ABCFWGR Chapter 39 Thirty Seconds Have Passed
About ten minutes later...
A convoy of over a dozen cars blocked the entrance side by side.
Following closely, a middle-aged man with a ring-adorned left hand stepped out of the leading Mercedes, his eyes revealing a fierce aura as he strode forward.
"Who dares to touch my son, Dong Hansheng!"
"Show yourselves!"
Following him were over thirty bodyguards, all dressed in black with black pants and black leather shoes, their faces shielded by large sunglasses.
They stood in formation, exuding a powerful aura.
"Dad!"
Dong Pengcheng shouted excitedly, about to run over.
However, he was tripped by a leg that suddenly extended from the side, falling flat on his face.
Sitting on a temporary chair, Gu Chen extended his foot, stepping on Dong Pengcheng and slowly looked up at Dong Hansheng, his tone indifferent. "Where's the money?"
"Dad, save me!" Dong Pengcheng pleaded.
Dong Hansheng's face darkened, his chest heaving unevenly as he spoke sternly, "You better release my son before I lose my temper. Otherwise, I'll make sure you end up in a pool of blood."
"Your son colluded with others and caused trouble at my company. He should compensate for my losses, shouldn't he?" Gu Chen remained calm and unafraid.
"Give me the money, and you can take him away. If you don't, you won't be leaving either!"
"Hahaha!"
Dong Hansheng burst into laughter as if he had heard a hilarious joke, clutching his stomach and turning to his men behind him. "Brothers, did you hear that? This kid wants to reason with me?"
Then his expression turned fierce. "Damn it, no one has dared to reason with me for years. Even Chen Yuwei, when she sees me, has to be polite and call me uncle. And you think you're worthy of talking to me?"
"You have thirty seconds. Release my son immediately, or you'd better start making arrangements with the coffin shop!"
Arrangements with the coffin shop?
Was he planning to kill Gu Chen?
"Mr. Gu, you'd better release Young Master Dong quickly. Offending Chairman Dong is not a wise move!"
"I heard Chairman Dong used to be involved in the underworld when he was young, and he has blood on his hands."
"Chairman Dong has influence in both legal and illegal circles. You, a mere manager, shouldn't provoke him. Don't drag everyone down with you."
For a moment, all the employees present were discussing.
Not a single one stood on Gu Chen's side, and some even avoided him out of fear.
Except for Zhang Ke.
Watching anxiously, Zhang Ke whispered to Gu Chen, "Mr. Gu, I've already called the police. If you can hold on until the patrol arrives, we can get through this."
True friends reveal themselves in times of trouble.
Gu Chen felt warm in his heart and smiled at Zhang Ke. "Don't worry, they can't threaten me with just this. If they don't see the money today, none of them will be leaving."
Zhang Ke hesitated, not understanding where he got his confidence from.
"Thirty seconds have passed!"
Dong Hansheng took a step forward, his tone arrogant. "You brat, it seems you really don't know any better. Ready to face off against me, Dong Hansheng?"
"Well then, I'll grant your wish!"
With that, all the black-clad bodyguards put away their sunglasses in unison.
Waiting only for Dong Hansheng's command, they were ready to ravage the entire scene.
Bang... thud...
Just then, there were successive loud noises outside.
The more than ten cars from Dong Hansheng's side were immediately rammed aside by several large pickup trucks, sweeping through with an attitude of sweeping away everything.
Following closely, a Cadillac slowly came to a stop.
The driver hurried over to open the door, and the people who got out of the car made the whole scene shake.
"T... Tang Bafang?"
"You bastard, are you looking for death? How dare you address Mr. Tang by name?"
"But, Mr. Tang usually keeps a low profile. Why would he suddenly come here?"
"From his demeanor, it seems that he's not here for anything good. Could it be that he also has some accounts to settle with Chen's Pharmaceuticals?"
Everyone present was discussing.
Whether they knew Tang Bafang or not, they all felt an inexplicable pressure when they heard his name.
A person's reputation precedes them, and Tang Bafang's reputation was widely known in Lin'an.
"Mr. Tang!"
Dong Hansheng didn't dare to be negligent and was about to greet him with a bow.
But before he could approach, he suddenly heard Tang Bafang shout out, "Surround them!"
In an instant, more than a hundred people streamed out.
They passed by Tang Bafang in an orderly manner from both sides, rushing towards the lobby and surrounding Dong Hansheng and the others.
Whether in terms of momentum or combat power, they were not comparable to ordinary people.
Dong Hansheng's face changed drastically, and his mouth twitched. "Tang... Mr. Tang, is there some misunderstanding? I'm Xiao Dong, and I'm good friends with your subordinate, Mr. Feng."
"Don't create trouble for yourself, and don't get me in trouble." Tang Bafang ignored him directly and walked quickly towards Gu Chen.
Halfway there, he suddenly remembered that Gu Chen didn't want to reveal his identity, so he forcibly stopped his steps and nodded in acknowledgment.
Gu Chen smirked slightly in response.
Although he didn't know why Tang Bafang had brought people here, he was satisfied with his performance.
"Anyone who causes trouble, break their arms and legs and throw them out." Tang Bafang ordered.
"Yes!"
The hundred strong men shouted in unison, their voices shaking the heavens, their momentum awe-inspiring.
Some of the more timid ones were almost scared out of their wits.
"Mr. Tang, even if someone is to be killed, there should be a reason, right? Moreover, I'm good friends with your confidant, Mr. Feng. Aren't you afraid of alienating your subordinates?" Dong Hansheng panicked, shouting frantically.
Hearing this, Tang Bafang pushed aside the crowd and walked up to him, his tone cold. "Do I need a reason for what I do?"
"Since you claim to be good friends with Feng Yelin, that's fine. Today, I'll reunite you with him."
Boom!
Dong Hansheng's mind was blown. He stammered, "Feng... Feng Yelin is dead?"
The next moment, cold sweat dripped from his forehead, and he quickly denied, "Mr. Tang, I misspoke just now. I only have a casual acquaintance with Feng Yelin."
"If I have offended you in any way, please point it out, and I will make it up to you."
"I only ask you to spare me and my brothers!"
Finishing his words, he looked at Tang Bafang with trepidation.
"You still don't know who you've offended until now? Even if you miraculously survive today, you'll eventually die from your stupidity." Tang Bafang shook his head with disdain, his eyes full of contempt.
He really didn't understand how such an idiot had survived until now.
Dong Hansheng was first stunned, then he remembered something. He quickly looked behind Tang Bafang.
Sitting on a chair not far away was a young man with a calm demeanor, still stepping on Dong Pengcheng.
"Mr. Tang, I understand!"
Dong Hansheng cautiously made his way through the crowd, stumbling as he ran towards Gu Chen.
"Stop! What are you trying to do? With me here, you won't be able to harm Mr. Gu!" Zhang Ke was startled.
For some reason, she suddenly spread out her arms, protecting Gu Chen in front of her.
Like a mother hen protecting her chicks.
"Secretary Zhang, calm down."
Dong Hansheng stopped in his tracks, trying to appease her. "Don't you remember me? I'm from the Pharmaceutical Association. You can rest assured, I'm here to apologize to Mr. Gu."
"Apologize?"
Zhang Ke was full of disbelief and distrust, frowning. "A weasel paying New Year's greetings to a chicken, you must have ulterior motives."
Hearing this, Dong Hansheng's legs went weak, and he almost knelt down directly.
He wouldn't dare to have ulterior motives with Tang Bafang, Mr. Tang, watching from behind.
