Chapter 97: Punishing Li Tao
Li Tao's expression darkened when he heard that. " What do you mean our stock prices have been decreasing?"
" We have already hit the first lower circuit. However, the situation isn't looking." The secretary replied hurriedly. " It looks like some big companies are targeting our stocks, making them fall like cards."
" Damn it! Who the hell are they? Do they think my company is a playing ground?" Li Tao was enraged.
However, at that moment, another person rushed into the office. He was the head of the marketing department.
" Boss, This isn't good! Many of our clients are canceling our orders! Some of them are saying that we have betrayed them! I don't know how they know but…"
Li Tao's feet turned cold when he heard the news from the marketing department. His brain worked fast as he kicked his chair and knelt before his desk, opening his hidden compartment.
" No-no! NO! NO! NOO! WHERE? WHERE ARE THEY!?"
His brain buzzed the moment he saw all the flash drives and files inside it was gone. Cold sweat drenched his back as Li Tao felt his heart skipping several beats at once.
" Ch-Chairman Li?"
" Boss! Are you alright!?"
" Let him get on the seat!"
" Find him!" Li Tao spoke in a trembling voice. Both the people before him were stunned.
" Find who, Boss?"
" FIND THE BASTARD WHO CAME TO MY OFFICE AND STOLE MY STUFF!" Li Tao roared, almost spraying the faces of his subordinates with his spit.
" Ye-Yes!"
" I am calling the surveillance department right away!"
Li Tao kept trembling as he loosened his tie. ' No! If…If those things get out to the media, I will be finished! No matter what, I need to catch that damned bastard!'
" Si-Sir! We got news from the surveillance department! But it's absurd!"
" What is it?!"
" Nothing happened last night!" The secretary took a breath of cold air as he spoke. " It was completely clean. The patrolling officers were also there and they didn't see anything."
" Also, your office camera was also working properly. And, it didn't catch any intruder."
" No! How is this possible?! I saw the videos yesterday before going!" Li Tao roared. " You think I am some sort of fool? You bastards! Hurry up and check everything at once!"
" But, Boss! We already checked everything thoroughly."
" Fuck! Then go and investigate everything! Get the information of those who are attacking our stocks!"
Saying that Li Tao got up and walked away hurriedly. Everyone looked at him with a strange gaze but they returned back to do damage control.
' Fuck! Fucl! I need to escape! I need to get out of this damned country!'
' The company…It will get over with it. All I need to do is to get out and hide for a while!'
" Go to my third private quarters! Hurry up!" Li Tao shouted to his driver as he left the office quickly.
However, the moment he left, a black colored car started to follow his car.
Jia Hao was enjoying the scallion pancakes with Su Lan and Su Xing'er. But at that moment, his phone rang.
" Ah, Sister Yunshi, I believe you have already started your job?"
" Can't you even greet properly to a beautiful lady?" Feng Yunshi sighed. " Anyway, I wanted to tell you that Li Construction Group and our Heizhou Conglomerate have already started to attack the Qingzhu Jewelry. The Tianguang Hall is also helping us to suppress Qingzhu Jewelry."
" Another thing is, We got the news that Li Tao rushed out from his office in an anxious and hurried state. Hehe, I guess he already knew about his secrets getting leaked."
" I have already asked my people to follow him."
Jia Hao's lips curled when he heard that. " Very well, Sister Yunshi. Just give me the address of his hideout. After that, I will handle Li Tao while you handle his company and reputation."
" Wa-Wait, What are you going to do?"
" Hehe, It's a secret~"
Jia Hao chuckled as he ended his call. Su Xing'er and Su Lan looked at him.
" Who are you talking about, Hao'er?"
Su Xing'er felt like she understood what Jia Hao was talking about. " Must be his friend, Big Sis Lan. You don't need to worry."
Jia Hao was surprised when he saw Su Xing'er was helping him. He put a pancake in his mouth as he turned around.
" I am going out for a while, but I shall return soon. Do you need anything from outside?"
" Ah, I want to eat beef tonight. So, bring some back when you come." Su Xing'er spoke.
