"I'm not worthy? And you are?" Ye Chen's eyes turned cold as he said, "You're just a waste, unable to even keep your own wife in check. Churan following you is too pitiful. It would be much better if she followed me. Whatever she wants, I can provide for her!"
Ye Chen's expression turned icy. He lowered his voice and said, "I'll give you two options. First, apologize to Churan in front of everyone and take back what you said. Second, I'll make your family's conglomerate go bankrupt. Your choice."
"Hahaha, are you joking with me? Who do you think you are, making my family's conglomerate go bankrupt?" Zhang Wenhao burst into laughter, looking disdainfully at Ye Chen, clearly not taking his words seriously.
"Are you daydreaming, you moron? What do you have to make my family's conglomerate go bankrupt? Do you even know how much my family's conglomerate is worth? Do you think bankruptcy is just a word?" Ye Chen's expression remained unchanged, his gaze carrying a look of disdain as he stared at Zhang Wenhao for a moment. Then he randomly dialed a number and called Tang Sihai.
"Within three minutes, I want to see the complete bankruptcy liquidation of Zhang Wenhao's family conglomerate, debt explosion!"
To bankrupt a conglomerate worth billions in three minutes was nothing short of a daydream!
Zhang Wenhao's eyes turned cold as he stared at Ye Chen and said, "You've been blowing hot air all over the place! Who do you think you are, that internet super tycoon?"
He then continued coldly, "Waste, stop pretending. I'll give you two options as well. First, kneel down and apologize to me, then divorce Churan immediately. Second, I'll find a few people to completely ruin you, so you can watch me and Churan live happily together. Your choice! You have one minute!"
Ye Chen glanced at his phone and said, "You have one minute left. Are you sure you don't want to reconsider?"
"Get lost! You have thirty seconds left to decide. If you don't kneel down, I'll make you regret it for the rest of your life!" Zhang Wenhao said indifferently.
"Twenty seconds!"
"Ten seconds!"
"Five seconds!"
"Time's up! Don't blame me for being ruthless. It's your own fault, you waste!" Zhang Wenhao straightened his collar and signaled to the bodyguards, ready to teach this waste a lesson.
But just then, Zhang Wenhao's phone suddenly rang.
He was stunned to see that it was his father calling and quickly answered.
"Dad, I'm already at the banquet. Are you here?"
On the other end of the phone, Zhang Wenhao's father roared frantically, "You waste! Who did you offend? What kind of trouble did you get into? All our shareholders are frantically selling our conglomerate's stocks now. Our stocks have plummeted by over eighty percent! The bank suddenly came to demand repayment of debts! All our partners have suddenly terminated our cooperation and stopped settlements! Our financial chain has been broken! Bankruptcy liquidation is the only way out!"
Listening to the voice coming from the phone, Zhang Wenhao's face instantly turned pale, cold sweat dripping down his forehead.
"We're finished! Completely finished!"
Zhang Wenhao wanted to ask more, but suddenly heard the sound of police sirens from the other end of the phone, followed by the sound of the door being broken down and the voices of the police officers asking his father to cooperate with the investigation.
He suddenly felt weak all over, dropped his phone to the ground, shattered it.
His legs went weak, and he knelt down in front of Ye Chen.
As the wind blew by, his body and heart felt icy cold.
The bodyguards, seeing this scene, were all uncertain and dared not approach anymore.
Zhang Wenhao was filled with fear and asked Ye Chen in a low voice, "Who are you really? Did you do all this?"
The onlookers were also astonished. Zhang Wenhao had just received a phone call, and now he was suddenly kneeling in front of the son-in-law of the Xiao family. What was going on?
Ye Chen lowered his head, glanced at him, and said softly, "I gave you a chance to choose, but you didn't choose wisely."
"I know I was wrong, I apologize to you, please spare me! Churan has nothing to do with me at all. I haven't touched her at all. The cooperation with the Empire Group wasn't secured by me helping her. Everything I said just now was made up. I beg you, spare me, spare my family!" Zhang Wenhao kept kowtowing and apologizing. He couldn't imagine that a son-in-law of the Xiao family could have such great power. A single phone call had caused his family to go bankrupt!
When he looked up at Ye Chen's face, he felt that the plain face was even scarier than a demon's! To bankrupt his family in a matter of minutes, this person was not someone he could afford to offend!
Ye Chen shook his head and said, "You should be grateful because at least I spared your life! Otherwise, your whole family would have died by now!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Wenhao's face turned pale and he trembled violently all over.
Ye Chen looked at him coldly and continued, "Let me tell you the truth. I am indeed the online super tycoon. If you don't want to die, you better not reveal my identity randomly. Otherwise, you and your father won't live to see tomorrow morning!"
With that said, Ye Chen patted Zhang Wenhao's face and ignored him, walking into the hall.
Zhang Wenhao collapsed completely on the ground. Despite feeling utterly humiliated by Ye Chen's extreme actions, he didn't dare to resist.
As he watched Ye Chen enter the hall, Zhang Wenhao crawled desperately into the hall as well.
Scanning the room, he caught sight of Xiao Churan's figure and hurriedly crawled towards her, kneeling at her feet, repeatedly kowtowing and crying out, "Churan, I apologize to you. I shouldn't have spread rumors about you. You have nothing to do with me getting the project with the Empire Group. Please, spare me!"
Startled by his actions, Xiao Churan tried to step back, but accidentally bumped into a warm embrace. When she turned around, she found herself embraced by Ye Chen.
Seeing Ye Chen, Xiao Churan, who had been meticulously dressed for the occasion, appeared like a dazzling star among the crowd, shining brightly.
Watching Zhang Wenhao rushing towards Xiao Churan, Ye Chen held her in his arms first to prevent her from falling and gave Zhang Wenhao a fierce glare.
Terrified, Zhang Wenhao immediately crawled away, afraid of provoking Ye Chen.
Perplexed, Xiao Churan asked, "What's wrong with him?"
Ye Chen held her while whispering softly, "Seems like he's gone crazy. Don't mind him."
Although they were husband and wife, they hadn't had much physical contact. Feeling the warmth of Ye Chen's embrace, Xiao Churan blushed deeply.
She quickly broke free from Ye Chen's arms and stammered, "Um, the chairman of the Empire Group should be here. I want to go and see..."
