Full of admiration

The path to great wealth and prosperity has many routes; one can steal, rob, or deceive. But if you stretch your hand over us, I assure you, the risk will be greater than robbing an armored car," Zhou Yunkang said with a smile.

After a pause, Zhou Yunkang continued, "Do you know who I am? You dare to intervene in the affairs of the Black Dragon Society. Even if you are as fierce as a tiger, I can still chop off your dog head!"

"It seems our negotiations are doomed to fail," Chen Liuhe shrugged, looking at Qin Ruohan, his lips carrying a hint of playful smile. "What? Are you ready to compromise?"

Qin Ruohan glared at Zhou Yunkang with frost on her face, gritting her teeth, "He's using my brother as a threat. If I don't sign the contract, they will target my brother."

Chen Liuhe nodded, looking at Zhou Yunkang with a cold smile, "You are really a group of unscrupulous animals. Let's get down to business, Zhou. I have a suggestion. How about the Black Dragon Society give up the idea of taking over this club?"

Zhou Yunkang was first stunned, then burst into laughter. His smile was full of disdain and annoyance. "Are you seeking a dead end? I can leave it at this today. If I don't have the signed transfer agreement before I leave, you may not see the sun tomorrow."

"Hehe, the Black Dragon Society is indeed formidable. But coming from you, it sounds a bit feeble, lacking impact," Chen Liuhe chuckled lightly, asking Huang Bai, "Old Huang, are you afraid?"

"Hell no." Huang Bai grinned, showing his large yellow teeth. He was a solitary man without family ties. Since he started helping Chen Liuhe investigate Zhou Yunkang, he had already committed himself fully.

Continuing, Chen Liuhe said, "Zhou, I can make things clear now. Since I've intervened, you can forget about this club. You won't be able to take it away. I don't care if you're the Black Dragon Society or the Black Dog Society."

Zhou Yunkang's face turned cold. He looked at Qin Ruohan and asked, "Is this what you want?"

Qin Ruohan pursed her lips, silent. It was obvious she agreed with Chen Liuhe's words.

Zhou Yunkang nodded, standing up with a sneer. "Alright, very well," he said with a murderous look in his eyes. After uttering these words, he turned to leave.

"What? Leaving before we finish talking? Did I say you could leave?" Chen Liuhe's lazy voice came out.

Zhou Yunkang glared angrily, saying, "Today, I'll walk out of here. If you have the guts, try to stop me!" With that, Zhou Yunkang continued to walk arrogantly.

With a cold laugh, Chen Liuhe suddenly picked up the ashtray from the table and smashed it towards Zhou Yunkang without warning.

With a dull bang, accompanied by Zhou Yunkang's screams, a gash was opened on the back of his head, and fresh blood flowed out.

Seeing this scene, Qin Ruohan covered her mouth in shock, looking at Chen Liuhe in disbelief. Was this guy crazy? That was the vice president of the Black Dragon Society, Zhou Yunkang. To attack him like this was bound to escalate the situation.

She now felt somewhat desperate. She had now made mortal enemies with the Black Dragon Society. In such a situation, how could negotiations continue? If she couldn't reconcile with the Black Dragon Society, then even if she secured the club tonight, what would be the point? She couldn't contend with the Black Dragon Society. What awaited her would surely be a tragic end.

Chen Liuhe ignored Qin Ruohan's thoughts. He looked coldly at Zhou Yunkang, who was lying on the ground holding his head. "It's not difficult for me to keep you here," he said.

"You're dead! I'll make you die a horrible death!" Zhou Yunkang howled in despair. He never thought Chen Liuhe would dare to attack him. No one had dared to do so for many years.

"Drag him over here," Chen Liuhe said to Huang Bai. Without a word, Huang Bai walked up and dragged Zhou Yunkang's head to Tang Ren's feet, leaving a trail of blood on the ground.

"I'm not sure if you'll die, but if you don't negotiate with me today, you'll die miserably," Chen Liuhe said, squinting his eyes. There was no chilling aura, no intimidating presence. Just these ordinary words, but they made Qin Ruohan and Zhou Yunkang shudder.

"The Black Dragon Society is powerful, but let's be clear. My brother and I are just two poor, insignificant men. We're willing to do despicable things, and we can easily disappear," Chen Liuhe said, making Zhou Yunkang fearful. As the saying goes, the barefoot are not afraid to wear shoes.

