Resisting America's Retribution!

at all Even experienced drivers would have to feel anxious!And now it was the rainy season, with frequent landslides blocking the road for several days at a time. Just like last year at this time, Fuz...Chapter 25: Cheng Kangmei's Revenge!

Ever since the news spread that the Shangguan family's QJR International was to venture into the white goods industry, Cheng Kangmei could no longer remain calm. Over the past two months, Meilong Group's sales figures had been continuously declining; many intending buyers of appliances began to hesitate and wait for QJR International's new products.

"Shangguan Zheng, I f*** your grandma!" Looking at this month’s nationwide sales data, Cheng Kangmei threw his coffee cup on the ground in frustration, frightening his female secretary so much that she hurriedly started cleaning up.

Seeing the secretary kneeling to pick up fragments of glass and exposing a large expanse of her chest, Cheng Kangmei felt his ire rise within him. He immediately rushed behind her and yanked up her short skirt, intending to proceed with his advance.

The secretary did not show any signs of panic; it seemed she was used to this routine and even emitted a perfectly timed moan which appeared quite enjoyable on her face.

The man's panting and woman's seductive moans intermingled, making the spacious office seem like an amorous scene!

Her sexy secretary suit had been disheveled, and Cheng Kangmei’s breathing grew increasingly labored as he prepared for his final thrust.

Suddenly, two loud cracks were heard!

The floor-to-ceiling glass shattered into pieces all over the office.

And then the vase beside the door also instantly turned to fragments!

Just as Cheng Kangmei was about to launch his final assault on the sexy secretary, these two loud cracks caused him to go limp with fright.

The secretary's moan abruptly stopped; she looked fearfully at everything happening around her, unsure of what to do next. She even forgot to pull up her skirt!

True to his reputation as a seasoned businessman who has weathered many battles, Cheng Kangmei was the first one to regain composure and slowly pulled up his pants; a hint of dark clouds passed across his eyes.

The floor-to-ceiling glass had been punctured by a large hole, causing several more pieces to shatter. This was on the 28th floor with bulletproof glass!

What kind of ability would be needed to break through such bulletproof glass from this height

Cheng Kangmei continued inspecting his office; after breaking through the bulletproof glass, the projectile had landed on the vase, shattering it into pieces—this was a Ming Dynasty antique vase worth hundreds of thousands!

Cheng Kangmei rummaged through the debris and found a palm-sized box.

The flat rectangular box had sharp corners, felt very heavy in her hand, and shone with metallic luster, exuding a cold and menacing aura!

Cautiously picking up the box, after examining it for quite some time, she forcefully pried it open. The box snapped clean down the middle! A small piece of paper fluttered down.

The opponent had gone through all this trouble just to deliver a piece of paper! This thought chilled Cheng Kangmei's heart even more!

Unfurling the paper, as Cheng Kangmei read the words on it, she grew increasingly alarmed and infuriated. The muscles in her face began to twitch involuntarily.

The text on the paper was printed in standard Song typeface, making it impossible to trace handwriting.

"First: Don't think about doing anything against the上官family again. Second: This note is poisonous and will recur once a month."

Upon seeing this, Cheng Kangmei reacted as if she had encountered a venomous snake and hurriedly threw away the paper! She then noticed that where her fingers had touched the paper, they had turned a light shade of blue!

The area was neither painful nor itchy, just pale blue.

Clenching her hands tightly together, Cheng Kangmei tried to rub off the barely noticeable pale blue color but found that there was no effect at all! The color seemed embedded in her skin and wouldn’t come off!

Cheng Kangmei finally realized she had really been poisoned.

Moreover, he could be absolutely certain that whoever had fired the iron box into his office must have witnessed everything that happened between him and the female secretary. In fact, even all of his daily actions were probably under observation!

If at this moment the enemy had shot a bullet instead of sending an object, then perhaps he would be dead already!

Cheng Kangmei stopped the female secretary from calling for help to clean up the office. Walking over to where the shattered glass pane once stood by the window, she looked out and grew increasingly alarmed as well as chilled to the bone.

This was because Cheng Kangmei's office was on the twenty-eighth floor! On this side of Meilong Tower, there wasn't a single building that could reach up to the twenty-eighth story!

Then how did the opponent manage to fire this iron box into his office and poison him Could they possibly fly

Cheng Kangmei felt a chill run down his spine! What kind of ability did the opponent possess He was convinced that if the other party wanted to take his life just now, it would be an effortless task!

This person must have been dispatched by the Shangguan family!

Shangguan Family, once again the Shangguan Family!

Cheng Kangmei understood that within the industry, those with insight were all aware of his fear of the Shangguan Family's entry into the white appliance sector. However, only one person knew for certain that he had carried out a kidnapping against Shangguan Sishi—the head of the Qinghong Gang, Li Minghao!

Li Minghao! It must have been this guy who betrayed me!

