Who Was This Man, Exactly?

Tang Guogang cast Zhang Bin a sidelong glance and said, "Enough. This matter ends here. Don't bring it up again."

"Since I said I'm severing my marital relationship with her, then I will sever it. Have someone throw her out later—the farther away, the better."

"Otherwise, if people find out I still have ties to her and make Mr. Lin unhappy, that would be truly troublesome."

"Yes."

Zhang Bin acknowledged him, then nodded to several men standing nearby. They quickly headed out.

Before long, a Middle-aged Woman's scream rang out from outside.

Clearly, the Middle-aged Woman had already been thrown out.

Only after hearing the scream did Tang Guogang finally breathe a sigh of relief. He then looked at Zhang Bin beside him and said:

"Zhang Bin, now that you're by my side, you should understand one principle."

"Whenever you offend someone you shouldn't, you must harden your heart and give up certain things, whether money or people."

"Only then can you continue surviving."

"Otherwise, it will bring you a devastating blow and leave you unable to recover."

Zhang Bin was somewhat flattered.

He had not expected Tang Guogang to personally offer him guidance because of what had happened today.

He immediately clasped his hands and said earnestly, "Yes, thank you for your guidance, Boss Tang. Zhang Bin will remember it from now on and will never let you down."

"Mm."

Tang Guogang nodded in satisfaction, then continued drinking tea and watching television.

Beep, beep, beep—

Just then, Zhang Bin's phone suddenly rang.

He glanced at Tang Guogang, who was drinking tea on the sofa. Seeing no objection from him, he answered the call.

However, only a few seconds after picking up, his expression turned incomparably grim.

"Alright, I understand. I'll bring people over shortly."

With that, the call ended.

Seeing the change in Zhang Bin's expression, Tang Guogang seemed to realize something and immediately asked:

"What? Did that distant cousin of yours cause trouble again?"

"Yes, Boss Tang. You know how my cousin has always stirred up trouble outside by relying on my status and connections."

"Normally, no one in Zhonghai would dare provoke him, but this time, he kicked an iron plate."

"Oh? Is that so?"

Tang Guogang's curiosity was immediately piqued. "Tell me. Who dared offend him despite knowing he was your cousin?"

"It's a new major shareholder of Shilin Guomao Group. His name seems to be Lin Chen."

Zhang Bin relayed some of the key information from the call.

Yet the moment he said those words, Tang Guogang, who had been curious just moments ago, suddenly began trembling violently beyond his control.

Even his voice rose several notches.

"What did you just say? Who did your cousin offend?"

"Someone named Lin Chen..."

Zhang Bin was confused. Even he could not understand why Tang Guogang had reacted so strongly upon hearing that name. Could they know each other?

At the same time, he thought, If he knows Boss Tang, then this person definitely can't be touched.

Crash—

As Zhang Bin was thinking, the sound of something shattering rang out beside him.

Everyone instinctively turned toward it. When they saw that the broken object was the teapot, they were all stunned.

That teapot was Tang Guogang's prized possession—the Imperial Treasure Teapot of the Tang Dynasty Emperor that he had acquired at auction for an enormous price.

No matter how busy he was, he would come back to look at it, then use the national treasure teapot to brew himself a cup of tea and savor the leisure of an ancient emperor.

Yet today, upon hearing Lin Chen's name, he had smashed it to pieces. No one could understand why.

Lin Chen? Who was this man, exactly? How could he make Boss Tang so furious?

Everyone was pondering that question, especially Zhang Bin, who stood trembling nearby.

"Boss Tang, could this Mr. Lin... possibly be..."

Tang Guogang had never told anyone about Lin Chen's identity. In ordinary times, he only referred to him as Mr. Lin.

But that did not stop Zhang Bin from making the connection. Seeing Tang Guogang react so strongly to that name, he immediately linked Mr. Lin with Lin Chen.

"Yes. He's the Mr. Lin I told you about. Lin Chen is Mr. Lin."

Tang Guogang truly felt as though he hated iron for not becoming steel. He had guarded against offending Lin Chen at every turn, warning both himself and those around him.

Yet he had never imagined that an outsider would end up offending him.

After receiving Tang Guogang's confirmation, Zhang Bin's face turned deathly pale in an instant, paler even than a corpse that had been dead for months.

Boss Tang had long issued an absolute ban regarding Mr. Lin: no matter who it was or where they were, no one could offend him in the slightest.

After all, this was the man who had acquired a full ninety percent of Zhonghai First Hospital's shares.

Even Boss Tang, who wielded unquestioned power in Zhonghai, had managed to obtain only twelve percent of the hospital's shares.

There was no other reason—the network of connections involved was simply too vast. Even obtaining one more percent of the shares was extraordinarily difficult.

Even so, Boss Tang was already among the top three shareholders.

And now, this man called Mr. Lin had overcome every obstacle and directly acquired ninety percent of the entire hospital's shares.

One could imagine just how terrifying the power behind him was.

Anyone with even the slightest bit of sense would never choose to oppose someone with such a mysterious and terrifying background.

At that thought, Zhang Bin's entire body began trembling uncontrollably.

He was truly afraid. Such a towering figure, someone even his own boss feared to death, had been offended by his cousin.

If Lin Chen—Mr. Lin—found out that he was Xia Tiejun's cousin, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Zhang Bin, Zhang Bin, are you fucking trying to get me killed?"

Tang Guogang truly felt like crying. Just yesterday, his wife had offended Mr. Lin, and he had planned to find a time to personally visit and apologize.

But who could have expected that someone would offend him again today? Although it had nothing directly to do with him, the offender was still his subordinate's cousin.

With both old and new grudges added together, if Mr. Lin truly pursued the matter, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"If you don't resolve this perfectly today, I'll have your whole family buried with you!"

After saying that, Tang Guogang no longer dared linger. He immediately led the group toward Shilin Guomao Group to apologize to Lin Chen.

"That damned Xia Tiejun. Who the fuck could you not offend? Why did it have to be Mr. Lin?"

"From this moment on, I don't have a cousin like you."

Zhang Bin cursed inwardly, then stopped wasting time and strode after them.
