Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

"When did I ever go eat Niu Chunsheng?"

Zhang Sheng, that old fox, naturally denied it flatly.

He even said:

"Niu Chunsheng and I have always been very good cooperative partners, okay? As for that real estate project in Shangang Town, didn't I take the initiative to pull him in to partner up? Additionally, recently Niu Chunsheng's company was being squeezed by upstream and downstream partners, and it was still me who took the initiative to help him settle that matter!"

Speaking up to here, Zhang Sheng wore an aggrieved expression:

"Xiao Hua, you've really misunderstood me."

If it were someone else, they probably really would have been fooled past by Zhang Sheng's hypocritical face.

But Wang Xiaohua is not an ordinary person.

"Cut the fake sentiment with me!"

Wang Xiaohua rebuked sternly, "Zhang Sheng, you can deceive others, but you can't deceive me! I admit your methods are brilliant, but no matter how brilliant the methods, there are times they miscalculate. I'm afraid you never would have thought that I would take Wu Moli away, would you?"

Zhang Sheng let out a dry laugh; this one point was something he couldn't have anticipated no matter what.

Wang Xiaohua continued:

"We're all smart people, I won't beat around the bush with you. I'll lay my cards on the table. Right now Wu Moli has already confessed quite a bit of black material on you to me. I can submit it to the Discipline Inspection Commission at any time and send you to prison!"

Zhang Sheng's tigerish frame shuddered; he felt Wang Xiaohua wasn't bluffing him.

Because before this, Wang Xiaohua had already sent Liu Xinwen in.

Even Liu Xinwen, who held real power in his hands, Wang Xiaohua could topple, let alone a mere merchant like him?

"No need to push things to the point of mutual destruction, right? If I go in, that real estate project in Shangang Town will absolutely be left unfinished, no doubt about it."

Zhang Sheng's throat felt as if it were pressed down by a stone; his voice turned very deep.

His face also turned gloomy along with it.

This was no longer a negotiation, but a life-and-death confrontation.

Wang Xiaohua just said:

"If it weren't for considering the Shangang Town real estate project, I wouldn't have given you this call at all. I would have directly sent you in!"

Zhang Sheng still kept a gloomy face:

"Then tell me, what do you want?"

Wang Xiaohua just said:

"Simple. This black material of yours, I'll help you safekeep it properly. I won't lightly leak it out. But you mustn't eat Steamed Buns made from Uncle Chunsheng's flesh and blood. Also, when doing things in the County Town from now on, don't pull that underworld gangster stuff on me again. Otherwise I might expose your black material at any time!"

Zhang Sheng then asked:

"These conditions of yours, I can agree to them. But if — I'm saying if! If after Niu Chunsheng dies, his wife Lin Xiaofang insists I take over Niu Chunsheng's company, what do you say I should do?"

Wang Xiaohua just said:

"Then you refuse her. Is refusing someone hard?"

Zhang Sheng laughed instead:

"Wang Xiaohua, oh Wang Xiaohua, have you ever thought: if I refuse, Lin Xiaofang might think it was you and your Second Brother pulling strings behind the scenes, and then bear a grudge against you in her heart. At that time, what use would it be that you helped her? Wouldn't you still be resented in her heart?"

Wang Xiaohua fell silent.

Zhang Sheng held the mobile phone in his hand, but the smile on his face turned meaningful.

"You intervening in someone else's karma like this means you have to bear their karma. Have you made the psychological preparation to be resented for a lifetime by Lin Xiaofang, and by her children? Have you made the psychological preparation to turn hostile with the Niu Family?"

At this very moment, Zhang Sheng already had the upper hand and feared nothing.

Because he knew Wang Xiaohua was a smart person. Weighing the pros and cons, Niu Chunsheng's enterprise would ultimately still fall into his hands.

Because only by doing so would it be most favorable to the Wang Family.

"Zhang Sheng, you really are vicious!"

