"Yesterday! Let's just talk about yesterday! Our stock market had finally crept into the green, but then you had to go and provoke someone again. The result? Our stocks plummeted! Just tell me, what on earth did you do yesterday?"

The entire family deliberated over and over again!

Finally, everyone was certain that the reason their company's stock had fallen so drastically was Chen Zheng! The name Chen Zheng suddenly filled them with a sense of dread.

To casually cause a Fortune 500 company's stock value to shrink by tens of billions? What kind of person was this? Everyone present felt a profound sense of terror.

At that moment, Qi Lei finally understood. And then he felt like a complete idiot.

His vision went black, and he sank into a stupor. He had never taken Chen Zheng seriously!

But that kid actually possessed such immense power. How was he supposed to accept that? If that person was even slightly displeased, he could destroy their family with ease. And he had provoked a man like that for three days straight?

60 billion! A staggering loss of 60 billion... the price was simply terrifying.

"I... I..." Qi Lei was at a loss for words.

"You little bastard! How are you going to account for this? You've brought this catastrophe upon the company, so tell me, what are you going to do? I'll beat you to death today just to vent my rage!"

Qi Zhenyun felt like he was losing his mind. He reached for a nearby chair again.

CRACK!

The chair smashed against Qi Lei's head. He crumpled to the ground, all strength leaving him. The chair itself shattered from the force of the blow!

This time, Qi Zhenyun had struck for real, showing no mercy whatsoever.

"Brother, don't be rash! There's still a chance to fix this! There has to be!" Qi Zhenqiang quickly intervened to stop his older brother! He realized that if this continued, Qi Lei would undoubtedly be beaten to death.

Qi Lei really had nothing to say. This was a colossal disaster; he had offended someone he absolutely should not have.

His father was actually hitting him! Not just hitting him—it looked like he wasn't going to stop until he was dead.

Qi Zhenyun was held back, unable to move, but his eyes were filled with despair.

"How can we possibly salvage this? Sixty billion! A full sixty billion! How can we recover such a loss?"

The old man seemed to age ten years in an instant. The look in his eyes was one of utter bewilderment, as if all the strength had been drained from his body.

"Sir, please don't be angry! We can't recover a loss of 60 billion. What we need to do now is prevent any further losses."

Those words instantly snapped Qi Zhenyun back to his senses.

"Dad! Uh... before I left, I did one more thing. I ordered Wei Tianqiang and Wei Tianqi to bring her here within three days, no matter what. Dad, I'll call them right now and tell them to drop it!"

Having regained his senses, Qi Lei cast aside all his previous plans. His only thought now was to mitigate the damage.

However, when he tried to call, no one answered. Qi Lei felt like he was going insane. He made more than a dozen calls, but none of them were picked up.

"What do we do now?" Qi Lei felt desperate, suddenly finding himself drained of all strength.

"What are you standing there stunned for? Get the plane ready! Take this bastard and let's go to Yunzhou immediately! We have to apologize sincerely and beg them to spare us!" Qi Zhenqiang was the one to react.

At this point, they couldn't afford to waste time and had to begin preparations at once.

Qi Zhenyun also pushed all other thoughts aside and immediately began to ready the helicopter.

"Let's head to Yunzhou first, solve the issue, and then deal with this bastard when we get back…"

The entire Qi Family was thrown into chaos. About half an hour later, a private plane took off, heading towards Yunzhou.

「Meanwhile」

At that very moment, Wei Tianqiang had already arrived at Chen Zheng's house with a group of people.

"Master, the guests have arrived!" the robot butler reported loyally.

Chen Zheng also saw a large group of people appearing at his doorstep on the monitor. Wei Zixuan immediately stood up in fright, looking at the TV screen with eyes full of disbelief.

"What's happening?"

On the screen were Wei Tianqiang and Wei Tianqi, along with several young men and women. The youths were holding a funeral portrait.

"Wei Tianqiang!" Upon seeing this, Wei Zixuan flew into a rage, her eyes practically spitting fire.

Chen Zheng glanced at the portrait. It was of an elderly man with a very kind face.

Wei Zixuan, on the verge of madness, stormed out the front door. Chen Zheng hurriedly followed her.

They quickly reached the villa's entrance. Wei Zixuan was now incandescent with rage.

"Wei Tianqiang, have you lost your mind?" Wei Zixuan glared fiercely at her own father.

Chen Zheng's expression was equally icy. Wei Tianqiang and his group had thoroughly enraged him.

"You're right, Wei Zixuan, I am going mad! Don't you understand? Because of you, our entire Xingsheng Group is on the verge of collapse!" Wei Tianqiang said through clenched teeth. "The whole company is going under, and our entire family will be ruined along with it! Countless employees will lose their jobs! And it's all because of you! Can you live with that?"

"Stop this foolishness and come home with us," a middle-aged woman next to Wei Tianqi said, adopting a kind tone.

"Zixuan, I know this is unfair to you," one of the younger relatives pleaded, "but can't you make a small sacrifice for the sake of the Xingsheng Group?"

The other young people in the family also chimed in, trying to persuade her.

Wei Zixuan's face was grim. "You... Wei Tianqiang, wasn't it all of you who forced this situation? Since when does our company's development require sacrificing a person's life in exchange?"

Her heart ached with anger and sorrow, and tears streamed down her face. She was truly heartbroken; all hope was lost.

Chen Zheng gently embraced Wei Zixuan, comforting her softly. At the same time, the look in his eyes grew dangerously sharp.

"Wei Tianqiang, you're pathetic," Chen Zheng's voice was stern. "Are you still hoping to trade your own daughter for wealth and glory? And now you've dragged all these people here to guilt-trip her? Are you even human?"

In that moment, everyone around felt an immense pressure. Wei Tianqiang felt so suffocated he could hardly breathe.

But for the sake of his family, he forced himself to stand his ground. "This is our family's business! I won't hold it against you for taking my daughter by force yesterday. But today, no matter what, Wei Zixuan must come home!"

"Heh," Chen Zheng's tone was ice-cold. "Is that so? I'd like to see who dares."
