Chapter 245: Chapter 0245: Ceding Shares (Seventh Update)

In a certain manor in Shanghai, the situation here was quite the opposite of what Xiahou Renjie had guessed.

Xiahou Longhu stared blankly at the phone, the screen showing that the call had been disconnected. After tens of seconds, he suddenly let out a low roar and smashed the phone onto the ground with great force.

"Bang—"

A muffled sound rang out as the screen and fragments scattered everywhere.

Xiahou Longhu’s chest heaved violently, his expression constantly shifting and changing.

Mr. Ouyang and Mr. Sima exchanged glances, and finally, it was Mr. Ouyang who spoke up: "What’s wrong? Getting so angry just from making a call to Xiahou Renjie?"

"It’s too late!" Xiahou Longhu said with a bitter smile, shaking his head at Mr. Ouyang.

The expressions on the faces of Mr. Ouyang and Mr. Sima changed at the same time.

In fact, they had already received the news earlier: Xiahou Renjie had opened a new restaurant in Shanghai, and Chu Ge had taken Mu Bingtong there.

Because they were worried that Xiahou Renjie, being new to Shanghai, might not understand the situation and could have a troublesome conflict with Chu Ge, Xiahou Longhu had hastily called him.

However, it turned out he was still one step too late!

Mr. Ouyang fell silent for a moment, then frowned and asked, "What kind of conflict? Is it serious?"

Xiahou Longhu smiled bitterly and shook his head, pointing at the phone that he had smashed to pieces on the floor: "This troublemaker has most certainly gravely offended Mr. Chu this time. When Mr. Chu spoke with me on the phone just now, his tone was extremely cold, and he even said if I can’t stand it, I could go and seek revenge."

Upon hearing these words, both old masters instantly understood the gravity of the situation.

Xiahou Longhu let out a heavy sigh and said anxiously, "Damn it, this troublemaker only knows how to cause problems for me. I was worried he’d bring disaster upon us one day, which is why I sent him abroad. Now as soon as he’s back, he’s made such a big mess! I might as well wash my hands off him—whether to kill or slash, let Mr. Chu deal with him as he pleases!"

Xiahou Longhu was not pretending; he truly intended to wash his hands of this renegade.

However, Mr. Ouyang shook his head and said, "This matter still needs to be dealt with properly. Clearly, Xiahou Renjie invoked the name of the Xiahou family in his conflict with Mr. Chu, which means Mr. Chu now harbors ill will towards the entire Xiahou family."

"This beast!" Xiahou Longhu’s face twisted with rage as he growled lowly, "Even if he luckily escapes from Mr. Chu’s hands this time, I’ll break his legs so he can never step out of the house again!"

"This matter, we don’t wish to be involved in, nor can we manage it. Don’t delay; you should go take care of it quickly," Mr. Sima patted Xiahou Longhu on the shoulder and said.

Xiahou Longhu understood this rationale. After a brief farewell to the two elders, he hurriedly had his bodyguards prepare the car and set off towards the hotel.

"Young people nowadays."

After Xiahou Longhu had left, Mr. Ouyang couldn’t help shaking his head and muttered softly.

However, Mr. Sima glanced at him and revealed a mysterious smile: "This incident, for us, may not be a bad thing."

"Oh? How so?" Mr. Ouyang squinted, looking at Sima Lingfu.

Mr. Sima shook his head with a smile: "Better for two families to deal with Mr. Chu than for three families, wouldn’t you say?"

...

In the private room of the hotel, a group of bodyguards remained unconscious alongside Chen Tianxiong, while Xiahou Renjie and a group of young people were all holding their heads with both hands, curled up in the corner of the wall.

Just now, a youngster tried to run away, only to be directly knocked out by a chopstick strike from Chu Ge, which made the rest of them behave.

Chu Ge even had them call their families, notifying their relatives.

As for the hotel, it naturally suspended business. The hotel manager stood at the entrance, his face pale as he prepared, with trepidation, to welcome the arrival of the furious dignitaries.

Before long, a line of luxury cars stopped in front of the hotel entrance, their black-suited bodyguards almost completely blocking the hotel doorway.

One after another, middle-aged men and old men dressed in high-end suits walked towards the hotel, their faces bearing a mix of anger and anxiety.

These people were all chairmen or CEOs of well-known large companies in Shanghai, each one capable of deciding the fates of countless ordinary people!

"Dad!"

Finally, when a middle-aged man in a gray suit entered the private room, a young man holding his head cried out in sorrow and threw himself at the man.

The middle-aged man was originally observing Chu Ge and Mu Bingtong, showing a trace of astonishment especially after seeing Mu Bingtong. But when he saw the scars on his son’s face, he instantly flew into a rage.

"Who the hell did this?"

It wasn’t just this middle-aged man; as one powerful boss after another entered the room, the group of young men each found their respective family members.

Suddenly, the private room was almost filled to the brim with black-suited bodyguards, all of them glaring with immense anger at the two people who were still dining at the table.

"President Mu, we need an explanation!"

In the end, the one in the gray suit was the first to break the silence and speak.

Mu Bingtong looked up at him, about to speak, but was stopped by Chu Ge.

"That’s right, I was the one who fought them."

Only at this moment did everyone’s gaze shift onto Chu Ge.

"That’s good, seems like everyone is here!" Chu Ge looked at the group of upper-echelon middle-aged men before him, nodding with satisfaction, a faint smile on his face.

"Everyone is here?" The man in the gray suit sized up Chu Ge and said with a chilling tone, "So, are you preparing to announce your own death date now?"

Originally, these people were chairmen of large companies, superior to thousands, everyone had to act according to their moods.

Now, seeing their sons maligned to such a degree, they had no intention of settling the matter amicably.

"Indeed, since everyone’s here, let’s talk straight. All of you are in charge of major companies, right? Well, that simplifies things. These youngsters didn’t involve themselves too much this time, and I don’t want to blow this up, so if each company transfers 20% of its shares to Jinxiu Group, then today’s matter, I won’t pursue any further. How about that?"

As soon as Chu Ge finished speaking, the private room fell silent.

"You—what did you say?" Someone in the crowd cleared their ears, thinking they had heard wrong.

It wasn’t just him; every other person was also staring at Chu Ge, their faces expressing indescribable astonishment.

Chu Ge started to laugh, but this time his smile was cold: "I will repeat it one last time: relinquish 20% of your shares, and I won’t follow up on today’s issue!"
