Chapter 230: Seeking wealth and safety in danger

There was only a dull thud as Nelson fell to the ground, like a heap of mud.

Zhou Ming did not even glance at Nelson. He continued walking towards Tang Yu. Just as his hand was about to touch the sofa, the black hulk, who had not appeared, walked down the stairs.

'Who's making all that noise here? It's really spoiling the mood!'

The black hulk said in a very dissatisfied tone of voice, as he walked down the stairs, his hands still grabbing the girl Xiaoyu, who kept on putting herself on and off.

Looking around, the girl was in the hands of the strong black man like an inflatable doll, mindlessly at his mercy. The girl's body was covered in bruises of shocking appearance; it was not difficult to imagine what kind of abuse this poor girl had suffered before. Even now, the black hunk was kneading her sensitive breasts so hard that she couldn't even moan in pain, only a small meow-like sound.

With a shudder, the black hulk casually threw the girl to the ground like an old condom.

Seeing this, Zhou Ming and although they didn't know the girl, they were also furious at this kind of thing. This black man is nothing but a scumbag!

But the black hulk grinned evilly, pulled up his trousers, looked around, and finally looked at Nelson on the ground and said, 'Pathetic ghost-faced tarantula, it seems that's about it. Usually you're so cocky, but when you meet a tough guy, you're just stupid, aren't you? I'm sorry to tell you, but I don't clean up after myself. Pray to God, my friend, and don't be trash in your next life.'

After saying goodbye to Nelson, he looked at Zhou Ming and Zhou Ming and said, 'It seems that you are the people that Mr. Tang Yu wants to deal with. I'm sorry to inform you that today is day of your deaths. You yellow-skinned monkeys, I will crush your bones like instant noodles. Prepare yourselves, scum!'

After saying this, he lunged at him with bared teeth and claws. His burly frame seemed to make the ground tremble with each step, but the Chinese man was much more relaxed than the angry black hulk. He just stood there, not taking the other guy seriously at all.

Seeing this, the black hulk roared at him, 'Get moving, you useless piece of shit! Show me your Chinese kung fu! I'll show you! In my opinion, all your Chinese kung fu is rubbish! I once personally smashed the heads of three self-proclaimed masters of Chinese descent. The feeling of splattering brain matter is truly more addictive than drugs, but today I have decided to break every bone in your body!'

'What a load of rubbish,' he said, and then, as if by magic, produced a pistol, cocked it, and fired two shots.

The two shots hit the black hulk in the knee, causing him to kneel down on the spot. He said to him, 'These two shots are for you to atone for all the Chinese people you have insulted, but there are not only these two shots left.'

He said, and then pulled the trigger again and again. With a series of bangs, a flower of blood bloomed on the black strongman's body, and it wasn't until the last shot that his head exploded.

In the end, the black hulk fell to the ground like a ragged sack, and at this time, the girl, who had been numb, seemed to come back to life and got up. She was madly beating the dead black hulk, cursing, 'You scum demon, I'll kill you!'

Zhou Ming didn't know what to say to this poor girl, so he just let her find some clothes to wear and leave first.

Zhou Ming then sat down in front of Tang Yu. At this time, Tang Yu stared at Zhou Ming with wide eyes, as if he had entered a trance, mumbling, 'Impossible, how is this possible? They were the most formidable thugs in Tiandelong District, how could they just be eliminated like this?'

Zhou Ming said, 'Face reality, nothing is impossible. Even if they are fighting machines that have survived the law of the jungle in the Tien Derong District, they are not up to par after all. In the face of a real warrior, they are still not good enough.'

Tang Yu looked up at Zhou Ming angrily, as if she wanted to devour him alive. She gritted her teeth and said to Zhou Ming, 'If you're so capable, you can kill me now, otherwise I will continue to find someone to get rid of you. Since the ghost-faced tarantula didn't work, I'll find someone else, there's bound to be someone who can do it!'

Zhou Ming scratched his head and said with some difficulty, 'You can't keep looking like this without a clue. How about I recommend someone to you? Have you heard of the name "Reaper"?

'You mean the internationally renowned hit squad? They are said to have successfully assassinated various state leaders. If I can find him, I'm afraid you would already be a corpse. It's just that I would rather see you suffer than die...'

Tang Yu's words suddenly stopped here, because he suddenly remembered something and asked with some fear, 'Did you say that you have hired the Reaper?'

Zhou Ming pretended to sigh and said, 'I'm sorry it's like this, otherwise how do you think your people died? In fact, this is the job of the snipers in the Reaper organisation. They are watching the area from a distance of no more than 200 metres. As soon as they see any dangerous elements, they will shoot.'

Zhou Ming said, pointing upstairs and outside. Tang Yu gasped in disbelief at Zhou Ming's words. He shook his head and said, 'Impossible. How could you possibly hire the Reapers? Aren't they the most mysterious international killer organisation that only accepts specific missions?'

Zhou Ming shrugged at this nonsense, and pointed behind him and said, 'Nothing is impossible. For some reason, the Reapers owe my friend a favour, so my friend can easily hire them.'

