Beloved Enemy

Chapter 45

YuanLiJiang's actions are extremely swift and precise. On the third day after the incident, Lawyer Zhao informed GuQingPei and YuanYang on the results of the tax audit. Every company has problems with their (accounting) books, especially if they are tied to some organized crime in nature so any investigation could easily bring it to light. Just based on last year's accounts alone, the tax evasion from this particular company amounted to as high as six million. If they were to investigate further back, that amount could be unimaginable.

GuQingPei deeply sighed and felt what it meant by "the older the person, the wiser he is." YuanLiJiang's actions caught the other party completely off-guard, giving them no time to react. They couldn't even get their bearings. Whether it was from getting his people to do things, or based on capability or trickery skills, the disparity between he and YuanLiJiang is far too great. For a strategist like YuanLiJiang to look up to him, he had always felt very honored.

Having to be confined to the hotel room for two days, the two men were bored out of their minds.

YuanYang kept making a fuss on wanting to go out. Even if it was just to eat a meal but he was stopped by GuQingPei. At this crucial time, GuQingPei would not do anything to disobey YuanLiJiang.

When YuanYang went to the bathroom, GuQingPei's phone rang.

He picked up the phone and saw that it is a private number. He usually wouldn't pick up these kinds of calls so he immediately ended the call.

The phone continuously rang.

GuQingPei thought and finally connected the call, "Hello, who's this?"

The line on the other side was silent, and then came a slightly gloomy voice, "Hello, Director Gu."

This voice is completely unfamiliar to GuQingPei.

GuQingPei calmly asked, "Who are you?"

"Who I am, you don't need to know. Director Gu is a smart person, I'm only offering you a bit of advice. When it is possible to spare, one should be lenient."

GuQingPei scoffed, "Isn't it too late for you to be telling me this now? Ahhh, or could it be that you didn't intend to tell this to a dead or disabled person?"

The other party laughed grimly, "Director Gu, your thinking is too complicated, I'm merely trying to scare you."

"Ahhh...this, anything you say to me now is useless. If this was a conflict between us, I'll definitely back down. I can't afford to be wielding weapons. But now, you have provoked the person that shouldn't have been provoked. This matter have long been out of my control. You make the best of it."

"What do you mean? Who did we provoke?"

GuQingPei shook his head with a smile, "Live foolishly... die foolishly." After the speech, he decisively hung up the phone.

At this time, YuanYang came out of the bathroom and saw that his complexion wasn't good, "What's wrong?"

"The other party just called to threaten me," GuQingPei then called Lawyer Zhao to inform him of the matter so they could have police follow up on it.

YuanYang's face was a bit gloomy, "These bastards have balls. What did he say?"

GuQingPei smiled coldly, "Trying to persuade me to let them off."

"Let him go my fucking ass," YuanYang anxiously wanted to smash the phone. He hasn't had a good rest the last two days, not because he got injured but because he would often think of the machete that was swaying toward GuQingPei when he closed his eyes He still remembered holding his breathe, the feeling of his heart suddenly tightening. If that machete really struck GuQingPei, he'll definitely kill that piece of trash.
