After hanging up the phone, Feng Cang collapsed onto the ground, not daring to take a breath.
He had thought that by clinging to the powerful Gao Family, he would be able to do as he pleased in the modest Lingjin City. Who could have predicted... Perhaps this was a classic case of the wicked bringing about their own ruin?
Chen Yang leisurely swirled the wine in his glass with one hand while tapping lightly on the table with the other.
The vast hall fell into a deathly silence.
Feng Cang's eyes darted around. Mustering his courage, he picked up a glass of wine, approached Chen Yang, and said with a fawning bow, "My lord, this humble one toasts you."
"Cheers," Chen Yang smiled, clinking his glass against Feng Cang's.
Feng Cang was left speechless.
The man seed to be in a good mood, but the more relaxed he appeared, the more uneasy Feng Cang felt. He simply couldn't fathom how this resolute and decisive Lord War God would deal with them. After all, they hadn't just targeted the Qin Corporation; they had also ddled with that orphanage.
They couldn't see a way out, nor could they simply leave. This dilemma was a profound ntal tornt. Each of them was a top-tier figure accustod to power, with a mindset and experience far beyond that of any ordinary person.
Yet, the Commander before them had not only broadened their horizons but also shown them a completely different style of operating.
What defines a true power player? What does it an to have others in the palm of your hand?
For a mont, everyone covertly wiped away beads of cold sweat as their hearts pounded on the verge of bursting.
This aura is terrifying!
Just by sitting there, without any overt display of aggression, he was already suffocating them.
CREAK.
Nearly twenty minutes later, a young figure, accompanied by two elders, pushed the door open and walked in.
The others all looked up.
Chen Yang acted as if he hadn't noticed them, seemingly lost in the world of his wine.
"M-my lord."
The newcor was, of course, Gao Fan. He walked directly up to Chen Yang and dropped to his knees. "I had too much to drink earlier and spouted so nonsense. I never ant to offend. Please forgive , my lord."
When his gaze landed on Chen Yang, his eyes widened in shock. How can it be him?
"We et again," Chen Yang said with a gentle smile.
I'm so confused... Didn't they say the War God of the State was Xue Dingshan? But this...
"Surprised?" Chen Yang drained his glass and grinned. "I'm surprised, too."
Gao Fan was at a loss for words.
Could this be an impostor? The War God of the State is such a towering figure. How could he be soone even younger than ?
"I hear you boasted that you would take the Qin Corporation with a single word? And that even if the Zhennan Prince hadn't been dismissed, he would have had to hand over the Qin Corporation with both hands?"
Gao Fan froze. For a mont, he felt as if he'd been struck by lightning. His lips quivered, and his body was instantly drenched in a cold sweat.
So the newly appointed War God of the State is the forr Zhennan Prince?! If this news were to spread to Cangyun City...
"Did you say that?" Chen Yang asked with interest.
"Yes, it was ," Gao Fan admitted in terror.
BANG.
Chen Yang placed his wine glass on the table and ordered Yang Hu, "Kill a batch."
"You got it!" Yang Hu drew his paratrooper knife, a grin pulling at the corner of his mouth as he stepped forward.
Everyone stared in disbelief.
SLASH!
First Feng Cang and Feng Jiancheng fell, followed by the other key mbers.
Watching them collapse one after another, blood staining the floor, Gao Fan shivered uncontrollably, his eyes nearly bulging from their sockets.
As the young master of the Gao family, when had he ever witnessed such a scene? This... this... you wouldn't even slaughter dogs like this!
Chen Yang stood up and tugged at his cuffs. "I happen to have so ti today. How about you co with ?"
Before Gao Fan could respond, Yang Hu, his paratrooper knife dripping with blood, walked over and clapped him on the shoulder.
A tremor shot through Gao Fan's mind. As his peripheral vision caught sight of the corpses on the floor, the hair on his head stood on end.
Then, he simply collapsed to the ground.
"You look down on the Zhennan Prince, and this is all you are?" Yang Hu grabbed his collar and dragged him out of the hall like a dead dog.
「Outside the building, in full public view.」
Gao Fan was lifted by Yang Hu with one hand and tossed into the back of a van.
"Fuck, who is that guy?"
"This is Chunfeng Pavilion's headquarters. The conflict must be over, right?"
As the van drove away, the news swept across Lingjin City like a tornado. For a ti, everyone was waiting for the other shoe to drop.
The van headed south, eventually stopping in front of the Qin Corporation building.
Gao Fan was thrown to the ground by Yang Hu. He winced in pain but dared not make a sound, remaining on his knees, trembling.
This sudden scene imdiately attracted the attention of the Qin Corporation employees and passing pedestrians.
CLICK.
Chen Yang lit a cigarette, looked up at the Qin Corporation building, and said indifferently, "Ever since my father-in-law passed away, this entire enormous corporation has rested solely on my wife's shoulders."
"A lone woman carrying such a company... I wonder if Young Master Gao can comprehend the hardship involved? To put it bluntly, my wife has poured her sweat and tears into this company. It is her everything."
"But you people..." Chen Yang suddenly looked down, his eyes narrowing as a tangible, murderous chill radiated from him. "You constantly plot to swallow the Qin Corporation whole. Do you really think I, Chen, am a pushover?"
"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!" Gao Fan slamd his forehead on the ground, his voice trembling. "I truly didn't know it was you, my lord! Otherwise, you could give a hundred tis the courage, and I still wouldn't dare!"
"My lord, please be rciful and spare my life."
"There's a price to pay for your actions, isn't there?" Chen Yang asked.
Gao Fan wanted to say more, but Chen Yang simply waved a hand, signaling to Yang Hu. "Kill him."
Gao Fan's face drained of all color.
"No, don't!" he scread.
SLASH!
The knife rose and fell in one swift motion.
"Did... did he just kill him?"
"I rember him! The one who was just executed... he's Gao Fan, the young master of the Gao family from Cangyun City!"
"Damn! That's insane!"
The onlookers, though terrified, were abuzz with discussion. Upon learning Gao Fan's identity, every last one of them was dumbfounded.
They had all assud that with the young master of the Gao family present, the position of those foreign investors was unshakeable. And yet... he was publicly executed right at the gates of the Qin Corporation, atoning for his sins with his death.
Almost everyone sucked in a breath of cold air.
That man... just how powerful is he?
Then, a wave of exhilarated vindication washed over them.
Even the young master of Cangyun City's Gao family was executed on the spot.
In the future, anyone thinking of targeting Lingjin City would first have to carefully assess their own power. If they weren't stronger than the Gao family of Cangyun City, they had better take a detour. In fact, wasn't this also a way of establishing the Qin Corporation's might?
