Now, it was Cheng Hong's turn to be stunned.

Cheng Hong could tell that Han Yang wasn't deliberately deceiving him. From his nonchalant tone, Cheng Hong could hear that he really didn't know it was him who had given the orders!

What's going on? You don't know I gave the orders? Then why did you kidnap me?

A surge of anger flared up in Cheng Hong's heart. "Boss Han, are you joking?"

"I'm not joking."

Han Yang shook his head. "I've figured it out. If you want to make a living in this Vegetable Market District, you can't do it without a background or a backer. So, I found you, Supervisor Cheng. If you can be my backer, then things will be stable."

Cheng Hong looked at the few burly men whose expressions were tense and whose hands were constantly on their gun handles. He suppressed the anger in his heart. "You want me to be your backer, and you kidnap me?"

"Otherwise? I can't see you at all during normal times."

"It's not impossible for me to be your backer. I'll take half of your shares. Let me go now, and come find me tomorrow."

Han Yang chuckled. "Supervisor Cheng, are you treating me like a child? You want to be my backer without offering a Meeting Gift?"

Cheng Hong could no longer suppress his anger. "You're asking me to be your backer, and you still want me to offer a Meeting Gift?"

Unexpectedly, Han Yang nodded very seriously. "Yes. Bring the person up."

Two security guards escorted a person who was tied up tightly. Cheng Hong glanced at him and was very surprised to see Zhou Da'an.

"Supervisor Cheng, why are you here! Han Yang! It's you, it really is you! You even dare to kidnap Supervisor Cheng, you've got some nerve! Haha, just wait, you won't live long!"

Zhou Da'an burst into laughter.

Han Yang's expression remained unchanged. He directly threw a dagger in front of Cheng Hong. "Kill him."

He then turned to Shen the Butcher and said, "Record everything."

Shen the Butcher, with a cold face, picked up his phone, opened the camera, and aimed it at Cheng Hong.

Clearly, recording the video of Cheng Hong personally killing a mid-level security officer from the security bureau was the Meeting Gift Han Yang wanted Cheng Hong to offer.

Normally, if he wanted to kill Zhou Da'an, Cheng Hong had a hundred ways to do it quietly and without any hidden dangers. But, once it was recorded, and the video leaked out, the situation would be different.

No matter what, Cheng Hong's future was over.

"Do it, Supervisor Cheng. If I don't have something to hold over you, how can I feel at ease with you being my backer? Don't you think that's the logic?"

Cheng Hong remained silent, bent down, and picked up the dagger. Zhou Da'an struggled desperately, shouting, "Han Yang, you lunatic, how dare you threaten Supervisor Cheng! Do you know Supervisor Cheng's identity! If anything happens to Supervisor Cheng, the Earth Guard will immediately be dispatched, and your whole family will die!"

Cheng Hong looked at Han Yang with a hint of sarcasm. "What if I say no?"

"Then it's very regrettable. Then I can only let Zhou Da'an kill you." Han Yang sighed. "Zhou Da'an's position is too low, and it would take money to train him to be a qualified backer. It's troublesome. You're much more direct and straightforward."

Cheng Hong said coldly, "Can you bear the consequences of killing me?"

Han Yang said with a smile, "Supervisor Cheng is joking. Given the situation today, even if I let you go, would you not retaliate against me? If I kill you, I die. If I don't kill you and let you go, I also die. What do you think I'll do?"

Cheng Hong said, "I guarantee that I won't pursue today's matter. We'll pretend nothing happened."

Han Yang laughed heartily. "Supervisor Cheng, are you treating me like a child?"

Cheng Hong slightly lowered his eyelids, his mind racing.

This was the situation.

No matter how much power he had, he was still in Han Yang's hands at this moment.

If he killed him, he would die, and Han Yang would also die.

If he let him go, Han Yang would also die. Han Yang would definitely kill him first before he died.

Only the third option, killing Zhou Da'an and offering a Meeting Gift, would allow both him and Han Yang to live.

Fine, fine, fine. No matter what, I'll get through today first and save myself.

Even if he killed Zhou Da'an and was recorded, and Han Yang had something on him, given enough time to plan slowly in the future, he might not be unable to quietly resolve the hidden danger.

The only difference was the cost.

No matter what, this hidden danger had to be resolved. Otherwise, with Han Yang holding this over him and threatening him every few days, wouldn't he become his dog?

This was absolutely unacceptable.

Having made up his mind, Cheng Hong held the dagger and walked directly towards Zhou Da'an.

Zhou Da'an struggled desperately, shouting, "Supervisor Cheng, Supervisor Cheng! Don't fall for it! If you kill me, Han Yang will have something on you, and your fate won't be any better! He doesn't dare to kill you!

Supervisor Cheng! I'm loyal to you, you can't kill me! Han Yang! Boss Han! Everything I did was ordered by Cheng Hong, it has nothing to do with me! Ah!"

Under the control of the two burly men who were like iron towers, Zhou Da'an couldn't move no matter how much he struggled. Cheng Hong said nothing, and silently plunged the dagger directly into Zhou Da'an's chest.

Zhou Da'an's eyes widened, his body tensed, and in a moment, he lost his breath.

"Is it all recorded?"

"It's recorded."

"Supervisor Cheng, don't move yet, let's get a close-up. Brother Shen, get closer and film, film the chest, yes, yes, yes."

Shen the Butcher, with a cold face, directly shoved the phone towards Zhou Da'an's chest.

"Let's get a full body and face close-up of Supervisor Cheng as well, in case someone doesn't recognize Supervisor Cheng."

Shen the Butcher patted Cheng Hong down again, very carefully. Cheng Hong remained expressionless throughout.

"Done patting? Send me the video."

After some operations, Han Yang said, "Alright. I've sent the video to a total of ten email addresses that only I know. Every day, I will send a blocking email. If I don't send it one day, these ten email addresses will automatically send this recording to ten thousand pre-prepared email addresses.

I don't need to say whose these ten thousand email addresses belong to, do I?"

Cheng Hong said coldly, "The pledge of allegiance has been given. What else is there?"

"How will you handle Zhou Da'an's matter?"

"Simple. I will arrange evidence to say that people from the Iron Wolf Gang killed him. At that time, I can just sweep away the Iron Wolf Gang to vent your anger. Boss Han, you can also rest assured. From now on in this Vegetable Market District, no one will dare to trouble you."

At this moment, Cheng Hong's heart was filled with resentment and malice.

He had already made up his mind that even if he had to give ten million in gifts to his superiors later, he would settle this matter and kill Han Yang with his own hands.

But this matter was not urgent; he could plan it slowly.

Han Yang walked over and extended his hand. Cheng Hong also stiffly extended his hand, and their hands clasped together.

"From now on, Supervisor Cheng, you are my backer. Happy cooperation."

"Happy cooperation."

Cheng Hong suppressed the resentment and anger in his heart, his tone calm.

Unexpectedly, Han Yang laughed heartily: "Since we're cooperating happily, and I'll need to rely on Supervisor Cheng in many places in the future, I should show some appreciation."

He walked over, picked up a box, and opened it. Inside were stacks and stacks of cash.

"Two million in cash, consider it a meeting gift."

This time, Cheng Hong was completely stunned.
