Chapter 42: Kneeling on the Ground to Beg for Mercy Flying Library Net

  Zhang Jun's heart was racing wildly, but he spoke in a very calm tone: "Mei Jie, actually one year is enough."

  Lin Xian hummed softly and hung up the phone, leaving Zhang Jun on the other end with a flurry of thoughts, wondering if Lin Xian was going to confess her feelings to him.

  In the evening, Zhang Guoqiang came to Jindal Hotel with a smile on his face. Zhang Jun had already ordered wine and dishes. The two of them chatted while drinking. Zhang Guoqiang felt good on his first day of reporting for duty. He was still in the probationary period and would only be considered officially on duty after three months.

  "Little uncle, is the personnel bureau busy?" Zhang Jun asked.

  "Busy? A beautiful woman like you and I wouldn't be busy?" Zhang Guoqiang said.

  Zhang Jun gave him a white eye and said: "Young uncle, you should calm down and work hard. As long as you perform well, plus my face, I guarantee that you can make a smooth career."

  Zhang Guoqiang nodded: "Xiao Jun, don't worry, your uncle is a top-notch person in whatever field he is in. As long as I have the opportunity, I can make a great leap forward."

  Zhang Guoqiang stayed for one night and moved to the personnel bureau dormitory the next day, saying that he was not used to living in a hotel. In fact, Zhang Jun understood that this was his way of saving money, so he didn't insist on him staying either.

  While Zhang Jun was leisurely waiting for Hua Buqi to return to the East Sea, Xu Bo's days were not going well, and could even be described as "hanging by a thread".

  Ever since the failed assassination attempt on Zhang Jun at the train station, Xu Bo has been living in fear every day, with his bodyguards increasing from two to eight. At the same time, he also secretly resented those two assassins for being so incompetent that they couldn't even take down someone as weak as him.

  He deeply understood Zhang Wu's terror, and the other party must have known about this matter. Would they retaliate against him? The speculation soon became a reality. On the third day after the assassination attempt failed, a Xu family car transporting jade lost contact as soon as it entered Donghai.

  There were jade worth 30 million on the car, which was a secret water goods smuggled into Donghai by Xu's family. It couldn't be exposed to light, so after losing it, they couldn't even report to the police and could only swallow the loss silently.

  Not only that, but after waking up, Xu Bo found a bloody dog head placed beside his pillow, which scared him to death. He immediately reported the incident to the police. Unfortunately, the police couldn't figure out what had happened either. They were baffled as to who could have breached the tight security of eight bodyguards and left a dog's head on the victim's bedside.

  Similar things happened one after another. All the expensive ornamental fish died, and when he opened a bottle of red wine, it was all blood; he even found disgusting cockroach corpses in his rice, driving Xu Bo nearly mad.

  He finally couldn't bear it after persisting for twenty-odd days and took the initiative to find Zhang Wu, which was also the fifth day of Zhang Jun's return to Donghai.

  In a dimly lit room, Zhang Wu and Zhang Jun sat indifferently across from each other. Xu Bo, who looked spiritless, sat on the other side, with eight bodyguards standing behind him, all of whom were extremely tense and kept looking around nervously.

  Xu Bo wiped his face and stared at Zhang Wu: "Zhang Wu, say it, what do you want?"

  Zhang Wu coldly said: "I don't understand."

  Xu Bo gritted his teeth and slammed the table: "Alright, I'll make it clear. It was me who sent someone to assassinate Zhang Jun. The deed is done, now get out of my way!"

  Zhang Wu narrowed his eyes and said: "Xu Gongzi has guts, I remember warning you before, don't move Zhang Jun, otherwise the consequences will be very serious."

  Xu Bo let out a cold laugh and said, "Zhang Wu, don't scare me. This is the mainland, there's no underworld here. If you make a move on me, you won't have a good ending either."

  Zhang Jun's anger rose, and he said in a low voice: "Xu Bo, why do you want to kill me? It seems that we don't have any deep grudges between us."

  "You're just an ant, do you need a reason to crush an ant?" Xu Bo said with disdain. "I didn't manage to kill you twice, consider yourself lucky, but your luck won't last forever."

  "Good, you're a real man!" Zhang Wu clapped his hands, "You live up to your reputation as Xu's young master, daring to do and dare to take responsibility, earning people's admiration."

  Xu Bo angrily said: "Zhang Wu, speak directly, what exactly do you want?"

  Zhang Wu smiled and said, "Don't say that, I'm a legitimate businessman who always follows the law. But you, Xu Shao, are different. You attempted murder and will be sentenced to three years or more in prison according to the criminal code."

  Xu Bo was shocked and suddenly stood up, angrily saying: "Zhang Wu, you dare to bully me!"

  Zhang pointed to the wall behind him and smiled, "There are hidden high-definition cameras installed here, which have recorded all your words and actions just now. Xu Bo, you can go back now and wait for the court summons."

  Xu Bo's face changed, and he said: "Zhang Wu, you think that with just one video clip, you can convict me?"

  "Of course not." Zhang Wu clapped his hands and a dark-faced middle-aged man was brought into the room, who was none other than Er Gou, the one who had attempted to assassinate Zhang Jun.

  Seeing this person, Xu Bo's face turned pale and he gritted his teeth: "I admit defeat, what do you want?"

  Zhang Wu's face turned cold and he said: "It's very simple, give me two hundred million to comfort my brother, then apologize to him and guarantee his safety."

  Xu Bo was furious: "Two hundred million? Why don't you go rob someone!"

  "Don't want to? Alright, that's your freedom. But Zhang Jun also has the freedom to appeal to the court. You're still young, even if you spend three to five years in prison, it won't be a big deal. But I'm warning you, there are all kinds of people in prison, you must take care of yourself." Zhang Wu said with a gloomy tone.

