Chapter 464: 0465 It was because of him!

Huang Ya stood beside Shen Mengchen, Ruan Guotao smiled and said, "Director Shen, Wang Jianguo is a cancerous tumor that we at Rongda will never accept. He has tried several times to destroy the friendship between us, and this auction serves as his punishment."

"He threatened you using Huang Ya’s safety as leverage, and I’ve already called the police. They should be here soon."

As Ruan Guotao finished his words, Wang Jianguo was nearly unable to stand, his plans for revenge not yet realized, were ruined by a single statement from Ruan Guotao. At that moment, he hated everyone.

"Hmph, unable to pay the auction price and resorting to kidnapping and threats, Wang Jianguo, you will spend the rest of your life in prison," Wang Chenghu scoffed from the side.

Shen Mengchen felt conflicted. After all, Wang Jianguo had once been a veteran figure at Longjia. Seeing his downfall, her heart wasn’t filled with joy but rather a hint of regret for Wang Jianguo’s choices. If he had been content with his duties without harboring such ambition, he could still have been a veteran figure at Longjia. Unfortunately, Wang Jianguo had made decisions that led him to this bitter end.

Wang Jianguo clenched his fists, roaring, "Wang Chenghu, Ruan Guotao, you two are inhuman. I came to Rongda to offer strategies and plans for you, and this is how you treat me."

His voice was hoarse to the point of breaking.

Ruan Guotao, seeing Wang Jianguo’s hysterical face, merely smiled indifferently and remained unmoved. "All of your actions were aimed at revenge against Longjia. I don’t want Rongda to be used as a pawn by someone. Wang Jianguo, you are an ambitious guy, how could I possibly let you stay long in Rongda?" he said.

Wang Jianguo now saw Ruan Guotao’s true face, bereft of any sentimentality. He was already furious to the extreme.

He laughed bitterly twice and said, "Don’t forget, a lot of Rongda’s files are in my possession, and many people have become loyal to me. Treating me this way benefits you not at all."

Ruan Guotao dismissed him with a wave of his hand. "You are too full of yourself. Did you think I wasn’t aware of your little maneuvers? Since I dared to dismiss you, I’m naturally going to discharge your people as well. As for these files you mentioned, how does it matter to someone who will spend his twilight years in prison?"

"Don’t worry, I will beg the judge to add a few more years to your term," Ruan Guotao laughed loudly.

"You..." Wang Jianguo was furious and was about to attack Ruan Guotao, but his body was no match for Wang Chenghu’s speed. Wang Chenghu’s kick flew out, sending Wang Jianguo crashing into a chair, blood streaming from his mouth.

"Hmph, truly a dog that bites wherever it goes," Wang Chenghu said viciously, his level of disloyalty no less than Ruan Guotao’s.

This scene, witnessed by those who hadn’t left, made them sigh for Wang Jianguo. Once thought to be untouchable, he had fallen from grace in the blink of an eye, and this fall might be one he could never recover from.

However, looking at the actions of Rongda, people were surprised to find that it seemed to be making overtures to Longjia. Considering both were archenemies, this move by Rongda to accommodate Longjia seemed almost like a complete turnaround.

Not only were those present confused, but so was Shen Mengchen. In her heart, Rongda was an archenemy, yet today this foe seemed to be extending an olive branch. She was momentarily stunned.

"Auctioneer, this 5000 sq m plot of land was initially acquired by Longjia’s Director Shen for one billion if it weren’t for Wang Jianguo, it would certainly have been obtained by Longjia. Therefore, I suggest we make the auction one billion to Longjia. This resolves the dispute and it is also the shared desire of our Hengye and Rongda corporations. Only a company such as Longjia can make better use of this land, bringing more benefits to Zhongshan city," Ruan Guotao proposed. The auctioneer’s eyes brightened upon hearing this but hesitated afterward.

"I will discuss it with the higher-ups and let you know the outcome later," the auctioneer said and temporarily left.

Shen Mengchen looked at Ruan Guotao with a suspicious face. Wasn’t this man always against Longjia? Why did he suddenly change his usual demeanor and show goodwill several times today?

Huang Ya also couldn’t understand, because Ruan’s actions were incomprehensible. He was clearly a competitor yet he was helping the opposition, which was not Ruan’s style.

"Miss Shen, after consultation with the senior management and understanding Longjia Group’s qualifications, we have decided to offer Longjia the land at the price of 1.3 billion Yuan. Miss Shen, are you interested?" the auctioneer approached Shen Mengchen and said.

Huang Ya was very surprised and whispered, "Director, 1 billion! We’ve made a profit."

Although Shen Mengchen was excited and felt it was surreal, with her long-standing experience in the business world, she could maintain her composure in any situation. She smiled and said, "I am very pleased."

After Shen Mengchen had transferred the 1 billion Yuan, Longjia acquired a piece of land at a bargain price, and Huang Ya was exceptionally delighted by this scene.

This meant that Longjia’s new project could now proceed.

"Congratulations, Director Shen," Ruan Guotao congratulated her.

As the saying goes, you don’t slap a smiling face. Although Shen Mengchen couldn’t understand Ruan Guotao’s true intentions, securing land rights for 1 billion Yuan was a guaranteed profit.

At this moment, the police arrived and arrested Wang Jianguo, who was bloodied and bruised. As Wang Jianguo was taken away, he drew a lot of attention. He hung his head, his hair covering half of his face, a symbol of complete loss of fame and fortune.

With this, the auction officially concluded. Those leaving had a lasting impression of today’s events, and there would naturally be a lot of discussions tomorrow about today’s happenings, including the puzzling relationship between Ruan and Longjia.

Another person, Wang Jianguo, had become a laughingstock. Not only had he been kicked out by Ruan, becoming homeless once again, but he had also been imprisoned for breaking the law, facing a bleak rest of his life.

As most of the people had left, Ruan Guotao called out to Shen Mengchen, who was about to leave. He whispered with a chuckle, "Director Shen, please send my regards to Young Master Ye Qiu. Please tell him that Ruan is willing to be friends with him. Of course, Ruan and Longjia can also collaborate in the future to strive for the economic growth of Zhongshan City."

It was only then that Shen Mengchen understood some of Ruan Guotao’s surprising actions. It wasn’t because of her, Shen Mengchen, but because of Ye Qiu. Otherwise, why would he have said those final words?

Having grasped the key issue, Shen Mengchen’s lips curled up, "This womanizer, what on earth did he do to make Ruan lower his stance and choose to abandon Wang Jianguo to appease Longjia? Hmm, I must ask him thoroughly."

With her mind set on interrogating Ye Qiu, Shen Mengchen felt delighted and turned to Huang Ya, saying, "Let’s go."

Huang Ya nodded woodenly and followed behind Shen Mengchen, being equally intelligent, she too had grasped the meaning behind Ruan Guotao’s last words.

It turned out that she had been saved by Ruan Guotao ultimately to please Ye Qiu.

That man, always as enigmatic as a riddle.
