Normally, if someone dared to speak to Hong Gangdong so arrogantly, he would have rushed up and knocked the person down with a single punch.
But at this moment, Hong Gangdong didn't dare to let out a fart. He stood there trembling all over.
He dared not turn back to touch Jiang Mengxin, nor dare he move forward to Qiu Zhen's car. He just stood there, unable to advance or retreat, as if deaf.
Seeing this, Qiu Zhen already sensed something was wrong.
He roared again, "Sect Leader Hong, what are you afraid of? You can easily deal with Poison Dragon Drill, yet you're afraid of a weak woman who can't even tie a chicken?"
Poison Dragon Drill... dealt with?
Upon hearing this, Jiang Mengxin was stunned for three seconds before bursting into laughter.
"I can't, this is killing me with laughter."
"Qiu Zhen, what are you saying? Hong Gangdong defeated Poison Dragon Drill?"
"Are you out of your mind?"
Qiu Zhen was confused and at a loss for words.
As for Hong Gangdong, he was mortified on the spot, wishing he could dig a hole and bury himself, never to show his face again.
Qiu Zhen asked, "Jiang Mengxin, why are you laughing? Is there something wrong with what I said?"
Jiang Mengxin waved her hands repeatedly, "There are many problems. Sect Leader Hong did indeed cross paths with Poison Dragon Drill, but the problem is, he was no match for Poison Dragon Drill at all and was crushed unilaterally! How did it become that he defeated Poison Dragon Drill in your account? Hey, hey, hey, where did you get this gossip from? It's too ridiculous."
Hearing this, Qiu Zhen's face turned green and then white.
The information was wrong!
He had made a huge blunder!
He thought Hong Gangdong had defeated Poison Dragon Drill, but he never expected the truth to be that Poison Dragon Drill had unilaterally thrashed Hong Gangdong.
Qiu Zhen gritted his teeth in anger, "Hong Gangdong, you lied to me?"
Hong Gangdong's face was crestfallen. He said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Qiu. I originally wanted to deny it, but you gave me too much, and I was greedy for a moment and told a small lie."
"I...!" Qiu Zhen, a scholar, was so enraged he spewed profanities.
He took a deep breath.
Qiu Zhen forced himself to calm down and continued, "Even if you can't defeat Poison Dragon Drill, dealing with a small, weak woman should be no problem, right? Hong Gangdong, as long as you eliminate Lu Ming and Jiang Mengxin, I'll still give you 3 million."
Hong Gangdong frowned deeply, "Mr. Qiu, I can't do it."
"Why?" Qiu Zhen didn't understand.
"That..." Qiu Zhen turned around and pointed at Lu Ming with his finger, saying, "The man who defeated Poison Dragon Drill is this man named Lu Ming. I am no match for him, I can't beat him."
Huh?
Qiu Zhen was shocked again.
Yes, he had heard that Lu Ming's martial arts were good, he had some skill, but he didn't expect Lu Ming's skills to be so exceptional that even Poison Dragon Drill fell into his hands.
Hong Gangdong was thrashed by Poison Dragon Drill, and Lu Ming defeated Poison Dragon Drill.
Then Hong Gangdong was certainly no match for Lu Ming.
Everything became clear.
Qiu Zhen fiercely slammed his car door and glared at Lu Ming, saying, "Fine, you've got some skill, kid. But don't get too happy too soon. The Murong family's influence in Modu is beyond your imagination! As long as you dare to stay in Modu, the Murong family will make you sink here and never be able to return to Jinling!"
After issuing his threat, Qiu Zhen got into his car and drove away.
Lu Ming glanced at Qiu Zhen's car, then at Jiang Mengxin, and said, "The Jiang family really has quite a few enemies."
Jiang Mengxin said, "It can't be helped. The Jiang family and the Murong family have had a long-standing feud. The Jiang family has no roots in Modu, while the Murong family has been operating here for a long time, so we need to be even more careful in the future."
The two of them got back into their car and left directly.
At the scene, only Hong Gangdong was left bewildered in the wind.
Qiu Zhen didn't take him, and Jiang Mengxin didn't take him. He stood alone on the asphalt road, extremely awkward.
"Hey, is this how it is? Not a bit of sympathy." Hong Gangdong shrugged and shouted towards a car driving up from behind, "Hey, good Samaritan, give me a ride, I'll pay 200 yuan!"
...
The Mercedes drove to the Xiao family building.
As soon as the car stopped, the patriarch Xiao Wenrong, along with his men, rushed over, asking anxiously, "President Jiang, Sister Xu, we heard that you were ambushed by the Murong family on the way? Are you alright?"
Jiang Mengxin and the others got out of the car.
She smiled and said, "We're fine, not a scratch. Instead, we witnessed a good show."
"A good show?" Xiao Wenrong didn't understand.
Xiao Zhan stepped forward and said, "This Murong family is truly despicable, especially Murong Ba. He's sharp-tongued, mean, and wicked! He's bullied our Xiao family countless times, and I've wanted to kill him for a long time."
Although he said that, the Murong family's strength far surpassed the Xiao family's, and they were simply not in a position to provoke the Murong family.
There was no other option but to endure it.
Jiang Mengxin said, "Where there's a will, there's a way. With the Jiang family and the Xiao family joining forces, we will surely achieve great things! Once our new company develops and takes market share from the Murong family, then we'll see how Murong Ba continues to be arrogant."
Xiao Zhan nodded repeatedly, "Agreed!"
Jiang Mengxin asked, "There's no time to delay, let's go and research the specific business of the new company right now."
The group walked into the building to discuss the various matters of the new company.
This trip to Modu was not just about establishing a new company for Jiang Mengxin, but more importantly, it was about establishing a foothold in Modu, cultivating her own influence, and snatching business from the Murong family, squeezing their market!
The Jiang family and the Murong family had temporarily shifted their main battlefield from Jinling to Modu.
...
On Xuhui Commercial Street, Qiu Zhen returned to the card room dejectedly.
Seeing Qiu Zhen's demeanor, Murong Ba guessed most of it without asking, and simply asked, "Failed?"
Don't let Murong Ba's casual demeanor fool you; he was actually very cunning.
A smiling tiger, old and sly.
Qiu Zhen nodded.
Murong Ba wasn't angry. While playing mahjong, he asked, "What was the reason?"
Qiu Zhen explained the whole process in detail.
A moment later.
Murong Ba wasn't angry at all; instead, he burst into laughter.
He mocked, "Qiu Zhen, you've done so many things for me, and this is the first time I've seen you mess things up so badly. Damn, you were actually fooled by Hong Gangdong! Hahaha, it's hilarious."
Qiu Zhen said indignantly, "Master Ba, don't worry, I will definitely atone for my mistakes! According to the latest news, Jiang Mengxin's purpose for coming to Modu is to join forces with the Xiao family to establish a new company. Furthermore, the business of their new company is exactly the same as ours! Jiang Mengxin is here to steal our business!"
Hmm?
The smile on Murong Ba's face vanished, replaced by a terrifying expression.
"Her?"
"A brainless idiot woman dares to provoke the mighty."
"She dares to touch my Murong family's business, hehe, this time she's finished if she doesn't die!"
