Chapter 1257 - Go to Donghai

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

This old-fashioned breakfast, which was fried dough sticks, fried cakes, douhua 1, and soy milk, didn’t make much money because the price was cheap. It didn’t earn as much as those porridge stores, so people stopped selling them when they had a store. However, this family had no intention of making a fortune; they were satisfied as long as it was enough for them to live.

After they moved, they told Yang Ming the place they moved to through Lin Zhiyun because the owner of the breakfast booth remembered that Yang Ming’s friend liked to eat old-fashioned fried cakes.

These people knew that the reason they could get so much compensation for the demolition was because of Yang Ming’s relationship. If it weren’t for Yang Ming’s company taking over Wei Jin’s company, they wouldn’t get so much money, so they were very grateful to Yang Ming.

Yang Ming knew the address, but he had never been there. This time it was good that he could just bring along Xia Xue.

This shop was called the Old-fashioned Breakfast Shop. The location wasn’t very good; it wasn’t located in the downtown area but in a relatively remote community.

The car was parked at the door of the breakfast shop. It attracted some people’s attention. The residents who came here to eat all lived nearby. Their income wasn’t very high. Now there was a luxury parked here. Of course, they would be surprised.

Yang Ming and Xia Xue got off, walking into the breakfast shop. The breakfast shop owner, Old Wu, was busy frying dough sticks. When he looked up and saw Yang Ming, he quickly put down his work, handed the work to his staff, and walked out personally. “Mr. Yang, you are finally here! We always wanted to thank you in person, but there was no chance…”

“Boss Wu, don’t be courteous. My friend and I are here to have some breakfast. You can go back to your work!” Yang Ming smiled.

“Please have a seat.” Boss Wu cleaned and wiped a table, then he said, “What do you want to eat? I will cook it for you.”

“Just serve some fried cakes and soy milk,” said Yang Ming.

“Alright!” Boss Wu responded and went to work.Find authorized novels in NovelFull,faster updates, better experience,Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting.

The guests in the store were a bit baffled. When did Boss Wu know such a rich man? But they did not ask much.

The fried cakes were served very quickly. It was newly fried by Boss Wu; the soy milk was also warm.

When Xia Xue saw the fried cakes, her eyes gleamed. Especially when they were made specially by Boss Wu, they were softer and sweeter. Xia Xue was enjoying it.

After eating, Boss Wu didn’t want to accept Yang Ming’s money when Yang Ming wanted to pay. He insisted, “Mr. Yang, you have taken care of me during the demolition. This breakfast is nothing!”

Since Yang Ming saw that Boss Wu said so, he had no other way. He knew he couldn’t reject the boss’ kindness, so he also said, “Then, thanks for the meal; I will take it as your treat this time.”

“This what I should do.” As Boss Wu spoke, he took a bag of fried cakes that he had prepared beforehand and handed it to Yang Ming. “This is what I especially prepared for you. Please accept it.”

Yang Ming knew Boss Wu’s kindness. This thing was not worth much, so Yang Ming accepted Boss Wu’s generosity. “Thank you!”

Outside of the breakfast shop, Xia Xue smiled and said, “Your name is quite famous; even the boss here is so good to you!”

“Isn’t it because of the demolition? Shanty Town’s demolition was handed over to my company, so they got a lot of compensation. Of course, they are grateful,” said Yang Ming.

“It turned out to be the case.” Xia Xue didn’t know much about Yang Ming’s company, but she didn’t ask Yang Ming more about it.

After taking Xia Xue to the police station, Yang Ming returned to Zhang Zhishen’s residence in the Huashang District.

Zhang Zhishen and Xiao Qi were eating porridge. When Yang Ming came back, Zhang Zhishen immediately greeted, “Mr. Yang, have you had breakfast? Xiao Qi cooked porridge; it’s quite nice. Do you want to eat together?”

“I have eaten; you guys can eat.” Yang Ming waved his hand and said, “How is the voodoo?”

“I am cultivating it,” Zhang Zhishen said. “I’ll take a look after breakfast.”

Yang Ming called Bao Sanli and asked him to send a car to pick up Jing Xiaolu to take her to school; Bao Sanli naturally agreed.

Although Yang Ming told Bao Sanli to send a car, Bao Sanli didn’t dare to neglect. He personally drove to the Song Jiang International Hotel. The lobby manager was shocked when he entered the lobby. The lobby manager quickly greeted, “President Bao, you are here? Is there anything the matter?”

The lobby manager saw that Bao Sanli suddenly came to the hotel in the early morning, and he was in fear and trepidation. He also heard about the company’s incident. He wasn’t sure if Bao Sanli was here to make an inspection of the hotel.

“It’s nothing. I’m here to pick up Miss Jing to go to school,” said Bao Sanli.

Bao Sanli called Jing Xiaolu as Miss Jing rather than Assistant Jing. This also highlighted the Jing Xiaolu’s identity; she wasn’t as simple as an assistant. The vice president of the group, Bao Sanli, had to pick her up personally… so Yang Ming’s identity could be imagined.

