Supreme Hidden Dragon in the City-Chapter 367: Just Wait and See

Soon, a deep voice came from the other end of the line, "Hello, may I ask who this is?"

Chen Fan answered, "Hello, I am Chen Fan."

The voice on the other end immediately became exceedingly respectful, "Mr. Chen, hello, I am the current person in charge of Zhong’s Investment, my name is Liu Xingtong, you can just call me Xiao Liu. Is there anything you would like to instruct, Mr. Chen?"

Chen Fan asked, "Old Mr. Zhong transferred his shares to me, does that mean that what I say now goes for Zhong’s Investment?"

Liu Xingtong quickly said, "Yes, Mr. Chen."

Chen Fan said, "Good, help me look into all the office buildings that Tianyuan Commerce Chamber is currently leasing from our company. After you have tallied it up, send a notice to Tianyuan Commerce Chamber saying that if they wish to renew their lease, they will need to pay triple the rent."

"Also, check on the office buildings that Guangping Group is leasing from our company and send them a notice too, saying that the rent for renewal... will be tenfold!"

Liu Xingtong was inwardly puzzled, not understanding why Chen Fan was doing this, but he did not dare to ask too much and hurriedly said, "Alright, I will go arrange it immediately."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Fan turned to look at the towering skyscraper behind him and couldn’t help revealing a slight smile at the corner of his mouth.

"Since you Tianyuan Commerce Chamber do not wish to deal with the Mu Family’s affairs, then don’t expect to get off easily either."

He did not linger any longer and took a taxi back to Mu Mansion.

As soon as he entered the gates of Mu Mansion, Chen Fan saw that a group of the Mu Family’s senior executives had once again gathered together.

Su Qingyan was also present, and from her aura, she had successfully broken through to the fourth level of Qi Cultivation.

When everyone saw Chen Fan return, they immediately focused their attention on him.

Su Qingyan stepped forward and asked, "Did you go to Tianyuan Commerce Chamber to resolve the matter with the Mu Family project? How did it go?"

Mu Tianxiong, Mu Qingsong, and the other members of the Mu Family all stared at Chen Fan intently, eager to know the outcome of his handling of the situation.

Just as Chen Fan was about to speak, a sneering laugh came over, "The result is obviously that he was rejected by Chairman Liu of Tianyuan Commerce Chamber, and he was even chased out!"

On hearing the voice, everyone turned their heads to look and realized that it was Mu Guangping who had come.

Mu Tianxiong looked at Mu Guangping with a cold face, "You still have the nerve to step into Mu Mansion. Get out now, I don’t want to see you again!"

Mu Guangping said with a smile, "Dad, despite your harsh decision to drive me out of the Mu Family, I am still your son. No matter how ruthless you are, you can’t refuse to let me return home, right?"

Mu Tianxiong said coldly, "I don’t have a son like you!"

Mu Qingsong stepped forward and said to Chen Fan, "Chen Fan, you should first talk about the result of your visit to Tianyuan Commerce Chamber. Everyone is waiting."

Mu Guangping laughed and said, "You all don’t think that what I just said was a joke, do you? I was there at Tianyuan Commerce Chamber today, and I personally saw him being chased out by Chairman Liu."

The faces of the Mu Family members immediately became incredibly unsightly.

Mu Qingsong frowned and asked Chen Fan, "Is what he’s saying true?"

Chen Fan nodded, "Tianyuan Commerce Chamber indeed rejected me, but... "

Before he could finish his sentence, the people of the Mu Family had already started complaining.

"I knew this kid wasn’t reliable, he has no background whatsoever, why would Tianyuan Commerce Chamber listen to him?"

"This guy made such confident promises yesterday, but he can’t solve the problem at all. I must’ve been out of my mind to actually expect him to solve it."

"It’s all over; we’re thoroughly finished. The Mu Family’s power has declined, and we are all going to be left in the cold!"

...

Mu Guangping, seeing the Mu Family members in such a state, had a face full of smugness. Recalling his own disgraceful expulsion from the Mu Family, he felt immensely satisfied.

