Chapter 453 - Defection

ered himself as much as possible. Wang Zheng smiled but didn't say anything else, tilting back his head and swallowing the sake.: Thanks for the votes from brother zsxleee and the support from zry6308...Chapter 453: Turning Traitor

Wang Zheng smiled and pushed open the door. Seeing Pan Xiaoning in just underwear, he sniffed the air and said with a smile, "Looks like Master Pan has quite some leisurely time to enjoy himself here."

"What's it to you if I'm enjoying myself" Pan Xiaoning retorted angrily, thinking that his father was here and Wang Zheng wouldn't dare act so arrogantly.

Pan Liming felt a mix of emotions when he saw Wang Zheng suddenly appear.

He had heard stories about the Eastern Tyrant King and witnessed Wang Zheng's lightning-fast movements. Against such an opponent, even if he sent all his men, it wouldn't be enough to fill their bellies.

"I came to talk to you," said Wang Zheng with a smile.

"What is there for us to discuss" Pan Liming knew that at this moment, even if Wang Zheng wanted his life, he would have no ability to resist. In the face of absolute power, all schemes were paper tigers.

"Dad, what's the point of talking with him Just find some people and throw him out!" Pan Xiaoning couldn't stand it anymore.

“Get out!” Pan Liming feared his son would anger Wang Zheng and slapped him, causing the young master to stagger.

"Out!" Pan Liming pointed at the door with a wave of his hand.

Pan Xiaoning glared resentfully as he stumbled out in just underwear.

“Boss Pan really knows how to discipline his child. Today I truly saw it for myself,” said Wang Zheng, smiling.

"Just say what you want," said Pan Lianming, knowing that resistance was futile at this point. Since the other party had come looking for him, it clearly meant they were well-prepared; his bodyguards weren't a match for them.

"I previously asked for the entire Black Hand Society in exchange for something else. Will you give it to me" Wang Zheng said.

Finally, here it comes!

Even before Wang Zheng spoke, Pan Lianming knew what he would say. Because Wang Zheng had mentioned using Pan Xiaoning as a bargaining chip for the Black Hand Society previously, only Pan Lianming hadn't agreed to it.

But now that Wang Zheng was making this demand, did Pan Lianming even have the right to refuse

"I know you'll be reluctant and捨不得," Wang Zheng said with a smile. "How about we modify our terms Would you agree"

Pan Lianming's throat moved up and down as he thought, Could I possibly refuse

"Just say it." Pan Lianming now had a mindset of throwing caution to the wind; none of his previous arrogance or cunning remained.

"Divide all your casinos equally with the Changbai Society," Wang Zheng said with a smile, as if discussing something trivial.

"Half of all my casinos"

The Black Hand Society had over 300 businesses across Fuzhou, and giving half away would surely weaken their power significantly!

"That's right, and it’s the most profitable half. We can leave out those small inns, hotels, and internet cafes," Wang Zheng said with each word draining Pan Lianming of blood.

"Don't worry too much. I know you still have several factories and trading companies under your control. These are untouched, they remain yours. How does that sound"

Pan Liming's brows furrowed deeply. He understood that if the White Head Society took over his most powerful operations, it would give them a firm foothold in Fuzhou, leaving the Black Hand Society completely at their mercy and starting from a disadvantageous position once they lost control of their territory.

What if the White Head Society then proceeded to eliminate him thoroughly Would there be any chance for the Black Hand Society to turn things around then The answer was obvious.

However, apart from this, he had no other options left.

Pan Liming was about to reluctantly agree when Wang Zheng added another condition with a smile.

"This is just the first point; don't rush."

"A scoundrel who eats his prey and spares no bones!" Pan Liming thought inwardly, but on the surface he showed little reaction: "What's the second point then"

Wang Zheng narrowed his eyes and said, "The second point is to bring down Zhang Yanhang. And in all of Fuzhou, only you have the capability to do so."

"Bring him down" Pan Liming’s gaze sharpened.

To topple a provincial Party committee member was such an arduous task in China Not to mention Zhang Yanhang was also the second son of Zhang Huawu, effectively the actual ruler of Fuzhou. Bringing someone like that down would certainly come with a heavy price, possibly even one's own life!

There was no doubt that over the years, Pan Liming and Zhang Yanhang had been entangled in mutually beneficial dealings, each providing the other with what they wanted, leading to their combined absolute control over Fuzhou. Pan Liming surely had evidence of Zhang Yanhang's illegal activities; those who frequently walk by the river must always leave themselves a way out.

However, Wang Zheng’s words made Pan Liming even more worried.

The Black Hand Society and Zhang Yanhang were collaborating with each other, of course, it was mutual collusion. They were like pulling out a radish to bring up the mud; if Zhang's affairs were exposed, Pan Lianming would definitely not escape legal punishment.

If Pan Lianming reported on Zhang Yanhang and made public all the evidence he had in hand, that would be akin to injuring an enemy but also harming oneself. Only a fool would do such a thing!

But faced with Wang Zheng's threat, could he refuse

He couldn't refuse!

If he didn't try to bring down Zhang Yanhang, it would ultimately be himself who was destroyed.

Pan Lianming shook his head and sighed. He had been dealing with Zhang Yanhang for many years; although they weren't exactly friends, they were mutually beneficial entities, with intricate ties between them. This time to expose the other party made him feel uneasy in his heart, plus pulling out a radish brought up the mud, he probably wouldn’t have a good end either in this regard.

Wang Zheng clearly saw what Pan Lianming was hesitating about and said with a smile: "Actually, you don't need to worry too much. Zhang Yanhang has been dealing with more than just you for years; he must surely have many skeletons in his closet elsewhere as well. I believe that with your methods, you must already possess quite a bit of information in this regard. If you release the evidence unrelated to yourself, it will be enough to bring down Zhang Yanhang."

Pan Lianming was still deep in thought.

"Perhaps you don't know that State Security has been keeping an eye on you for a long time; if you cooperate well this time, there won’t be any trouble from their side. If your cooperation is insufficient, the consequences are something you understand."

After a pause, Wang Zheng continued: "At that time, even without my intervention, State Security's ruthless crowd wouldn't let you off."

"I get it," Pan Lianming said with a solemn tone: "Give me five days to gather and organize the materials."

"Three days. No more than that." Wang Zheng narrowed his eyes and said.uding their logistics routes. Every channel and sales process is clear to me."Qiang Dongsong hated Black Military School with every fiber of his being; even though he was trained by them, it almost co...