Tang Yu's eyes sparkled as he kept glancing back and forth between Zhou Ming and. Finally, he laughed heartily, pointed at Zhou Ming and shouted, 'You want to scare me, that's absolutely impossible!'

'I'm sorry, actually I didn't mean it. I just came here today to talk to you about something.'

Zhou Ming sorted out his thoughts and asked, 'I know that you hate me very much after being disinherited...'

'I hate you so much that I want to tear you limb from limb!' Tang Yu'e said fiercely.

Zhou Ming gestured for Tang Yu to calm down, and then asked, 'Then I'd like to know, if you want this inheritance, what exactly do you want to inherit?'

'Are you an idiot? Of course it's the Tang family that I want to inherit, and the incredibly huge family business. Rubbish like you will never understand!' Tang Yu said.

'Perhaps I really don't understand, but I'm curious about one thing. The inheritance you're talking about is actually just the absolute shares of Tangren Bank and the ownership of other businesses remains with whoever it was before. You only have a certain amount of influence because you hold the core shares, and that's about it. It doesn't seem to be as powerful as you think,' said Zhou Ming.

Tang Yu looked at Zhou Ming intently and asked, 'What are you really trying to say?'

'What I want to say is that it doesn't matter whether you have the right to inherit or not, because I can give you what you want, as long as we can cooperate,' said Zhou Ming.

'That's all very well and good, but do you know what I want?' asked Tang Yu.

'It's nothing more than money and power. Forget about power. Originally, the Tang family's inheritance was not a true inheritance in the full sense of the word. He only inherited the absolute shareholding, which allows the clan chief to exert influence over other clan members through control of the capital. I think you know very well how much power you can really have in this way. Even if the clan chief is not competent enough, there is a possibility that he will be driven out.'

Zhou Ming looked at Tang Yu and continued, 'Of course, Mr. Tang Yu, you may not be like this, but sometimes it is hard to tell what will happen. After all, I don't think Tang Yi and Tang Wan'er are easy to deal with. Especially Tang Yi, I don't think he is as reckless as he seems.'

'So you're saying that if I really inherited the Tang family, there's a possibility that I might not be able to control the situation?' Tang Yu asked.

'I'm just saying that it's possible. After all, as the family business grows bigger and bigger, it's normal for control to become weaker. This has nothing to do with ability, it's just that relatively speaking, there is a simpler way,' Zhou Ming said.

'Work with you?' Tang Yu asked, staring at Zhou Ming.

Zhou Ming nodded and smiled, 'Yes, although I cannot give you the power of the clan leader, I can at least keep all your possessions. You can continue to oversee your business and use the family's connections and grow richer and richer. When you're rich, you can run for mayor, governor or even president, and then you can buy power with money.'

Tang Yu looked at Zhou Ming and said, 'This is definitely a risky venture like walking on a tightrope. Aren't you afraid that I will find a way to develop it and be the first to get rid of you and Tang Ran?'

'Risk is the path to wealth,' Zhou Ming said, 'and I don't think it's that risky. Tang Yu, would you just idly play with a knife and stab yourself in the heart?'

Tang Yu frowned, and Zhou Ming continued, 'I'm sorry to tell you that I have a habit of working with people, and that is to make sure that my collaborators get his share of the profits. More importantly, all my collaborations are centred on me, just like your heart. I supply all the blood in your body, and you have no reason to get rid of me.'

'One last question,' Tang Yu asked. 'Why do you want to collaborate with me? Don't say you don't want to guard against thieves for a thousand days or some other nonsense, because judging by your ability to hire the Reaper, it would be very easy for you to get rid of me without anyone noticing, so there's no need to take such a difficult path.'

'It seems that Mr. Tang Yu is not as dumb as he seems, at least on this issue,' Zhou Ming said, 'Because I like the skunk in your hand.'

Tang Yu took a sharp intake of breath, looking at Zhou Ming in disbelief. Zhou Ming said to him, 'Don't get excited, and don't ask me how I know, and don't ask me what I'm going to do, because I won't answer you right now, and you you only need to know one thing: before you abandon Skunk, we are still in a state of cooperation, and I will make our cooperation very, very profitable.'

Tang Yu was silent for a while before he said, 'So you convinced Tang Yi and Tang Wan'er in the same way?'

'Not exactly the same, but anyone who cooperates with me will get their fair share of the profits,' said Zhou Ming.

'What about Cheng Qian? It seems that he was also turned against you,' Tang Yu suddenly asked.

Zhou Ming shook his head and said, 'I'm sorry, I only know that he was being manipulated, but I don't know who he works for. At that time, I had just taken over Jieke Company and was in need of people, so I kept him. However, it seems that he has not betrayed me.'

'He really didn't betray you, because your imperial bearing completely conquered him,' Tang Yu said with emotion.

Zhou Ming thanked Tang Yu and then asked, "So you agree to our cooperation?'

'I haven't agreed, but I think there are some things that are worth trying," Tang Yu said.

'No problem,' Zhou Ming said.