Wang Xiaohua naturally also thought through this situation, and this was almost an unsolvable dead end.

So he couldn't help but curse Zhang Sheng with this one sentence.

Zhang Sheng, however, not only didn't take it as shame, but instead laughed and replied:

"Thanks for the compliment."

Because Zhang Sheng felt this was Wang Xiaohua's recognition of his ability.

As for a sense of shame or the like — if he had it, then he wouldn't be Zhang Sheng.

Wang Xiaohua took a deep breath, adjusting his state.

In the end he could only concede a step:

"After Uncle Chunsheng passes, his company — you can take it over. But all profits gained from the company's operations must be left for the Niu Family!"

Zhang Sheng agreed without a moment's hesitation:

"That's for sure. I originally thought exactly that. I never had any intention of embezzling the profits, okay?"

"Heh, you say it like it's actually true." Wang Xiaohua mocked him with one sentence.

Zhang Sheng, however, said it with a straight face:

"What I said is the truth. What I want is a business territory. As for that bit of profit from Niu Chunsheng's company, I truly don't care about it."

Then he said:

"Those black materials in your hands, how about..."

"Impossible!" Before Zhang Sheng could finish his sentence, Wang Xiaohua refused him.

Then he also said to Zhang Sheng:

"Don't waste your effort looking for Wu Moli; tomorrow morning I'll send her back to the County Town."

After saying this, Wang Xiaohua hung up the phone.

He could only do this much.

This counts as a kind of "Empty City Stratagem"; he bet that Zhang Sheng wouldn't dare believe he had no black material on hand, just as Sima Yi didn't dare gamble that the city behind Zhuge Liang with its gates wide open was an empty city.

And proactively sending Wu Moli back was to hint to Zhang Sheng that he, Wang Xiaohua, had already grasped enough chips.

Can this keep Zhang Sheng suppressed forever?

He didn't know.

Suppressing him for a while counts as a while.

Because he really didn't want his Second Brother to have to endure Lin Xiaofang's hatred.

This person Lin Xiaofang, if she really makes a scene, will absolutely be endless just like Liu Meiqi.

Although his Second Brother had already made this psychological preparation, even accepted the worst outcome about to happen.

But Wang Xiaohua felt this wasn't the optimal solution.

The current optimal solution should be letting Zhang Sheng take over Niu Chunsheng's enterprises, and then Zhang Sheng would also obediently hand over all operating proceeds to Niu Chunsheng's family.

On the surface, Wang Xiaohua seemed to have changed nothing.

Zhang Sheng's scheme still succeeded.

But in reality it wasn't so.

He changed Zhang Sheng's attitude.

Made Zhang Sheng have apprehensions.

Made Zhang Sheng have to restrain himself.

As for Lin Xiaofang, what he could help her with only went this far.

If something happens later and Lin Xiaofang still hates them to the point of blaming the Wang Family, then sorry, the karmic tie between the two families should just be severed.

The next day, Wang Xiaohua sent Wu Moli back to the County Town as promised.

On the road, Wu Moli frowned, somewhat worried:

"You sending me back to the County Town like this, won't Zhang Sheng come looking for trouble with me?"

Wang Xiaohua expressionless:

"How would he? You didn't expose his black material to me."

Wu Moli dry-laughed:

"True."

Wang Xiaohua at this time gave her a piece of advice:

"I'll give you a piece of advice: you'd best not get entangled with Zhang Sheng in the future, otherwise his wife won't let you off, and he won't let you off either."

But Wu Moli said:

"You say his wife won't let me off, I believe that, but you say he won't let me off, isn't that a bit exaggerated?"

Wang Xiaohua smiled faintly:

"Have you ever thought that everything Zhang Sheng's wife does is actually tacitly permitted by Zhang Sheng in the dark? Or even possibly instigated by Zhang Sheng in the dark?"

Wu Moli was stunned, her face instantly freezing.
