Chapter 685: Chapter 432: Unequal Information Gap! (Part 2)
It’s definitely related to something in the business!
Why am I so sure?
First, you need to understand two things.
One, aimless flattery is unrealistic. Even for a sycophant pursuing a goddess, the aim is to end up in bed.
Why does Wang Chenghua want to flatter Zhuge Rong? Because he wants to make money!
Two, giving money is not something you do casually!
Yes, most people think that if you want to accomplish something, or build a good relationship with someone, you just need to give money.
In reality, that’s not the case.
It’s not that giving money makes your relationship good; you need to have a strong enough relationship first to give the money!
Otherwise, no one would dare accept money from a stranger!
Even Zhuge Rong is no exception.
So...
Giving 8 million indicates that Wang Chenghua’s relationship with Zhuge Rong is well-established.
Therefore, the subsequent investment of 40 million... is highly likely related to making money, and the way Zhuge Rong suggests making money... Xu Liang doesn’t need to guess, he knows it’s no good!
And that’s indeed the case.
Xu Liang said, "I want a share in the ferry company!"
As soon as those words fell.
Inside the villa.
Zhuge Rong suddenly froze.
His originally angry mood gradually dissipated.
Soon after, he was instantly chilled, staring at the phone, looking at it for a long time, his eyes twitching.
"You madman!"
Zhuge Rong frowned.
About the ferry company...
Any normal person who knows the real situation inside would definitely stay away, as far away as possible!
Instead, the other party...
The other party knows about the ferry company’s issues, yet still chooses to join?
"Ha, who would’ve thought Lawyer Xu is just like me!"
Zhuge Rong repeated it once again, this time his tone had lost much of its anger.
Running into such a madman... it seems like bad luck for him.
"Fine."
Zhuge Rong took a deep breath, the wariness in his eyes gradually disappearing.
"About the ferry... Wang Chenghua will contact you then."
If the ferry company’s issue gets exposed, the consequences would be unimaginable. Although he didn’t manage it directly, he can’t be separated from the reasons it came into existence.
If Xu Liang passes the information to the police, everyone would be in deep trouble!
But... if the other party chooses to join...
Then things would be easier.
...
Inside the hospital.
"Hopefully Mr. Zhu will keep his promise."
Xu Liang said a few things into the phone, then voluntarily hung up.
By his side, Yang Ruoxi couldn’t help but ask:
"About that ferry company... do you know the truth?"
Looking at the other party’s tone...
Why does Zhuge Rong seem like Xu Liang knows everything?
"If I knew, I would’ve gone to the police long ago."
Xu Liang waved his hand in denial.
If he knew the truth of the case, why would he need to play this charade?
He would’ve passed the information to Wang Hai and had the other party arrested directly!
It’s just that...
"Why does he react so strongly when the ferry is mentioned?"
On the hospital bed.
Su Yu, wearing hospital clothes, suddenly posed a question.
The previous conversation was all conducted via speakerphone, so Su Yu’s question made the two slightly pause.
Zhuge Rong’s reaction was twice exhibiting extreme response.
The first time.
Was when he revealed all of the other’s resume, during the ’box attack’.
This point, any individual would have an immediate response, so it’s understandable, let alone Zhuge Rong.
As for the second time...
It was when the International Cross Ferry Company was mentioned... the other party reacted as though a fatal weak point was touched!
"This company... is even harder for him to accept than his identity being exposed?"
Yang Ruoxi frowned, folded her arms in confusion.
Moreover.
As soon as Xu Liang expressed intent to join the ferry company... the attitude of the other party changed dramatically, truly unfathomable.
"Perhaps... the issues with the ferry company are more severe than his identity issues."
Xu Liang suddenly frowned, offering a whole new perspective.
The reason Zhuge Rong changed his identity was mainly due to a special time point before ’84.
He was very likely sentenced to death.
But again...
The death penalty during that time period is completely different from the death penalty in 2005!
Even if Zhuge Rong was sentenced to death back then, with the current legal environment... it probably only amounted to seven or eight years.
