Chapter 95

Gao Yang opened the car door and got out. Xu Xian, standing in front of him, was wearing light blue high-waisted denim shorts, a pale pink semi-transparent chiffon blouse, and a pair of silver high-heeled sandals, which made her not seem short at all in front of Gao Yang!

"You're really tall," Gao Yang thought to himself.

"Ah!" Xu Xian, who had been cautious, clearly recognized Gao Yang. After a slight bow, she said softly, "Mr. Gao, hello."

"Sorry, I didn't recognize you," Gao Yang said, scratching his head awkwardly. He had been in a good mood that morning and had whistled playfully when he saw a beautiful woman taking his parking spot. He didn't expect it to be someone he knew!

"My image!" Gao Yang thought helplessly.

Xu Xian turned to look at the parking spot marker. "Ah!" she exclaimed, covering her mouth. She quickly turned and bowed to apologize, "I'm really sorry, Mr. Gao. I parked in the wrong spot, I'm really sorry!"

"Hehe, it's fine," Gao Yang said, waving his hand and smiling.

Xu Xian's parking spot was right next to his. After they both parked, Gao Yang asked softly, "Do you live here too?"

"Um," Xu Xian replied softly, but her slightly furrowed brow showed that she was distracted, as if she had something on her mind.

"Do you need any help?" Gao Yang asked as they entered the elevator.

"Ah! What?" Xu Xian, who had been lost in thought, quickly responded.

Gao Yang rubbed his temples in frustration and pointed to the bag in Xu Xian's hand, saying, "I mean, do you need me to carry it for you? I just want to show some gentlemanly manners!"

"Sorry, Mr. Gao, I was thinking about something!" Xu Xian said hurriedly.

"Oh," Gao Yang stroked his chin. What happened at S.M. Entertainment? This time, it should be for a public appearance, but neither Xiao Shuijing nor SNSD went. And it seems Jessica has something going on too!

Gao Yang is the boss of S.M. Entertainment! Although he doesn't like to interfere with the daily management of his subordinates, it's clear that something is happening now!

The elevator went up quickly and soon reached Xu Xian's floor. Before leaving, Xu Xian bowed seriously to apologize and thanked Gao Yang again for his help at the last party.

Gao Yang smiled and said, "We're neighbors. If you want to thank me, why don't you treat me to a meal sometime?"

Back in his room, Gao Yang changed into slippers, sat on the sofa, and thought quietly for a while. He then took out his phone and called Jin Yongnan.

"What's happening at the company? Neither Xiao Shuijing nor SNSD have any public appearances?" Gao Yang asked in a serious tone.

Jin Yongnan paused and said softly, "Boss, I just got the news. Jessica seems to have some issues with her relationship. Miss Zheng Xiuyan and the other members of SNSD are comforting her."

"Oh," Gao Yang said, touching his nose lightly. "I see. Well, give them a break. The company should care more about its artists. Got it?"

Jin Yongnan responded affirmatively, and Gao Yang hung up. Gao Yang doesn't need the money S.M. Entertainment makes. He bought the company to better take care of Xiao Shuijing.

Gao Yang isn't a profit-driven businessman. Making money isn't the most important thing to him. He mainly focuses on taking care of the company's artists and employees. As for Jessica's personal issues, he has no interest in getting involved.

Gao Yang leaned back on the sofa, bored, and watched TV. The morning shows were all news, ads, and boring dramas.

After a while, Gao Yang felt his eyelids getting heavy. He looked at the bright weather outside, turned off the TV, and activated the time travel to 1925.

The first to report was Yang Dong, who had just returned to Shanghai. Yang Dong's mission in the North was completed very well, and Gao Yang was very satisfied, praising him highly.

Gao Yang stroked his chin and said softly, "You've worked hard. Go to the French Consulate first. Negotiate with the French about Mr. Huang's case. Get them to issue a statement removing all of Mr. Huang's positions! Discuss the specific terms, and then take a good rest after you're done."

Yang Dong, who didn't take the Jinpu Line to the North but traveled by warship both ways, looked a bit pale from seasickness.

Yang Dong smiled and responded, saluted, and left.

After Yang Dong left, Gao Yang read the detailed report on the operation to capture Mr. Huang submitted by Zhang Xinghai.

In the report, Zhang Xinghai took full responsibility for the casualties of the soldiers, emphasizing how Zhao Kaishan held onto Mr. Huang's pajama pants until the end and the bravery of the soldiers.

Gao Yang read the entire report carefully, and his face turned so dark it looked like it could drip water!

With a loud "Bang!" Gao Yang slammed his hand on the table. "Bring Zhang Xinghai to me!"

Gao Yang felt his good mood completely ruined! Thirty fully armed elite veterans ambushing a group of thugs resulted in over a third of them being casualties!

Fortunately, these were all well-trained veterans. If they were new recruits, the entire unit would have been decimated! How many soldiers would have died if Zhang Xinghai led them into battle?

And if it weren't for the soldier named Zhao Kaishan's desperate fight, Mr. Huang might have escaped! What the hell kind of battle is this!

