Elder Qing's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly closed his mouth, looking up apologetically at Supreme Long Huang.

Everyone, such as Zi Shu, was taken aback for a moment and turned their heads to look at Supreme Long Huang.

"You all don't need to know this. What you need to know is that everything Young Jiang has done is for Flame Dragon!" Supreme Long Huang spoke with a heavy voice.

"Nobody needs to question this. I deeply appreciate what Young Jiang has done. I haven't told everyone not because I don't trust you, but to prevent problems before they arise. From now on, let's not mention this matter again!" Dragon Saint spoke softly.

The crowd was stunned for a moment, then nodded in agreement one after another. Since Dragon Saint had spoken, no one would question it anymore.

"Long Chen, you just said that Young Jiang's company's capital chain is about to break?" Elder Long turned his head to Elder Qing.

With a sigh, Elder Qing replied, "On the way here, I had someone look into Yi Chen. Yi Chen's stocks are now under several waves of attacks; they're about to collapse! Mr. Jiang... has never mentioned these things to us. He's been shouldering all the difficulties by himself. He has only turned to Song Wanqiu for help because there was truly no other way!"

"Young Jiang's heart is set on Flame Dragon. We can't let him down!"

Elder Long spoke solemnly, then turned to Ming Que, "Transfer a hundred trillion in funds to Yichen Company's account, and from now on, pay attention to Young Jiang's three companies. If anyone maliciously attacks them, provide full assistance. The things Young Jiang has done... Flame Dragon Group getting involved might make matters worse, but we can help him in other ways. He doesn't seek repayment, but we can't just pretend not to know!"

"Yes!"

Ming Que responded respectfully and took out his phone to start arranging the transfer of funds.

Ding Ling Ling!

The sound of a phone ringing filled the air.

Everyone turned their heads to look at Elder Qing.

Elder Qing took out his phone and, with a flash of surprise in his eyes, answered the call in confusion, "Hello, Shen Xiangtian?"

"Elder Qing, we've just obtained the handwritten Battle Array Cultivation Technique from the head instructor. He has arranged that, once you have taken care of things on your side, give us a call and we will head straight to Jincheng."

"What? Young Jiang asked you to return to Long Ya, not because he was angry, but because he wanted you to go back and get the original version of the Battle Array Cultivation Technique?" Elder Qing exclaimed in surprise.

Everyone in the conference room looked at Elder Qing with astonishment.

"Elder Qing, no matter how angry the head instructor is, he wouldn't let it affect our work. To be honest, if it wasn't for the head instructor's consolation, the brothers... wouldn't want to stay at Flame Dragon Group anymore!" Shen Xiangtian's voice, laden with complex emotions, came from the earpiece.

A look of relief appeared in Elder Qing's eyes as he said gravely, "We'll remember Young Jiang's kindness!"

After hanging up, Elder Qing looked around at everyone with a complex expression, "Young Jiang did not intend to use the Battle Array as a bargaining chip because of this incident. He... he arranged for people from Long Ya to go back, to get the original version of the Battle Array Cultivation Technique, to show his innocence!"

Once again, the room fell silent. Everyone's eyes revealed a look of respect.

...

Dingjing, headquarters of Yichen Group!

Night had fallen, and the lights of Yichen Company's headquarters building shone brightly.

Woo Woo... Squeak!

A Rolls-Royce Phantom stopped at the open-air parking lot in front of the headquarters.

Click!

The car door opened, and Jiang Chen, Yan Hu, Song Wanqiu, and Wang Zongming stepped out and walked straight towards the entrance of the company.

"Hello, may I know who you are looking for?"

Upon reaching the company lobby, a receptionist came forward to greet them.

"You're busy enough!" Jiang Chen said lightly, waving his hand and turning towards the elevator lobby.

"Hey! Sir! Who are you looking for?" The receptionist's expression changed as she hurried forward two steps to block Jiang Chen's way, eyeing him warily.

Nearby, four security guards stepped forward and came close to Jiang Chen and his companions, scrutinizing them.

Jiang Chen was taken aback, glanced at the nearby security guards, and looked at the receptionist in confusion, "What's wrong? Why so vigilant?"

"Sir, may I know who you are looking for?" the receptionist asked again.

Pfft!

A laugh sounded. Jiang Chen turned his head to see Song Wanqiu looking at him with teasing eyes.

"Mr. Jiang, are you... being stopped at the Yichen front desk?" Song Wanqiu asked, her words heavy with implications.

Jiang Chen was slightly startled and then quickly realized the situation.

Indeed, he was being blocked at his own company's front desk!

With a wry shake of his head, a sense of guilt rose in Jiang Chen's heart. How long had it been since he last visited the company, to the point that even the front desk didn't recognize him?

He took a careful look at the receptionist blocking his way, and feeling both amused and exasperated, he said, "I'm looking for Jing Yi."

"Jing Yi? Do you mean our President Ye?" The receptionist frowned, a look of disgust appearing in her eyes.

Jiang Chen noticed the change in the receptionist's eyes and frowned, asking in a grave tone, "What's the matter? Has anyone been causing trouble for Jing Yi lately?"

"Sir, I'm sorry, please show some respect. Refer to President Ye by her full name, or simply as President Ye!" The receptionist's tone turned cold, and anger gleamed in her eyes.

A cold light flashed in Jiang Chen's eyes. If the receptionist felt such aversion, could it be...

"I am Jiang Chen, the chairman of Yichen, Jiang Chen. Tell me, has Jing Yi encountered any trouble recently?" Jiang Chen's face darkened as he spoke sternly.

"Sir, you are crossing the line! Are you one of those people sent by Si Laide? Let me tell you, our President Ye has a deep relationship with Chairman Jiang, and it's not something scum like you can interfere with. Please leave immediately!" the receptionist snapped back coldly.

Thump Thump Thump!

Several security guards approached Jiang Chen, saying coldly, "Sir, please leave immediately. We at Yichen do not welcome you!"

Jiang Chen glanced at the few security guards and raised an eyebrow, "You are not from Yichen Security Company! Weren't we supposed to have security personnel from the security company here? What exactly is going on?"

"Sir, please don't change the subject!" The leading security guard spoke sharply and reached out to grab Jiang Chen's arm.

Slap!

Yan Hu caught the security guard's hand and said in a low voice, "The Young Master really is Jiang Chen!"

"The same trick, you used it the last time. We were fooled once, do you think we will be fooled again?" the security guard retorted coldly, shaking off Yan Hu's grip, and this time he reached directly for Jiang Chen's collar.

Slap!

Yan Hu caught the security guard's hand again and turned to look at Jiang Chen.

"Wait a moment, I'll call Jing Yi!" Jiang Chen spoke calmly, taking out his phone to make a call.

The other security guards were about to take action but paused when they heard this. The receptionist and the leading security guard also hesitated.

"That person... could he really be the chairman?"

"Well, I don't know, but he looks handsome. He barely matches up with our president!"

"Stop talking. What if he's not? It would be embarrassing for the president!"

"They're making a call now. It must be true, right?"

In just a moment, around a dozen employees gathered in the lobby, pointing and murmuring about Jiang Chen.
