Chapter 2846 Can We Turn the Tide Tomorrow?

"You're asking me? I'd like to ask you the same thing. Where did this Huayang Group come from? Such a big company has been in Shazhou for so long, and they even had everything agreed upon with Sun Yuanwei and his group beforehand. I can forgive you for not knowing, but I don't believe that Lixin Group doesn't know either."

"Is there anything in the entire Shazhou that the Lixin Group doesn't know? Especially something so big? The Lixin Group knew about it beforehand but didn't tell me a single word. What exactly does that mean?"

“Shao Hongli, I now suspect that you knew all along, but deliberately didn’t tell me, deliberately ignored this matter, and watched these projects being snatched away. You never really cared about these projects; your purpose was just to undermine Qin Feng. You’re in cahoots with Lixin Group to cheat me.” Ding Wenbo became more and more agitated as he spoke, and by now he had come to some realization.

"You're talking nonsense!" Shao Hongli was so angered by Ding Wenbo's retort that he blurted out a curse.

"I've only just heard the name Huayang Group from you. You have a lot of money in these projects. Do you think I have less money than you? Ding Wenbo, calm down and sit down to talk this out. What's going on? What's the point of yelling at me like this?" Today, Shao Hongli was even more rational than Ding Wenbo.

Ding Wenbo finally calmed down a bit and plopped down on the sofa, telling Shao Hongli in detail about the current situation of several projects.

After hearing this, Shao Hongli's face turned from pale to ashen, and he sat there smoking heavily.

"Where did this Huayang Group come from? Does it have the capability to undertake five projects?" Shao Hongli turned to ask Ding Wenbo.

"Isn't it a bit stupid of you to ask this question now? Can't you see that Huayang Group was invited by Qin Feng? It's a secret weapon that Qin Feng had laid in ambush long ago, just waiting for us to jump into the trap."

"Since this Huayang Group was arranged by Qin Feng long ago, do you think he wouldn't have the capability? The reality is clear: Qin Feng is now using this opportunity to take over all five of our projects in one go."

"Moreover, the consequences now go beyond just taking the money. Qin Feng's investigation was somewhat restrained before, but now that things have come to this point, he will definitely investigate these projects further and more thoroughly. Do you think he will let you and me off the hook?"

“Shao Hongli, I’ve heard about it too. Qin Feng easily resolved the road blockade you and Yang Zhijie caused. Now that he’s taken over the project, haven’t you noticed? It’s not that he’s fallen into our trap, but that we’ve fallen into his.”

"If we don't find a solution soon, we might really be facing certain death." Ding Wenbo said dejectedly.

Ding Wenbo is indeed smarter than Shao Hongli at times, but he is not as cunning as Shao Hongli.

Shao Hongli didn't speak immediately, taking deep drags on his cigarette. After a long while, he said, "Qin Feng is indeed insidious. It's as if he knew in advance about every step we took and prepared accordingly. If the situation is really as you say, then we are in a very passive and dangerous position now."

“But we are far from losing, and there is a way to turn the situation around,” Shao Hongli said.

"What method?" Ding Wenbo asked.

"The reason why the current situation is passive is because of the emergence of Huayang Group. If it weren't for Huayang Group, would Qin Feng and Sun Yuanwei dare to do this? Not only would they not dare to clear out the workers, but they would also have to obediently bow their heads, admit their mistakes, and beg our people to go back and continue construction."

"So the problem is easy to solve. Since the problem lies with Huayang Group, we just need to drive Huayang Group out of Shazhou," Shao Hongli said.

“I thought there was some good way. Get rid of them? How? They have Qin Feng and Sun Yuanwei behind them, and everything is legal and compliant. Even if there are some things that are not in accordance with the procedures, do you think we have the power we have now to get rid of Huayang Group from Qin Feng?” Ding Wenbo said irritably.

“We don’t have the ability right now, but just because we can’t get rid of him doesn’t mean Yang Zhijie can’t.” Shao Hongli flicked his cigarette ash.

Ding Wenbo was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Why should Yang Zhijie help us? If he really wanted to manage these projects, things wouldn't have turned out like this. Haven't you noticed? You've already been abandoned by Lixin Group."

“If I were completely useless, they would abandon me on their own, but right now... I still have value, at least until Qin Feng is brought down, they still need me.”

"Moreover, his interests are aligned with ours in getting rid of Huayang Group. If Huayang Group successfully takes over Yang Zhijie's plan, it will be completely ruined, and he will lose. Therefore, Yang Zhijie will not allow Huayang Group to take over the project smoothly," Shao Hongli said with a sneer.

Ding Wenbo thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "Indeed, that makes sense. Yang Zhijie is in the same boat as us this time, but how can he drive away Huayang Group? Can he really drive away Huayang Group by relying on his gang of thugs to beat and smash things?"

"This is Yang Zhijie's business. We shouldn't get involved, and it's best not to even ask," Shao Hongli said meaningfully.

Ding Wenbo only hesitated for a moment before understanding Shao Hongli's meaning: "Old Shao, are we really betting everything on Yang Zhijie?"

“Old Ding, don’t you understand the situation now? When Qin Feng first came, I thought he was just a little lamb, but I never expected that this kid was a wolf cub, and he’s growing up incredibly fast. In just a few months, he’s grown into a wolf that eats people without spitting out the bones.”

"Although I'm reluctant to admit it, the facts are clear: we are no match for him now. And as you've seen, Qin Feng came specifically for us this time. Do you think he'll let us go?"

"Relying on Lixin Group is our only way out now; we have no other choice. Moreover, as long as Lixin Group brings Qin Feng down this time, you and I can make a comeback."

"Old Ding, don't think about anything else now. Our only way to survive is to do everything we can to help Yang Zhijie get Qin Feng off his horse."

"Although it seems that Qin Feng resolved the road blockade today, and we are in a very passive position on the project side, that's not the case. The main purpose of blocking the road today was to create public opinion. Yang Zhijie's side is already preparing, and a huge public opinion will soon erupt, enough to burn Qin Feng to death."

"As for the project... as I just said, as long as we drive Huayang Group out, Qin Feng will lose everything. Moreover, Yang Zhijie has a big move planned for tomorrow."

"Let me tell you, Qin Feng is dead for sure. The situation will completely reverse by tomorrow. So don't worry, nothing will happen," Shao Hongli said, patting Ding Wenbo on the shoulder.
