Chapter 756: Wen Han's Guarantee

"Brother, we can't let them go; if we let them go, we're finished for good. They're all people who don't keep their word," Shi Yong said.

"Shi Yong brother, look at how you speak. We'll leave right now; we won't meddle in the Zaocheng affair any longer," Hou Laoban said.

"Your guarantee is useless, like a fart."

"Alright then, Wen Han, say a few words," I said directly to Hou Laoban.

Hou Laoban chuckled and fell silent.

"Jianqiang brother, what am I saying? We're all old friends," Wen Han said, not wanting to make a promise.

"So, Wen Han, I'll go back to Sijiucheng with you, leave the decision to you."

"Everyone else goes back. I'll take you to Sijiucheng, then come back, okay?" I said to Wen Han.

"This really isn't necessary, Jianqiang brother, how about this: I swear I will never come to Zaocheng again,

and leave the Da Heng Group matters to Zhao Xiaohua."

"If I come looking for trouble again, I won't meet a good end," Wen Han assured me.

Hearing Wen Han's guarantee,

I laughed heartily, "Everyone, did you hear that? That's Mr. Wen's guarantee. Mr. Wen, you say, do I believe your guarantee?"

Wen Han was startled by what I said,

"Jianqiang brother, look at what you say. I've already sworn, what more could there be?"

"Some matters getting out of hand aren't good either."

"Yes, harmony is precious.

Hou Laoban, could you do me a favor and bring some wine?"

"I want to have a drink with Mr. Wen, shall we cooperate? We should have a glass of red wine."

"Right, from now on, our relationship will still be cooperative; we have no major disputes. The main problem is that Hou Laoban is incompetent and his messages are poorly conveyed. I'll settle scores with Hou Laoban later," Wen Han said.

Hou Laoban still wanted to say something,

I gave Hou Laoban a glance, Hou Laoban hurriedly scrambled out the door, arranging for someone to bring the wine and glasses.

At this moment I lifted the red wine,

"Mr. Wen, think about it—what benefit do I get from betraying you?"

"But by doing this, you're forcing me."

"In fact, those two contracts are just paper if you don't pay them."

Wen Han clinked glasses with me,

"Jianqiang brother is right; this time I was truly misled by Hou Laoban."

"He reported to us that you had aligned with the Liu Family and, together with them, were preparing to seize the Da Heng Group again."

"I got nervous as soon as I heard that,

things got a bit chaotic.

I should have just communicated with you about this."

"If we ignore their nonsense, we almost caused a big incident. Jianqiang brother, you're right—the contracts are damn paper. As long as I don't give them money, nobody can do anything to the Da Heng Group," Wen Han said happily.

The two of us drained the wine from our glasses.

I said, "Mr. Wen, everything's clear; I won't keep you. You return to Sijiucheng, and I'll take Zaocheng."

"Mr. Wen, everything's clear; I won't keep you. You return to Sijiucheng,

and I'll take Zaocheng."

"Alright, Jianqiang brother. That's settled then.

If we have anything, we'll communicate by phone.

Sometimes we need to strengthen contact; otherwise misunderstandings arise," Wen Han said with a smile.

Wen Han and I laughed and chatted as we walked out of the crowd.

I kept escorting him to the car outside the hotel,

Wen Han waved his hand,

Hou Laoban and his men immediately got into the car.

As Wen Han started the car to leave, Shi Yong came up to me,

"Brother, if we let them go like this,

I feel it's not right; Wen Han will definitely retaliate. We should keep Wen Han safe in Zaocheng."

I patted Shi Yong's shoulder,

"Shi Yong, you're right, but Wen Han isn't an ordinary person. Keeping Wen Han in Zaocheng would be more trouble. Let them go."

"Brother, what's the trouble? I'll just watch over Wen Han. If he leaves like this, what do we do?" Shi Yong asked.

I didn't answer Shi Yong.

I watched Wen Han's car drive out of the hotel,

I had Ding Li drive behind them to see if Wen Han's car got onto the highway.

After a while, Ding Li reported that their cars had entered the highway.

At that moment I immediately held a meeting in the hotel to make arrangements,

Regarding letting Wen Han go, I had my own considerations.

Wen Han is a hot potato; I can't swallow him nor handle him.

This matter only in Zaocheng can I temporarily subdue Wen Han; outside Zaocheng I'm nothing.

I have Wen Han in my grasp; tomorrow morning his father will lead a large force to come and kill.

By then, regardless of right or wrong, I won't have a chance to turn the tables; I might lose even more badly.

Besides, I can risk my life now and then, but I can't be fighting for my life all the time, and no one believes it any longer.

Also, the Yellow Medicine Ding Li brought is only medicine, not a thunder bomb.

This thing only works when combined with a thunder bomb. I can't even light it with a lighter.

It's just that Wen Han doesn't understand these things.

Of course I know.

Ding Li also knows that the Yellow Medicine in our bodies is useless; it's only to scare Wen Han.

I don't want to use this trick either; Ding Li and I agreed to reserve it for an emergency.

Our lives are also lives,

No one wants to die.

I didn't expect Wen Han would send someone to Niushiling.

I underestimated him in that regard.

The rift between Wen Han and me is as if we've torn our faces apart. There's no turning back for anyone.

He will definitely return to Sijiucheng now.

Back in Sijiucheng, he has a hundred ways to deal with me.

Whether using the black side or the white side.

I of course understand what's in his mind.

No need to ask; orders will come from above soon.

He won't use such a move again; it won't work on me.

He wants to make it clear.

Hmph, relying on his father's protection, he has many tricks.

Actually, once Wen Han left, I also understood in my heart what would be waiting for me.

Since I dared to oppose, I had already thought out an escape route.

Wen Han definitely won't keep him in Zaocheng, nor will he harm him.

I can't bear such a thing.

Let someone else handle such a matter.

After Ding Li returns, I'll immediately make arrangements.

I had Xiao Long drive back to Niushiling first.

He and Xiao Shitou took Qian Niang, Ru Meng, and Qiao Jie and led them to Huaihai.

To rendezvous with Yang Tao.

The only thing that can protect us for now is the Zhuang Shi side of Huaihai.

Of course, to go to Zhuang Shi we need a token of allegiance, which is the genuine contract in Tian Shi's hands.

The plan to have Tian Shi trade with Zhuang Shi tomorrow is now stranded.

This cannot be executed; I must deliver the genuine contract to Zhuang Shi to seek his protection.

That would be the protection of the Liu Family behind it.

Xiao Long drove away.

I said to Ding Li, "Ding Li, contact Xiao Feng and have him fly back from Hainan immediately.

Leave the Qi He Mine affairs to her to manage, you come with me. Do you remember that USB drive I gave you in Sijiucheng last time? Bring it along; we'll need it later," I said.

"Alright, Zhao Ge, that USB drive is hidden in a house in the old city of Zaocheng; I'm going to fetch it now," Ding Li said.

"You go together with Shi Yong. By the way, the security brothers at the mine have all returned; they've worked hard this time, and I'll reward them later."

Ding Li arranged for all the mine security to return to Qi He Mine.

Then Ding Li and Shi Yong drove to the old city district of Zaocheng, where Ding Li retrieved the USB drive from his home.

Because that USB drive contains duplicated data,

the USB drive that Wen Han had me obtain from Liu Shiru back in Sijiucheng,

the contents are evidence of Wen Han's father's crimes.

Wen Han doesn't know I copied the contents. Now it's finally put to use.
