  “You…” Luo Feng’s face was red with anger.

  Han Yutong was taken aback. She looked at Tang Hao in a daze.

  “President Tang, I…” She was about to speak.

  “Don’t say anything!” Tang Hao waved his hand. “I’ll settle this matter for you. You don’t have to worry!”

  Luo Feng’s face was vicious. “Don’t you know who I am, you son of a b*tch? I’m the Second Young Master of Luo Enterprises. Have you heard of Luo Enterprises before? I can crush your company like an ant,” he roared.

  “If you dare cross me, I’ll bankrupt you and that’ll be the end of you.”

  He roared as though he was a maniac.

  Tang Hao was unmoved. Instead, he looked mockingly and said coldly, “You’d like to bankrupt me? You can try that. I’d like to see what tricks you have up your sleeve.”

  Luo Feng became angrier. He pointed at Tang Hao and yelled, “Just you wait. I’ll get your company to shut down now!”

  Then, he took out his phone.

  Chapter 130 - Luo Feng’s Shock

  Luo Feng’s hands were trembling with anger as he took out the phone.

  He had never been so angry before. As the Second Young Master of Luo Enterprises, everyone had treated him with fear and respect.

  Now, he was being looked down upon by a country bumpkin.

  It was a humiliation of great proportions!

  “Just you wait. I’ll crush you!” Luo Feng muttered angrily as he dialed a number on his phone.

  “Hello? Director Sun? I’m Luo Feng. We’ve met before!” Luo Feng said.

  “Oh, it’s Young Master Luo!” A low voice was heard over the phone. It was Director Sun of the Industry and Commerce Bureau.

  Director Sun was all smiles. He sounded eager to please Luo Feng as he dared not be impudent against the Second Young Master of Luo Enterprises.

  “Director Sun, I’d like to ask for your help!” Luo Feng said.

  Director Sun laughed. “Say what you want, Young Master Luo,” he said.

  Luo Feng glanced at Tang Hao and smiled sinisterly. “I want you to investigate a company now, and shut it down as soon as you can.”

  Director Sun hesitated. “Well…”

  “Don’t worry, Director Sun, I won’t skimp on your reward if you can do what I say,” Luo Feng whispered into the phone.

  Director Sun smiled. “Alright, just say it! Which company is this?”

  “It’s here at Spring River Plaza. The company name is Haotian Health Products Development Co., Ltd.”

  “Oh, Haotian! No problem!” Director Sun said with a smile. Immediately after, he finally processed what he was told and nearly jumped out of his seat. “What? Haotian Co. Ltd.?”

  His face was pale in an instant and looked panicked. Cold sweat erupted from his forehead.

  How would he not know of Haotian Co. Ltd.? It was the company started by Tang Hao!

  If there was one person that should not be crossed in the entire Westridge District, that person would be none other than Tang Hao.

  He had heard of this Tang Hao multiple times before. Not only did he have a close relationship with Secretary Lin, but he had also heard that the district mayor’s fall from grace was related to him.

  Of course, those were only rumors, and Director Sun did not believe them all. However, he knew that Tang Hao was not a pushover as his appearance might suggest. Other than Secretary Lin, he had other powerful people backing him too.

  Now that Secretary Lin was promoted, he dared not cross him.

  ‘Dammit, this Young Master Luo. Is he courting trouble? If I send someone to shut Haotian Co. Ltd. down, I’ll be out of a job tomorrow,’ Director Sun cursed in his heart.

  Young Master Luo was a powerful figure, but the Luo family was in Provincial City and was very far away from Westridge District. They would not be able to touch him, so it was obvious who he should be siding with.

  Luo Feng was puzzled when he heard Director Sun’s exclamation. “What’s wrong, Director Sun?” He asked.

  Director Sun coughed and said, “Well… I’m sorry, Young Master Luo. I can’t help you with that!”

  Then, he hastily ended the call.

  Luo Feng stood there in a daze.

  What happened? Director Sun was eager to help him earlier, but he changed his stance all of a sudden. He even sounded panicked!

  ‘Something isn’t right! Isn’t this Haotian Co. Ltd. a little run-down company started by a country bumpkin without a background?’

