Chapter 422: Ingenious Appropriation and Seizure

Recently, Tang Jinglong had people investigate Xu Yang’s situation and was preparing to take action.

When Tang Jinglong heard there was trouble on Ye Taian’s end, he naturally wasn’t pleased.

Ye Taian quickly said, "Young Master Tang, it’s not that I’m causing trouble, but Jiangcheng Business College expelled my son. I had no choice but to pull some strings..."

Before he could finish, Tang Jinglong cut in, "What did you say? Your matter is related to Jiangcheng Business College?"

Ye Taian hurriedly replied, "Yes, my son was studying at Jiangcheng Business College, and after making a small mistake, he was expelled by their new shareholder, Xu Yang, who is the owner of Jiangdi Lao. I had no choice but to take action against Xu Yang, but after two moves, both were neutralized by Xu Yang.

This guy is stronger than I thought, and I was considering asking for your help to save face. Otherwise, my reputation in Jiangcheng will be damaged, which is very bad for future work."

Tang Jinglong sneered, "Interesting, I was just preparing to deal with him."

Ye Taian was taken aback, "Young Master Tang, you’re preparing to deal with Xu Yang?"

Tang Jinglong said, "Correct, this guy doesn’t take me seriously, snatched a company I had my eye on, and even sent one of my guys to prison. These past few days I’ve been investigating his background, found out he and Jiang Yuheng acquired Jiangcheng Business College, and was planning to start there. I really didn’t expect that because of your son’s issue, you’d clash with him."

Ye Taian’s eyes lit up, "Young Master Tang, you mean to say you’re planning to move against Jiangcheng Business College?"

This was the implication of taking Jiangcheng Business College for himself.

Such deeds were commonplace for Tang Jinglong.

Through cunning and brute force, Tang Jinglong’s assets had ballooned rapidly.

Otherwise, how could Tang Jinglong become a billionaire within eight years?

Tang Jinglong said, "Yes, everything is planned, and we’re ready to move."

Ye Taian said happily, "That’s great, as long as you become a shareholder of Jiangcheng Business College, my son can go back to school."

Tang Jinglong said, "Hmm, get ready and wait for my news."

...

That day.

Fang Bingqing arrived in Jiangcheng, first visiting Yang Xin Investment before going to the hospital to treat Zhao Yuxin.

After the acupuncture treatment, Fang Bingqing said, "All right, your wife should be awake within a week."

Xu Yang expressed his gratitude, "Thank you."

Fang Bingqing smiled, "No need for thanks, you’ve paid me."

Fang Bingqing had come to treat Zhao Yuxin under certain conditions.

The condition was a ten percent share of Jiangdi Lao.

Xu Yang agreed without a second thought.

Not to mention ten percent— Xu Yang wouldn’t hesitate even if he had to give Fang Bingqing the entirety of Jiangdi Lao.

After all, only Fang Bingqing could save Zhao Yuxin.

And what Xu Yang least lacked was wealth.

While Jiangdi Lao could become a hundred-billion hotpot empire, he had the system, and he would have many more opportunities to make money in the future. He wasn’t concerned about these things.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Fang Bingqing left.

...

After seeing off Fang Bingqing, Xu Yang received a call from Ma Yangrong.

Ma Yangrong said, "President Xu, according to the information we’ve gathered, it seems Ye Taian doesn’t plan to stop."

Xu Yang’s eyebrows lifted, "Not stop? What else does he intend to do? He’s tried twice already, can’t he see my strength?"

Ma Yangrong said, "We don’t know what he plans to do yet, but our guess is that he’s likely to seek help from Tang Jinglong, who has also arrived in Jiangcheng today."

Xu Yang replied, "I know that, Tang Jinglong is with Fang Bingqing, aren’t they? The two are a couple. It’s normal for him to come with her while she’s here to treat my wife."

Ma Yangrong was also aware of the relationship between Tang Jinglong and Fang Bingqing. The last time they dealt with Duan Shaohui, they also checked on the two of them.

