Capítulo 1232: Chapter 838: Demands

“Qian Zhongshu!” Liu Hun said coldly to Wang Gui.

Upon hearing this, Wang Gui showed no hesitation at all, he directly nodded to Liu Hun and continued, “Back then, I met Qian Zhongshu by chance and learned about some things between him and you in Qinghe Town. So at that time, I decided to take him in, even train him, ultimately preparing him for today’s event. After all, this matter always requires a scapegoat.”

“You knew from the beginning about my method of controlling people into puppets?” Liu Hun’s eyes flashed with cold light.

“I didn’t know, but I knew that keeping this guy might be useful for you in the future, and for a person to grow, pressure from all sides is needed. It’s only then that you’ll progress, right?” Wang Gui frankly confessed to Liu Hun.

Regarding Wang Gui’s words today, even now, Liu Hun’s heart was somewhat shocked because no matter from which aspect, this matter was something Liu Hun had never anticipated.

Originally, Liu Hun even thought that today he only needed to deal with the people present, and then the situation in Southeast Province would almost stabilize. At that time, he could leave for Beijing without any concerns.

But he hadn’t expected that today’s arrival would bring so many revelations, and Liu Hun could almost certainly conclude that these matters couldn’t be fabricated by Wang Gui on a whim.

Even if there were some discrepancies, most of what Wang Gui said was true, and in this way, it definitely had a big impact on Liu Hun.

The secret of eternal life, whether in ancient times or now, holds great allure for everyone, and no one can resist this temptation. Just like the most powerful Qin Shi Huang in history, who spent decades searching for the secret of eternal life; and now, it’s the same.

People are like this: the higher the status, naturally, the less they want to die. Liu Hun knows this very well.

“If nothing unexpected happens, I will go to Beijing tomorrow!” Liu Hun took a deep look at Wang Gui in front of him, and ultimately decided.

Some matters, Liu Hun and Wang Gui both know what’s going on, and they have talked about so much just now, as for what will happen next, nobody can know.

Just like Wang Gui said, Liu Hun needed him now, and Wang Gui likewise, if he wanted to save his girlfriend, he needed Liu Hun’s help. Therefore, between them, it could be considered mutual use and mutual help, at least their goals were aligned in this aspect.

“If that’s the case, then I’ll leave this place temporarily to you. I think you should know how to handle it. I’ll head off first, later when you get to Beijing, feel free to reach out if you need anything.” After finishing his words, Wang Gui left a business card and firmly responded to Liu Hun.

After hearing Wang Gui’s words, Liu Hun didn’t say much, nodded to him, and Wang Gui directly left the conference room.

However, just as Wang Gui exited the conference room door, looking at the dense swarm of insects and ants around, his expression involuntarily showed a few traces of shock.

“Able to control the activity of insects and ants? This… It’s a bit too spectacular…” Wang Gui took a deep breath, then stepped forward with large strides. He believed Liu Hun wouldn’t harm him, so he naturally wasn’t too worried about these insects and ants attacking him.

Sure enough, as soon as he took a step forward, the surrounding insects and ants opened up a path for him. Seeing this scene, he became more certain that Liu Hun could accomplish what he needed. “Boss, are we just going to let this guy leave like this?” Watching Wang Gui’s silhouette slowly departing, Wang Xiaofei and Old Ghost walked slowly into the conference room, and Old Ghost worriedly asked Liu Hun.

“We have no other choice now; the things he told me today indeed have a significant impact on me, but just like he said, I need him now, and he needs me too. Just having this is already enough, as for the remaining issues, who can be sure about the future.” Liu Hun took a deep breath and lightly tapped his foot on the ground.

A wave-like force rippled directly outwards, and shortly thereafter, everyone in the room had already awakened.

Looking at the somewhat bewildered faces of everyone, Liu Hun maintained a calm expression.

“Liu… Liu Hun…” As everyone slowly awoke and saw Liu Hun standing above in the conference room, their expressions suddenly showed a few traces of shock.

Just now, they were discussing how to deal with Liu Hun, and in the blink of an eye, Liu Hun was right in front of them. This situation seemed a bit outrageous.

