Chapter 6864
Chuangnanlai Group
Di Lang was not infected, so Xiao Chen had no reason or opportunity to approach him.
Even if Xiao Chen reveals his identity, Di Lang will probably only fear Xiao Chen's retaliation because of his betrayal of Jiang Meng.
Choose to stay further away.
That incident was like an unhealable scar, deeply etched in Di Lang's heart. He was afraid to face Xiao Chen, afraid that his crimes would be exposed, as if he feared a debt he could not repay.
"Anything else?" Xiao Chen's voice came again, cold and icy, without any emotion, as if the words just now had not brought him any pressure.
His eyes revealed a hint of confidence and determination, as if urging Liu Jianming to state all his demands as soon as possible.
Liu Jianming composed himself, trying to calm his chaotic thoughts. He knew that the news he was about to deliver would make the situation even more complicated and difficult.
He took a deep breath, as if slowly lifting a thousand-pound weight onto his shoulders, and then threw out a second, even heavier anvil: "Mr. Xiao, there is something even more troublesome."
Many of Xinmeng Group's fixed assets have now been seized by an organization called "Black Phoenix".
This Black Phoenix organization is like a ghost lurking in the darkness, mysterious and unpredictable.
The information I could find about it was pitifully scarce, like searching for a needle in a haystack.
I used every connection and channel I could think of, but I only managed to get some fragmented rumors that said the organization was ruthless, acted without restraint, and had a huge influence in the underground world of the ancient city.
To regain control of the branch company and take back control of everything in Xinmeng Group, we must uproot Hei Luan completely. Otherwise, even if we get back the shares, we will find it difficult to truly recover those fixed assets.
Black Phoenix?
Xiao Chen's brows suddenly furrowed, as if two sharp blades were clashing, creating a fierce aura.
A cold glint flashed in his eyes as he thought to himself: Is it the poisonous vine that grows in the shadows of this ancient city?
Beneath this seemingly prosperous ancient city lies a sinister force.
However, he was not afraid of this at all. In his long life, he had encountered countless hardships and powerful enemies. What was a mere Black Phoenix organization compared to this?
His gaze was firm as he asked only, "If I remove these two mountains—Di Lang and Hei Luan—within three days, can you make Nanlai Group disappear completely and restore the name of Xinmeng Group to this place?"
His voice was low and powerful, with undeniable authority.
Liu Jianming was completely stunned. He had originally prepared another tortuous and lengthy conservative strategy.
In his view, solving these problems requires planning step by step and proceeding slowly, which may take months or even years.
However, at this moment, Xiao Chen's unquestionable and direct approach shattered his carefully prepared plan.
He could hear his own heavy breathing through the receiver, as if he could hear the intense struggle and weighing of his thoughts.
After a long silence, he gritted his teeth, as if he had made a do-or-die decision, and a resolute promise burst forth from between his teeth: "If Mr. Xiao can really move these two mountains, I guarantee the mission will be completed in three days!"
"I, Liu Jianming, guarantee with my reputation and my life that if I fail to do so, I will leave myself to Mr. Xiao's disposal!"
"Okay," Xiao Chen replied succinctly and firmly, as if he was very satisfied with the promise.
The call abruptly ended, and Xiao Chen immediately dialed another number. Di Tianyan's familiar voice quickly came from the other end. Without any preamble, Xiao Chen directly demanded Di Tianyan's location and all clues about the Black Phoenix.
Di Tianyan seemed somewhat surprised by Xiao Chen's sudden request. He offered to do it himself several times, his voice both inquiring and protective. He was worried that Xiao Chen might encounter danger if he took action himself, since Di Lang and Hei Luan were not easy to deal with.
However, Xiao Chen refused them all decisively. He had his own plans and arrangements. He believed in his abilities and was determined to solve these problems himself and seek justice for his wife.
The business his wife had worked so hard to build was the culmination of her countless efforts and sweat; every inch of land and every building bore witness to her dreams and sacrifices.
Xiao Chen secretly vowed that he would take back this business with his own hands, just as he would protect the vow they had made together.
Although in his eyes, Di Lang and Hei Luan's gang were not worth his personal attention; they were nothing but clowns, jumping around on the business stage, Xiao Chen still wanted to do it himself.
He felt that only by personally solving these problems could his wife's hard work be truly protected, and only then could those who tried to take advantage of her know how foolish and ridiculous their actions were.
……
No. 18 Gucheng Road, this building that once shone brightly on the commercial map, was the former site of the proud western branch of Xinmeng Group.
Back then, this place was bustling with people and vehicles, a place that countless business elites aspired to. Every floor was full of vitality, and every office resounded with the clarion call of struggle.
However, five years ago, a meticulously planned "accident" swept in like a storm, completely changing the fate of this place.
That "accident" was like a ruthless demon, devouring the glory of Xinmeng Group and forcing this place to change its name.
Today, the building is entirely covered by a cold, hard glass curtain wall, reflecting a sharp, icy light under the sunlight, as if showing the world its indifference and arrogance, like a cold and arrogant medal in this city, piercing the hearts of everyone who has ever been associated with Xinmeng Group.
As night deepened, a giant black curtain slowly enveloped the entire city.
The streetlights were dim and yellow, as if they too were saddened by the changes to this building.
Just then, a tall figure appeared in the cold lights at the bottom of the building.
Xiao Chen walked in with steady and firm steps, each step seemingly stepping on a point in time, carrying an undeniable power.
He looked up, his gaze like a sharp, gleaming blade, sweeping across the four enormous metal characters of "Nanlai Group" hundreds of meters high, blindingly illuminated by the intense light.
Under the bright light, the four characters appeared particularly arrogant and dazzling, as if showing off their "victory" to Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen gave a silent, cold laugh, filled with disdain and mockery. He held a document firmly between his fingers, the edges of which shimmered faintly in the dim light. It was none other than the "Equity Transfer Agreement".
At this moment, he was wearing a carefully tailored cloth outfit.
The cloth garment appeared to be made of ordinary material, yet it possessed a unique texture, as if it contained boundless power.
The simple, flowing lines of his robe clung perfectly to his body, making him appear even taller and more aloof. (End of Chapter)
