"Big brother, I’ll do whatever you say!"

Wu Ji sniffled, his voice still trembling.

Just as the words fell, the doorbell rang, and Ling Chuan immediately stood up to check the situation, discovering that the person standing at the door was actually Gao Peng.

"Strange, why is Gao Peng here?"

Ling Chuan frowned, a face full of puzzlement.

"Let him in, I asked him to come."

Yang Cheng spoke, and Ling Chuan pressed the remote control to unlock the door, letting Gao Peng in.

To avoid too many eyes, Kong Lingwen had long given all the villa’s servants a day off, so now the vast villa had only a few of them.

When Gao Peng walked in, all he felt was the cold emptiness, a bit of an eerie feeling creeping into his heart.

"Brother Cen, why did you call me to the Kong Family, is there something going on?"

He looked at Yang Cheng, offering a flattering smile.

"Don’t be so afraid of me. If I really wanted to kill you, you’d have no chance to escape. Sit down."

Yang Cheng pointed to the sofa opposite, signaling him to sit down quickly.

This indeed made sense, which actually calmed Gao Peng down a lot as he plopped down on the sofa.

"Did you tell your dad about the clubhouse?"

Yang Cheng asked.

"I told him on the way back; my dad wants me to follow you and deal with the Cao Family, but..."

Gao Peng hesitated, glancing at Yang Cheng’s expression.

Yang Cheng understood and said directly, "Your dad is unwilling to hand over Yun Mei to me, is that right?"

"Brother Cen, I tried to persuade my dad, but he scolded me thoroughly. He also said that since there’s trouble at the Jile Clubhouse, the money I owe doesn’t need to be repaid, so Yun Mei can’t be sold to you."

Gao Peng was very nervous, fearing that once he finished speaking, Yang Cheng would slap him to the ground.

"I thought your dad was a smart man, turns out he only knows small tricks. Call him, I’ll talk to him!"

Yang Cheng showed a disdainful smile, scaring Gao Peng into quickly taking out his phone to dial the number.

"How’s the negotiation going?"

The moment the call connected, Gao Liang’s voice came through, indicating he had been waiting a while.

"Dad, Brother Cen wants to talk to you personally."

Gao Peng said, handing the phone directly to Yang Cheng.

"Mr. Gao, perhaps Gao Peng hasn’t explained clearly. Cao Ruibin has long been eyeing the Yun Mei plot. The reason he cooperates with you is for your territory."

"Tonight, Cao Zhihao set up a scheme, causing Gao Peng to owe twelve billion, showing the Cao father and son’s relentless determination. Your territory is now a hot potato, and with the incident at Jile Clubhouse tonight, the Gao Family is also under suspicion. Do you think Cao Ruibin will let you off?"

"You’re reluctant to let go of the foundation you’ve built over the years, but if you don’t pull out now, you may not survive. I’m offering twenty billion, which is not a low price. You can start anew elsewhere."

Yang Cheng used both soft and hard tactics to make Gao Peng give up the territory quickly. If it dragged on and Gao Liang got killed, it would be much harder to handle.

"You say it’s a hot potato, so why do you insist on taking it over?"

Gao Liang felt this kid was just tricking him. Twenty billion was indeed a lot, but some properties were invaluable.

"Because the Kong Family and the Cao Family are at irreconcilable odds. By spending money to take it over, we’re going all out against the Cao Family. If you insist on not selling, I won’t force you, but then the Gao Family’s matters have nothing to do with us."

Yang Cheng finished speaking and waited quietly, giving Gao Liang time to think.

He knew well that Gao Liang was no good, having previously ordered people to tamper with Wen Yu Cosmetics Factory, proving his low character. He reckoned the Kong Family’s hotel poisoning case was also his idea.

However, Yang Cheng never intended to really collaborate with Gao Liang. It was just that the Gao Family would give up Yun Mei, and he could ensure the Gao Family’s escape.

A moment later, Gao Liang finally spoke, "Twenty-five billion, and Yun Mei is yours, but you have to ensure the safety of Gao Peng and me."

He knew Cao Ruibin well; if he couldn’t get Yun Mei this time, he’d surely harbor murderous intent next time, so he could only turn to Yang Cheng.

"Twenty-five billion is doable, but Gao Peng must testify against Cao Zhihao."

Yang Cheng agreed to offer more money, but it couldn’t be for nothing.

People in Zhonghai’s business circle all knew the recent closeness between the Cao Family and the Gao Family. Cao Zhihao and Gao Peng were together every day. By having him testify and provide evidence, Cao Zhihao would undoubtedly be arrested for investigation.

"Brother Cen, I can’t. Cao Zhihao will surely kill me!"

Gao Peng quickly refused, his face turning pale with fear.

"What are you afraid of? I’ll go with you. After you report it, you and your dad can hide. By then, the Cao Family will be too busy to deal with you."

As soon as Yang Cheng finished, Gao Liang spoke up, "As long as you can guarantee Gao Peng’s safety, then it’s a deal!"

"No problem, from now on he stays by my side. I don’t believe anyone can kill him right under my nose. As for your Gao Family, find a safe place to hide."

Finally achieving his goal, Yang Cheng’s lips curled into a smile.

"One last thing, is Kong Jingshan really not dead?"

Gao Liang curiously asked. He heard about this issue from Gao Peng on the phone and remained skeptical.

Previously, he received news that Kong Jingshan was poisoned by Kong Lingchuan, and many people in the hospital saw it. He suspected Yang Cheng deliberately said Kong Jingshan was alive to intimidate him.

"He is, but you won’t see him for a while; he’s already left Zhonghai."

Yang Cheng finished speaking and hung up the phone with a snap.

He stood up and told Gao Peng, "Let’s go, I’ll take you to the police station now. I bet things will be lively there at this time."

Gao Peng felt very apprehensive, but he obediently got in the car.

Before long, they returned, and Gao Peng, looking exhausted, quickly went into the Kong Family guest room to rest.

Kong Lingwen came over softly and asked, "How did it go? Was Cao Zhihao arrested?"

"The police station sent people to act, but whether they caught him or not is still unclear. Maybe he’s already fled. If he did, it proves he’s guilty."

Yang Cheng chuckled lightly, then placed a hand on Kong Lingwen’s shoulder, blowing a breath by her ear.

"What are you doing!"

Kong Lingwen’s cheeks flushed as she teased.

"I’ve been running around for you all day today, nearly exhausting myself, and I’m hurt. Aren’t you going to reward me a bit?"

Yang Cheng raised an eyebrow, looking at her intently.

"Are you sure you still have energy?"

Kong Lingwen wasn’t doubting his ability, she was just concerned about whether he’d recovered from his injury.

The next second, Yang Cheng suddenly picked her up horizontally and strode into the bedroom.

"Ah! Put me down quickly, watch out for your shoulder injury!"

Kong Lingwen exclaimed anxiously, not daring to struggle for fear of tearing his wound.
