Chapter 476: Preparing for Reincarnation

“Brother-in-law, he… he won’t be in trouble, right?”

In the car, Zhao Qingfeng asked a rather stupid question, feeling anxious.

Xu Shaochen smiled calmly: “Of course, nothing will happen. He’s just gaining experience for his next life, going to reincarnate a little earlier.”

Zhao Qingfeng’s face instantly turned pale, drained of all color.

“Be more careful next time. If I hadn’t arrived quickly this time, you would have disappeared without a trace. How would I explain that to your sister?”

Xu Shaochen looked at Zhao Qingfeng and said. Everything that happened today was undoubtedly a severe blow to him.

After all, before today, he was just an obedient kid. He always thought that no matter how dangerous modern society might be, it couldn’t be that dangerous.

But today, Liu Xiong and Xu Shaochen successively shattered his worldview.

First, Liu Xiong wanted to kill him. Then, Xu Shaochen lightly decided Liu Xiong’s fate.

Such things seemed utterly impossible to him before, but now they happened right before his eyes. How could the impact not be enormous?

However, Xu Shaochen paid no attention to him and was listening carefully to the contents of the recording pen.

There were two raw material suppliers colluding with Liu Xiong in total.

One was Dajiang Cement Factory, and the other was Yunzhong Steel Factory.

Xu Shaochen had set the standard that all raw materials must be of the highest quality in the industry.

But these two factories colluded with Liu Xiong, selling inferior goods at the price of superior goods, then splitting the difference with Liu Xiong.

“Tell me, aren’t people nowadays willing to risk their lives for money?”

After listening to the recording, Xu Shaochen looked at Zhao Qingfeng and spoke.

Zhao Qingfeng forced a smile but said nothing because he didn’t know what he should say.

“Long Er, make two copies of the recording and send them along with two bullets to the heads of these two factories. Tell them to get here before I finish work today.”

Xu Shaochen tossed the recording pen to Long Er and said nonchalantly. If they don’t come, those two bullets will be the consequences.

“Yes, Boss.”

Long Er nodded. In fact, he also pondered the question Xu Shaochen asked.

Logically, these two factories should not lack money, considering they could provide raw materials to Chen Yu.

But why would they do something like this?

After thinking about it, it was nothing but one phrase—insatiable greed.

They wanted to use the least capital to gain the maximum profit. Greed truly moves people’s hearts.

“Also, give the police station a call and tell them to go to Chen Yu based on the names in the recording pen and arrest everyone involved.”

Xu Shaochen’s words interrupted his thoughts.

When Xu Shaochen returned to the company, the police had just begun arresting people.

Several people within the company who had colluded with Liu Xiong and helped cover things up were all arrested.

“Chairman Xu, save us! We’ve been wronged, we’re innocent!”

“Chairman Xu, please save us!”

Seeing Xu Shaochen enter, the arrested individuals instantly cried out for help, as if he was their last lifeline.

“It’s fine. If you really are innocent, the police will clear your names.”

Xu Shaochen looked at them and spoke calmly, then waved his hand, signaling the police to hurry and take them away.

After giving it some thought, Xu Shaochen waved his hand, and a bodyguard quickly stepped forward, leaning in to listen for instructions.

“Go to the construction site and tell those guys to implicate the company employees who’ve been arrested in Liu Xiong’s murder.”

“Just say that they were dissatisfied with Liu Xiong’s payment, so they conspired with our company’s employees, who then ultimately carried out the murder of Liu Xiong. Both groups share the same crime.”

Xu Shaochen’s lips curled into a faint, cold smile as he whispered to the bodyguard.

By pinning the crime of conspiracy to murder on those traitors, they’ll spend the rest of their lives rotting behind bars.

After sending off the bodyguard, Xu Shaochen looked at the other employees in the company and said:

“The incident involving those individuals will be posted on the bulletin board. Anyone interested in the truth can go check it out. I only hope that everyone takes it as a warning.”

After speaking, Xu Shaochen walked toward his office.

……………

Dajiang Cement Factory.

This was a company that had only developed in the last few years. Relying on the founder’s aggressive tactics, it quickly defeated its competitors and gained dominance in several areas around Jiangzhou.

At the moment, in the Chairman’s office.

Chen Kaihe, the head of Dajiang Cement Factory, frowned deeply as he looked at the middle-aged man across from him and said: “Lao Zhang, you received it too, right?”

“Yeah, otherwise, would I be here?”

The middle-aged man nodded with some concern and threw a recording pen and two bullets onto the table.

His name was Zhang Zhongliang, and he was the head of Yunzhong Steel Factory.

Upon receiving these two items, instead of bringing anyone along, he drove straight to Dajiang Cement Factory.

“This is going to be troublesome.”

Chen Kaihe rubbed his temples, feeling fatigued. He leaned back in his chair, his thoughts racing.

“I kept saying from the start that this was risky, really risky. Haven’t you heard of Xu Shaochen’s name? How many big shots in Jiangzhou have suffered under him? But you insisted on going through with it, and now look, it’s all blown up.”

Zhang Zhongliang looked at Chen Kaihe and, in his tone, conveyed a mix of blame and resentment.

Chen Kaihe raised his eyebrows: “Lao Zhang, that’s not fair. Where was this talk when we were splitting the money? Is now really the time to be turning on each other?”

“Then what do you suggest we do?” Zhang Zhongliang asked.

“There’s no rush. I’ve sent someone to the city’s construction site to find out what’s going on with Liu Xiong. Let’s wait for news from him first.”

Knock, knock, knock…

Just as Chen Kaihe finished speaking, someone knocked on his office door.

“Come in.”

Chen Kaihe called out.

The door opened, and a young man strode in.

“What’s the news?”

Chen Kaihe immediately stood up from his chair, his face full of tension as he looked at the young man.

“Boss, Liu Xiong is dead. He was thrown into a mixer and ground to pieces by his own men. They’ve already turned themselves in.”

The young man said solemnly, clearly aware of the situation’s gravity.

Hearing this, Chen Kaihe and Zhang Zhongliang exchanged glances, both looking pale.

Neither of them could have imagined that Liu Xiong would die, and so horribly at that.

“Let’s go.”

After a long silence, Chen Kaihe sighed in resignation.

Zhang Zhongliang furrowed his brows: “You’re going to see him?”

“Do you have a better idea? Or are you not afraid of death?” Chen Kaihe retorted.

Zhang Zhongliang fell silent. With Liu Xiong as an example, neither of them believed Xu Shaochen wouldn’t dare turn on them.

“Sigh, we never should have been greedy. This money has been nothing but trouble.”

Zhang Zhongliang sighed, feeling deep regret. But unfortunately, there’s no medicine for regret.

“Take the money and go. Let’s double whatever we earned and give it back to him. Hopefully, we can still keep our lives.”

Chen Kaihe said helplessly. He hadn’t anticipated that not only would they fail to make money, but they’d also have to put even more into it.

What’s worse, he was worried that even if they offered more money, Xu Shaochen might not accept it.

If he didn’t take the money, then he’d definitely take their lives.
