CHAPTER 805
Fong Wei Ling stepped into his luxurious hotel suite, his polished leather shoes gliding smoothly over the marble floor accompanied Yi Wang Lei.
The suite exuded opulence, with its grand chandelier casting a warm glow on the elegant furniture and intricate artwork adorning the walls.
"So, tell me, what plans do you intend on making for the party to night?" Fong Wei Ling asked as he turned on his heels to face his friend.
"You know you guys missed the last party."
"Technically, we all did," Yi Wang Lei corrected. "In fact it wasn't a party if all of us wasn't included."
"Good you get the point, Wang Lie. So?"
"Chill out bro. It's all good. I will just need..." Yi Wang Lie's words were cut short when Fong Wei Ling's smartphone buzzed with an incoming call.
He swiftly retrieved it from his pocket, glancing at the screen to see that it was one of his subordinates.
"Oh... Hello," he answered, removing the phone from speaker. "Choi Tang, what is the matter?"
"Boss, there's something important to report."
"Okay. You can come over."
"I'm outside the door of your suite."
"Oh. Okay."
He gestured for Yi Wang Lei to wait and walked towards the door, answering the call.
"Sir, I have some urgent information," Choi Tang, one of Fong Wei Ling's most diligent subordinates voiced as he got in.
He paused when he saw Yi Wang lei.
"Relax and speak free."
"We have received credible intel about the recent mishap at Dream Star Corporation. It appears to be an act of sabotage," he explained quickly
"What?" Yi Wang Lei exclaimed earning stares from both of them. "What?" He shrugged. "We suspected an act on the ye family but not the company."
"I expected both," Fong Wei Ling stated. "When was this?" he asked Choi Tang.
"Just yesterday boss. They tried to burn Dream Star Corporation."
"Very classic," Fong Wei Ling stated as his gaze trailed off.
"You think?" Yi Wang Lie inquired and placed both hands on his waist. "It was on a celebration."
"And I know only one person who is as cruel enough to do this."
"True boss. Chairman Zhang was behind this and the one who stopped them was none other than the company's previous chairman, Ye Sheng."
Fong Wei Ling's eyes narrowed, his mind immediately assessing the gravity of the situation.
Chairman Zhang was a formidable adversary, known for his cunning and ambition. The fact that he had resorted to sabotaging Ye Cheng's company before the latter attacked, showed his was healthy and willing to go to extreme lengths to protect his vested interests.
"Tell me everything you know, Choi Tang," Fong Wei Ling replied, his voice steady and authoritative.
Choi Tang nodded and he began detailing the scenario. "From what we know, our sources indicate that Chairman Zhang had been colluding with rival corporations to undermine Dream Star's position in the market."
"Welp not news. I knew that old fry wouldn't be able to let go," Yi Wang Lei commented.
"Yes sir. He orchestrated the mishap by manipulating internal systems, causing a major disruption in the company's operations. Thankfully, our team managed to detect the irregularities before any significant damage occurred and we notified Dream Star Corporation."
"Good. Looks like ye Cheng owes me one again, while he is busy playing hubby with his wife."
"From the look of things, I think his father is the one with the most thanks. Burning Dream Star Corporation would have been a fucking major loss," Yi Wang Lie correctedly pointed out.
"Sometimes I hate it when you are right," Fong Wei Ling countered.
"Better me than Ye Cheng."
"Sure, I can toast to that." Fong Wei Ling laughed as he nodded his head.
"Now..." He turned his attention back to Choi Tang.
"Yes boss."
"Where are the culprits?"
"Ye Sheng has them in for questioning and I think he got a big catch he wasn't willing to let the Fong mercenary handle."
Fong Wei Ling listened intently, his mind working swiftly to piece together the puzzle. He recognized the immense threat that Chairman Zhang posed not only to Dream Star Corporation but to his own empire as well.
If left unchecked, Chairman Zhang's machinations could have far-reaching consequences, not just for the business world but also for the stability of the country.
He was an unstable greedy bastard that everyone could agree needed to be diluted or this time disposed of.
"Choi Tang, gather all available evidence and bring it to me immediately," Fong Wei Ling commanded. "This is a delicate matter, and we must handle it with utmost discretion. I want a comprehensive report on Chairman Zhang's activities and connections."
"Yes boss."
Fong Wei Ling averted his gaze to Yi Wang Lei. "Looks like we need to move up with our earlier plans, Wang Lei. Exposing his true intentions and ensuring that justice is served may be twitched in an ugly manner."
"Sure, but Ye Cheng and the others must be aware too."
Their eyes met, and a silent understanding passed between them. They were about to embark on a mission that would test their courage, and strategic acumen.
"Yi Wang Lei," Fong Wei Ling said, his voice low but resolute. "Prepare for a battle. I believe Chairman Zhang may have something up his sleeve and he is not to be underestimated."
"Relax. We will uncover his web of deceit and bring him down, no matter the cost."
Fong Wei Ling nodded, a steely resolve etched on his face.

On Sunday the next morning, Li Jing and Ye Cheng headed out first for breakfast only to meet up with Tang Zixin at the breakfast table.
The second Li Jing saw him, she pulled Ye Cheng back and attempted to turn away but Ye Cheng shook his head and held her hand tight in a reassuring manner.
"Chill. I realize yesterday that I behaved completely immature and that was very wrong of me. I shouldn't have to make you choose between us anymore than you already have."
Li Jing stared at him wide-eyed before but found it difficult to respond to his words. That was big of him.
"Hey do not look so surprised, even I can come to a compromise."
