kid is really nothing. He doesn’t care about me as his Second Uncle. It actually cost me all of my savings to buy this resort and made me penniless. I still owe a huge load of debt. Otherwise, I wouldn’t think about scamming one hundred thousand yuan because of this lost bedsheet!” Sui Yuemin vented all his anger about Sui Guangqi. Sui Yuemin believed that the ] whole thing today had been caused by his nephew Sui Guangq’s actions. If it wasn’t for him, how could he place importance on this one hundred thousand yuan?
“Oh, so that is the case. I wondered if you still wanted this resort to stay open since you actually came up with such a trick to extort customers.” Yang Ming nodded slightly to show that he understood.
“Brother Yang… You can’t actually blame me for all of this. I was forced to do such inhumane things. Please let me go…” Sui Yuemin saw that Yang Ming’s tone seemed lenient, and immediately tried to use this chance to free himself.
“Let’s just forget about today’s affairs. You can hold onto the hundred thousand yuan. Consider it as emergency funds,” Yang Ming said while waving his hand.
“Ah? That’s not possible, Brother Yang. No matter how poor I am, I can’t take this money!” Sui Yuemin was anxious. He really didn’t dare to accept this money. He thought Yang Ming didn’t plan to let him go and hurriedly said, “Brother Yang, tell me. What must I do for you to let me go?”
“I didn’t say that I can’t let you go?” Yang Ming was stunned. He did not expect Sui Yuemin to not understand what he said, “I have already said very clearly. Let’s just forget about today’s issue.”
“This money …” Sui Yuemin didn’t understand. If the issue was solved just like that, then why did Yang Ming still give him money?
“This matter is over. Just take the money,” said Yang Ming. “But this money is not for nothing.”
“What do you mean?” Sui Yuemin was even more puzzled.
“Don’t you get it?” Yang Ming was helpless.
“Ah! I see!” Sui Yuemin smacked the back of his head upon Yang Ming’s reminder. He said, “Brother Yang, I understand. You mean to say that there’s something that you want me to do?”
“It seems that you are not too stupid. I almost thought that I picked the wrong person,” said Yang Ming lightly.
“Brother Yang, just tell me. As long as I, Sui Yuemin, can handle it, I won’t hesitate!” Sui Yuemin immediately guaranteed while patting his chest. “However, you also know what I, Sui Yuemin, am capable of. You seem to be able to do everything that I can do…”
“I have to think about this, and I will tell you in time. But it will only benefit you. There is no harm.” Yang Ming gave Sui Yuemin peace of mind in advance to save him from feeling uneasy.
“Okay, okay!” Sui Yuemin was rea.s.sured when he heard Yang Ming say so. He knew that since Yang Ming said that there was only good and no harm, it must be true. Yang Ming had a supreme ident.i.ty, hence he had no need to deceive Sui Yuemin. If Yang Ming wanted to push him into the fire pit, he could only grit his teeth and jump in. It couldn’t be helped.
But Yang Ming said that there would be benefits. Sui Yuemin was relieved. He did not expect that he could pick up a big benefit this time by extortion. Although he didn’t know what the unknown benefit was and how good it would be, at least the immediate benefit was that Zhang Penbai would not treat him badly in the future. He was now working for Yang Ming. In other words, he was also Yang Ming’s man like Zhang Penbai. Zhang Penbai couldn’t be arrogant to Sui Yuemin anymore, right?
Although Sui Yuemin hadn’t figured out what Yang Ming’s real ident.i.ty was, it now seemed that it was not simple. This could be seen from Zhang Penbai’s att.i.tude towards Yang Ming. Therefore, following such a person would definitely not disadvantage him.
“En, then you should leave first.” Yang Ming waved his hand to signal that Sui Yuemin could leave.
“Okay, Brother Yang. I’m leaving now …” Sui Yuemin knew that he was finally fine. He looked back in a cold sweat and saw that Zhang Penbai was smiling amiably at him again. He returned the smile when he reached the door “Brother Bai, I’m leaving …”
“Brother Sui, you’re too polite.” Zhang Penbai said with a polite smile. He didn’t know what Yang Ming wanted Sui Yuemin to do now. But it did not matter what he did. Yang Ming’s att.i.tude indicated that he intended to let Sui Yuemin go this time. Thus, Zhang Penbai would naturally not say anything. Moreover, it was hard to say whether Sui Yuemin would become one of Yang Ming’s underlings in the future.
Sui Yuemin did not have much satisfaction with Zhang Penbai’s complete change in att.i.tude. However, he sighed. In many cases, a single decision can change someone’s fate. If he didn’t kneel and ask for forgiveness with snot and tears, Yang Ming might not have said what he did eventually. His fate at that time could be imagined.
