C16 The Storm Was Coming!

On the other end of the line, Sunn Wanfu's voice carried an air of ease.

The task Faang Yu had entrusted to him was a piece of cake.

Going up against the Wang family, one of the four major clans, would have been a headache for Sunn Wanfu, requiring a considerable amount of time and effort.

But Zhao Gaang was a different story. He had built his empire on the back of the grey market, clawing his way to wealth through fierce and ruthless competition.

He was involved in countless shady dealings, many of which skirted the edges of the law.

Zhao Gaang's fortune was only in the billions, and Sunn Wanfu held the man's Achilles' heel.

As the wealthiest man in Yundian Province, with assets in the hundreds of billions, Sunn Wanfu could easily take down Zhao Gaang.

After ending the call, Faang Yu settled into the sofa, his gaze reflecting the same ease he had heard in Sunn Wanfu's voice.

The others, overhearing Faang Yu's conversation, found the whole thing laughable.

"Make the Zhao family vanish from Diannan City in half an hour? What a joke," they scoffed, their eyes brimming with derision.

They believed Faang Yu was all talk. Even Wang Kai couldn't make the Zhao family disappear from Diannan City in such a short time.

Faang Yu was just a nobody, a country bumpkin who had crawled out from some backwater hollow.

The idea that he could make the Zhao family disappear from Diannan City was beyond belief to them, and their eyes showed it.

Zhao Gaang, despite the pain from the bullet wound, which thankfully hadn't hit any vital organs, managed to contain his suffering. He wouldn't have any serious problems for now.

With a cold laugh, he glared at Faang Yu, "Kid, I'm curious to see how you plan to bankrupt me in half an hour.

If you can't make me disappear from Diannan City within that time, then today, I'll make sure you vanish from the face of the earth!"

Zhao Gaang's threat was fierce, but Faang Yu remained unfazed.

He casually lifted his glass of red wine, took a leisurely sip, and reclined with an air of nonchalance.

Faang Yu was confident; if Sunn Wanfu had assured him it could be done in half an hour, then it was as good as done.

Everyone stared at Faang Yu as if they were witnessing a fool in action.

To them, Faang Yu was a man of some talent, but his mental state seemed wildly off-kilter.

His arrogance was over the top, and they believed it would be his downfall before long.

As time ticked away, twenty minutes swiftly passed.

The entire hall was cloaked in an air of discomfort.

Yet Faang Yu remained the picture of ease, lounging on the sofa with a serene expression.

Just then, Su Ningshang hurried back into the room, visibly distressed.

She had been in touch with Old Master Su, who had assured her there was no cause for concern.

Old Master Su was confident that Faang Yu wouldn't engage in reckless behavior.

Given Faang Yu's audacity in challenging their adversaries, it was clear he had the self-assurance and resources to back up his boldness.

They needn't fret over his actions.

Nevertheless, Su Ningshang was under the impression that Elder Su had devised a plan to extricate Faang Yu from his troubles.

With Elder Su's intervention, she believed everything would be resolved.

Zhao Gaang fixed a cold gaze on Faang Yu, "Kid, you're down to your last ten minutes. Just ten more minutes!"

Faang Yu's demeanor remained unaffected, tranquil and composed.

"Relax. If you're marked for death, not even the heavens can save you. That's my word..."

Faang Yu's brazen confidence left the onlookers agape, unable to fathom his attitude.

Even Wang Kai's face flushed with anger at Faang Yu's brashness.

He had never encountered anyone so presumptuous, not even the primary heir of the Wang family could match this level of arrogance.

Faang Yu seemed to outclass even Diannan City's most notorious playboys.

Had it not been for Su Ningshang's evident concern for him, they might have mistaken Faang Yu for the scion of a prominent family from the height of summer.

"You little mongrel, all you've got is a big mouth. Just wait until I smash it in!" Zhao Gaang seethed at Faang Yu.

"Ding, dong~~" At that moment, Zhao Gaang's phone chimed with a notification.

Faang Yu coolly suggested, "Aren't you going to check your phone?"

"What does my phone have to do with you?" Zhao Gaang seethed with anger.

Yet, he still pulled out his phone and opened the message.

But the moment he saw it, he froze.

His bank account, containing tens of millions of yuan, was frozen!

This was only the beginning.

Before Zhao Gaang could even process this, a barrage of notifications flooded in.

"Ding! Ding! Ding!"

Message after message arrived in rapid succession.

"How can this be!" Zhao Gaang exclaimed in disbelief.

He stared at the texts on his phone: "Funds in your Flame Summer ICBC account have been frozen. Funds in your Flame Summer ABC account have been frozen. Funds in your Flame Summer BOC account have been frozen. Funds in your Flame Summer CCB account have been frozen!"

Cold sweat dripped down Zhao Gaang's forehead.

He glared at Faang Yu, his eyes filled with a menacing ferocity, "What exactly did you do?"

But before Zhao Gaang could finish,

the manager of his company called: "Mr. Zhao, it's bad news! Several of our partner companies have abruptly terminated their contracts with us!"

Soon after, another call came in: "Mr. Zhao, there's trouble! A group has arrived at the company claiming our product quality is substandard and they've launched an investigation!"

Sweat continued to stream down as Zhao Gaang's face turned ashen with a mix of fear and confusion.

He was truly panicked now, fearful that all these calamities were connected to the young man before him.

Especially since these incidents began unfolding shortly after Faang Yu's phone call.

In a voice tinged with terror, Zhao Gaang demanded, "What have you done? Why are all the companies I work with canceling their contracts? Why are all my bank accounts frozen?"

The room fell into a stunned silence as everyone's faces turned pale.

A tidal wave of shock surged within them as they gazed at Faang Yu, struggling to comprehend the situation.

Even Wang Kai was unsteady on his feet, scarcely able to believe that Faang Yu could be behind all this.

Yet, the ordeal was far from over...