He turned to Mu Tianxiong and asked with a smile, "Dad, do you now regret kicking me out of the Mu Family?"

Mu Tianxiong’s expression was rather dark as he looked at Mu Guangping and said, "Even after it was confirmed that you were to be the next family head of the Mu Family, you still engaged in activities that undermined the Mu Family in secret. Just for that reason alone, I will never regret having kicked you out of the Mu Family."

"No matter how well or poorly you do, you will always be a disgrace to the Mu Family!"

Mu Guangping’s face immediately darkened, and he said through gritted teeth, "All I did was to secure some benefits for myself. You are strong and in good health; who knows how many more years you will occupy the position of family head? Is it wrong for me to think about my own interests?"

"You say I am a disgrace to the Mu Family, right? Well, I want to see who they will point to as the sinner of the Mu Family once it falls!"

After speaking, he turned to the crowd of the Mu Family and declared loudly, "I have another purpose in coming here today. You all understand the current situation of the Mu Family. Once the Mu Family falls, you will no longer have the chance to live the affluent and luxurious life you once did. But now, I am offering you an opportunity."

"Anyone who doesn’t want to be left to fend for themselves in the future, come with me now. I assure you that under my leadership, you will continue to enjoy the same, or an even higher, standard of living as you did in the Mu Family. Eventually, we will form a new Mu Family, and as the family head, I will lead you to create an even more brilliant and splendid Mu Family!"

"Whoever is willing to come with me, step forward now. There is only this one opportunity. I hope you can see the situation clearly and make the right choice."

The members of the Mu Family started to discuss among themselves, many with looks of temptation on their faces, upon hearing Mu Guangping’s proposition.

Mu Tianxiong had not expected Mu Guangping to employ such a method against the Mu Family, and his breathing hastened in anger. With a steely look, he said to Mu Guangping through clenched teeth, "You beast, what right do you have to establish a new Mu Family!"

Mu Guangping coldly retorted, "It’s not for you to decide whether I am qualified or not, but for them."

Chen Fan had not anticipated Mu Guangping’s move either. However, he was not in a rush to persuade the Mu Family members. This was a good chance to filter out the loyal from the disloyal within the Mu Family. Since it was so, he might as well take advantage of Mu Guangping and weed out the unfaithful.

The Mu Family members whispered in huddles, deep in discussion.

Eventually, a high-ranking member of the Mu Family stepped forward and made his way to Mu Guangping’s side, declaring, "I’ll go with you!"

Seeing someone taking the lead, those who were already tempted stopped hesitating and followed suit, moving towards Mu Guangping.

In just a short while, nearly half of the Mu Family’s people had moved to Mu Guangping’s side.

Although there were many among the remaining half who wanted to follow, they ultimately held back out of sentiment for the Mu Family.

Chen Fan scanned the crowd and noticed Mu Qingsong standing erect in his original spot, showing no intention to follow the defectors, which immediately made him regard Mu Qingsong more highly.

"I didn’t expect him to be so loyal to the Mu Family; I thought he would be the first to cross over," he mused.

Mu Tianxiong, witnessing the members of the Mu Family crossing over, deeply felt the chill of betrayal. Taking a deep breath, he said, "If you want to take his benefits, I have no power to interfere. However, since you have made your choice, from this day forth, you and the Mu Family will have nothing to do with each other!"

At that moment, Chen Fan stepped forward and declared, "Old Mr. Mu, rest assured, they will regret their decision. Even if the Tianyuan Commerce Chamber rejects my request, I will still find a way to help the Mu Family out of this predicament."

The defectors who had gone to Mu Guangping’s side burst into loud laughter, their laughter filled with mockery.

The half that remained with the Mu Family all wore dumbfounded expressions, clearly not believing Chen Fan’s words.

Mu Guangping let out a sneer, "Chen Fan, the matter has already been concluded. Even if you have great abilities, it’s too late to turn the tide now. Stop making laughable claims here."

Chen Fan, unconcerned with their attitudes, simply smiled faintly and said, "We shall wait and see."
