Chapter 2322: Chapter 2323: The Truth Behind the Downfall

“I’ve got nothing going on. Don’t worry about me.”

Liang Jinming laughed, “President Ji is pregnant, this is a big deal. I have to go show some concerns, and you, Gao, you two have been together for such a long time, why is there still no movement? Do you have some illness? Better get it treated early.”

“Fuck off, don’t try to change the subject on me. Hurry up and explain what’s going on.” Gao Zongyuan cursed:

“If it wasn’t serious, I wouldn’t believe these two women could shit around your neck.”

“Really, it’s nothing. You all are overthinking,” Liang Jinming said, lighting a cigarette, not adding anything else.

“Stop beating around the bush, if there’s an issue, just spit it out. You’re acting like a woman.” Qin Han said impatiently.

“It’s just some business problems.”

Liang Jinming also knew that being cornered here by them, if he didn’t honestly confess, they definitely wouldn’t let him go.

“Weren’t all your previous businesses doing well? Where exactly is the problem?” Lin Yi asked.

In terms of financial resources, the Liang family is the weakest among the four, yet it’s still high on the rankings.

Logically, such a stable operating large family shouldn’t easily encounter problems.

“Things have been a bit off recently, seems like some higher-ups are intentionally targeting the Liang family; many things are not going smoothly, especially at critical moments, which we can’t resolve immediately.”

Liang Jinming flicked some ash, cursing under his breath:

“My mom sold some family assets, pulled some money together, preparing to do some coal business with the Pan Family at Jinyang, hoping to stabilize the Liang family’s crisis through this arrangement, that’s basically it.”

“Hold on a second,” Lin Yi said:

“You just said that someone above wants to mess with the Liang family? What does that mean?”

“I’m not completely sure myself, just overheard my dad and my mom mention it,” Liang Jinming responded:

“My mom has this close friend, we’ve had close business interactions for many years, they’ve collaborated a lot, but recently, my mom’s friend seemed to have gotten into trouble, causing our family to follow suit.”

“That can’t be true,” Gao Zongyuan put forth his thoughts, “What would it take for the higher-ups to personally act? And how could that involve your family?”

“I’m not clear on that, they didn’t tell me much,” shrugged Liang Jinming.

Lin Yi’s eyes darted, “Who is this friend of my aunt? What’s her name?”

Liang Jinming thought for a bit, “I think her surname is Li, called Li Rongyuan.”

“Fuck! You actually know her!”

Seeing Lin Yi’s change of expression, the three men were somewhat confused.

“What’s up? You know this person?” Qin Han asked.

Lin Yi clicked his tongue, finding it somewhat coincidental.

“Li Rongyuan’s husband is Zhou Guangyao. He committed a major crime recently, I was personally involved in his arrest.”

“Holy shit, for real?”

The three exclaimed simultaneously, quite shocked.

“Of course it’s true, but I can’t go into details. Just put it this way, if it were ancient times, it would be a sin deserving of execution for the entire clan,” Lin Yi said:

“From this point of view, it’s somewhat understandable that the Liang family got affected. So, don’t feel unjust about this.”

“Fuck, so it’s really because of them,” Liang Jinming cursed resentfully.

“Don’t worry about it anymore. Go back and tell Uncle Liang and Aunt Chen to relax, have a good new year,” Lin Yi pondered:

“After the new year, I’ll make a trip to Yanjing, try to settle this for you, and help the Liang family avoid the limelight. When you go back, ask again how much exactly is needed in cash, three or four hundred billion, I can still gather that for you.”

“I’ll go talk to my dad, we should be able to come up with a hundred and eighty billion,” Qin Han said.

“I have no problem either, helping your Liang family get through this should be enough,” Gao Zongyuan stated.

Liang Jinming’s fingers trembled with the cigarette, having something to say, but somehow couldn’t get the words out.

“Look at you, crying like what fucking good it does,” Qin Han cursed.

“Thanks.”

“Listening to your thanks makes me feel sick,” Gao Zongyuan laughed and scolded.

“What the fuck do you want me to say then? Even if you were my real brothers, you might not have helped this much. Can’t I even feel touched?”

“Moved or not, don’t fucking squeeze out tears, I still need to comfort you, a grown man. It gives me the creeps just thinking about it.”

“Fuck.”

“Hold on a minute,” Lin Yi interrupted their conversation, “On the way back, Uncle Liang called you. What’s all this about legal proceedings?”

“Didn’t we just talk about collaborating with the Pan Family? Our family gathered some money and sent 30 billion over, but just after you guys beat up Pan Qiaoqiao, not long after, a call came to my dad, saying they will pursue the issue to the end. My dad is worried about not being able to get the 30 billion back, which would just add insult to injury for our Liang family.”

“With the character of those Jinyang folks, they really might do such a thing,” Gao Zongyuan stated.

“Indeed, they’re all into serious business there. When it comes to ambition and manipulation, there are not many across the country who can compete with them,” Qin Han said.

“I also heard a bit about this, there seems to be a Jin City Chamber of Commerce there that’s quite famous,” Lin Yi mentioned.

“Indeed, with members across the nation, most crucially, those people are very united, much stronger than the groups in the coastal area.”

Lin Yi clicked his tongue, looking towards Liang Jinming, “How well do you know the Pan Family?”

“They seem pretty impressive, reportedly the richest in the Western Region. Even if our Liang family wasn’t in trouble, financially, we’d probably still fall short,” Liang Jinming said, stepping on the cigarette butt:

“And that person named Wang Chen, her family is no good either, reportedly her father is the old boss of the underground forces there, a very influential character.”

“I see why she’s got such attitude. With such support from her family, no wonder she’s so arrogant,” Qin Han dismissively said.

“Indeed, but considering their influence in the Western Region, they really do have the capital to act that way.”

“You guys stay in touch about the business. If they’re willing to return the money, all issues would be peacefully resolved. If not, we need to have a serious talk with them.”

Ring, ring, ring—

Just then, Liang Jinming’s phone rang.

Checkingcaller, his expression instantly changed.

“Who’s calling?” Gao Zongyuan asked.

Liang Jinming waved his phone in front of the three men.

Lin Yi saw that the caller was Pan Qiaoqiao.

“Can’t mention someone during the day or a ghost at night, mention someone and they appear.”

Lin Yi answered the call, activated the speaker, and before saying anything, heard Pan Qiaoqiao roaring:

“Liang Jinming, you’re fucking dead, your family better prepare for bankruptcy!”
