Chapter 49
The news hit Huang Yuming like a thunderbolt, his mind racing as he processed the events that had unfolded. The ruthless and seemingly invincible Hei Long had been crippled, both physically and metaphorically, in a matter of hours. The terror that Jiang Ning had unleashed wasn’t just a warning—it was a clear message: Power is not something you hold; it’s something that can be taken in an instant.
As he sat in the back of his Bentley, the rush of realization flooded him. The choice was clear now. All those businesses he had fought so hard to acquire, all the assets he had collected—they were nothing but a means to an end. And the end, he now understood, wasn’t about wealth or control. It was about survival, about aligning himself with a power so fierce that everything else seemed insignificant in comparison.
“Call all the directors to my office for a meeting now! No exceptions!” Huang Yuming barked, his voice sharp as a blade.
His mind was still reeling from the depth of what Jiang Ning had done. A man who had so casually crushed the notorious Hei Long, incapacitating him and his brother, turning their once-feared empire into rubble in a single, swift strike. The sheer ferocity and precision of Jiang Ning’s actions sent a cold shiver down Huang Yuming’s spine, but it also solidified his resolve.
At the meeting, Huang Yuming addressed his directors, his demeanor now calm and calculated. He was no longer the man who had clung to his assets with desperation; he was now a man who knew exactly what was at stake. He had received a directive from Jiang Ning, and there was no room for hesitation.
“We are transferring everything,” Huang Yuming said, his voice steady, though his mind was anything but. “Every legal business, every asset I own, is being transferred to Lin Yuzhen’s name. No questions, no discussions. This is not optional.”
The directors exchanged confused glances. Some were shocked, others wary. Lin Yuzhen? They had always known her as Huang Yuming’s long-time associate, but this sudden move was something none of them had anticipated.
“But… sir,” one of the directors hesitated, his voice laced with uncertainty. “What about the business we’ve built? The legal businesses we’ve fought for… it’s all going to her?”
Huang Yuming’s eyes narrowed, his expression hardening as he replied, “Everything I’ve done in the last five years was in service of a goal I failed to see clearly. Now, that goal has been revealed to me. These businesses? They’re not mine. None of it belongs to me.”
His words hung in the air, heavy and undeniable.
The room fell into a stunned silence. No one dared to speak. They could feel the shift in the atmosphere—something had changed in Huang Yuming. He wasn’t the same man who had been fighting tooth and nail for power and control. Now, he was simply a messenger, and the true force behind the change was someone far more dangerous.
“Do it,” Huang Yuming ordered, snapping out of his contemplation. “I’ve made my decision. Get it done by the end of the week. And let me be clear—anyone who thinks they can stand in the way will regret it.”
The directors were silent, but in their hearts, they understood: Huang Yuming had made his choice, and the man who had forced him to this decision was not someone they could oppose.
Outside the boardroom, Huang Yuming sat back in his office, staring at the city skyline. His thoughts were consumed with one thing: Jiang Ning. The man who had shown him a path he had never expected, one where power wasn’t about ownership, but about understanding and submitting to a force greater than himself.
And now, Huang Yuming was fully committed. He wasn’t just working for Jiang Ning’s interests—he was working for his survival. Because to oppose Jiang Ning, to go against his directive, would be the gravest mistake of his life.
“Wherever this leads,” Huang Yuming muttered to himself, “I’ll follow.”
And with that, he began making preparations. The once ambitious tycoon, now fully aware of his place in the larger scheme of things, would ensure that everything went according to plan.