The lobby manager quickly went to the upper floor and asked Jing Xiaolu to come down. At this moment, Jing Xiaolu just received a call from Yang Ming, and Yang Ming told her that he had already asked someone to pick her up. Although Jing Xiaolu slightly was disappointed with Yang Ming not coming to pick her up personally, Jing Xiaolu also knew that Yang Ming will be very busy these next two days. She could not force anything.

When the lobby manager came up to look for Jing Xiaolu, she had already finished bathing and dressed. When the lobby manager came up, she followed him downstairs together.

Outside the elevator, Jing Xiaolu saw Bao Sanli standing in the hotel lobby at first glance. She was a little excited. Yang Ming said that he would send someone, but she did not expect Bao Sanli to come in person!

How glorious it was for her if she were sent to work by Ban Sanli. Her colleagues would definitely look at her differently. However, Jing Xiaolu knew that Yang Ming didn’t like her style of showing off, so she put a stop to this idea.

Otherwise, even if Jing Xiaolu asked Bao Sanli to take her to school and pick her up to go to the company in the afternoon, she believed that Bao Sanli would agree with it.

Nothing else was happening in the morning. At noon, Zhang Zhishen shouted excitedly, “Brother Yang! I made it; the voodoo is done; it can be used!”

“Oh? That’s great!” Yang Ming was still worried whether the voodoo could be cultivated by the time he went to Donghai in the afternoon. If Zhang Zhishen couldn’t cultivate it, Yang Ming would have to return to Song Jiang to get the voodoo after going to Donghai. However, now it seemed that he didn’t have to bother about it.

“These voodoo can be made into around thirty doses. Is that enough?” Zhang Zhishen asked, “If it’s not enough, I’ll make more quickly.”

“Thirty doses? That should be enough!” Yang Ming thought, The people who I want to act against are the people around Tian Long and the higher-ups of the company. The people below will be following their superiors’ instructions. Therefore, these thirty doses are enough. I may not even need to use all of them.

“Well, how much do you need to prepare for the antidote?” Zhang Zhishen nodded and asked.

“Antidote? Is it the suppressant or the antidote?” asked Yang Ming.

“How much do you need for each of them?” asked Zhang Zhishen.

“Cultivate more suppressants, and the antidote is not needed,” said Yang Ming. Since these people had betrayed once, it was also possible for them to betray a second time. To prevent a second occurrence, the only way to put an end to it is to put their life and death in their hands so that they wouldn’t dare to betray again.

Jing Xiaolu was quite clever sometimes; this was indeed a once-and-for-all idea.

Zhang Zhishen configured the suppressant for the voodoo, then packaged it with the voodoo and gave it to Yang Ming. Although cultivating voodoo was simple, the cultivating method was different for each person. The proportion of poisons that was used was different, too, so the antidote wasn’t universal. If one took the antidote indiscriminately, it might lead to death.

Therefore, even if these people found other people who know voodoo, it was also impossible to easily cure this voodoo, unless it was a grandmaster of voodoo like Lan Ling’s grandmother or Elder You, and, of course, Ma Xiaoyao.

“I will have to go out for the next few days. You have to hurry and prepare a suppressant that can delay the voodoo activation. The number of doses will also be thirty.” Yang Ming told Zhang Zhishen.

“Okay. Don’t worry, Brother Yang. This is very easy to cultivate.” Zhang Zhishen nodded.

The combination of interests was the most unreliable. Once a third party offered more benefits, the combination of such interests would soon collapse. Yang Ming was very clear about this.

Since Tian Long could buy these people, Yang Ming could also buy these people, but there was no guarantee if Tian Long’s confidant was among them. If the confidant told Tian Long about Yang Ming’s plan, Yang Ming’s efforts would be in vain as a result.

Tian Long’s buying over was done under the coercion policy of administering reward and punishment at the same time. Tian Long held most of their shortcomings in his hands, so they had no choice but to betray Sun Hongjun.

Therefore, there was only one possibility for Yang Ming to make these people defect, and that was by forcing them. If they continued to follow Tian Long, they would only be dead.

Only when it involved their own personal safety were they likely to betray Tian Long with Yang Ming.

Although Yang Ming knew acupoints, and he could let them suffer a living hell, it was only a stopgap. Yang Ming still needed them to work for him, so he couldn’t kill them.

A short-lived threat; although Yang Ming could be sure to instill fear to their very marrow, nothing was absolute. If someone relied on their luck and continued to serve Tian Long, that would be bad.

Therefore, Yang Ming wanted to give them actual threats. Only after they were actually threatened would they not dare to have second thoughts.

At one o’clock in the afternoon, Yang Ming received a call from Xia Xue. She had already finished her work. She asked Yang Ming if he could leave. Yang Ming was also ready to go, so he drove to pick up Xia Xue, and they went to Donghai together.

The reason why Xia Xue accompanied Yang Ming was that Yang Ming’s identity was special; it couldn’t be disclosed to everyone.