  He stood stiffly on the spot for a long time with the phone in his hand. His face became redder as Tang Hao looked at him mockingly.

  “Coincidence! It must be just a coincidence!” He mumbled to make himself feel better.

  Meanwhile, Tang Hao laughed. “Are you done calling yet? I’m still waiting for you to bankrupt me!”

  “You…” Luo Feng’s lungs nearly exploded in anger. He pointed at Tang Hao and yelled, “Don’t be too cocky! Just you wait!”

  He then dialed another number on his phone.

  “Hello? Boss Chen? I’m Luo Feng. I’m here in Westridge District now. Do you know anyone from the Fire Department? I’d like to shut down a company.

  “The name is Haotian Co. Ltd. Right, that’s the name… Alright, I’ll wait!”

  Luo Feng’s face turned into glee as he spoke.

  He put the phone down and smirked at Tang Hao. “Let me tell you, you’re finished! Your factory will be shuttered soon! I’d like to see how long your company can last without a factory.”

  He felt incredibly satisfied.

  Soon, his phone started ringing.

  He smiled with glee and immediately answered the call. “How is it, Boss Chen? Is it done?”

  Then, his expression stiffened and he was dumbstruck.

  “How can that be, Boss Chen? What’s going on? Hello? Boss Chen!” Luo Feng screamed madly into the phone. His face was more vicious than ever.

  However, the call was already cut off.

  His body was trembling and his face was contorted. He did not understand how things had come to be that way.

  ‘Isn’t that just a small, run-down company? Why are the people from the Industry and Commerce Bureau and the Fire Department so afraid when they hear its name?’

  “It must be just a coincidence!” He mumbled. Unsatisfied, he dialed yet another number on his phone.

  “Hello, Boss Ma! I’m Luo Feng! I want you to wreck a company for me, its name is Haotian… Right, that’s it! Hello? Boss Ma? Why did you hang up on me?”

  Luo Feng was once again dumbfounded.

  “Impossible! This is impossible!”

  He could not imagine the small, run-down company was so intimidating to many.

  “Hello, Boss Qian? I’m Luo Feng. I’d like to ask you for help to wreck a company. The name is Haotian. Hey, Boss Qian! Don’t hang up on me!”

  “…”

  The same result happened over and over again, and Luo Feng’s heart sank deeper and deeper into a bottomless abyss.

  The repeated rejections had caused him to sink into despair. He stood stiffly on the spot with an ashen face.

  At that moment, he had no choice but to admit that the 'small, run-down company” in his words wielded great influence in Westridge District and that “country bumpkin” was no mere commoner.

  “Hey, why are you standing there? Are you done with your calls?” Tang Hao said mockingly as he glared at him.

  Luo Feng’s facial muscles twitched. He was thoroughly humiliated.

  He had boasted that he would immediately bankrupt Tang Hao’s company, but he was already out of ideas.

  He had never been humiliated like that before.

  “Damn bastard, just you wait! I won’t let you off that easily!” Luo Feng cursed as he pointed at Tang Hao.

  Then, he turned around and walked away in a huff.

  Chapter 131 - Grandmaster Chacha

  The sports car disappeared around the street corner along with the
loud rumbling of its engine.

  The crowd in front of the building was boiling over with activity.

  They were hotly discussing that boy in a white button-down shirt and a three-wheeled motorcycle.

  They had witnessed everything that happened.

  That boy was the president of Haotian Co. Ltd. Also, he dared to oppose the Second Young Master of Luo Enterprises.

  It seemed like Young Master Luo was defeated too.

  “This Haotian company is really something!” Everyone was discussing it excitedly.

  The calls that Young Master Luo had made earlier had left them slack-jawed. The Industry and Commerce Bureau, the Fire Department, and the bosses of many big companies had refrained from crossing Hao Tian Co. Ltd. One could easily see how powerful that company was.

  “He’s a VIP!” Everyone exclaimed as they looked at Tang Hao.

  They also felt quite strange that the boss of the company was unlike other bosses. He rode a cheap three-wheeled motorcycle and dressed plainly.

