Chapter 337 You're Dead for Sure
"Is this your idea of mediation?" Xu Yang revealed a scornful smile on his face.
He had thought that this Wang Tongshan might have some real skills to show.
But it turned out to be just about paying off the problem with money.
If money could settle it, he would not have come to Fengcheng.
"Then what exactly do you want?" Wang Tongshan furrowed his brow and asked.
He had thought that by stepping in and saying a few words, perhaps upping the compensation amount, the matter could be settled.
However, from Xu Yang's tone, it seemed that no amount of money would make him drop the issue.
"My demand is simple, he stops protecting Li Changsheng and his son, and hands them directly over to me, or allows them to turn themselves in. Either way works for me," Xu Yang said.
"That's impossible, my younger nephew has already been sent in by you, my older nephew absolutely cannot go in!" Zheng Kaiyang immediately refused, shaking his head.
"Then there is no need to talk, your company can just wait for bankruptcy," Xu Yang said indifferently.
"Xu Yang, the fact that Brother Wang and I have come to talk to you is already showing you a lot of face, Brother Wang added five million, and you still won't accept, then forget it. I'd like to see what ability you have to bankrupt me!" Zheng Kaiyang scoffed.
"Then just wait and see," Xu Yang retorted with a cold laugh.
"Young man, you're being a bit too aggressive," Wang Tongshan said, his brow furrowing.
"I'm being aggressive?" Xu Yang let out a derisive laugh. "You already know the situation and yet accuse me of being aggressive? Let me ask you this, if I drove into your wife and offered ten million in compensation, would you just let it go?"
Wang Tongshan's face turned ugly, but he did not answer.
If someone did that, of course, he couldn't just let it go.
It's not about the ten million compensation—even if it was a hundred million, he could not let it go.
He must make that person pay a heavy price.
Xu Yang sneered, "You're silent, but I get your point. It seems that when the problem doesn't affect you directly, you can talk without feeling the pain. The kind of person I despise the most is someone like you!"
Zheng Kaiyang's expression turned grim: "So it seems you have no intention of giving me face?"
Xu Yang's expression turned cold: "What are you, to have face in my eyes!"
Hearing this, Wang Tongshan completely lost his temper: "Alright, alright, alright, with that statement alone, from this day on, you are my enemy!"
"So what if I'm your enemy," Xu Yang said disdainfully, "Do you think that just because of your ruthless streak, you can intimidate me? Don't think I don't know what kind of person you are; to me, you are nothing!"
Wang Tongshan shook his head and chuckled coldly, "You say you know who I am, I really don't believe it."
"You don't believe it?" Xu Yang said. "Then let me tell you about yourself. You're fifty-three this year, your first bucket of gold came from settling a matter for a boss, earning you two hundred thousand. Later, as reform and opening-up surged, the steel industry saw a wave of marketization, and relying on connections, you saw an opportunity to strike it rich, investing in a small steel mill.
At thirty, you merged several poorly managed state-owned steel mills and gradually became unstoppable, eventually becoming the steel tycoon of Fengcheng."
Wang Tongshan frowned, "This is something everyone knows, what's your point in saying all this?"
Xu Yang said coolly, "My point is very simple, I want you to stay out of this. Otherwise, the affairs of you illegally seizing state-owned steel mills will come to the attention of the relevant authorities. Since you've done this, you should know that once these issues are investigated and confirmed, you'll know how many years of prison you'll face."
Wang Tongshan's heart raced, and his face turned a shade paler.
Back in the day, when he established the small steel mill, they had no real steel-making technology.
He relied on his relationship with the manager of a state-owned steel mill to haul steel from them every night at low cost and sell it outside for a huge profit.
The efficiencies of those state-owned steel mills deteriorated even more because of what he did.
His small steel mill was actually just a shell.
Later, his seizure of the state-owned steel mills reached a maniacal extent.
When a deputy manager who cared about the steel mill and the workers' welfare discovered his scheme and gathered evidence to report him, he personally led people to beat the whistleblower into a vegetative state.
Similar incidents were plentiful.
If these were verified, they would at least warrant a life sentence.
These incidents happened a long time ago, and very few people knew about them.
Unexpectedly, Xu Yang knew them in such detail.
This reminded him of Xu Yang's ability to dig up dirt on people, which inevitably made him feel a bit intimidated.
However, he soon calmed down.
So what if Xu Yang knew? It wouldn't be easy for him to mess with me.
With this thought, Wang Tongshan let out a cold laugh, "I don't know what you're talking about."
Xu Yang responded with a cold laugh, "Whether you know or not, you're clear in your heart. If you continue to meddle in this matter, you're aware of the consequences."
A vicious light flashed in Wang Tongshan's eyes, "Are you threatening me?"
Xu Yang nodded, "Exactly, I am threatening you!"
The vicious light in Wang Tongshan's eyes intensified, "Do you know what happens to those who dare threaten me?"
Those who dared to threaten him never ended well, either gravely disabled or reduced to a vegetative state.
"I don't know and I don't want to know. All I know is that if you continue to get involved, I know what will happen to you," Xu Yang said, his expression unchanging, clearly not intimidated by Wang Tongshan.
"Fine, you just wait," Wang Tongshan left with those harsh words, standing up and exiting.
"Kid, you're done for." Zheng Kaiyang's mouth curved into a smile, he pointed a finger at Xu Yang, and got up and left as well.
Xu Yang had angered Wang Tongshan, and even if he said nothing further, Wang Tongshan was going to come after Xu Yang regardless.
With Wang Tongshan's methods, if he went after Xu Yang, Xu Yang was certainly not in for a good outcome.
It didn't matter if he was a billionaire, or if he had jovial exchanges with the wealthiest Wang—it was useless.
Exiting the building.
Zheng Kaiyang asked, "Brother Wang, what shall we do next?"
Wang Tongshan said nothing, his expression shifting uncertainly, as if in contemplation.
After the two got into the car, a vicious light flashed in Wang Tongshan's eyes, and he made a throat-slitting gesture.
Zheng Kaiyang was not at all surprised; this was in line with Wang Tongshan's character, who usually would resort to such measures in situations like this.
That's why he had said Xu Yang was surely done for when they left.
Therefore, he said, "Brother Wang, you got involved in this to help me, so whatever you do, I'm with you."
Wang Tongshan smiled faintly, "Alright, call Liang Wujun, let's go see him together."
Zheng Kaiyang nodded, immediately took out his phone, dialed Liang Wujun's number, and put it on speaker.
The call connected quickly.
Before Zheng Kaiyang could speak, a hearty laugh came through the phone.
"Haha, Brother Yang, your company has really made a name for itself today."
On the other end of the phone was Liang Wujun, as mentioned by Wang Tongshan.
Liang Wujun was an underworld boss in Fengcheng, and many dirty deeds within the circle were handled by him.
