So Pure, So Flirtatious Chapter 1524 - Ruthless Brother Yang/ The Abandoned Chen Zhiye

Chapter 1823: Ruthless Brother Yang

Guo Jianchao had learned a lot. He had already heard beforehand about how strong and capable Yang Ming was from Bao Sanli and Hou Zhenhan. However, today’s matter truly shocked him.

He now knew what being capable meant. The difference was vast compared to those that were merely doing well. With just a few words, Yang Ming was able to take over the management rights for all the Douglas Vast Hotels in China, which was under the world-cla.s.s hotel franchise family, the Douglas Family. No ordinary person could do this.

Although Guo Jianchao didn’t know how Yang Ming was able to do it, he had done it. The truth was placed right in front of him, and Guo Jianchao could not doubt it anymore. Even the overbearing Chen Zhiye had been instantly abandoned by Caique.

“Brother Yang, you were too cool just now! Even that Caique became so obedient!” Guo Jianchao said satisfiedly. Guo Jianchao had a lot of pent up anger from the Douglas Vast Hotel’s pressure over the past few days. Coincidentally, Yang Ming and Bao Sanli had not taken any action, so Guo Jianchao could only be angry. He could not fight back. In addition, Chen Zhiye’s prideful att.i.tude and wanting to purchase the hotel had only further angered him.

Today, his anger had finally been released. It wasn’t released in an upset manner, but in a satisfying one. Guo Jianchao’s blood boiled when he thought back to how obedient Caique was, how Caique abandoned Chen Zhiye, and how he had Chen Zhiye thrown into the storeroom.

Brother Yang is so dope!

“They asked for it. It can’t be helped.” Yang Ming shrugged. “Originally, I didn’t want to do anything to them. It’s their fault for being so arrogant. If they had stuck to legal methods, I wouldn’t have done anything to them, and wouldn’t have had the time to care about them. However, they were planning to use this to force me to leave Chen Mengyan. Heh…”

Guo Jianchao shook his head. Chen Mengyuan was Yang Ming’s official girlfriend. Previously, even though Sun Jie had nothing much to do with Yang Ming, he was almost beaten to death. It was apparent what would happen if Chen Mengyan was the one affected.

Because of this, Caique had to hand over all the Douglas Vast Hotels in China as he had helped Chen Zhiye show off. The price Caique paid had exceeded his expectations.

If Caique knew that this was how much he needed to pay for attempting to show off, he would never do so. Sadly, there was no way he could know of it beforehand.

“Brother Yang, why did Caique suddenly change his mind?” Guo Jianchao was very curious about this matter. He hesitated a few times about whether to ask Yang Ming, but was embarra.s.sed to bring it up. After thinking about it for so long, he couldn’t hold it in anymore.

“Hehe, you’re talking about Caique? His family is called the Douglas Family,” said Yang Ming while smiling.

“I know that. But, how is this matter related to the Douglas Family?” Guo Jianchao asked.

“The Douglas Family’s first-in-line successor was killed by me because he hara.s.sed my woman.” Yang Ming did not hide it from Guo Jianchao. Guo Jianchao was considered as his loyal underling, and had been under him for a long time. “His grandfather tried to help him to show off, so I destroyed the grandfather’s whole family.”

“Ah!” Guo Jianchao’s jaw dropped in shock after hearing Yang Ming’s words.

Guo Jianchao had already researched the Douglas Family for a long time. Although Yang Ming and Bao Sanli had no reaction, Guo Jianchao had viewed the Douglas Family as his opponent.

He was very clear about Douglas Family’s property and nature, and knew how big of a family they were. However, when he was collecting information, he had come across a foreign gossip forum. It was talking about how the Douglas Family’s first-in-line successor Goode Douglas had offended a ruthless person, and paid with his life. Even Goode’s grandfather’s family, the Lancer Family, was annihilated with him.

At that time, Guo Jianchao was thinking, This ruthless guy is too ruthless. If only I could befriend him. If I just asked him to warn Caique, Caique would definitely back off, not target my Song Jiang International Hotel anymore.

However, Guo Jianchao felt that this was just wishful thinking, and was just something he imagined during his free time. It could never happen.

After seeing the gossip, Guo Jianchao was curious and researched the Lancer Family. Originally, Guo Jianchao thought that the Lancer Family was just a normal small family, which caused it to be annihilated. If it was as big as the Douglas Family, it would be impossible to annihilate the whole family no matter how strong the ruthless person was.

After a quick search, Guo Jianchao was extremely shocked. The Lancer Family… It wasn’t some small family. Instead, it was one of Europe’s top families in the upper cla.s.s! It was insurmountably stronger than the Douglas Family.

Moreover, the Lancer Family was involved in the firearms business. Such a scary family was annihilated by a single person?

While Guo Jianchao was overwhelmed with mixed emotions, he did not really believe these rumors. Such a powerful family got annihilated? How can this be? Could they be joking?

After all, gossip was just gossip. No one knew if it was real or not. Guo Jianchao searched for official news, and found out that the Lancer Family had really disappeared. However, they were merely destroyed because of a big fire, and all of them were burned to death.

