Chapter 934: You Are an Adult

"What did you say? He—how could he be like this? Cheng Gang, think of a way! He is my younger brother, and he is your brother too. We are a family; you cannot just stand by and watch him die!" Li Yue on the other end was panicking.

"He is an adult himself. Since he dared to do these things, he must be prepared to bear the consequences. Li Yue, I cannot manage this matter. Right now, I can barely save myself."

"You dare not to manage it? Cheng Gang, have you gone mad? He is my brother! If you dare not to manage him, I will divorce you right now!" Li Yue screamed.

"Divorce, let's divorce immediately," Cheng Gang roared. "This afternoon, at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau, I will wait for you. Bring the household register and the marriage certificate. Without the burden of your family of four, I will live very well."

"What did you say? Have you gone mad? I will give you one more chance; say that again." Li Yue was shocked; she had not expected her husband to be so firm.

In the past, whenever it involved her brother, she would mention divorce as soon as she got angry, and as soon as she mentioned divorce, Cheng Gang would fall into Silence. But what was wrong with Cheng Gang this time?

"I said, we will meet at the Civil Affairs Bureau this afternoon. We are getting a divorce. Remember, this time it is not that you don't want me, but that I don't want you. Your family of four has been living off me—you, your brother, and your parents. I am fucking fed up!" Cheng Gang hung up the phone in anger.

After hanging up the phone, Cheng Gang let out a long, heavy breath. This time, it felt truly great.

He looked at Chen Yu with a strange expression, smiled awkwardly, and said, "Mr. Chen, I have let you see a joke. Thank you for helping me firm up my resolve to escape her family."

"You believe what I said just like that?" Chen Yu smiled.

"I believe it. Mr. Zhou said you are a high-level expert, so I believe your words." Cheng Gang nodded.

"Heh, good. As long as you believe me, your rise to prosperity is just around the corner." Chen Yu laughed.

In a clubhouse in the downtown area of Xianyang, the basement level was a casino.

A young man with a gaunt Appearance, who could be seen at a glance to have been hollowed out by wine and women, was mingling at a mahjong table. He was Cheng Gang's brother-in-law, Li Guocheng.

The chips in front of him were running low, but he was still frantically drawing tiles. On the final hand, he lost all his remaining chips.

"Guocheng, out of money again? Heh, your luck today is no good. Come back another day." People at the gambling table showed no mercy; if you had no money, you got out. Now that Li Guocheng had lost everything, these people would drive him away without hesitation.

"My luck is fucking terrible, hellish." Li Guocheng threw the tiles in his hand onto the floor heavily. He took one last lingering look at his seat, then turned and walked out.

Just as he stepped out, he saw his brother-in-law Cheng Gang walking over with Chen Yu. This guy had a guilty conscience; he shrank his head and turned to leave.

"Li Guocheng, stop." Seeing Li Guocheng, Cheng Gang could not help but be furious. He stepped forward, grabbed him by the collar, and dragged him into the restroom.

"What are you doing, brother-in-law? You're hurting me." Li Guocheng still put on an innocent act and shook off Cheng Gang's hand.

"What am I doing? Don't you have any idea what you've done yourself?" Cheng Gang roared angrily. "Who gave you the poison?"

"What poison? I don't know what you're talking about." Li Guocheng felt a jolt of panic, but he still pretended that nothing was wrong and pushed Cheng Gang's hand away.

"Pretend, keep pretending. Lao He has already confessed everything, and he lost an arm; he's a cripple from now on."

Cheng Gang gritted his teeth and said, "Do you really think you can stay out of this? This time, just wait; you won't have a good end."

"I don't understand what you're talking about. Did you bring money? Lend me some money." Li Guocheng said with a look of indifference.

"It's come to this, and you're still asking to borrow money?" Chen Yu looked at him as if he were a freak.

"What's it to you? Who are you?" Li Guocheng looked at Chen Yu with annoyance.

"This is Mr. Chen, an honored guest of the Zhou Family. And don't you have any idea who you poisoned?" Cheng Gang roared angrily. "Wait to die. President Zhou has already arrived at the hotel and is looking for you everywhere."

"You—you're not lying to me?" Li Guocheng could not help but shiver. He looked at his brother-in-law in disbelief. Could it be that he had really blown things out of proportion this time?

"Heh, lying to you? I don't have the spare time to lie to you. You know what you've done yourself. You should know how powerful the Zhou Family is. Just wait to die." Cheng Gang sneered.

He had completely given up on this brother-in-law. He would no longer manage his affairs in the future. It had reached this point, and he still did not know what was good for him.

"Brother-in-law, you—you have to help me. I didn't mean it this time; I just wanted to get some money." Li Guocheng began to panic.

"So you poisoned someone? It's fine to want money, but you have to have your own methods, right?" Chen Yu sneered. "Who told you to use the poison? Speak."

"Speak," Cheng Gang commanded.

"Brother-in-law, I can't say. If I say it, I'll die a miserable death. That person is someone I can't afford to offend." Li Guocheng started to tremble.

"Heh, what else is there to say? Wait to die." Cheng Gang sneered.

"Cheng Gang, I call you brother-in-law, do you really think you're something?" Li Guocheng was enraged; he still did not know how serious this matter was.

"Let me tell you, you are the manager, and I am your brother-in-law. You were the one who arranged for me to work here. If something happens, you can't escape the consequences either."

"Of course I know I can't escape the consequences. I have already made my final plans. I will resign from the Zhou Family. You can fend for yourself." Cheng Gang huffed.

"Resign? Then what do I do? You're not planning to look after me anymore? Cheng Gang, you can't do this. You are my brother-in-law. If you don't look after me, you won't even be able to get past my sister."

"Heh, if I don't look after you, what can your sister do to me?" Cheng Gang said with a mocking expression.

"I will make my sister divorce you." Li Guocheng played his trump card and said bitterly, "I'm calling my sister right now."

As the guy said this, he pretended to take out his phone to threaten him, but Cheng Gang on the side just watched coldly, completely ignoring his actions.

The guy felt a bit suspicious. In the past, whenever he threatened him with his sister's divorce, Cheng Gang would instantly cave in. But this time, even though he had taken out his phone, the other party had no reaction at all. This was not logical.

"Call. Let your sister divorce me," Cheng Gang said.

"Have you gone mad? Take back what you just said. If my sister finds out about this, she really will divorce you." Li Guocheng simply could not believe his ears.

In his eyes, his brother-in-law, who was somewhat cowardly, when did he become so firm?
