Chapter 807 - Wang Jiang Has Been Caught
Chapter 807: Wang Jiang Has Been Caught
Wang Jiang was furious over the past few days.
This was because he felt like he had completely humiliated the Wangs, and he was being toyed with by a young man who was not even 20 years old.
Previously, he had asked his men to bribe Su Yang’s employees to get the information he wanted. However, Su Yang had just defeated him completely.
In fact, after his failed negotiation with Su Yang, he had given up on this lead, thinking that it was destined to fail.
Unexpectedly, just one week before “Legend of Wu Zetian” was released, all the information about his investigation was revealed online.
At that time, Wang Jiang was both happy and suspicious.
He was happy that it might affect Su Yang. Although it might not be a big deal, it could at least make Su Yang feel irked.
On the other hand, he suspected that Su Yang himself might have self-destructed when it was not him who had leaked that information.
‘But, why did Su Yang self-destruct?
‘What good would it do him to expose those things?’
Wang Jiang just could not understand.
Therefore, he could only watch the development of the situation with suspicion.
In the end, the development of the situation was completely out of his expectations. Su Yang made use of his intel and then annexed the share of the other companies. He then changed his contract with the five major platforms and changed it into a Staircase Program to collect copyright fees.
At that time, Wang Jiang had already realized that something was wrong.
Due to the few confrontations he had with Su Yang, he knew that Su Yang was not someone who would conduct business at a loss. Hence, in that case, Wang Jiang felt that this might be a “trap” aimed at him.
The results were indeed as he had expected. “Legend of Wu Zetian” had exploded, and Han Yi had risen to fame. On the other hand, Jiadian Pictures and Jiadian Entertainment had directly become famous within the entertainment industry.
Also, from this incident, Jiadian Group directly seized close to a billion yuan in profits (based on Wang Jiang’s estimate).
In fact, Su Yang even used this opportunity to openly and reasonably clean up those who betrayed him.
All of these made Wang Jiang’s scalp tingle!
He did not expect that Su Yang would benefit from his manipulation! After all, what was more infuriating than knowing that his schemes helped the enemy grow?
Therefore, Wang Jiang was very angry, enraged even!
In the past, whenever the emperor was angry, millions of corpses would be buried. As the king of Zhejiang Province, although Wang Jiang wasn’t at the level of being an emperor, he was able to cause tremors with just a stomp of his foot!
Therefore, he came up with an excuse that Juduoduo and Findme app had violated the law, which he then asked the authorities to shut down both companies. On top of that, Wang Jiang not only requested for the companies to be shut down temporarily, he also requested for their servers to be shut down and for a thorough investigation to be conducted.
This move of Wang Jiang’s caused ripples to be formed, which in turn caused everyone to be startled.
Everyone knew how powerful the big shot was in this country, but they had rarely experienced it for themselves. However, by shutting down the servers and the company itself, Juduoduo immediately collapsed.
No matter how much Huang Zheng trusted Su Yang, Juduoduo was at a critical juncture in its development at that moment, so the shutdown would cause a huge loss. Hence, he called Su Yang immediately, who frowned when he learned of this news as well
However, the plan he and Old Master Yang had cooked up had already been carried out when they were ambushed by Wang Jiang. Hence, he could only appease Huang Zheng and tell him that he would settle it as soon as possible.
Although Huang Zheng knew that this was a fight between immortals and he was just implicated within, he knew that he could not handle it himself, so he could only wait…
However, Su Yang could tell that he was worried and anxious when he hung up the video call.
After hanging up, Su Yang sent a message to Old Master Yang and asked, ‘Old Master Yang, do you have any updates?’
Old Master Yang replied very slowly, making Su Yang feel that he was the one who was treating the matter with urgency.
It was not until nighttime that Old Master Yang replied. ‘Tomorrow.’
This simple reply allowed Su Yang to feel relieved. He then told Old Master Yang about Juduoduo and Findme app’s incident, but Old Master Yang still replied with one word only. ‘Okay.’
If Su Yang had not met Old Master Yang before and knew that he was a kind and amiable old man, he would have thought that he was an aloof prince charming. However, when he recalled the scene where he saw Old Master Yang using his phone the other day, Su Yang suddenly understood. ‘Old Master Yang not only doesn’t know how to use his phone, he only uses one finger to type as well. So, it’s only normal for him to reply so coldly.’
