Since they brought it up, Xu Chunliang asked for his opinion on the matter.
Tong Guangsheng said there were two possibilities, one being that it was done by Hua Nian Group's competitors, and the other possibility was that it was a self-directed act, a bitter trick.
Xu Chunliang laughed. He had also considered the latter possibility, but when he saw how badly Dong Changhao had been beaten, he dismissed the idea. There's no way one's own people would be so ruthless, and Hua Nian Group is not a criminal group; using such a bitter trick wouldn't achieve the desired effect.
Tong Guangsheng, seeing his disbelief, reminded him that the commercial world is more perilous than the battlefield. On the battlefield, it's real knives and guns, mostly clear-cut fights.
In the commercial world, it's all plots, and the most common tactic is stabbing in the back.
Enemies on the battlefield are sinister and vicious, but they generally abide by rules, not without respectable opponents.
