Lei Qianjun nodded indifferently, then raised his wine glass to Gaoqiao Qingshan opposite him, and said with a smile, "Thank you for your help, Qingshan Jun! Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to completely defeat the entire Lingtian Group."
The hall was not a lively celebration banquet, as Gaoqiao Qingshan disliked such an environment. He casually had Lei Qianjun arrange some delicacies from the Four Island Nation, and the two sat opposite each other, drinking.
"It was just a small effort!"
Gaoqiao Qingshan looked calm, as if he hadn't taken the matter to heart at all.
Of course, this battle was indeed quite easy for Gaoqiao Qingshan.
Three billion had arrived. This money was earned with considerable ease and pleasure.
However, Lei Qianjun did not consider it a small effort!
This battle was a decisive one for the fate of the Wuhu Group!
Yang Fei's serious injury and escape, and the capture of all high-ranking officials of the Lingtian Group, meant that the struggle between the two sides had finally reached a conclusion.
It ended with the great victory of the Wuhu Group!
After taking a gulp of wine, Lei Qianjun's eyes flashed with sharp brilliance, and then he waved his hand towards the martial artists behind Tang Zhao and the others!
Swish, swish!
The hoods were removed from Tang Zhao and the others. They were in a state of extreme disarray, but their expressions varied.
Although their mouths were gagged and they could not speak, some were angry, some were terrified, and some kept letting out muffled sounds of pleading.
At this moment, Li Shan also looked up. His face was covered in blood, but his eyes were fixed on Lei Qianjun, like a wild beast, ready to tear into Lei Qianjun at any moment!
Lei Qianjun clearly saw Li Shan's frenzied demeanor, but he let out a disdainful snort, then scanned everyone.
"The Lingtian Group has been completely absorbed by the Wuhu Group. From now on, there will be no Lingtian Group in Hanjiang! Now, I will give you a chance to live!"
Lei Qianjun paused, then spoke in a cold voice, word by word: "Submit, or die!"
"Mmm, mmm..."
Lu Youhai immediately grunted, his expression extremely anxious.
He was one of the five general managers of the Lingtian Group, and his actions naturally attracted Lei Qianjun's attention.
Seeing this, Lei Qianjun's lips curved into a triumphant smile.
It seemed that this matter was much easier than he had imagined!
He casually raised his hand, and someone immediately stepped forward and removed the rags from everyone's mouths.
"Cough, cough, Old Master Lei, spare... spare my life, I am willing to submit, I am willing to submit!"
"I own one-tenth of the shares in the Lingtian Group, please spare my life!"
Lu Youhai crawled to Lei Qianjun's feet, repeatedly kowtowing and begging for mercy.
"Lu Youhai, you traitor! I will kill you!"
Before Lei Qianjun could speak, Li Shan roared furiously at Lu Youhai.
Lu Youhai glanced back at Li Shan, who was like a mad dog, and couldn't help but tremble.
But looking at the martial arts powerhouses of the Wuhu Group around him, he immediately regained his confidence and retorted to Li Shan, "Li Shan, who the hell do you think you are, to dare to curse me! If you have the guts, don't submit, just wait to die!"
"Lu Youhai, I slept with your grandmother..."
Slap, slap!
Li Shan was about to curse again when he was slapped twice by someone beside him.
Two broken teeth were directly spat out, and blood splattered all over the ground!
This scene terrified everyone around. Immediately, several more high-ranking officials of the Lingtian Group crawled to Lei Qianjun's feet, repeatedly begging for mercy.
"I submit, don't kill me!"
"I don't want to die! Patriarch Lei, please take me in!"
Tang Zhao watched Lu Youhai and the others groveling and begging for mercy, his heart filled with rage.
He then looked at Li Shan, who was beaten beyond recognition, and the veins on his forehead throbbed. He then turned his head sharply and looked at the other three people beside him!
There were five general managers in the Lingtian Group. Now that Lu Youhai had submitted, what about the other three?
"I... I don't want to die! Director Tang, I don't want to die!"
"Now, Mr. Ling is dead, and Yang Fei is also dead. We have lost, we have lost, so we must admit defeat!"
Facing Tang Zhao's gaze, one of them couldn't help but wail, trembling as he crawled towards Lei Qianjun.
Lei Qianjun finally showed a smile. Seeing these people submit instantly relieved the pent-up emotions he had felt over the past few days.
"Heh heh, those who know the times are the true heroes! From now on, you can all stay in my Wuhu Group and serve me!"
Lei Qianjun laughed heartily, feeling more comfortable than ever.
He turned around, his posture arrogant, and his demeanor嚣张 (xiāo zhāng - arrogant/presumptuous), looking down at Tang Zhao and the others, and said indifferently, "What about you few? You refuse to submit now, are you looking for death?"
Lei Zhengtang also laughed wildly and shouted, "I have never seen anyone who is not afraid of death. Tang Zhao, if you kneel down and beg for mercy, I might spare your life!"
Tang Zhao gritted his teeth and stared at Lu Youhai and the others, his eyes almost bleeding.
He never expected that his old friends, whom he had sincerely recruited, would be so despicable.
"Mr. Ling, Tang is ashamed of your spirit in heaven!"
Tang Zhao cried out, raised his head, and slowly closed his eyes!
He was ashamed to death!
But a smile appeared on his lips. He had lived most of his life, and he had forgotten how the earlier years had passed.
Now, only the memories of the past half a month remained.
After meeting Ling Feng, they founded the Lingtian Group, and watched it grow little by little, even surpassing the Wuhu Group, and eventually swallowing it whole.
In these short half a month, he felt that his life had been so wonderful.
"Come on, if you have the guts, kill me!"
When Tang Zhao opened his eyes again, they were filled only with a look of determination, and his face was even a little ferocious.
"Old Tang, we'll die together if we die!"
Suddenly, a voice came from beside Tang Zhao.
The voice was not loud, but it was firm and powerful.
Tang Zhao's eyes widened abruptly, and he turned to look. Beside him was Guo Zhigang!
At this moment, Guo Zhigang's face was full of smiles, as if he had no awareness of facing a life-or-death choice.
Tang Zhao's eyes also felt hot, and tears involuntarily rolled down.
"Good brother, we'll die together!" Tang Zhao said with a trembling voice.
At this moment, the person next to Guo Zhigang, the shortest and most inconspicuous of the five, Lu Ming, said with a trembling voice, "If my head is cut off, it's just a scar the size of a bowl! If I betray Mr. Ling, I, Lu Ming, am not worthy to have come into this world!"
"Old Tang, Old Guo, your brother will accompany you on the road!"
Lu Ming's last sentence was shouted out, using almost all his strength.
Although the three of them were kneeling on the ground, the aura of facing death with equanimity that emanated from them shocked the entire audience.
