"Young Master Shi, words must be backed by evidence. Who can prove that your father and Elder Qiu died at Mr. Jiang's hands? Even if we take a step back and assume that Mr. Jiang did kill them, it's only because your father and Elder Qiu dared to provoke the tiger, which means they deserved their fate!"
Facing Shi Lang's angry curses, Zhu Ge Yuheng still spoke calmly.
"Damn your ancestors! Zhu Ge Yuheng, you still dare to pretend with me? You were there that night, you and that bastard Jiang Feng are just the same, you share in the blame for my father and Elder Qiu's deaths, and you won't escape. Sooner or later, I'll make you pay for this!" Shi Lang shouted angrily.
Zhu Ge Yuheng remained expressionless, given his status and position, there was no need for him to waste words with a stray dog.
"And you! How can you face my father? How did my father treat you when he was alive? And now you want to sell off Shi Family's shares, is this how you repay my father? Fortunately, I invited Young Master Yan here today, otherwise, you ungrateful ones would let Shi Family change its surname to Chu!"
Seeing that Zhu Ge Yuheng ignored him, Shi Lang turned his head and shouted at the more than ten shareholders.
More than ten shareholders all kept their heads down, saying nothing.
According to seniority, each of them was an uncle or elder to Shi Lang, and it was very disrespectful for Shi Lang to yell at them like this. Moreover, they all held important positions in the Shi Family, and although Shi Lang was the Crown Prince, he was just a student and not qualified to issue orders to them.
Secondly, if Shi Lang truly stood up himself to stop the Chu Family and protect his family's legacy, that would be understandable. But now, bringing in a Yan Chen, this was even worse than the Chu Family; it was a case of driving away the leopard at the front door and welcoming the tiger at the back!
Is it better to let the Shi Family change its surname to Yan instead of Chu?
Everyone in Binhai knows the Yan Family eats people without spitting out the bones!
"Young Master Yan, you saw it! These are the ungrateful wolves my father raised when he was alive. When disaster strikes, none of them have even a bit of backbone, all thinking only of themselves. How blind was my father to recruit such a bunch of traitors!" Shi Lang, still angry, said to Yan Chen.
Yan Chen sneered at those fence-sitters, not even caring about them, and continued staring at Zhu Ge Yuheng: "Zhu Ge Yuheng, it seems my Yan Family really isn't what it used to be, no deterrent power at all. Are you planning to disregard my words?"
"Young Master Yan, if you insist on putting it that way, there's nothing I can do, but my stance won't change." Zhu Ge Yuheng raised his eyes to look at Chu Yan.
"Haha, good! It seems you really think I dare not touch you." Yan Chen sneered, "Zhu Ge Yuheng, Zhu Ge Yuheng, today I will show you what you are in my eyes!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged man with a stern and indifferent expression walked up from behind him.
Gu Hong, standing behind Zhu Ge Yuheng, was shocked. He immediately stepped forward and stood in front of Zhu Ge Yuheng!
Currently, Gu Hong, as the Security Minister of the Chu Group and promoted as a trusted aide by Zhu Ge Yuheng, was a reliable helper who followed him everywhere. His duty was to protect Zhu Ge Yuheng and Chu Feifei's safety.
At this moment, seeing that middle-aged man about to make a move on Zhu Ge Yuheng, he naturally had to come forward!
But even though it was his duty, facing that middle-aged man who seemed indifferent to everything, Gu Hong felt a pressure that came from the marrow of his bones.
Because, in a certain sense, the reason Zhu Ge Yuheng and Chu Feifei were trapped here was due to fear of this middle-aged man!
When this middle-aged man followed Yan Chen in, the terrifying aura he exuded completely intimidated everyone present, causing Gu Hong and several other Chu Family elites to not dare make a rash move!
This was also why Zhu Ge Yuheng previously told Chu Feifei that the opponent "came prepared".
"Hm? Didn't expect there are still loyal dogs like you in the Chu Family, with most of its capable men nearly dead?"
Yan Chen glanced disdainfully at Gu Hong and said to the middle-aged man, "Uncle Zhong, it's time to let the world feel the wrath of my Yan Family and strengthen our prestige, give him a taste of our power!"
The man surnamed Zhong nodded. Knowing that Yan Chen wanted him to make an example, he raised his somber eyes and fixed them on Gu Hong, as if looking at a dead object.
"What are you trying to do?" Gu Hong immediately tensed up, extremely vigilant!
"A trivial ant like you isn't worth my effort, but since the young master has spoken, I have no choice but to oblige!"
As soon as the man surnamed Zhong finished speaking, his figure blurred, and with an overwhelming force, he punched directly at Gu Hong!
"Hiss!!"
The entire conference room was stunned, not expecting the man surnamed Zhong to make a move so suddenly!
Moreover, even those who didn't understand martial arts could hear that the punch from the man surnamed Zhong compressed the air, producing a muffled roar!
Gu Hong's pupils contracted, and he instinctively raised his fists to block, but the other's punch was too fast, giving him no time to react. It exploded upon him!
"Crack!!"
With the ear-piercing sound of bones breaking, Zhong Qing smashed Gu Hong's shielding arms to pieces on the spot, making Gu Hong's arms seem as if they were made of paper, flesh and blood exploding!
Then, Gu Hong screamed and flew backward, crashing heavily through the high window glass of the conference room before falling, his body covered with glass shards.
"Gu Hong!!!" Chu Feifei was greatly shocked, hurriedly standing up and running towards Gu Hong.
Unfortunately, at this moment, Gu Hong had already lost both forearms, with fresh blood gushing from the stumps, and he was writhing on the ground in pain, coughing up blood.
Zhu Ge Yuheng's expression shifted, worried about Gu Hong's injuries, but he eventually didn't get up, merely clenching his fists secretly, suppressing his inner rage as he coldly looked at Yan Chen and the man surnamed Zhong!
"Zhu Ge Yuheng, see this? Your people are just such pushovers in front of our Yan Family's experts. Do you still think I can't do anything to you?" Yan Chen sneered at Zhu Ge Yuheng.
He was very pleased with the man surnamed Zhong's action. That man was one of the top disciples of the two Great Sacrificial Officers in the Yan Family, specifically sent to help Yan Chen take control of the Shi Family smoothly.
Gu Hong, a seventh-grade expert, had no defense against the man surnamed Zhong, which further fueled Yan Chen's arrogance, making everyone in the conference room as silent as cicadas in winter!
The Yan Family was indeed still the Yan Family, silent until they struck with thunderous power!
The dozen or so shareholders, intimidated, were already beginning to lean towards Yan Chen in their hearts.
"Young Master Yan, even if you break my arms or even kill me here today, I will not do anything to harm the interests of the Chu Family! This is my promise to my deceased brother, to Fei'er, and to everyone in the Chu Family!" Zhu Ge Yuheng said resolutely, ready to face death!
