Chapter 36: Chapter 36, Xu Wendong Must Die

Uncle Fu had not yet spoken when Wu Mei’s voice rang out, ”President Zhao, Uncle Fu rarely eats freshwater fish, so how would he know there’s more bones in freshwater fish?”

As she spoke, she turned the round table to bring the four-holed carp in front of her, then picked up a piece of meat from the fish’s belly with serving chopsticks and placed it on a plate, moving it in front of Uncle Fu. ”Uncle Fu, you are a guest. We should offer you the best part of this fish. This part has fewer bones, suitable for children and older people, at least without worrying about getting a bone stuck in the throat.”

Uncle Fu responded politely, ”Miss Wu, you are very considerate. In that case, I’ll have this piece of fish belly.”

Zhao Sihai, sitting nearby, was filled with suspicion. He couldn’t understand why Wu Mei would offer the fish belly to the other side.

Before he could react, Wu Mei’s voice rang out again, ”We are willing to offer the best part of this fish to Shengpeng Group. What can Shengpeng Group offer us in return?”

Uncle Fu replied, ”We are willing to use our connections to help President Zhao secure the major project of rebuilding South City at the lowest price. If your company needs funding, Shengpeng Group is also willing to lend a hand.”

Wu Mei raised her wine glass, a charming smile appearing on her coldly glamorous face. ”In that case, here’s to a successful collaboration!”

Uncle Fu held up his glass in the air. ”To a successful collaboration!”

The four of them drank together.

At this moment, a knock on the door sounded, and Zhao Dahua pushed the door open and entered.

”Why are you only coming now?” Zhao Dalong’s eyes flashed with displeasure.

Zhao Dahua chuckled awkwardly and was about to speak when he noticed Uncle Fu and swallowed his words.

Seeing this, Uncle Fu got up and said, ”President Zhao, I’ve eaten and drunk enough, so I won’t disturb you any longer. Farewell.”

Zhao Sihai did not try to retain him and responded politely, ”Take care, Uncle Fu.”

After the others had left, Zhao Sihai looked at Zhao Dahua and gave a heavy, cold snort, ”Do we have to wait for you to eat?”

Zhao Dalong and Zhao Dahua were brothers, while Zhao Sihai was their cousin.

Wu Mei’s slightly lazy voice rang out. ”I heard you sent out dozens of brothers earlier. What were they doing?”

Zhao Dahua shivered and exclaimed in terror, ”Big brother, I was wrong, I was wrong. All those brothers have ended up hospitalized...” He then explained the grudge and conflict with Xu Wendong.

Zhao Sihai was stunned after hearing this, ”One person defeated sixty-eight of our brothers, leaving everyone severely injured and hospitalized?”

Zhao Dahua was nervous, ”It sounds unbelievable, but it’s true. Xu Wendong’s strength is terrifying; he even deformed a car’s A-pillar with a punch.”

Zhao Dalong was shocked, ”When did Qingyuan produce such a fierce character?”

Wu Mei, in contrast, remained calm. She sat there languidly, holding a high-stemmed wine glass elegantly and gracefully. ”There will always be some extraordinary beings in the world. As long as they don’t affect our interests, there’s no need to concern ourselves with them.”

Zhao Sihai’s eyes were fierce. ”I’ve been in Qingyuan for so many years and have never been so humiliated. If Xu Wendong is allowed to get away with this, won’t my reputation become gossip for the people of Qingyuan? If that happens, where will my face go?”

Wu Mei suggested, ”Then seal the news, don’t let outsiders know.”

”Big brother, Miss Wu is right.” Zhao Dalong also gave his opinion, ”South City is about to undergo reconstruction. This is a special time, and we should be restrained. If any trouble arises that displease the higher-ups, the cost would be too great.”

Zhao Sihai’s face was gloomy, suppressing his anger. At this point, he could only put revenge aside. Though he valued his reputation, he knew how to identify the stronger party.

He turned to Wu Mei. ”Why did you give the fish belly to Uncle Fu earlier?”

Wu Mei countered, ”He came to us for cooperation, which means he needed something. Why should we give him the choice? Wouldn’t that make us look too humble?”

Zhao Sihai was momentarily stunned, then smiled broadly. ”Miss Wu has it right. I was too hasty and overlooked this aspect.”

”You’re right. This big fish belongs to us. It’s our prerogative to decide what part to offer, not his.”

Suddenly.

His phone rang. Seeing the number, Zhao Sihai frowned slightly. It was Boss Chen from West City calling.

They had intersected before, but it was mostly limited to nodding greetings when they met. However, conflicts simmered beneath the surface, though they had not openly fallen out.

So, he was puzzled as to why Boss Chen would call him.

Even so, he still pressed the answer button and said politely, ”Boss Chen, with your busy schedule, what brings you to call me?”

Chen Ping’an laughed and asked, ”President Zhao, I heard all sixty-eight of your men were hospitalised by a mysterious person. Is this true?”

Zhao Sihai’s expression froze instantly. He had no idea how Boss Chen knew about this, but he still said, ”Boss Chen, I don’t know where you heard this rumor, but I can responsibly tell you, this is completely untrue.”

”Can’t be, can’t be, can’t be.” Chen Ping’an laughed menacingly, ”This has spread across the entire underworld, and Boss Zhao still denies it? A responsible man like you, how have you turned into a turtle in its shell?” He said and hung up the call abruptly.

Bang!

Zhao Sihai flew into a rage, flinging his phone to the floor with force, his face dark and an intense hostility radiating from him.

Zhao Dahua quickly lowered his head, trembling with fear because he knew everything today was his fault.

”Our brothers have been beaten by Xu Wendong and hospitalized. This news has spread all over the underworld.” Zhao Sihai gritted his teeth, ”If Xu Wendong isn’t killed, I will certainly become a laughingstock. Not just by underworld people but I might fail to secure the South City reconstruction project.”

Zhao Dalong looked nervously at Wu Mei, ”Miss Wu, what should we do about this?”

Wu Mei gave her opinion, ”President Zhao is right. If we don’t deal with Xu Wendong, it will be difficult to secure the South City reconstruction project.”

”Even if we spend heavily to secure the project, the later stages will involve demolition work in many old residential areas. If our Black Dragon Hall is attacked without the ability to strike back, the later work will be challenging.”

Zhao Sihai gritted his teeth, ”Xu Wendong must die!”

”He can’t die.” Wu Mei’s face revealed a playful smile, ”Killing such a super-skilled person would be such a waste, wouldn’t it? Don’t worry, President Zhao, I will tame him and use him for my purposes.”

Zhao Sihai’s eyes lit up. Wu Mei was as clever as a demon, with the face of an angel and the body of a devil. If she took action personally, how could Xu Wendong not fall under her charms?
