Wanguo Bank is a major international bank, and Zhu Zhengkun is the deputy president of Wanguo Bank in Flame Dragon Kingdom, not someone that Li Wancheng could afford to provoke.

Even the Chen Family wouldn't want to offend Zhu Zhengkun lightly.

"Family Head Li, do I need your permission to decide who I can be friends with?" Zhu Zhengkun coldly looked at Li Wancheng.

Li Wancheng's expression changed, and he said in a grave voice, "President Zhu, Wanguo Bank isn't just up to you alone, is it really wise for you to single-handedly offend Jincheng and the Chen Family like this?"

"Is the Family Head Li threatening me now?" Zhu Zhengkun's face turned iron-blue as he spoke.

"It's not a threat, just a reminder for President Zhu," Li Wancheng said solemnly.

"Right, a reminder for President Zhu, after the shareholders' meeting of Wanguo Bank concludes, it will soon be time for the regional conference. It seems that your performance over these three years hasn't been very satisfactory. Be careful, or you might lose your position as the deputy president of Flame Dragon Kingdom!" a deep voice rang out. Chen Wutian had emerged from the hotel.

When the Chen Family sent Chen Wutian over, they had already investigated all the major powers in Jinhai. Zhu Zhengkun was an important figure whom the Chen Family specifically reminded Chen Wutian to be wary of; Chen Wutian had a detailed dossier on Zhu Zhengkun.

"Second Young Master Chen, whether I can continue as the deputy president in Flame Dragon Kingdom is not something you need to worry about. What you should concern yourself with is that I am currently still the deputy president!" Zhu Zhengkun looked at Chen Wutian with an indifferent face.

Chen Wutian sneered and said, "Is that so? What if our Chen Family strongly supports your competitor, Mr. Wang Lijiang? Who do you think has a better chance of winning then?"

"Your Chen Family is welcome to try!" Zhu Zhengkun's expression shifted slightly as he spoke in a low voice.

Wuu wuu...

Just then, suddenly a mighty roaring sound arose, pulling everyone's attention towards it.

Subsequently, they saw a luxurious convoy driving into the hotel's parking lot.

"Wow, what car is that? It looks so dominating!"

"Isn't that a Knight XV? So cool!"

"One Knight XV, with six Rolls-Royce Phantoms as an escort— who is this person? This is quite a grand show!"

"They're not from Jinhai, are they? We don't have such grand tycoons here in Jinhai!"

A chorus of exclamations rose at the hotel entrance as the crowd turned to look at the approaching convoy.

"Mr. Jiang has arrived!" Cheng Zhiqiang let out a long breath, his face alight with excitement as he walked towards the Knight XV.

Lin Youpeng and the others quickly followed suit.

"Young Master Chen, Jiang Chen has arrived," Li Wancheng spoke in a low voice.

Chen Wutian's eyes blazed as he said, "Let him come; it's just about delivering the billion-dollar funds. We should be the ones to welcome him!"

"Yes, with Young Master Chen here, he is nothing. He will definitely obediently hand over Yi Chen Group!" Li Wancheng sycophantically agreed.

"Mr. Jiang."

"Mr. Jiang!"

"Mr. Jiang!"

Cheng Zhiqiang and others approached the Knight XV, and, seeing Jiang Chen getting out of the car, they bowed respectfully.

"Sorry, everyone, for my tardiness!" Jiang Chen apologized to the crowd.

"Oh no, Mr. Jiang, you mustn't say that!" Cheng Zhiqiang and the others hastily waved their hands.

Jiang Chen gave a slight smile, glanced over the crowd, and with a hint of surprise, said, "President Zhu is back? And Elder Ye has come personally?"

"Mr. Jiang, long time no see!" Zhu Zhengkun greeted Jiang Chen.

Elder Ye, looking somewhat abashed, addressed Jiang Chen, "Jiang Chen, sorry, the Ye Family hasn't protected it well."

"Grandpa, what are you saying? We are all one family." A crisp voice sounded as Ye Jingyi and Yè Yùwǎn walked down from the rear of the car.

"Jingyi, you, are you well?" Grandpa Ye looked at Ye Jingyi with surprise.

"I'm well."

Ye Jingyi hurriedly took her grandfather's hand, and they walked inside together, laughing and talking.

Jiang Chen smiled and followed them inside.

