Mistaking My Sister-In-Law for My Wife After Getting Drunk!

Chapter 674: Chapter 674 Brook Family

“I can kill you!”

He Cheng’an’s eyes were red as he hugged Shao Dazhi’s shoulders and pulled out a toothbrush from his pocket.

He plunged the sharpened handle of the toothbrush viciously into Shao Dazhi’s neck, piercing his throat.

“You…” Shao Dazhi clutched at his neck, blood flowing from his mouth, his eyes wide with terror.

“The thing with my wife, it was Xu Yang who had someone tell me about it. Even though I know that doing this means Xu Yang is using me, I don’t regret it because being in this situation is all your fault.”

He Cheng’an was well aware of the consequences of his actions.

...

Although he knew Xu Yang wanted to use him as a pawn, to get rid of both him and Shao Dazhi at once, he truly had no regrets.

He had ended up in this situation because of Shao Dazhi; he could no longer contain the urge to kill him.

Shao Dazhi slowly collapsed to the ground.

He had thought that He Cheng’an couldn’t do much to him.

After all, this was a prison, and security was strict.

He didn’t think He Cheng’an had the guts to kill him.

He Cheng’an knowing about him and Chen Yaqian could only mean he’d have to bottle it up, at worst maybe get beaten up by him.

But he never expected He Cheng’an to be so ruthless, to go straight for his life.

He truly regretted it, wishing he had never gotten involved in kidnapping.

If he hadn’t done the kidnapping, there would be no trouble at all.

At worst his life wouldn’t be as good as it was before.

Now he had even put his life on the line.

But it was already too late for regrets, for there’s no such thing as a pill for regret in this world.

He fell to the ground, convulsing in pain.

The other prisoners, seeing this, quickly called for the guards.

The guards came over, promptly subdued He Cheng’an, and rushed Shao Dazhi to the infirmary.

But before making it to the infirmary, Shao Dazhi was dead.

He Cheng’an was also sentenced to death for the crime of intentional homicide.

That’s a story for another time.

Almost at the same moment He Cheng’an killed Shao Dazhi,

In the Jiang City Women’s Prison, Chen Yaqian was beaten into a vegetative state by another female inmate.

…

Xu Yang received the news immediately and simply smiled.

Finally, he had taken care of everything, eliminating all future threats and the possibility of retaliation.

Cao Xiaobo was almost scared stiff when he learned of these events.

He knew that only Xu Yang had the motive and the means to bring about such an outcome.

This also gave him a very direct understanding of the power of a billionaire.

He swore he would never provoke those with wealth and power for the rest of his life.

Just a flick of their fingers could easily crush him to death.

He also changed his arrogant and overbearing ways, becoming a low-profile and cautious ordinary man.

Undeniably, the incident had a major impact on him.

Of course, it wasn’t without its benefits.

Otherwise, with his kind of personality, he was bound to offend someone sooner or later and be dealt with, meeting a very miserable end.

…

In the blink of an eye, the day to head to the beautiful country arrived.

On Liu Qiangxi’s private jet, it took off from Jingxi International Airport, flying towards the beautiful country’s New Gold Mountain.

On the plane, there were Xu Yang, Wang Xiaocong, Liu Qiangxi, and Ma Huateng, along with their respective assistants.

The two assistants sat on one side, while Xu Yang’s group of four sat together, chatting about everything under the sun.

Wang Xiaocong, driven by curiosity, said, “President Liu, if I may ask, a few years ago in the United States you were accused by a woman who claimed that you had, you know, did something to her. The whole thing blew up. What was that all about?”

He was truly curious because back then it was a situation where both sides had their stories.

As for the investigation results from the US police, he found them unreliable. He had to ask the person involved to get the real story.

Xu Yang and Ma Huateng also turned their gaze toward Liu Qiangxi.

Xu Yang had only met Liu Qiangxi twice, and since they weren’t very close, it was not his place to inquire, but he was still somewhat curious.

Ma Huateng and Liu Qiangxi had a good relationship, but even so, it was an awkward subject to broach.

Every time they met, they either engaged in small talk or discussed business.

He was also curious about what had really happened.

Wang Xiaocong had voiced the question, which coincided perfectly with his own curiosity.

“Wang Xiaocong, had you not brought it up, it would have been better. Now that you’ve mentioned it, it just makes me angry,” Liu Qiangxi said indignantly, “I was framed and set up!”

Wang Xiaocong raised an eyebrow: “Who was trying to screw you over?”

Since it was just the few of them, and they were all planning to invest together, there seemed to be no reason for Liu Qiangxi to lie to them.

Moreover, being framed in the United States was hardly unusual.

The United States could always find various reasons to take someone down.

“It was a family from New York. Initially, this family wanted to buy into my Jingxi Group but made exorbitant demands that I refused to agree to.”

“Later, as my Jingxi Group grew in size and strength, they missed out on a huge opportunity to make money and started hating me for it, so they set me up with a woman!”

“Luckily, later on, I managed to call in some favors to finally get back home, otherwise I would have been in real trouble,” Liu Qiangxi said, gritting his teeth, still harboring deep resentment toward the incident.

Anyone who went through such an ordeal wouldn’t be able to stay calm and collected about it.

Even though the matter was long past, it still sparked anger when brought up again.

“Which family was it?” Wang Xiaocong asked curiously.

“The Brook Family,” Liu Qiangxi said bitterly.

“I’ve heard of this family; they’re supposedly one of the four big families in New York, to frame you over something like that, that’s just despicable,” Wang Xiaocong said.

The Brook Family was one of the four major families in New York, with one of their industries being the financial sector.

They looked for investment opportunities globally and would invest if they found something promising.

“Tell me about it. It’s not that I didn’t allow them to invest; the issue was their demands were too steep. I could not agree. I let it go without making a fuss. If we couldn’t cooperate, that’s okay. We wouldn’t be partners, but we wouldn’t be enemies either. I never imagined they would pull a stunt like this,” Liu Qiangxi said.

“You mentioned pulling strings? What kind of strings? The Brook Family is one of the big four in New York; they’re no small fry. Ordinary connections wouldn’t be enough. Do you have connections in the United States powerful enough to counter the Brook Family?” Wang Xiaocong inquired further.

“I reached out to the Hongmen,” Liu Qiangxi said. “It is an organization established by the Chinese, and it has branches across the entire United States, with its headquarters in New York. In every state there is a branch of the Hongmen, and their strength is quite formidable. Through an introduction, I got in touch with the Hongmen, spent quite a sum of money, and finally resolved the situation.”

“I see,” Wang Xiaocong nodded in understanding.

Xu Yang and Ma Huateng were also aware of the Hongmen organization.

The strength of the Hongmen was extraordinary, far surpassing any of the big families in New York.

With the intervention of the Hongmen’s leaders, certain things could indeed be accomplished.

Of course, this was only because Liu Qiangxi was willing to spend the money; otherwise, the Hongmen would not have helped. It wasn’t like they would help just because a Chinese person was in trouble.

That was how the Hongmen operated when they were first established; they would extend a helping hand whenever a Chinese person faced difficulties.

It is precisely for this reason that the Hongmen were able to rapidly grow in the United States, eventually becoming a formidable force.

However, as times changed and society developed, the Hongmen gradually turned into an interest-based organization.

Without the incentive of profit, the Hongmen would not involve themselves in such matters.

It’s similar to a hospital claiming to save lives and provide aid, but that presupposes you have the money.

Otherwise, you could die in a hospital, and no one would care about you.