  Xu Bo's face changed instantly. Deaths in prison were a common occurrence, and Zhang Wu was an underworld figure, so it would be easy for him to hire someone to kill in prison.

  After repeated consideration, he still didn't dare to take the risk, and could only stomp his foot heavily, saying: "Fine, I agree with you, hoping that you can keep your promise!"

  Zhang Wu said coldly: "Zhang Jun is sitting right here, don't you have anything to say?"

  Xu Bo hesitated for a moment, then walked over and bowed his head saying: "Sorry."

  Zhang Junyi had been called over by Zhang Wu early on, and only when he arrived did he realize that this was a performance. He truly hated Xu Bo in his heart, but at the moment, he remained calm and collected, simply staring coldly at the other person.

  "You're being completely insincere."

  Xu Bo furrowed his brow, just about to speak, when Zhang Jun stood up and slapped him with a loud "slap", causing Xu's eyes to see stars, and he angrily shouted: "You dare hit me!"

  Zhang Jun glared at the other person, saying: "You son of a bitch, take a good look, you've tried to assassinate me twice, but I'm still alive and well." After finishing speaking, he slapped the other person again, hitting him so hard that blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

  Xu Bo glared fiercely with his eyes, but ultimately did not fight back. He knew that if he didn't let Zhang Jun get away with this, Zhang Wu would never let him off the hook, so he could only endure.

  Zhang Wu walked over at this time, his toes pointing to Xu Bo's knees, and the latter "thudded" and knelt down in front of Zhang Jun. The eight bodyguards wanted to rush over to protect their master, but were pressed against their foreheads by eight handguns, and not one dared to move.

  Xu Bo felt a wave of shame and let out a loud roar as he tried to get up, but was pressed down by Zhang Wu's hand on his shoulder, unable to move.

  Zhang Jun sat opposite him with a stern expression, looking down at him and said coldly: "You can get out."

  Zhang Wu let go of his hand, and Xu Bo suddenly stood up, casting a fierce glance at Zhang Wu and Zhang Jun before turning around and walking away without saying a word.

  Xu Bo left, Zhang Wu furrowed his brow and said: "According to my temper, I would have directly killed him, unfortunately the boss doesn't let me kill people."

  "Killing is not the best way to solve problems, Master is right."

  At night, Zhang Wu's account had an additional 200 million funds. He transferred the 200 million to ten cards and handed them over to Zhang Jun. Zhang Jun thanked Zhang Wu and said: "Brother Five, I'll treat you to dinner tonight."

  "Unfortunately, I have a dinner engagement tonight, let me treat you another day."

  "What's going on?" Zhang Jun asked casually.

  "My big boss upstairs has encountered some trouble, and now someone wants to take advantage of the situation in Donghai. I naturally won't let him have his way."

  Zhang Jun was completely unaware of the Jianghu affairs and asked: "Big boss? Are you referring to Master?"

  Zhang Wu shook his head: "Of course not, the big boss I'm referring to is the one who can make me call the wind and rain in Donghai. Do you know about the Yi Qi Group? The total assets of the Yi Qi Group are 23 billion, but this money isn't all mine, I only own 30% of it, the rest belongs to the big boss."

  "In the country, a consortium without a backstage is very difficult to develop. Of course, there are also special cases, but that's after all a minority." Zhang Wudao said, "I am the big boss's interest representative in Donghai, I make money, and the big boss makes money, you understand?"

  Zhang Jun nodded thoughtfully and said, "I understand."

  "The person I'm meeting tonight is named Wu Bo, this guy is very formidable, he used to be a lawyer in his early years, opened a factory, and later formed an alliance with Jiangbei underworld's Bai Liansheng, becoming Bai Liansheng's right-hand man."

  "Wu Bo now controls the southeastern region of Jiangbei, which is adjacent to Donghai. This person has a big appetite and seems to want to come to Donghai to grab food." Zhang Wu's eyes emitted a cold light.

  Zhang Jun thought for a moment and said: "Fifth brother, after Bai Lian was born, the big boss behind him compared to your big boss, who is stronger?"

  Zhang Wu waved his hand: "The account isn't calculated that way, no matter who is stronger, they won't intervene in the struggle below, otherwise what would we representatives do? In fact, even if Bai Lian Sheng took over Donghai, he would still have to pay tribute to my superior's big boss."

  Zhang Jundao said: "I understand, the big bosses each have their own turf, no matter how many people are replaced below them, their interests remain unchanged."

  "It's nothing, we're just pawns, once the situation is not in our favor, we might become abandoned pieces." Zhang Wu said calmly, "So when others say I'm a member of the underworld, I feel quite wronged."

  Zhang Jun bitterly smiled: "You're not a member of the underworld, you're clearly a manager."

  Zhang Wu smiled and patted Zhang Jun's shoulder: "Brother, are you interested in going over together tonight?"

  Zhang Jun thought for a moment and said, "Good, I also want to broaden my horizons."

  Along the coast of Donghai City, Zhang Wu led a group of over 100 people, including Zhang Jun, onto a luxurious cruise ship. On board, another group had been waiting for them - they were Wu Bo's men.

  The cruise ship set sail and didn't stop until it reached international waters.

  Zhang Jun's first time on this luxury cruise, he found everything fascinating and thought to himself that when he had the money, he would buy a yacht too and take a group of beautiful women on a leisurely sea voyage.

  The cruise ship had three decks. On the lowest deck, in a large hall, Zhang Jun saw Wu Bo. Wu Bo was a man in his forties, wearing glasses and dressed in a black suit, with his hair combed neatly, looking very elegant.
