Chapter 143: Coercion and Temptation
Although Baixiong Group is a large-scale group supported by black gold, with so many years of development, it has been whitewashed a lot, and the legal industry involves many fields, and the field of culture, entertainment, film and television is one of the keys.
As we all know, entertainment film and television cannot avoid dealing with the media, and many times, a draft of the media can make an artist ruined and affect the artist's company.
For example, a certain door that was a sensation back then implicated many artists, and also affected the companies behind those artists.
Generally speaking, artists with backgrounds, the media generally don't mess around.
And the artist's background, in addition to the social circle and family background, is the company he works for.
Baixiong Pictures is a subsidiary of Baixiong Group, but it has a very high status in the Huaxia Entertainment film and television circle, and few media dare to report on the company's artists.
They are afraid of retaliation by the Baixiong Group!
The Zhang Xinran incident detonated on the Internet, and the media did not play a leading role, and it was completely stirred up by netizens.
And yet—
Even so, the next day, the whole incident completely cooled down.
There are almost no reports of the incident on the Internet, and some well-known forums have banned discussions about the matter, and the big influencers on Weibo have deleted posts about the incident, leaving only >
All this is only because Baixiong Pictures has used all media relations, including official and private.
In fact, two hours after Zhang Gu gave the order yesterday, all the news on the Internet was deleted!
And he didn't pay attention to it at all.
The next afternoon, when the sun was gradually setting, Zhang Gu drove alone to Minsheng Hospital.
He promised Xu Qiang that he wanted to come to see Xu Pengfei, and today he is here to fulfill his promise.
Of course, this is the superficial purpose, and his real purpose is to talk to Xu Qiang.
As a shareholder of Baixiong Group and one of the giants of the underground world of the East China Sea, Xu Qiang is also a figure in the East China Sea, not lacking power and money.
Under such circumstances, he easily arranged the best ward for Xu Pengfei in the private Minsheng Hospital.
In the ward, Xu Pengfei had just undergone a craniotomy and fell asleep on the hospital bed, while Xu Qiang and his wife watched from the sidelines.
Among them, Xu Qiang's wife's eyes were slightly red, obviously crying, while Xu Qiang's expression was gloomy, and his brows were tightly wrinkled together, forming a 'Sichuan' shape.
Because Xu Pengfei had a serious intracranial hemorrhage and could not drain blood, he finally had to undergo a craniotomy and almost lost his life.
"Bang, bang!"
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
"Please come in. ”
Xu Qiang said in a low tone.
As his words fell, the door of the ward was pushed open, and Zhang Gu walked in with a bouquet of flowers and a fruit basket.
"Xiao Gu, come here, what are you doing with your things?" Seeing that it was Zhang Gu, Xu Qiang and his wife got up one after another.
Although Xu Qiang's words were like this, his frowning brows loosened slightly, and his expression looked better.
For him, neither the flowers nor the fruit basket are worth mentioning, what matters is Zhang Gu's heart!
Zhang Gu personally brought things to the ward, which is a different concept from letting the bodyguard carry things!
"Uncle Xu, Aunt Zhang, how is Pengfei's situation?" Zhang Gu put down his things and asked with concern.
In fact, before he came, he already knew everything about Xu Pengfei's situation, and even knew exactly what time Xu Pengfei had surgery.
Hearing Zhang Gu's inquiry, Xu Qiang's wife had a sour nose, and was about to speak, but was stopped by Xu Qiang with his eyes, and then only heard him say: "The operation was relatively successful, the intracranial blood was all removed, and it will be no problem to recuperate for a period of time." ”
"That's good. ”
Zhang Gu said, glanced at Xu Qiang's wife again, and comforted: "Aunt Zhang, don't worry too much, as Uncle Xu said, as long as the operation is successful, it will be fine." ”
"Alas......"
Xu Qiang's wife sighed, her eyes were red, and she said with a little crying: "Xiao Gu, your Uncle Xu didn't say it all. Although the operation was successful, the doctor said that because of the large amount of blood in the skull and the long time, there was a high risk of sequelae. ”
"Sequelae?" Zhang pretended to be stunned.
