The Rich Man's Life Begins with a Comeback

Chapter 271 Torture of Humanity

Perkins Club, General Manager's Office.

The Chu brothers sat side by side on the sofa, each with a glass of whiskey beside them. In front of them was a laptop, and the screen showed the room where the Gao father and son were currently located.

The picture quality is high-definition and the sound quality is clear.

"Brother, do you think Gao Zhengyang will make a move?"

Chu Zhengnan took a sip of the foreign liquor and asked Chu Zhengxiong.

"High probability."

Chu Zhengxiong didn't rule out any possibility, after all, anything is possible in this kind of torture that tests human nature.

A heaven, a hell.

In the blink of an eye, heaven and hell are within reach.

"Brother, what if Gao Zhengyang really makes a move?"

Chu Zhengnan then asked, "Do we really intend to continue cooperating with Gao Zhengyang's Jiuyang Trading Company and continue to support Jiuyang Trading Company's expansion nationwide?"

When Chu Zhengnan asked him, Chu Zhengxiong did not answer directly. Instead, he asked, "Zhengnan, what did you see in Gao Zhengyang's eyes just now in the private room?"

"Fear, hope, anxiety, despair..."

Chu Zhengnan pondered for a moment, then added, "There's still a hint of deathly silence."

"Can't you see the hatred?"

Chu Zhengxiong countered with a question.

"He dares!"

"Skin him alive!"

Chu Zhengnan's face showed a fierce expression, and his eyes were even more ruthless.

"yes……"

"He didn't dare, so you didn't see it."

Chu Zhengxiong's gaze was deep: "But have you ever considered that after he leaves our sight, as he tosses and turns in the dead of night, constantly recalling everything that happened tonight, will there still be hatred in his eyes?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Zhengnan remained silent for a moment.

"Fear and despair are the best soil for the seed of hatred to take root and sprout."

At this point, Chu Zhengxiong changed the subject: "Since the seeds of hatred have already been sown, then we are enemies. So why should we support Jiuyang Trading to continue to grow? What's the difference between that and aiding the enemy?"

"So, you were just lying to him earlier, brother?"

Upon hearing Chu Zhengxiong's words, Chu Zhengnan instantly understood what his elder brother meant.

"It's easy to get your hands dirty, but difficult to get them clean."

“If I hadn’t lied to him, why would he have done it himself?”

"The bigger the company grows, the more people will be watching us."

"Be cautious and prudent, as if walking on thin ice, and you will be able to land safely in the end."

"The era of fighting and killing is over; think things through before you act."

Chu Zhengxiong sighed softly: "Force should always be the last resort. We cannot do without it, nor can we act arbitrarily."

"Brother, what do you want to do?"

Chu Zhengnan concealed the fierce glint in his eyes, knowing that Chu Zhengxiong always thought three steps ahead before taking a step, and probably had already devised a plan long before Gao Zhengyang arrived at the Perkins Club.

"Our group is about to expand its business, and the demand for alcoholic beverages will inevitably increase further in the future. Even without today's incident, Jiuyang Trading could no longer meet the group's current needs in terms of supply chain coverage and alcoholic beverage costs."

“I sent people to contact many large beverage suppliers with nationwide distribution channels some time ago. Now, as long as our group is willing, our group can cut off its beverage supply from Jiuyang at any time.”

“If it weren’t for what happened today, I intended to leave the existing base in Jilin Province to Gao Zhengyang’s Jiuyang Trading. But since what happened today has happened, there’s no need to leave that base to him anymore.”

Chu Zhengxiong looked at Gao Zhengyang on the computer screen, who was struggling and in pain as Gao Hailong pleaded with him. His eyes were filled with indifference.

"If Gao Zhengyang really takes action, you should later extract the video of him personally taking action and then mute the video."

“Once our group’s new beverage supplier has completely replaced Jiuyang Trading, you should send a trusted person to submit this video to the police on the grounds of reporting and exposing wrongdoing.”

Chu Zhengxiong raised an eyebrow at this point: "Cutting off someone's right hand, that's considered serious injury, right? In the event of conclusive evidence, it should be at least ten years in prison, shouldn't it?"

