On a bustling shopping street in the city of Jinling, many of the city's major corporations are located, and the headquarters of the Gu Group is also here.
Inside the president's office.
Sitting in the office chair was a woman as cold as ice, with an extraordinary presence.
The woman frowned deeply, causing the temperature in the office to drop sharply.
She was Gu Yanran, the person whom the protagonist, the Supreme King Mo Bufan, was supposed to protect.
At that moment, Gu Yanran frowned so intensely because, as the president of the Gu Group, it was impossible for her not to be aware of the information that Gu Yunxiao had obtained.
The situation was far from simple; it was not just about the cancellation of contracts by several dozen companies.
With the withdrawal of these companies, the upstream and downstream businesses of the Gu family were threatened, and the company's stock was plummeting.
Not only that, but there was also panic among the internal employees, with many already having submitted their resignations.
Just then, Gu Yunxiao called.
"Dad, I'm sure I haven't offended anyone, and the company's business has been developing normally. We certainly haven't offended the big figure you're talking about," Gu Yanran said with some impatience.
She was not a three-year-old child; how could she have offended those important figures?
"Yanran, think carefully, consider it thoroughly. Is it possible that you've offended someone important without realizing it?" Gu Yunxiao persisted in asking.
If they hadn't offended anyone, it was unlikely that those big figures would cause trouble for their company for no reason.
"I didn't..." Gu Yanran was about to say that she hadn't offended anyone, but after thinking for a moment, she recalled something and changed her response: "This morning, Li Mingshun came to the company to profess his love for me. Fearing it would leave a bad impression, I asked the security guards to throw him out."
"Who is Li Mingshun?"
"The son of Li Yun."
Upon hearing the name Li Yun, Gu Yunxiao felt blood rush to his head.
However, he thought it was unlikely that his pride would be so small.
His daughter had rejected the declaration of his son; would he take revenge on their company for that?
"Yanran, make sure those security guards only threw him out and didn't harm Li Mingshun, okay? Make sure of that."
Upon hearing her father, Gu Yanran didn't dare delay and immediately called the head of security and the guards on duty.
From them, she learned a crucial detail: a guard named Mo Bufan had kicked Li Mingshun several times and broken his legs.
"Where is Mo Bufan? Where is he now?" Gu Yanran said, her voice slightly hoarse.
This new security guard was only bringing her trouble.
Who was Li Mingshun? He was not someone a mere security guard could reprimand.
If she hadn't been in a bad mood yesterday, she wouldn't even have dared to throw Li Mingshun out.
"That guy had something to do, so he requested the afternoon off today."
The head of security took the opportunity to speak ill of Mo Bufan in front of Gu Yanran, pouring out all his grievances in hopes that Gu Yanran would fire Mo Bufan.
"Okay, I understand!"
Gu Yanran waved her hand to dismiss everyone and quickly informed her father about the matter.
"What?"
"They taught Li Yun's son a lesson?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yunxiao almost spat blood.
No wonder so many people were attacking the Gu family; only Li Yun had the power to do so.
Who was Li Yun? He was the richest man in Jinling, and the Li family was the most powerful among the prominent families in Jinling. Even the other families combined wouldn't dare provoke him.
Li Yun only had Li Mingshun as his son and was very protective of him.
This time, a security guard dared to reprimand Li Mingshun. Whether to avenge his son or to maintain the dignity of the Li family, Li Yun wouldn't let the Gu family off easily.
"It's over, it's over, this is the end," Gu Yunxiao said, disheartened.
If this matter weren't so serious, he could have solved the problem by using his connections. But now, with Li Mingshun beaten up by a security guard from his company, no one would dare to help them.
"Dad, it's all Mo Bufan's fault. Can't we just hand him over and resolve the problem?"
Gu Yanran was a bit naive, thinking that if one person did something, she would be responsible. Since it was Mo Bufan's fault, her Gu family shouldn't be implicated.
"Naive!"
"You're too naive!"
"Who is Li Yun? Would he bother to find trouble with a guard? It doesn't matter whether you ordered it or not; he will think it's our Gu family attacking his son."
Gu Yunxiao, although not very accomplished in business, had a sharp vision for problems.
He could immediately see that Li Yun would take this opportunity to bite the Gu family or even completely devour it.
"This matter is clearly Mo Bufan's fault. Why should it be attributed to our Gu family?" Gu Yanran still felt unjustly offended.
"Why?"
"Because Li Yun is the richest man in Jinling, and the Li family is the most powerful among the prominent families in Jinling. Our Gu family can't afford to provoke them."
"Okay, I'll go beg Li Yun to be lenient and resolve the issue."
Although it all started because of his daughter, Gu Yunxiao had to swallow his pride and beg Li Yun.
Unfortunately, Li Yun would not be satisfied with just an apology.
...
Li Yun returned from the hospital and went straight home.
A convoy of cars arrived in the center of Jinling and stopped in front of a mansion.
This was a property that Li Yun had built at a high cost. It featured a villa, artificial hills, a garage, a pond, an outdoor swimming pool, and other entertainment facilities, even including a helipad with two helicopters parked.
In front of the villa, an old man waited respectfully.
Seeing Li Yun arrive, the old man hurriedly opened the car door.
"Sir, you're back. How is the young man?" the old man asked respectfully.
The old man was named A Xiang and had been following Li Yun for more than twenty years, being extremely loyal to him.
According to Li Yun's memories, after the fall of the Li family, A Xiang remained loyal to the family.
He even attempted to kill Mo Bufan alone but was tortured and killed by Mo Bufan.
With someone like that, Li Yun felt at ease.
"Don't worry, that kid isn't going to die, just leave him in the hospital," Li Yun replied, surprising A Xiang.
A Xiang knew how much Li Yun loved his son, almost like he was wrapped in cotton, so why did he seem different today?
