"What do you mean, 'almost there'? Have you already signed the surrender agreement and are preparing to send it over? Hahahaha."

Upon hearing Jiang Chen's words, Li Wancheng burst into loud laughter.

Li Liyun and Xu Yan also laughed unrestrainedly, their laughter filled with the thrill of revenge.

But Jiang Chen merely glanced at Li Wancheng indifferently and smiled, "When I said 'almost there', I meant that your Li family is almost no longer qualified to sit here!"

"What do you mean?" Li Wancheng's face instantly darkened.

Just as Li Wancheng's voice fell, the ringtone of a cell phone sounded.

"Answer the phone," Jiang Chen glanced at Li Wancheng's pocket and smiled slightly, "You'll understand what I mean."

Chen Wutian's eyes narrowed slightly, and he turned to look at Li Wancheng.

"Hello!" Li Wancheng's eyes were fixed on Jiang Chen as he answered the call.

"Chairman, it's bad, someone is targeting our company's stocks!"

"Chairman, authorities from various departments have arrived, saying our factory's sanitation doesn't meet standards, fire safety doesn't meet standards, and... well, basically, nothing meets the standards. They've ordered us to suspend operations for rectification, and seals have been posted!"

"Chairman, the bank has sent a demand note, ordering us to repay all loans by today, or else they will auction off our company building. All of the company's accounts have been frozen!"

"Chairman, all of Dingjing's partners have unilaterally terminated their contracts!"

...

One call after another came in succession, leaving Li Wancheng's face exceedingly grim. By the time he hung up the phone, Li Wancheng's face had turned as pale as a ghost.

Ding-ling-ling!

Ding-ling-ling!

"Hello... What? How is that possible?"

"Hello, Director Zhang... Why? Why cancel the contract?"

"Hello..."

The conference room was filled with the sounds of ringing phones, as the people Li Wancheng had rallied all received calls.

"What's going on? Our partners in Dingjing are suddenly saying they're cancelling contracts!"

"You too? Me as well; all of Dingjing's partners have terminated their contracts with me!"

"What is happening?"

The conference room descended into chaos, and suddenly, everyone simultaneously turned to look at Jiang Chen. They recalled that Li Liyun had said earlier that Jiang Chen was the leading figure in Dingjing's business community!

"Sir, may I ask what your relationship is with the Yi Chen Group?" a middle-aged man from the Li family alliance asked Jiang Chen nervously.

Jiang Chen smiled slightly, "You really joined sides without clarifying the situation! The chairman of Yi Chen Company is from the Gong Family, previous chairman of Sihai Investment, and the president of Yi Chen Company is from the Ye Family, former Family Head of Jinhai's Ye Family. I am the owner of Yi Chen Group, Jiang Chen!"

"The owner of Yi Chen Group?!"

"You're the mysterious owner of Yi Chen?!"

The members of the Li family alliance all changed color dramatically, their expressions filled with shock. Their eyes were wide with disbelief.

Yi Chen was no ordinary company; it was a super carrier with assets over a hundred billion. And Jiang Chen was the owner of such a company?

Was this some kind of fantastic tale?

"This..."

"Mr. Jiang, we..."

Then, everyone in the Li family alliance began to panic.

Jinhai and Dingjing were closely connected, with countless business cooperations between the two cities. Although Jinhai was also a prefecture-level city, it paled in comparison to Dingjing, just as Dingjing was far from Jincheng's level. If all of Dingjing's business partners ceased to seek out Jinhai's companies, Jinhai's economy would decline by dozens of percentage points!

"You can't do this! What are you trying to do? Do you want to destroy Jinhai's economic system?"

Li Wancheng, too, could hardly believe it and spoke with a ferocious expression, "The bosses of Jinhai won't allow you to do this. If you get Dingjing's business community to boycott Jinhai's, it will directly cause the collapse of Jinhai's economy!"

"How could Jinhai's economy collapse? It's only going to make the economy of people like you collapse," said Jiang Chen indifferently.

Ding-ling-ling!

Ding-ling-ling!

Once more, a chorus of cell phones rang, and Li Wancheng and others unanimously looked towards Cheng Zhiqiang, Lin Youpeng, and several others.

Jiang Chen smiled slightly and gestured to Cheng Zhiqiang and the others, "Answer the phone."

"Hello, this is he!"

"Hello..."

Cheng Zhiqiang and the others picked up the calls, and almost immediately after the other side finished speaking, they uniformly turned their gazes to Jiang Chen.

Their faces were filled with surprise and an indescribable excitement!

"All those partnerships are now yours."

Jiang Chen waved his hand lightly, as if he were commanding the land.

Subsequently, he gave a faint smile, "With industries spanning almost every sector, the economy of Jinhai will not collapse as long as you are here."

"Thank you, Mr. Jiang."

