There were so many important matters in Beijing that Ling Yun had to deal with personally. Why did Ling Yun suddenly return to Qingshui at such a critical juncture?
No one knew better than Tang Meng!
This time, Ling Yun wanted to get rid of all the obstacles in Qingshui City. He wanted to make his own territory impregnable and remove all the worries in the future!
He wanted to unify Qingshui City and intimidate the entire Jiangnan region so that the other powers wouldn't dare to covet Qingshui City anymore!
This was the only way he could focus on the battle in Beijing and lead the Ling Family back to the top of China!
Tang Meng's excitement was indescribable as he watched Ling Yun get rid of Lu Guanwang and Li Jiujiang in just a few moves. As long as Big Brother Yun could trample over Xie Zhenting and Gou Liancheng in one go, the entire Qingshui City would truly belong to Ling Yun. There would be no more obstacles in his way!
When that time came, Tang Meng would have both money and power. He would be able to traverse both sides of Qingshui City. What benefits couldn't he reap?
However, at this crucial moment, Tang Meng would never have imagined that Gou Liancheng would voluntarily kowtow and admit his mistake!
This was equivalent to throwing a punch with all the strength in his body but hitting nothing but air. It was so frustrating that you wanted to vomit blood!
How could there be such a good thing in this world?
Evil must be eradicated! What was Tang Meng most afraid of now? He was most afraid of Ling Yun's soft-heartedness!
Moreover, based on Tang Meng's understanding of Ling Yun, Ling Yun seemed to have accepted Gou Liancheng's apology because he allowed Gou Liancheng to kowtow without stopping him.
If Gou Liancheng was allowed to return to the world and regain his footing in Qingshui City, Tang Meng wouldn't be able to eat or sleep in peace!
That was why Tang Meng was infuriated. He couldn't let that happen.
More importantly, would Ling Yun be soft-hearted when his opponent admitted defeat?
Ling Yun only smiled and waved his hand to stop Tang Meng from continuing. He then turned to Gou Liancheng and said, "Boss Gou, you don't look good in public. Please get up and speak …"
Gou Liancheng remained kneeling on the ground and didn't get up. "Young Master Tang is an influential figure in Qingshui City now. He's right. It wouldn't be enough for me to kowtow and admit my mistake, but I still have something to say …"
Gou Liancheng was completely defeated. He didn't even care about his reputation anymore.
"I will write a contract. All of my assets in Qingshui City, including my company, real estate, real estate, hotels, bank deposits, stocks, and so on, as long as it's under my name, I will unconditionally transfer it all to Young Master Ling as compensation …"
"From now on, I'm all alone. You can beat or kill me as you wish. You have the final say!"
"Hmph, Gou Liancheng, even though your assets are huge, they are insolvent now. From today onwards, I'm confident that I can purchase all of your assets in less than three months. Why would I need you to give them to me?" Tang Meng snorted coldly without waiting for Ling Yun to respond.
"Moreover, don't think that I don't know that you still have a lot of assets under the names of your wife, your son, and your brother. You call this being all alone?!"
Gou Liancheng remained kneeling on the ground, and his voice became extremely calm. "It seems like Young Master Tang has misunderstood me. When I said the assets under my name, that naturally included their share. All of them will be transferred to Young Master Ling's name."
Gou Liancheng was thorough. There was no quibble in his rebuttal to Tang Meng. He said it calmly. Anyone could tell that he didn't hold anything back.
Tang Meng didn't expect Gou Liancheng to be so thorough. He was stunned for a moment. He opened his mouth, but all he could do was to snort loudly to express his displeasure.
Gou Liancheng definitely couldn't run away now. However, he had given all of his assets to Ling Yun without any hesitation. He had become a penniless pauper. What was the point of teaching him a lesson?
Ling Yun was still smiling. He patted Tang Meng's shoulder lightly to calm him down. Then, he said to Gou Liancheng, "Oh? If Boss Gou is so generous, there must be some conditions. "
Gou Liancheng's body trembled. "There are two small conditions."
Ling Yun said calmly, "Tell me about them."
"My younger brother, Gou Lianshan, offended Young Master Ling because of me and my son. I don't expect to be able to bail him out of prison, but I hope that Young Master Ling can be merciful and relieve him of his pain so that he can have a better life in prison …" Gou Liancheng said.
"I promise you!"
Ling Yun agreed without any hesitation. Gou Lianshan had once spoken rudely to Ling Yun and was taught a harsh lesson by Ling Yun. In the end, he had to pay a painful price. After he was sent to prison, he had to endure the pain of his meridians flowing in reverse every day.
"Thank you, Young Master Ling, for your mercy."
Gou Liancheng was a shrewd person. He knew that Ling Yun would definitely agree to his request. Hence, he quickly thanked him. After some hesitation, he made his second request.
"My son, Gou Junfa, was young and ignorant. He offended Young Master Ling because of jealousy in school. After that, he didn't know his place and dared to bet a hundred million yuan with Young Master Ling. Now, Young Master Ling is the undisputed champion of Qingshui City's college entrance examination. There is no doubt about it. Young Master Ling won that bet!
