Chapter 920: Reverse Utilization

"After hearing what Secretary Qin said, he not only didn't receive 【it】, but also was insulted by Kang Yali." Tian Shi said.

"Yes, Kang Yali deliberately provoked Wang Ge, making him feel hatred toward both Kang Yali and Liu Yong,"

"This way Wang Ge would develop a desire for revenge."

"At the same time, she also put on an act for Liu Yong to see."

"That is, there is enormous hatred between her and Wang Ge."

"There cannot be any other connection between Wang Ge and her."

"As for Kang Yali's upcoming cooperation with Wang Ge, I believe Liu Yong would never even dream of it." I said to Tian Shi.

"Tian Shi took a sip of water,"

"This woman is really a good actress. She deliberately does things to conceal her true purpose."

"Also, the Da Heng Group—Liu Yong wants to hollow it out."

"Jianqiang, what do you think?"

"I think that before Liu Yong hollows it out, we should first transfer the assets of the Da Heng Group."

"Now Kang Yali told me,"

"Their accounts have 450 million yuan, and their land resources exceed 200 million."

"The rest are fixed assets."

"She plans to bring out all these assets,"

"and transfer them into our hands."

"Once the Da Heng Group is emptied, it will go bankrupt,"

"The city can then auction off its fixed assets, such as the Da Heng Group's headquarters building and some real estate projects, etc."

"This money can be used for the aftercare work of the Da Heng Group's employees."

"Tian Shi, the main point I want to make today is this matter,"

"concerning the preemptive hollowing out of the Da Heng Group."

"There are risks involved."

"First risk: we don't know whether what Kang Yali told me is true."

"Second risk: Liu Yong knowing what to do."

"After Tian Shi heard me finish speaking, he started smoking and remained silent,"

"After a while,"

"he then said: 'Jianqiang, I personally judge that Kang Yali is telling the truth.'

"Based on her current situation."

"She is putting on an act for us to see,"

"what does it mean?"

"It means Liu Yong wants to deal with her."

"She must protect herself."

"If she can give us the USB drive containing Liu Yong's secret discussions with others, that shows she is genuinely defecting."

"As for provoking Liu Yong, what to do?"

"Actually, Liu Yong knows what he can do; he would merely report our money and extort us."

"On this point, I will go to the provincial capital tomorrow to consult Zhu Sheng,"

"First, we need to quickly transfer this money and disperse it into various accounts."

"The provincial authorities know about this money, so some matters must be reported to them; I will assign the Zao Chengshi Finance Bureau to handle the specific work."

"Also, we all need to take some protective measures."

"I am thinking, Kang Yali hopes we will join forces with Wang Ge,"

"then we can completely shift the responsibility for this matter onto Wang Ge."

"Anyway, Wang Ge harbors hatred toward Liu Yong, Kang Yali, and the Da Heng Group."

"Hollowing out the Da Heng Group is something Wang Ge instructed us to do."

"Let Liu Yong direct all his hostility toward Wang Ge."

"Jianqiang, do you think this would work?"

"I also pondered for a moment,"

"Yes, Tian Shi."

"Regarding hollowing out the Da Heng Group, I will have Sun Dajun and Zhao Xiaohua assist Kang Yali in completing it."

"This money, we will also put it all into private accounts; at that time they will open accounts at Zaocheng Bank."

"Of course, this money is within our surveillance."

"If Liu Yong finds out, I will then directly tell him that it was all done at Wang Ge's instruction."

"I will take responsibility for these matters, trying to minimize Liu Yong's and Kang Yali's suspicions."

"For now, we still need to make use of Kang Yali,"

"she can monitor some of Liu Yong's movements while she is by his side,"

"and she also has other criminal evidence of Liu Yong in her possession, which has not yet been handed over to us."

"I will protect her as much as possible. You go to the provincial capital tomorrow and discuss with Zhu Sheng,"

"how to legally protect the money in our Kun De Company's accounts."

"Money is the main thing; you should know that we obtained this sum with great effort."

"Xiao Long still came close to paying with his life."

"This money must be used for our tourism project in Xue County," I said earnestly.

Tian Shi nodded.

"Jianqiang, I understand what you mean. Rest assured, once we know, we can take preventive measures in advance.

Moreover, this is Zaocheng, not Sijiucheng, Xianggang, or other places.

After all, we have the advantage of geography. No need to fear them too much.

"You can handle the Da Heng Group matters with confidence; if anything goes wrong, I'll take responsibility."

With Tian Shi's assurance, I felt even more at ease,

"Tian Shi, I have another suggestion.

I feel we can use it in reverse," I said.

"What do you mean by reverse utilization? I don't get it," Tian Shi asked.

"It means using Liu Yong again to deal with Wang Ge.

If this plan to hollow out the Da Heng Group is carried out,

I'm sure Liu Yong will be furious.

I'll play the hidden card I have, using Liu Yong to target Wang Ge.

"Hmph, then they'll kill each other," I told Tian Shi.

"You still have a card in your hand—what card?" Tian Shi asked.

"Tian Shi, don't forget, Hao Tao is in our hands. We actually snatched that treasure from Zhuang Shi back then.

He got into trouble, and it was you who sent Dean Yang to rescue him," I said with a smile to Tian Shi.

"Look at my memory—right, how could I have forgotten about Hao Tao?"

Yeah, we have Hao Tao in our possession.

We'll hand him over to Liu Yong then,

while Kang Yali holds the criminal evidence against Liu Yong,

and we pass those evidences to Wang Ge,

then a life‑or‑death struggle between them is guaranteed," Tian Shi said, smiling happily.

"They won't make peace, will they?" I asked.

"Probably not; the hatred between Liu Yong and Wang Ge has built up over a long time,

unlike Wen Han."

Between Liu Yong and Wen Han, it's merely a contest over interests.

We must play this drama well,

as long as those two guys are finished,

the sky over Zaocheng will clear up," Tian Shi sighed.

"Yes, we can act freely now," I said.

"Alright, then let the storm come even fiercer.

From now on, we'll be like sea‑swallows soaring freely in the sky," Tian Shi recited poetically.

"Tian Shi, we still need to think carefully; that place has loopholes.

Don't let them catch us by the tail," I said.

"Alright, Jianqiang, after I go back I'll ponder the plan in detail.

If any issues arise,

I'll get in touch with you then.

You should also consider this, since you have contact with Kang Yali.

How to make good use of this particular pawn,

that depends on your skill," Tian Shi smiled.

"Tian Shi, don't worry. As long as Liu Yong goes after Kang Yali, Kang Yali will sincerely do something for us.

Trust that I'll make good use of that woman," I said.

"At the same time we must protect her; if you need my support, just speak up," Tian Shi said.

"Sure, if there's anything I can't handle, I'll contact you directly," I said.

"By the way, Zhuang Shi of Huaihai also has ideas," Tian Shi said, looking at me.

"What ideas does Zhuang Shi have?" I asked.

Tian Shi took a drag of his cigarette,

"Of course he has ideas; nobody wants a retired emperor hanging over their head.

Everywhere he's constrained. Moreover, Huaihai's development has hit a bottleneck, and Zhuang Shi wants to throw his arms wide and launch massive infrastructure in Huaihai City.

But Liu Yong obstructs him at every turn.

He also wants to siphon off some of Huaihai's profits.

If something goes wrong, Zhuang Shi will be implicated.

"If you were Zhuang Shi, would you gladly work under Liu Yong's protection?"
