The Underground Emperor: Starting with Running Away with His Sister-in-Law

The logistics company has also been squeezed by its competitors, and the temporary forced withdrawal of some of its funds by you has almost paralyzed the company's operations.

In order to maintain normal operations and to make up for the losses on the books...

Having no other choice, I had to mortgage another portion of my shares to keep the logistics company afloat.

Finally, let's talk about the construction company...

Do you remember how you always kept a portion of the project payments beforehand for research purposes?

Previously, this might not have been a big problem because there were always payments coming in from other projects.

However, the overall economic situation this year is really bad. We haven't received the final payment for several projects that we completed last year. Given the current situation, we don't know when the money will arrive.

In order to settle part of the material costs, staff salaries, and to cover up your previous withdrawal of funds, I mortgaged all of my remaining shares.

They barely managed to hold on!

And you know the situation we brothers are in right now...

Those shareholders are not easy to deal with; they're all eyeing us with predatory intent. Getting them to continue investing is definitely out of the question!

To be honest right now...

All the funds I have at my disposal don't exceed 50 billion. With no more money left to mortgage, what am I supposed to do?

Zhang Hanshu presented the facts and reasoned with the situation, his words filled with grievance.

As Zhang Junyu listened, he could no longer maintain his fierce demeanor and fell completely silent.

That’s all.

He knew in his heart that Zhang Hanshu seemed to have been completely drained.

otherwise...

Based on his understanding of his cowardly younger brother, there was no way he would say such a thing.

As for whether he's lying...

first...

The matter of equity pledge is something that can be easily found out with a simple investigation; there is no need for it, nor is it possible to lie about it.

Secondly...

Zhang Junyu was confident that his younger brother, whom he had manipulated and oppressed since childhood, would never dare to have any other thoughts about him.

After Zhang Hanshu finished speaking, he fell silent and secretly began to observe Zhang Junyu's expression.

What he said just now was sincere, and most of it was true.

However, a small portion of the cases are not like that.

for example...

He has indeed mortgaged all his shares, but it's hard to say whether he used them all to fund Zhang Junyu...

after all...

After a long period of suppression and pressure, he also needs to leave himself a way out, right?

He's not really stupid!

Zhang Junyu remained silent for a long time, as if he was pondering something...

Every now and then...

His gaze fell on Zhang Hanshu, as if he wanted to see through his appearance to his true inner thoughts.

Zhang Hanshu straightened his back, trying to appear more composed.

"Okay, I'll reluctantly accept your explanation..."

Zhang Junyu lowered his eyes, put down his knife and fork, and continued, "You just said that you can't do it all by yourself, so do you have any other ideas?"

Hear the words.

Zhang Hanshu's expression hardened.

Now comes the important part, which is also a part of Ding Xin's plan...

Zhang Hanshu steadied himself, trying to make his tone sound more sincere: "Brother, I do have an idea. Actually, our Babel Group is at a critical juncture, facing life or death. We only have one last path left, but this path requires your support..."

"Ok?"

Zhang Junyu frowned at first, then relaxed, as if he had anticipated something, and said calmly, "What are your thoughts? Tell me..."

"that is..."

Zhang Hanshu swallowed hard, his heart pounding, and said cautiously, "Brother, if you're willing to mortgage your shares, then..."

"hehe..."

Before Zhang Hanshu could finish speaking, Zhang Junyu interrupted him with a light laugh. He picked up the kitchen knife again, casually toying with it as he said in a cryptic tone, "I see. Indeed, if I pledge all my shares, the problem will be pretty much solved..."

His voice was so soft that Zhang Hanshu felt a chill run down his spine, and a bad premonition welled up deep in his heart.

soon...

His premonition came true.

After saying that, Zhang Junyu grinned, revealing his gleaming white teeth, and burst into a maniacal laugh...

Although laughing...

Yet it leaves absolutely no trace of pleasure...

Sudden...

His laughter stopped abruptly, then he suddenly stood up and overturned the entire table, scattering food and utensils everywhere!

Zhang Hanshu was startled by this scene.

He immediately stood up, unable to control himself, staring at Zhang Junyu in astonishment...

Zhang Junyu's expression, however, was unusually calm. He stared directly at him, then suddenly lifted his foot and walked steadily towards him step by step...

at this time.

Zhang Hanshu could no longer suppress his fear and slowly backed away, trembling...

Until his back was pressed against the wall, with nowhere left to retreat...

......

Chapter 447 Zhang Hanshu's Performance Moment

Zhang Junyu walked up to Zhang Hanshu, and with a "whoosh," placed a dinner knife against his neck. His eyes were fierce, and he forced out a sentence in a low voice: "Do you think I don't know what you're up to? You want me to use my shares as collateral? I know exactly what you're plotting!"

"Big...brother..."

Zhang Hanshu was pale and trembling, stammering, "What...what are you saying? I...I don't understand what you mean..."

"Don't you understand what I mean?"

Zhang Junyu repeated in a low voice, his eyes bloodshot, and a cruel smile curling at the corner of his mouth: "You're still pretending to be stupid with me. You've really made something of yourself now, daring to scheme against my shares."

Should I slit your throat to make you, you vile creature, give up those inappropriate thoughts?

"Big...brother..."

Zhang Hanshu's lips turned pale, and his breathing became rapid. Ignoring the sharp blade at his neck, he hurriedly waved his hands and protested, "No...that's not it, you've misunderstood me. How could I possibly have such thoughts..."

"Humph!"

Zhang Junyu didn't speak, but his expression turned even colder. He suddenly grabbed Zhang Hanshu's collar and tightened his grip on the knife.

Suddenly...

A bright red welt appeared on Zhang Hanshu's neck, with streaks of crimson blood seeping from the wound...

However...

Strangely...

The stinging pain in his neck did not plunge Zhang Hanshu into deeper fear; instead, it brought him to a slightly more sober state.

Or...

His survival instinct, ironically, unleashed his potential, making him realize something in an instant...

Just as Zhang Junyu believed he knew Zhang Hanshu well, Zhang Hanshu also knew his violent and insane older brother very well!

Knowing that Zhang Junyu looked like he might kill someone at any moment...

But in reality, it's mostly just bluffing!

Or...

He was testing the waters in this way!

Think of this...

Zhang Han's expression remained one of fear, but a hint of bewilderment flickered in his eyes.

He encouraged himself and said in a slightly trembling voice, "Big brother, I really have been thinking of our Babel Group wholeheartedly!"
