"Stop right there!"

Zhang Tianhe suddenly snorted coldly and said, "Even if your uncle kills him, it's not going to end like this! You can't keep a lid on it forever! The Qin Family will eventually find out it was us who did it. Do you think Miss Qin will let it slide? He is Qin Ruomeng's fiancé! Messing with him is declaring war against the entire Qin Group! With our Tianhe Group's capabilities, it's like an egg hitting a stone!"

Hearing this, Zhang Liancheng was shaking with anger, his face going red and white as he glared, humiliated and furious, at Zhang Tianhe, saying, "Dad, are you really going to swallow your pride for this? Do you really plan to kneel and apologize publicly at the charity ball?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Tianhe's expression darkened instantly. The path of Tianhe Group had been too arduous; every step was taken with caution and trepidation. If it weren't for Zhang Tianhe's ability to navigate through tricky situations, Tianhe Group might have already sunk in the business world.

At this moment, Zhang Tianhe sighed deeply, turned slowly to the large floor-to-ceiling window in his office, and looked at the bustling city outside with eyes deep as ink. Unless absolutely necessary, Zhang Tianhe really didn't want to touch Ye Tianfan. He knew that once they made a move against Ye Tianfan, it would be akin to playing with fire—fire that could burn others as well as themselves!

But this time, Ye Tianfan had gone too far! Zhang Tianhe found himself in a dilemma, kneeling to apologize was absolutely out of the question! He pondered for over ten minutes before speaking in a deep voice, "I will first go to the Qin Group to negotiate with Qin Ruomeng, we are all businesspeople, harmony begets wealth, and everything should be cherished in harmony. Unless absolutely necessary, do not touch Ye Tianfan."

Zhang Liancheng, eyes red with anger, said, "What if Qin Ruomeng doesn't give our Zhang Family this face?"

At this moment, Zhang Tianhe looked out the window, his pupils suddenly contracting sharply, eyes flashing with cold light, saying nothing, but his face was already full of ruthless determination. When a rabbit is pushed to the limit, it can still bite, not to mention Zhang Tianhe. Having led Tianhe Group from an unknown small business to become one of the top ten enterprises in Jiangzhou City, Zhang Tianhe's capabilities were undeniably acknowledged. Moreover, he had the support of the Xie Family from Jiangnan, known for the Shadowless Palm.

Although Zhang Tianhe's elder brother-in-law, Xie Lingshuang, disliked being involved in business disputes, if Tianhe Group were truly on the verge of life and death, Xie Lingshuang would not stand by and watch his brother-in-law fail. He would step in when absolutely necessary!

At this point, Zhang Tianhe turned to Zhang Liancheng, speaking in a deep voice, "I'm going to the Qin Group with your uncle! You stay at the company and don't go anywhere!"

After leaving the group company, Zhang Tianhe headed straight for the Qin Group Building. Meanwhile, Qin Ruomeng had just returned to her company from the luxury goods trading building, and her face was extremely grim. A thick stack of documents in front of her caused her brows to knit tightly together, her face filled with distress.

The Qin Group's intelligence department hadn't been this busy in three years. In just one morning, hundreds of reports had already been delivered to Qin Ruomeng's desk.

More than half of the forces and corporate groups in China had arrived in Jiangzhou City on the same day! This instinctively led Qin Ruomeng to think of the charity ball hosted by Mr. Fang. Could it be that all these people were here for the charity ball?

A sense of unease flickered across Qin Ruomeng's heart, and an intense sense of crisis almost overwhelmed her in an instant. Was Fang Zaitian really that influential? He was merely a tycoon in Hong Kong; if it were in Hong Kong, his word would indeed carry weight, but now that he was in the mainland, could he still hold such sway?

Unable to suppress the anxiety in her heart, Qin Ruomeng fished out her phone, about to report the matter to Elder Qin, when suddenly the door to her office was pushed open, and in walked Zhang Tianhe, his face a mask of frost, followed by a tall slender man.