"I hope that Young Master Ling will spare his life on account of his desire to avenge me. At least, we can continue the bloodline of the Gou Family."
After witnessing Ling Yun's absolute strength and nature-defying performance, Gou Liancheng was in complete despair. He no longer had any thoughts of going against Ling Yun.
Kowtowing to admit his mistake, forgoing revenge for the rest of his life, giving away all his assets, everything he had, all for two requests: to relieve his younger brother's pain and to save his son's life!
Ling Yun had already agreed to the first request!
Tang Meng was furious!
Gou Liancheng and Tang Meng did not have any conflicts in the past, nor did they have any direct hatred towards each other. Everything that happened between them was tied to Gou Junfa.
When Ling Yun went to the crater, Xie Zhenting and Luo Zhong had the upper hand. Xie Junyan and Gou Junfa were tyrannical in school, pressuring Tang Meng to the point of suffocation!
That wasn't all. They even teamed up to tease Ning Lingyu. Tang Meng couldn't take it anymore and went to settle scores with Xie Junyan and Gou Junfa. However, he was cruelly broken by them!
The sneer of a nouveau riche, the humiliation, and the pain of his broken limbs. This was Tang Meng's blood feud, a scar that he would never be able to erase!
It wasn't easy for Tang Meng to hold back from hunting down his enemies all over the world because of Ling Yun's matter. Now, Gou Liancheng wanted to save his son's life?
However, no matter how angry Tang Meng was, it was Ling Yun who had the final say here. He didn't act rashly. Instead, he turned to look at Ling Yun to see what Ling Yun's decision would be.
At that moment, Xie Zhenting also looked at Ling Yun anxiously. This wasn't just about Gou Junfa's life. It was also about his son, Xie Junyan's life!
Xie Zhenting could tell that even though Ling Yun was absolutely domineering and heaven-defying, he had his own bottom line for everything he did.
For example, when it came to politics, Ling Yun beat up three experts from the Sun Family mercilessly. However, he didn't lay a finger on Li Jiujiang …
Now, both parties were negotiating over a personal grudge. Gou Liancheng was already so pathetic. Would Ling Yun be soft-hearted?
If Ling Yun was willing to let Gou Junfa off, then Xie Zhenting would kneel down to Ling Yun without hesitation and beg Ling Yun to let Xie Junyan off!
Of course, Ling Yun wouldn't let his brother down!
He smiled faintly. "Boss Gou, I have to say that you're really smart and know when to advance and retreat. What you said today was indeed sincere …"
"However, I, Ling Yun, will never agree to your second condition!"
Ling Yun said resolutely.
"If, I'm saying if …"
Ling Yun glanced at Xie Zhenting as he said this. He continued, "If your son didn't break my brother's arms and legs when you were in power, then you wouldn't have to give me your assets or apologize to me. We could have settled everything over the dining table.
"It's not wrong for men to be lecherous. You're rich and powerful. It has nothing to do with me if your son is arrogant and unreasonable, as long as he doesn't provoke me.
"However …" Ling Yun raised his hand and pointed at Gou Liancheng. "You actually dared to touch my woman. Your son wanted to bully my sister. Your son even broke my brother's arms and legs. If it wasn't for me, my brother would be crippled for life and spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair!"
Ling Yun's voice became colder and colder. "Now, you want to use money to buy your son's life? Not even ten billion or a hundred billion will do! Not to mention a door, you don't even have a window! "
"Big Brother Yun!"
Before Ling Yun could finish his sentence, Tang Meng and Tie Xiaohu, who were beside him, trembled and roared in agitation!
Who were Tang Meng and Tie Xiaohu? They were brothers who had gone through thick and thin with Ling Yun!
When Tie Xiaohu was imprisoned and Tang Meng's arms and legs were broken, the other party couldn't find Ling Yun. He vented all his anger on his brothers and family. Tang Meng wasn't the only one who remembered this grudge. Tie Xiaohu remembered it too!
Ling Yun remembered it even more!
No amount of money could buy Ling Yun's brotherhood. On this point, even the Emperor of Heaven wouldn't give him any face!
"Thump!"
Gou Liancheng's body suddenly tilted to one side as if all the energy in his body had been sucked out of him. He fell to the ground as he panted heavily. His eyes were glazed over and he was in a daze.
His words were on point. He thought that he would be able to move Ling Yun. However, who knew that Ling Yun wouldn't buy his last request!
Ling Yun's cold, emotionless voice rang out. "On account of your sincerity, I will spare your life and save your brother as long as you can do what you want. However …"
"You must bring your son, Gou Junfa, to me and my brother. As for his life and death, it's not up to me. It's all up to my brother!"
"And you, Deputy Mayor Xie, I don't think I need to say anything more, right? I can stay out of your officialdom matters, but your son must be handed over to my brother to deal with! "
"Whether you accept it or not, whether you bring them here or not, they won't be able to escape. I will definitely avenge my brother! I promise that I will do what I say! That's all I have to say! "
Ling Yun was as domineering as ever. He had given Tang Meng enough face.
Tang Meng's eyes were filled with tears. Blood rushed to his head! (To be continued.)
