374: Chapter 374 The Secret of the Wang Family

Lin Heng waved goodbye to them one by one.

After finishing this, Lin Heng slowly withdrew the smile from his face.

He turned around, his gaze so calm it was somewhat terrifying.

"Brother..."

Lin Xiaoxiao was clearly a bit frightened.

At this moment, she no longer had her previous assertiveness, instead becoming as gentle as a little lamb.

But soon...

Lin Xiaoxiao pointed her finger at Wang Gang nearby.

"I was waiting for you properly at home, but who knew this guy would suddenly barge in and say he wanted to talk to me."

"You know I'm just a young girl and can't fight them..."

Lin Xiaoxiao toyed with the corner of her skirt innocently, speaking in a pitiful manner.

To her surprise, Lin Heng just gave a faint wave of his hand.

"Enough, stop pretending."

He shot a brief glance at Lin Xiaoxiao.

"We'll talk about whatever it is when we get back."

After saying that, Lin Heng turned his head and addressed Wang Gang, who was kneeling on the ground in a disheveled state.

"Follow me."

Wang Gang was stunned for a moment, then quickly stood up with the help of two of his lackeys.

Brushing the dust off his clothes, Wang Gang followed behind Lin Heng and hurried into the Courtyard House.

Meanwhile, Zhao Yong and the others, each sporting bruises on their heads, watched Lin Heng and Wang Gang leave with complex expressions.

Their gazes were complicated.

He turned his head and looked at his pitiful brothers-in-arms around him.

He spoke somewhat helplessly.

"Tell me, why are we doing this thankless job... For a salary of ten thousand yuan or so, why are we risking our lives..."

...

Soon.

The backyard of the Courtyard House.

An old peach tree stood in the center; it was now February, and many flower buds had sprouted, tightly wrapped against the cold wind.

Waiting for the next bloom.

"Speak, what is it?"

Soon, Lin Heng brewed himself a cup of spring tea. Sitting on a chair in the backyard, he watched the steam slowly rising from the stone table in front of him and spoke.

These words were clearly directed at Wang Gang.

From the beginning, Lin Heng had seen that this guy was hiding something, but he was just too embarrassed to speak because of the crowd outside.

"It's nothing, I just wanted to come and see Xiaoxiao, I really didn't mean anything else..."

"As for what happened with you, Big Brother, I truly didn't expect it at all. If I had known the person outside was you, I would never have let those guys stand guard out there in my life!"

Wang Gang reacted quickly and immediately spoke up.

Hearing this, Lin Heng chuckled.

If Lin Xiaoxiao hadn't been standing there, Lin Heng might have already told Wang Gang to get lost.

But since Lin Xiaoxiao had spoken up for him, Lin Heng was still willing to give the guy some chances.

As for whether he could seize them, that would depend on whether the guy was being sincere.

Additionally...

Lin Heng actually wanted to know why his sister, who clearly had no feelings for this guy, was speaking up for him...

If it wasn't what he suspected, then fine, but if it really was...

Then good luck to the Wang Corporation.

Soon, Lin Heng picked up the cup of tea, took a gentle sip, and without even looking at Wang Gang, spoke in a calm tone.

"The opportunity has been given to you. Whether you can seize it is your own business."

"This is the last chance I'm giving you. If you still don't tell the truth, then I'm sorry..."

"Not just you, but even the Wang Corporation behind you will have to disappear from this world."

Hiss...!

At these words, Wang Gang's spirit jolted.

His face quickly turned pale, and his scalp even felt numb.

"You know, I'm not talking about using an entity like the Longan Bureau."

Lin Heng reminded him again.

Wang Gang was already shocked into numbness; he gritted his teeth tightly, his face white, unable to say a single word.

At this moment, Wang Gang was restless and uneasy.

Even sitting there, he felt his legs actually going weak.

He knew everything Lin Heng said was true.

The other party truly had that kind of power!

"Brother... what are you doing?"

"He really just came up to say hello to me, he really didn't mean anything else. Aren't you making too much of a fuss?"

Seeing this, Lin Xiaoxiao's expression quickly changed. She held Lin Heng's arm, gritted her teeth, and spoke with difficulty.

However, Lin Heng just gently patted Lin Xiaoxiao's hand and gave her a look that said he knew what he was doing.

Then, Lin Heng looked at Wang Gang again.

"If you don't speak, do you really think I don't know your purpose?"

Although his voice was very calm, he had slightly raised his volume now.

Lin Heng's voice was naturally upright, peaceful, and full of vitality, but now with force behind it, it carried an interrogative tone. The listener felt a mental jolt, their face turning pale.

Wang Gang almost couldn't take it and nearly fell off his seat.

But he was still there, gritting his teeth and enduring.

Seeing this, Lin Heng narrowed his eyes slightly.

This guy definitely has something to hide!

Lin Heng became even more certain of his inner thoughts.

"Heh... still not talking? Are you planning to wait until I say it myself before you're satisfied?"

"Or do you want to take a gamble, thinking I don't know what's going on with you?"

Lin Heng continued to probe.

He took a sip of clear tea, looking up to watch the changes in Wang Gang's expression.

Sure enough!

It was exactly as he had guessed.

To this, Lin Heng continued speaking.

"Wanheng Real Estate behind your Wang Corporation—I remember quite a few deficits were exposed recently, weren't they? I heard there are already many unfinished buildings?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Wang Gang, who had managed to remain calm, suddenly widened his eyes.

He looked up abruptly, only to see a pair of shrewd and calculating eyes...

This guy...

How did he know!

Wang Gang was stunned.

He didn't expect that the ultimate secret of his trip would still be discovered by Lin Heng.

Tsk...!

Clearly, he had only intended to discuss this matter with Lin Xiaoxiao.

He didn't expect Lin Heng to intervene.

It seemed there was no other way.

Then again, given Lin Heng's abilities, it was probably within reason that he would know about Wanheng Group's affairs.

He had underestimated the other party.

Finally, Wang Gang let out a long breath.

"Big Brother Lin Heng, to be honest, something did indeed happen to Wanheng Group; we've incurred a considerable loss."

"Before long, Wanheng Group will have to undergo bankruptcy liquidation."

"I only sought out Lin Xiaoxiao as a last resort."

Wang Gang finally admitted it.

He sighed helplessly.

Originally, this wasn't something he should worry about, but faced with such a massive deficit, the pillar of the family hadn't slept for days and nights, making calls every night to beg for help.

The fair-weather friends around Wang Gang also slowly drifted away after hearing about this.

Having no other choice, he turned to Lin Xiaoxiao for help.
