Chapter 389: Chapter 388: Turning Defeat into Victory
Ever since Wang Yan entered the Gangzhe Group, Li Gang had been constrained, the blood in his chest had been boiling for a long time.
But Li Gang kept clenching his teeth, unwilling to show weakness in front of Wang Yan, so he held back the blood. Now, upon hearing that Wang Yan hadn’t changed the formula, he couldn’t control it anymore and spat it out.
Originally, Li Gang thought that if Wang Yan changed the formula, it would be reasonable even if he lost. After all, he had managed to force Wang Yan into a change, which would count as a small accomplishment.
However, in the end, Li Gang realized that Wang Yan hadn’t changed the formula at all. With just a few simple words, he had ensnared him into a trap, and handed over the top-quality antler worth billions and the Gangzhe Building worth hundreds of millions to Wang Yan.
Looking back, he felt like a complete fool, not only helping Wang Yan acquire the top-quality antler but also losing billions in the process.
This truly was losing both the lady and the troops.
Thinking of this, Li Gang’s vision blurred again, and he couldn’t help but spew another mouthful of blood, nearly collapsing to the ground.
Seeing this, Li Zhe was already seething with anger. He yelled out and dashed to the desk, trying to grab and tear up the contract on the table.
If he tore up the contract, the Gangzhe Group would still be theirs, and the top-quality antler could still be sold to Wang Yan at a high price.
However, just as Li Zhe reached for the desk, Qin Tian let out a cold snort, raised his hand, and punched Li Zhe in the abdomen.
Li Zhe felt as if his stomach had been pierced, overwhelmed with pain, and his legs went weak as he slowly slid towards the desk.
As he knelt, Li Zhe’s trembling hand still reached for the contract on the desk, but the pain in his abdomen left him unable to stand, forcing him to watch helplessly as the contract moved farther away.
With a thud, Li Zhe knelt before Wang Yan’s desk.
Wang Yan glanced at Li Zhe nonchalantly and said, “No need to apologize, just leave.”
Li Zhe wanted to stand up, but was in too much pain to muster any strength, sweat rolling down from his forehead, causing his waist to bend even more, as if truly apologizing to Wang Yan.
Li Gang trembled as he walked to Li Zhe, helping him up, saying, “Let’s go. Though we’ve lost the building, we still have money. One day, we’ll make a comeback.”
Li Zhe gritted his teeth, stood up, glared at Wang Yan, and said, “Wang Yan, I can’t deal with you openly, but secretly, I will make sure you never have peace. Hmph, wait for it—getting backstabbed, having rocks fall on you, getting into car accidents—Wang Yan, I’ll make sure the rest of your life is never peaceful—”
Finishing his speech, Li Zhe laughed maniacally.
Hearing this, Qin Tian’s face darkened. He turned to Wang Yan and asked, “Too arrogant, boss, should I give him a lesson first?”
Seeing Qin Tian’s dark face, Li Gang’s expression changed. “Do you dare? There are surveillance cameras here. If you dare touch us, the police will come and arrest you.”
Wang Yan smiled slightly, waved his hand at Qin Tian, and said, “No need, let them leave.”
Upon hearing this, Li Zhe thought Wang Yan was scared, and immediately laughed out loud, saying, “Wang Yan, you’re finally scared, hahaha. Now you can’t touch me. As soon as I walk out of this door, I will make good on my words. I’ll be your nightmare for the rest of your life.”
With that, Li Gang and Li Zhe helped each other towards the door.
Seeing Li Gang and Li Zhe being so arrogant even after losing, Qin Tian, San, and others felt enraged, wishing they could rush over and give the father and son a good beating right there.
However, as Li Gang mentioned, striking here would have significant repercussions, also affecting the reputation of the Peak Group.
Though it might feel momentarily satisfying, it would have repercussions difficult to erase.
Li Gang and Li Zhe were likely banking on this, daring to be so arrogant.
Qin Tian and the others were indignant, seeing Li Gang and Li Zhe about to push open the office door.
Qin Tian angrily said, “Boss, are we really just letting them leave like this?”
Wang Yan replied calmly, “They want to leave, but can they?”
Hearing this, Li Gang turned back nervously and asked, “You… what are you doing?”
Wang Yan smiled slightly and said, “I’ve taken the Gangzhe Building. I’m afraid you have nowhere to live, so I’ve arranged a place for you.”
Seeing the calmness on Wang Yan’s face, with a hint of a cold edge, Li Gang’s complexion changed, suddenly feeling afraid.
Ever since he had crossed paths with Wang Yan, Wang Yan had been this calm, yet unknowingly, he had been defeated so terribly.
Now, seeing Wang Yan’s calm expression again, an icy feeling arose from Li Gang’s heart, suddenly realizing what Wang Yan was about to do would be even more painful.
Li Zhe, however, shouted defiantly, “Wang Yan, you can’t scare me, I grew up like this.”
Before Li Zhe finished speaking, suddenly the door swung open to reveal a dozen police officers standing outside, including Su Yamo.
Su Yamo looked coldly at the Li father and son and said, “Li Gang, Li Zhe, I am now arresting you in accordance with the law.”
Upon seeing this, Li Zhe’s face turned ashen, and he shouted, “What right do you have to arrest me? I’ve committed no crime! It’s illegal for you to arrest me.”
Seeing Su Yamo, Li Zhe was utterly terrified. This was the third time he’d been caught by Su Yamo. As soon as he saw her, he remembered the harsh nights in prison.
Su Yamo said expressionlessly, “What you say now will be used as evidence in court. You also have the right to hire a lawyer. If you resist arrest, I will use police restraints according to the law.”
Finishing her words, Su Yamo waved her hand and told the officers behind her, “Handcuff them, take them away.”
“No… no… Dad, think of something!” Seeing the officers approaching, Li Zhe urgently looked toward Li Gang.
By this time, Li Gang had become calm instead, raising his hands voluntarily, allowing the officers to handcuff him.
Seeing this, Li Zhe struggled to escape, but was restrained by two officers and forcibly handcuffed.
Seeing both himself and his father being arrested, Li Zhe was completely desperate, almost bursting into tears.
Yet at this moment, instead, Li Gang burst into hearty laughter, “Hahaha, I never thought I’d turn defeat into victory so quickly, did you?”
Li Zhe looked up, frightened, and said, “Dad, have you been affected? Don’t scare me.”
Li Gang glanced at Li Zhe and said, “Son, don’t be afraid, Wang Yan will soon be on his knees begging us.”