This could just be hiding the truth, or it might be real. As for the gossip on the forum, it might also be true, but some people that were feeling bored might have related it to the fire as a conspiracy theory.

Those that were involved in the incident were already dead. No one knew the truth.

When Guo Jianchao heard Yang Ming talking about this, he was dumbstruck. Are the rumors that I saw online real? And, is that ruthless man Brother Yang?

“Is it the Lancer Family?” Guo Jianchao asked while stuttering.

“Oh? How did you know?” Yang Ming was surprised after hearing Guo Jianchao’s answer, “I never told anyone about this before, did I?”

“Ugh…” Guo Jianchao felt his blood boiling for a moment. His admiration for Yang Ming was insurmountable and could not be described by words anymore. “Brother Yang, you’re too strong! Before this, I saw some gossip about this matter online. They said that a ruthless man had killed the Douglas Family’s first-in-line successor – Goode Douglas, and also annihilated Goode’s grandfather’s family, the Lancer Family. At that time, I thought, ‘This ruthless man is too powerful! If only I knew this man, I could just ask him to warn Caique, and he wouldn’t trouble me anymore… I never thought…”

“Oh? This matter has turned into gossip?” Yang Ming shook his head. He thought, This news should have been leaked by the b.u.t.terfly Family. They used this to warn those big families that had ill intentions towards them.

“That’s it! I understand! When Brother Yang told Caique how his brother had died just now, I was still confused, and didn’t relate them together!” Guo Jianchao came to a realization, “Now that I related you with the ruthless man, everything makes sense.”

“He crossed the line. Otherwise, I didn’t want to bring this matter up,” said Yang Ming. “Actually, Caique and Chen Zhiye are nothing in my eyes.”

“Naturally!” Guo Jianchao said happily, “I was wondering why Brother Yang didn’t really care about them. It’s because you thought that they were merely clowns, and didn’t hold them in high regard! It was only me that was anxious. Brother Yang had already planned ahead.”

“After we receive the hotel deed and land deed, changing the name and replanning everything should be a long process,” Yang Ming said while being deep in thought. “At that time, I might not be in Song Jiang. Jianchao, help Xiaolu settle this matter. You seem to be quite talented in hotel management.”

“Ah! Brother Yang, did you say that you’ll let me take care of the hotel?” Guo Jianchao was both surprised and happy after hearing Yang Ming’s words.

“Nonsense. Do you think I have the time to take care of stuff here?” Yang Ming scolded jokingly, “Just don’t mess things up.”

“Relax, Brother Yang. Leave it to me!” Guo Jianchao a.s.sured.

“You little kid. Continue tooting your own horn.” Yang Ming shook his head, “You seem to be quite excited. Not upset anymore?”

“Hehe… Seems like I was a little too narrow-minded last time. I lacked foresight.” Guo Jianchao was laughing at himself, “If I had known about this earlier, I wouldn’t have been angry at Chen Zhiye. I would have just treated him as entertainment. That way, I would also have something to laugh at.”

Chapter 1824: The Abandoned Chen Zhiye

“Entertainment?” Yang Ming shrugged, “You really know how to describe it.”

“Haha!” Guo Jianchao laughed, “Brother Yang, you didn’t know how shocked and surprised Chen Zhiye was when I carried him over to the staff preparation room. It was too satisfying! He still might not understand why Caique abandoned him.”

“If his family’s annihilation and his death were on the line, Caique would definitely abandon Chen Zhiye. There was no doubt about it,” said Yang Ming as he smiled.

Yang Ming was right. When the safety of Caique’s life and his family was threatened, he chose to abandon Chen Zhiye.

Caique’s bodyguard quickly entered the meeting room. He asked Caique respectfully, “Family Master, do you need me to do anything?”

“I don’t wish to see those two people in the preparation room anymore. You know what to do, right?” said Caique as he pointed at the staff preparation room nearby.

“I understand, Family Master. Don’t worry. Leave this to me.” The bodyguard nodded solemnly. This was the first huge task that the Family Master had given him ever since taking office. The bodyguard would naturally do it with maximum effort. Only with this could he gain the Family Master’s approval.

The bodyguard didn’t want his job to be gone after working for just a while. After all, although it was dangerous to work directly under the Family Master, the benefits were huge. There were many people that aimed for this position. The bodyguard didn’t wish for any troubles to happen.

“En,” Caique nodded. He stood up, turned around and left the meeting room. He believed that the bodyguard had understood his intention.

Caique intended to kill both Chen Zhiye and Chen Xiaolong, and let them disappear from the world forever. Caique didn’t feel that this was anything inappropriate. After all, the Douglas Family originated from the underworld in Ello Town. It was normal for the family to kill off some people.

Although this was not Ello Town, Caique wasn’t worried about anything. He was confident that his bodyguard would not leave any traces when settling this matter.

After Caique left, the bodyguard walked towards the staff preparation room and kicked the door open. He told Chen Zhiye and Chen Xiaolong inside whose faces were filled with fear, “Come out. I’ll bring you both to a good place.”

