156: 156. Settle old scores

The conference room was enveloped in a deathly silence! You could hear a pin drop!

Many mid-level managers who had joined the company later looked at the powerful, unfamiliar person who had suddenly burst in, somewhat confused and not understanding why.

However, the several company elders sitting in the front row of the conference table, upon seeing the newcomer's face clearly, stood up in utter terror as if they had seen a ghost!

Their fingers trembled as they pointed at Yu Tianxiong, their voices sharp:

"Yu... Yu Tianxiong?!"

"Impossible! How could you still be alive?! Didn't you already..."

"It... it's you! The Li Family's matter... could it be... was... was it you who did it?!"

Sounds of fear, trembling, and gasps of cold air rose and fell. They couldn't believe that the person who should have died was standing alive before them again.

Yu Tianxiong's cold gaze swept over everyone present, finally settling on the empty main seat at the head of the table. A cold smile played on his lips.

"What? Everyone seems very surprised to see me," Yu Tianxiong's voice was calm.

He slowly walked to the head seat and sat down directly, then his gaze fell on Director Wang. As if remembering something, he said with a sarcastic tone, "By the way, Li Wanrong should have told you that I was dead, right?"

He deliberately paused, then looked at the faces that had turned pale from guilt, and sneered, "It seems her words aren't very reliable."

"Allow me to introduce myself. Perhaps some newcomers don't know me yet. My name is Yu Tianxiong, the founder of Tengfei Mining, and the largest legal shareholder of this company."

His tone was calm but carried an undeniable authority, "For the past few years, I temporarily left the company due to some 'accidents.' Now, I'm back."

Hearing this, the entire room was in an uproar.

"Yu Tianxiong... is he really the legendary founder Yu Tianxiong? But... but didn't he already..."

"Oh my god... it's him who's returned..."

"The Li Family was wiped out last night, and he appears today... This... this implies..."

"Shh! Shut up if you don't want to die! Some things are best understood internally..."

Yu Tianxiong leaned back in his chair, his eyes like daggers, and said in a deep voice, "Li Fang and Li Wanrong, due to certain irresistible forces, are no longer able to fulfill their duties. From today onwards, Tengfei Mining will continue to be fully taken over by me. Does anyone present have any objections?"

The news of the Li Family's demise in a fire hung like a dark cloud over everyone's hearts. Now, Yu Tianxiong appeared, carrying the prestige of having annihilated the Li Family. Who would dare to object?

The conference room was silent, every person was as quiet as a cicada in winter, not daring to even breathe loudly.

"Very good, then it's time to settle old scores."

Yu Tianxiong looked at Director Wang and said, "Wang Yuanli, six years ago, you leaked my itinerary to the Li Family and conspired with them to frame me with such a huge accusation. You haven't forgotten that, have you?"

Hearing this, Director Wang's pupils trembled, and he broke out in a cold sweat, stammering, trying to say something.

Before he could argue, Yu Tianxiong's gaze turned to a middle-aged woman beside him, dressed in professional attire and trembling like a sieve: "Zhang Cuifang."

Zhang Cuifang let out an "Ah," her entire face instantly turning ashen white.

"You forged my equity transfer agreement and used your legal expertise to help Li Wanrong successfully steal most of the shares under my name. Afterwards, she gave you a considerable amount of compensation, didn't she?"

Then, his gaze fell on another man who was practically trying to shrink his head under the table: "Li Caiyu."

Li Caiyu shivered violently, almost slipping off his chair.

"You anonymously reported me to the local police and tax departments, slandering me for money laundering and illegal operations. Those 'conclusive' pieces of evidence, you arranged and fabricated them yourself, didn't you? What excellent methods."

The atmosphere in the conference room was terrifyingly oppressive. Those who didn't know the truth were also horrified after hearing Yu Tianxiong's words, never expecting such things to have happened back then!

Yu Tianxiong was like the King of Hell calling out names; with each name he uttered, his tone grew colder, and killing intent permeated the air.

Those who were called out could all tell that the other party wasn't just threatening; he had truly come for revenge.

Thinking of the Li Family's tragic fate, several of them were on the verge of wetting themselves.

This was the Golden Triangle! Domestic laws and order were virtually non-existent here! The rule of the jungle, where the victor takes all and blood debts are paid with blood, was the most brutal rule of this land!

Just as the atmosphere of fear reached its peak, Wang Yuanli was the first to break down. He fell to his knees with a "thud," crying and sniffling, "President Yu, I was wrong, I'm not human, I'm an animal!!! I was possessed by a demon back then, I shouldn't have done such a thing. Please spare me... I... I'm willing to offer all my family's assets to you... Please spare my life... let me live, please!"

With Wang Yuanli kneeling, Zhang Cuifang, Li Caiyu, and the other elders who had been called out could no longer hold on. They all followed suit, falling to their knees, their pleas for mercy and cries echoing, all expressing their willingness to offer their entire fortunes, just to live.

Yu Tianxiong looked down at them from above, his mood as still as an ancient well.

Just then, the conference room door was pushed open again.

Xiao Dao escorted a burly man, bruised and bleeding from the corner of his mouth, into the room.

Although the man was subdued, his eyes were still fierce. Seeing Yu Tianxiong in the main seat, he even dared to spit a mouthful of bloody saliva onto the ground, grinning sinisterly:

"Yu Tianxiong! Don't you dare get cocky! I chased you like a dog back then, making you piss your pants, and I can do it again! You just wait for me!!!"

Xiao Dao, without a word, delivered a powerful punch to his mouth, so forceful that it knocked out several teeth, leaving him with a mouth full of blood and unable to speak anymore.

"This guy is Li Fang's most loyal mad dog. He was ambushing outside earlier, trying to assassinate, and we caught him easily."

Yu Tianxiong's eyes narrowed slightly, he waved his hand, and said nonchalantly, "Since he's so loyal to Li Fang, then send him to reunite with him."

Xiao Dao immediately understood, a cruel smile appeared on his face. Like dragging a dead dog, he roughly dragged the still whimpering and struggling man out of the conference room.

Outside the door, a very short, muffled sound was heard, and then everything fell silent.

Inside the conference room, all the executives were terrified out of their wits!

Yu Tianxiong had declared the fate of resistors to them in the most direct way!

Then, Yu Tianxiong's gaze returned to the kneeling traitors, as if looking at a pile of garbage. He uttered two faint words: "Get out."

Wang Yuanli and the others felt as if they had received a great pardon, almost not believing their ears. After a second ofstunned, they scrambled and crawled towards the conference room door, fearing Yu Tianxiong would change his mind.

A foul smell of urine permeated the air; clearly, someone had been so scared they lost control of their bladder.

For Yu Tianxiong, simply killing these people would be too easy for them.

To squeeze all their wealth out of them in extreme fear, turning them into penniless, perpetually terrified stray dogs, was the most cruel punishment for them.
