Seeing this, everyone on the square was dumbfounded, turning to Elder Master Jiang with faces full of surprise.
They thought it was Elder Master Jiang’s strategy, but when they saw the shocked expression on his face, their hearts suddenly trembled violently, and they chanically turned their heads to look at Jiang Chen with disbelief.
Could it be... this guy did it? How did he manage it? Jiang Minghui didn’t notice at all?
"There’s nothing impossible!" A clear voice rang out, as Zhang Wenjie, ng Yanran, and Sun Jianshan ca to Jiang Chen’s side, looking at Jiang Minghui with unified scorn.
"You secretly swept up the stocks of Longteng Group, and the boss found out about it more than half a month ago. From that mont on, the boss also began sweeping up Longteng’s stocks, regardless of the consequences!" continued Zhang Wenjie.
ng Yanran chuckled and said, "You lack the boss’s boldness, his courage to burn his boats. The boss has put all his bets on this, truly regardless of the consequences. For this, he even gambled the future of Yi Chen Corporation and the Gong Family!"
"Right, although we three exerted so effort, the boss compensated us for our losses. The big battle with the Wang Family was to confuse you. In that battle, the boss lost two hundred billion, and during the stock sweep, his losses were countless, but it was worth it! Now, everything is worth it!" Sun Jianshan said excitedly.
ng Yanran and Sun Jianshan also started calling Jiang Chen "boss" along with Zhang Wenjie. They really acknowledged Jiang Chen from the bottom of their hearts, admiring him to the fullest!
"What? Going to war with our family was just a ruse? To confuse Jiang Minghui?"
"To use a ruse and throw in two hundred billion? This... Jiang Chen really doesn’t take money as anything?"
"Such boldness! Such a grand display of courage! To burn one’s boats, this is truly living on the edge!"
"Aweso! Epic! Idol! From today on, Young Master Chen is my idol, anyone who dares to say a bad word about Young Master Chen, I’ll bite them to death!"
Spectators exclaid in awe, looking at Jiang Chen with eyes filled with admiration.
"Using a war with us as a cover? This kid..." Wang Jianmin, the head of the Wang Family, watched Jiang Chen with a complex gaze, muttering to himself.
"Family Head Wang, you didn’t lose out, let’s just let bygones be bygones!"
"Yeah, let it be!"
"Right, let’s leave it at that!"
Zhang Chenggang, ng Chaochen, and Sun Yucheng spoke one after another.
Wang Jianmin turned his head and glanced at Zhang Chenggang and the other two with surprise, suddenly realizing sothing—due to Jiang Chen, it was likely that the Jiang Family, Zhang Family, ng Family, and Sun Family would now all be tied together in unity!
The alliance of four of the top eight families... just the thought of it was bone-chilling!
This was a pill Wang Jianmin knew he had to swallow!
"Impossible! Impossible!" Jiang Minghui murmured with a pale face.
Jiang Mingkun and the others all looked ashen-faced.
They had lost!
They had lost completely!
It was simply unimaginable.
"Ha ha ha..."
Suddenly, Jiang Minghui collapsed to the ground, laughing maniacally.
He had lost so thoroughly that there was no way out.
What was worse, he didn’t lose to Elder Master Jiang, whom he had been on guard against day and night, but to Jiang Chen—a young man who had only returned to the family for a month and whom he would rarely even glance at.
This was the ultimate mockery to Jiang Minghui.
He had lived for most of his life and yet, he couldn’t compare to the younger Jiang Chen in anything!
"Jiang Chen, you... just kill ."
Jiang Minghui was totally disheartened and seeking death.
"Jiang Minghui, I won’t kill you, but I will make you watch as the Jiang Family grows stronger and more glorious, as the Jiang Family soars without you!" Jiang Chen said coldly, "However, though you may escape death, you cannot escape punishnt!"
Whoosh!
Jiang Chen’s figure flashed in front of Jiang Minghui, grasping his two shoulders and giving them a vicious squeeze.
Crack!
Crack!
There were two overlapping sounds of bone cracking, and Jiang Minghui’s arms drooped helplessly at his sides.
"Ah!"
Jiang Minghui cried out in agony, his vision darkening as he toppled straight back.
Thud!
