Mountain Cannon, though panicked, was not chaotic.

Since he now realized the elder before him was stronger, he immediately decided to fight to the death.

Mountain Cannon stuffed the contract into the red-haired teenager's hand, quickly saying, "We'll split up and run. If you escape, give this contract to Wang Yan."

The red-haired teenager was suddenly handed the contract but remained standing, hesitant to leave, saying something, only to be forcefully pushed by Mountain Cannon, launching him dozens of meters away.

Using this momentum, the red-haired teenager kept running, shouting as he ran into the distance, "Mountain Cannon boss, don't worry, I absolutely won't..."

Before he could finish speaking, it was as if he slammed into a wall, and with a "bang," he fell to the ground, unconscious.

At this point, above the red-haired teenager's head, the elder was still floating in mid-air.

Seeing this, Mountain Cannon's face changed dramatically, exclaiming, "Demon Emperor Powerhouse!"

The elder, standing mid-air, glanced down at Mountain Cannon with interest, saying, "So you're one of Wang Yan's people. Fine, I won't kill you now. I'll use you as bait to lure that Wang Yan."

As he said this, the elder flew towards Mountain Cannon.

At dawn, Toyota Choji had already returned to the yacht.

Looking at the stack of contracts before him, Toyota Choji laughed heartily, "Hahaha, this was just too easy. In just one night, I've acquired hundreds of businesses. I reckon Wanghai City will soon bear the Toyota name."

Beside him, Toyota Shouzou quickly bowed and said, "Indeed, Grandpa's intervention will have the whole of Wanghai City kneeling before us."

Toyota Choji nodded proudly and asked, "Tell me, what remains in Wanghai City for us to acquire?"

Toyota Shouzou promptly replied, "All the small and medium businesses in Wanghai City have been acquired by us. Now, only five major groups remain."

"Which five groups?"

"These five groups are the Beiming Group, Ouyang Group, Xiahou Group, Shangguan Group, and Peak Group. These five groups now control over half of Wanghai City. The hundreds of businesses we acquired yesterday are just a small part of it."

Upon hearing this, Toyota Choji smiled slightly and said, "To me, big groups and small enterprises are all the same. Controlling hundreds of small businesses in one night means these five groups will take no time either."

Toyota Shouzou laughed, "Grandpa, then how should we deal with the two people we captured last night?"

Toyota Choji said, "Keep them on the ship for now; I'll have use for them later."

...

The next day.

As the sun rose, Wanghai City returned to its normal bustling state.

Except for the quiet change of ownership of hundreds of businesses, everything that happened last night didn't attract anyone's attention at all.

Even though these hundreds of businesses had new owners, thanks to the original owners' transfer contracts, it didn't cause any turmoil either.

Unbeknownst to everyone, all these hundreds of industries had transferred to the Toyota Group.

Inside Peak Group.

The people likewise didn't notice any unusual changes happening in Wanghai City.

That morning, Sir held the meeting as usual, with Qin Tian, Li, and Fang all arriving at Sir's office, but Mountain Cannon was missing.

Looking at the empty chair, Sir smiled, "Mountain Cannon was working late last night. He probably hasn't woken up yet. Let's wait for him a bit longer."

Everyone had no objections, chatting and laughing while waiting for Mountain Cannon.

However, after waiting for about half an hour, Mountain Cannon still hadn't arrived. Qin Tian called Mountain Cannon, only to find his phone unreachable.

At this point, everyone became a bit puzzled. Qin Tian quickly sent people to Mountain Cannon's home to search, only to have them report back that Mountain Cannon wasn't home either, and he hadn't returned home last night.

Now everyone sensed something unusual.

Sir immediately dispatched his men to search for Mountain Cannon, and Qin Tian also got in touch with Ma Jun for assistance.

At this moment, Ma Jun was following Wang Yan's instructions, managing the Grey Wolf Alliance and training Tang Jingyi, Lin Hai, Yak, and others to activate Demon Pattern.

Upon hearing about Mountain Cannon's disappearance, Ma Jun immediately organized the Grey Wolf Alliance to search everywhere.

They searched day and night, practically turning Wanghai City upside down but still couldn't locate Mountain Cannon.

Now, everyone knew for certain that something significant had happened.

Qin Tian further realized that with Mountain Cannon's current skill level, making him vanish quietly couldn't be done by ordinary people, so Mountain Cannon's disappearance was indeed no trivial matter.

With no other choice, they decided to inform Wang Yan of the situation.

But just as they were about to find Wang Yan, they realized not only was Mountain Cannon missing, but Wang Yan couldn't be found either. They checked all the places Wang Yan could go and found no trace of him.

While Peak Group desperately searched for Wang Yan and Mountain Cannon, a major event also occurred at Xiahou Group, one of the five major groups.

That night, Xiahou Xin returned home from the group as usual.

A day's work had left Xiahou Xin quite exhausted. He wanted to train Xiahou Que to take over Xiahou Group from him sooner.

However, unexpectedly, Xiahou Que was becoming increasingly unpromising, not showing his face at all and even sounding somewhat effeminate during conversations, increasingly like a woman.

Feeling irritated, Xiahou Xin immediately returned to his bedroom upon arriving home.

But just as he entered his bedroom, he discovered a white-haired elder sitting inside.

Xiahou Xin was alarmed, realizing the situation was dire, and quickly turned to exit the room and call for help.

Yet as Xiahou Xin turned, he found a young man standing in the doorway, blocking the exit, then shoving Xiahou Xin forcefully.

Xiahou Xin was pushed into the room, falling onto the floor, and angrily shouted, "Who are you people? Daring to trespass in a private residence."

The elder slowly stood up, smiled faintly, and said, "Don't be angry. We've come today to do some business with you."

After speaking, the elder gestured, and the young man at the door immediately took two steps forward, placing a contract in front of Xiahou Xin.

...

Meanwhile, Qin Tian, Ma Jun, Hu Wei, and everyone had searched almost all of Wanghai City and still hadn't found Wang Yan.

The group gathered, displaying panicked expressions on their faces, with Qin Tian and Ma Jun particularly helpless.

While they were looking at each other, Qin Tian suddenly slapped his thigh and said, "I just remembered, there are still two places we haven't checked; the boss might be there."

Ma Jun quickly asked, "Where?"

Qin Tian replied, "Beiming and Ouyang families."

Ma Jun also slapped his palm, saying, "That's right. Let's head to Beiming Family first and ask Xue'er if she knows where the boss is."

The three agreed and promptly set off for Beiming Family, unaware that Wang Yan was lying in Beiming Xue's bedroom this whole time.
