Wang Xiao's expression was vividly colorful.

He originally thought Ye Guichen excelled only in medicine; now he realized Ye Guichen was practically an untapped treasure.

The more he observed, the more mysterious it seemed.

Suddenly, Wang Xiao felt he had wasted nearly a century of his life.

"Mr. Ye, this time, going to see Wang Xiong is much easier with you." After a long silence, Wang Xiao spoke again, with a trace of respect in his tone.

After all, to tame the Red Sparrow wasn't something an ordinary person could accomplish.

Having this Red Sparrow was definitely a lethal weapon for assassination.

Wang Chaoyang quickly clasped his hands together: "Yes, yes, Mr. Ye, much appreciated."

Ye Guichen waved his hand: "Wang Ying's disappearance is also related to me. It is my duty, and I should have met Wang Xiong long before."

Being delayed for such a long time, Ye Guichen indeed had wanted to meet Wang Xiong earlier.

Since coming down the mountain, Azure Dragon Commerce seemed to be haunting him like a specter.

If this continued, it would be endless.

Taking advantage of the matter with Wang Ying, Ye Guichen also thought it was a good occasion to have a proper conversation with Wang Xiong.

On the other side, Azure Dragon Commerce.

The ninety-eighth floor.

The enormous conference room of nearly a thousand square meters was already filled with people.

Everyone sitting here was like a key figure in Azure Dragon Commerce.

Many had hurriedly come from out of town.

Besides the deceased secretaries of An Cangsheng, all the remaining major secretaries of Azure Dragon Commerce had arrived, along with several of Wang Xiong's sons and a few vice presidents.

This was indeed a grand gathering.

Below, people whispered to each other.

"What's going on? Why did the Crown Prince suddenly summon us?"

"How would I know? I got a call in the middle of the night. I was out of town, and to make it to this morning's meeting, I didn't sleep and came back overnight."

"Is today's matter the Crown Prince's idea or the Chairman's idea?"

"Don't ask me. Look at those people, aren't they the Chairman's children?"

At the top of the huge round table sat five people, both men and women, ranging in age from their twenties to fifties.

One of them had an earring, looking somewhat rebellious, with his legs crossed, seeming uninterested.

His name was Wang Tianxing, Wang Xiong's youngest son, barely twenty years old.

Wang Tianxing attended Azure Dragon Commerce's senior meeting for the first time but clearly had no interest in it.

Brought up in a life of luxury, he had no concept of money.

He had initially planned to go swimming with some girls today but was suddenly called, making him somewhat displeased.

Seeing many people whispering and with Wang Tianqiong still absent, Wang Tianxing couldn't help but lean towards a man next to him, asking softly: "Second brother, what's the big idea? Is it possible that the old man will announce his abdication today?"

The man next to him was in his forties, named Wang Tianlong, a notable figure in Azure Dragon Commerce who usually showed reverence to Wang Tianqiong but privately didn't believe in him.

Especially when he heard others refer to Wang Tianqiong as Crown Prince, Wang Tianlong felt extremely annoyed.

In his view, aside from being older, Wang Tianqiong was far inferior to him in both business acumen and martial arts talent.

If someone truly had to take charge of Azure Dragon Commerce, he would be more suitable than Wang Tianqiong.

However, Wang Xiong had chosen Wang Tianqiong, making Wang Tianlong dare to show anger but not speak out.

Listening to Wang Tianxing now, Wang Tianlong felt irritable and gave Wang Tianxing a glare: "It's none of your business; you only know how to have fun. Even if the old man abdicates, as long as you don't lose your allowance, it's all good."

"Hehe, second brother, that's true." Wang Tianxing smiled sheepishly, not taking Wang Tianlong's attitude to heart, and glanced around sneakily, then whispered: "But, second brother, let me tell you, big brother is too pretentious, always posing as Crown Prince and acting high and mighty. Who knows if he becomes chairman, will he cut my funds? If I had a choice, I would prefer you, second brother, to be the chairman."

"Tianxing, stop talking nonsense. This is the old man's decision. If he hears, he'll skin you alive!" Wang Tianlong was startled, although a deep greed flashed in his eyes, he quickly concealed it.

Wang Xiong was like an emperor in Azure Dragon Commerce; if he heard this, it might not end well for Wang Tianlong.

Although he harbored such thoughts, he couldn't speak them out. If someone heard, it might be used against him.

Wang Tianxing, however, couldn't care less: "Second brother, you're too kind. Look at today's spectacle; this is summoning all the senior members of Azure Dragon Commerce. If today's motive is truly to support big brother's rise, you should strive a bit. Otherwise, if big brother ascends, there won't be any more opportunities."

"Strive?" Wang Tianlong sneered: "You make it sound easy."

He was somewhat uneasy in his tone.

Although he didn't know Wang Tianqiong's purpose for calling them today, the situation looked like it was indeed about the chairman's position.

Wang Tianxing was right; if Wang Xiong publicly announced Wang Tianqiong as chairman, he would be suppressed and find it hard to turn things around.

Azure Dragon Commerce had many factions, with significant support for Wang Tianlong, but today's event was so sudden, there was no time to devise countermeasures.

Recently, quite a few events seemed to have occurred, Wang Tianlong wasn't directly involved but vaguely heard some rumors.

The most intense rumor before was the death of Chief Secretary An Cangsheng.

Not seeing An Cangsheng today made Wang Tianlong feel this rumor was becoming real.

An Cangsheng was the Chief Secretary of Azure Dragon Commerce, second only to one person and above millions. Who dared to touch him?

Ideas swirled in his mind, Wang Tianlong began to search the crowd for familiar faces.

Soon, eye contact occurred, as if inquiring, then discussing strategies.

At nine o'clock sharp, the conference room door finally opened.

Wang Tianqiong entered with Yu Nong.

The conference room instantly quieted down.

Everyone stood up, bowed towards Wang Tianqiong, and shouted: "Crown Prince!"

Wang Tianqiong enjoyed this moment, signaled for everyone to sit, then took the main seat and said aloud: "Everyone must be wondering why I called you suddenly; many probably have guessed. Father is aged and obsessed with martial arts. Yesterday, he told me he had a new insight into martial arts and wanted to leave Jinling to find a place to reflect. So, he's handing Azure Dragon Commerce to me to manage."

Boom!

Wang Tianqiong's words caused an uproar in the room.

Many exchanged glances, quickly understood the implication.

"The old chairman isn't in Jinling?"

"He's really handing Azure Dragon Commerce to Crown Prince?"

"How can it be so sudden? Isn't there something fishy about this?"

Everyone here was shrewd and quickly sensed something off.

If Wang Xiong truly intended to leave, he would at least personally inform some close individuals and announce Wang Tianqiong inheriting Azure Dragon Commerce.

At the very least, leave a video behind.

But now, without a sound, only through Wang Tianqiong's word?

It felt odd no matter how they thought about it.
