“The Shengshi Chamber of Commerce is gone, and the Huang family has a lot of territory that no one is taking over. We can’t let Gu Manyun eat all the meat, can we?” Han Wenhong’s facial muscles twitched slightly. “So my new boss wants to get a share of the pie.”
“I can’t take over the Shengshi Chamber of Commerce’s territory by myself. There are still many places that no one has taken over. If Cheng Qiang wants them, then let him just take them. As for how much he takes, that’s up to him,” Gu Manyun said.
"Hehe, what our boss means is that you have to give up the Phoenix Terrace area in the North District." Han Wenhong made an outrageous demand.
"Phoenix TV?" Gu Manyun couldn't help but laugh: "Your boss really dares to ask for such a high price."
The area around Phoenix Terrace is the core area of the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce and is considered the most prosperous place in Jinling.
There are six hotels and six clubs in that area.
Gu Manyun just took over this place, and the Cheng family is already trying to steal her food?
"Our boss said that after these territories are ceded, I will manage them." Han Wenhong chuckled and said, "President Yun, we've known each other for a while, I don't want to put you in a difficult position, and you shouldn't put me in a difficult position either."
"If you give up this space, we can all live in peace. If you don't..."
At this point, Han Wenhong paused, smiling without saying a word; his meaning was already quite clear.
"What will happen if I don't allow it?" Gu Manyun glanced at him.
"There might be bloodshed here tonight." Han Wenhong's facial muscles twitched again, and his face looked fierce and ferocious under the light.
Gu Manyun reached into the drawer, her hand already touching a gun.
Han Wenhong knew what she was going to do, and with a wave of his hand, dozens of thugs outside the door swarmed around her.
"President Yun, we've worked together for a while, and I've fought alongside you to build this empire. Don't let things get out of hand. That wouldn't be good for anyone, understand?" Han Wenhong said with a sneer.
“Yes, we’ve all worked together.” Gu Manyun glanced coldly at the group of thugs and said through gritted teeth, “Did it really have to come to this?”
They were all carrying weapons; this group was determined to fight Han Wenhong.
She felt a pang of heartache; these brothers had fought alongside her all the way, and now they were turning against each other.
"Hahaha, Mr. Yun, times have changed." Han Wenhong laughed heartily, "People don't want to follow you anymore, can't you see that?"
"If I were you, I would nod in agreement right now, so that we, who used to call each other brothers, would turn against each other with knives."
"What can her agreement change? Cheng Jia's ambitions extend beyond Phoenix Terrace; he wants to conquer the entire Hexi region." Just then, Ye Xingchen spoke slowly.
He put down his cup and said with some regret, "I put in too much tea, and the tea is a bit bitter. It's a pity to waste such good Mao Feng tea."
"I know you, surnamed Ye." Han Wenhong looked coldly at Ye Xingchen: "I also know you can fight, and your relationship with Gu Manyun is not ordinary."
"But today's matter is an internal affair of our Fengwu Chamber of Commerce. If I were you, I wouldn't come here to meddle."
"Since you know me, then you should know who destroyed the Shengshi Chamber of Commerce, right?" Ye Xingchen said leisurely, "I destroyed the Shengshi Chamber of Commerce by myself and let your CEO Yun manage it on behalf of me."
"How come in your eyes the territory left behind by the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce has become a place where anyone can come and get a piece of the pie?"
"Heh, kid, can you stop bragging for once?" Han Wenhong almost laughed.
He only knew that the destruction of the Shengshi Chamber of Commerce was related to Ye Xingchen, but he did not believe that Ye Xingchen destroyed the Shengshi Chamber of Commerce by himself.
After all, this matter is too unbelievable. No matter how strong Ye Xingchen is, how could he possibly destroy a business guild by himself?
Moreover, the Huang family not only has the support of the Liang family, but also several masters from the Xu family, a martial arts family. Can this kid at least write a draft before he starts bragging?
"You don't believe me?" Ye Xingchen turned to look at him.
"Do you think I'm an idiot?" Han Wenhong grinned.
"People die for wealth, birds die for food; the ancients were right." Ye Xingchen sighed. "If you were even slightly smarter, if you thought things through a little, you wouldn't be foolish enough to rush over here and become cannon fodder."
"What do you mean?" Han Wenhong retorted.
He has a reckless streak; he's a ruthless fighter when charging into battle, but he's not exactly a genius.
He didn't quite understand what Ye Xingchen was saying, but he vaguely felt that the other person was mocking him.
"Then let me ask you, if Cheng Qiang wants a share of the pie, why doesn't he come forward himself?" Ye Xingchen asked.
"He said that Phoenix TV will be under my management from now on, so of course I'll be the one to ask for it." Han Wenhong said in a matter-of-fact manner.
"Idiot." Ye Xingchen cursed.
"Who are you calling an idiot? Believe me or not, I'll chop you up right now!" Han Wenhong pulled out a large knife with his backhand.
“Phoenix Terrace used to be the core area of the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce. The money flow here every night is over 100 million. Such a big piece of meat, why don’t they keep it in their own hands and instead hand it over to a brute like you?” Ye Xingchen looked at Han Wenhong with the eyes of someone who pitys an idiot: “Are they out of their minds?”
"Go to hell! You dare call me a brute? I'll kill you right now!" Han Wenhong cursed, drawing his knife and charging forward.
However, the next second, with a snap, the broadsword in his hand broke in two.
Ye Xingchen sat there without moving an inch, and no one saw him make a move. Han Wenhong's knife broke inexplicably.
"A person like you is neither loyal nor righteous, nor wise nor resourceful," Ye Xingchen said calmly. "Being used as a pawn and willingly becoming someone else's cannon fodder, you won't even know how you died."
"Damn it, what are you pretending to be, expert? I'll kill you in a minute." Han Wenhong snatched a machete from his subordinate and roared as he charged at Ye Xingchen.
"Disloyal and reckless, he deserves to be executed." Ye Xingchen glanced coldly at Han Wenhong, his right hand barely raised as he pointed lightly.
With a whoosh, a wisp of white smoke shot out from his fingertips, solidified in mid-air, and hurtled away with a whooshing sound.
With a single finger, it struck right between the eyebrows.
*Thud...* Han Wenhong's body stiffened violently, then he stumbled backward and flew backward.
Boom... His body crashed through the makeshift foam board partition of the office, then slammed heavily onto a pile of goods.
With a thud, his body bounced back, then leaned backward and fell to the ground.
"Brother Hong, Brother Hong, how are you?"
"Quickly call a doctor..."
The thugs he brought were now panicking. They scattered and fled in a flurry. After a long while, someone cautiously approached Han Wenhong to check on his condition.
However, Han Wenhong fell to the ground, his eyes wide open, his expression filled with horror.
A bloody hole appeared directly in front of his forehead, and red and white substances were flowing all over the ground.
