After receiving a call from Yu Tianxiang, Deng Liang immediately contacted his younger brother-in-law, Sun Bo.
Although he usually didn't have a good impression of this slacker who was also extremely lazy, as this guy would ask him for money every now and then. If it weren't for the sake of his wife, he wouldn't even want to talk to this guy at all.
However, in recent times, Sun Bo had changed quite a bit. He was no longer as lazy as before and handled things more efficiently. This made Deng Liang's impression of him improve somewhat.
After all, they were family. Although Sun Bo had been a bit of a hooligan before, he was still trustworthy.
Regarding the matter of dealing with Yu Mo, the eldest young master of Yu Corporation, Deng Liang thought of Sun Bo right away and planned to assign this task to him.
When Sun Bo received the call, he was playing cards with a few friends.
Seeing that it was his brother-in-law calling, he quickly motioned for the others to be quiet and slapped his cards on the table.
"This is my brother-in-law's call. I have to answer it." After saying that, he took his phone and walked outside.
"Hello, brother-in-law?"
"Come to my place now. I have a job for you."
"Sure, brother-in-law. I'll come right away."
If it had been in the past, Sun Bo would definitely have found all sorts of excuses to shirk, especially when he was in the middle of a gambling spree. Not even the King of Heaven could have moved him.
But now it was different.
Since being severely punished by the new boss, he had really restrained himself a lot and become much more diligent.
There was no way around it.
On the one hand, he really didn't want to end up in jail. On the other hand, it was related to a conversation he accidentally overheard between two black - clothed men who were smoking outside.
Those two black - clothed men were core members of the Wanlong Society who had just become full - fledged members at that time.
After being punished, Sun Bo had wanted to curry favor with them by offering them cigarettes. Unexpectedly, he accidentally heard their conversation.
"We've taken care of another fool who dared to challenge our Wanlong Society. Why do these people want to see the King of Hell so badly?"
"Exactly. The grain merchant Qiao Yong, who offended us last time, has probably been reincarnated by now, right?"
"Counting the days, it's about right. It's a pity I wasn't a core member then and didn't have the chance to go. But I heard that it was Sister Xiaohui who led the team that night and the young lady personally supervised. The young lady really deserves to be the boss. She's so ruthless. She actually threw Qiao Yong off the building right in front of the policemen. With a thud, the man was flattened."
"I've also heard about it. They said that several policemen borrowed a shovel from the neighboring hardware store to scoop the man up. That scene, tsk tsk tsk... It was so cruel!"
"If only I had been there. I've never seen what a flattened person looks like. What a pity..."
"..."
Generally speaking, when people are chatting and shooting the breeze, they always unconsciously exaggerate things.
But they didn't know that because of their exaggerated and boastful chat, they scared the innocent Sun Bo.
If he had still harbored some other thoughts before, after hearing this conversation, he didn't have a single bit of ill will left. He was almost on the verge of crying and hugging Liu Yutong's legs, begging her not to kill him.
Of course, he didn't have that chance.
Later, in order to confirm whether this matter was true or not, Sun Bo specifically asked around. After confirming that it was true, he was in a constant state of unease and reported information more actively.
Ten minutes later.
Sun Bo arrived at Deng Liang's office.
Deng Liang was sitting in his chair with his legs crossed, smoking and talking on the phone. When he saw his brother - in - law come in, he casually pushed the cigarette case on the table forward. "You came quickly. Help yourself."
Sun Bo skillfully took out a cigarette and lit it, then asked obsequiously, "Brother - in - law, why did you call me here in such a hurry?"
"I have a job, and I'm going to assign it to you." Deng Liang hung up the phone and said directly, "A friend of mine wants to deal with someone, Yu Mo, the eldest young master of Yu Corporation."
Sun Bo's eyelids twitched violently. "Deal with? What do you mean, brother - in - law? And that's Yu Corporation! How can we afford to offend them!"
"That kid is stupid enough to have offended someone he shouldn't have."
Deng Liang didn't tell him the real reason. Some things were better known to as few people as possible.
