Chapter 261 Pointing the Way

The more this was the case, the more uneasy he felt.

Having just been dealt with at the police station, and now facing this situation, Tang Shengtang's heart pounded erratically.

Was this person before him a blessing or a curse?

Tang Shengtang couldn't figure out what this person was up to.

Before he could speak, he preemptively asked, "Director Yun, what exactly do you want me here for?"

Director Yun smiled mysteriously, not getting straight to the point, but instead looking around and speaking about other things.

"You haven't been doing too well lately, have you? I know I was a bit harsh with you last time. Now, I'll show you a way."

Show him a way? Tang Shengtang was stunned at first, then a hint of disbelief welled up in his heart.

Could this person really be this kind?

He had messed up last time.

Director Yun, after all, was someone who navigated the business world, where profit was everything in their eyes.

Would this person do something that conflicted with his own interests?

Even if he believed in ghosts, he wouldn't believe this.

Although Tang Shengtang stood there motionless, like a wooden carving,

his thoughts were quickly seen through by Director Yun.

"Director Tang, you probably still doubt me, suspecting I want to take revenge. I don't have that much free time. I see you've worked with me for a while, and I just can't stand to see you like this."

Upon hearing this, Tang Shengtang's guard lowered a bit. At the same time, he couldn't help but ask, "So, Director Yun, you really are going to show me a way?"

Director Yun still didn't answer.

Seeing this, Tang Shengtang couldn't help but probe.

"Lu Feng has gone too far. Now, I'm sure Director Yun is also at odds with this person. If possible, I hope we can join forces again."

Wasn't Director Yun going to show him a way?

As long as his request was granted, he would have a strong backing. Wouldn't that be showing him a way?

At the same time, Tang Shengtang poured out all his thoughts.

However, Director Yun, upon hearing this, simply smiled faintly and then shook his head.

Seeing this, Tang Shengtang was completely stunned. Did Director Yun not want to deal with that Lu Feng kid anymore?

Immediately, he also felt disheartened.

As expected, there's no free lunch in this world. Director Yun was clearly insincere.

What way was there to talk about then?

Director Yun on the opposite side had already seen through his thoughts, and thus he said to Tang Shengtang, "It's not that I don't want to deal with Lu Feng, but with your current status, anyone who opposes Lu Feng will find it difficult. Besides, Lu Feng already suspects you; you're no longer on his list of targets."

"How can I show you a clear path then?"

Tang Shengtang, who had been holding onto hope just moments ago, now saw his hope dashed. He was no longer afraid to speak his mind.

At the same time, Tang Shengtang became agitated, his bright eyes fixed on Director Yun.

Director Yun, however, remained remarkably calm.

"When I say I'll show you a clear path, I don't mean for you to go to your death, but for you to leave here quickly. How about this: I'll buy out your remaining assets, which aren't much. From now on, you shouldn't appear in Dongnan City. Anyway, I estimate Lu Feng will find trouble with you sooner or later."

Although this was somewhat different from what Tang Shengtang had in mind, the words were also true.

Seeing Tang Shengtang's expression darken, Director Yun continued, "I know you hate Lu Feng. I hate him too. But now you have no choice, right? Don't worry, I'll deal with that Lu Feng kid sooner or later. When that kid is dealt with, I'll definitely invite you back."

Hearing this, Tang Shengtang weighed it in his heart. Although Director Yun's words carried some consideration for him,

this person was planning to expand.

He had no way to deal with his current assets, but if there was a substantial influx of capital, he could still recover.

Tang Shengtang understood this well.

He didn't care about these things.

Given his current predicament, Director Yun's solution was indeed a viable option. Anyway, his own Zhouge Mountain Villa was struggling to operate. If someone took over, and it was someone he knew and trusted, it would be a relief for him.

Who cared if he expanded or not?

As long as the compensation was adequate, that would be enough. He could take his wife and children and live the rest of his life peacefully elsewhere, away from troubles and disputes.

To be a simpleton, out of sight, out of mind, wasn't so bad.

With this thought, Tang Shengtang's originally furrowed brow slowly relaxed.

Noticing the expression on Tang Shengtang's face, Director Yun smiled coldly and then said, "Since Director Tang also has this intention, let's sign now."

This person before him was clearly well-prepared, which warmed Tang Shengtang's heart.

Although Director Yun had scolded him severely last time, he hadn't forgotten him in the end. Very few people could do this.

Under this impulse, Tang Shengtang glanced at the contract before him, picked up the pen without hesitation, and quickly signed it.

Seeing this, Director Yun quickly called for someone from outside, who then stamped the document.

After a series of actions, Director Yun finally looked at Tang Shengtang.

"Alright, you can go back now. The rest is no longer your concern; we will be fully responsible until the end."

Being a hands-off owner was truly great.

After thanking Director Yun profusely, Tang Shengtang left and headed straight home.

He hadn't returned home for several days. Now, he just wanted to see his son and his wife.

The police station was not a good place.

He sped all the way.

However, when Tang Shengtang returned to Zhouge Mountain Villa, he was stunned. What was going on? The entire villa was bustling, filled with people everywhere.

Tang Shengtang hadn't seen so many people in a long time. Now, they all seemed to be gathered together, especially near the main gate, which was crowded.

"What are you doing?" Tang Shengtang frowned as he saw the scene upon returning from outside.

He had only been away for a few days, and these people had truly forgotten their place.

He was still the primary responsible person for Zhouge Mountain Villa.

Just because he went to the police station, did they have to disrespect him so much?

At this moment, Tang Shengtang couldn't help but shout, "What are you doing? Go back quickly, and do what you should be doing."

He thought that everyone would behave themselves, but after he spoke, all eyes turned to Tang Shengtang.

After a brief pause of five seconds, these people indifferently swept their gazes elsewhere.

So cold.

This infuriated Tang Shengtang.

How could this be tolerated?
