Chapter 750: Retreat one step and the sea and sky are vast at 745

Gu Chen frowned upon hearing the voice on the other end of the line.

He had no idea what sort of demon or monster was calling him this time.

"What is it? If you have something to say, just say it," Gu Chen didn’t want to waste time on this.

"Our President Tong wants to meet with you," the caller said from the other end of the line.

Upon hearing it was President Tong, Gu Chen knew immediately that it must be Tong Jingxin.

He had no idea what Tong Jingxin wanted with him or if there was anything left to discuss.

"If there’s something to say, just say it over the phone; I don’t have time."

Gu Chen really didn’t want to meet with him because he felt there was no need.

However, after he said this, the person on the phone seemed to become instantly irritated.

"Kid, I advise you to look at the situation. It is you who is requesting our President Tong, not President Tong who wants to see you," the voice on the phone said.

After hearing this, Gu Chen just found the guy to be strange.

When had he ever sought out this guy or requested him?

He didn’t understand and even doubted whether the man had delusions.

Clear though there wasn’t a big issue, the guy on the line was making it seem like a huge deal had occurred.

Under these circumstances, everything changed in an instant.

"If you have something to say, then say it; if not, then just hang up," Gu Chen said before promptly hanging up the call.

He didn’t just disregard the person on the other end of the line, but Tong Jingxin as well.

He had always thought that Tong Jingxin amounted to nothing.

Perhaps Tong Jingxin could threaten Wei Tianfu, but he could never threaten him.

After he hung up, the phone rang again after about five minutes.

Gu Chen was starting to get annoyed by the matter.

Wasn’t this just harassing him with phone calls?

By the time he answered the phone again, he was ready to give whoever was on the other end a piece of his mind.

But instead, he heard the voice of Brother Zhu Zi.

When he heard Brother Zhu Zi’s voice, he finally understood what was going on.

"Hey Gu Chen, I just had my people call the Tong Family to arrange a meeting for a chat tonight. You come along too," Brother Zhu Zi said.

With that, Gu Chen finally knew what was going on. No wonder that guy had said it was a request from him; it turned out Brother Zhu Zi had called them.

From the tone of Brother Zhu Zi’s voice, it was obvious he wanted to resolve the issue.

This was completely different from what Gu Chen had anticipated before.

He had previously thought it would be a simple clash, like crossing swords or exchanging gunfire, and then they would see.

Of course, he also fully understood why Brother Zhu Zi would act this way.

It was obviously because he felt that he, Gu Chen, had little local influence and capital. Offending the Tong Family now and settling it with some money was clearly the best option.

Perhaps in the past, Gu Chen would have gone along with this approach. If some money could resolve an issue, it was acceptable to let it be.

Even if the circumstances lacked those two premises, Gu Chen might have truly been willing to spend the money to get rid of the trouble.

But the crux of the problem was that the situation had touched Gu Chen’s bottom line.

First and foremost was the conduct of Ji Pianran who had repeatedly harassed Pian Ran with his words, and his attitude toward Pian Ran was something Gu Chen could not stand.

Gu Chen could forgive anything else, but when it came to the matters involving his mother and daughter, he would never forgive, no matter what.

Another issue was concerning his own small liquor company.

Regarding this company, Gu Chen had been planning for quite some time, not just a day or two.

As a result, now that he has disrupted all the plans, Gu Chen can’t tolerate him in this matter.

So, to Gu Chen, this guy no longer has the premise for reconciliation.

"Gu Chen, at our age, it’s better to avoid trouble than to seek it.

Why should we be bothered by these trivial matters? It would still be best to sit down and have a proper talk."

"I believe with my presence, the Tong Family wouldn’t dare to be too arrogant.

After all, even a dragon doesn’t suppress the local snake, and he is very aware that it’s dangerous for him to reach out here.

There are quite a number of people from Yancheng keeping an eye on the Tong Family, so he wouldn’t dare to act recklessly; if he really did, he would face the consequences."

At this moment, Brother Zhu Zi spoke to Gu Chen with a deep and heavy tone.

He seemed to understand Gu Chen very well and appeared to know what Gu Chen was planning to do.

That’s why he said this to Gu Chen at this moment.

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen did feel quite uncomfortable inside.

Of course, his emotions were not directed at Brother Zhu Zi.

He also understood what Brother Zhu Zi meant by saying these words to him today.

"Okay, I got it, let’s meet up tonight then," Gu Chen said.

Gu Chen did not snub the face Brother Zhu Zi was giving him.

"That’s right, let’s have a good talk in the evening.

But let me tell you, no matter what, we mustn’t resort to violence again. Whether we get along or not, if we don’t, we just bang the table and leave. But remember, no more fighting, or the trouble will be big if it comes to blows."

Brother Zhu Zi suddenly seemed to remember something and quickly reminded Gu Chen.

Brother Zhu Zi was really worried that Gu Chen would act impulsively again and cause a big problem if he got physical.

"Don’t worry, Brother Zhu Zi, I won’t," Gu Chen reassured.

Although he said that, Gu Chen himself wasn’t sure whether he would resort to violence tonight.

Because he was currently under the protection of a security agreement.

If that guy dared to make a move against him, there would certainly be people to subdue him.

By then, whether or not to hit back wouldn’t be up to him.

But Gu Chen did not say these words in front of Brother Zhu Zi.

It’s best to discuss these matters when they met face-to-face.

At this time, Gu Chen was calmly cooking at home.

After nearly three hours, Pian Ran returned home with Tang Tang.

Upon arriving home, Tang Tang was extremely happy.

In contrast, Pian Ran seemed very disheartened.

When Tang Tang went to do homework, Pian Ran came to the kitchen and stood by Gu Chen, his face filled with remorse.

Gu Chen glanced at him, not understanding what was going on.

"What happened?" he asked Pian Ran, curious.

Pian Ran seemed choked up after hearing the question, his nose starting to tingle with sourness.

"Honey, I’m sorry, I didn’t know it would cause such a big problem. If I had known, I wouldn’t have gone yesterday."

He apologized to Gu Chen very sincerely at this moment.

Gu Chen didn’t understand what was going on.

About yesterday’s incident, Gu Chen had not said a single word to him.
