Chapter 407 - Shocking News!

“No!”

Lee Zhanmu sprang up like a startled rabbit.

He had no intention of staying. After suffering a heavy blow here, he was ready to leave the imperial court and head back to his home country.

Su Ming, smiling, said, “Don't leave just yet. You've only just arrived, and you haven't even had a meal.”

“I'm not eating. I'm not hungry!”

Lee Zhanmu declared, eager to leave without wasting another second. He turned on his heel and strode toward the door.

But as he reached the entrance, he noticed several black sedans pulling up.

The doors swung open, and a few individuals stepped out. Upstodatee from n(0)/ve/lbIn/.(co/m

Lee Zhanmu froze.

Several middle-aged men emerged from the cars, dressed in sharp suits and ties, looking very polished. Their faces were flushed with health, and they carried themselves with confidence.

They were none other than President Chen, Wang Guohui, and Boss Fong.

There was no need to introduce President Chen and Wang Guohui; they had long been acquainted.

Boss Fong had borrowed money from President Chen for a previous construction project, so naturally, they knew each other as well.

They had all watched today's live broadcast and, after a brief exchange, were aware of the situation.

Seeing these men, Lee Zhanmu's anger flared.

“President Chen, we were having a good talk. Why won't you extend me the loan?”

“Boss Fong, I asked for just two more days to repay you. It's not like I'm refusing to pay.”

“Boss Wang, we're old friends. You've shown me great disrespect.”

Lee Zhanmu stood with his hands on his hips, his posture broadcasting his fury and discontent.

The three men gave him a cool glance and greeted him with detached civility.

Lee Zhanmu then realized something. Today was the birthday of the Xiao family's patriarch, and all of Eastsea's notables were in attendance. As prominent figures in Eastsea, they were expected to be there, but why had they only just arrived?

The answer was simple: Su Ming had not yet arrived.

They all knew Su Ming would certainly attend, given his well-known connection to the Xiao family.

Thus, they had decided to wait for Mr. Su to make his appearance before they themselves would arrive.

Now that Su Ming had arrived, they had come together.

While Lee Zhanmu was lost in thought, the three men made their way to Su Ming in perfect sync.

“Mr. Su, as per your instructions, I've canceled Lee Zhanmu's loan.”

Lee Zhanmu was in a state of panic and blurted out, “No, Mom, don't we have that bank card at home with a lot of money on it?”

“Quit fixating on that bank card; it's where your father and I have saved our retirement funds! And to be honest with you, you're not our biological child. We adopted you from the imperial court.”

“We knew the company was going under before you left for the imperial court. The reason we sent you away was to get you out of the picture.”

With that, the voice on the other end of the line went dead.

Lee Zhanmu was utterly stunned.

When he tried calling his mother back, her phone was already switched off.

The room fell into an eerie silence.

What a spectacle this was.

Their visit today had certainly not been a waste.

Lee Zhanmu felt an overwhelming urge to cry. He had intended to boast about his father's wealth, only to discover his father's company was bankrupt and he was left without a family.

Poor Lee Zhanmu.

Had he known this would happen, he would never have come here.

Even if his family was bankrupt, if he had managed to secure a loan and start a company, he could have at least pursued a career here and harbored hopes of earning money.

But now, it was all over.

It took a while for Lee Zhanmu to snap out of his daze.

Seeing the looks on the faces of those around him, he couldn't bear it any longer.

He turned on his heel and walked out.

“Wait a minute!”

Su Ming suddenly burst into laughter. “I feel for you, I really do. Here, take this bracelet back with you.”

No sooner had Su Ming spoken than a shadow darted by. The bracelet vanished from Su Ming's hand, swiftly snatched by Lee Zhanmu.

Lee Zhanmu was quick on his feet.

He had purchased the bracelet for five million yuan, thinking he could sell it for three to four million yuan.

With that money, he wouldn't have to worry about going hungry.

However, when Lee Zhanmu went to sell the bracelet, full of hope, he was informed it was a counterfeit, not even worth three to four hundred yuan.

Lee Zhanmu saw red, rage boiling over to the point of making him physically ill.

From that day on, the world had one more heartbroken soul.
