Chapter 767: 762. Cutting the Gordian Knot (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Votes)

~7 min read 1,344 words

Since Zhang Ran had given the word that no harm must come to the mother and son, He Yong would certainly see it through.

Seeing He Yong and his men act this way, Zhao Tong felt a sense of unease in his heart.

"Friends, which path do you walk? We don't have any intention of harming anyone. This kid's old man owes us quite a bit of money; we're just trying to scare him this time, we definitely won't do anything to the child." Zhao Tong's tone suddenly softened.

By this time, He Yong and his men had already surrounded these people.

"Zhao Tong, let Zhao Xiaoyu go," He Yong said indifferently.

Zhao Tong was stunned. It wasn't just Zhao Tong; Zhao Xiaoyu was also stunned. What was going on here?

"You know me?" Zhao Tong pointed at himself and asked.

He Yong said with an expressionless face, "Zhao Tong, born in 1972, male, Han ethnicity..."

Listening to He Yong recite all his information, the bad premonition in Zhao Tong's heart grew even stronger.

What terrified him even more was that it wasn't just him; He Yong had called out the names of everyone he had brought this time, one by one.

They had the full cooperation of Xia Zhangqing on their side; wanting to investigate a few people was not difficult at all, especially since these people basically all had criminal records.

The people following Zhao Tong were also inexplicably terrified, and at this moment, He Yong suddenly said, "Move."

In an instant, the men who were already close by lunged forward, and before Zhao Tong and his group could react, they had subdued them all.

These men were all carefully selected by He Yong; each had their own capabilities, and unarmed combat was a skill everyone was required to master.

Zhao Tong and his lot were merely small-time thugs; if not for the fear of hurting Zhao Xiaoyu, how could He Yong have bothered with such petty tricks?

"Who the hell are you people?" Zhao Tong roared immediately; he felt like his whole world was falling apart.

It was supposed to be a success, so how did it suddenly turn into this?

He Yong couldn't even be bothered to acknowledge him; he looked at Zhao Xiaoyu and revealed a smile on his face, saying, "Are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere?"

Zhao Xiaoyu looked blankly at He Yong, and it took a long while before he reacted, "I'm fine, I'm fine. Who are you?"

He asked the same question as Zhao Tong.

"I am a colleague of your father," He Yong said.

Zhao Xiaoyu didn't know what to say, so he pointed at Zhao Tong and the others and said, "They just said they were my father's colleagues too."

"I am a real colleague. Forget it, why don't you go back first? Keep the matter here a secret for now; your father should be calling soon," He Yong shook his head and said.

Hearing He Yong say this, Zhao Xiaoyu was certain that this must be his father's real colleague. He was no longer worried and instead became somewhat excited.

A scene like this was just like an action movie, and although it was only an action movie lasting a few seconds, he was a participant in it.

Moreover, young boys were naturally very keen on such things and prone to fantasy.

"I'm not going back. Uncle, who exactly are you? Could it be that..."

"Alright, stop guessing. I'm just your father's colleague, just not in the same department... well, not in the same department for now," He Yong corrected himself halfway through.

If nothing unexpected happened, Zhao Feng would likely be in the same department as him in the future, and would even be his subordinate in name.

This was what Zhao Feng deserved.

After saying this, he did not urge Zhao Xiaoyu further; the matter was already resolved anyway.

"Zhao Tong, it's time to confess what needs to be confessed. Don't go looking for trouble for yourself later," He Yong said, looking down at Zhao Tong.

Zhao Tong roared, "Confess what? Who the hell are you?"

Facing him, He Yong had no expression on his face, "My name is He Yong, and I am the bodyguard of Mr. Zhang Ran."

"Mr. Zhang already knows about you and your older brother. This time you are also suspected of kidnapping and murder; don't think about anyone being able to bail you out."

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhao Tong's pupils shrank. He didn't know who He Yong was, but he knew Zhang Ran!

After a long while, Zhao Tong said blankly, "How could you be here?"

"What do you think?" He Yong said.

Zhao Tong's mind was very chaotic at this moment; he knew more than many people, and even knew some information about the internal high-level affairs of Yaotian Pharmaceutical.

Especially regarding the events of the last few days, he was aware of almost every detail, and at this moment, he seemed to have thought of something.

"Is this a trap set by Mr. Zhang?" Zhao Tong's voice was somewhat dry.

"You could say that," He Yong was not in a hurry and replied slowly.

"Aren't you afraid that something might actually go wrong? Like with this child?" Zhao Tong seemed to have accepted reality.

In fact, people like them, when facing such a situation, had a much stronger ability to accept reality than people like Zhao Kui and Lin Xiong.

Because, to put it bluntly, they had long been mentally prepared; after all, they hadn't been doing any legitimate business before.

He Yong looked at the curious Zhao Xiaoyu and smiled, "Ever since you appeared by their side, we have had a clear grasp of all your movements, including what you eat, when you go to the bathroom, how long you spent, and so on."

He Yong didn't need to say anything more; he believed Zhao Tong would understand.

And at this moment, Zhao Xiaoyu also understood, but he didn't really feel anything; after all, he was still just a child.

Zhao Tong understood; this was a case of having made full preparations.

"If I talk, then..."

"Don't try to bargain with me. If you don't talk, you are not only suspected of kidnapping but also face charges of murder," He Yong said in a low voice.

Zhao Tong fell silent, and just at this moment, his cell phone rang.

In the downtown area of Yi City, Zhao Feng had arrived at the company entrance early in the morning to wait. He was waiting for the Big Boss to arrive today.

During this period, as his investigation progressed, he became increasingly alarmed.

Originally, it wasn't that he didn't want to do this; after all, he had heard things about this Big Boss of his—that he was quite a ruthless person.

It was estimated that many people would likely be caught in the crossfire when the time came.

If it could be resolved internally, that would be for the best, and that was what he hoped to see. As for showing his face in front of the Big Boss, he wouldn't think about that.

But as his investigation deepened, the things he uncovered were simply shocking.

Now was the final opportunity, and only the Big Boss had the authority and ability to put a stop to it.

Because this would cause Yaotian Pharmaceutical to lose a lot of money, and Feng Hui lacked the courage for this. Zhao Feng was very clear about this; if he had it, he wouldn't have let things develop to this point.

If he did not cut the Gordian knot quickly, once this opportunity was missed, those defective products might be sold off, and in that case, Zhao Feng's conscience would be condemned day and night.

Therefore, he decided that today, right in front of the public, he would speak to the Big Boss about the matter; this was actually also a way to make the Big Boss take notice and express a stance.