Cheng Zhiqiang and the others quickly stood up and excitedly bowed to Jiang Chen to express their gratitude.

Li Wancheng's face, however, turned completely dark; this move to pull the rug out from under him was indeed ruthless!

"Li Wancheng, how is your family's industry doing?" Chen Wutian, whose face was also ashen, asked, feeling an ominous premonition upon seeing Li Wancheng's expression.

Swallowing hard with a bitter face, Li Wancheng said, "Chen Shao, our factory has completely halted operations, all our partners in Dingjing have unilaterally stopped cooperating, the banks are pressing for debts, and our stocks have hit the limit down. You must help me, Chen Shao!"

"You bastard!" Chen Wutian cursed angrily, stood up, and glared furiously at Jiang Chen, "Jiang Chen, you dare to target the Li family? There are ten billion of the Chen family's funds in the Li family's industries, do you dare to mess with that? Are you sick of living?"

All members of the Li family alliance turned their heads in unison, staring straight at Jiang Chen.

They wanted to see how Jiang Chen would respond; they hadn't completely panicked yet, because Chen Wutian was still there, believing that Jiang Chen couldn't possibly withstand the pressure from the Chen family.

"So what if the Chen family's funds are there?"

Jiang Chen looked up at Chen Wutian and spoke indifferently, "The moment your Chen family helped them to suppress my friend, it was already destined that those funds would go down the drain."

"Ha ha! Ha ha…" Chen Wutian burst out laughing, his face twisted as he said, "Good, good Jiang Chen, you dare to swallow the Chen family's funds. Kid, do you think Yi Chen Group can withstand the retaliation from the Chen family?"

"Swallow your funds?" Jiang Chen said with a cold laugh, "That's a big accusation to make. Even if I had swallowed your funds, so what? Others may fear the Chen family, but I do not!"

"You've got guts!"

Chen Wutian bellowed in anger, "You're looking for death, I'll give it to you."

With a wave of his hand, Chen Wutian coldly said, "Kill him!"

Whoosh whoosh!

Two middle-aged men from behind Chen Wutian charged towards Jiang Chen.

"Seeking death!"

Hum!

A roar exploded, sending a massive oppressive force onto the two middle-aged men.

Thud thud thud!

The two middle-aged men's forward movement abruptly halted, and they retreated several steps with faces full of shock and fear, only stopping when they hit the wall.

"What are you doing? Kill him for me, kill that bastard Jiang Chen!" Chen Wutian demanded furiously, staring down the two middle-aged men and barked the order.

"Who dares to lay a hand on the Dragon Tooth's chief instructor? Such audacity!" A furious shout rang out.

Bang!

The door to the conference room was kicked open, and two men in military uniforms walked in.

"The chief instructor of Dragon Tooth?"

"Who is that?!"

"Who are these two men?"

Everyone in the conference room turned with surprise and looked at the two men in military uniforms.

"Could it be…"

"Senior officer and junior officer?!"

As they recognized the military ranks of the two men, the crowd let out exclamations.

"Are you the Dragon Tooth Special Combat Team's commander Shen Xiangtian?" Taking a closer look at the visitors, Chen Wutian's expression changed as he tentatively asked.

The Chen family was a military family, with the old man of the Chen family serving as the deputy commander of the military region where the Dragon Tooth Special Combat Team was based—Chen Wutian had once seen a photo of Shen Xiangtian at his grandfather's.

"Chen Er Shao, are you saying you want to kill the chief instructor of Dragon Tooth Special Combat Team?" Shen Xiangtian looked coldly at Chen Wutian.

Chen Wutian was stunned for a moment and hurried to explain, "Commander Shen, what do you mean? I had no intention of killing your chief instructor. Who is your chief instructor?"

"Reporting to the chief instructor, Chen Jiantao, captain of the first squad of the second company of Dragon Tooth Special Forces, under the orders of the commander of Dongfang Zone, has come to escort Instructor Jiang to the Dragon Tooth training base. The matter is somewhat sudden, so please forgive us, Chief Instructor!" Accompanying Shen Xiangtian, Chen Jiantao stepped forward next to Jiang Chen, saluted respectfully, and called out loudly.

"What?"

"Is Boss Jiang the chief instructor of the Dragon Tooth Special Combat Team?!"

"How is this possible?!"

"It's over! It's all over! The chief instructor of the Dragon Tooth Special Combat Team… Even the Chen family wouldn't dare to touch him, right!"

The conference room was filled with uproar, and everyone looked at Jiang Chen with disbelief.

"How is this possible?"

"This is impossible!"

Li Liyun and Xu Yan's eyes were wide open, looking absolutely flabbergasted.

That was the Dragon Tooth Special Combat Team! The top special forces team in the country, the nation's trump card! And their chief instructor was Jiang Chen?

This was beyond their belief!
