579 Changing Directions

After learning that Zhang Rong was only a puppet and not the real Zhang Rong, Chu Ning did not stay any longer.

This trip was not in vain. At least she knew Zhang Rong’s secret. Deng Yu had been in the Rongwei Group for so many years, but he did not notice it. It could be seen that Zhang Rong was really scheming.

“Fifth Brother, what are your subsequent plans?” Chu Ning asked Chu Yang on the way out.

Zhang Rong would not pretend that nothing had happened. His former subordinate had betrayed him. If he could tolerate this, his Rongwei Group would not need to continue operating.

“I originally wanted to develop for a while, but it looks like he won’t give me this chance any longer,” Chu Yang replied with a smile.

“Even without today’s incident, he didn’t intend to watch me grow stronger,” Chu Yang continued.

“President Chu, Zhang Rong and Yang Feng are not in a collaborative relationship,” Deng Yu suddenly spoke up.

Deng Yu was in an awkward situation. After all, he had been very confident before he came. He had been so confident for many years that he did not expect there to be two Zhang Rongs…

This result also made him feel a lingering fear. If the real Zhang Rong was in the Rongwei Group, he wasn’t sure if Chu Ning and the others could survive, but he would definitely die.

He had gotten things screwed up on his first time relying on Chu Ning. Although she did not say anything, it did not mean that she would not have other thoughts.

“We can talk about this later. I don’t care if there’s a collaborative relationship between them.” Chu Ning shook her head.

The reason she came to Rongwei Group was to make her stand clear.

Anyone who tried to stop her would have to pay the price of being destroyed at any time.

“You should go back first. As for your underlings, I think you should be able to make suitable arrangements. Bai Hong, you should follow as well,” Chu Ning continued.

“Fifth Brother, times have changed.” After the two of them left, Chu Ning and Chu Yang chatted while taking a walk.

“Indeed. Especially in the past twenty to thirty years, everyone’s living standards had improved a lot with the advancement of technology.” As Chu Yang said this, he remembered that the Chu family didn’t even have a television when he was young.

“Even more so than this, there is also a huge change in people’s way of thinking.” Chu Ning sighed.

“Fifth Brother, do you know why I’m not afraid of Zhang Rong?” Chu Ning suddenly asked.

“Is it because of Bai Hong or also because of me?” Chu Yang looked at Chu Ning, puzzled.

Even though together, he and Chu Se were not Zhang Rong’s match, but other than that, he couldn’t think of where Chu Ning’s confidence came from.

“Not really. Under the current circumstances, Zhang Rong would only think about how to reliably whitewash all his businesses. He would not be like a decade ago, where large-scale fights would happen at any time. This would result in casualties, and many would lose their lives. The high pension and the subsequent adverse effects would attract the attention of the government. At that time, the best outcome for him would be life imprisonment,” Chu Ning said lightly.

“What you said makes sense.” Chu Yang agreed. He also felt the pressure of the environment in the past few years.

“Yeah, once Zhang Rong goes too far, the mayor of M City won’t let him disturb social order. Anti-crime campaigns require evidence, while that of anti-terrorism only requires a list. Furthermore, it’s kill first, report later. Fifth Brother, do you think that Zhang Rong and his forces are stronger than the well-trained special police forces who have been on the battlefield and experienced hails of bullets?” Chu Ning asked.

“If he resisted, his head would definitely be blown to pieces by the sniper,” Chu Yang said after thinking for a while.

Vainly attempting to fight against the government and the regular army with his own strength?

This was no different from letting a three-year-old kid fight a fully-armed adult.

“This is also the reason why he has been keeping a low profile in recent years. He wants to quickly whitewash the industries under him that brush against the law. This is not a simple matter. Moreover, he has no choice; the interests of many are implicated,” Chu Ning said softly.

“This is also the reason why he has never had a large-scale conflict with me,” Chu Yang said ruefully.

“He doesn’t lack anything now. How should I put it? The more he gets, the heavier the burden on him. Zhang Rong has many restrictions in doing things now, and many pairs of eyes are watching him. He’s no longer the young man who dared to risk his life twenty or thirty years ago,” Chu Ning said with a smile.

Zhang Rong could fight intensely with Chu Yang and Chu Se, but the price he had to pay was rather high. His current focus was not on this. He only wanted to protect his current wealth. He no longer had the fearless mindset he had had before.
