Chapter 423: The Methods Are Really Something
Chapter 423: The Methods Are Really Something
The court staff said, "A few days ago, Mr. Tang Jinglong’s father, Tang Zhenshan, after undergoing DNA testing with Geng Yu, was found to be a collateral relative of Geng Yu and has inheritance rights to Jiangcheng Business College. He’s demanding the return of shares, and the official auction price at the time was sixty million. The authorities will refund this sixty million to you, and you and Mr.
Jiang will need to return the shares to Mr. Tang Zhenshan. If you have no objections, sign the document, and the sixty million will be refunded to your account within four or five working days."
Over the past year, Xu Yang had learned quite a bit of legal knowledge.
Hearing the court staff’s words, Xu Yang finally understood Tang Jinglong’s tactics.
Put simply, the transaction was wrong from the start, and all subsequent transactions were null and void. The current holder needed to return the shares to the heir.
And the money to be refunded to him could only be according to the official auction price at that time.
The auction price was a mere sixty million.
And the money he and Jiang Yuheng spent to acquire Jiangcheng Business College amounted to twenty billion.
Moreover, the sixty million wouldn’t even come from Tang Jinglong, but from the authorities.
It was as if, by simply producing a DNA test report, Tang Jinglong managed to take away the school from him and Jiang Yuheng.
Netting twenty billion!
Naturally, Xu Yang wasn’t about to take this huge loss lying down. He looked at Tang Jinglong and asked coldly, "What happens if I object?"
Feigning a sigh, Tang Jinglong said, "Mr. Xu, I know this is hard for you, and we are friends after all. But my dad insists on retrieving the school. Out of consideration for our friendship, I’ll discuss with my dad about compensating you and Jiang Yuheng with one billion. How does that sound?"
Xu Yang sneered, "I really didn’t expect you to use such tactics to seize my property. Truly an eye-opener."
With the officials refunding sixty million and Tang Jinglong offering compensation of one billion, he and Jiang Yuheng would still be down by eighteen billion four hundred million.
Losing money was not the main issue, after all, neither he nor Jiang Yuheng were unable to afford the loss.
If it had been a normal business operation, even significant financial loss wouldn’t have prompted a complaint from either of them.
But given Tang Jinglong’s blatant cunning and aggression, Xu Yang was certainly not about to take the hit lying down.
However, it must be said that he currently had no way to immediately counter Tang Jinglong’s tactics.
Now the police and court staff had arrived, clearly acknowledging the ruling.
In other words, Tang Jinglong was fully prepared.
Unless the evidence was overturned, all the talking in the world would be useless.
Indeed, one of the police officers sighed and said, "Mr. Xu, this is supported by law, and we hope you can understand."
"I understand, but I am not going to let someone just take my property away," Xu Yang said with a cold smile, and turned to leave.
Staying here was pointless; the key was to figure out how to get the school back.
The court had recognized the DNA test that proved that Tang Jinglong’s father, Tang Zhenshan and that Geng Yu were collateral relatives.
He did not believe there was any true familial relationship between them.
Obviously, this was just Tang Jinglong’s ploy.
Watching Xu Yang leave, Tang Jinglong feigned concern, "Mr. Xu, I hope you can stay calm. We’re friends, and I will negotiate with my dad for more compensation for you."
"Tang Jinglong, you hypocrite, wait for my retaliation," Xu Yang replied without turning back, leaving a parting shot as he exited the principal’s office.
Leaving the school, Xu Yang saw Ma Yangrong and Jiang Zhiyong waiting for him at the door.
He had summoned them to discuss the situation as soon as possible.
The three got into Xu Yang’s Rolls-Royce Cullinan.
Jiang Zhiyong drove, while Xu Yang and Ma Yangrong sat in the back seat.
Xu Yang asked, "How’s the situation? Is everything clear now?"
Ma Yangrong replied, "It’s all clear. The third-party organization for the identification, called Leading Victory Identification Agency, receives a donation of twenty million from Tang Jinglong’s Radiance Charity Association every year. In this agency, they could even identify Tang Jinglong as Liu Bang’s son if they wanted to. I think we should solve the problem at its root.
As long as we have the real identification result, we won’t be afraid of Tang Jinglong. Tang Jinglong has connections, but so do we. During this period, our team has built a vast network of relationships, which is now no worse than that of the ordinary noble families, and it’s still quickly expanding. Facing a noble family like the Tang Family should not be a problem."
Xu Yang was originally planning to start with the identification results and said, "Good, have someone take care of it."
Ma Yangrong immediately called a field agent and put the call on speaker.
Once connected, Ma Yangrong asked, "Have you guys found that grave of Geng Yu I told you to look for?" Your journey continues with empire
The field agent replied bitterly, "Boss Ma, I was just about to call and report to you. Geng Yu’s grave has just been blown up, and we can no longer obtain Geng Yu’s DNA."
Ma Yangrong exclaimed, "What, blown up?"
The field agent replied, "Yes, blown up. I just got here and witnessed the explosion. It seems there are some roadworks going on. It must have been those people working on the road who did it. It can’t be such a coincidence. Someone must not want us to get Geng Yu’s DNA."
Xu Yang let out a cold laugh.
This Tang Jinglong’s methods are really something.
He must have anticipated that we would seek Geng Yu’s DNA for retesting, so he had the man’s grave blown up.
Now there is no evidence to overturn Tang Jinglong’s test report.
Ma Yangrong said, "Alright then, you guys pull out."
After that, he hung up the phone.
Xu Yang asked, "Apart from DNA testing, is there any other way?"
Ma Yangrong answered, "We can have our field agents infiltrate that identification agency and steal the test sample. The sample is definitely incorrect; it’s just that the test result was randomly fabricated. As long as we get the test sample and retest it, that’s all we need. I’ve already arranged for people to go."
Xu Yang shook his head and said, "If Tang Jinglong has thought of us seeking Geng Yu’s DNA and arranged for the grave to be blown up, he must have also anticipated that we might send someone to steal the sample. If things are as expected, that identification agency might have already run into trouble, and the sample must have been destroyed."
Ma Yangrong raised his eyebrows and immediately made another call, still with the speaker on.
Once connected, the other person said, "Boss Ma, there was a fire at the identification agency. All the samples in the agency have been destroyed, and many people were injured. The agency itself almost burned down."
Just as expected!
It seems Tang Jinglong is quite skilled at playing this game.
He must have done such things frequently.
Otherwise, how could he have thought of so many contingencies?
After hanging up the phone, Ma Yangrong’s face looked rather ugly.
These two moves were what he and his team came up with, both capable of turning the tables if successful.
Now both moves were rendered useless.
Xu Yang patted his shoulder, "Old Ma, don’t be like this. This is just the beginning. We all know what kind of person Tang Jinglong is. It will be relatively easy to deal with him. Have someone thoroughly investigate how many times he has done such things before, and figure out all of his tricks. If we want to counterattack, we have to make it a fatal blow."
Previous investigations into Tang Jinglong were only preliminary.
At most, they provided some results and information on what Tang Jinglong had done.
Now, to counterattack, we need to understand Tang Jinglong’s methods.
Only by knowing the enemy and oneself can we win every battle.
"Okay," Ma Yangrong nodded and immediately made a call to have the hackers start searching.
"Yuheng, drive us back to the company," Xu Yang said.