"According to Article 234 of the Criminal Law, anyone who causes death or serious injury resulting in severe disability by particularly cruel means shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than ten years, life imprisonment, or death."

Chu Zhengnan, known outside as "Brutal Bear," can readily recite many articles of the Criminal Law: "If Gao Zhengyang really did lay a hand on someone, he would meet the standard of causing serious injury and severe disability by particularly cruel means. And since the right hand is an important functional limb, the sentence will definitely be more severe."

"Oh……"

"Considering that Gao Zhengyang has been our partner for so many years, let's try to pull some strings for him and see if we can let him spend the rest of his life in prison."

Chu Zhengxiong nodded slightly. Although his tone was gentle, the content of his words was as cold and ruthless as the coldest winter day. "And what about Gao Hailong?"

"And what about Gao Zhengyang's wife, Hu Mei?"

Chu Zhengnan asked Chu Zhengxiong again.

"Once Gao Zhengyang goes to jail, Hu Mei will be just an ordinary housewife. I guess she won't dare to stay in the country any longer and will most likely take Gao Hailong abroad."

Chu Zhengxiong watched the dramatic scene unfolding on the computer screen with rapt attention and interest: "As we all know, things are very chaotic abroad. It's quite normal for orphans and widows to encounter accidents overseas, right?"

Before he could finish speaking, Chu Zhengnan had already understood his meaning.

"What if they don't leave?"

As Chu Zhengxiong's younger brother, Chu Zhengnan had followed Chu Zhengxiong in building the empire all these years. He could roughly guess Chu Zhengxiong's thoughts, but he dared not make a decision on his own. So he asked Chu Zhengxiong to confirm whether his thoughts were consistent with Chu Zhengxiong's.

"Then force them to leave."

Chu Zhengxiong responded softly, leaning forward slightly as the events unfolding on the computer screen reached their most exciting part.

……

"dad!"

"I will never dare again!"

"From now on, I will definitely listen to you and Mom!"

"I will behave myself from now on and never cause trouble again!"

"I'm still young, I don't want to be disabled, I can't live without my right hand!"

As Gao Hailong watched Gao Zhengyang slowly pick up the machete in front of him, he was filled with extreme fear. A lot of foul-smelling liquid dripped from the gap between his knees.

"Hailong, don't be afraid."

"Even without your right hand, you can still live a life free from worries about food and clothing."

"Dad will take care of you for the rest of your life."

Gao Zhengyang stared at the gleaming blade, his voice almost a murmur.

"you can not do that!"

"I am your son, you can't treat me like this!"

"Please, please take me with you!"

"I will never do it again!"

"I'll never do it again!"

Gao Hailong howled in agony, his head banging violently against Gao Zhengyang.

"Never again?"

"You led a group fight in junior high school, breaking someone's nose and three ribs. That's what you said back then."

"You were speeding late at night during your university years and hit and killed an elderly woman crossing the road. That's what you said back then."

At first, Gao Zhengyang's voice was very soft, but the more he spoke, the louder his voice became.

"But--"

"When the hell have you ever changed?"

“Every time something happens, you just hide behind your mother and make me clean up your mess. After the storm passes, you still do whatever you want without any remorse!”

Gao Zhengyang had turned into a roar, and his eyes were bloodshot.

After saying that, he suddenly grabbed Gao Hailong's right hand.

"Pfft..."

With a swift movement, the knife fell, and blood splattered all over his body.

……

Perkins Club, General Manager's Office.

Seeing that Gao Zhengyang had made his final decision, Chu Zhengxiong picked up the wine glass beside him and drank it all in one gulp, his expression remaining unchanged throughout.

"Notify the medical staff to come to the scene, and then assist Gao Zhengyang in taking his son to the hospital."

Chu Zhengxiong stood up, gave a calm instruction, and then strode towards the exit of the general manager's office.

Chu Zhengnan gazed at his brother's broad, tall back and silently bowed his head in response:
"Arrange it immediately..."