But now, it had changed miraculously. The opportunities in life are really wonderful.
Yang Ming suddenly decided to let Sui Yuemin go because he thought of Sui Guangqi, the guy who was infatuated with Zhou Jiajia. Strictly speaking, the hatred between them had already been settled. Between the two of them, one was at Mount Jing while the other was in Song Jiang. There were not many chances for them to meet. Previously, Sui Guangqi had just inherited his wealth as a rich prodigal child. So he didn’t have great ability.
But now it was different. Sui Yuejin was dead. Sui Guangqi had taken over his father’s position and now served as the Immortal Group’s chairman. Of course, this was not a big deal. Who the chairman of the Immortal Group was had no relations.h.i.+p with Yang Ming.
What made Yang Ming change his mind was that he suddenly thought of Sui Yuemin’s previous words. He said that the resort was already his, and it had nothing to do with Sui Guangqi. So Yang Ming relying on the ident.i.ty of being Sui Guangqi’s cla.s.smate was inappropriate.
This sentence by Sui Yuemin showed that there seemed to be a strong hatred between him and Sui Guangqi.
So Yang Ming thought of this and simply asked about the owners.h.i.+p of the resort. He just wanted to probe Sui Guangqi’s personality. He didn’t expect that Sui Yuemin would already babble about Sui Guangqi’s evil deeds. Although he didn’t go into detail, it could be seen from his words so far that Sui Guangqi was a strong person as well as a vengeful person. This caused Yang Ming’s alertness to rise.
Chapter 1804: Potential Enemy
Wouldn’t this type of opponent trouble him if he was ignored? Especially since his trip to Yunnan was approaching and it was unknown whether he could return safely. What if he left and Sui Guangqi came to pester Zhou Jiajia?
Yang Ming’s character was still kind, but now he knew that giving an inch was equivalent to giving a mile. Fine, since this person is a threat to me, I should make a move before he can grow stronger.
Of course, Yang Ming could eliminate Sui Guangqi without any worries. Even if Xia Bingbao learned about it, he would not say anything. However, Yang Ming was not an arrogant person. If he killed Sui Guangqi without reason, people would criticize him. The best way was to find a fuse.
When he saw Sui Yuemin, Yang Ming knew that he had found his fuse.
Sui Yuemin was also a member of the Sui Family. If Sui Guangqi was squeezed out of the Immortal Group, others would not say anything. Yang Ming had no intention on the Immortal Group’s business. He had enough money to give his women. It was useless to want more money. This decentralized business would also be difficult to control and operate.
All he had to do was to help Sui Yuemin while Sui Yuemin and Sui Guangqi were fighting for power. As long as Sui Guangqi held no power, he wouldn’t amount to anything.
Yang Ming was not worried about whether Sui Yuemin would backstab him after taking control of the Immortal Group. Firstly, Yang Ming did not have the idea to make Sui Yuemin his underling. It was useless to want him as an underling.
Secondly, it could be seen from Sui Yuemin’s mannerisms today that he was a timid person. If someone stronger than him were to beat him, he would only kneel and beg for mercy. He was not a dangerous person like Sui Guangqi.
So after Sui Yuemin gained power, he would only be grateful to Yang Ming. Even if Yang Ming wasn’t present, Zhang Penbai and Bao Sanli were people that he could not offend.
“Penbai, you can leave too. You have worked hard tonight,” Yang Ming said to Zhang Penbai after Sui Yuemin left.
“What hard work. I had nothing else to do tonight” Zhang Penbai scratched his head and smiled, “Then, Brother Yang, I’ll leave first and not disturb your rest.”
Yang Ming nodded and signaled that Zhang Penbai could leave.
After Zhang Penbai left, Jing Xiaolu asked with some confusion, “Yang Ming, why did you change your mind and give the money to Sui Yuemin in the end?”
“En, it’s because I know his nephew. He’s called Sui Guangqi, and he’s one of Zhou Jiajia’s suitors…” Yang Ming didn’t hide this matter from Jing Xiaolu either. Since he had told Jing Xiaolu that he would leave in a while, it wasn’t necessary for him to hide these things.
Yang Ming talked about the incident when he accompanied Zhou Jiajia to attend the cla.s.s reunion at the Immortal Resort, and he talked about Sui Guangqi. He also described Sui Guangqi’s character, and why he was concerned to not make preparations before he left. Finally, he talked about what he intended Sui Yuemin to do.
