Chapter 390: Chapter 390: Growing Fond of That Title

The organization members under him scattered and fled.

What’s left are just a few loyal ones.

This time, it took a severe blow.

Gu Nanjiu was extremely irritated; he’d failed again, once more at Tang Si’s hands.

"Fuck!" Gu Nanjiu kicked the overturned table.

He paced back and forth in the living room several times.

The atmosphere was so intense that Kash stood nearby, not daring to speak.

When Gu Nanjiu loses his temper, it’s best to lower your presence, or you might lose your life.

Uncertain how much time passed.

Gu Nanjiu calmed down, but his tone was still anxious: "Kash, come with me to Liu Zhong’s company."

His trump card is there; whether he can stage a comeback depends on that company.

"Yes." Kash nodded.

At this moment, a man walked in at the door; he looked unremarkable, had a scar on his face, and seemed quite dark-skinned.

He held a glass of water and, upon entering, bowed slightly to Gu Nanjiu as a sign of respect.

Gu Nanjiu eyed the man with a dangerous gaze; he was tall and seemed quite respectful.

"Who is this?" Gu Nanjiu asked Kash in a cold voice.

The tone was somewhat cautious and guarded.

Kash hurriedly came forward to introduce, "Boss Jiu, we’re running low on people."

"He’s mute; I bought him from the black market. He’s quite a fighter, and being mute, he’s quiet and compliant. Keeping him around adds extra security."

Gu Nanjiu spoke with a dangerous undertone, "Is that so?"

His gaze never left the man’s face, as if trying to peel back layers of skin to see if he had any ulterior motives.

In this line of work, everyone is very cautious and wary.

Kash is a long-time aide of Gu Nanjiu, having been loyal for over a decade.

Even if Kash brought him, Gu Nanjiu would still have his doubts.

But it’s not to the point of total rejection.

"Boss Jiu," Kash said, "rest assured, he’s absolutely reliable. Don’t you trust me?"

Gu Nanjiu was severely wounded this time; the ones under him who could run, had already run, and those remaining were surely loyal to him.

Gu Nanjiu snorted coldly, took the glass of water from that man’s hand, and asked, "What’s his name?"

Kash: "Boss Jiu, his name is Shen Su. He was picked up by someone from the roadside when he was young, barely alive, and then he ended up in the black market as a thug."

"Shen Su?" Gu Nanjiu stared at the man in front of him, licking his lips, and suddenly squinted his eyes. While Shen Su was off guard, he viciously kicked him in the stomach.

"Bang--!" Shen Su was thrown onto the table, the corner, the glass shards cutting into his waist and back.

He frowned in pain but didn’t make a sound.

His eyes, pitch black, glared at Gu Nanjiu.

Gu Nanjiu coldly laughed again, "Not satisfied?"

Shen Su dared not move, didn’t dare get up, just shook his head, indicating he wasn’t dissatisfied.

Gu Nanjiu slightly pressed his tongue against his cheek, and the cup he just picked up was hurled fiercely at Shen Su’s head.

"Bang!" The glass shattered.

Despite a possible chance to dodge, Shen Su didn’t, just taking it as it was.

Gu Nanjiu quipped, "Come on, pretty good fighter, huh?"

"Get up, let me test you."

Shen Su’s forehead bled, and as he stood up, he staggered slightly.

Standing motionless in front of Gu Nanjiu.

Kash quickly said, "Boss Jiu, there’s a rule in the black market: the subordinate doesn’t hit the boss, only takes the boss’s hits."

Gu Nanjiu chuckled.

He turned and walked upstairs. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Kash immediately gave Shen Su a push, "Quickly thank Boss Jiu! The boss agreed to keep you!"

Shen Su immediately bent over, 90 degrees, towards Gu Nanjiu who was walking upstairs.

...

The largest pharmaceutical group in the country.

Their big boss, Liu Zhong, recently died, killed by his eldest daughter Liu Qiang, and his youngest daughter also died from a fall.

From the family, only Liu Zhong’s wife, Chen Ruzhi, remained.

Holding a lot of shares, the recent board meeting was a bloody mess on who would take over as the largest chairman; it was in deadlock.

Chen Ruzhi was originally a rich lady, and even with many shares, lacked any form of power.

Yet somehow, this powerless person was pushed to the chairman position by an unknown force.

Inside the chairman’s office, it was said an esteemed guest had arrived.

It was an elegant-looking man.

He wore a suit, hair meticulously combed, sitting with his legs crossed on the sofa.

Phoenix eyes carried a trace of a smile.

Behind him, stood two men.

One looked like someone from the remote areas, the other with a scar on his face, darker skin.

Both exuded an uncontrollable aura of murder.

Chen Ruzhi narrowed her eyes, "Why have you come today... is there something?"

The man sat with an air of dominance and pressure, "I’m the one who put you in this position. Aren’t you grateful?"

"Sit down first." He gestured, pushing a glass of water across the table, "President Chen, have a drink, let’s have a good talk."

Chen Ruzhi crossed her hands arrogantly.

Her demeanor was utterly unlike that of a woman who’d just lost her husband and daughter.

She looked every bit the wealthy female chairman.

Although unwilling, the man’s attitude flattered her; her vanity appreciated being addressed as President Chen.

So she sat down and drank the glass of water.

The man had a subtle smile on his lips, watching Chen Ruzhi drink the water.

He leisurely took out a contract, "Sign it."

Chen Ruzhi glanced at the letters, "Stock transfer agreement?"

Her voice rose a few pitches, "Gu Nanjiu, are you dreaming?"

Gu Nanjiu smiled, tapping on the glass wall, "Don’t sign, and the result for you is death."

His lips curled up, "I don’t mind carrying a few more lives on me."

Chen Ruzhi: "You dare!"

No matter how bold he was, he wouldn’t dare commit murder here!

Gu Nanjiu unhurriedly lifted his gaze, "Just now, what you drank, was poisoned."

He smiled, there’s a sinister enjoyment, "How naive, aren’t you? Drinking whatever’s given to you?"

"Hmm?"

Chen Ruzhi’s eyes widened, "You...!"

Suddenly she felt her breathing tighten, unable to utter the rest of her words, her heart constricted, thumping like it would stop the next second, suffocating.

Blood rushed directly to her brain.

Gu Nanjiu looked at Chen Ruzhi indifferently, holding a bottle, "The antidote is right here, will you sign?"

His gaze was cold, bloodthirsty, like a ruthless demon.

Coincidentally, the two men behind him were coldly watching, as if this was the most normal thing.

Chen Ruzhi knew all too well Gu Nanjiu’s nature, frostily cold, cold to the core.

Her lips trembled, hand clutching her heart, "I’ll sign, I’ll sign..."

Gu Nanjiu curled his lips into a wicked smile, pulling a pen from his suit pocket, tossing it on the floor, "Had you done this earlier, wouldn’t it have been better?"

Chen Ruzhi, trembling, signed her name.

Gu Nanjiu picked up the transfer book, stood up, and without looking back, tossed the bottle of medicine, "In ten minutes, I don’t want to see you in the company anymore."

Chen Ruzhi crawled to pick up the medicine, trembling as she fed it into her mouth.

Shen Su and Kash followed Gu Nanjiu out, without looking back even once.

In a short period, the group changed ownership twice.
