Outside the Capital Clubhouse, Li Dong was fretting over his own handsomeness.
At the same time.
The Cheng family.
Cheng Gang was also fretting over Cheng Hui's whereabouts.
"Lao Si, you're quite good at running away!"
Cheng Gang sighed with a faint smile. Ever since he left the Capital Hotel, he had used all the resources he could to look for Cheng Hui.
It had only been a matter of ten minutes. Just like that, a living person had not been found for two days.
Cheng Hui was not a nobody. He was one of the faces of the Cheng family.
For someone like him, unless he did not show his face at all, it would be difficult to hide from Cheng Gang.
However, it was as if Cheng Hui had disappeared from the world. There was no news of him.
Cheng Gang looked at Cheng Ying, who had not spoken a word. He smiled. "Yingzi, it has not been easy for the four of us to reach where we are now after our parents passed away.
Outsiders only see our glory. How can they understand how much we have sacrificed to protect the reputation of the Cheng family when our parents passed away?
"At that time, when our father passed away, it was as if the sky had fallen.
"I can still remember the fear and helplessness I felt at that time.
"Later on, I gave up on my career and changed to a path that was easier to walk, a path that was less feared.
"From the government to the business world, I retreated again and again, giving up most of my resources.
"Even so, it was difficult for me to move forward. But at least we had a chance to breathe.
"Over the years, the Cheng family's life has been much better. Although it is not as good as when our father was still alive, we are more at ease because we do not get involved in political disputes.
"But Yingzi, don't forget that our roots are still in the political world!
"For many years, I have been unable to sleep at night, thinking that one day, we can return to where we belong, reclaim the reputation of the Cheng family, and reclaim the glory and power that belongs to us!
"Seeing that I am already 50 years old, I finally see a glimmer of hope.
"Now, there is a war going on outside, and it will not end anytime soon.
"Outsiders have also forgotten the existence of the Cheng family.
"As long as we control a few large corporations and complete the integration of resources, I will have hope to jump out of the business and return to the political world!
"Moreover, the Cheng family that will return is no weaker than before!
The hope of reviving the Cheng family is right in front of us! "
As Cheng Gang spoke, his eyes were burning with passion and madness.
Outsiders only saw their glory. How could they understand the disappointment and unwillingness of falling from the peak?
Back then, the Cheng Family was similar to the Cheng Family, but now, they were enjoying limitless glory and power.
The third generation and even the fourth generation began to shake the world in various fields.
However, what did the Cheng family have?
He was the pillar of the Cheng family. To put it nicely, he controlled a large conglomerate, managed tens of thousands of people, and had hundreds of billions of assets. He stood at the peak of Hua Xia.
But compared to the others, all of this was too lowly.
His rank was not low, and his status was not low either. He could even be considered to be on the same level as Qin Hanyuan and the others.
But in reality?
At the end of the day, he was just a CEO of a company, not an independent kingdom like Li Dong. He was just a professional manager.
If he really met people like Qin Hanyuan, Cheng Gang wouldn't even be qualified to carry their shoes.
When he met Du Anmin in the capital, he had to bow and greet him with a smile. How would he dare to offend him in the slightest?
Even though they were all on the same level.
However, a level was just a level. It didn't mean anything. When it came to actual power, they were worlds apart.
Therefore, Cheng Gang couldn't accept it!
Cheng Gang still had to greet and curry favor with those people whom he had once looked down upon and the younger generation of his circle.
People like Jia Wenhao were nothing in Cheng Gang's eyes back then. The people he befriended were from Jia Wenhao's father's generation.
Now, things had changed. Not to mention Jia Wenhao's father, even if Jia Wenhao was standing in front of him, Cheng Gang couldn't show any signs of taking advantage of his seniority.
What happened in the past couldn't be mentioned.
If he offended the other party, he would have to consider whether he would be suppressed or taught a lesson.
How sad!
Therefore, all these years, Cheng Gang had never given up on the idea of making a comeback.
Moreover, after waiting for so many years, the opportunity had finally come!
China Resources, Bailian, and Gome, three hundred billion dollar conglomerates. If they were to be unified, they could even control half of the retail industry.
Once he succeeded, he could use this as a springboard to negotiate and return to the field that he dreamed of.
In Hua Xia, money was no match for power.
Cheng Gang didn't crave money as much as he imagined.
Of course, he loved money too. However, Cheng Gang also knew that even if he could control a few conglomerates, other than Gome, the rest would have nothing to do with him. Unless he did something else, he would only bring influence.
