Chapter 917: Chapter 856: Turmoil and Strife
After arranging these matters, Liu Hun returned to his room directly to begin energy transmission and healing; within an hour, Tianhe Company’s official website just issued a notice, and the entire internet exploded instantly.
"Regarding the recent suspension of the sale of Beauty Pills and Strengthening Erection Pills by Tianhe Company, the date of the next sale is to be determined. The reason is due to an assassination attempt on the former chairman of Tianhe Company by a member of a big family in Huaihai Province." This announcement was posted for less than ten minutes, and almost millions of netizens were openly discussing and leaving comments online, saying that some big families in Huaihai Province were shameless.
In the opinion of many netizens, because Tianhe Company conducted an open bidding some time ago, and some big families did not get the bid quotas, they must be dissatisfied, so they attempted to assassinate Liu Hun.
And they simply wanted to buy a bottle of Strengthening Erection Pill or Beauty Pill. Although Strengthening Erection Pill and Beauty Pill are more available now than before when Liu Hun was selling them, they are still in short supply.
Every time they go on sale, they are snatched up instantly. This is the terrifying aspect of Strengthening Erection Pill and Beauty Pill. If more Beauty Pills and Strengthening Erection Pills were sold, their chances of buying them would be much higher.
As a result, now Tianhe Company has suspended sales, and naturally, many netizens are dissatisfied, and those with the ability to purchase Strengthening Erection Pills or Beauty Pills are obviously not ordinary people.
Within half an hour, there were netizens claiming that the assassination was the work of one of the Du Family, Tong Family, or Shen Family in Huaihai Province; because in Huaihai Province, these three families had great conflicts with Liu Hun.
Once this news was exposed, the entire internet exploded again, and everyone pointed at these three families, scolding them as shameless, and also said that they would never buy any products from their companies in the future.
As a result, the Shen Family and Du Family were inexplicably dragged into the hatred by many netizens, and they were the most aggrieved.
As for the Tong Family, the culprit of this incident, besides anger, there was more regret.
In a villa in Huaihai Province, the old master of the Tong Family stared at a few middle-aged men in front of him with dead eyes, his face somewhat gloomy.
These middle-aged men faced with the old master’s expression at this time, all lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at him, fearing a scolding from him.
"I asked you to handle this matter, and what is the result now? None of our family’s top experts have returned, and Tianhe Company has issued such an announcement. Obviously, Liu Hun is not dead, but we have lost several of our family’s top experts. This matter, can any of you tell me why?" The old master of the Tong Family said angrily as he looked at his several sons.
Although he was the one who brought up this matter initially, he handed it over to them to handle, but they accomplished nothing, only made things worse.
Now, they have plunged the Tong Family into a dilemma.
"Dad, that kid Liu Hun has really gone too far with the things he has done recently, and according to the information we got, the experts we sent were supposedly capable of killing him; something unexpected must have happened mid-way. I don’t believe that kid can be so powerful at his age!" One of the middle-aged men stood up and answered the old master with gritted teeth.
"Foolish thing, are you still tangled in this problem now? Liu Hun is not dead, all netizens are pointing their fingers at us, and within two hours, a call from above will inquire about me directly. Tell me, how should I respond then?" The old master of the Tong Family slammed the table in fury.
"Dad, although this time there were unexpected events, the announcement published by Tianhe Company also dragged the Du Family and Shen Family in. I think they won’t let Liu Hun go either. If both the old masters of their families help, then this matter might not be so serious." The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, then said gravely to the old master.
Looking at what his eldest son was saying, the old master’s eyes were full of disappointment. He took a deep breath, then gently closed his eyes, and said calmly, "The Du Family has already secured a bidding spot. Although I don’t know who leaked the information online, surely because they have a bidding spot, everyone won’t point the finger at them, and as for the Shen Family, they don’t stand a chance of becoming any force anymore, let alone helping us. In this matter, even if they have conflicts with Liu Hun, they will quickly distance themselves from it. What’s left now is only our Tong Family; moreover, we still don’t know if Liu Hun has any evidence in his hands, otherwise, once he exposes it, our Tong Family will fall into endless trouble!"
After saying this, looking at his sons’ pale faces, the old master shook his head and said, "Temporarily suspend all company operations for a while, and we will talk about it later."
"Dad, if we really do this, wouldn’t it play right into Liu Hun’s hands? It would also indirectly admit to this matter." The middle-aged man was a bit shocked when he heard this.
"Then what do you think we should do now? Do you think Liu Hun is a fool? After the assassination attempt, he didn’t call the police or notify the old masters of the Zhang Family and Chen Family, but instead issued a notice through Tianhe Company. This is a warning to us; otherwise, we wouldn’t be sitting here peacefully now!" the old master of the Tong Family scolded.