After receiving Old Master Yang’s reply, Su Yang sent Huang Zheng a message. ‘Tomorrow.’
Su Yang suddenly felt that Old Master Yang’s simple replies were very cool…
After sending the message, Su Yang looked at the word “tomorrow” and felt that it was such a coincidence. He had just come to an agreement with Old Master Yang a few days ago, so he did not expect that there would be a result after Wang Jiang had just made his move.
‘Could it be possible that Old Master Yang deliberately waited for this moment?’
However, Su Yang had really misunderstood Old Master Yang on that matter.
Actually, after Su Yang came back from the bar and sent a message to Old Master Yang, the latter had already started to take action.
However, it was not easy to fight within the circle of big shots, which required preparation.
Therefore, Old Master Yang did not stay idle for the next few days.
As one of the top three leaders in the entire Zhejiang Province, his power and connections were terrifying. Even if he could not compare to the Wangs, he could still communicate with the top forces directly.
Therefore, he reported this matter to his superiors. After gaining the support of his superiors, he contacted a few factions that had grudges with the Wangs and made some promises to ask them to help out.
In fact, those few factions were all top-tier or second-tier factions, and their feud with the Wangs could be traced back several generations. Thus, when they saw a chance to suppress the Wangs, especially with Old Master leading the charge, they would not suffer too many attacks. As expected, they all agreed.
During this period of time, Old Master Yang had been working together with various factions because he knew that it would be very difficult for him to take down Wang Jiang on his own. Only by working together with the factions that could unite would he be able to accomplish all of this.
When Su Yang sent Old Master Yang a message to ask about it, Old Master Yang was already prepared for everything, but was missing a crucial element…
The next morning, Old Master Yang woke up early in the morning, but did not go to work. Instead, he slowly listed all the evidence at home. After confirming that everything was fine, he officially submitted his report to the higher-ups.
In the report, he used his current identity to report Wang Jiang’s illegal crimes.
Generally speaking, at the level of a provincial big shot, even if they had grudges, they would not make such a big deal out of it. Instead, they would discuss things privately and settle things privately as well. After all, everyone cared about their reputation.
Thus, for a report to be submitted with his real name, he was basically betting his own future.
This made it impossible for anyone to use any other means. They could not use any compromising or other political methods to avoid it. Instead, everything had to be handled in the most open manner.
This time, all the big names in the country were shocked. It involved the two most important forces in a province, especially with one of them being the Wangs from Zhejiang Province. Instantly, all the big shots in the country were attracted to it.
‘Is this actually happening? This thing that might not even happen after many years?
‘Moreover… The target is Wang Jiang, an exceptionally sensitive figure.
‘Meanwhile, Old Yang and Wang Jiang have been working together for many years. Yet, he actually chose such a time to report it?’
In fact, even if someone said that Su Yang had nothing to do with it, no one would believe them…
However, no matter what, this was a normal method. So, on that very day, Zhongdu sent a special investigation team to investigate.
At the same time, Old Master Yang and Wang Jiang were suspended on the spot and ordered to wait at home for the investigation.
In an instant, the entire Hangzhou was in turmoil, so was the entire Zhejiang Province.
On the other hand, Wang Jiang was stunned when he was suspended.
At that moment, all his attention was on Su Yang, so he did not expect the person beside him to suddenly stab him in the back.
Actually, he had caught wind of the news that Old Master Yang had reported him a long time ago, almost around the time when the news was being spreaded amongst the big shots within their circle.
But by then, it was too late.
Especially when he found out that it involved the Gold Bull Group and Zhongan Automobile, Wang Jiang knew how serious the matter was.
He knew that he had gone too far in the past few years, and that if he was just a normal big shot, he would have been captured long ago. However, because he was from the Wangs, he had special privileges.
Even though many of the higher-ups had heard about this, because of the Wangs’ status and Wang Jiang’s own abilities, they had turned a blind eye.
However, now that everything was exposed, things were looking very bad.
‘This investigation might lead to problems, especially based on the information I’ve received. Old Master Yang has definitely prepared sufficient evidence this time, so I think… I could only try and work that way now…
…
At Jinxiu Garden Estate in Hangzhou…
In a room on the third floor, Huang Zheng was sighing at home.
Even though he had always been strong and confident, in the face of this kind of political interference and suppression, he was still very powerless.