Ma Yangrong said, "I’m not too clear on this, but I don’t think it’s that simple. Think about it, Ye Taian has tried to mess with us twice and failed to do so. A man like him would definitely value his face and wouldn’t just let it go quietly, especially with someone like Tang Jinglong backing him up.

Moreover, at the last charity gathering in the provincial city, Tang Jinglong had pleaded on behalf of Duan Shaohui. You didn’t give face to Tang Jinglong, so I suspect Tang Jinglong might also want to deal with you."

Xu Yang was silent for a moment before saying, "What you said makes sense. Keep an eye on the companies under us, and tell me promptly if there’s any unusual situation."

Ma Yangrong replied, "Alright."

The next two days passed without incident.

Fang Bingqing sent Xu Yang a message, saying she had spent two days in Jiangcheng and was now back in the provincial city, hoping to meet again in the future.

Xu Yang had a rather good impression of Fang Bingqing.

Continue your adventure at empire

Xu Yang replied that when Zhao Yuxin woke up, he would personally go to the provincial city to express his thanks to Fang Bingqing.

After replying, his phone rang. It was a call from President Zhou.

Upon answering, he heard President Zhou’s anxious voice: "President Xu, there’s been an incident. Please come to the school, and, by the way, call President Jiang too. Both of you are shareholders of the school."

Xu Yang asked, "What happened?"

President Zhou said with a wry smile, "It’s not clear over the phone; better to discuss when you get here."

Xu Yang’s gaze flickered: "Okay, Jiang Yuheng and I will be right over."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

After hanging up, Xu Yang called Jiang Yuheng: "I just received a call from the principal of Jiangcheng Business College, saying there’s been an incident and asked us to come over."

Jiang Yuheng said, "I’m abroad right now, so just handle whatever it is with full authority. I’m not concerned."

Xu Yang replied, "Alright then."

With the person still abroad, that was all that could be done.

So, Xu Yang visited Zhao Yuxin in the hospital room, instructed his parents on a few matters, and then left the hospital to head to Jiangcheng Business College.

He arrived at President Zhou’s office.

Upon entering, he found not only President Zhou in the office but also others.

Looking at the uniforms of these people, there were police officers, court officials, and business elites.

One of them was even Tang Jinglong, the eldest son of the Tang Family, whom Xu Yang recognized.

Xu Yang was very puzzled and couldn’t understand what all these people were doing here.

Could it be that Tang Jinglong was here to cause trouble?

Tang Jinglong displayed that refined smile on his face: "President Xu, long time no see."

Knowing Tang Jinglong’s character well, Xu Yang was very averse to that smile.

Moreover, he instinctively felt that Tang Jinglong’s presence here couldn’t be anything good.

He gave Tang Jinglong a cold glance and was just about to speak.

At that moment, his phone rang again—it was Ma Yangrong calling.

After picking up, he heard Ma Yangrong’s voice: "President Xu, I’ve just received a report from the people below that Tang Jinglong is about to make a move to seize Jiangcheng Business College!"

Xu Yang’s gaze sharpened: "Okay, I get it. Prepare yourselves."

After hanging up, he turned to Tang Jinglong: "What are you trying to do?"

Tang Jinglong said with a smile, "President Xu, let the court official tell you."

A court official approached Xu Yang, presented a court ruling, and then said, "Mr. Xu, Jiangcheng Business College was previously owned by a person named Geng Yu. After Geng Yu died of an illness, since he had no family and no heir was found, the court took the college as collective property and held a public auction. Jiangcheng Business College then ended up in the hands of a person named Li Bo.

Later, Li Bo sold his shares to Li Jin and a few others. These people have recently sold their shares to you and Mr. Jiang Yuheng."

Xu Yang was cognizant of these details, as the school had mentioned them when he first came to scout it out.

Xu Yang asked, "So what? Why are you telling me all this?"
