Chapter 24

Update Time: March 23, 2013

Zhang Yang was stunned; he had not expected such a situation.

It seemed that he had drunk too much and said some unpleasant things, which were heard by Wang Tianyu's girlfriend, leading to what happened afterward. As for Duan Fei, he was just a thug.

However, no matter who he was, Zhang Yang did not intend to let him off. As for this Wu Tian...

Zhang Yang squatted down and said in a low voice, "Wu, I know your name. I believe it won't be hard to spend some money and find out your address. If I were you, I would keep your mouth shut and pretend nothing happened. No one will know that I got information from you. Of course, you can call Duan Fei and report me. But remember, unless I'm dead, if I find out it was you who reported me, you're dead."

Wu Tian shivered, sensing the killing intent in Zhang Yang's words. It was not a false threat but real, tangible killing intent that made Wu Tian feel cold all over.

Wu Tian dared not say anything more and hurriedly shook his head, "I dare not, I dare not."

Zhang Yang stood up, opened his wallet, took out a stack of about ten hundred-yuan bills, and threw them at Wu Tian, saying, "Take it to see a doctor!"

Then he opened the car door, started the engine, and left the Little Fatty Hot Pot Restaurant.

Zhang Yang firmly remembered the name Wang Tianyu! Just because I said something wrong, to please a woman, he sent a group of gangsters to beat me up, and then had me locked up in a detention center!

Zhang Yang had never hated anyone as much as he did now. Why, why did he treat me like this just because he is a rich kid, a big shot, with a father who is the mayor, and can do whatever he wants?

Forget it, why should I forget it, do they really think I'm that easy to bully?

I, Zhang Yang, am not an ordinary person anymore!

Because of Wu Tian's words and Wang Tianyu's disregard for him, Wang Yue's words once again echoed in Zhang Yang's heart. This society, at its core, is pyramid-shaped. I want power, I want influence, I want to be a big shot, and I never want to be a pawn that can be manipulated at will again.

Zhang Yang had never been more eager to have power and influence.

Suppressing his anger, Zhang Yang did not go to find Duan Fei right away. Without a solid plan, he would not take risks. Who knows if Wu Tian would call Duan Fei? These gangsters are ruthless. If they knew I was coming to cause trouble, they would probably dig a pit and wait for me, and I would be in but not out.

There was also the surname Xiao that made Zhang Yang more cautious!

If Zhang Yang's memory served him right, the man who abandoned Wang Yue was surnamed Xiao. Could these two Mr. Xiaos be the same person? If they are the same person, then the grudge between me and this so-called Mr. Xiao, as well as Wang Tianyu, is even greater.

Back home, looking at the empty house, Zhang Yang took out his newly bought suitcase and packed his clothes inside. These clothes were all bought by Wang Yue when they went shopping together. As for his old clothes, they had long been thrown away.

After packing everything, Zhang Yang took out a cigarette, lit it, and leaned against the door to smoke. This place had once brought him countless joys, but it had also brought him unprecedented pain. He had long wanted to leave, but he still held onto a sliver of hope, staying here, waiting for Wang Yue to come back one day. It turned out that everything was just a joke.

After finishing the cigarette and the memories, Zhang Yang picked up the letter Wang Yue left, put it in the ashtray, and then lit a match, throwing it on top. He watched the letter burn away, completely, without any change in his expression. This was a ritual, a way to say goodbye to the past.

"Wang Yue, I don't know which of your words were true and which were false, but I still thank you. Without you, there would be no Zhang Yang today! Without you, I would still be that naive boy! Let everything be carried away by the wind. When we meet again, we will be strangers. The money can be considered my payment to you, as Niu Jinda said, to spend so little to enjoy you for so long, I still made a profit. Hahaha!" Zhang Yang started speaking softly, but later laughed wildly.

After laughing, watching the letter burn away, Zhang Yang dragged his suitcase and left the house where he had lived for more than three months, completely eliminating his last bit of attachment to Wang Yue.

Walking to the car, Zhang Yang put his luggage in the back seat, started the engine, and left. He didn't expect to have to move again. Wang Yue made him move and warned him that Niu Jinda was not a good person, probably to prevent him from knowing the reason for her departure.

If he guessed correctly, that recording was probably made when Wang Yue was talking to that man. This suggests that the reason for Wang Yue's departure, besides the reasons she gave, was also due to the pressure from the mysterious Mr. Xiao.

"Wang Tianyu, Mr. Xiao, I don't know if you are related. But now you are both my enemies. No matter what, Wang Yue was once my woman, and I will help her get revenge for the suffering she endured. As for Wang Tianyu, do you think I won't dare to take revenge on you just because you treat me like a nobody? Once I find out that it was you who did this, I'll make you wish you were dead. I won't let you go back to prison, how can I swallow this anger?" Zhang Yang said with a cold smile.

If I don't take revenge, I, Zhang Yang, am not a man!

Although Zhang Yang had no power or influence, he had the ability to see through things. He had a trump card. He believed that money was not a problem for him. If he wanted to, he could sell the gold bars and have about 20 million in assets. He couldn't buy lottery tickets in Jin City, but he could in other cities. He could drive across half of China, and even if he only made 5,000 yuan a day, he could still earn 150,000 yuan a month. And he wouldn't be that unlucky to never hit the jackpot.

He could also gamble. Originally, Zhang Yang had never thought of using his ability for evil, but now, to make money, to become a big shot, and not to be treated like a nobody, he no longer considered other options.

He had also come to terms with it. What is justice, what is evil, what is good, what is bad, it's all a matter of perspective, position, and who is speaking. If I were a billionaire today, would anyone dare to treat me like this?

Would Wang Yue dare to leave?

Would Niu Jinda dare to speak to me like that?

So the means don't matter, the result is what matters.

What I need to do now is become that big shot!

Zhang Yang casually found a hotel to stay in. He chose a luxury suite. He didn't want to be hard on himself anymore. If he had money, why not spend it? Why live like a monk? It seemed that the gold bars couldn't stay in the bank anymore; they needed to be converted into cash.

Zhang Yang walked into the bathroom, took a shower, and sat at the computer desk in a bathrobe. He skillfully turned on the computer and started searching on Baidu.

There was too much information today, and he needed to check and confirm it! He couldn't fight an unprepared battle. Whether it was Duan Fei, Niu Jinda, or the mysterious Mr. Xiao, Wang Tianyu, none of them were simple people. He needed to be well-prepared.