Gasping for breath, Zhou Yunkang, enduring the pain, looked at Chen Liuhe and finally compromised, "Negotiate? How? He isn't afraid of those who seem more wealthy and vicious than him; he fears those who are utterly reckless.

"As it's a negotiation, I naturally have my cards to play." Chen Liuhe smiled again, a look that made Huang Bai help Zhou Yunkang sit on the sofa.

Speaking, Chen Liuhe didn't hesitate. He took out a stack of photos from his pocket and threw them on the coffee table, looking down on Zhou Yunkang, "Zhou, to be honest, I really admire you. You are simply a model for us all."

Ignoring Chen Liuhe's sarcasm, when Zhou Yunkang saw the stack of photos, his face instantly turned pale, and he anxiously picked up the stack of photos, looking through them one by one. The expression on his face became increasingly ugly.

Without waiting for Zhou Yunkang to speak, Chen Liuhe continued, "Zhou, how you climbed to your current position, I think you know better than anyone. If your delicate wife were to see these photos, what would her reaction be? Without her, what would your fate in the Black Dragon Society be like?"

"You bastard, you investigated me? How did you get these photos?" Zhou Yunkang could no longer remain calm, glaring at Chen Liuhe. His eyes seemed to want to devour him.

"I've said it before, with no secrets among us, you dared to do what you did, yet you're afraid of others finding out?" Chen Liuhe smiled and asked Huang Bai.

Chen Liuhe chuckled and asked, "Tell me, what value do these photos have in your mind? Can they be worth a club?"

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Yunkang tried to calm himself. He threw away the photos in his hand, pretending not to care, "You are too naive. It's normal for a man to be romantic. Even if my wife finds out, it will end with nothing. But what about your fate?"

"Hehe, what if your father-in-law finds out you dared to play with his woman? What do you think will happen to you? Will you be thrown into West Lake or dismembered and fed to the dogs?" Chen Liuhe teased.

At these words, Zhou Yunkang's face turned even paler. Then, he looked at Chen Liuhe with a horrified expression. "How did you know about this?" he asked.

Chen Liuhe shook his head with a cold smile, not answering. He knew he had caught Zhou Yunkang by the throat. Someone who had climbed to his current position step by step using women couldn't possibly watch everything crumble before his eyes. And Zhou Yunkang was afraid of death. Since he feared death, he had to compromise.

After a moment, clutching his wound, Zhou Yunkang slumped on the sofa, laughing self-deprecatingly. "You've won. I underestimated you."

Chen Liuhe smiled indifferently. "Winning or losing doesn't matter. What matters is that we all get what we need. We all want to live in peace and prosperity, or even better."

Zhou Yunkang asked, "So, what do you want?"

"You should know very well," Chen Liuhe smiled at Zhou Yunkang, but the smile seemed more like that of a demon in Zhou Yunkang's eyes.

"You think too highly of me. I can't make such a big decision. I'm just a vice president of the Black Dragon Society. The one who makes the decision is Zhang Yongfu. He's set his sights on this club. After spending so much effort, he won't give up halfway," Zhou Yunkang said.

"Then, what use are you to us?" Chen Liuhe asked.

"I want Zhang Yongfu to give up on 'Jin Yu Man Tang.' That's impossible," Zhou Yunkang said. "Even if you kill me, I can't do it."

Chen Liuhe patted Zhou Yunkang's shoulder and said earnestly, "I know it's difficult, but you're in the middle of this. Otherwise, you'll be worthless alive."

These threatening words made Zhou Yunkang's heart skip a beat. Chen Liuhe continued, "You can tell Zhang Yongfu that there's no need to be ruthless. Leaving a way out for everyone is beneficial. Money is endless. If we destroy everything, no one will benefit."

"I can try," Zhou Yunkang said, taking a deep breath. He knew he had no choice.

"That's right. I believe with your ability, you can handle this. After all, you don't want to lose everything you've gained today, do you?" Chen Liuhe smiled. "Alright, go to the hospital and get your wound treated. We'll wait for your good news."

Even after Zhou Yunkang left, Chen Liuhe remained calm. Huang Bai couldn't help but give Chen Liuhe a thumbs up, full of admiration. "Brother Liu, you're amazing. You've shattered Zhou Yunkang's mental defenses."