"Don't worry. It's just to teach this arrogant rich second - generation a lesson. I'll back you up. What are you afraid of?"
"Also, you're not a kid anymore. You can't just idle around like this all day. If you handle this matter well, I'll hand over the neighboring industrial park to you for management."
Hearing this, Sun Bo's eyes instantly lit up. "Thank you, brother - in - law. I'll definitely handle this matter properly!"
Deng Liang nodded in satisfaction. "Do a good job. We're family, and I won't treat you badly."
Just as he was about to give Sun Bo a few more instructions, a shout came from outside. "Brother Liang, someone's here to see you!"
Deng Liang stood up and left the office, leaving Sun Bo alone in the room.
Sun Bo was a bit bored. He got up and wandered around the office, then casually walked over to the wine and cigarette cabinet in the corner. This place was very familiar to him because he had stolen things from here many times before.
Deng Liang was quite well - connected in the logistics park, so many people gave him gifts, especially cigarettes and wine. He couldn't even finish smoking them all.
So every time Sun Bo ran out of cigarettes, he would shamelessly come here to "stock up".
Although Deng Liang was quite annoyed about it in his heart, out of consideration for his wife, he always turned a blind eye.
If he really annoyed this guy, and he went to his wife to complain, there would be chaos at home again.
This was also one of the reasons why Deng Liang didn't like this brother - in - law very much.
Although Deng Liang himself was also involved in the underworld, it was completely different. Sun Bo was just a pure idler and extremely lazy. Whenever he was asked to do something, he always made excuses and dragged his feet.
This time, although Sun Bo opened the cabinet as usual, he didn't steal the cigarettes and wine in the cabinet like before. He managed to hold himself back.
Just as he was about to close the cabinet door, he suddenly noticed that the wooden board behind several bottles of wine seemed a bit loose and there was actually a small crack slightly open.
Out of curiosity, he reached out and pulled it. Unexpectedly, this wooden board was a disguise, and there was actually a small embedded safe hidden inside.
Sun Bo's heart suddenly started pounding. It seemed that he had discovered a big secret of his brother - in - law.
"Good! So you, Deng Liang, have been hiding so much private money!"
"No wonder my sister always complains that the living expenses you give her are getting less and less. I didn't expect you to have hidden the money here."
Sun Bo looked at this safe, his eyes full of greed.
Just then, there was a sound of footsteps outside the office.
His face turned pale with fright. He quickly restored everything to its original state and pretended to be nonchalant as he returned to his seat.
When Deng Liang came back, he saw that his brother - in - law was sitting there obediently and hadn't stolen anything from him. He was quite satisfied.
It seemed that this guy had really changed his ways.
Then, he walked straight towards the wine and cigarette cabinet.
Seeing this, Sun Bo's heart was in his throat. He thought his brother - in - law had discovered something.
He only let out a sigh of relief when he saw that Deng Liang just took out a good pack of cigarettes and a good bottle of wine.
"Xiaobo, take this pack of cigarettes to smoke. Take this bottle of wine back to our dad for me later."
Sometimes people are just like this. The more persistently you try to get something from someone, the more annoyed they might feel and the less willing they are to give it to you.
But if you are obedient, they will offer it to you without you having to say a word.
"Thank you, brother-in-law."
Sun Bo took the cigarettes and wine and expressed his gratitude, saying, "Brother-in-law, I just realized now that you're so good to me. I'll definitely work hard for you!"
Deng Liang nodded in satisfaction. "Work hard. In the future, it'll be up to us brothers to take the lead in this logistics park."
"Right, right. Brother-in-law is the best here!" Sun Bo gave him a thumbs - up.
After that, the two briefly discussed how to deal with Yu Mo, and then Sun Bo left.
That night, this so - called smart guy, Sun Bo, actually found a safe of the same model and pulled off a switch, swapping the safes.
What he didn't know was that this self - conceited move of his inadvertently brought about a fatal disaster for his brother - in - law, Deng Liang.
