C57 Kneel Down!

Zheng Guoyuan's brow was deeply furrowed, clueless about what Zhang Chen was up to.

Unruffled, Zhang Chen chuckled and asked, "Director Chen, how's the handling of Zheng Guoyuan's shares? Have they been transferred to my name yet?"

At the mention of this, Zheng Guoyuan's frown deepened.

Yet, unnoticed by all, Loong San, who had been standing behind Zhang Chen, had vanished without a trace.

Chen Dafu's voice, filled with deference, emanated from the phone. "Young Master Chen, I've just wrapped it up. I was about to call you and report in."

"Zheng Guoyuan is sly. He transferred all his shares to a mistress he keeps, which took some extra time to sort out."

A smug smile played on Zhang Chen's lips. "Excellent. I'm glad you've taken care of it. You've been diligent."

With a sneer, Zheng Guoyuan retorted mockingly, "Zhang Chen, since when are you on a first-name basis with Director Chen?"

Zhang Chen, still calm, leisurely activated the speakerphone. "Director Chen, Zheng Guoyuan is right here, doubting the situation."

Chen Dafu's tone turned icy. "Zheng Guoyuan, are you showing disrespect to Young Master Chen?"

That single, straightforward question caused Zheng Guoyuan's smirk to petrify.

Could this truly be Chen Dafu?

Zheng Guoyuan's eyes bulged, a look of shock flickering within.

The onlookers wore puzzled looks, utterly baffled by the unfolding scene.

"Answer me!" Chen Dafu's voice, stern and cold, rang out once more.

Zheng Guoyuan was at a loss, unable to grasp the current situation.

Finally, with shaky hands, Zheng Guoyuan took the phone and managed to stammer, "Director Chen, I'm present."

His admission caused a collective gasp. Zhang Chen was indeed well-acquainted with the influential figure who commanded such respect from Zheng Guoyuan!

Lin Miao was dumbfounded.

The green-haired woman and her companions' eyes bulged, their previously mocking faces now frozen in disbelief.

Chen Dafu's voice cut through the tension, "Zheng Guoyuan, let me make myself clear. My lack of interest in dealing with you doesn't mean I'll tolerate your behavior!"

"If you upset Young Master Chen, Yuantai Group can kiss Ningzhou goodbye!"

Zheng Guoyuan's body shook violently at the warning, his phone nearly slipping from his grasp!

"Yes!" he responded instinctively, his eyes glazing over in shock.

Zhang Chen cheerfully took the phone, "Alright, thanks for the help, Director Chen."

With that, he ended the call with a press of a button.

Zhang Chen had been courteous, but brief. Lin Miao was still present, and he didn't want her privy to too much information.

What had transpired was sufficient.

Zheng Guoyuan stood there, petrified, his mouth twitching uncontrollably.

He was at a loss, unable to fathom what had just occurred.

The green-haired woman and her companions were equally stunned, gazing at the unfazed Zhang Chen with a sudden surge of regret.

As Zhang Chen was about to address the group, Loong San returned, placing an SD card in his hand.

Confused looks spread among the onlookers.

"What's this?" Zhang Chen inquired, puzzled.

"It's Yuantai Group's surveillance footage. The issue with their car is bound to show up there," Loong San explained calmly.

Zheng Guoyuan shuddered once more at the revelation.

A sly grin spread across Zhang Chen's face as he taunted, "Anything else you'd like to add?"

Zheng Guoyuan's attempt to speak was futile; his voice shook, and words failed him.

His hope had dwindled to a mere sliver.

Eventually, determination flickered in Zheng Guoyuan's eyes. Amidst the crowd's astonished stares, he knelt before Zhang Chen. "Young Master Chen, I admit my mistake! I'm just an old fool, please have mercy!"

With Chen Dafu's influence and the evidence in Zhang Chen's possession, Yuantai Group's downfall was imminent.

This was no longer an issue that could be brushed off.

Yet Zheng Guoyuan's gesture left everyone bewildered.

Their eyes widened in disbelief, unable to grasp the reality unfolding before them.

Who exactly was Zhang Chen?

Zhang Chen let out a cold laugh and spoke with a detached tone, "Feeling bold a moment ago, weren't you?"

Zheng Guoyuan's mouth spasmed wildly as he raised his arm and struck his own face hard. "I was wrong. I'm less than human!"

"I was wrong!"

In an instant, Zheng Guoyuan's face was swollen and red.

A flicker of astonishment crossed Zhang Chen's eyes.

It was clear that Zheng Guoyuan was a man who didn't flinch from extreme measures.

After a moment, Zhang Chen spoke up, "That's enough."

Zheng Guoyuan quickly ceased his self-punishment, looking at Zhang Chen with eager anticipation.

Zhang Chen murmured softly, "I'll let you off this time, but I'd advise against any more of your petty schemes. Otherwise, this SD card I have could become very public."

Previously, Zhang Chen wouldn't have hesitated to take down Yuantai Car Dealership.

But now, he realized the importance of nurturing connections for successful growth.

Whether to honor his master's dying wish or to address the issue Lau Qingyue had mentioned, building his business network was now essential.

Connections were indeed crucial.

Upon hearing this, a gleam of excitement lit up Zheng Guoyuan's eyes. He said with reverence, "Thank you, Young Master Chen! I am at your service from now on!"

Zhang Chen, unfazed, teased, "About today's incident..."

At those words, Lin Miao, the green-haired woman, and the others lit up with excitement.

They hadn't expected Zhang Chen to remember what had happened!

They had grasped the earlier conversation and realized they'd been duped by Yuantai Group. Their anger was palpable, and their excitement mounted.

Zheng Guoyuan quickly offered a placating smile. "Young Master Chen, let's consider today's incident forgotten. I'll even throw in a car for you!"

At this offer, the green-haired woman and her companions could barely contain their excitement.

Their eyes sparkled as they gazed at Zhang Chen – not only were they off the hook for any payment, but they were also in line for a free car.

Yet, Zhang Chen's brow furrowed, and he spoke with a chilly edge, "So your dealership's cars are just disposable? You need to handle this fairly!"

Everyone was stunned into silence.

The woman with the green hair and her companions' faces were utterly frozen in shock.
