The evil forces roaming the heavens

Chapter 1648 Zhang Cheng: "He's even more shameless than me!"

Amidst the dazzling night view, people are raising their glasses and cheering.
After Lin Yaodong finalized the acquisition deal, Zhang Cheng nodded appreciatively and said, "Well done!"

"It's all thanks to Brother Cheng's care. Otherwise, we brothers would not be where we are today if we came from a small village!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng with a broad smile, Lin Yaodong couldn't help but feel happy.
The luckiest thing in his life was meeting Zhang Cheng, who was also from the same hometown.
"How's the situation with Hutchison Whampoa? Do they have enough funds?"

Turning to Lin Yaodong, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but ask,
"There's no problem with funding, since the money you transferred from overseas is enough! However, Cheung Kong Holdings is also raising funds, so we'll be fighting for a long time!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Lin Yaodong's face was full of seriousness.

"Brother Cheng, in this situation, isn't it a bit risky for us to wage a protracted war against Cheung Kong Holdings?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Lin Zonghui also became serious.
With the stock market crashing, people are now paying more attention to cash flow.
Spending four or five billion to acquire Hutchison Whampoa is arguably a fatal blow to the development of the Pottinger Group.
Hearing Lin Zonghui's words, Zhang Cheng did not reprimand him, but smiled and said, "As a shipyard, our group not only needs ports, but also overseas channels. We need to walk on two legs to be stable. Hutchison Whampoa is our most important backer. Without it, even if we go beyond Hong Kong Island, it will be difficult for us to establish a presence in the world."

“We are spending billions, even tens of billions, to fight this war, not for ourselves, but for the future, so that we, as a group of people, will not be without a foothold in overseas ports. Do you understand?”

Looking at Lin Zonghui, Zhang Cheng raised his wine glass and offered it to him.
Upon hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Lin Zonghui remained silent for a moment before saying, "I'm sorry, Brother Cheng, I didn't think that far ahead!"

"Who can predict the future? But if we don't act now, we'll be choked and cursed in the future!"

As he sipped his wine, Zhang Cheng's eyes sharpened.

Because who could have imagined that decades later, the ports owned by Hutchison Whampoa would be packaged and sold to BlackRock by Li Xiangban?

It's important to understand that this is no longer an ordinary "international transaction"; it's handing over the lifeline of maritime transport to someone else!
Rather than waiting until the future, when this bastard makes a fortune and still acts like a coward, it's better to break his backbone now.

Isn't he a business genius? Well, so is this Zhang! He's just a genius at "business warfare"!
Zhang Cheng: Hutchison Whampoa Grand Stage, come if you dare!

After the brief meeting, everyone returned home.
Sitting in the Cadillac, Zhang Cheng rubbed his temples and said, "These are truly turbulent times!"

However, just as Zhang Cheng finished speaking, flashing lights suddenly appeared ahead.

Opening the car window, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but ask, "Who is it? Why aren't you asleep in the middle of the night?"

"Hello, please show your identification!"

Upon approaching Zhang Cheng, the other party immediately took out measuring instruments and began to speak.
Looking at him with annoyance, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but say, "Hey, don't you recognize me? I'm..."

But just after he finished speaking, Zhang Cheng suddenly pulled open the car door and slammed it into him.
"Oh!"

Gunshots rang out, and the enemy, not expecting Zhang Cheng to be so vigilant, immediately shouted, "We've been spotted!"

"Bang bang bang!"

Intense gunfire erupted, and Zhang Cheng quickly lowered his body, saying, "Puniam, trying your luck isn't working, so you're going for a direct assault now, right?"

Zhang Cheng drew his Glock 17 with a backhand motion and pulled the trigger repeatedly.
However, after several "imposters" were killed, Zhang Cheng jumped out of the car and disappeared into the jungle.
Just as the people behind him caught up, Zhang Cheng hid behind a tree, slapped himself, and said, "Wait, why the hell am I running? I'm a good fighter, okay!"

When Zhang Cheng suddenly remembered that he didn't eat beef, he turned and walked out of the woods.
Staring at Zhang Cheng in astonishment, the assassins were initially taken aback, then quickly raised their guns.

Before they could even aim, Zhang Cheng preemptively raised the Glock 17.

"Bang bang bang!"

As the bullets whistled through the air, the assassins were all shot between the eyebrows and fell to the ground.
Stunned by what they saw, the remaining assassins were filled with fear, for they never imagined that their target would be so terrifying.

"Hey, if your hand is shaking, put the gun down! You could easily hurt yourself!"

Looking at the young assassin before him, Zhang Cheng smiled and gestured.
Just as he was about to pull the trigger, Zhang Cheng aimed directly at his wrist and knee and fired.
"Bang bang bang!"

Four shots rang out in quick succession, and the opponent collapsed to the ground.
Zhang Cheng stepped forward, squatted down in front of him, and began to examine him.

However, the moment Zhang Cheng turned his wrist over, he couldn't help but frown and ask, "Malay?"

Having come through the era of the Four Great Detectives, Zhang Cheng was naturally familiar with the hallmarks of certain "groups."

For example, the "Brave Flower" logo and the headhunter logo—without a doubt, they're from Malaysia!
If you don't understand and still get a tattoo without permission, then I'm sorry, but you'd better pray for good luck when you're out and about!
"Why kill me?"

Grabbing the other person's hair, Zhang Cheng lifted their head up, his face icy cold.
"I won't tell you!"

The young man glared angrily at Zhang Cheng, a fierce expression on his face.

"Will you tell me after I've tormented you, or will I 'ask' you myself after I've tormented you?"

Looking at the young man with a broad smile, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

Because of his ability to "capture souls and extract thoughts," Zhang Cheng rarely tortures people anymore. However, he feels it's unfair. After all, if the other party reveals information without being tortured, wouldn't that prove that his methods are inadequate?
Zhang Cheng: My master said that cooking starts with being a good person, so you must be a good person!

Li Yicong: There's absolutely no need for that!

The young man stared wide-eyed, not understanding what Zhang Cheng meant, but in the next second, he felt as if his entire body was being torn apart.
Purple-black lightning flashed between his fingertips as Zhang Cheng murmured, "Heart-piercing and bone-splitting!"

"what!"

A piercing scream echoed through the sky; the young man felt as if his very soul had been shattered into pieces.
But while Zhang Cheng was repeatedly torturing the other person, he discovered that the other person had completely lost their mind.

Shrugging as he stood up, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but click his tongue and say, "The students in Azkaban are definitely more fun; at least they won't go silent so quickly!"

"Jiawen Group, Cheng Yiyan?"

Squinting, Zhang Cheng frowned, because he couldn't understand why the other party wanted to target him.
However, Lin Yaodong, who was driving up from behind, saw this scene and immediately asked in astonishment, "Brother Cheng, are you alright?"

"I'm fine!"

Looking at Lin Yaodong, Zhang Cheng said meaningfully, "Could it be that you're not here to kill me, but to kill him?"

"Damn it, that bastard is even more shameless than me!"

Upon realizing the key points, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but burst into a tirade of curses.
He thought he was being very moral, but he never expected Cheng Yiyan to play this game with him!
"Brother Cheng, what's going on?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng with curiosity, Lin Yaodong became puzzled.
"I'm so furious right now!"

Speaking angrily, Zhang Cheng hadn't expected that Cheng Yiyan would choose to eliminate Lin Yaodong in order to delay the acquisition.
Is this any different from him bombing the HSBC vault to stop Sir Michael Sandberg from helping Lee Banana?

Shen Bi: Is there a difference?
Zhang Cheng: I can disregard martial ethics, but you can't disregard them!
