CHAPTER 206: CHAPTER 205: UNLUCKY AH KUN (3/3)

Ah Kun’s main source of income was collecting high ’sanitation fees’ and ’management fees’ from the urban village Sanli Village in Ningchuan. As a local, he, along with a few mates from the village, had been doing this job from the start, earning a considerable income every year.

As Ningchuan developed better and better, more people came to work there, so their income increased, and under him, many underlings were recruited, making the business exceptionally good.

But Ah Kun had a concern, and that was the Baihua Kindergarten.

The kindergarten was run by an old man, and it accepted children of martyrs, orphans, and even abandoned children with disabilities.

Morally, they shouldn’t be collecting the ’management fee’ and the ’sanitation fee’ from Baihua Kindergarten.

However, business-wise, they had to be ruthlessly strict.

If they didn’t charge this place today and that place tomorrow, would they still be in business? Would they still collect money?

So, basically, every time Ah Kun would personally go to collect the money, but the old man was also financially tight. When in a good mood, Ah Kun didn’t say much.

When in a bad mood, Ah Kun would curse a few times.

Later, as the old man’s debts grew, Ah Kun got anxious; this severely undermined his authority.

Once, Ah Kun even beat up the old man.

Today, he went to collect the debt, determined that if they didn’t pay again, he would demolish Baihua Kindergarten!

However, he got beaten up!

And it was by a man whose both arms were injured, wrapped in bandages, and wearing casts!

This was a blow to Ah Kun’s pride.

Immediately, Ah Kun called in a group to properly teach this man a lesson and, by the way, demolish Baihua Kindergarten to assert his authority!

Upon hearing that Brother Kun was beaten, everyone was furious, grabbing their knives, guns, and sticks to avenge Brother Kun!

...

On the other side, Xiaowang peeked out from in front of a bright black sedan.

Seeing a bright green van parked not far from Baihua Kindergarten, he felt relieved.

Earlier, he saw Yang Chen get into a conflict and was afraid things would escalate, so he called for backup and prepared contingency measures.

...

Ah Kun was full of rage.

"Damn it, dare to hit me, today I’ll teach him a lesson! Acting so arrogant in Sanli Village, really courting death! Don’t they know whose territory this is?" Ah Kun cursed.

Others followed suit, "Yeah! Courting death!"

"Beat him to death!"

"Kill him!"

"Dare to hit Brother Kun, I’ll fight him to the death!"

"Avenge Brother Kun later!"

"Teach him a good lesson!"

...

A crowd yelled.

The villagers around and people living in the village saw this scene and quickly moved away, fearing getting into trouble.

Not far away, Xiaowang saw this scene and immediately widened his eyes, "They’re really rebelling!"

Immediately, Xiaowang signaled to the car over there.

...

Brother Kun pointed to Baihua Kindergarten and shouted, "It’s this school, go in later and smash it hard! If you see someone with both arms in bandages, beat them! If they die, I’ll pay for it!"

"Yes!"

A group of people answered in unison, creating a grand momentum.

At this moment, a group of people suddenly jumped quickly from a green vehicle.

This group wore black jackets and held police batons in their hands.

About twenty people, but they moved swiftly, rushing toward Ah Kun’s side.

Before they understood what was happening, they were charged by these twenty people, unable to resist, and were directly knocked to the ground!

What happened?

They were dumbfounded.

The passersby around were also dumbfounded.

Was it resolved before it even started?

Most importantly, each of the twenty people in black took out handcuffs and cuffed these people!

Seeing the handcuffs, these people were so scared their legs went soft, couldn’t even pull them up.

But whether they could get up or not was not up to them?

The people in black directly dragged them and threw them into the green van.

Seeing this kind of van, anyone would know it was used by the Guard!

They had offended someone important!

Ah Kun was so scared he wet his pants on the spot.

Although he was tough in the village, offending the Guard made him feel like dying!

...

Yang Chen heard the commotion outside, finished speaking with Qin Zhiyuan, came out, and looked around curiously.

He had clearly heard a crowd shouting outside, why was it so quiet? The street was also so deserted...

Yang Chen shook his head and went back to continue talking with Qin Zhiyuan.

...

East Beach Wilderness Residence.

By the time Yang Chen came back, it was already evening, and with him was Chen Siyan, whom he brought along to take care of Wei Xueqing. She took turns with Ye Xin, which was somewhat better.

As soon as Chen Siyan saw Wei Xueqing huddled on the sofa, she immediately went up and held Wei Xueqing, shedding tears, "Sister Xueqing!"

Wei Xueqing gave a faint glance at Chen Siyan, withdrew her arm from Chen Siyan’s hands, shifted her body, and continued looking out the window.

Yang Chen glanced at Wei Xueqing, walked to a corner, sat down quietly.

Chen Siyan, unclear of the situation, looked at the worried Ye Xin, then at the aloof Wei Xueqing, not knowing what happened.

Seeing Chen Siyan looking at him, Yang Chen turned his head away, finally simply stood up, went to the study, opened the computer, and started investigating some account issues.

He felt there was something fishy here and could find some clues from it.

After investigating some online accounts, Yang Chen didn’t find any problems.

Through some deep web channels, Yang Chen found that Liu Chengpeng had indeed purchased these gold pieces long ago and accumulated them bit by bit, reaching a scale worth seven billion, which was very substantial.

Liu Chengpeng’s financial sources did not come from business but from investments.

His vision was very good, having invested in many valuable companies, earning substantial returns.

In Yang Chen’s view, Liu Chengpeng currently held plenty of shares and didn’t need to covet these shares of the Shangdong Group, so why was he doing this?

Yang Chen couldn’t figure it out.

He stood up and paced around in the study.

Suddenly, Yang Chen noticed a book on the shelf, placed prominently.

"The History of Shangdong Group’s Establishment."

This should be a limited edition, personally commissioned by Wei Qingzhong.

Yang Chen took it from the shelf, placed it on the table, and gently flipped through it.

Shangdong Group was founded nearly thirty years ago.

In the earliest days, during Wei Qingzhong’s youth, he sold hardware and chemical tools together with Liu Chengpeng.

It detailed many events regarding Liu Chengpeng; the book served as a memoir from Wei Qingzhong’s perspective.

It mentioned starting the business was tough; they slept under bridges, had their tools stolen, and were so poor they could only pool money to buy one steamed bun.

They picked up cigarette butts to smoke in parks...

Both went through difficult times.

Later, with the nationwide economic boost, the two earned their first bit of money, then founded their company, each holding fifty percent of shares and investing jointly.

However, the profits were not good; during the most difficult times, both personally carried manual switchboards for cold calls to raise salaries for employees.

Once when the office rent expired, and the office was repossessed, they had to move the desk to the roof to work.

That day, during a heavy rain, Liu Chengpeng cried to Wei Qingzhong, saying he couldn’t hold on anymore.