After all, all of Liu Hun’s previous information had been laid out in front of them. If Liu Hun got upset at this moment and decided to eliminate them, they would be truly unlucky, and that’s not the outcome they wanted to see.

“Yes, it’s me. Are you all very surprised?” Liu Hun glanced around at everyone present and then answered calmly.

“This…” Once they heard Liu Hun’s words, no one knew what to say, and at this moment, none of them dared to cross Liu Hun; otherwise, who knows what Liu Hun might do.

“Since you’re not speaking, let me briefly explain the situation now. First, your lives are all in my hands, which means if I die or have an accident, you all will die too. You shouldn’t hope for Wang Gui to help you because currently, he and I are in the same camp. Moreover, no one can speak of today’s events; if they do, they face a dead end as well. Now, do you understand what I mean?” Liu Hun spoke calmly to the people, slowly.

Hearing Liu Hun’s words, all of their faces turned slightly pale, and most of them even showed some anger.

After all, these people are typically the big shots from each province, usually high and mighty, rarely threatened like this.

“Liu Hun, do you know what you’re doing right now?” At this moment, someone suddenly stood up and spoke to Liu Hun angrily.

Upon hearing this voice, Liu Hun turned his head, smiled, and continued to speak, “I wonder if you know what you’re doing? And do you really believe what Wang Gui said?”

At this point, Liu Hun paused, noticing the puzzled looks on everyone’s faces, and then sneered, “You are mere cannon fodder for this matter, whether to me or to those above. If it were as Wang Gui said, they wouldn’t have sent you to trouble me. The reason they didn’t seek trouble with me is that I belong to the Liu Family in Beijing.”

“Moreover, today I can tell you that those puppet conversion things you’ve seen before were not done by me, Liu Hun. Instead, it was orchestrated by those above. Although I still don’t know who the user is, I believe they’ll emerge soon enough. You should know better than me in this circle; I’m merely a small entrepreneur. If I really had such great ambition, I wouldn’t waste so many words with you. I’d turn you into puppets right away. Whether you believe it or not doesn’t matter; just remember that your fate is in my hands. If I want you dead, you die immediately!” As Liu Hun finished speaking, his eyes were filled with a chilling coldness.

“Liu Hun, do you really think you’re invincible? Do you think we’d believe your nonsense?” As soon as Liu Hun finished speaking, someone in the crowd disdainfully questioned him.

Upon hearing this, Liu Hun’s lips curled slightly. He slowly raised his head and snapped his fingers, sighing, “Since you don’t believe what I say, let me show you now.”

As Liu Hun finished speaking, the middle-aged man who had just spoken immediately went pale. The next moment, he clutched his chest with both hands, looking at Liu Hun with agony and fear.

The intense heart pain made him unable to utter a single word; he could only slowly feel the sharp agony.

“Pfft!” A few seconds later, the man coughed up a mouthful of crimson blood, and his enormous body crashed to the ground.

Even in his final moments, his eyes were filled with terror, not knowing how he died.

“Does anyone else have questions?” In the blink of an eye, Liu Hun had killed a provincial big shot, and at this moment, Liu Hun’s expression showed no trace of worry. Instead, his gaze remained incredibly calm.

As his eyes swept over everyone, there was silence. No one dared speak, understanding the fate of the middle-aged man, which proved Liu Hun wasn’t bluffing.

If anyone were blind to the situation now, they might be next.

No one wants to die, and that’s indisputable. So, at this moment, their eyes were filled with fear as they gazed at Liu Hun, unable to say anything in response.

“Regarding the authenticity of this matter, I believe Mr. Zhang and Mr. Cheng will confirm it later. For now, I just need you to fulfill a few things. I won’t demand much now, but don’t get involved. In the future, if I need anything, you must fully support me. Besides, when you go back, if anyone doesn’t listen, just remove them or something. How to do this is your business, not mine. I just need you to tightly control the influence of your provinces. Do you understand?” Liu Hun took a deep breath, and his gaze turned cold as he looked at everyone and spoke slowly.

This time, after Liu Hun finished speaking, no one responded because they all understood clearly that Liu Hun’s actions were akin to wanting control over all provinces. This is no small matter.

While they were pondering, Mr. Zhang and Mr. Cheng sighed and then slowly stood up from their seats.
