?Chapter 743: Chapter 743: Unrepentant_1 Chapter 743: Chapter 743: Unrepentant_1 “Is that Xiao Feng’s voice?!”

Upon hearing the voice on the other end of the phone, Zhang Minghui immediately realized what was happening, and his expression instantly became panicked.

Zhang Mingpeng also stopped in his tracks and turned around.

The others looked at Zhang Minghui nervously.

They had all heard the voice that had just come from the phone very clearly.

It was unmistakably the voice of Zhang Minghui’s only son, who was also the current Young Master of the Zhang Family, Zhang Feng.

As the Family Head, Zhang Minghui quickly regained some composure, then hurriedly asked, “Xiao Feng, what happened?

Where are you now?”

Over the phone, Zhang Feng cried out, “Dad, save me…

They’ve captured me, and if you don’t come to save me…

they said…

they said they’ll chop off my hand…

Hurry, come and save me…”

“Who captured you?”

Zhang Minghui raged, “Who dares to have the audacity to lay a hand on my son, Zhang Minghui?

I’ll flay their skin.”

“Tsk, tsk, Brother Zhang, it’s been just a few days since I saw you last, and I didn’t expect your temper to have grown.”

Another gloomy voice suddenly came through the phone.

Zhang Minghui’s face changed, “It’s you, Song Tong!”

Song Tong replied with a cold laugh, “It seems Brother Zhang’s memory has not deteriorated.”

Zhang Minghui shouted angrily, “Song Tong, you’ve captured my son, what do you want?”

“What do I want?

You should first ask what your son is doing.

He dared to cheat in my casino, and he was caught red-handed!” Song Tong said calmly, “Heh, what a useless son you have.

Of all the things he could do, he had to resort to cheating.”

“Brother Zhang, you know the rules here.

If anyone cheats at the tables, especially when they’re caught, chopping off a hand is the least of their worries.

Otherwise, who would feel safe playing here in the future?”

“However, that being said, Zhang Feng is still a child who calls me ‘uncle’, and I’m not heartless.

In consideration of the longstanding relationship between our two families, I’m not against showing some leniency.”

“Of course, if I’m willing to compromise, the Zhang Family must also give me some compensation.”

“That Daming Coal Mine you have, I’ve heard it’s doing quite well.

To tell you the truth, I’m somewhat interested…”

With this last sentence, Song Tong revealed his true intentions.

Zhang Minghui’s face was extremely ugly, and he clutched his cell phone so tightly that he almost wanted to crush it.

The faces of those around him were also very unpleasant.

Without a doubt, Song Tong was clearly extorting the Zhang Family, with their Daming Coal Mine being his target.

The Daming Coal Mine was the largest coal mine in Lishui City, and even within the entire Tianyun Province, it was enough to rank in the top three.

The profits from this coal mine were astronomical each year and were now the economic pillar of the Zhang Family.

At the height of the Zhang Family’s prosperity, the coal mines ranked in the top three in Tianyun Province all belonged to them, and numerous other families had looked on with envy.

However, due to the backing of the Xu Family behind the Zhang Family, others dared not make a move against them.

Only after the Zhang Family was abandoned by the Xu Family did those greedy individuals reveal their true colors, continuously suppressing the Zhang Family and snatching various resources from their hands.

Now, the Zhang Family was left with only this last coal mine.

Moreover, the Song Family had once snatched a coal mine from their hands.

If the Zhang Family lost this last coal mine, it could be said that they were being pushed to a dead end, where even sustaining the family could become problematic.

Zhang Minghui raged, “Song Tong, do not push me too far!”

Song Tong chuckled, “Why so enraged, Brother Zhang?

I merely made a small suggestion to help solve the current situation.

Of course, it is up to Brother Zhang to decide what to do.

I certainly can’t force Brother Zhang.

However, I must say this upfront, if Brother Zhang does not accept my little suggestion, then I will have no choice but to proceed according to the rules, and I apologize in advance.”

Zhang Minghui’s breathing grew rapid, his expression increasingly ugly.

????0.??

Song Tong smiled, “Out of respect for Brother Zhang, I’ll give you time to think.

But you can’t take longer than midnight.

If Brother Zhang has made up his mind, just bring the property deed of the coal mine to Tian Tian Le to see me, and we can talk.”

Zhang Minghui wanted to say something, but the call had already been hung up on the other end.

“This scourge, he’s really driving me to my death!” Zhang Minghui exclaimed angrily.

“This Song Tong, he’s really going too far, to actually lay hands on Xiao Feng.”

“I’ve told Xiao Feng so many times not to gamble, begged him to stop, but he just doesn’t change.

And now he’s finally caused a disaster!”

“No matter what, we cannot just hand over Daming Coal Mine.

It’s our last hope for the Zhang Family.”

“That’s right, if we lose this coal mine, even basic food and warmth could become a problem for our family.”

“So what should we do…”

Zhang Mingfei and the others were abuzz with discussion.

Speaking of Zhang Feng, he was very much like Xu Fan used to be, never engaging in proper business, and indulging in food, drink, prostitution, and gambling without fail.

It wasn’t until these past few years, as the Zhang Family became more destitute, that Zhang Feng had no choice but to somewhat restrain himself.

However, a leopard never changes its spots, and even after curtailing his ways, Zhang Feng still had many bad habits, gambling being one of them.

To force Zhang Feng to change this bad habit, the Zhang Family simply restricted his finances, but who would have thought that he would take such a risky move and cheat in the casino, only to be caught red-handed, with both the evidence and the goods.

Zhang Qinglan and Zhang Qinghui exchanged glances with the second brother Zhang Mingfei.

Zhang Mingfei had no choice but to step forward and ask with a hardened face, “Big brother, what should we do next?”

Before Zhang Minghui could speak, Zhang Mingpeng was the first to say, “What else can we do?

We must save Xiao Feng.”

Zhang Minghui’s look towards Zhang Mingpeng was immediately filled with gratitude.

In the past, Zhang Mingpeng was always contradicting him, but it was unexpected that at this crucial time, he’d stand up and support him.

Zhang Mingfei snorted, “Easy for you to say, but how can we actually go about rescuing him?

Surely we’re not going to hand over Daming Coal Mine to Song Tong?”

“What’s more important, money or people?

I am willing to give up my ten percent share,” said Zhang Mingpeng without hesitation.