There he was, kneeling on the ground, passed out.
Jiang Chen reached out to grab the docunts from Jiang Minghui’s hand and, with a cold glance at the unconscious man, turned and walked toward Elder Master Jiang.
"Grandfather!"
Approaching Elder Master Jiang, Jiang Chen handed over the docunts, "The matters of Longteng Group will still require your attention to handle. I am, after all, not very familiar with the company. If possible, let Lin Lin study with you. In the future, she will be the president of Longteng!"
"Good, no problem!" Elder Master Jiang nodded emphatically.
Gong Jianqiang’s eyes lit up; he looked at Jiang Chen with satisfaction, muttering to himself.
The kid still seems to favor my daughter more. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have entrusted such an important position to her.
Haha, worth it!
But what he didn’t know was that the reason Jiang Chen wanted Gong Lin to beco the president of Longteng was because he intended for Ye Jingyi to be the president of Yi Chen. It wasn’t about favoring one over the other, but rather because the na Yi Chen Group originated from Ye Jingyi.
Yi Chen was originally created for him and Ye Jingyi.
...
In the end, the Jiang Family ancestor worship assessnt concluded with the announcent by Third Elder. Jiang Chen and Elder Master Jiang stayed behind to continue the ancestor worship, while the others went to the banquet hall in the third courtyard.
As for Jiang Minghui, he was taken away by Jiang Mingkun and others.
After all the tedious ceremonies were completed, Jiang Chen arrived at the banquet hall.
"Boss!"
"Boss!"
Zhang Wenjie and ng Yanran, who had been waiting early at the entrance of the banquet hall, rushed to greet Jiang Chen as soon as they saw him.
"Why aren’t you two going in?" Jiang Chen asked with a light chuckle.
With hope in his eyes, Zhang Wenjie looked at Jiang Chen and whispered, "Boss, are you an Innate Grandmaster now?"
Even though the guards had confird it, Zhang Wenjie still wanted to ask Jiang Chen personally.
ng Yanran also looked at Jiang Chen nervously.
Jiang Chen nodded in confusion, "Yes, what about it?"
"That’s fantastic! Boss, you must help !" Zhang Wenjie said, grabbing Jiang Chen’s hand excitedly.
Glancing at ng Yanran in bewildernt, Jiang Chen asked, "What is it you’re talking about?"
"It’s like this, I’ve always been avoiding Yan Ran because..." Zhang Wenjie began, his face filled with bitterness.
Through Zhang Wenjie’s story, Jiang Chen understood what had happened.
A year ago, Zhang Wenjie had saved a drowning girl, Lou Fengfeng, during his travels. Lou Fengfeng fell in love with him at first sight and insisted on offering herself in marriage.
But Zhang Wenjie was already betrothed, and he also had strong feelings for ng Yanran, so he rejected Lou Fengfeng.
Who would have thought that Lou Fengfeng was a martial artist who directly captured Zhang Wenjie and took him to her family’s ho?
The head of the Lou Family from S Province, a Martial Arts Family, Lou Wenkang, learned of this and made a deal with Zhang Wenjie: if within a year he could find a force intimidating enough to speak on his behalf and persuade the Lou Family, they wouldn’t make things difficult for him. If he failed to find such a force, he would have to marry Lou Fengfeng.
"Haha! This head of the Lou Family is quite understanding, giving you a year to find help?"
Jiang Chen couldn’t help but laugh. It was too amusing; there were people who forced beauties into their hos, but this was the first ti he had heard of forcing a man to marry!
"What are you talking about! He thought since I’m a secular person, I couldn’t possibly find anyone. He just wanted to give up hope by doing that!" Zhang Wenjie replied with a wry smile.
Pff!
ng Yanran also burst into laughter, now knowing the reason why Zhang Wenjie had been avoiding her.
Raising an eyebrow, Jiang Chen teased, "So, is this Lou Fengfeng beautiful?"
"What does it matter if she’s beautiful? I only like Yan Ran!" Zhang Wenjie stated with conviction.
ng Yanran felt a warmth in her heart and looked at Zhang Wenjie with affection in her eyes.
"Oh, you’re really showering with dog food," Jiang Chen rolled his eyes, then sobered up and asked quietly, "Tell about the power of the Lou Family."
