Yang Jiaojiao Kept Courting Disaster, Calling Sha Zhenjiang a "Damn Old Man"?

Wu Hongyan looked as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world.

"Hmph! Yue Xiaofei, have you eaten so many bargain meals you've started hallucinating?"

"You? You think you can make the Yang Family turn itself in?"

Yang Jiaojiao piled on. "Have you lost your mind? You want us to confess in public?"

"Do you know my dad's standing in Jiangcheng? A poor nobody like you dares challenge the Yang Family?"

"Let me tell you something: people have their place! The Yang Family is above you, and paupers like you are beneath us!"

"People like you are meant to be trampled by people like us! We can do whatever we want to you! Now get lost if you know what's good for you, and stop getting in our way!"

"Oh, really?"

A cold voice suddenly rang out.

Sha Zhenjiang stepped forward slowly. His gaze settled on the mother and daughter, a hint of mockery in his eyes. "By your logic, if I'm more powerful than you, does that mean I can do whatever I want to you?"

Yang Jiaojiao and Wu Hongyan froze.

They hadn't expected the old man, who had barely spoken until now, to say anything.

Wu Hongyan looked Sha Zhenjiang up and down.

He wore an ordinary Zhongshan Suit. Though he carried himself with composure, he looked like any other old man. "Who are you?" she asked disdainfully. "Why are you butting in?"

"I'm Yue Xiaofei's elder," Sha Zhenjiang replied evenly.

Phew...

The mother and daughter visibly relaxed.

"And here I thought you were somebody important. So you're just a relative Yue Xiaofei brought along to back him up?"

Yang Jiaojiao sneered and let loose. "Get lost, you damn old man! Stick your nose into the Yang Family's business again, and I'll have my dad find someone to cripple you!"

Damn old man?

Yue Xiaofei's heart gave a violent thump. Then an indescribable rush of delight swept through him.

The corners of his mouth rose. Holding back his grin was harder than controlling an AK.

There it is!

She really did it!

Keep going! Be even nastier!

Let her spew every vicious word she has, so Secretary Sha can see this family for what it really is!

The worse she talks, the harder the Yang Family will fall!

"You're asking for it!"

Secretary Zhou trembled with rage.

He had served Sha Zhenjiang for ten years and seen countless arrogant bullies, but never anyone who dared insult this iron-fisted secretary to his face!

Who did she think Secretary Sha was?

The man who called the shots in Handong Province!

The "King of Hell Sha" who struck fear into the entire Handong bureaucracy!

And this ignorant girl dared call him a "damn old man"?

Click!

Leng Feng's fingers came to rest on the holster at his waist.

As Sha Zhenjiang's personal guard, he would not let anyone show the secretary such disrespect!

"Wait!"

Sha Zhenjiang raised a hand to stop Leng Feng, then fixed his gaze on Yang Jiaojiao.

"What did you just say?"

His stare made Yang Jiaojiao's scalp prickle, but she refused to back down. "I called you a damn old man! Was I wrong? You've practically got one foot in the grave, and you still want to play the hero?"

"Exactly!"

Wu Hongyan chimed in. "If Yue Xiaofei really had some powerful relative, how did Gao Zisheng manage to bully him before? Not even the Military Region could protect him!"

They were certain Sha Zhenjiang was just an ordinary old man who only looked intimidating.

Besides, Gao Zisheng was still walking free. That proved Yue Xiaofei had no one powerful behind him!

Sha Zhenjiang ignored their taunts and pressed the question. "I'll ask again. If I'm more powerful, does that mean I can do whatever I want to you?"

"Stop putting on an act, you damn old man!"

Yang Jiaojiao was growing impatient. "If you've got the guts, go find my dad in the Banquet Hall next door! Yang Guohua is right there!"

Wu Hongyan backed her up. "That's right. If you're so capable, take it up with my husband. What's so impressive about picking on a mother and daughter?"

They thought invoking Yang Guohua would frighten Sha Zhenjiang.

Little did they know...

That foolish move was about to bring ruin down on the Yang Family!

Sha Zhenjiang's face remained expressionless.

But that calm was more frightening than thunder, like the dead silence before a storm!

"Some people won't turn back until they hit a wall!"

"Some won't turn back even then!"

"Then let's show them just how hard that wall is!"

Sha Zhenjiang strode toward the Banquet Hall next door.

"Xiaofei, come with me!"

"Yes."

Yue Xiaofei immediately followed.

"Who do you think you're fooling, you damn old man? My dad can crush you both with one finger!"

Yang Jiaojiao refused to let it go and kept shouting after them.

"That's right. Just wait. They'll get what's coming to them!"

Wu Hongyan tried to sound calm.

Yue Xiaofei looked at their bluster and sneered.

The ones who should be waiting are the Yang Family!

Waiting to repay their blood debt!

Waiting to fall from the heights of Jiangcheng straight into hell!

The main Banquet Hall.

Lights blazed as guests toasted one another.

Unlike the chaos next door, this hall was filled with the upper crust, including a host of wealthy tycoons.

Yang Guohua wore an Armani suit and stood surrounded by Jiangcheng's rich and powerful, his face beaming with pride.

"President Yang, congratulations! Your daughter got into the Dragon Kingdom Film Academy. She'll be a big star someday!"

"That's not all!"

A building-materials boss beside him immediately chimed in. "I hear President Yang recently landed a three-billion-yuan expressway project in Handong Province. Two reasons to celebrate! Don't forget us old friends when the work starts coming in!"

"Exactly!"

The others eagerly agreed.

"President Yang is rising fast. We'll be counting on you to give us a hand!"

"With that three-billion-yuan project under its belt, the Yang Family will be able to do whatever it wants in Jiangcheng!"

"Who cares about the Gao Family? Jiangcheng will belong to the Yang Family from now on!"

"..."

The flattery left Yang Guohua flushed with pleasure. He raised his glass, thoroughly pleased with himself.

"You're too kind, everyone. We're all friends. When there's money to be made, we'll make it together!"

"Between us, my brother-in-law Wu Liangde was just promoted. He's now second in command at the Handong Provincial Department of Transport, a deputy director with real power!"

"The Yang Family will have no shortage of transport projects in Handong from here on out! That three-billion-yuan expressway contract is only the beginning!"

The praise grew even louder.

Inside, Yang Guohua sneered.

He had gone from a small-time building-materials dealer to a Jiangcheng real-estate magnate entirely thanks to his brother-in-law Wu Liangde's support.

Back when Wu Liangde was Jiangcheng's urban construction Bureau Chief, he had steered plenty of municipal projects Yang Guohua's way.

Now Wu Liangde had transferred to Handong Province as the second-in-command at the Department of Transport. It was a position overflowing with opportunities to profit.

If you want to get rich, build roads!

An expressway offered money at every stage, from land acquisition and materials to construction and final inspection.

"I invited my brother-in-law here today. He'll arrive any minute!"

Yang Guohua deliberately raised his voice as he looked around. "I'll introduce you all. It'll make things easier in the future."

The tycoons' eyes lit up. They immediately sent their assistants to prepare gifts, eager to curry favor with this powerful official.

"With Director Wu backing them, the Yang Family is about to soar!"

Just then!

A commotion broke out outside.

"Move! All of you, move!"

"My dad's in there! You dare stop me?!"