Fuming, Gao Yang paced back and forth in his office, smoking irritably. Zhang Xinghai, who had been staying at the military command post after handing Mr. Huang over to the military police, turned pale when he received the notification. He straightened his uniform, took a deep breath, and walked to Gao Yang's office.

"Reporting! Zhang Xinghai reporting as ordered!" Zhang Xinghai shouted loudly from outside the door.

"Get in here!" Gao Yang shouted angrily.

Zhang Xinghai pushed the door open, walked into the office, stood at attention, and saluted.

Gao Yang picked up Zhang Xinghai's report and threw it on the desk, shouting, "How did you graduate from Baoding Military Academy! How did you get first place at the Military Academy! Is this your report card?!"

Zhang Xinghai's eyes twitched, and he said, "Reporting to the Governor, all the mistakes in this operation are my responsibility! I am willing to accept any punishment!"

"Hmph!" Gao Yang sat down in his chair, looking at Zhang Xinghai and said in a serious tone, "You take responsibility? Will the dead soldiers come back to life?"

Zhang Xinghai's lips trembled, and there was a glimmer of tears in his eyes. He bit his lip and remained silent.

Seeing Zhang Xinghai's remorseful look, Gao Yang's anger slowly subsided. He lit a cigarette and asked, "Tell me, what happened?"

Zhang Xinghai swallowed and said in a hoarse voice, "I was too overconfident. The previous operations went too smoothly, and I completely underestimated those thugs. I was only thinking about not letting Mr. Huang escape. I didn't set up any fire support and just charged in. We were ambushed."

"What happened after the ambush?" Gao Yang asked in a serious tone.

Zhang Xinghai clenched his teeth and continued, "I was completely flustered! Seeing my fallen comrades, my mind went blank, and I just wanted to avenge them! I didn't think about fire support at all and just charged out to fight the enemy. More of my comrades..." He couldn't hold back the tears and started to sob.

Gao Yang sighed deeply and said in a serious tone, "You, you! I always thought you were doing well! I didn't expect this..."

He stubbed out his cigarette, stood up, picked up the report, and handed it to Zhang Xinghai, saying in a serious tone, "Go back to the academy and study! When you're ready, you can graduate."

"Yes!" Zhang Xinghai stood up straight, saluted, and left.

Gao Yang sat back in his chair, stroked his chin, thought for a moment, and then got up to go to where Mr. Huang was being held.

Mr. Huang had already woken up and was being held in a cell at the military command post. His injuries were left untreated, and he could only hug his ankle and groan in pain. Mr. Huang felt a vague sense that his end was near!

The door opened, and Mr. Huang, gritting his teeth, stopped groaning and turned to look at the door. Two military police officers walked in, followed by a tall figure.

"Ah!!!" Mr. Huang recognized the person and couldn't help but shout.

One of the military police officers pulled out a gun from his holster and hit Mr. Huang with the butt, knocking out a few teeth and blood. Mr. Huang fell to the ground, coughing up blood, and his face swelled up!

After a few breaths, he turned to look at Gao Yang, his eyes filled with despair, and said hoarsely, "Why!!!"

I had always suspected it was the military, but I couldn't understand why!

Gao Yang walked up to him, hands behind his back, squatted down, and looked at Mr. Huang, smiling lightly, "Didn't you see the letter I sent you?"

"Letter?" Mr. Huang was confused, looking at Gao Yang dumbly. Gao Yang's lips curled slightly, and he patted Mr. Huang's face, his eyes cold, "Spit! This isn't over!"

"Boom!" Mr. Huang immediately understood, feeling as if he had been struck by lightning. He was completely stunned! How could it be him! How could it be him!!!

Looking at the dazed Mr. Huang, Gao Yang stood up, clapped his hands, and said lightly, "You've done too many evil deeds. How many people would love to eat your flesh and drink your blood! Do you think being a dog for the French gives you the right to do whatever you want?"

Gao Yang's lips curled slightly, and he said with a light smile, "Today, I will represent the moon and eliminate you!"

Yang Dong's negotiations with the French were quickly successful. After promising over a million dollars in orders, the French happily issued a statement that afternoon, citing a lack of integrity to remove Mr. Huang from all his positions in the French Concession.

That afternoon, in the military command post of Shanghai, the military court of the 6th Division tried Mr. Huang. There was no defense, no witnesses, no evidence, and no procedures.

The court directly sentenced Mr. Huang to death for drug trafficking, human trafficking, intentional murder, operating an illegal organization, extortion, and selling out national interests, among dozens of other charges! The sentence was to be carried out immediately!

The entire trial lasted less than ten minutes. Mr. Huang, who was in a dazed state, did not say a word throughout. He was hunched over, trembling all over, and his eyes were vacant, a far cry from the top tycoon who once dominated Shanghai.

Before the execution, Mr. Huang requested a drink. The military police captain granted his request. After drinking, Mr. Huang looked up at the bright sky, sighed deeply, and softly hummed a children's song from his childhood.

A few gunshots later, the once great tycoon, who had dominated Shanghai for decades, was gone!