“So that is the reason. You really do plan ahead!” Jing Xiaolu naturally nodded after hearing it and said, “This person listens to what you say on the surface, but he is also someone who can be patient and is unforgiving. It will really be a troublesome thing if you don’t solve it.”
“I will think about it again and see if there are any other unresolved troubles. Before I go, I have to solve all your troubles.” Yang Ming rubbed his temple and smiled bitterly, “Otherwise I wouldn’t feel relieved after I leave!”
“Oh… Right!” Jing Xiaolu exclaimed suddenly, “There is one more person who we need to solve together!”
“Who is it?” Yang Ming asked suddenly.
“Liu Jifei. What if this guy causes trouble for me after you leave?”Jing Xiaolu said. “You can’t treat them differently. I’m yours now.”
“Ha…” Yang Ming broke into cold sweat and said, “I have been planning to deal with this man for a long time, even without you. I will not let him continue to be this arrogant.”
Yang Ming did not have a good impression of Liu Jifei. Not only had he framed Yang Ming’s company, but he had also incited a robbery of the bank notes escort vehicle. He had troubled Yang Ming all this time. Yang Ming would naturally not leave him be.
Yang Ming intended to let Xia Bingbao collect the evidence and submit it directly to Xia Xue or the Jiangyan Police. Liu Jifei would be sentenced to ten or twenty years in prison once he was caught.
“I see. I thought you forgot about it!” Jing Xiaolu was overjoyed when she heard Yang Ming’s words.
“Even if nothing happened tonight, I can’t just leave your matter aside.” Yang Ming smiled bitterly. “However, now it seems that the shares given to you are a little extra.”
“How could it be extra? Why? You don’t want to give it to me?” Jing Xiaolu immediately became a little unhappy after hearing it, and asked a little aggrieved.
“Originally, I gave you the shares to let you start a new life and run the company yourself.” Yang Ming explained, “But now, I might as well give you a lot of money and let you wait for me at home at ease.”
“Then I still want the company. I will wait for you in the company as well. I don’t want to stay at home every day as a housewife. I will be laughed at.” Jing Xiaolu shook her head, “Also, how cool is it that I am the chairman now. Everyone bows down to me. I don’t want to lose this feeling.”
Yang Ming listened to Jing Xiaolu’s words and smiled. He didn’t say much anymore, He just said, “It’s up to you!”
……
The barbeque shop was in shambles after the fanatic vandalism by its owner and Zhang Dapao. Looking at the barbeque shop filled with broken sc.r.a.ps on the floor, the shop owner finally woke up! What have I done? Am I possessed? Did I actually vandalize my own shop until it turned into this state?
It must be because of that guy previously. If he hadn’t forced me to do so, why would I do it? The shop owner’s eyes were filled with hatred once he thought of Yang Ming.
He never thought it was because he was too engrossed in smas.h.i.+ng that he didn’t stop when Yang Ming had told him that it was okay to stop smas.h.i.+ng.
“Zhang Dapao, stop!” The shop owner saw that Zhang Dapao was still looking for a target with the sledgehammer. He was instantly furious, “Have you not smashed enough? You’re making me lose everything!”
“Ah?” Zhang Dapao was scolded by the shop owner so quickly, he stopped his hand quickly with some grievances in his heart. Didn’t you just tell me to continue smas.h.i.+ng it? Why did you change your mind at this time? Is this a prank?
However, the shop owner was the boss and he was only an employee. How could he not listen to the boss? Zhang Dapao quickly threw away his sledgehammer and ran to the side of his boss, asking carefully, “Boss, what do we do now…?”
The shop owner looked at the mess in the shop. The more he saw, the angrier he became. A foreigner had come here and caused trouble in the shop owner’s territory just based on the fact that he knew some kung fu. He really didn’t want to live!
The shop owner would have been better off if he did not start thinking about this. With just a spark, it became unstoppable. The shop owner became more fed up the more he thought about it. He was a local bully. Now that he was bullied, how could he raise his head to face others now?
Thinking of this, the shop owner couldn’t help it, “Dapao, come here!”
“Boss, I’m here. What do you need?” Zhang Dapao stood beside the shop owner and asked hastily.
“You and that loafer Yao Sanpao are buddies, right?” The shop owner asked.
“Yeah, we are sworn brothers. I am Dapao, he is Sanpao. He is my blood brother too!” Zhang Dapao replied.
“Oh, how much would it cost to ask him to go and deal with a person?” The shop owner didn’t lack money. But he just couldn’t stand it.
“Deal with who?” Zhang Da Pao asked. “Is that the guy just now?”
“Yes, it’s him. It doesn’t matter how much money it is. You must let the kid know who is the strongest here!” The shop owner said fiercely.
