Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The bodyguard had only taken a few steps when he was pushed to the ground by Chang Ling. He was controlled and brought back to the warehouse like he was carrying a chick. However, this time, Chang Ling did not tie him to the chair. He knew that the bodyguard would definitely think of all ways to escape, so he tied him to the pillar.

With both his hands shot, it was impossible for him to untie the rope and escape. After preparing everything, Chang Ling revealed a smug smile. “Just wait here in peace and see if your loyal Deputy Governor Lang will take the risk to save you.”

Chang Ling took out the phone that he had used to establish contact with Lang Nan. As the records had long been deleted by the bodyguard, Chang Ling could not obtain any clues. However, his fingers were still jumping quickly on the screen as he sent a few words. “Boss, I’ve succeeded here. None of the people in the warehouse came out alive.”

Without waiting for Lang Nan to reply, Chang Ling turned off his phone and threw it on the ground in the distance.

In order to prevent the bodyguard from shouting, Chang Ling specially found a piece of cloth and stuffed it into his mouth. Then, he closed the door of the warehouse.

“Send me back quickly. According to what he said just now, the situation in the Federation venue shouldn’t be too good.”

As soon as he got into the car, Chang Ling received Shan Yue’s instructions. “You’re in charge of sending Shan Chen back later and then return to the venue to look for me. I won’t allow Lang Nan to live to see the sun tomorrow.” “Understood, President Shan. I know what to do.” At the same time, the sound of an engine sounded. The car flew out like lightning and headed straight for the Federation venue.

After the situation stabilized, Shan Yue took out her cell phone and sent a message to Zhou Xuan just in case.

“Zhou Xuan, I’m done here. I’m on the way back now. I should need a few more minutes. How’s the situation over there? Can you hold on?”

At this moment, Zhou Xuan was in a verbal battle with others. Because Shan Yue was not present, this side was at a disadvantage in terms of momentum and numbers.

All of this was because of Lang Nan’s request to confront Shan Yue. Zhou Xuan could not give a positive response and could only use the excuse that Shan Yue was busy and could not return for the time being.

At first, there was no problem with this, but the developer of the antidote was not a small matter after all. As this matter fermented, people’s hearts were gradually occupied by a problem.

That was: Where did Shan Yue go? Why wasn’t she present at the press conference, let alone dare to come out and confront Lang Nan in person?

Just as the competition was at its most intense, the sudden vibration eased Zhou Xuan’s agitated emotions.

He glanced at the sender of the message on his phone. The name Shan Yue immediately made him transfer backstage.

“Don’t worry, Shan Yue. Just as you said to me before you left, that traitor Luo Xin suddenly betrayed us, causing the situation at the event location to change. However, 1 will buy you enough time.”

Zhou Xuan told her the entire situation. “Because you weren’t present, most of the people present are already on Lang Nan’s side. But it doesn’t matter. President Yu and I aren’t to be trifled with. It won’t be a problem to hold on for a while longer.”

“It’s been hard on you. A few minutes will be enough. When 1 go back, Lang Nan’s good days will be over.” Shan Yue heaved a sigh of relief. She had already made sufficient preparations for a verbal battle when she returned.

The news of Shan Yue’s return was like a stabilizing force that pierced straight into Zhou Xuan’s heart, giving him great confidence.

However, the real situation was always unsatisfactory. When good news came, bad news would always come.

As soon as Zhou Xuan ended his contact with Shan Yue, a new situation appeared at the event location.

“President Zhou, something bad has happened. Hurry up and go out to take a look. Just as you were leaving, the people outside thought that you were going to leave this place like President Shan. Coupled with Lang Nan’s words, everyone became agitated..”