What he needed was influence. As for money, it was fine as long as he had enough.
After all these years, the Cheng family didn't lack money.
Just Fukang Group alone was enough for them to live a carefree life. They didn't need to worry about money.
At this time, Cheng Gang yearned for something more than money.
At first, everything seemed to be going well.
However, suddenly, the situation changed.
Ever since Cheng Hui failed to scheme against Li Dong, Cheng Gang felt uneasy and dissatisfied.
In his plan, there was no such thing.
However, Cheng Hui had taken matters into his own hands and insisted on provoking Li Dong, which had already caused Cheng Gang to be greatly enraged.
Of course, in the beginning, Cheng Gang didn't think too much about it. After all, Cheng Hui failed and didn't hurt Li Dong's foundation.
Until yesterday, when Li Dong's simple words had instantly caused Cheng Gang's mood to plummet to the bottom of the valley.
Cheng Hui had caused a lot of trouble for him!
If it wasn't for Cheng Hui, Li Dong wouldn't have gone against him for no reason at all!
If not for Cheng Hui, he wouldn't have had to humble himself in front of Li Dong. He might even have been hit by a fatal blow at any time.
It was all because of Cheng Hui!
Coupled with some other reasons, and Cheng Hui's disappearance with the video …
All of this made Cheng Gang's heart grow colder and colder.
As for Li Dong, he could take his time to negotiate. In terms of interests, he could give in. Money was not necessarily a good thing.
However, Cheng Hui was a barrel of gunpowder!
He could explode at any time. Once he did, he would completely blow up and even the entire Cheng family!
As time passed and his fourth brother disappeared, Cheng Gang's heart grew colder and colder.
He could vaguely feel that the crisis was getting worse.
If he didn't find Cheng Hui soon, something big might happen!
Moreover, Li Dong was pressing him harder and harder, not giving him a chance to breathe.
If this went on, Cheng Gang felt that he would suffocate.
Therefore, he desperately wanted to get rid of Cheng Hui immediately and negotiate with Li Dong, giving up some of his interests in exchange for a chance to breathe.
As long as he didn't collapse immediately, he had hope.
In fact, Cheng Gang was thinking that he might be able to make use of Li Dong.
Li Dong had something on him and gained benefits from him. In the future, there might be more cooperation between the two of them, and more mutual benefits.
Sometimes, bad things could turn into good things. This was unpredictable.
Something on him was actually a double-edged sword. If he dealt with it well, he would become the foundation of Li Dong's trust.
Right now, the Cheng family was weak. If he really gained Li Dong's friendship, it would be equivalent to gaining the trust and friendship of a large number of people.
Perhaps, it would be much easier for him to kill his way back.
With this thought in mind, the threat of Li Dong in his eyes was actually far less than Cheng Hui. This was because he and Cheng Hui had no common interests to speak of.
The only thing that kept them together was not kinship or bloodline, but the glory of the Cheng family.
However, would that lunatic have any thoughts about the family's glory?
Cheng Gang thought about it for a long time and felt that the possibility was not high. He was a lunatic who had embarrassed the Cheng family more than once or twice. It would be strange if he really had any sense of family glory.
After understanding this, Cheng Gang was even more determined. He must not give Cheng Hui a chance to explode!
As he thought about this, Cheng Gang did not stop talking. He continued to talk about the glory of the past, his unwillingness, and the glory of the Cheng family …
Cheng Ying listened quietly, not saying a word.
After an unknown period of time, Cheng Gang suddenly stopped. He looked at Cheng Ying and slowly said, "Ying Zi, everyone has their own families now. Ah Xiong is not young anymore. That is your son. You don't think for yourself, but don't you think for your son? If the Cheng family collapses, will Ah Xiong still have a future to speak of? Every man for himself will be destroyed by heaven and earth. How can brothers compare to their children and family? How can they compare to themselves? We are not young anymore. As your big brother, there are some things that I don't need to teach you. You should understand it yourself. "
Cheng Ying, who had been silent for a long time, said softly, "Big Brother, I don't quite understand what you are saying."
"You understand!"
Cheng Gang said slowly. "I am still confident that Fourth Brother did not return to Shanghai.
If he did not return to Shanghai, the possibility of him staying in Capital is very high.
But Fourth Brother is here in the capital. Who would help him hide from my sight?
Among us brothers and sisters, you are the closest to Fourth Brother. You have doted on him since you were young.
