C134 He Took Back His Power and Rewarded Rolls Royce Cullinan

Hsiao Ruloong's gaze flickered with surprise.

He hadn't anticipated that Lin Dong wouldn't be alone; he had brought a number of his own men with him.

These men had a rugged look about them, and the weapons they carried were notably heavy, clearly not the ordinary sort.

Hsiao Ruloong feared that his handful of underlings wouldn't stand a chance against them.

Biting his lip, he declared, "Lin Dong, you obviously came prepared! But don't think for a second that having people with you will give you the upper hand over me. I'll have you know that I call the shots around here. Believe me when I say that with just one word from me, this Rihao KTV will shut down instantly!"

His voice dripped with arrogance as he spoke.

Manager Yang, who had been roughed up by Lin Dong, leaped forward and shouted, "I'll be the first to quit! I'm taking my staff on leave, and we won't come back unless Brother Long gives the word!"

Among the group, there were several other managers.

They raised their voices in agreement.

"That's right! We only listen to Brother Long! We'll quit if we have to!"

"See how you manage when there's no one left to run the place!"

"Just hand over the shares to Brother Long, or else you'll regret it!"

...

Listening to the managers, Hsiao Ruloong let out a cold laugh; these were the people he counted on.

He had strategically placed his loyalists within Rihao KTV, who had long since taken control of the entire club.

He was the one who decided if the business would open or close!

Wiping the blood from his mouth, Hsiao Ruloong turned to Lin Dong and said, "See that, Boss Lin? You're nothing without me. If you want to keep making money, you'd better fall in line and do as I say!"

Lin Dong, hands in his pockets, was unfazed.

He responded coolly, "Listen to you? What makes you think you can threaten me? Mark my words, you and your goons aren't going anywhere. If I don't make you all end up in jail scrubbing the floors, then my name isn't Lin Dong!"

Hsiao Ruloong's expression shifted abruptly.

He hadn't anticipated that his trump card would pose no threat to Lin Dong.

With a grimace, he declared, "Fine! It's do or die! Let's see who can outlast whom!"

"Boss!"

A voice called out.

Lin Dong glanced over and noticed Zhao Lee approaching with a group of people. The group, consisting of both men and women, had expressions of joy and excitement.

Seeing Zhao Lee and her entourage, Lin Dong felt a surge of happiness. Clearly, Zhao Lee had rallied those who shared their vision.

Upon spotting Zhao Lee, Hsiao Ruloong's face turned sour as he spat, "Zhao Lee! You dare to revolt!"

Zhao Lee, with a steely gaze, retorted, "Hsiao Ruloong, you think you're untouchable? We're not your slaves, and with the boss here, you'll have to get past us if you want to defy him!"

"Yes! We won't allow it!"

"Scoundrel Hsiao Ruloong, just leave!"

"Let's stand by the boss! Let's be true to ourselves!"

"We demand fairness!"

...

The employees behind Zhao Lee raised their voices in support.

Witnessing their defiance, Hsiao Ruloong bellowed, "Insurrection! I'll dock your pay! You're all fired!"

"Those aren't your calls to make."

Lin Dong spoke calmly, "I'm the boss here. I'm the only one who can adjust their salaries and positions."

His voice, though soft, carried across the crowd, silencing the clamor.

Hands in his pockets, Lin Dong faced Hsiao Ruloong and his followers, saying, "My company will run just fine without you. Hsiao Ruloong, I gave you the chance to walk away, and yet you chose to confront me. You've squandered your opportunity. I'll keep my word and ensure you spend your future behind bars."

He then instructed, "Call the police."

With a glare, Zhao Lin whipped out her phone and dialed the emergency number with resolve.

Meanwhile, Lin Ruobing also took out her phone to call a lawyer she knew. With issues of financial corruption at stake, having a lawyer present would help clarify matters.

She had thought everything through with great care.

Hsiao Ruloong realized the situation was escalating rapidly. His own men were no match for Lin Dong's crew, prompting him to step forward decisively. Amidst the wary stares of those around him, he suddenly dropped to his knees before Lin Dong.

"WOW!" The crowd gasped in unison.

It was beyond anyone's expectations that Hsiao Ruloong would actually kneel to Lin Dong, especially after his earlier display of aggression and even after Lin Dong had kicked him in the chin and issued threats. Yet there he was, displaying such vulnerability as he knelt; the turnaround was so astonishing that everyone struggled to contain their laughter.

"Boss, I admit my mistake. I don't want anything else, just please don't call the police. I'll get out of your way immediately—consider it as if I was never here!" Hsiao Ruloong pleaded with Lin Dong, his hands clasped together in a gesture of desperation.

Cornered by Lin Dong's tactics, he was at his wit's end. At that moment, he was willing to give up all his authority just for Lin Dong to spare him.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the random mission. Reward: one Rolls Royce Cullinan!" announced the system notification.