Thinking back to Li Minghao's recent behavior, Cheng Kangmei became even more convinced of his thoughts. This head of the Qinghong Gang had always avoided meeting him and unilaterally terminated the smuggling cooperation with Miling Group, causing a loss of several hundred million yuan annually for the Qinghong Gang. What kind of incentive could have made Li Minghao make such a choice

There's no point in talking about loyalty; so-called loyalty is just when the stakes of betrayal aren't high enough. Cheng Kangmei took these words as his personal creed, always keeping himself on guard.

But he never expected that someone who constantly guarded against others would be outwitted by Li Minghao, whom he had been cooperating with for many years!

It must be that the Shangguan Family knew about my kidnapping action and offered Li Minghao enormous benefits to make him betray me!

"Li Minghao, I Cheng Kangmei may not be able to take revenge on the Shangguan Family, but am I incapable of outsmarting a gang leader like you This score, I will definitely settle it one day!"

Looking at his hand with the light blue mark and the shattered office filled with broken pieces, Cheng Kangmei's face was dark as night.

"Hey, Yu Ling, this is your Uncle Two. Yes, bring your people back and help me do something..."

Cheng Yuling was the son of Cheng Kangmei's eldest brother; from a young age, he had been mischievous and ruthless, often beating up his friends over trivial matters. He was considered the king of kids in Beijing’s alleys. Later on, it was said that he became a special forces soldier but ended up being brought to military court for violating regulations and killing several hostages during an operation. Using his comrades' cover, Cheng Yuling managed to escape and has since been living as a fugitive along the border between China, Myanmar, and Thailand, where he also leads a small mercenary unit.

For years, Cheng Yuling had dared not return inland; Cheng Kangmei, as his second uncle, continuously provided him with financial support. Of course, Cheng Yuling reciprocated by providing substantial smuggling profits to his uncle.

It couldn't be denied that Cheng Yuling held his second uncle in high regard. This respect wasn't merely due to Miling Group being the leading force in China's white appliance industry but also because it was this second uncle who provided him with significant financial aid during his most destitute and dangerous times, giving him a chance at a comeback and footing in the Golden Triangle.

Back then, even his father despised him; among all relatives, only his second uncle had reached out to help. Therefore, Cheng Yuling must return because he needed to repay his debt of gratitude to this second uncle. Regardless of whether what his second uncle asked him to do was right or wrong, he would do it without hesitation because for someone like him—a man on the run—reason and justice no longer mattered.

Due to the stringent inspections at the border between China and Myanmar, Cheng Yuling had no choice but to change his identity and travel with a group of fugitives who had exchanged their passports, taking a detour through Kazakhstan to fly directly to the capital of Huaxia!

Honestly speaking, Cheng Kangmei has been struggling in business for many years; he could achieve today's success only because he did many unsavory things openly and secretly. After all, any sense of morality can be discarded for the sake of maximizing profits. Cheng Yuling was a carefully nurtured force by Cheng Kangmei in secret, and also the one that gave him the greatest sense of security. Fortunately, this kid is extremely ruthless to begin with; he has not disappointed Cheng Kangmei. All the cash thrown into the Golden Triangle did not go to waste.

It was now time for him to reap his rewards.

Lee Myoung-ho, you betrayed me! I'll see who's more ruthless: you as a gang leader or me as an mercenary nephew!

The smoke curled around the room; the flickering embers of cigarette ends cast Cheng Kangmei’s face in alternating light and shadow, creating an indescribably oppressive and eerie atmosphere.

A week had passed. The pale bluish patches on Cheng Kangmei's hand neither expanded nor deepened, did not cause any pain or itchiness, nor showed any other symptoms. He consulted his personal doctor but received no clear diagnosis; he even began to forget about it himself.

However, today the two pale blue spots at the fingertips of his thumb and index finger started causing him some sensation!

The first symptom was a tingling itchiness that made Cheng Kangmei start scratching. But as soon as he scratched, it became more itchy; it felt like countless microscopic insects were crawling inside his flesh!

Cheng Kangmei rubbed and scratched those pale blue spots incessantly, but the itching did not lessen in the slightest; on the contrary, the itchiness intensified to the point where he could no longer control himself.

The two fingers had already been scratched until they bled. Yet, that pale bluish patch remained unerased, as if it had seeped into his bones!

Cheng Kangmei was forced to put his hand in icy water, but there was no effect! The intense itchiness seemed to burrow into his heart; the sensation of unease felt like when a fingernail scraped over blackboard as he was young.

Itch! The more it itched, the more he scratched, and the more he scratched, the more it itched!

Blood dripped from Cheng Kangmei’s two fingers. Finally, after ten minutes, the itchiness gradually subsided! But by then, he was so desperate that he almost wanted to cut off his fingers with a knife!

Cheng Kangmei could swear this was the longest and most agonizing ten minutes of his life; it felt like an eternity.

At this point, Cheng Kangmei truly began to fear!

This poison was unprecedented in its nature. Since they made him fall ill, their intention must be to control him. Yet nobody had contacted or blackmailed him so far; did that mean the enemy merely wanted to punish himwomen not deliberately trying to make him outcasts"Alright, it's time to board. In Hong Kong you're comrades; no fighting," Wang Zheng said with a bitter smile as the two women had been at each other...