Even if he were exposed and caught, he would be tried under the current judicial environment.
So.
"For him, even if his identity is exposed, he would at most be sentenced to a few years in prison."
"The serious part of his case is... someone altered his identity and forcibly sent him away."
Xu Liang thoughtfully said.
If Zhuge Rong were captured, the authorities wouldn’t focus on him.
They would focus on the act itself, ’someone saved him after the official verdict’.
So, Zhuge Rong probably won’t die.
The ferry company’s reaction can only be explained as...
"This matter is more important than identity, and very likely involves killing him!"
Xu Liang suddenly thought of something.
Immediately, countless thoughts in his mind were sorted out at this moment, feeling exhilarated, he couldn’t help but blurt out:
"I know!"
"August 24th, Zhuge Rong and Wang Chenghua, took Zhao Jie and disappeared."
"The reason they vanished is likely related to the so-called ’International Cross Ferry Company’!"
"Then, on October 1st, an incident occurred, Zhao Jie appeared severely injured.... "
The injury Zhao Jie sustained would be enough to sentence someone to death!
Combined with Zhuge Rong’s attitude towards the ferry company...
"Are you saying..."
Yang Ruoxi hesitated alongside, speaking with her tone gradually filled with surprise.
"This ferry company has serious issues!?"
Xu Liang nodded, his brow furrowing.
"That’s correct."
But problem is, what happened between Zhao Jie and the ferry company? Why did they want to harm Zhao Jie?
Why did Zhuge Rong and Wang Chenghua take Zhao Jie away?
All kinds of questions kept lingering in his mind.
Finally, Xu Liang’s eyes grew resolute.
"First, notify Uncle Wang privately, and then..."
It doesn’t matter what’s hidden at the International Cross Ferry Company, because... he’s going to ’join’ the ferry company, once inside, would he worry about not knowing anything?
"Wait for Wang Chenghua!" Xu Liang said.
...
...
Meanwhile.
"Trash!"
"Wang Chenghua, you trash"
"Are you brainless? Your financial reports have been stripped bare, how the hell are you doing business!?"
Inside the villa.
Zhuge Rong, while changing clothes and packing his luggage and identity information, was on the phone.
That’s right.
He was conversing with Wang Chenghua at the moment!
"President Zhe... I don’t know, I really don’t know what’s going on with this matter."
On the other end of the line, Wang Chenghua was sweating profusely, constantly explaining.
"But don’t worry, I’ll give you an explanation for this!"
While speaking, Wang Chenghua was indeed shocked to the bone.
He truly didn’t expect... from where exactly did Xu Liang find his angle of investigation!
He clearly only stayed at the company’s front desk for a few minutes.
Yet he knew about an 8 million donation...
"Explaining this matter is not urgent..."
Zhuge Rong took a deep breath, suppressing the anger of accountability, calming down, he spoke in a steady tone:
"The other party made a condition."
Condition? Made a condition?
Means... not planning to pursue? But wants to join them!?
Wang Chenghua paused, the next second, he suddenly felt a sigh of relief inside.
Indeed.
There are no people who completely resist temptation in this world.
Even someone like Xu Liang, widely discussed outside, finds it hard to resist greed when faced with Zhuge Rong.
However, Zhuge Rong’s next words instantly made him tense again.
"The condition is..."
"Involve in the International Cross Ferry Company issue." Zhuge Rong said.
Wang Chenghua froze, the next second, eyes widened, pupils constricted, an expression of shock appeared, a trace of fear flickered deep in his eyes.
"Rea... really?"
"President Zhu... you’re saying it’s real?"
About the ferry company...
He only wants to make money, if it weren’t for Zhuge Rong’s coercion, Wang Chenghua would firmly refuse to get involved.
But now, unexpectedly... someone knows about the issues inside yet still chooses to join?
Wang Chenghua, shocked, asked:
"President Zhu, are you sure he wants to be involved in the ferry company issue!?"