Seeing this, Qin Ruomeng's brows furrowed, instantly recognizing the identity of the tall man. The Qin Family's intelligence department had already placed photos and documents on her desk, among which was this tall man—the patriarch of the Xie Family, known for the Shadowless Palm, Xie Lingshuang!

"What brings President Zhang here today? Please come in, have a seat," said Qin Ruomeng, signaling for her secretary to pour tea.

Qin Ruomeng wasn't surprised by Zhang Tianhe's sudden visit, but the presence of Xie Lingshuang caught her off guard. She knew Zhang Tianhe's wife was a Xie, but didn't realize she was from the Xie Family of Jiangnan, known for the Shadowless Palm!

"Miss Qin, you must already know why I'm here this time!" Zhang Tianhe entered the office with a face of frost, sitting unreservedly on the sofa opposite Qin Ruomeng, and said coldly, "Business is all about harmony and making money. Our Tianhe Group has never had any dealings with or conflicts with the Qin Group. But just this morning! Your fiancé, Ye Tianfan..."

Before Zhang Tianhe could finish, a hint of displeasure had already crept onto Qin Ruomeng's face. She rose from behind her desk and, with an icy and proud demeanor, fixed Zhang Tianhe with a stare, saying, "So, is President Zhang here to demand an explanation?" She glanced at Xie Lingshuang as she spoke.

With a frown, Zhang Tianhe remembered the rumor that the eldest Miss of the Qin Group was an ice-cold beauty, arrogant and haughty. He had expected that coming with Xie Lingshuang, Qin Ruomeng might have shown some respect, yet he hadn't imagined her attitude to be so unyielding! He hadn't even finished his sentence, and she was already somewhat impatient.

"I wouldn't say demanding an explanation. Your Qin Group is the leading enterprise in Jiangzhou City; we wouldn't dare to provoke you, nor do we want to. But the words your fiancé Ye Tianfan said this morning were simply over the line!"

Qin Ruomeng's lips curled into a cold smile as she looked at Zhang Tianhe, saying, "And what do you want?"

"I want Ye Tianfan to kneel and apologize!"

Before Zhang Tianhe could speak, Xie Lingshuang couldn't hold back anymore, and a fierce aura burst out from him. His nephew kneeling in public was something Xie Lingshuang couldn't stomach! If not for Zhang Tianhe's company, Xie Lingshuang might have made a move a long time ago!

Seeing this, Zhang Tianhe felt an abrupt chill in his heart. Originally, he brought Xie Lingshuang along to put pressure on Qin Ruomeng, preparing to push and pull with her, with the best result being reconciliation, with both parties taking a step back. But unexpectedly, Qin Ruomeng's stance was so unyielding, and Xie Lingshuang's opening statement was this direct, leaving no doubt that Zhang Tianhe and the Qin Group were now completely at odds.

At this moment, Qin Ruomeng raised an eyebrow slightly, glanced at Xie Lingshuang, and let out a cold laugh, saying, "Are you threatening me?"

"And if I am?" Xie Lingshuang's eyes were already lit with a hint of anger.

Qin Ruomeng chuckled softly, saying, "Xie Lingshuang, you want me, Qin Ruomeng's man, to kneel and apologize? Do you have the capability for that?"

"Hmph!" Xie Lingshuang snorted coldly. There was a crisp 'crack', and Qin Ruomeng's desk shattered abruptly, scattering the documents on it to the floor.

Xie Lingshuang had mastered the Shadowless Palm to an exceptional level; nobody saw how he made a move—it just felt like a force of Qi whirled through the office, lingering long and making the temperature in the office drop significantly.

Filled with a sharp light, Xie Lingshuang's eyes fixed on Qin Ruomeng, saying coldly, "This is capability! Since Ye Tianfan is not here, you are his fiancée, you should first kneel and apologize before we talk further!"