"If he knows it was our Tong Family, then why didn’t he report it? It must be because he doesn’t have any evidence, which is why he’s acting this way!" the middle-aged man continued.
However, what he thought was clever was seen as extremely foolish by the elderly Tong.
"If only you were half as smart as Liu Hun, I’d be at ease handing over the family to you. But unfortunately, none of you are even half as clever as him!" the elderly Tong unmercifully scolded his sons.
"Dad, I..." the middle-aged man opened his mouth, full of grievance.
"Currently, De Yun Society and Hongxing Gang are being gradually devoured by that kid Wenhua, although the mastermind behind this is Liu Hun. We still cannot determine whether it’s sanctioned by that old fellow. If that old fellow and Liu Hun are together, our situation is going to become even more passive. Even though our company has momentarily halted some activities and is undergoing a period of rest, which indeed will stir some gossip, it is far better than losing everything; If we insist, the whole family may be completely ruined; Moreover, do you really believe Liu Hun would have no tricks left up his sleeve?" the elderly Tong looked at them, no longer angry as before, but filled with endless disappointment.
He hoped that this incident would serve as a lesson for his sons; at least the Tong Family wasn’t completely done for, and everything was still possible.
But he was always old, and no one could say for sure when he would leave this world; once he is gone, the whole family would still have to be handled by these men. If they cannot absorb this lesson, the elderly Tong could quite clearly foresee the outcome for the Tong Family.
This result was naturally not something he wished to see, so while he was still around, he hoped his sons would use their brains more and not blindly go looking for trouble with Liu Hun.
"After all, Liu Hun hasn’t presented any evidence, so he must have some apprehensions. If we can achieve this, not only would it give him an account, leaving him speechless, but also give an account to those above us—this is our stance. Since we did this, we have to bear the consequences of failure; and for the coming period, do not make any trouble for him; the ease with which he killed several top experts of the family, if it’s not him playing the fool, then he must have strong protection around him." The elderly Tong took a deep breath before slowly instructing them.
"Do we just let him swallow up De Yun Society like that?" the middle-aged man asked the elderly Tong with gritted teeth and reluctance.
Upon hearing his son’s words, the elderly Tong was no less unwilling. De Yun Society was something he spent years cultivating, and without its power, the Tong Family wouldn’t be able to act with impunity in Huaihai Province as before.
"We can only let him devour De Yun Society and Hongxing Gang’s forces for now. If this is ordered by that old fellow, we would have no voice, but regardless of the outcome, at least there is still a force that won’t let them grow big unchecked, and all we need to do is wait and watch the show." The elderly Tong said, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
"Dad, are you talking about Huabei Pharmaceutical?" Upon hearing the elderly Tong’s words, their hearts immediately stirred.
"Huabei Pharmaceutical, although they’ve transformed into a legitimate company over the years, you must never forget their original identity. And now, they would only be stronger than before, not weaker. Even if Liu Hun devours these two forces, against Huabei Pharmaceutical, he still won’t be their match; we just have to watch from the sidelines." The elderly Tong finished before closing his eyes gently, his aged face filled with a weary look.
Ever since they faced Liu Hun, from the beginning at the junior level to where they were now, they were continually suffering losses at Liu Hun’s hands. Although this wasn’t something they wished to see, they were now helpless.
They exchanged glances with each other, seeing the elderly Tong’s weariness and ready to leave to let him rest, when suddenly, an elderly man walked into the room, his face showing signs of anxiety.
"Han Bo, if you have something to say, just say it; if my prediction is accurate, it should be Liu Hun acting now. I’d like to see what means he will use against us." The elderly Tong opened his eyes and looked at the elder in front of him, a cold flash in his eyes.
"Old Master, within just less than an hour, several miss and young masters were threatened and terrified, and some even had a leg broken, among them also including..." The elder paused here, not continuing to talk, with worry evident on his face.
"Liu Hun!" Upon hearing this, the elderly Tong’s face filled with anger.
"How is Chan’er?" The middle-aged man looked at the elder with trembling body and asked.
"Miss Chan’er hasn’t been threatened; when I got there, I saw Miss Chan’er fiddling with a Mitsubishi Military Knife, and she told me it’s a gift from a mysterious big brother." The elder answered the middle-aged man truthfully in a low voice.
Hearing this, the middle-aged man couldn’t help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, thankful that his daughter was unharmed.
In the entire Tong Family, everyone treasured the little girl Chan’er the most; neither the elderly Tong nor the middle-aged man wanted anything to happen to Chan’er.
"Liu Hun, you’re indeed formidable; I’ve received this lesson and reminder, but I’d like to see how you will face Huabei Pharmaceutical next!" The elderly Tong said quietly.
