Chapter 743 - 719:
The man didn’t take the elevator but went straight up the stairs all the way to the tenth floor, and then knocked on the door of the room. A dull voice came from inside the room: "Come in!"
The man pushed the door open and said, "Young Master, the deed has been done!"
"Hm, well done. Xu Dong was indeed more of a liability than a benefit!" Zhang Bufen was furious. He had wanted to cause some trouble for Ye Chen. After all, Ye Chen had just returned, and had conveniently crossed paths with him, so he decided to put off his plans against the Fierce Tiger Gang and target Ye Chen instead. However, he didn’t expect to end up failing.
The Chinese are best at infighting, and there was a precedent since the Late Qing Government. Back then, the Yihe Sect’s army was extinguished through such internal strife by Empress Dowager Cixi. Later during the Anti-Japanese War, the Nationalist Government adopted the policy of "ensuring internal stability before dealing with external threats" to turn and attack the Communist Party, which led to heavy losses for the Communist Party. The outcome of internal strife was mutual destruction, only for others to reap the benefits.
"Young Master, what should we do next?" The man asked, looking puzzled at Zhang Bufen.
"Next..." Zhang Bufen squinted, exhibiting a sense of hubris, like a construction worker who suddenly won five million dollars, bought a BMW, then a Mercedes, and drove them recklessly through red lights. When the traffic police caught him and asked why he was doing it, he actually told them if he didn’t do it, how would others know he had money?
Now, Zhang Bufen was somewhat similar. He had a powerful godfather and was obsessed with revenge. He had always been humiliated by Ye Chen, often getting beaten up by him. But now, he was someone with status and position and felt he needed to regain some face, right?
Zhang Bufen coldly laughed and said, "If we can’t succeed in the dark, we’ll do it openly. We’ll visit Ye Chen at Tianya Group tomorrow!"
"Alright!" The man didn’t ask why, and simply nodded in agreement. As a servant, he clearly understood what should be asked and what should not. Especially as a henchman for Zhang Bufen, caution was paramount.
The next day.
Everything at Tianya Group had returned to normal. The previous day’s disturbance had become gossip for both the employees of Tianya Group and the citizens of Jianghuai City, and the matter involving Lin Ziwen gradually faded from people’s minds. The focus of the audience and the social media pundits was easy to manipulate: today’s television media did it well. Once something unfavorable happened, they would immediately introduce another event to shift people’s focus.
Just like the ’My father is Li Gang’ incident, not long after it occurred, Li Gang quickly used his influence to try to dominate the media by diverting attention with other matters in an attempt to cover up his son’s crimes. Indeed, Mr. Li Gang succeeded: not only was he unaffected by the incident, but he was also promoted from a deputy director to a director. Once again, congratulations to Mr. Li Gang for his strategic use of The Art of War by Sun Tzu.
