Chapter 556 The Sky is Covered with One Hand
Zhou Shanshan hadn't expected Chen Yang to willingly accompany her to the evening party.
She paused for a second, then smiled with delight and said, "That's wonderful. This banquet would have been so boring, but with your company now, I'll at least have someone to talk to."
In the evening, Chen Yang and Zhou Shanshan, hand in hand, drove towards a place in Hanwu City called Red Star Restaurant.
The Red Star Restaurant was not large, but those familiar with it knew that ordinary people were not served here. Those who held evening parties here were either wealthy or noble.
This Red Star Restaurant was an industry of Dahua Tianxia Group, and many people took pride in being able to enter this establishment.
On the way, Chen Yang received a call from Zhu Que. Zhu Que reported, "Celestial Venerable, the interrogation of Hu Dingsheng has been completely concluded. He confessed to many crimes of the Zhou family. Furthermore, he is currently working for the Lu family in Hanwu City. I have compiled the Lu family's crimes and submitted them."
"This Dahua Tianxia Group, as the largest private enterprise in Hanwu City, has a great reputation here, but their group has committed countless evils. They have reached this point entirely by relying on underhanded tactics to win over many managers in Hanwu City."
"I don't think this Lu family needs to be kept around, so I have directly submitted their crimes. As for the Zhou family, our evidence is not sufficient to bring them down. The specific follow-up actions require your instructions, Celestial Venerable."
Chen Yang pondered for a moment and said, "Zhu Que, you are right. Keep the Zhou family's crimes in hand for now. As the most prominent family in Huaxia, they cannot be overthrown by ordinary evidence. Ultimately, it will rely on destroying their core family heritage. So, do not alert them for now. Since Hu Dingsheng is no longer useful, dispose of him by feeding him to the fish in the Yangtze River!"
After hanging up the phone, Chen Yang let out a sigh of relief. Letting Hu Dingsheng's corpse feed the fish was considered a form of redemption for his sins.
Zhou Shanshan, seeing Chen Yang sighing with a melancholic expression, gently nudged his arm and asked, "Chen Yang, what's wrong? Are you afraid of tonight's banquet? Afraid of a conflict with Lu Hua?"
"Don't worry. We'll be careful at the banquet and try to stay in the corners, avoiding direct conflict with Lu Hua. We'll leave halfway through the banquet. This will satisfy my mentor, the dean, and the hospital staff, and we won't be entangled by Lu Hua."
Chen Yang came back to his senses upon hearing this. He smiled lightly and shook his head, saying, "No, I'm not afraid of Lu Hua. Their Lu family is about to be finished. What is there to fear about that Lu Hua?"
The taxi driver in front, hearing the conversation between Chen Yang and Zhou Shanshan, jolted the steering wheel. The driver quickly said, "Oh dear, you two passengers, have you offended the Dahua Tianxia Group? The Lu Hua you're talking about, is he the young master of Dahua Tianxia Group?"
"I advise you two, if you have truly offended that infamous young master, you should leave Hanwu City immediately!"
"In Hanwu City, their Dahua Tianxia Group is heaven. You cannot escape their control in any aspect."
"Take our taxi industry, for example. It seems unrelated to Dahua Tianxia Group, right? But earlier this year, one of our captains drove a high-ranking executive from Dahua Tianxia Group. Because he was two minutes late, he was retaliated against by that executive."
"Our captain had some connections and refused to back down, confronting that executive. And guess what happened?"
"He is now crippled and had to crawl onto a train and leave Hanwu City to save his life. If he had stayed in Hanwu City, he wouldn't even have the right to be a beggar. This is the power of Dahua Tianxia Group."
"Moreover, our captain only offended a small executive. If you have offended the young master now, you are truly finished."
After hearing the driver's words, Zhou Shanshan's expression became serious. She turned to Chen Yang and said, "Chen Yang, why don't you skip this banquet? If you really get into a conflict with Lu Hua, will it affect your company's express delivery business in Hanwu City?"
"This driver brother is right. In Hanwu City, their Dahua Tianxia Group seems to be everywhere, and their presence is felt in all industries."
Chen Yang chuckled upon hearing this and reached out to pat Zhou Shanshan's hair, saying, "Don't worry, let's go into the banquet first."
The driver continued to remind them a few more times as he drove, and soon they arrived at the Red Star Restaurant ahead.
The driver stopped the car and said again, "You two, this Red Star Restaurant is the Lu family's own establishment. If you are going here, absolutely do not get into an argument with young master Lu, or you will never be able to leave this place. Your phone signals might not even get through here!"
Zhou Shanshan was startled by this and said, "No way, is it that serious? Do they even block phone signals here?"
The driver nodded with a wry smile, "It's highly possible. We taxi drivers hear a lot of gossip. Occasionally, when we drive some important figures, they brag that this Red Star Restaurant is very powerful."
"Don't let its appearance as a small restaurant fool you; it actually represents the highest management core of the entire Hanwu City. If you call for help from this restaurant, even the police wouldn't dare to enter. So, you two should keep a low profile and yield to circumstances inside."
"Anyway, I'm just a humble taxi driver, and I can only offer this much advice."
Zhou Shanshan quickly thanked the driver and turned to Chen Yang, her eyes filled with worry, "Chen Yang, do you think we should still go?"
Chen Yang smiled and said to Zhou Shanshan, "If you don't go, you'll lose your degree and your current job."
Zhou Shanshan hesitated for a moment, then said, "I can do without my degree or job. But if a conflict truly breaks out inside, and we can't get out, we'll lose our lives. That's the most serious thing."
"Besides, with my current abilities, even if Hanwu University doesn't give me a doctoral degree, I can still find a good job elsewhere and hold a position at another university."
"Chen Yang, let's not go. I'll resign and live in another city. I don't believe that Dahua Tianxia Group can control Hanwu City, can they control the entire Fubei Province?"
Chen Yang just chuckled upon hearing this. Then, he directly took Zhou Shanshan's delicate hand and said to her, "Let's go, we're going to the banquet. I had no interest in this banquet originally, but now I'm a little interested in this Lu Hua and this Dahua Tianxia Group."
