The members of the Gong Family and the Ye Family all looked at the mother and son duo, their hearts brimming with waves of shock.

Ye Qiongbo glanced at Gong Jianqiang, then at Jiang Chen, who appeared indifferent. A hint of deep thought flashed in his eyes, acknowledging that Jiang Chen was now an absolute big shot in Dingjing. However, the idea that the current Jiang Chen could make Gong Jianqiang personally come over to apologize was absolutely impossible.

After all, the Gong Family had also fought its way up to the status of a first-class family in Jincheng, and merely the current scale of the Yi Chen Group was not enough to make Gong Jianqiang personally come over to apologize for such a matter.

With this in mind, Ye Qiongbo thought of the luxury car convoy that had arrived at the Dingyun Lake Villa a few days earlier, and suddenly he had a guess in his heart.

Ding dong!

The intercom at the door rang, and the voice of An Hu came in, "Young Master, several people have arrived. They didn't reveal their identities, they only said that Captain Yan Hu knows them."

Jiang Chen was slightly startled and turned his head to look at Yan Hu standing beside him.

Yan Hu bent down and whispered in Jiang Chen's ear, "Young Master, the leaders of your business forces have come."

"Now they come, what were they doing before?" Jiang Chen said with a cold smile.

Yan Hu's heart sank, knowing Jiang Chen harbored grievances against those people.

When Yi Chen was in trouble, those people did not come; when Yi Chen moved against the Four Great Aristocratic Families, those people did not act. Now that the situation was settled, they came. It's important to remember that sending charcoal in snowy weather and adding flowers to brocade are completely different; even if the flowers are larger than the brocade, they are not worth much attention.

"Let them wait," Jiang Chen said in a deep voice.

"Yes!" Yan Hu responded and walked out of the villa.

At the gate of the Dingyun Lake Villa.

A series of luxury cars were parked there, and a group of men in business attire and leather shoes waited impatiently beside their cars.

"Is this Young Master taking himself too seriously?"

"Exactly, making us wait here for so long, without even coming out to greet us!"

"Does he know how much power we hold in our hands?"

"Maybe not, otherwise why would he neglect us like this!"

The group of people complained among themselves.

Rage filled An Hu's eyes as he glared at the speaking individuals, but he knew these were the business backbones Elder Master Jiang had prepared for Jiang Chen, and he suppressed the urge to take action.

"Enough!" A cool voice sounded, and a stunning woman in a black gauze outfit descended from the first car, holding a thick stack of documents in her hand. She hadn't stepped out of the car before because she was reviewing these documents.

"Miss Lin."

"Miss Lin."

Seeing the woman get out of the car, the men greeted her respectfully one after another.

"Don't forget who you are. Yes, you were appointed by the Elder Master to manage, but now, you are the subordinates of the Young Master. Don't think that just because you control the large funds that the Young Master needs, you're something special. What the Elder Master can give us, the Young Master can take back!" Miss Lin said coldly.

"Well said!" A voice of praise rang out as Yan Hu appeared at the entrance of the courtyard.

"Boss Yan!"

"Boss Yan Hu!"

A group of men all bowed towards Yan Hu.

"Hu Zi, what did the Young Master say?" Miss Lin stepped forward and asked softly.

Yan Hu let out a cold laugh, "The Young Master told you all to wait!"

"What?"

The group of men looked at Yan Hu with surprise.

"Lin Yue, I admit, you are a business prodigy, but you aren't a qualified leader because the people you manage don't even know who their real boss is!"

Yan Hu coldly stared at Miss Lin and spoke deliberately, "Do you want to set up your own faction?"

Lin Yue was startled and quickly explained, "Hu Zi, I was taken in by the Elder Master Jiang since I was a child. His kindness to me is as heavy as a mountain, and I can never repay it in this lifetime. How could I possibly think of setting up my own faction? How can you say such a thing?"

"You just heard it, what did they say? Does the Young Master need to come out and greet them personally? What status do they have? A bunch of ungrateful bastards! Is that what you call a debt you can never fully repay? Are you not aware of what Elder Master Jiang's greatest hope is right now? Don't you know how important the Young Master is in Elder Master Jiang's heart?" Yan Hu harshly questioned Lin Yue, roaring out.

Lin Yue's face turned pale. She truly hadn't thought about that and was immediately filled with a sense of shame, "Hu Zi, it's my fault. I will apologize to the Young Master."

"Just wait, the Young Master is handling matters."

Yan Hu spoke indifferently, then couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't you all take action when the Young Master was annihilating the Four Great Aristocratic Families? Didn't Butler Lu tell you back then that your strength already belonged to the Young Master?"

"Didn't take action?!" Lin Yue exclaimed in astonishment, turning her cold gaze towards a slightly overweight man, she demanded in a low voice, "Li Zhen, give me a reasonable explanation!"

"This… Miss Lin, at that time… we…" Li Zhen's forehead began to show cold sweat as he stammered his response.

"Hmph!" Yan Hu scoffed, mocking, "Were you all waiting for the Young Master to call and beg for your help?"

Li Zhen's face changed slightly, and he bowed his head without daring to speak.

Lin Yue instantly realized and was immediately filled with rage, shouting, "You bunch of bastards! What did I say? Didn't I tell you to immediately come to the Young Master's aid once he clashed with the Four Great Aristocratic Families? Are you not even listening to my orders now?"

Yan Hu's eyes narrowed, and a dangerous glint appeared as he steadfastly looked at Lin Yue, "Lin Yue, you..."

"Does what you said mean they don't have to listen to me, but they must listen to you?" A detached voice sounded, and Jiang Chen appeared out of nowhere beside Yan Hu.

Lin Yue's eyes flashed with disbelief, and she looked at Jiang Chen in astonishment, completely unaware of his arrival.

"Earth Grade Peak? Your strength isn't bad, but do you think I really have no way to deal with you?" Jiang Chen's gaze was cool as he stared at Lin Yue.

Lin Yue felt a shock in her heart, He can see my strength? Could it be that he is...

After glancing over the group of men, Jiang Chen spoke lightly, "Since you all think I should come out to personally greet you, well, now I'm here. Do you have anything you'd like to say?"

The group of men looked at each other and then turned their gaze towards Li Zhen in unison.

Li Zhen's face changed slightly, he took a deep breath and looked directly into Jiang Chen's eyes, "Young Master, apologies, we did not take action, but you've also succeeded now, so let's just let this go, shall we? I'll introduce to you the forces we have at our disposal."

"Do I need you to introduce them?"

Jiang Chen replied expressionlessly, "The forces you have at your disposal? Meaning that if I want to use them, I need your permission, that it's using your strength, right?"
