”Pooh! Sooner or later, things will not end well for your hired thugs!”
Zhang Donghai spat on Zhang Dashan's face. Contrary to his usual sycophant image, he looked surprisingly courageous and fearless now.
Zhang Dashan wiped the spit from his face. His eyelids twitched as his expression turned vicious. He said, ”Zhang Donghai, you receive paychecks from Luo's Workshop yet work for Taste Buds in secret. Do you think you're the f*cking sensible one here? Don't you know that's corporate spying? The law will make you liable!”
”You think I will be held liable? Haha! Haha!”
Hearing this statement, Zhang Donghai burst into mocking laughter, as if he'd just listened to a hilarious joke. Then, his face sunk, and he said menacingly to Zhang Dashan, ”You're assaulting me illegally right now. How dare you talk about the law? That's f*cking hilarious.”
Zhang Dashan was tongue-tied for a moment. He could only hold up his thumb and say with admiration, ”Fine. You're too good. I can't win an argument with you!”
”Brother Zhang, move out of the way. I don't f*cking believe that we can't teach him a lesson!”
Feng Wuhen was furious. He came forward and kicked Zhang Donghai's abdomen.
It was a forceful blow. Suddenly Zhang Donghai felt his gut scramble. In excruciating pain, he let out a blood-curling scream.
”Let it go. It's enough to give him a scare. Let's not cause any internal bleeding and bring more trouble to ourselves!”
Although Zhang Dashan had a brutal nature, he did feel a little bit of pity for Zhang Donghai, but only because he still looked like a man with a backbone even after taking a beating.
Feng Wuhen retracted his foot, turned around, and backed off.
Soon after, Xiao Luo, dressed in a black jacket with a white shirt, arrived at the warehouse. He stood with his hands behind his back and looked down at Zhang Donghai, who was on the ground.
”Give him a stool.”
”Yes.”
Feng Wuhen waved his hand. Xiaowu fetched a stool from the corner of the warehouse and helped Zhang Donghai get up on and sit on it.
Seeing Xiao Luo, Zhang Donghai chuckled and said, ”President Xiao, you're finally here. Your lackeys almost beat me to death.”
There was not even a shred of nervousness or fear in his eyes, let alone guilt. He was like a sacrificial man thrown into prison in ancient times who made his torturers lose their much-anticipated sense of fulfillment.
Xiao Luo smiled faintly and said, ”You're wrong. They're all my brothers!”
This one straightforward sentence swept away all the unpleasant feelings and grudges that remained in Zhang Dashan's and Feng Wuhen's hearts.
”Is that right? It seems like you guys are the mob...” replied Zhang Donghai, calmly and unhurriedly.
”Wrong again. There is no such thing as absolute black and white in this world. Only absolute interest. Since you've infringed upon other people's interests, you have to be prepared to pay the price,” said Xiao Luo.
Zhang Donghai sneered in disdain.
With a solemn face, Xiao Luo said, ”I have no intention of talking nonsense with you. Just one question: can you help me testify against Fang Changlei?”
”Testify for what?”
”For unfair competition.”
”Do you think that's possible? Haha!” Zhang Donghai laughed out loud. His face was filled with scorn.
”Do you refuse?”
”Of course. I'm indebted to President Fang. There is no way I would betray him.”
With a gentle smile, Xiao Luo spoke in a tone of quiet elegance, ”You will accept my offer.” Then, he pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket and gave it to Feng Wuhen, saying, ”Go to this place. Pick up his wife and child and bring them back to the company.”
