257: Chapter 257: Dominant Oppression 257: Chapter 257: Dominant Oppression Liu Yao had just arrived at the front door, escorted by her bodyguards, when she saw soone waiting.
She beca imdiately tense.
Given the recent attack, both the male and female bodyguards increased their vigilance.
They stepped forward to inquire about the identity of the visitor.
The guest claid that he was from the sa country as Liu Yao.
Aware of her attack, he suggested that she return to their holand with him, where she could receive better protection.
Liu Yao could guess who the person was but didn’t respond.
Instead, she stepped into the house.
At the mont she felt like a ship without a rudder, uncertain of what to do.
She decided to give her father a call.
Upon hearing the news, Liu Zhendong’s face changed color.
He imdiately called Yuan Zhenggang for a discussion.
They talked late into the night, their hearts filled with worry.
“What should we do?
The boss wants to harm Liu Yao.
We must do sothing about it.
How about we talk to him?” Liu Zhendong cherished his daughter, Liu Yao.
Unwilling to lose her, at this mont, he desperately needed the support of his brother-in-law.
In response, Yuan Zhenggang nodded, but after much thought, he said, “Firstly, we can’t confirm if it was the boss who sent soone to attack Liu Yao.
If we recklessly accuse the boss, we risk angering him.
Secondly, the fact that soone approached Liu Yao imdiately after her attack, could it be a coincidence?”
Upon hearing this, Liu Zhendong gasped in fear.
“What do you an?
You’re suggesting that the higher-ups arranged an attack on Liu Yao, making us believe it was the boss’s doing.
Consequently, it will create a rift between us, pushing Liu Yao to spill all the secrets.”
Yuan Zhenggang nodded once again, “That is highly probable.
Otherwise, it’s too much of a coincidence that n from both the boss and the higher-ups located Liu Yao on the sa day.
We were careful in obscuring Liu Yao’s whereabouts abroad”
“What should we do then?
We must figure it out.” Liu Zhendong anxiously exclaid, his nerves on edge.
He felt as though Liu Yao was in danger every passing second.
Yuan Zhenggang proposed, “Offer more money to the security company, strengthen the protection around Liu Yao.
That’s our top priority.”
Liu Zhendong found the idea feasible, but still had so apprehension, “How about we quickly move Liu Yao to a safer location?
Hide her away.”
“We should hide Liu Yao.
But if they found her once, they’d likely find her again.
The best strategy is to keep her movents unpredictable.” Yuan Zhenggang gave a seemingly sound strategy, which Liu Zhendong agreed to and quickly ordered his n to execute.
“Now that we’ve worked out Liu Yao, it’s ti for us to face the boss.” Saying this, Yuan Zhenggang took a deep breath, his eyebrows furrowed.
He was feeling very apprehensive about confronting the boss.
10 hours later, Yuan Cheng had just gotten off the plane when he learned about what had happened.
Unable to bear the thought of his newlywed wife being attacked, he stord off to confront the boss, ignoring everyone who tried to dissuade him.
anwhile, in a suburban villa, the boss was leisurely sipping on fine wine, looking as calm as ever.
He was already aware of Hai’s failed operation and Liu Yao’s safety.
He wondered how Yuan Zhenggang and Liu Zhendong would react next.
The boss had expected a visit from these two but didn’t anticipate that the visitor would be a fuming Yuan Cheng, who barged in.
Yuan Cheng slamd the table furiously, glaring at the boss, “What’s the aning of this, laying hands on my wife!”
“I didn’t make this decision alone.
It was a collective decision, and I rely agreed with it.” The boss spoke nonchalantly before giving Yuan Cheng a aningful look.
“In fact, I’m under enormous pressure too!
You guys sent Liu Yao abroad, completely out of our grasp.
Many people are uncomfortable with this, and indeed, their worry was spot on.
The higher-ups have already located Liu Yao.”
“So what?
She is my wife, Yuan Cheng’s wife!
No one can touch her without my consent!” Yuan Cheng was burning with rage and didn’t give in at all.
Despite Yuan Cheng’s anger, the boss remained unflustered.
He slowly got up, adjusted his clothes, and said with a smile, “I understand why you’re so defensive of your wife.
After all, what dignity does a man have if he can’t even protect his woman?”
Upon hearing this, a confused Yuan Cheng felt that the boss was open to negotiation.
Suddenly, the boss’s face changed, his eyes turned wicked.
As fast as lightning, he grabbed Yuan Cheng by the neck and lifted him.
Yuan Cheng struggled but without success, his face turning red, as he felt that the boss could easily snap his neck if he applied a bit more force.
The boss said sternly, “Listen well, Yuan Cheng.
Firstly, the organization involves more than just your and Liu’s families.
There are many others who are just as influential.
We can’t risk everyone else for Liu Yao.
Secondly, you guys sent Liu Yao abroad without informing us first.
This is your mistake.
Thirdly, no one has ever dared to speak to like this.
Not even Yuan Zhenggang or Liu Zhendong have this right.
Fourthly, if you want Liu Yao to remain alive, you need to follow my rules.
Do you understand?” After saying this, the boss let Yuan Cheng go.
Yuan Cheng collapsed onto the floor, gasping for breath, still shaken from his encounter with death.
“Alright, you can leave now.
Relay my ssage to Yuan Zhenggang and Liu Zhendong.” The boss sat back down, not casting another glance at Yuan Cheng.”
Yuan Cheng left trembling, a mix of terror and resentnt in his eyes.
He had never been treated in such a deaning manner before.
The boss didn’t care about Yuan Cheng’s feelings.
He believed he was in control of everything, including Yuan Cheng’s life.
Once Yuan Cheng was gone, Leng Le appeared from the other room.
His eyebrows deeply creased, “Boss, your actions are not going to win people over.
Won’t you fear the Yuan and Liu families betraying us?”
Unaffected, the boss replied, “Both families have weaknesses I can exploit.
How can they betray us?
What worries the most are Su Hui and Gu Fan, their ability to trace back clues is astonishing.
They’re the ones we should be dealing with.”
Leng Le started asking for advice, “So what should we do now?
Should Hai continue to track Liu Yao or keep low?”
“After what happened, I believe they’ve already moved Liu Yao to a safe place.
Have Hai find out where it is.
Even if we don’t harm Liu Yao, we can’t let her fall into the hands of others.” The boss’s command was filled with arrogance, as if nothing or nobody mattered to him.
Seeing the boss in this state, Leng Le worried that Yuan Zhenggang and Liu Zhendong might act out of desperation, which would complicate matters.
Nevertheless, he chose to follow the boss’s orders for the ti being.
“Liu Yao, you’re lucky to have dodged the bullet twice.
But what about the next ti…” Despite having a hardened heart, the long-standing friendship between them made Leng Le hope that Liu Yao could survive this ordeal.