  No one would have expected him to be a boss if they met him on the street. They would have thought that he was a delivery boy.

  “Look at him, he’s keeping a low profile! That’s how a wealthy man should behave!” Many people exclaimed.

  Many people in the crowd were employees of Haotian Co. Ltd. They were excitedly introducing their company to the people around them. “Look at him, that’s my boss.”

  Some of the female employees had heart shapes in their eyes. “You’re so cool, Boss!” They shrieked.

  “I’m sorry, President Tang!” Han Yutong bowed at Tang Hao.

  “What are you apologizing for, Assistant Han?” Tang Hao was a little flustered.

  Han Yutong stood up straight. Her eyes were filled with tears and she sobbed as she spoke. “If not for me, you wouldn’t have gotten into so much trouble,” she said.

  Tang Hao smiled. “It’s nothing!”

  “President Tang, don’t you know that Luo Feng is an incredibly petty person who loves to scheme? Now that you’ve humiliated him, he’ll definitely be plotting revenge.

  “Luo Enterprises is massive and powerful. Haotian will surely be in trouble if he mobilizes the resources of his entire company,” Han Yutong said apologetically. Her eyes became redder than ever.

  “President Tang, thank you so much for standing up for me. I think I should still resign! Luo Feng won’t give up as long as I remain here.

  Tang Hao smiled coolly. “Assistant Han, do I look like a coward to you? I’ve told you before. You’re an employee of Haotian Co. Ltd., so I won’t allow anyone to lay a finger on you. Luo Enterprises, right? I’d like to see what tricks they have up their sleeve.”

  “President Tang…” Han Yutong was still trying to persuade him.

  “Speak no more. You don’t have to resign, Assistant Han. I’m used to your work style. It’ll be a hassle if I have to get used to a new assistant.”

  Tang Hao paused for a while and continued, “Furthermore, that guy hates me anyway. He’ll be trying to wreck my company, regardless if you’re here!”

  “Um…” Han Yutong was at a loss for words.

  Finally, she had no other choice but to agree.

  Tang Hao was right. Luo Feng had a bone to pick with Haotian Co. Ltd., whether she remained in the company.

  “President Tang!” Liu Yan appeared from among the crowd.

  “Sis Yan!” Han Yutong greeted her apologetically.

  “It’s not your fault, Yutong. I’d do the same if I were President Tang,” Liu Yan comforted her.

  Tang Hao nodded as a sign of solidarity with Liu Yan.

  “Also, we should increase our security at the factory. I’ve heard rumors about this Second Young Master of the Luo family, and they’re all not good,” Liu Yan said.

  “Oh, what kind of rumors?” Tang Hao said, surprised.

  “This Second Young Master Luo is a despicable and underhanded person. I’m afraid that he’ll plot something against our factory. It’s not the first time that he’ll do that,” Liu Yan said.

  “Alright, increase the security at the factory,” Tang Hao nodded and said.

  “Yutong, you should come to stay at my house in the meantime! I’m afraid that he’ll come to harass you!”

  “Alright!” Han Yutong agreed.

  After parting ways with the women, Tang Hao rode on his little three-wheeled motorcycle and returned home.

  …

  Meanwhile, in the penthouse suite of a luxury hotel in the north of town.

  Luo Feng picked up a vase and smashed it on the ground. He had a ghastly expression on his face.

  Luo Feng had never been humiliated like that ever since he was young. He would not be able to live with it if he didn’t not exact revenge.

  “F*cking bitch, damn bastard!” He roared, then swiped everything on the table to the floor.

  He was not satisfied yet. He picked up the computer on the table and smashed it on the floor. After it shattered into pieces, he stomped on it several times.

  His phone started ringing just then.

  He stopped his rampage and took a few deep breaths to calm himself down, then answered the call.

  “Hello? How’s the investigation? What sort of figure is the boss of Haotian Co. Ltd.?”

  Someone replied over the phone. “Young Master Luo, this guy’s name is Tang Hao. He’s a village kid, from Tang Village in the outskirts of Westridge District.”

  “A village kid? How is that possible?” Luo Feng exclaimed incredulously.

