Chapter 80: Someone is Dead
When Bai Chen arrived at the Fuyuan Chamber of Commerce, a crowd had already gathered there.
These people appeared anxious, their faces filled with worry.
“Miss Xiao, you must help us get through this crisis!”
“Yes! Who knew that after breaking off cooperation with the Yang Family, they would retaliate so fiercely?”
“The Yang Family owes me eight hundred thousand for goods, and now they refuse to pay! Where can I go to seek justice! I should never have trusted those heartless wolves and dogs!”
Xiao Si Yan looked at the crowd before her, sighing lightly in her heart.
Her delicate face slightly furrowed in concern.
“Miss Xiao, when is Boss Bai going to arrive?”
“It’s been ages with no sign of him. My cash flow is really running dry; if I can’t borrow money, my company will go under!”
“Exactly, Miss Xiao. At this critical time, the Fuyuan Chamber of Commerce can’t abandon us!”
Seeing the fearful expressions on everyone’s faces, Xiao Si Yan gently opened her lips, her cool voice soothing the crowd.
“Don’t worry, everyone. The Fuyuan Chamber of Commerce will not ignore you.”
When Bai Chen arrived, he immediately attracted the attention of those around him.
Xiao Si Yan saw Bai Chen and quickly approached him.
“Mr. Bai.”
Bai Chen nodded lightly.
At that moment, the people around displayed expressions of surprise.
This young man was the new boss of the Fuyuan Chamber of Commerce?
They were all heads of companies under the Fuyuan Chamber of Commerce.
They had heard that the Chamber had a new owner but had never seen him before.
Now, seeing Bai Chen’s youthful face, they felt a wave of shock.
Along with their surprise came worry.
Could such a young person withstand the Yang Family’s attacks?
In Lintai, the Yang Family was a commercial giant!
“Tell me what happened,” Bai Chen said to Xiao Si Yan lightly.
Xiao Si Yan nodded.
“The Xiao Family previously announced the end of our cooperation with the Yang Family in Lintai.”
“There were supposed to be various handover procedures, but the Yang Family directly violated the agreement, refusing to deliver the goods or payment that was due to us.”
“This has caused our companies to be unable to complete their projects, and some are even facing bankruptcy.”
“We also tried to urge the Yang Family through the judicial office, but all they do is delay.”
"Their goal is to drag our Chamber of Commerce’s companies down!"
Hearing Xiao Si Yan’s words, Bai Chen narrowed his eyes.
"It’s the Yang Family again. Aren’t they afraid of retaliation from the Xiao Family?"
Xiao Si Yan sighed lightly.
"After all, we were the ones who broke off cooperation with the Yang Family, and they hold a grudge."
"They haven’t actually violated anything; they are just delaying the final handover procedures."
"They waited until we returned what we owed them before starting to drag their feet, tricking us."
At this moment, the heads of the companies began to speak up one by one.
No matter how young Bai Chen was, he was still the one who could decide their fates.
"Boss Bai! Mr. Bai! My company only needs three million to revive our cash flow! Please lend me some!"
"Mr. Bai, I need five million!"
"Mr. Bai, I need twenty million."
…
A dozen people were crying and pleading, almost on their knees, calling Bai Chen "Daddy."
Among them, some needed one hundred million, while others only one million.
As long as they could temporarily revive the cash flow, they could save their companies.
They were all part of the Fuyuan Chamber of Commerce and had been severely messed over by the Yang Family this time.
Facing these people, Bai Chen naturally wouldn’t hold back.
Since the Fuyuan Chamber of Commerce had become his, he needed to pay attention.
"Si Yan, temporarily take out the amount these people need from the company to help them through this crisis."
Xiao Si Yan nodded.
"Understood, Mr. Bai."
Hearing Bai Chen’s words, the heads of the companies expressed their immense gratitude.
"Thank you, Boss Bai!"
"Mr. Bai, rest assured! Once we have this money, we will quickly revive our business and pay the company back!"
Bai Chen turned to look at the group and said lightly,
"I hope today’s incident serves as a reminder for you. In the future, when facing the Yang Family, you should know what to do."
Upon hearing Bai Chen’s words, many people gritted their teeth in anger.
"Don’t worry, Mr. Bai! From now on, the Yang Family is our enemy!"
"Exactly! This time, my company almost went bankrupt because of the Yang Family. I will never let them off the hook!"
Seeing this, Bai Chen looked at Xiao Si Yan and said coldly,
"In the future, the Yang Family will be the number one enemy of the Fuyuan Chamber of Commerce. Since they are attacking us in business, we shouldn’t hold back."
"Business battles are either you die or I live!"
Xiao Si Yan felt a tightness in her heart upon hearing this.
"I understand, Mr. Bai."
"Well, if there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave."
After Bai Chen left, the many company owners looked at Xiao Si Yan.
"Miss Xiao, who is this Mr. Bai?"
"Yeah, how can someone so young take charge of the Fuyuan Chamber of Commerce? The force behind him must be significant!"
Hearing their discussions, Xiao Si Yan narrowed her eyes.
"From now on, if I hear anyone daring to gossip about Mr. Bai, you can leave!"
"Remember, don’t pry or ask too much; you can’t afford to provoke him!"
Xiao Si Yan’s words carried a chill.
Now, her health was improving, and she noticed her strength seemed to be increasing as well.
Sometimes at night, while dreaming, she would see some very strange images.
She didn’t know whether this was good or bad.
But she knew that all these changes came after Bai Chen gave her that drop of bloodline.
She was gradually realizing Bai Chen’s terrifying nature!
On the other side, shortly after Bai Chen left the Fuyuan Chamber of Commerce, he received a call from Nan Yue Ran.
In the call, Nan Yue Ran sounded as if she had been frightened.
"Bai, Bai Chen! You have to come to Zijin Garden."
"There’s been a death here!"
Hearing Nan Yue Ran’s words, Bai Chen narrowed his eyes and rushed to Zijin Garden without hesitation.
When he arrived at Zijin Garden, he found that it had been flattened, and a large pit had been dug for the foundation.
But the workers were all huddled far away, while Nan Yue Ran sat nearby, completely lost.
Bai Chen quickly walked to Nan Yue Ran’s side.
"Yue Ran, what happened?"
Hearing Bai Chen’s voice, Nan Yue Ran snapped back to reality.
Bai Chen then noticed that Nan Yue Ran’s face was very pale, her lips trembling.
He gently hugged Nan Yue Ran until her emotions stabilized a bit, then looked into her eyes and said clearly,
"Yue Ran, tell me what happened. How did someone die?"
Nan Yue Ran took a deep breath and began to recall.
"We were supposed to start the foundation today, but who knew that as soon as we finished preparations, a cloud of black mist emerged from the ground!"
"The black mist swallowed a worker whole! Within seconds, that worker was dead! Then the black mist disappeared!"
Hearing Nan Yue Ran’s words, Bai Chen furrowed his brows tightly.
From Nan Yue Ran’s account alone, he couldn’t deduce anything.
Thinking of this, Bai Chen walked to the edge of the foundation pit.
He glanced at the foundation pit, and his expression suddenly changed!
