"Long Zhengkun, if you want to die, don't drag us down with you. From now on, we are canceling our cooperation with Longteng Group."
He was met with a barrage of words.
Even before Long Zhengkun could respond, the other party had already hung up, afraid to say another word to him.
It felt like avoiding a plague.
Long Zhengkun was a bit stunned.
The other party had always regarded him as a brother, and they had been long-time partners. What had happened?
But this was far from over.
The phone rang again: "Boss Long, good luck. This time, no one can help you."
Long Zhengkun froze: "Mr. Wu, what do you mean?"
The other party was a big shot in the relevant department. Usually, Long Zhengkun had to plead with him, but now he was saying this?
The other party seemed unwilling to get too involved either, and said faintly, "I made this call just to tell you, henceforth, don't ever mention that you know me. That's it, goodbye."
The words were polite enough, but the underlying meaning was terrifying.
Long Zhengkun's mind went blank.
Before he could comprehend what was going on, the phone rang again.
He glanced at the caller ID, and his eyelids twitched rapidly.
This call was from a leading figure in the provincial business association. Long Zhengkun had been lucky to get his number, but they had never had much interaction.
Now, at this moment, the other party was calling him. Long Zhengkun was instantly flattered: "Chairman Feng, what brings you..."
"Long Zhengkun, you have been expelled from the association. Take care of yourself!"
Bang!
Just one sentence, and it felt like Long Zhengkun was thrown into an abyss.
Although Longteng Group was impressive in Yun City, it was just an average company in Jiangnan Province. To join the provincial business association, Long Zhengkun had exerted immense effort.
And now, they were calling to tell him he was expelled?
"What the hell is going on?"
The phone kept ringing, but Long Zhengkun had completely lost the will to listen.
His hands were trembling, and the continuous wave of fear made his entire body turn cold.
"Dad, we have arrived at the Chen Group. Great, I can't wait to see Chen Ziran and Ye Guichen kneel before me!" Long Zixiang eagerly followed Long Zhengkun to witness the humiliation of Chen Ziran and Ye Guichen.
However, Long Zhengkun seemed not to hear.
"Dad, what's wrong with you? The phone is ringing again." Long Zixiang, full of excitement, didn't notice Long Zhengkun's unusual state.
After a long while, Long Zhengkun finally came to his senses.
His face was pale as he looked at the Chen Group building, seemingly understanding what was going on.
"Quick, follow me!" Long Zhengkun stumbled out of the car and headed straight for the Chen Group building.
A long line of cars followed behind him, not only including hundreds of security personnel but also various Chen Family business partners.
Seeing Long Zhengkun get out of the car, they all followed suit.
The security guards at Chen Group were prepared, but they were all stunned by the sight of so many people.
Zhao Erdan took out his walkie-talkie and shouted to Ye Guichen, "Boss, what do we do? Long Zhengkun seems to be serious."
They were indeed good fighters, and if Ye Guichen gave the order, they wouldn't hesitate to face the hundreds of security guards from Longteng Group.
But fighting like this would be pointless.
Everyone in the meeting room stood up upon hearing the chatter from the walkie-talkie and rushed to the window to look down.
What they saw scared them out of their wits.
"Ye Guichen, look what you've done. What now?"
"Go downstairs and apologize to Boss Long, quickly!"
"Ye Guichen, this is all your fault. Stop dragging our Chen Group into the abyss."
Originally coerced by Ye Guichen, some of the senior executives were already scared.
But compared to Long Zhengkun's display, Ye Guichen seemed insignificant.
Chen Ziran was also surprised that Long Zhengkun dared to bring so many security guards, and her face turned pale with fear.
She tightly clutched Ye Guichen's sleeve: "What do we do? Long Zhengkun has come himself. What do we do?"
Ye Guichen smiled and said into the walkie-talkie: "Let them come up, don't stop them."
"What? Are you crazy?"
"Ye Guichen, what if things get out of control?"
"Ye Guichen, quickly have the Security Department stop Long Zhengkun!"
At this point, He Chenglong also came to his senses. Seeing Long Zhengkun in person, his fear of Ye Guichen instantly vanished.
"Ha ha, kid, you were so arrogant! Let's see you be arrogant now! You thought you could do whatever you wanted by controlling thirty security guards? Look at Boss Long, now that's what I call a big move!"
Ye Guichen seemed oblivious to everyone's words, gently patting Chen Ziran's hand: "Don't worry."
Chen Family.
The Elder Mrs. Chen also received the news.
Not only Lv Ping but many members of the Chen Family also came.
"Elder Mrs., at this time, you're still playing with birds!"
"Yeah, you should go and take a look. What if something happens to Chen Ziran and that kid Ye Guichen?"
"Even if we know Long Zhengkun is behind this, can't we just pretend we don't know? Why make provocative statements?"
"Elder Mrs., please say something."
Every one of them was as anxious as ants on a hot pan.
The Elder Mrs. Chen finally lifted her head: "With Ye Guichen here, what's there to fear?"
That sentence made everyone shake their heads in disbelief.
At this critical moment, she still mentioned that troublemaker.
If it weren't for Ye Guichen, things probably wouldn't have escalated to this point.
They all felt the Elder Mrs. Chen was confused and had secretly resolved to sever ties with Ye Guichen once the Chen Group collapsed, begging for Long Zhengkun's forgiveness, just to survive.
Chen Group.
With Ye Guichen's order, no one stopped Long Zhengkun.
But Long Zhengkun looked solemn.
He even forgot to tell the security guards and Chen Family business partners not to follow.
Although Long Zixiang had recovered, he still needed to sit in a wheelchair. Seeing Long Zhengkun eagerly storm into the building, he urged the person pushing him: "Hurry up, hurry up! I want to watch the show! The big show!"
The meeting room was on the twenty-first floor, with the door wide open.
Ye Guichen was sitting at the entrance, behind him, the top executives of Chen Group were all trembling.
Many of them were so nervous that their legs were weak, barely able to sit upright.
Within a minute, the elevator door opened.
Long Zhengkun stumbled out of the elevator and immediately saw Ye Guichen sitting nonchalantly at the entrance of the meeting room.
"Mr. Ye, I was wrong."
With a thud, he kneeled on the floor, still over ten meters away from Ye Guichen, "Please forgive me!"
