Chapter 179: Chapter 179: I’ve Got Her Covered

"Chang Long, you have quite the nerve to speak to the Chairman like that. Have you no sense of hierarchy at all?"

Granny Wu stood beside Ye Qingwan, angrily rebuking with a face full of rage.

The martial artists beside Ye Qingwan were also unable to contain their fury.

Though outnumbered, they were ready to fight to the death to protect Ye Qingwan.

Chang Long sneered, "What qualifications does she have to take over the Chairman’s position? Just because she seduced the old Chairman with her beauty, and then used sinister schemes to kill him?"

"How dare you!"

Granny Wu, furious, exclaimed, "Spout any more nonsense, and I will kill you myself!"

Chang Long was not afraid in the slightest; he was followed by two Energizing Skill Grandmasters, so why would he fear Granny Wu?

"Did I say something wrong?"

Chang Long spread his arms, speaking with a face full of anger, "We were the old Chairman’s closest brothers. Before Ye Qingwan came along, we were certain that Ye Qingwan and the old Chairman didn’t know each other."

"How can it be that they just met and got married within a week? But sure enough, the old Chairman died suddenly on his wedding night and passed the Chairman Command to Ye Qingwan."

"Dare you say there’s nothing fishy about that?"

The martial artists beside Ye Qingwan also showed faces of sorrow; they too were deeply saddened by the old Chairman’s death.

"In the Black Dragon Commerce Association, we only acknowledge the token. Now that the East Sea Black Dragon Business Association’s Chairman Command is in my hands, I am the Chairman. What’s wrong with that?"

Ye Qingwan finally spoke up, her face filled with a chilly glint.

Chang Long sneered, "I admit that’s the rule, but what if you obtained this token by murdering the old Chairman?"

"Chang Long..."

Granny Wu, enraged, was about to speak when Ye Qingwan interrupted, "Everything requires evidence. If you can provide evidence that I killed Meng Huasheng, I’ll let you deal with me as you please!"

Chang Long scoffed, "Is evidence still needed? Any clear-sighted person knows that you’re the one who did in the old Chairman."

"Even if it wasn’t you who killed the old Chairman, with your actions, you’re still not fit to be Chairman."

Ye Qingwan frowned, "What heinous deeds have I done that make you think I’m not deserving of the role?"

Chang Long said, "At the engagement banquet at the Chen Family, you disregarded the interests of the Black Dragon Commerce Association, led people to rescue a young man, and even offended the pupil of the Sovereign Master, one of whom is about to become the Deputy Commander of the East Sea Battle Domain."

"Your actions are simply making enemies for the Black Dragon Commerce Association. Aren’t you afraid that the top powers of the East Sea will join forces against us?"

"I..."

Just as Ye Qingwan was about to explain, Chang Long forcefully cut her off, "I haven’t finished talking, don’t interrupt!"

"Of course, with the strength of our Black Dragon Commerce Association, why should we fear a coalition of these powers? However, that boy you’re so eager to protect is rumored to be involved with you, and that’s something people cannot tolerate."

Ye Qingwan’s eyes widened, and she shouted angrily, "Stop spouting nonsense, shut your mouth!"

Chang Long sneered, "What is it? Is this a case of a guilty conscience?"

Ye Qingwan’s eyes flashed with intense murderous intent as she glared at Chang Long, "I know, if it weren’t for my arrival, you would have succeeded to the Chairman position. You’re not content and want to compete with me. I can tolerate that, but I won’t allow you to slander me like this!"

"Everything I’ve said is true, how can it be called slander?"

Chang Long sneered again and again, "As far as I know, your daughter calls that young man ’Dad.’ If you two didn’t share an extremely close relationship, would your daughter call him ’Dad’?"

"I’ve already investigated; that kid is nothing but a useless pretty boy, and you’ve offended several major powers just to save him."

"What’s critical is how shortly after the old Chairman’s death you got involved with another man?"

"What right does a shameless woman like you have to assume the position of chairman?"

"I don’t accept it! Neither do the thousands of brothers in the East Sea Black Dragon Business Association!"

Ye Qingwan trembled with anger. She had never imagined that her aid to Qin Chuan would become a weapon for Chang Long to frame her.

"Of course, it’s not impossible for us to acknowledge you as the chairman, as long as you show the right attitude, we can accept it."

Chang Long’s tone suddenly shifted as he spoke.

Ye Qingwan knew that if she didn’t show the right attitude, the other party really wouldn’t let things go easily.

If internal strife broke out within the East Sea Black Dragon Business Association, it would bring great harm to the entire Black Dragon Commerce Association, especially with her father and uncle vying for power.

In such circumstances, the East Sea Black Dragon Business Association must be in her hands and remain stable.

Ye Qingwan asked coldly, "What kind of attitude do you want me to show?"

"I know you would never admit to having an affair with that boy named Qin Chuan."

Chang Long said with a sly smile, "In that case, kill him. If you kill him with your own hands, it will prove that you have no intimate relationship with him."

"Doing this would also mend relationships with the Chen Family and East Sea Battle Domain. The Chen Family is not to be feared, but the East Sea Battle Domain is not to be offended, especially this guy who is about to take on the position of Deputy Commander, who is also a disciple of the Sovereign Master."

Ye Qingwan was furious, her face filled with anger as she said, "Are you in cahoots with the Chen Family and Lei Ting?"

Chang Long frowned, "Don’t speak so unpleasantly. They were the ones who contacted me first. The Chen Family said that as long as you are chairman, they will regard the Black Dragon Commerce Association as an enemy!"

"Lei Ting also said, as long as you are the chairman, the East Sea Battle Domain will also be an enemy to the Black Dragon Commerce Association."

"Ye Qingwan, for the sake of the Black Dragon Commerce Association, you must hand over the Chairman Command!"

"Of course, you can also choose to kill Qin Chuan yourself, which could also change the predicament of the Black Dragon Commerce Association."

Ye Qingwan’s expression turned extremely grim. The other party really was unscrupulous in their attempt to seize the Chairman Command.

"And you, Zhang Qi and the rest, have you all forgotten how good the old chairman was to you? Now you actually want to follow someone who is very likely the real murderer behind the old chairman’s death."

Chang Long once again targeted the people around Ye Qingwan.

Zhang Qi and the others all had ugly expressions, yet they still defended Ye Qingwan staunchly.

Zhang Qi clenched his teeth and said, "Chang Long, all you want is the Chairman Command, right? Is it appropriate for you to force an abdication with such despicable methods?"

"Hmph!"

Chang Long sneered, "You’re stubborn! Since you’ve chosen a path and you’re determined to go down it, don’t blame me for not being polite to you!"

Ye Qingwan took a deep breath and stared at Chang Long with fury, "Chang Long, the affairs of the Black Dragon Commerce Association are our own business, yet you collude with outsiders. This is a taboo!"

"You want me to compromise? Impossible! You want the Chairman Command? Fine! But only by stepping over my dead body!"

As her words rang out, Granny Wu and the others were all ready to take action.

A terrible glint flashed in Chang Long’s eyes as he gritted his teeth and said, "Since you’ve chosen a dead end, I’ll fulfill it!"

"Move..."

Just as Chang Long was about to give the order to attack, a young figure appeared in front of Ye Qingwan like a ghostly apparition.

"From today onwards, I’ve got Ye Qingwan’s back!"

The newcomer’s voice was not loud but carried an air of supremacy that shocked everyone present.
