"Well……"
Hong Chen immediately froze, his body trembling slightly.
He chickened out; his courage vanished instantly.
He is usually very arrogant and domineering, relying on the power of the Hong family to act recklessly.
However, no matter how powerful the Hong family is, there are always forces more powerful than the Hong family.
No matter how ruthless he is, there are always people who are even more ruthless than him.
Just a moment ago, he didn't take Long Aotian seriously.
In that instant, he was so timid that he didn't dare to even breathe.
Everyone is afraid of death.
Even though Hong Chen was arrogant and domineering, he couldn't be arrogant when faced with a hot weapon that could blow his head off at any moment.
Despite his large numbers, the dozens of patrolmen were equipped with sophisticated firearms, which could be easily countered by firing simultaneously.
His two hundred-plus men would be wiped out in less than a minute.
Therefore, even if he had a thousand times the courage, he wouldn't dare to order an action at this point.
Looking at Hong Chen's pathetic appearance, Long Aotian sneered.
Why are you suddenly acting like a coward like a dog?
"Didn't you just say you'd fight anyone who dared to make a move?"
"I'm going to hurt you now, so go ahead and try to fight me!"
"Well……"
Hong Chen swallowed hard and said hesitantly.
"Chief Long, I was just joking, don't take it seriously. Move the gun away, don't let it go off accidentally!"
"Hehe! Are you kidding?"
Long Aotian chuckled and slapped him on the head: "Kid, you're still too green. In Jiangnan, my territory, you're not qualified to act tough with me!"
He paused for a moment, then said in a sinister tone, "Do you still want to cause trouble?"
"Oh! No... I'm not doing this anymore!"
Hong Chen said in a trembling voice.
"Heh heh, I knew you wouldn't dare!"
Long Aotian tapped him on the head with the butt of his gun: "Aren't you going to order your men to disperse?"
"well!"
Hong Chen quickly looked up and waved to the men in black: "That's enough, you can all go back!"
The two hundred or so men in black had long been terrified by the firearms of the dozens of patrolling officers.
Upon hearing their master tell them to stop, they all breathed a sigh of relief and scattered in all directions.
After his men left, Hong Chen looked at Long Aotian.
"Can I leave now?"
"Um?"
Long Aotian glared at him: "You're the one who instigated trouble, and you're the one directly involved. Do you think you can just let us go so easily?"
Hong Chen's heart sank immediately, and a look of fear crossed his face.
"Then... how else do we use it?"
"I haven't used it much. I'll take you back and let you sit here for a few days!"
Long Aotian said coldly, "You've caused such a big mess. If I don't punish you, how can I explain it to the others?"
After saying that, he waved for two patrolmen to come over and ordered them to take Hong Chen away, and then ordered the others to return.
Then he walked towards the office building.
Liu Qingyao watched the surveillance footage in her office the whole time, and she saw the whole process of Long Aotian subduing Hong Chen.
Seeing that Hong Chen had been arrested, she was finally completely relieved.
She secretly rejoiced that she had gotten close to Long Aotian.
The Hong family's power was easily dismantled by Long Aotian.
Liu Qingyao's ambitions swelled again.
With Long Aotian as a powerful backer, she felt that the time had come to take control of the Jiangnan business world.
Next, it will be time to officially deal with Ye Tianyu and Fang Xueqing.
Ye Tianyu, her ex, didn't love him when they first got together. After they broke up, she experienced all sorts of unpleasant things and wanted to get back together with him, but he rejected her.
From that time on, it became a love-hate relationship.
Now, she has been reborn, her status and position have risen dramatically, and she no longer looks down on anyone.
Therefore, I feel no love for Ye Tianyu now, only hatred.
She resented Ye Tianyu for refusing to get back together with her when she was at her lowest point and facing the most difficult time.
She also hated Fang Xueqing because it was Fang Xueqing who canceled their cooperation when she fell into crisis.
At the same time, she hated Ye Tianyu and Fang Xueqing being together even more.
Ye Tianyu was the one she abandoned, but Fang Xueqing, who was of higher status than her at the time, chose Ye Tianyu, which made her feel like she was being slapped in the face.
Especially later, her attempts to seek revenge all backfired at the hands of Ye Tianyu and Fang Xueqing, which deepened the hatred in her heart.
She has completely defeated the Hong family and taken control of Jiang Ruonan's Hongyuan Group.
Now she is the queen of Jiangnan, and she wants to have complete control over everything.
If she succeeds in taking revenge on Ye Tianyu and Fang Xueqing, no one in the entire Jiangnan region, or even the entire Chinese business world, will be able to rival her.
"Da da da!"
Just as he was feeling smug, footsteps sounded outside, and Long Aotian walked in.
"Oh, darling, thank you so much for arriving in time today and saving me from danger!"
Liu Qingyao, with a charming expression, threw herself into Long Aotian's arms and acted coquettishly.
Long Aotian pressed her shoulders, lifted her face, and said.
"Be more discreet in the future. Don't make a big deal out of things!"
"You can deal with Hong Guoliang yesterday, but you can't take pictures and post them online."
"When things get too big, it's sometimes hard for me to get things done, you know?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Qingyao immediately pouted.
"Is it my fault?!"
"Sigh! I'm doing this for your own good. Don't throw tantrums all the time."
Long Aotian frowned: "And Lin Xueyan, she was tortured to the point of madness by several security guards yesterday. She later went to the Inspectorate to see me and threatened that if I didn't give her an explanation, she would take action herself and take you down with her."
"Now that all her people have disappeared, you'd better be careful from now on; she might appear in front of you at any time!"
Liu Qingyao listened without taking it seriously.
"Lin Xueyan is already a withered flower, and the Hong family's power has also collapsed. She has no strength left, so I'm not afraid of her."
"If she encounters me, it would be best if she obediently bows her head and leaves; otherwise, she will suffer even more humiliation!"
“You’re too confident,” Long Aotian shook his head and said, “That’s your weakness!”
"The most terrifying thing is when a person no longer has any attachment to anything in the world."
"Lin Xueyan is that kind of person. I was right to warn you to be careful!"
"Okay, okay, I know, I'll be more careful next time!"
Liu Qingyao grew impatient: "Let's not talk about this anymore. Next, I want to join forces with the four major families to deal with Ye Tianyu and Fang Xueqing. You should help me think of some ways!"
"Um?"
Long Aotian raised an eyebrow: "Liu Qingyao, stop causing me trouble!"
"Let me tell you, the day I had dinner with the four major families and promised to back them up, it was just talk, don't take it seriously."
"I will not get involved in any of the four major families' feuds with anyone else!"
Liu Qingyao blinked.
"Yes, I knew what you meant all along."
"Of course, my alliance with the four major families is merely a pawn to be used!"
"When I say 'help,' I mean you help me, not them, understand?"
"That's more like it!"
Long Aotian pinched her cheek and then said, "However, Ye Tianyu and Fang Xueqing are not easy to deal with."
"Especially Fang Xueqing, she has a great influence in Jiangnan."
"So when you deal with them, don't go too far; know when to stop!"
"After all, I also have to avoid public opinion about me. Being the Director of the Inspectorate is not an easy job!"
