Chapter 893: Meeting with Geng Ping to Talk

They quickly entered the hall.

Upon arriving in the hall, Secretary Wu brought people to greet.

Then they arranged for Geng Ping's bodyguards to stay in the first-floor hall.

Geng Ping was not very willing.

But Secretary Wu disagreed, and clearly pointed out that this is the Reception Center of Huaihai,

Going up to the second floor, only important people are allowed.

He also told Geng Ping that Zhuang Shi of Huaihai City also wants to see him.

Here he has absolute safety.

When Geng Ping heard that the leaders of Huaihai City also wanted to see him, he agreed.

He really followed Secretary Wu upstairs alone.

I waited for him in the meeting room.

Soon there was a knock on the door,

I opened the door,

Secretary Wu said: "Mr. Zhao, your guest Mr. Geng has arrived."

I looked at Geng Ping, and Geng Ping also looked at me.

Our gazes simultaneously shot at each other like swords.

Everyone's gazes showed no intention to retreat.

Secretary Wu said: "Mr. Zhao, it's time to invite Mr. Geng inside."

I didn't speak, just gestured for them to come in.

"You are Mr. Zhao who invested in the zoo in Jiaonan County," Geng Ping loudly questioned.

At this moment, Secretary Wu glanced at me,

I had Secretary Wu close the door and leave.

Secretary Wu closed the meeting room door.

Then I looked at Geng Ping and replied: "Yes, that's me. You are Mr. Geng, right?"

"Hmph, who are you, why invest in a zoo in Jiaonan County?" Geng Ping then said angrily.

"Who I am isn't important; I'm just investing in my project, which has nothing to do with you, Mr. Geng." I said, spreading my hands.

"What are you, daring to strike at me? Tell me, how much money did you put in total,

I will buy out your zoo project at a premium." This Geng Ping came out aggressive.

Moreover, he verbally attacked me, truly arrogant.

I ignored him,

I took out a cigarette from my pocket,

"Hmph, my investment project is never for sale.

You didn't come to negotiate; we have nothing to talk about.

I'm nobody,

Then what do you think you are?" I retorted.

Hearing my rebuttal, Geng Ping became very angry,

"Hmph, I'm from Xianggang, considered your senior in business and investment.

In front of me, you're nothing.

If it weren't for your deliberate actions, I wouldn't have met you. Tell me, how much do you want to sell for? I have plenty of money." Geng Ping said loudly.

"Haha, do you think being from Xianggang makes you superior?

What's wrong with Xianggang people? Are they one level above us?

Meeting you today is already giving you face.

It's you who sought me,

Not me seeking you. This is Huaihai, not Xianggang. Stop fucking threatening me.

If you don't want to talk, then get lost." I said angrily.

We seemed unable to reach an agreement, and my attitude was also very firm.

Hearing me say that, Geng Ping's face turned pale with anger,

He then took out his phone, no need to ask whom he wanted to call.

I then snatched his phone and slammed it hard to the ground.

Then I said,

"Geng Ping, I'll let you meet someone, and you'll understand."

At that moment, Ding Li came out from the inner room.

Geng Ping saw Ding Li,

"How are you here?"

"Mr. Geng, we've met again; how could I not be here?

Mr. Geng, you've come to our place; I want to take you to properly see our Zaocheng."

Ding Li finished speaking and quickly walked up to Geng Ping.

Then he pulled out a knife.

"I get it, damn it, I've been tricked. You're in league with Tian Zhongguo." Geng Ping shouted loudly.

"It's too late, Geng Ping." After saying that, I also went over to help Ding Li tie up Geng Ping.

"You guys are breaking the law, I have immunity." Geng Ping shouted.

"Oh, a person about to die, still want to enjoy privileges? Let's go, Geng Ping, we'll take you around Zaocheng, the scenery at Shanghu is nice. Ding Li, let's go." I laughed.

Ding Li then pulled Geng Ping into the inner room.

This room also had a dedicated elevator leading directly to the underground parking garage.

Geng Ping was still shouting. I casually took out a piece of cloth from my pocket and stuffed it into his mouth.

We took the elevator straight down to the underground parking garage,

Then Ding Li drove, and we brought Geng Ping out from Huaihai.

After leaving Huaihai, I blindfolded Geng Ping's eyes.

I had Ding Li drive the car to Shanghu.

After arriving at Shanghu, I again contacted Xiao Wu, asking him to come pick us up by boat.

We brought Geng Ping onto the boat.

Only then did I take off Geng Ping's blindfold and the cloth stuffed in his mouth,

and pointed at the dark lake outside, saying: "Geng Ping, do you want to die? I'll drown you right here—Shanghu is eight hundred li in size."

"Think about it yourself."

"I know what you want; I want to call Lao Tian." Geng Ping said.

"Oh, that? Not possible for now."

"Put it this way: you first need to tell us Zhou Jie's hiding place."

I had Tian Shi and them locate it, then we'll let you talk.

"Geng Ping, you are a smart person,"

"not a fool; you know what we want,"

"think about your own worth,"

"if you act foolishly, I really will throw you into Shanghu,"

"is your death worth it?" I said, looking at Geng Ping.

"Killing is illegal. You wouldn't dare." Geng Ping said.

"Yo, put it this way, there's nothing Zhao Jianqiang wouldn't dare." After saying that, I grabbed Geng Ping and pulled him out of the boat cabin.

At that moment a strong wind blew across the lake surface,

making it impossible to stand firm.

"I'll ask you again: where did you hide Zhou Jie?" I loudly asked Geng Ping.

Geng Ping glanced at me, but he didn't answer.

He was still probing my limits, thinking I wouldn't dare.

This old brat, does he really think I wouldn't dare?

At that moment I grabbed his neck from behind,

kicked his leg with my foot,

he immediately bent over.

I shoved him straight into the dark lake water.

He struggled twice, then began to sink into the lake.

He wanted to shout something, but lake water rushed straight into his mouth.

I watched from the boat as Zhengzheng sank downward.

At that moment Ding Li said from the side,

"Brother, it's about time—I've pulled the rope."

I nodded in agreement.

Ding Li and the others pulled Geng Ping up.

After being pulled up, Geng Ping gasped heavily and kept vomiting.

"Believe it now; if not, we'll do it again."

"Damn, what am I?"

"Old man, let me show you what I am. Come here, don't keep a low profile,"

"you think you're something? Go to Xianggang and see if you look down on us." I said, smoking on the side.

"Speak, Mr. Geng; if you don't, my brother will really kill you—this really isn't Xianggang."

"It's very easy to die here." Ding Li urged Geng Ping from the side.

After a while, Geng Ping finally recovered,

looking at me,

he actually burst into tears,

"I say, please, let me go—everything can be negotiated."

"Is that enough? If you'd known this would happen, why persist in testing my limits?"

"You have to suffer before you believe reality."

I signaled Ding Li to untie the rope on him,

then helped him sit up.

Geng Ping then wiped water from his face with his hand—unsure whether it was lake water, sweat, or tears.

In short, this time we scared that old brat enough.

"Damn, what the hell, opening with insults as soon as we meet."

I've endured him for a long time.

Now I just want to talk properly.

Then let's talk properly.

I just don't believe money is more important than life.
