Liu Shaolong’s expression was grim.
He said to Chen Jie, "Brother Chen, my older brother has an unusual identity. He seems to be cooperating with Feiyang Group from our provincial capital. When he arrives shortly, I suggest you say a few nice words to him and apologize. The problem should be resolved then."
"Liu Shaolong, are you still helping outsiders? When my dad gets here, you'll be in trouble!" Wu Lifan shouted.
Chen Jie looked at Liu Shaolong in surprise. "Aren't you his biological uncle?"
"I used to be, but now, our relationship is a bit… delicate…"
Liu Shaolong explained with a wry smile.
It turned out that years ago, Wu Shanghuang, Wu Lifan's father, was like Liu Shaolong, involved in the underworld.
They had sworn brotherhood then and called each other brothers.
However, as their businesses developed, Wu Shanghuang gradually went legit and even partnered with Feiyang Group, thus becoming a tycoon.
Wu Shanghuang began to look down on Liu Shaolong, who was still in the underworld, and their relationship started to become delicate.
Chen Jie understood and asked, "So, your relationship with this kid isn't that great anymore either?"
Chen Jie was surprised that the Wu family had connections with Feiyang Group.
That made things easier.
"It’s not that it’s not great. I’ve never had children of my own, so I treat this kid as my own son," Liu Shaolong said.
Chen Jie understood. If their relationship weren't so close, Wu Lifan wouldn't have called him over so quickly.
"Pah! You think you're worthy of treating me like your child? What kind of person are you?" Wu Lifan spat.
Liu Shaolong's face stiffened. "Lifan, I've watched you grow up since you were little. I'm your elder. Don't say such things."
"Shut the hell up! Let me tell you the truth, if my dad and I didn't think you still had some use, would we have treated you as one of our own?"
"What great achievements can someone like you have? You’ll be cuffed and jailed sooner or later!" Wu Lifan said dismissively.
Liu Shaolong's face stiffened. "Lifan, how can you say that? Your father and I fought side-by-side back in the day…"
"That was in the past! Stop bringing up old history in front of me! I don't acknowledge it! In our eyes, you’re just a nobody. If my dad hadn't supported you all these years, could you be living so comfortably?"
"Look at my dad! He started from scratch, had foresight, and latched onto Feiyang Group early on! And you? After all these years, you're even worse off than before. You're a blind fool!"
"To put it bluntly, you're just a dog we've kept! Yet you have no self-awareness and dare to consider yourself my uncle? Do you really think calling you uncle makes you my uncle?"
Liu Shaolong's body trembled.
Xia Quan and the others also looked dejected upon hearing about Feiyang Group.
They naturally knew of the Feiyang Group in the provincial capital.
With a market value of hundreds of billions, it was no exaggeration.
Compared to them, the Xia family's one or two hundred million in assets was insignificant in the eyes of others.
After all, their strength was three thousand times that of the Xia family.
At that moment, they thought it was over.
A Zhu thought that if Chen Jie could help her through this crisis, even if she had to be his woman, it would be more than enough.
Facing a behemoth like Feiyang Group, they had no room to resist.
But she knew it was impossible.
At this moment, Chen Jie looked at Wu Lifan and said, "For the sake of Liu Shaolong's affection for you, I'll give you one chance. If you apologize, I'll let you off the hook."
Everyone was stunned.
Chen Jie's tone was too arrogant.
They had already revealed their connection to Feiyang Group, yet he still didn't take them seriously.
Only Zheng Qingshu sneered.
Knowing Chen Jie's true identity, he was not worried at all.
"Kid, the fact that you can say that proves you're not from the provincial capital!" Wu Lifan sneered.
As Chen Jie was about to speak, Liu Shaolong quickly said, "Lifan, Brother Chen is indeed not from around here. He just came from Pingcheng. Don't bother with him…"
"Heh heh, so he's a bumpkin from the countryside. No wonder his tone is so big. I'll teach you a lesson today!" Wu Lifan realized.
A Zhu and Xia Quan also understood.
No wonder Chen Jie had such a big attitude; he wasn't from the provincial capital.
He had just arrived and of course didn't know the power of those big corporations.
"Since you're ungrateful, I'll grant your wish."
Chen Jie's eyes turned cold, and he then took out his phone and dialed Wang Xiaoyan's number.
"You're not going to call for backup too? Hahaha… Be careful, the people you call might be mine! Because my influence is beyond your imagination!" Wu Lifan said mockingly, as if seeing a joke.
"That's exactly what I wanted to say to you!"
Chen Jie's expression turned cold. At this moment, Wang Xiaoyan's voice came from the phone, "Chen Jie, you're looking for me?"
"I need to ask you something. Are there any people surnamed Wu among your company's partners?" Chen Jie asked.
Although Wang Xiaoyan didn't understand why Chen Jie was asking this, she replied, "The company is too large, and I'm not very familiar with these minor figures. Wait a moment, I'll ask."
A moment later, Wang Xiaoyan replied, "Yes, there is such a person. His name seems to be Wu Shanghuang. He's a core partner in our company. What’s wrong, Chen Jie? Do you know this person?"
Chen Jie said, "Not really, but he claimed to be from Feiyang Group and threatened to use Feiyang Group's name to deal with me."
"What? Someone dares to use Feiyang Group's name to deal with you? They're courting death!" Wang Xiaoyan's tone immediately turned cold upon hearing this.
Chen Jie was Wang Xiaoyan's boyfriend. How could Wang Xiaoyan let something like this go easily?
"Okay, I'll be waiting," Chen Jie said.
Chen Jie hung up the phone.
Wu Lifan arrogantly said, "When will the person you called arrive? I'm telling you, if your people haven't arrived before my dad gets here, you'll be in trouble!"
"I didn't call anyone, but your father will soon regret this. I estimate you'll also be disciplined by your father," Chen Jie said.
"Hahaha, who do you think you are? You can arrange my father with one phone call? Alright, I'll wait for you!"
On a highway not far from A Zhu's house, a commercial vehicle was speeding.
Inside, several martial arts experts were seated.
These people all had stern expressions.
One of the men sitting in the back seat was Wu Lifan's father, Wu Shanghuang.
"Shaolong actually dares to help an outsider against my son. It seems he's found a new backer and wants to distance himself from me!"
"Since that's the case, I'll take this opportunity to deal with him!"