But now, Yingzi, the Cheng family is in danger, and Fourth Brother wants to drag the Cheng family down with him!
Do you really want to destroy the whole Cheng family for him? "
Cheng Ying's face was a little pale. "Big Brother, what are you talking about? I am also worried that Fourth Brother is missing. Hua Nong has been asking why Fourth Brother did not return these few days. If he does not return, it will be hard to explain. I am also asking about the situation, but Fourth Brother is a living person. I really don't know where he went. Capital is so big. If Fourth Brother wants to hide, there is nothing we can do … "
Cheng Gang looked at her deeply. After a while, he chuckled. "Since you also don't know, then forget it.
But remember what Big Brother said. He is now a barrel of dynamite. Sooner or later, he will blow someone up.
If you see him, you must tell Big Brother.
A few days ago, Ah Xiong was pursuing the daughter of the Liu family. This is a good thing.
If he really succeeds, Ah Xiong will have a bright future.
But the Liu family is not an ordinary family. They may not be happy. If I can go one step further, it will be good.
But if I were to collapse, and if the Cheng family were to collapse, the best outcome for Ah Xiong in this life would be to be an ordinary person, like the common people, working from nine to five, earning a living, marrying an ordinary woman to spend the rest of his life …
Perhaps, such days will come soon. "
Cheng Gang sighed and waved his hand. "You can go back. I am a little tired."
"Big Brother …"
Cheng Ying looked confused. After a while, she said in a low voice, "What happened between you and Fourth Brother?"
Cheng Gang remained calm and said calmly, "It's not that there is anything between us. He has been resentful towards me for so many years. He feels that I have mistreated him. His heart is filled with resentment.
But if you ask yourself, he was the youngest. In terms of his future, I naturally have to consider you and Third Brother first.
When it comes to him, the family's resources are almost used up. These years, he has not been able to achieve anything.
This time, he offended Li Dong and caused us a lot of trouble.
Li Dong is not willing to let it go. I want him to take a step back and get through this first.
Once I'm done, I'll naturally help him turn things around.
But Fourth Brother thinks that I have given up on him. Ying Zi, tell me, can you blame me for being heartless?
Fourth Brother is now wholeheartedly resentful towards me, the whole Cheng family, and everyone. Coincidentally, some of my things have fallen into his hands … "
Cheng Gang did not continue. He shook his head with a pitiful expression.
He was certain that Cheng Hui had been hidden by Cheng Ying.
But even if Fourth Brother was with her, he would not tell her what had happened. Cheng Gang was sure of this.
Whether Cheng Hui was sick or not, Cheng Gang knew that he cared a lot about his reputation.
Even if it was Cheng Ying, Cheng Hui would not tell her the truth.
If that was the case, it was all up to him.
Cheng Ying's eyes were slightly suspicious. But she did not probe further. She nodded and said, "Big Brother, I understand. Don't worry. When I see Fourth Brother, I will definitely persuade him. Don't worry. "
Cheng Gang did not say anything and waved his hand.
After Cheng Ying left, Cheng Gang picked up his phone and made a call. He said in a low voice, "Follow her. Don't let her find you!"
After a short pause, Cheng Gang added, "If you find her, arrest her on the spot and inform me immediately!"
"…"
After hanging up the phone, Cheng Gang sighed and murmured, "Women are women after all. Is there really any kinship in such a family?"
…
At the same time.
Another person was crying and shouting, "Is there any kinship in our family? I just want to see my idol. You've grounded me for a few months. I'm dying. If you don't let me out, I'll really kill myself! "
Jia Wenhao, who had just returned to the capital, could not help but dig his ears. He sighed and said to his father, "Let her out. If we don't let her out, I'll go crazy even if she's not."
Jia Wenhao's father had a conflicted look on his face. He said helplessly, "Teach this girl a lesson. What happened last time has affected us greatly. Also, now that Li Dong is back in the capital, even if she wants to go out, she has to wait for Li Dong to leave. "
When he heard Li Dong's name, Jia Wenhao was stunned. After a while, he said, "Then she has to be grounded for a few more days."
The father and son looked at each other in agreement.
That God of Plagues always caused trouble wherever he went. If their daughter came into contact with him again, she might cause big trouble.
As for the little girl wanting to kill herself, the father and son pretended not to hear it. Only a fool would believe her!
As for kinship, if there was no kinship in the Jia family, this girl would have broken one of her legs after what happened last time. She would not have the energy to scream.