"Hmm. Xu Qiang's face was not good-looking, "There is a certain risk of paralysis." ”
"It could even be a vegetative state!"
Xu Qiang's wife said, and couldn't help but scold: "That goddamn bastard is too heavy! It is said that he is still a person within the group, how can he do this? Moreover, your father-in-law ......."
"Xiao Gu, Peng Fei just had surgery and needs to recuperate, let's go out and talk. Seeing that his wife was complaining, and he wanted to mention Zhang Baixiong, Xu Qiang had to interrupt.
"Good. ”
Zhang Gu nodded, and then left the ward with Xu Qiang and came to the rooftop at the end of the corridor of the ward.
The rooftop, about the size of two basketball courts, appears empty, with only a few family members chatting.
Xu Qiang took Zhang Gu to a corner where no one was, took out a cigarette, handed it to Zhang Gu, and then Zhang Gu lit it for him, sucking hard, and his brows furrowed again.
"Aunt Zhang is right, the shot surnamed Qin is indeed too ruthless. Zhang Gu took two puffs of cigarette and was the first to speak, breaking the silence.
"So what? What can I do?" Xu Qiang laughed to himself.
"Uncle Xu, do you want revenge?" Zhang Gu got straight to the point.
"Revenge?"
Stunned to hear these two words, Xu Qiang was startled, and then looked at Zhang Gu directly, his sharp gaze seemed to want to see through Zhang Gu.
As an old Jianghu who has been in the rivers and lakes for many years, he naturally knows that he has to talk half a point in the rivers and lakes, and he can never completely believe in a person, otherwise he will die a miserable death!
Although he has a good relationship with Zhang Gu, especially during this time, Zhang Gu intends to get very close to him, but this does not mean that he will believe Zhang Gu.
In such a situation, Zhang Gu talked about the sensitive matter of revenge, which immediately aroused his alarm - he was worried that Zhang Gu was sent by Zhang Baixiong to test his tone!
"Hmm. ”
Zhang Gu calmly met Xu Qiang's gaze and nodded solemnly.
"Xiao Gu, the eldest brother has already dealt with this matter, what are you talking about revenge?"
Xu Qiang exhaled a puff of smoke and slowly spoke, giving people an ambiguous feeling.
When the words fell, he seemed to be smoking, but in fact he stared at Zhang Gu and observed Zhang Gu's reaction.
Because, what he said just now was also testing Zhang Gu!
"Uncle Xu, you are guarding against me, but this is also normal. ”
Zhang Gu knew that he was not the one asked, and said: "The reason why I asked you if you want to take revenge is because I want the surname Qin to die!"
This time, Xu Qiang just smoked and kept silent, wanting Zhang Gu to continue.
"You know, the surnamed Qin saved Xinran twice, and he also helped my father-in-law kill Yang Ce and get the feng shui treasure of Nansu. ”
Zhang Gu said in a deep voice: "And my sister likes him very much. In case my sister is with him, or even married, Uncle Xu, how much hope do you think I have to take over?"
"The martial arts surnamed Qin are against the sky, and his other abilities are also good, if he really marries your sister, you have no chance of taking over. Xu Qiang replied.
"Yes, I've worked hard for so long, and I see that I've been designated as the successor, but he appeared and wanted to take away everything that originally belonged to me, do you think I can be willing?" Zhang Gu asked rhetorically.
"I believe you want to kill him, but don't forget, he slaughtered Yang Ce and his thirty-nine subordinates alone, and his force value is against the sky, and it is difficult to kill. Take 10,000 steps back, even if you can kill him, how can you explain it on the other side, big brother?" Xu Qiang asked the key.
"I've contacted four overseas killers, all of whom are ace killers, and have made a plan to kill him like a chicken!"
Zhang Gu made no secret of it, and could even be said to be a little unscrupulous, "As for my father-in-law, hey, do you think that since I did this, it is possible to let him live? Killing one is also killing, and killing two is also killing! Once the two of them die, I will take over directly once and for all!"
"Uh......"
Xu Qiang's words sounded in his ears, Xu Qiang's heart set off a huge wave, his right hand shook uncontrollably, and he directly shook off the cigarette butt in his hand.