" Ah, Fine choice. I shall keep it in mind. Tonight…is going to be very eventful." Jia Hao grinned as he turned and left.

" Haah! Those bastards! How dare they! Hmph! Once I recover my money, I shall make a comeback!"
" But first! How did someone manage to get those things? Other than me, not a single soul knew about those things!"
*CRASH!*
Li Tao threw the wine glass, making it shatter into a thousand pieces. His face was red, trembling with anger and anxiety. In his forty years of work, he never felt this overwhelmed before.
The flash drives contained all his sins, which he did very passionately.
Most of them were sex tapes, which were used for blackmailing materials. Wives, daughters, sisters of his enemies, and others, whom he raped and filmed.
He enjoyed watching them when he was alone, relishing the torment he inflicted on everyone.
Using those, he kept them under his check. Not to mention, he even used them to slowly ruin their lives and make them the stepping stone for Qingzhu Jewelry.
Recently, he felt that Su Yunqi's Blue Crystal Corporation was taking over the gems and precious treasure market. He felt that if he could merge the company with his, he could become one of the overlords of the Tianshu Nation's jewelry and artifact market, competing with other existing powers.
However, Su Yunqi was a tough woman who didn't yield to his advances. Being a beautiful widow and obstacle, Li Tao's bestial instincts grew as he created various ploys to get her.
Unfortunately, the moment he laid his hands on Su Yunqi, he felt everything was going awry in his life.
' That damned bitch! I won't let her go!'
*CRING! CRING!*
" Mr. Li! You are in quite a luck. We have prepared everything you asked for. Be ready today's evening."
" Thank you. I have already sent money to your account." Li Tao nodded as he ended the call.
' Phew, Thankfully, I always have a backup plan. I managed to secure a way to safely get out of this country. Hehe, No one would be able to catch me.'
' Just wait! Once I return…'
*PAAA!*
Li Tao felt his brain buzzing as he shot forward, smashing his face on the ground. He flet like a giant bear slapped the behind of his head.
" KHUAAKKHH!"
He spat a mouthful of salty saliva as he turned around, trying to restore his blurry vision.
" Wh-Which bastard…"
Li Tao stopped midway as he gazed carefully at that face. His expression changed as he recognized him instantly.
" Yo-You! You are the nephew of that bitch, Su Yunqi!"
" How! How did you find this place?!"
Jia Hao gave a cold snicker when he heard Li Tao. " You are talking like I can't simply follow you. You really thought you are untouchable, huh?"
" Bas-Bastard! So it was you!"
Li Tao's eyes turned red when he heard Jia Hao's words. Gritting his teeth, he got up and clenched his fist.
" Yeah, You bastard! It was me."
Jia Hao snorted as he took a step forward. " You really thought you can just fuck around with women and get unscathed?"
" Trying to gather black material on Aunt Su, kidnapping Xing'er and Su Lan, you think I will simply let it go?"
" Heh! A brat like you…To think a little bastard made me fall to this."
Li Tao rubbed his face as he laughed crazily. " But it was truly foolish for you to come here alone!"
" Now, You have to die!"
With a roar, Li Tao threw a punch at Jia Hao, with hate and anger burning in his eyes.
He was a secret MMA Fighter for ten years, using both brute force and cunning to defeat and even kill his enemies.
' I will fucking crush him and make him beg for mercy!'
Jia Hao sighed as he raised his palm, and caught Li Tao's fist.
*CRAACCKK! CRACKK!*
" ARRRGHHHH! MY HAND!"
Jia Hao used his brute force and crushed his fist like a walnut, breaking his bones into pieces. Li Tao fell to his knees as he held his mangled fist, tears falling from his eyes from agony.
" Suffer, You fucker." Jia Hao's lips curled upwards. " Thanks to you, I ripped quite a lot of my hair in my past life."
" I was planning to send you to the jail. However, I think now, making you disappear would be a better choice. So after that, Blue Crystal Company can swallow your company."
" Yo-You! What do you want to do?!"
" Well, How about we start with ripping your fingernails?"
Jia Hao replied with a bright smile.