But after taking just a few steps, he abruptly stopped.

He saw Li Liyun and Xu Yan.

These two women stood far away on the third floor, gazing down at Jiang Chen with arrogance and condescension through the glass window.

Even with a dozen meters separating them, Jiang Chen could smell the scorn and hatred emanating from their entire being.

Clearly, they had both been waiting for this moment, the chance to take revenge on Jiang Chen.

With a cold smile, Jiang Chen thought, "Indeed, the most poisonous is a woman's heart." He believed that their design must be part of this setup as well.

Too bad, they had all underestimated him.

Because the man he is now is completely different from who he was back in Jinhai; he is no longer the Jiang Chen of the past.

Today, his return to Jinhai was like a dragon returning to the sea, arriving as a ruler!

...

Third floor meeting room of the Pingchang Hotel.

Li Wancheng and Chen Wutian sat at the head of the table, with two prideful middle-aged men standing behind Chen Wutian.

On the left side of the conference table sat the alliance led by Jiang Chen, and on the right side sat the representatives of family forces that Li Wancheng had already gathered.

"The reason we've called everyone here for this meeting is for the development of Jinhai,"

Li Wancheng glanced at the crowd and began with a smile, "The stable and rapid development of a place invariably requires a leader, and today, we will choose this leader."

"Who decreed that development must have a leader?" Zhang Long asked indifferently.

"Is Director Zhang not interested in seeing Jinhai develop better?" Li Wancheng looked at Zhang Long with a cold gaze.

Zhang Long's expression changed, and he sneered coldly, "Stop trying to put a label on me. Let me tell you, Li Wancheng, stop gloating. There's absolutely no way I, Zhang Long, will submit to you!"

"Heh heh!" A burst of cold laughter rose, and Chen Wutian looked up at Zhang Long, saying chillingly, "Zhang Long, it seems that the arrival of certain people has emboldened you! You don't submit to the Family Head Li, then do you dare to say you don't submit to me?"

"Why should I submit to you, what are you supposed to be!" As soon as Chen Wutian's words fell, Jiang Chen spoke up lightly.

Chen Wutian's face darkened, and he looked at Jiang Chen coldly, "Jiang Chen, if you had stayed in Dingjing nicely, I really couldn't do anything to you, but you should know, this is Jinhai, my turf, Chen Wutian's!"

"Haha! Since when did Jinhai become your turf?" Jiang Chen said with amusement as he looked at Chen Wutian, "You, worthy?"

"You... do you know who I am?" Chen Wutian shouted angrily.

Thump! Thump!

The two men behind Chen Wutian stepped forward, staring straight at Jiang Chen, a glint of murderous intent flashing in their eyes.

Smack!

Yan Hu, who was behind Jiang Chen, stepped forward between Jiang Chen and the two men, looking at them coldly with a sneer.

"The second young master of the Chen Family from Jincheng, Chen Wutian, I know you, but so what?" Jiang Chen said indifferently, "This is Jinhai, not Jincheng. Even in Jincheng, your Chen Family is nothing special, let alone in Jinhai."

"Such big talk!" Chen Wutian's face became thoroughly grim as he spoke each word clearly, "Daring to speak about our Chen Family like that, it seems you're courting death!"

"Jiang Chen, don't think just because you became a business leader in Dingjing that you're something special. In Young Master Chen's eyes, you are nothing. Get on your knees and apologize to him right away!" Li Liyun shouted sternly.

"Jiang Chen, you think Dingjing can compare to Jincheng? You really don't know how high the sky is or how deep the earth is!"

"Exactly, a nouveau riche who got rich by relying on a woman, yet dares to compete with Young Master Chen, I don't know where you get your confidence from!"

Li Wancheng and Xu Yan spoke with mocking expressions.

At that moment, the Li family members were all fiercely ridiculing Jiang Chen, especially Li Liyun and Xu Yan. They still felt humiliated by the past experiences Jiang Chen had caused them.

Since they knew Jiang Yunfei, they had only bullied Jiang Chen, never imagining that Jiang Chen would one day turn the tables and trample them beneath his feet.

But now, they had the opportunity to trample on Jiang Chen again.

So, they wanted to provoke Jiang Chen with all their might, just waiting to watch him become a laughingstock.

But facing these taunts, Jiang Chen remained calm, checked his phone for a moment, and said indifferently,

"It's about time!"
