The Prisoner Who Came Back a King
Chapter 20 – Chen Jia is furious
Liu Sandao knew what needed to be done next.
A bloodbath unfolded at the boxing gym, and all of Xie Haisheng's remaining forces would be completely eliminated tonight.
Over on Qingqing's side, the girl named Xiaolan's face changed dramatically as she realized the severe consequences of Xie Haisheng's death.
"Let's go, we're heading back."
With that, she quickly called Qingqing and the old man, taking advantage of the chaos to leave the boxing gym.
Tonight was destined to be an unsettling night.
This event would shake the entire city of Liancheng.
But all of this had little to do with Ye Feng anymore; he had already left the boxing gym.
Outside.
Luo Yan was terrified, her face pale as she blankly glanced back at the entrance of the boxing gym.
"It's okay now!"
Ye Feng resumed his calm and gentle smile, completely devoid of the sharp killing intent from earlier.
"Brother Feng, let's hurry back, I'm scared!"
Luo Yan's eyes were red, fear and grievance evident in her gaze.
Ye Feng knew today's events would leave a significant shadow on her, so he patted her head and comforted her, "Alright, let's go back now."
"Okay!"
Luo Yan nodded vigorously.
Ye Feng took the small electric scooter parked at the entrance, carrying Luo Yan, and disappeared into the dim night.
After dropping off Luo Yan, he returned home, and it was almost midnight. He quickly fell into a deep sleep.
At this time, Liancheng was in chaos. Due to Xie Haisheng's death, under Liu Sandao's command, violent clashes erupted everywhere.
Another force, led by a boss nicknamed One-Eyed Dragon, quickly received the news.
He sent people to seize Xie Haisheng's territory, and by the end of the night, both sides had taken over Xie Haisheng's original territory.
After occupying Xie Haisheng's territory, Liu Sandao and One-Eyed Dragon tacitly avoided conflict with each other.
A delicate balance was maintained, as Liu Sandao was wary of the strength One-Eyed Dragon had accumulated over the years.
Through the girl named Xiaolan, One-Eyed Dragon learned about everything that happened at the boxing gym, and he was even more wary of the mysterious young man's strength.
Liancheng was like a pond, inhabited by various fish and turtles.
Any slight disturbance could instantly shake the existence within the pond.
The Chen family, the top family in Liancheng, had been entrenched in the city for decades without decline, with family business assets worth billions.
They monopolized Liancheng's construction materials, real estate, and earthwork businesses, and neither the black nor white sides dared to provoke them.
The Chen family's businesses inevitably required protection from both the black and white sides, as anyone with a bit of information knew.
Among the three major forces in Liancheng's underworld, Xie Haisheng was merely a dog raised by the Chen family.
Now that Xie Haisheng had been killed by a mysterious figure, it deeply affected the Chen family's nerves, representing a huge loss for them.
"Investigate, find out for me!"
Inside the Chen family villa, in the spacious and luxurious hall, the Chen family head said loudly with a gloomy expression.
His son, the Chen family's eldest son, Chen Xuan, stood by, not daring to make a sound, carefully observing his father's expression.
Xie Haisheng's death meant something significant; he knew that eighty percent of their family's business relied on some unsavory individuals.
Now, with Xie Haisheng dead, their family's influence in Liancheng would inevitably weaken.
Although the family had martial arts experts to hold the fort, those were the family's foundation and couldn't be used lightly.
"Dad, what should we do now?"
"Useless, what else can we do? Find out who's behind this and send the family's experts to bring me their head."
Chen Hong said in a deep voice.
The Chen family had recently acquired a piece of land and was preparing to develop a plot. It was currently the critical period for demolition.
Originally, they planned to have Xie Haisheng handle it, demolishing the old buildings at a low cost, saving a significant amount on demolition expenses.
Now it seemed this matter would be delayed, and they might have to collaborate with One-Eyed Dragon.
Thinking about having to give up some benefits, Chen Hong was filled with resentment.
"What are you standing there for? Get on with it!"
Chen Hong angrily scolded Chen Xuan.
"Dad, I'll get right on it."
With that, he walked out...
Yunfeng Tower, the tallest building in Liancheng, was also the city's landmark, built with a twenty billion investment from Yunfeng Group.
The entire Yunfeng Tower was situated in Liancheng's most prosperous area, like a king overlooking the city, unmatched by anyone.
Even the major families in Liancheng could only look up to this lone enterprise that had risen in recent years.
In Liancheng, where every inch of land was precious, Yunfeng Tower's current value had multiplied several times over the initial investment cost.
Just the assets of this tower alone secured Yunfeng Group's position as the leader in Liancheng's business world.
The current head of Yunfeng Group, Xiao Jun, had been named an outstanding youth for three consecutive years, and even the authorities regarded him as a distinguished guest.
On the top floor of Yunfeng Tower, Xiao Jun, dressed in a sharp suit, stood elegantly yet luxuriously in front of the wide office floor-to-ceiling windows.
He quietly observed the panoramic view of Liancheng, the most beautiful scenery before him, but he had no heart to appreciate it.
Under his leadership, Yunfeng Group had developed according to the business blueprint left by Ye Feng, reaching its current scale.
The plan had been fully implemented, and the enterprise seemed to have hit a bottleneck, struggling to reach new heights.
This year, there were even signs of a slight decline, drawing criticism from many shareholders.
They believed Xiao Jun's position was illegitimate and that he lacked strategic vision as a corporate leader, making him feel somewhat threatened.
The main issue was that he couldn't form an overwhelming advantage over other shareholders with his shares.
Since Ye Feng was imprisoned, his shares had been confiscated and auctioned, and Xiao Jun had managed to acquire them.
However, fifty-five percent of the shares remained unaccounted for, leaving the position of the company's major shareholder vacant for years.
Those shares were a thorn in his side, deeply embedded and impossible to remove.
Over the years, he had attempted several times to reform the company's board, introducing financing to dilute that fifty-five percent of shares.
Then, through manipulation, he could smoothly become Yunfeng Group's major shareholder and rightful leader.
But each attempt was met with opposition from other shareholders, and his shares never reached over fifty-one percent, preventing him from implementing his plans.
"Even in death, he won't let me rest."
Xiao Jun cursed bitterly, his face devoid of elegance, replaced by a sinister expression.
The implication was clear; he was referring to Ye Feng, whom he believed was still in prison.
"Chairman Xiao, this year's board meeting is scheduled for three days from now. Is there anything else you need to arrange?"
A sexy female secretary in a white blouse and short skirt, with a front protrusion and rear lift, walked in and cautiously asked.
"Proceed according to the established schedule!"
Xiao Jun replied indifferently, a hint of determination in his expression. Since they were unwilling to cooperate with the reform, he would have to take a hard approach.