  That kid had many powerful figures backing him. How would he be just a village kid?

  “He’s indeed a village kid, Young Master Luo. He’s lived a mediocre life but suddenly made himself a fortune. He got acquainted with Secretary Lin of the district, then started that healthcare company.”

  “Secretary? No wonder!” Luo Feng’s face darkened.

  “Secretary Lin has been recently promoted to a position in the city. It’s not going to be easy to handle this kid,” that person said.

  “Tsk! It’s troublesome indeed!” Luo Feng’s face became even darker.

  “Right, I’ve also discovered something about this Haotian company.”

  “Oh, what is it?”

  “Haotian. Co. Ltd. is currently selling a weight-loss potion. I’ve investigated the product, and everyone says that its effects are nothing short of miraculous. They’ve only started operations not too long ago, but sales have been booming. They should be poised to take over the entire weight-loss segment of the healthcare market if the trend continues.”

  Luo Feng’s face changed. “The effects are miraculous?”

  “That’s right. You can see that sales are booming.”

  Luo Feng gritted his teeth and his face flashed with envy.

  Then, he widened his mouth into a grin. “Isn’t that good for us? If we can steal the formula for the weight-loss potion, we’ll make big profits, and at the same time destroy that company.”

  The other end of the phone was silent for a while. “What do you plan to do, Young Master Luo?”

  Luo Feng thought for a while and replied coldly, “Contact Grandmaster Chacha. I don’t only want the recipe, I want his life too!”

  Chapter 132 - The Grandmaster Wets His Pants

  “Grandmaster Chacha?” The voice on the other end of the call sounded surprised. It even sounded a little fearful.

  Grandmaster Chacha was not a normal person. He was a mysterious shaman from Nanyang and could control supernatural forces. He was not a mere mortal by any means.

  Grandmaster Chacha was renowned for raising child spirits and casting curses.

  For normal people, they would be respectful, or even fearful, of people who wielded such supernatural power.

  “Are you sure we’re involving Grandmaster Chacha?” That person hesitated.

  “Of course! I want that bastard dead! I hope he gets cursed so that he suffers for a few days before he dies in extreme agony!” Luo Feng sai
d viciously.

  The other person shivered.

  He had witnessed how a person cursed by Grandmaster Chacha had died in indescribable pain. That scene was nothing short of a nightmare.

  “Why, are you afraid?” Luo Feng mocked.

  “No! I’ll contact the Grandmaster for you, Young Master Luo.”

  “Alright, get him to come here as soon as he can. I want that bastard dead by tonight! Tell Grandmaster Chacha that if he gets here quickly, I’ll pay him double!”

  “Yes, Young Master Luo!” That person replied politely.

  Luo Feng threw his phone on the bed after the call ended. He laughed coldly and mumbled to himself, “Tang Hao, oh, Tang Hao, you dare oppose me? I’ll make sure you beg for death.”

  Grandmaster Chacha walked through the front entrance of the hotel in the evening.

  He was a short, thin, and extremely ugly man: He was cross-eyed, had a flat nose and his face was full of pimples. He wore a black business suit and a felt hat and carried a big black suitcase in one hand.

  “You’re finally here, Grandmaster!” Luo Feng greeted him enthusiastically.

  “Long time no see, Young Master Luo!” The Grandmaster cupped his hands. “Who’s the target this time?”

  “It’s a simple job. Let’s go upstairs to discuss, Grandmaster.”

  Luo Feng brought Grandmaster Chacha into the penthouse suite and briefly explained what happened.

  The Grandmaster looked at a photo with the boy’s face and chuckled. “I thought it was some powerful figure. It’s just a kid! This is too easy!”

  “Grandmaster, I’d like you to cast your most powerful curse on him. He shall experience the worst tortures in the world before he dies,” Luo Feng said viciously.

  The Grandmaster was surprised. “Ha, Young Master Luo, someone must’ve ticked you off really bad! Since you’ve requested it, I’ll cast the strongest curse on him. You’ll definitely be satisfied, Young Master Luo.”

  “Thank you, Grandmaster!” Luo Feng said gleefully.
