Chapter 257: Mysterious Person

He knows the method is foolish, but he has no choice!

Last time, he compensated a full twenty billion!

That twenty billion was money he earned over half his life. His company was on the brink of bankruptcy, and those artists all terminated their contracts.

If it weren't for Jiang Cheng, he couldn't have fallen to such a state!

All of this is entirely due to the other party.

He hates Jiang Cheng!

"Right now, I basically have no other way to solve this problem; I'm forced into this desperate measure."

Huang Zhengming's face was full of indignation.

He spoke slowly, his eyes full of anger, which gradually twisted his expression. His brows were tightly knit as he angrily accused Jiang Cheng's actions.

Originally he was developing Victory, and everything seemed to be heading in a good direction, with their company's scale continually expanding.

It's all because of Jiang Cheng that he faces huge breach-of-contract penalties!

The artists he had recently signed also all terminated their contracts.

Just thinking of his former glory, and then thinking of how he is now like a dog being trampled underfoot.

His heart only felt a wave of sorrow!

He is both uncontrollably angry and filled with mixed anger.

A surging blaze raged wildly in his heart. Heaven knows, at the moment he saw Jiang Cheng, he truly wished he could skin the other party alive!

But he ended up restraining himself.

If it weren't because, in the matter of taking a life, Huang Zhengming is terrified to the extreme, if it weren't for this reason, Jiang Cheng would probably have died hundreds of times by now!

How could it possibly be that he now so easily develops his current endeavors and even gets a chance to reject him?

"Idiot!"

The mysterious man, frustrated that Huang Zhengming didn't live up to expectations, couldn't hold back and kicked him hard.

"If I had known your approach would be like this, I shouldn't have believed your nonsense back then! I should have just kicked you out, not secretly assisted you!"

The more the mysterious man thought, the angrier he became.

Back then, he actually believed this guy could definitely settle Jiang Cheng and pull him down from his pedestal.

Who could have imagined that this guy's approach could literally anger him to death!

How stupid must he have been back then to believe him?

Huang Zhengming knelt on the ground, pleading: "Give me one more chance, I can prove myself."

"I'll think of other ways to drag him down and bankrupt his company! But I need some time, okay?"

He earnestly begged the person before him, word by word.

He was panicked and uneasy.

With a hint of anxiety, he was burning with urgency.

He feared being cruelly rejected by the mysterious man!

Once rejected, all his efforts would come to nothing.

Thinking of how his efforts were being destroyed bit by bit, his gaze gradually turned fierce.

Moreover, it was mixed with too much of his hatred for this matter.

The mysterious man gradually calmed down.

He glared at the guy in front of him.

"I advise you to be sensible, act cautiously! If you dare do this again, just get out of my sight and stop embarrassing yourself in front of me!"

"Secondly, those two are tough to handle, don't think you can rise to the top in one step." The mysterious man, suppressing all his anger, gave kind advice to the person before him.

Huang Zhengming quickly nodded.

"I understand!"

"I will pay close attention to these details, definitely not cause any trouble, and never let this happen again." His voice choked up, showing he was truly frightened by what just happened.

He didn't expect the other party to fly into a rage.

Even worse, he suddenly treated him horribly without regard.

Think of how he used to be, widely respected.

Those people used to flatter him, coming to curry favor. Now he is like a street rat that everyone shouts to beat and kill. Even if he makes a comeback, most people dare not cooperate with him.

This is what he finds most frightening!

"Best that way!"

"Otherwise, I don't mind at all—" The mysterious man's eyes suddenly turned vicious as he stared straight at the idiot before him.

If you dare to act recklessly, don't blame him for being impolite!

Where would Huang Zhengming dare to act recklessly now?

He decisively nodded, just flattering throughout.

"I understand!"

"I will definitely not cause such a thing again."

He said humbly, lowering his eyes slightly, his bottomless sorrow visible.

He was tormented.

!

"Since you know, hurry up and get out of my sight, stop embarrassing yourself in front of me."

"Just looking at you makes me feel ill-omened!"

He was especially vexed, feeling that placing hope in such an idiot would surely lead to his doom at any moment.

He was pondering, his mood irritable.

But the matter had already been settled; even if he had opinions, he could only suppress them.

Huang Zhengming left.

After leaving, Huang Zhengming's gaze turned sinister, and his face began to twist into a ferocious expression. Thinking of the humiliation he had suffered recently, his hatred for Jiang Cheng grew a bit more.

He hated Jiang Cheng!

——

For several days in a row, it was calm and peaceful.

But Jiang Cheng always felt that the surface calm hid turbulent undercurrents; some people were probably plotting against him.

Jiang Cheng had already devised a countermeasure.

He was not panicked.

Moreover, with someone keeping an eye on Huang Zhengming, he felt even less nervous.

It was said that Huang Zhengming went to meet someone; as for that person's identity, they had been unable to find out.

"Even you guys can't find out?"

"Yes!"

"We have gathered a lot of information, trying to uncover the other party's identity, but so far we have heard nothing about them."

"Furthermore, that day the other party wore all-black clothing, tightly wrapped up; on the road he kept switching vehicles, and according to our investigation those vehicles were not all his—because he drove too fast, we temporarily couldn't catch up and ultimately lost him."

Their abilities have always been outstanding, yet they never imagined they would fail to catch up with the other party!

Finally, clues about the other party were even scarcer.

This really left them at a loss.

Given their abilities, they shouldn't have failed.

Unless——

The other party is very strong.

"I suspect the other party's identity is not simple. So here I advise you: you and Su Manyao had better be cautious."

"After all, the other party lurks in the dark while you are in the light; you don't know their identity, nor why they inexplicably sent Huang Zhengming to attack you."

"What you can do now is to wait and see, first investigate these matters thoroughly with Su Manyao; unless you have evidence or know who the other party is, you can then go look for trouble with them." (End of chapter)
