But he never expected that this person could be so difficult to deal with.
At this moment, Zhang Ke felt a burning sensation on his face.
This was more uncomfortable than being slapped publicly.
He had intended to endure and maintain his image, but now, he could no longer afford to.
Realizing that no matter how much he stretched his patience, he wouldn't be able to persuade this person, and rather than stubbornly sticking to one path, Zhang Ke had to change his approach.
Since soft tactics wouldn't work, he decided to try a harder one.
Zhang Ke frowned, but at that moment, Dong Hua quickly moved from the stage towards Zhang Ke.
He knew exactly what Zhang Ke was about to do.
Compared to Zhang Ke's next move, he had a more subtle and perfect method.
As a result, Dong Hua quickly stopped Zhang Ke.
Before Zhang Ke could impatiently speak, he quickly whispered something into Zhang Ke's ear.
These few simple words seemed to possess an extremely powerful magic, and the anger that was about to erupt in Zhang Ke's heart subsided once again.
Zhang Ke paused, then leaned over the table in front of him and whispered a few words to Zhang Yong, who was standing there.
"Kid, I think you're overthinking it."
Returning to the stage with Dong Hua, Dong Hua smoothed over the awkward atmosphere once again.
"We are all here to seek wealth and develop together. The future is certainly bright, but there will inevitably be many voices of doubt in this process. Just now, regarding the brother named Zhang Yong, although I don't know him well, I am very happy that he raised a different opinion. Since the issue has been brought up, I will take this opportunity to make a promise and provide an explanation to everyone."
Dong Hua seized upon Zhang Yong's question to elaborate.
Time ticked by, second by second.
By the table, Zhang Yong emerged from his previous state, feeling a sense of lingering fear.
His actions just now were entirely driven by a moment of righteous indignation.
As he was doing business, he had received care from the Lin family. Given this relationship, he couldn't stand idly by after hearing what Dong Hua and Zhang Ke had said.
However, that was the principle of the matter.
But now, in this foul environment, he couldn't help but feel a bit uneasy.
And just then, a call came to his phone.
Noticing his phone vibrate, Zhang Yong immediately got up and moved towards a corridor on the side of the hall, out to the villa's veranda.
Zhang Yong was already in a state of unease.
As a result, when he pulled out his phone and brought it to his ear, his voice was filled with impatience.
"Who is it?"
Hearing his wife's voice on the phone, Zhang Yong's previous agitation subsided somewhat.
His wife's calls were always the same, about trivial matters.
Without waiting to hear clearly what the other person said, Zhang Yong directly replied, "I'm outside, I'll be back soon!"
After saying this, following his usual logic.
The other party would surely hang up.
But for some reason today.
The voice on the other end of the phone continued incessantly.
This woman.
Zhang Yong was feeling annoyed and was about to scold her.
However, as he listened carefully, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
Because the voice on the phone was extremely muffled, as if coming through layers of gauze.
He thought it might be a bad signal.
So Zhang Yong walked a few more steps and then cupped his ear.
"What are you saying?"
Just as he was about to walk further, to the open space at the end of the corridor.
But at this moment, a voice made his feet feel as if they were welded to the ground by some mysterious force.
The muffled voice on the phone disappeared, replaced by a man's sinister voice.
"You are Zhang Yong, aren't you!"
The unfamiliarity of it sent a chill down Zhang Yong's spine.
He knew exactly who was in his house, and when had a man appeared?
So, Zhang Yong took a deep breath and asked cautiously, "Who are you?"
The man's voice had been deliberately altered.
Although it was disguised, it was still terrifying.
"It seems you are Zhang Yong, then it's correct. Your wife and children are now in my hands. Shall I let you hear the voices of your two daughters?"
Before Zhang Yong could nod or shake his head, the sound of his two daughters screaming hysterically and fearfully came through the phone.
Realizing that his family had been kidnapped.
Zhang Yong's heart was instantly filled with rage.
"Who are you? What do you want?" Harming family was a violation of Zhang Yong's bottom line.
In an instant, his voice grew louder and louder.
However, the man's voice did not cease at all, and moreover, a sinister laugh came through the phone.
The man said.
"You and I are strangers, and we will likely never meet in this life. Who I am is not important to you, so I don't think you need to know. And I don't want anything, I'm just helping President Zhang. President Zhang is so busy, he doesn't have time to accompany his wife and children. Since President Zhang has no time, I can only serve you!"
This statement was laced with hidden barbs and was extremely malicious!
Zhang Yong was not foolish. Upon hearing these words, how could he not understand what was happening?
Although the person on the phone was unknown, this person clearly intended to act ruthlessly!
Although not extremely wealthy, his family was in business, and security was not lacking. For this person to bypass his security and abduct his wife, it was clear that this person was no ordinary individual.
With ruthlessness and exceptional skill, Zhang Yong dared not be careless.
So he tried to raise his voice first, hoping for a stroke of luck, to see if he could intimidate the other party.
"You'd better not touch my family, or you'll regret it!"
However, the probability of luck working was extremely slim.
Zhang Yong's words sounded pale and powerless to the other party.
The person on the other end of the phone immediately chuckled.
"President Zhang, those words should be said by me to you! After all, President Zhang should understand that the chips are in my hands. Ordering me around like this is probably not beneficial to you!"
With this statement, Zhang Yong was instantly silenced.
"You, you!"
Countless waves of anger wanted to erupt, but when they reached his lips, only these two gritted teeth-filled words remained.
Zhang Yong was filled with rage. Who had he offended today?
It was one thing for Zhang Ke to be difficult, but now even his family was not spared.
However, as his expression gradually cleared and he calmed down, considering the pros and cons.
Zhang Yong took a deep breath and then honestly said to the person on the phone.
"What do you want? Speak, what are your conditions, how much money?"
At this point, Zhang Yong could only sacrifice wealth to avert disaster.