“No! You can’t do this! I want to see Caique! Where is Caique!” Chen Zhiye heard the conversation between Caique and the bodyguard in the conference room outside. He didn’t believe that Caique would abandon him just like that. He was unwilling to believe it.

He knew that if the bodyguard brought him outside, he would never return. Because of this, he wanted to find Caique and talk to him face-to-face.

“The family master won’t see you,” the bodyguard said coldly. “Don’t force me to take action.”

“No! I have followed the Family Master through life and death! I have been working under him loyally for so many years! He can’t abandon me just like that!” Chen Zhiye howled, “I have to see Caique! I have to ask him if he has any kindness left in him!”

Caique didn’t actually go very far away. He was standing near the conference room, so he heard Chen Zhiye’s howls very clearly. However, he did not go in. He knew how to be decisive.

It was hard for Caique to make this choice as well. He was reluctant to let Chen Zhiye die just like that. After all, Chen Zhiye had been following him ever since he was trying to make a living. To give him up just like that…

However, everything that obstructed the family’s benefits had to be removed! Besides, if Chen Zhiye didn’t die, Caique would have to instead. Caique wasn’t a fool.

Hmph. If you didn’t convince me to go against Yang Ming for your son, would I come to Song Jiang? Would I fall into this situation? If it wasn’t for you, would I lose all the Douglas Vast Hotels in China? Caique he didn’t feel that bad anymore when he thought of this. Chen Zhiye asked for it himself. If it wasn’t for him, I would not end up in this state. I would still be the Family Master in Europe, and would be able to command anyone anytime I want every day, which is pretty satisfying.

As Caique thought of this, he started to move his legs. He quickly left the meeting room and went downstairs. He still had many things to do. For example, he had to calculate the numbers of Douglas Vast Hotels in China and it’s a.s.sets.

Although he was the Family Master, he still needed to talk to the family’s elders. Caique dialed the elder’s telephone again.

“Family Master Caique, why are you calling again? Do you still have any other problems?” The elder was pondering why Caique had called him again in such a short time.

“Elder, please tell someone to collect data about the locations and a.s.set’s framework of all the Douglas Vast Hotels in China,” said Caique.

“Oh? Why do you suddenly want to calculate this data?” The elder asked curiously.

“I’m preparing to give away all the Douglas Vast Hotels in China,” said Caique.

“What… Give away?” The elder was stunned. I didn’t hear wrongly, right? Caique wants to give away all the Douglas Vast Hotel in China? What kind of joke is this? That’s a.s.sets worth tens of billions of yuan!

“That’s right, give it away,” Caique said helplessly. “I have to give it away. I just received two million yuan out of courtesy. However, I’m not sure if we can receive it.”

“Caique, are you crazy? You want to give the family’s a.s.sets away? What are you thinking? Why is a family master helping others by bringing loss to the family?” The elder was angry. According to seniority, he was Caique’s uncle, so he could scold Caique.

“Elder… I have no choice. If I don’t give it away, I will be done for. Our Douglas Family will also be done for…” Caique wasn’t prepared to tell anyone about him trying to support Chen Zhiye to show off. He just explained with a vague sentence. If not, this would be his responsibility. He didn’t want to lose his family master position just like that.

“Done for? Caique, what are you talking about? Who are you giving it to? Who dares to be so arrogant, and can bring doom to our Douglas Family?” The elder was angry after hearing this. What kind of family is the Douglas Family? Who dares to be so arrogant?

“Yang Ming …” said Caique as he sighed.

“…” The elder became silent after hearing Yang Ming’s name.

Caique did not rush him. He just allowed the elder to slowly absorb the knowledge. When he knew that Yang Ming was the ruthless person, he was also shocked for a long time.

“Caique, you’re saying that Yang Ming wants all of our hotels in China?” The elder finally spoke. In contrast to his arrogant tone just now, he started to speak carefully.

“Yes… It’s him… This is the reason why I made a phone call to you just now.” Caique just said that Yang Ming wanted it, but did not specify the reason. After all, everyone he brought here were underlings he could trust. He wasn’t afraid that the family would get wind of it when he returned.

“Alright, I’ll find someone to find all the locations of the Douglas Vast Hotels in China and calculate its a.s.sets. I’ll give you a reply as soon as possible.” The elder immediately agreed when he heard that Yang Ming wanted them.

The elder was very clear who Yang Ming was. He believed that if Yang Ming wanted to eliminate the Douglas Family, he would only need a few minutes. The Lancer Family was an example.

“Alright. Call me as soon as possible,” said Caique.

After hanging up the phone, Caique let out a sigh of relief. Luckily, the elder did not ask why Yang Ming wanted the hotels. Otherwise, he would need some time to explain it.

However, he didn’t know why the elder didn’t even ask the reason behind it. Yang Ming didn’t need a reason if he wanted all the Douglas Vast Hotels in China. It could just be a whim, or he might have planned it beforehand. But the end result was that Yang Ming still wanted it. Even if they didn’t want to, they had to give it away.

Caique had never personally experienced how scary Yang Ming was. However, the elder knew, which was why he was so afraid.

After entering the elevator, Caique could not hear Chen Zhiye’s screams anymore. This is something he started. Just let him take responsibility for it.