Initially, he thought that as long as the company developed, he would not have to worry about many things. After all, the bigger the company, the bigger the influence.
However, it was only at that moment that he realized that companies without any technology or patents in the pure internet industry were so powerless against such forces.
A declaration like that was like a heavenly decree that could have him banned at will, where even demons and ghosts could be eliminated with a single sentence.
However, there was nothing else he could do. Hence, he could only ask for help from his two big investors: Jiadian and Tencent.
He had already called the president of Tencent’s Investment Department, and there was nothing they could do in the face of such a situation. After all, Tencent’s power was mostly in Shenzhen and had little influence in Zhejiang Province.
Moreover, Juduoduo was not important enough for them to fight against such an important big shot, so they rejected Huang Zheng’s request and only said that they would help to ask indirectly and try to resolve the issue.
Meanwhile, he had already called Su Yang last night, who gave him an ambiguous answer. ‘Tomorrow.’
He did not know what that meant at that moment. ‘Does he mean that he will solve it tomorrow? Or is there going to be a turnaround tomorrow? Or, is there going to be a bigger problem tomorrow?’
Actually, he had tried to ask the man before, but he did not answer.
Hence, Huang Zheng did not ask anymore as he knew that he could only wait patiently.
At that moment, it was already afternoon the next day, yet there was still no news, so he started to feel anxious.
After all, Juduoduo was his most important career, and it was also his hope to become a top entrepreneur. Hence, now that he had encountered such a huge issue, he really could not calm down.
Therefore, he walked around the room, sat down, and stood up.
Just as he was getting tired, his phone suddenly rang.
At that moment, his phone ringing was like a ray of hope for Huang Zheng. He quickly picked up his phone and looked at it. In the end, he realized that it was a call from the CEO of Tencent’s Investment Department.
Instantly, a lot of hope welled up in his heart. ‘Could it be possible that Tencent has helped to resolve everything?’
With that thought in mind, he picked up the phone excitedly and tried to calm himself down as he said, “Hello, Mr. Yuan. Any news?”
On the other end of the phone, Boss Yuan was silent for a while. Then, he said in a slightly strange tone, “Do you still not know?”
Huang Zheng looked puzzled and asked, “Know what?”
Mr. Yuan was silent for a while before saying, “You’re all fine now. Someone should be calling you soon and saying that the ban on you has been lifted.”
When Huang Zheng heard this, his heart was thumping. He felt as if he had just eaten a piece of candy. He tried his best to appear less agitated and replied, “Thank you for your help, Mr. Yuan. I…”
Before he could finish, Mr. Yuan interrupted him and said, “We didn’t do it.”
Huang Zheng’s words were stuck in his throat. “Huh… You didn’t do it?”
Mr. Yuan said, “That’s right. The company doesn’t have a strong relationship with Zhejiang Province, so I only found someone to try and ease the tension. In the end, I caught wind of this news…”
Huang Zheng hesitated and said, “If it’s not you, then it would be… Uh…”
Huang Zheng suddenly thought of Su Yang.
He thought about Su Yang’s “identity” that he had heard from Shanghai. Then, he recalled the two words that Su Yang had told him yesterday. Finally, he recalled Su Yang’s influence in the country.
After recalling all those, he patted his head lightly.
‘Who else could it be other than Su Yang?!’
Actually, he did not know why he had not thought of Su Yang. However, because this call was made by Tencent, it was only normal for his first thought to be that it was Tencent who had helped resolve the problem, which was why they were contacting him at that moment.
Thus, now that Mr. Yuan said that it was not them, Huang Zheng understood everything.
Hearing Huang Zheng stop halfway, Mr. Yuan said, “It looks like you’ve guessed it.”
Huang Zheng nodded. “Yes, it should be Mr. Su from Jiadian Group.”
Mr. Yuan was silent for a while before saying, “I think so too.
“But… Did you know that actually, it wasn’t just you guys who got your bans lifted. Something else happened as well.”
Huang Zheng, who had just started his career, obviously did not have so many channels to understand this information so quickly, so he could not help but ask, “There’s anything else? What is it?”
Mr. Yuan deliberated for a moment before saying, “Wang Jiang… Has been suspended.”
“Crack!” A muffled sound was heard. It was as if lightning struck Huang Zheng’s mind.
Huang Zheng felt like he was in a trance. Then, he could no longer control his facial expression…
