Jiang Group.
In the chairman's office, Jiang Kun looked at the young man in front of him with trepidation. The young man sat on the sofa with a gloomy expression, while Jiang Kun, the head of the Jiang Group, stood cautiously to the side like a servant, not daring to move an inch.
His forehead was covered in cold sweat from the chilling murderous intent that the boy inadvertently revealed.
"Mr. Jiang, give us an explanation."
Gu Chen placed a token on the table with a crisp "snap," making Jiang Kun's heart skip a beat.
"What explanation?" Jiang Kun forced a smile.
Gu Chen's voice was like a glacier that had never blossomed in ten thousand years, even colder and more ruthless than when he came to the Jiang Group to cause trouble last time.
"Don't tell me you don't know this!" Gu Chen bowed slightly, his eyes like those of a venomous snake in the jungle, staring at him with a sinister aura.
"I really don't understand," Jiang Kun said, his voice trembling with fear. "I already told Young Master Gu about the assassination attempt on you last time, and this token belongs to the silver Beacon Fire Token. The assassin I hired last time was only a bronze-level one."
"What a coincidence?" Gu Chen said coldly, "My father was taken away last night, and I just happened to be away at that time. And are you sure this has nothing to do with you?"
A murderous aura surged towards Jiang Kun like a tidal wave. Jiang Kun felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, his body trembling violently. With a mournful face, he said, "Young Master Gu, I really didn't know! Besides, the contact information for the Wuji Manor was given to me by the Zhou Family! Furthermore, the Jiang Group is now in your hands. Even if you gave me ten lives, I wouldn't dare to go against Gu Beichi!"
"The Zhou Family?"
A thought flashed through Gu Chen's mind, and his face instantly darkened!
Yes!
Because of the Wuji Manor, his first thought was of the Jiang Family, but he overlooked the Zhou Family!
The Zhou Family has long regarded him and his father as thorns in their side. Whether it was at Zhou Xue'er's birthday banquet or how he treated Zhou Xue'er yesterday, the Zhou Family has countless reasons to take action!
In fact, they had wanted to take action for a long time, but they were using Jiang Kun as a pretext. However, Jiang Kun had just been turned against them!
"Damn Zhou Nanfeng!" Gu Chen thought to himself, and suddenly stood up, slamming his fist on the coffee table in front of him!
Bang!
The marble coffee table shattered into pieces in an instant!
As he said this, Gu Chen's killing intent, along with his astonishing aura, erupted simultaneously. Jiang Kun, who was very close to him, was so shocked that his legs trembled and he stumbled backward, landing hard on his backside!
He stared at Gu Chen in horror. Under such an aura, he felt like a drowning man, struggling to breathe and trembling! It was clear how powerful Gu Chen's aura was!
However, this momentum, though it erupted quickly, also dissipated just as fast. Gu Chen quickly regained his composure, then turned to look at Jiang Kun on the ground and said, "Call Zhou Nanfeng."
"This..."
Jiang Kun hesitated for a moment, but noticing Gu Chen's glare, he immediately stopped talking, took out his phone, found the number, and dialed it.
"The call went through." A few seconds later, Jiang Kun respectfully handed the phone to Gu Chen.
Zhou Nanfeng.
Gu Chen took the phone, his voice icy, and said, enunciating each word clearly, "Where is my father?"
"Are you Gu Chen?" Zhou Nanfeng paused for a moment, then said with a cold laugh, "Why are you calling me using Jiang Kun's phone? It seems the rumors were true; the Jiang Family has really sided with you."
"Answer me!" Gu Chen said coldly.
"That Jiang Kun is really good at changing his tune, but he's also brainless. He doesn't want our Zhou Family as a powerful backer, but instead chooses someone else. And of all people to choose, he chose you, the utterly useless Gu Chen! Hahahaha, you're the biggest joke in Zhou City!" Zhou Nanfeng laughed loudly, then said coldly, "Gu Chen, I haven't bothered you lately, you're lucky. But since you dared to call me today, I'm not afraid to tell you, you won't live much longer!"
When Gu Chen made the call, the speakerphone was on. Jiang Kun, who was standing next to him, heard Zhou Nanfeng's arrogant words and felt a chill run down his spine.
"Zhou Nanfeng, I don't have time to waste words with you." Gu Chen said coldly, "If anything happens to my father, I will wipe out your entire family!"
Perhaps Gu Chen's words were too deadly, for Zhou Nanfeng on the other end of the phone paused for a moment, and after more than ten seconds, his voice came through again, "Gu Chen, don't talk big. I might as well tell you, I did hire Wuji Manor to deal with you, but this time I don't need to pay anything. Wuji Manor is going to kill you for free, and they even sent silver-level assassins. Do you know why? Because you killed their men! Those two bronze-level assassins died at your hands. Given Wuji Manor's relentless nature, you're now completely on their blacklist!"
"Really?" Gu Chen said without any fear, "Then they could have come after me. Unfortunately, they didn't. Instead, they went to my dad. Do you think I would have believed this without your involvement?"
Zhou Nanfeng probably hadn't expected Gu Chen's analysis to be so rational. After another pause, he said, "Gu Chen, you should worry about yourself first. You're still thinking about your father; you won't even know how you died!"
After saying that, Zhou Nanfeng hung up the phone!
"Young Master Gu."
Seeing Gu Chen standing in front of the sofa, holding his phone and remaining silent, Jiang Kun was terrified. After a few minutes, he finally spoke.
Gu Chen gave him a cold look, then tossed his phone to him and walked out of the office.
"Where is Young Master Gu going?" Jiang Kun asked.
"What do you think?" Gu Chen turned around, his eyes like a huge black hole, swirling with bloodthirsty killing intent!
At that moment, Jiang Kun shivered and dared not ask any more questions!
He knew where Gu Chen was going: the Zhou Family!
"Notify Zhao Bo to go to the Zhou Family immediately, along with Zhu Jun and Jiang Qi."
Gu Chen got into the car and, before Ma Gang could ask, spoke in a low voice.
"Yes!" Noticing Gu Chen's expression, Ma Gang didn't dare to ask any more questions, nodded, and took out his phone to make a call.
After making the call, he started his car and headed towards the Zhou Family.
Gu Chen is furious!
He had originally planned to take action against the Zhou Family a few days later, but now he had to change his mind!
With my father in the Zhou Family's hands, every minute we wait is an increase in danger!
If anything happens to Gu Beichi today, he will surely massacre the Zhou Family!
Not long after leaving Jiang Group, Ma Gang suddenly slammed on the brakes. Gu Chen, still deep in thought, jolted and frowned, asking, "What's going on?"
Ma Gang said, "Young Master Gu, look ahead, there's someone standing there. Please wait a moment."
Sure enough, there was a man standing about ten meters ahead. The road wasn't very wide, and the man, dressed in a black leather jacket, stood in the middle of the road, preventing Ma Gang's car from passing.
"Go away, are you blind?" Ma Gang, a former underground boxer with a ruthless, gangster-like air, rolled down the car window and yelled, "What are you doing blocking the road? Looking for death?!"
The man had a very cold demeanor. Holding up a photograph, he said calmly to Ma Gang, "Is this person in your car?"
He glanced at the photo—it was Gu Chen's photo! Ma Gang was taken aback and asked, "What do you want?"