Under the sunset, his eyes widened and he looked at Zhang Gu in a daze, and the shock on his face couldn't be concealed at all!
Shocked?
Yes!
He believed that Zhang Gu did have the intention of killing Qin Feng, but he didn't expect that Zhang Gu had already put it into action, and he would kill Zhang Baixiong together!
What he didn't expect was that Zhang Gu would say all this in front of him so unabashedly!
"Xiao Gu, are you kidding? or are you testing me??"
After the shock, Xu Qiang regained his composure, and he felt that what Zhang Gu had done was so crazy that he couldn't believe it.
"Uncle Xu, I'm not joking, nor am I tempting you. The reason I'm telling you all this so frankly is because I want to work with you. ”
Zhang Gu said word by word: "I can tell you unequivocally that according to my plan, Zhang Baixiong and Qin Feng will die! But you also know that in the entire Baixiong Group, in addition to Zhang Baixiong, there is also a Zhu Wenmo. Even if I kill Zhang Baixiong, I may not be able to inherit everything Zhang Baixiong left behind! At this time, I need your help!"
"You want me to be in the big ...... After the death of the eldest brother, support you to ascend to the throne. Xu Qiang's heart moved.
"Hmm. ”
Zhang Gu nodded.
"Xiao Gu, even if I believe that everything you said is true, and you have successfully done it, there is still a Zhang Xinran, what should you do? Kill it too?" Xu Qiang asked again.
"Of course, since I even killed Zhang Baixiong, will I keep her?" Zhang Gu sneered.
Xu Qiang was silent again.
Zhang Gu's plan was crazy, and his methods could be said to be brutal, which made him frightened and considered the credibility of his words.
"Three days later, the death day of Zhang Baixiong's ex-wife is the date of his death!" Zhang Gu struck while the iron was hot and took another fierce medicine.
"Xiao Gu, your plan is too crazy, and the consequences are unimaginable, do you want to think about it again?" Xu Qiang spoke again.
"There is no turning back when you open the bow!"
Zhang Gu said in a deep voice: "Uncle Xu, after the matter is completed, you will not only avenge Pengfei, but also increase the proportion of shares in the group. Even if things fail, you won't be affected - you're not part of the plan!"
"I'm afraid I can't do it alone, right?" Xu Qiang still didn't believe it, and looked at Zhang Gu suspiciously.
"I was the first to look for you, and I will go to Lei Hu next!" Zhang Gu did not hide it.
"At the beginning, in order to save Xinran, the eldest brother asked Lei Hu to lead people to withdraw from Kunhai, but Lei Hu was very reluctant. Later, after he led the people to withdraw, things took a turn for the worse, but the eldest brother never arranged a position for him, and did not let him participate in the task of annexing Nansu, he must be very dissatisfied in his heart! If Zhang Guruo went to find him, it was very likely that he would cooperate with Zhang Gu!"
Xu Qiang thought so in his heart, but he still didn't agree to Zhang Gu, but looked at Zhang Gu thoughtfully.
Because, until now, he still didn't dare to fully believe Zhang Gu's words.
"Uncle Xu, I have been honest, if you still don't believe it, then you shouldn't have heard what I said before. ”
Seeing that Xu Qiang was slow to express his position, Zhang Gu said coldly: "In addition, if you don't agree to cooperate, don't think about going to Zhang Baixiong to denounce me, it will only lift a stone and shoot yourself in the foot." First, Zhang Baixiong trusts me more than you. Second, your son has just had an accident, who do you think Zhang Baixiong thinks wants to kill Qin Feng the most? When the time comes, if I beat you up, you will die a miserable death!"
"You ......"
Xu Qiang's face changed, and the color behind him was ugly, "Xiao Gu, are you coercing and seducing?!"
"Yes, Uncle Xu, you can think so. Zhang Gu nodded, and then said, "Please make your choice!"
"I don't seem to have a choice. ”
Xu Qiang sighed, although Zhang Gu's methods were very aggressive, they were very clever, and they almost ate him.
"Uncle Xu, I wish us a happy cooperation in advance!"
Zhang Gu smiled and shook hands with Xu Qiang, feeling as if he had seen himself standing at the top of the East China Sea and even the Yangtze River Delta!
