Chapter 191 Meeting
Chapter 191 Meeting
Reminders?
Zhang Ye couldn't help but smile.
He thoughtfully glanced at Peng Yue across from him.
He suspected that this guy had long anticipated Chen Xiaoyong would propose such a condition.
Now that the person was in Chen Xiaoyong's hands, the initiative in these negotiations naturally belonged to him.
From any angle, he would certainly demand to decide the meeting place himself, in order to gain an advantage.
Indeed, when Big Beard conveyed exactly what Chen Xiaoyong had said at Zhang Ye's signal, Peng Yue's face immediately revealed an expression suggesting he had expected this all along.
"What do you want to do?"
"Forgive my bluntness, Chen Xiaoyong is not a magnanimous person."
Zhang Ye's eyes held a growing interest as he looked at Peng Yue.@@@@
It was clear to anyone with eyes.
This negotiation was doomed to end in conflict from the start.
Hope for a peaceful resolution?
Difficult.
Almost impossible.
For both Chen Xiaoyong and Peng Yue, each saw the other as a mortal enemy, eager to eliminate the other at the earliest convenience.
Peng Yue claimed to want to save Peng San, but what was the reality?
Once the fighting started, his unfortunate brother would surely be the first to be sacrificed, or might not even live to see the day of negotiations.
After all, with the opportunity to annihilate Peng Yue, this captive's value naturally diminished.
Whether he could survive depended entirely on how cautious Chen Xiaoyong was.
After all, keeping Peng San was still a means to constrain the other side.
If tomorrow's battle was lost—
The situation would be different.
Indeed, as Zhang Ye had guessed,
after much consideration, Chen Xiaoyong decided to spare Peng San's life for the time being.
Having confirmed that Tian Gou had relayed the message, he immediately assembled his men and rushed to arrange the meeting place.
Meanwhile, the deal between Peng Yue and Zhang Ye was not yet finished.
"We'll definitely go."
"However, before that, there's another deal I want to discuss with Director Zhang."
"Ecological Park, right?"
————————
"Brother-in-law, is it necessary to bring so many people?"
Lu Yong, who was driving, looked puzzled. The convoy behind them had as many as a dozen vehicles.
Altogether, there were more than fifty people.
One-third of them were rookies freshly picked from below.
Another third were levied from several small settlements nearby.
"Boss, Chen Xiaoyong just sent someone back to inform me of the meeting place..."
"Yes, that's the place..."
"Understood..."
Zhang Ye put down the radio and looked up at the man opposite him.
"We've got the location."
"It's up to you to decide when we leave."
Peng Yue's expression of repressed anxiety instantly turned into wild elation.
"Hahaha!"
"Dammit, I've finally waited for this moment!"
He stood up as he spoke.
Gao Feng also rose quietly, but his gaze still lingered on Zhang Ye.
"Be careful on the road."
Hearing this, she felt a warmth in her heart and a slight smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
After saying goodbye to Zhang Ye, the two immediately gathered their men and headed to the rendezvous point.
Minghua Street was not far from there; it was less than half an hour's drive.
Even so, by the time they reached the target location, it was already past five in the afternoon.
The dim warehouse was filled with containers half-taller than a man.
Yet it was eerily quiet.
Peng Yue and his men carefully observed for a while and finally saw a few figures on the upper level walkway.
The eyes of the brothers filled with blood at the sight of the tall, thin man in the center, looking as if they wanted to devour him.
Before Peng Yue could say anything, the most hot-tempered Peng Si couldn't help shouting at the figures above:
"Chen!"
"I bloody swear!"
"Where's Peng San, release Peng San now!"
The others, upon hearing this, immediately started scrutinizing the group above, but no matter how they looked, they couldn't see Peng San.
What this situation implied, everyone understood all too well.
The other party had no intention of making an exchange, so of course, there was no negotiation.
Although everyone there was prepared for a fierce fight, when it came down to it, they all couldn't help but start to panic.
What was somewhat strange was that the opposing side seemed to have too few people.
Not just few.
Pathetically few.
Compared to the thirty-odd men that had come with Peng Yue, Chen Xiaoyong had only four or five men on full alert by his side. Read the latest on My Virtual Library Empire
Consequently, some couldn't help but wonder if the other side had indeed come to negotiate?
Otherwise, why would they bring so few people?
It was far too few.
Even less than the scattered boxes below.
