At ten in the morning, in the old mansion of the Zhou Family of Jiangbei Province, many Wealthy Classes from the North were gathered.
The expressions on the faces of the crowd were ugly to the extreme. Even if their parents were dead, they wouldn't be able to do anything about it.
Even Zhou Peisheng was seen to the extreme by the man.
Currently, all of the aristocratic families in Jiangbei were all gathered by Chen Yao with the means of a god. Furthermore, Zhou Peisheng was also Chen Yao's spokesperson in Jiangbei, so with Zhou Peisheng's son as the governor, who could possibly make him worry to such an extent?
"Old Man Zhou, my Zheng Family can't hold on any longer. The Provincial's investigation team has already moved into our Zheng Family's real estate company, and Jiang Nan has already sent word out that if I do not agree to rely on them before 12, I will have to thoroughly check our company's accounts."
"As you all know, whoever is doing business here does not have any bad debts. They are usually calm and peaceful, but they do not investigate at all. If Provincial's investigation team is really serious, then our Zheng Family is finished."
"Everyone, I never thought that the wealthiest in Jiangnan, Zhao Yuanshan, would actually form a family with the new secretary of the provincial capital, Secretary Liu. Furthermore, Zhao Yuanshan is using a government machine to pressure everyone, forcing all of the market leaders of Jiangbei to bow their heads to Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce."
The patriarch of the Zheng Family continued.
"Old Man Zhou, please think of a way to contact divine doctor Chen. Right now, Jiang Nan and the rest of us are only going to watch the disappearance of divine doctor Chen and not participate in the gambling match with Wang Yong, so we dare to be so presumptuous in Jiangbei Province. If we can find divine doctor Chen and get him to go there to fight with Wang Yong, the current crisis in our Jiangbei Chamber of Commerce will naturally be resolved."
Another person stood up and said.
Yesterday, the Qi family's company was sealed up by the Provincial's investigation team under the name of tax evasion. Right now, the Qi family's patriarch Qi Lou is still in prison, if the divine doctor Chen does not appear, we can only bow our heads to the south, we have no choice. "
"Your son is the governor, so the investigation team will not easily check up on your Zhou family. However, we don't have your background. In order to protect ourselves, we can only lower our heads."
"Right, lowering your head is still better than having your company sealed."
Faced with such a strong pressure, everyone could only choose to compromise.
Zhou Peisheng knew what kind of pressure they were facing, so he didn't know how to comfort them.
Suddenly, someone stood up and said to Zhou Peisheng.
"Old Man Zhou, there are a lot of rumors circulating outside, and it is said that divine doctor Chen knew that he was not Wang Yong's match and escaped, leaving us people in the North as cannon fodder, I wonder if that is true."
"Nonsense."
Zhou Peisheng suddenly slammed the table and stood up.
"divine doctor Chen possesses the might of a god, how can he be afraid of a mere Wang Yong? That day, Wang Yong had sent a war letter to me and I had bitterly advised divine doctor Chen not to accept the war agreement, but divine doctor Chen had accepted it on his own accord.
"Furthermore, even if he is going to use many of our rich and powerful families as cannon fodder, he wouldn't use his family as fodder right?"
"I've already received news from the Qingxian that divine doctor Chen's second uncle has been stopped for dereliction of duty. Chen Yao's father was also sent to the to stir up trouble."
"With divine doctor Chen's temper, even if he knows that he is not Wang Yong's opponent, he would not sit idly by when the other party has already bullied him."
"Half a month ago, divine doctor Chen left a message that he wanted to go outside of the city and undergo closed-door training. After that, he would no longer be able to contact me.
After hearing Zhou Peisheng's words, everyone felt slightly relieved.
"As long as divine doctor Chen does not abandon my people."
However, after a short period of silence, someone finally spoke up.
"I heard that a master like divine doctor Chen is extremely scary when he cultivates. Do you guys think that the divine doctor Chen went berserk and suddenly died?"
"Nonsense."
"How is that impossible? Otherwise, how could his father and second uncle not react at all? "
Hearing this, everyone's heart once again sank to the bottom.
If something really happened to Chen Yao, then what was the point in them forcing it on? He was simply courting his own death.
If you lower your head to the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce now, you might be able to save a portion of your wealth.
Everyone's hearts had already begun to waver.
"Old Man Zhou, I'm sorry, but my Zheng Family can't hold on any longer. I have to say that my Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce has compromised.
"Old Man Zhou, my Wang Family no longer has the ability to resist Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce. I don't want my Wang Family to end up in the same miserable state as the Qi Family."
"Old Man Zhou, my Chu Family can only withdraw from the Jiangbei Chamber of Commerce."
In the blink of an eye, more than half of the twenty over people had already stood up, ready to leave Jiangbei Chamber of Commerce.
"Everyone, do you really want to leave the Jiangbei Chamber of Commerce and seek refuge there?"
The dozen or so people who stood up nodded their heads.
"We have no other choice. The President of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, Zhao Yuanshan, has already promised us that as long as we are willing to leave the Jiangbei Chamber of Commerce, we will not be targeted by the investigation team."
At this moment, Zhou Peisheng was exceptionally angry, they had already linked with the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce.
"Good, good, good."
Zhou Peisheng said three good words consecutively, then said furiously.
"Why would a bunch of cowards like you come out of nowhere in my, Jiangbei Province? Even if we don't have divine doctor Chen, do we Jiangbei Chamber of Commerce have to lower our heads to them? Have you ever thought about what kind of punishment divine doctor Chen would receive when he returns? "
The patriarch of the Zheng Family had long since been bribed by Zhao Yuanshan. When he had a falling out with Zhou Peisheng and the others who were supporting Chen Yao, how could he have any scruples?
He sneered.
"Zhou Peisheng, don't use the divine doctor Chen to scare us. If he doesn't show himself now, there's a high chance that he's already dead. Even if he doesn't die, he's definitely not Wang Yong's match."
"The battle between divine doctor Chen and Tang Hengqiu took more than ten minutes, while Wang Tongshan only used a single move to defeat Tang Hengqiu yesterday. Now, Tang Hengqiu is still tied to the bridge over Huanglong Island, it would be best if divine doctor Chen does not show himself, if not he would not even know how he died."
"Is that so?"
Suddenly, the conference room's door was pushed open and a thin figure appeared at the entrance.
