Chapter 539: Chapter 536: Sensation (Part 1)

But he still did not directly continue with what Gao Wencheng had said. Instead, he took several deep breaths in quick succession to calm his emotions as much as possible, and turned his gaze to Gao Junjie, who was standing behind his father, "Xiaojie, would you please tell me the details of what happened tonight?"

"Yes, uncle!"

Although Gao Junjie usually acted arrogantly in public, he did not dare to behave recklessly in front of this uncle. He even refrained from speaking too much, keeping his head down until he heard his uncle’s words. Then, he respectfully nodded and began to recount the events of the banquet. As he spoke, his fists clenched involuntarily, and a bitter expression flashed across his eyes.

He did not recount the details exactly as they had occurred, such as his own involvement in provoking Xiao Yi. Instead, he adamantly blamed Chen Jianguo for deliberately humiliating them. He described how Chen Jianguo and his daughter had grimaced when receiving his gift, and how they had smiled joyously while receiving gifts from others, even those of poor quality from street vendors like Xiao Yi. He even claimed that he was inexplicably driven away later, exaggerating the story significantly.

"Uncle, Chen Jianguo’s actions were not just an insult to your nephew. It’s fine for me to lose face, but our Gao Family, your dignity, it cannot be affronted in this way! I think, under no circumstances should we let this matter rest!"

After finishing his narration, Gao Junjie’s voice grew somewhat excited.

Chen Jianguo, you will definitely regret your choices tonight!

A ferocious look flashed in Gao Junjie’s eyes as he inwardly screamed.

At this moment, he detested Chen Jianguo even more than Xiao Yi. The image of Chen forcing him out with a dark face was etched in his mind, incessantly replaying.

His vision was filled with the mocking glances of the guests from that evening, especially those he recognized, the ’uncles’ he had greeted before the banquet began.

Gao Wenhua could tell from Gao Junjie’s demeanor that his story was likely exaggerated and sensed that his nephew was inciting him to take action against Chen Jianguo. However, he was not in the mood to argue with him at the moment.

One fact was definite, whether exaggerated or not, for whatever reason, Chen Jianguo had forced Gao Junjie out in front of so many people. Indeed, it was a fact that the Gao Family had been humiliated, and gravely so!

His heart was indeed stirred by Gao Junjie!

"Chen Jianguo!"

Gao Wenhua slammed his fist on the table, his face turning incredibly somber, "Does he really think his Jianguo Group is so impressive? Initially, I intended to give him a way out, but unexpectedly, he was so oblivious. Since he does not respect my kind gestures and chooses punishment over toasting, let us engage with him. Let him know that our Gao Family is not to be oppressed by a trivial Chen Jianguo!"

Gao Wenhua’s voice carried a chilling frost and a sharp murderous intent.

Gao Junjie, seeing his uncle’s expression, knew in his heart that this time his uncle was determined to strike hard.

Chen Jianguo, you will soon experience the prowess of our Gao Family! I will make you realize that we of the Gao Family are not to be trifled with, and I, Gao Junjie, am not one you can humiliate!

"Number two, immediately call Wang, Li, Zhao, and the others. We’re going full force to strike at Jianguo Group!"

After speaking, Gao Wenhua immediately turned his head with a resolute and forceful tone to Gao Wencheng beside him.

"Yes!"

Seeing that the eldest had finally made a decision, Gao Wencheng’s face lit up with joy. He answered loudly, quickly exited, and began to carry out the tasks assigned by his leader.

"Chen Jianguo!!"

A cold smirk passed through Gao Wenhua’s eyes as he clenched his fists.

Had it been an ordinary time, even if he had faced such an insult, he would not have decided so quickly to take action against Chen Jianguo. After all, the strength of Jianguo Group was undeniable. But now, things had changed significantly. Jianguo Group was already facing a full-blown suppression by the Li Family, making his decision much simpler!

Even without this incident, he had been contemplating how to move against the Jianguo Group. Between the Li Family and Jianguo Group, weighing priorities was inevitable. Previously, he still hesitated due to his longstanding relationship with Jianguo Group, but now this incident had given him the perfect excuse!

Chen Jianguo, do you really think you are invincible in G City, that you are remarkable? How dare you insult the Gao Family at this time? We already gave you face by sending a child, and yet you throw away the face offered. Do not blame me for being merciless when I strike!

Gao Wenhua sneered inwardly.

All the well-informed individuals in G City spent an anxious night, full of trepidation and unease. By the very next morning, the outcome became apparent. When they, with their bloodshot eyes from sleeplessness, picked up the morning newspaper as usual and opened it, each of them was stunned by the startling headlines, thinking they might be hallucinating due to the sleepless night. Upon confirming their vision was clear, without exception, everyone froze completely. The teacups they held dropped to the ground, and the newspapers fell out of their hands as their backs were soaked through with sweat.

Of course, some had received the answer even earlier. Their names were already appearing in that very newspaper...
