After the divorce, he went on a motorcycle trip, and his ex-wife and daughter were filled with regre

Quiet.

The private room fell into a deathly silence.

Zhou Lianqiang stared blankly at Jiang Ye, his chest heaving violently, his brain racing.

Ten percent of the shares are dry stock!

Overseas deep-water port projects!

This wasn't just a gift of wealth; it was practically a gift that gave Zhou Lianqiang his life and a completely new leap in social class!

Compared to this young man, his territories and underlings, which he was so proud of, seemed as ridiculous as toys in a child's game!

They treat money like dirt; a project they casually throw out could provide Zhou Lianqiang with enough to last several lifetimes!

Zhou Lianqiang was completely convinced!

I was completely impressed by Jiang Ye's terrifying background, calm and collected killing aura, and far-sighted vision!

"thump!"

Zhou Lianqiang pushed the chair away forcefully, knelt on one knee, clasped his hands together, and performed the most solemn Jianghu salute to Jiang Ye!

"Master Jiang!"

Zhou Lianqiang's eyes were red-rimmed, and his voice was loud and clear.

"It was I, Zhou Lianqiang, who was blind and didn't recognize your greatness! I was very rude just now, please forgive me, Mr. Jiang!"

"From this day forward, my life, Zhou Lianqiang's life, belongs to you, Master Jiang!"

"Wherever you point, I'll strike! Anyone who dares to cross you, Master Jiang, I, Zhou Lianqiang, will be the first to chop them to pieces!"

Zhou Lianqiang suddenly stood up, grabbed another unopened bottle of Moutai on the table, and bit the cap open with his teeth.

He bit his finger and dripped a few drops of blood into the wine bottle.

Then, he tilted his head back and gulped down most of the bottle of strong liquor mixed with blood in one go!

"Master Jiang! We're sworn brothers! From now on, you're my elder brother!"

Zhou Lianqiang wiped the wine stains from the corner of his mouth, turned to look at his stunned underlings behind him, and roared:

"What the hell are you all standing there for! Call him Master Jiang!"

A dozen or so fierce-looking, burly men bent over in unison, their voices shaking the roof tiles:

"Hello, Mr. Jiang!!!"

Jiang Ye nodded in satisfaction as he looked at Zhou Lianqiang's heroic and spirited demeanor.

He stood up, took the bottle from Zhou Lianqiang's hand, and took a big gulp.

"Okay, Boss Zhou, that's great."

Jiang Ye put down the wine bottle, his eyes instantly turning cold and sharp.

"I want to see the results tonight."

"Don't worry, Mr. Jiang!"

Zhou Lianqiang's face was full of murderous intent as he clenched his fists tightly.

"If even a single fly dares to buzz around the outskirts of Cloud Top Town before dawn, I, Zhou Lianqiang, will offer my head in resignation!"

……

It was 2 a.m.

The urban village on the outskirts of Yunding Town in the eastern suburbs of Hanzhou.

Several dilapidated dump trucks were parked haphazardly at the entrance to the construction access road.

A dozen or so thugs with dyed yellow hair and a slovenly appearance were gathered around a fire, drinking, bragging, and chatting.

They are the local bullies who seize land and maliciously obstruct construction.

"Brother, this trick of ours really works! Kunlun Capital is so rich. As long as we block this door, they'll have to obediently hand over ten times the demolition compensation sooner or later!" A blond-haired man said drunkenly.

The leader of the thugs spat out a thick wad of phlegm with smug satisfaction.

"That's right! Even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake! In our territory, no matter what kind of capitalist tycoon they are, they all have to bow down to us!"

While these people were dreaming of getting rich...

"Boom—!"

A deafening roar of engines suddenly came from the darkness in the distance!

The gang leader paused for a moment, then turned to look.

Suddenly, dozens of blinding car headlights lit up at the end of the dark street!

Thirty black Jinbei vans lined up in a long queue, speeding menacingly toward the construction site!

With a series of ear-piercing screeching brakes, thirty vans completely surrounded the local thugs!

The car doors were all flung open with a loud bang.

More than two hundred burly men wearing black vests and carrying steel pipes and baseball bats surged down like a tide!

The group of men all had fierce expressions and exuded a strong aura of killing intent. In an instant, they surrounded the dozen or so thugs.

The gang leader was so frightened that he dropped the bottle in his hand and his legs trembled wildly.

The crowd parted to form a single passage.

Zhou Lianqiang, bald and scarred, walked out carrying a heavy galvanized steel pipe, his face full of hostility.

The moment the gang leader saw Zhou Lianqiang, he was so terrified that he immediately knelt down on the ground with a thud.

"Qiang...Brother Qiang?! You...you came in person?"

The gang leader's voice was trembling, and his crotch was instantly soaked.

A gangster of Zhou Lianqiang's caliber is someone that ordinary thugs like them wouldn't even have the right to meet!

Zhou Lianqiang walked up to the gang leader, and without saying a word, swung the steel pipe in his hand and smashed it hard against the dump truck next to him!

"Bang!"

The car window shattered instantly!

"Are you all blind?! You dare to block Jiang Ye's construction site?!"

Zhou Lianqiang's eyes widened in anger, and he kicked the gang leader to the ground, pressing his leather shoe firmly against his face.

"I'm putting my words on the line today!"

"You have ten minutes to move all these junk cars! And vacate all the houses you've taken over!"

"If there's still a single brick blocking the road in ten minutes, I'll stuff all of you scum into a cement mixer to build the foundation!"

"Smash it!"

With a roar from Zhou Lianqiang, more than two hundred burly men in black pounced on them like wolves and tigers.

Those local bullies who usually bully the weak and fear the strong were now so terrified when faced with a real underworld boss that they didn't dare utter a sound. They scrambled to move their cars and carry their belongings, crying and screaming for their parents.

Overnight.

Autumn winds sweep away fallen leaves!

Those holdouts, roadblocks, and thugs who had been troubling Kunlun Capital for a whole week were swept away completely by Zhou Lianqiang's absolute violence, leaving not even a weed behind!

……

The next morning.

Sunlight streamed onto the glass curtain wall of the Kunlun Capital headquarters building.

In the CEO's office.

Lei Heng burst in, carrying a report.

"Boss! That's amazing! Absolutely amazing!"

"This morning, all the roadblocks around Genting Town were cleared! Those holdouts who were demanding exorbitant prices moved out overnight, even accepting only the lowest market value for compensation!"

"Now, our large construction machinery has fully arrived on site, and the road widening project has officially commenced across the board, ensuring unimpeded traffic!"

Jiang Ye sat in the boss's chair, picked up his coffee and took a sip.

Looking at the rising sun outside the window, Jiang Ye's lips curled into a satisfied, cold smile.

Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures.

Ultimately, the fate of Hanzhou was still under Jiang Ye's control.
