At this mont, as the tremor ceased and Gao Xing took advantage of the chaos to disappear into the crowd, Guo Nansheng, who had regained his balance, glanced at the electronic watch in his hand and said calmly:
"This is the city center of Magic City. In at most three more minutes, elite forces will arrive, so... irrelevant people, don’t waste my ti. I can’t afford it."
This remark was clearly a warning to so people including Ding Yi, who, though sowhat displeased, remained silent after assessing the situation.
"Guo Nansheng, what exactly do you want?"
Guo Wangshan asked loudly, "I think the people you want to see should all be here right now. You might as well state your demands directly. Others I don’t know, but I can assure you, whatever I can compensate, I will try to compensate you."
"Uncle Six, you are always so calm. In this regard, you are indeed better than my dad... Don’t worry, what you need to repay, you won’t escape."
Guo Nansheng smiled inexplicably at first, then turned his gaze to Zhou Wang, "I said I’m here to chat with Zhou Wang. Next, I don’t want anyone to interrupt."
?
Zhou Wang was montarily puzzled.
When Guo Nansheng appeared, he said he wanted to finish the wine from that day. Zhou Wang always thought it was so kind of farewell ritual. Now it seems he really ca for him.
This surprised Zhou Wang greatly.
But what connection could he have with the downfall of the Jiangnan Guo Family?
"What do you want to talk about?"
While also wanting to help Gao Xing buy so ti, Zhou Wang gestured to others to temporarily keep silent and asked while staring at Guo Wangshan.
"I want to know a truth."
Guo Wangshan stared at Zhou Wang, his gaze carrying so other aning. Such an expression was sothing Zhou Wang had seen when they drank and talked in the alley that day.
"What truth?"
"Let first tell you what I know."
Guo Wangshan said calmly, "Ro was never destroyed in a day. About two years ago, my dad already noticed so signs. So senior executives in the family’s enterprise inexplicably resigned, and not only did they leave, they also took away so core technologies by various ans. Moreover, so factories, which were originally well-connected, frequently faced inspections and were forced to shut down..."
"Not long after, the two listed companies under the group were targeted in the stock market, with their market value evaporating continuously..."
"You could say that those two years, my family was always in a state of turmoil, but my dad never showed it in front of . Do you rember just before graduation, I was the first to leave school, didn’t even get to have a farewell dinner with you all?"
"I rember."
Zhou Wang nodded; he had a deep impression of this matter. That last al was with him, Li Cheng, and another roommate from Guang Province, and Guo Nansheng left in a hurry.
"At that ti, my dad urgently called back, and when I got back, my mom was already in the hospital. Looking at my dad’s exhausted appearance, I realized such a significant upheaval had happened at ho unbeknownst to ..."
At this point, Guo Nansheng clenched his fists and said through gritted teeth, "Zhou Wang, did you know, I always thought I was different from others, but seeing my dad with a heart ashen and being unable to do anything, I realized I was just living under the protection of my parents, useless. When the real storm ca, I couldn’t do anything..."
Zhou Wang nodded to express his understanding. Isn’t this how young people are? Everyone once thought they would be the protagonist of the world, and most people finally realized they aren’t even qualified to be NPCs.
"My dad too, always waits till things reach the worst point before being willing to tell everything."
Guo Nansheng said softly, "I kept pressing my dad for the truth, but though my dad evidently knew sothing, he never told until the day he jumped into the sea. I know he might have thought it was also a kind of protection, but they’re all gone, what does it matter now..."
"Fortunately, later on, with the help of another person, I still found out so things."
"At that feast where the Jiangnan Guo Family was devoured, seven people sat in total."
At this ti, Guo Nansheng turned his head, his gaze first locked on He Jinglun, "Mr. He, you were in there, weren’t you?"
He Jinglun’s expression changed slightly, but he rely remained silent in response.
"And also Mr. Zhang, the top businesswoman in Magic City. I clearly rember you always had a good relationship with my mom..."
Guo Nansheng turned his gaze to Zhang Shiling, the mother of Young Master Zhang.
Notably, standing beside her, Zhang Shihao, Young Master Zhang’s Second Uncle, showed no surprise. Clearly, he too was aware.
"And Mr. Chen, President Shen, Mr. Liu..."
Guo Nansheng seed to call nas, then smiled faintly and pointed at three more individuals present. According to the saying "Double Guo, one Chen", "Double Liu, one Shen" in the Magic City business circle, those nad by Guo Nansheng were undoubtedly the top tycoons in Magic City.
They weren’t previously familiar with Zhou Wang, but today they were gracious enough to attend and offer congratulations.
"Oh, and my dear Uncle Six. I rember you said you used to hold when I was little. How did it all co to this?"
Faced with what seed like a genuine question from Guo Nansheng, Guo Wangshan hesitated to speak.
"...So things are not as you imagine; you’ve only seen the surface."
After all, Guo Wangshan rely sighed and said so.
"My ho is gone, my parents are dead, yet those are the actual results."
Guo Nansheng chuckled, not looking at Guo Wangshan again, nor probing whether he was trying to cover up. In the end, he turned his gaze back to Zhou Wang, his look gradually becoming complicated, differing from how he viewed others.
"Zhou Wang, I just ntioned six people, didn’t I?"
After Zhou Wang nodded, he continued, "There’s still a seventh person, the one hidden the deepest. I’m afraid not all the other six even know he exists... for example, I guess Mr. He doesn’t know there’s a seventh person."
Hearing this, He Jinglun just snorted coldly, but the fleeting confusion in his eyes revealed so of his inner turmoil.
He seed truly unaware.
"However, according to the person helping , the one hidden the deepest is actually the mastermind behind all this, the chief culprit for the Guo Family’s demise. He orchestrated the downfall of my family and got the juiciest piece at that feast of gluttony!"
Guo Nansheng’s voice suddenly rose sharply, and he said through clenched teeth, "If I don’t find him, my revenge plan is aningless, and everything I’ve done today would be in vain..."
"I spent countless energy and finally discovered a na, yet what that na represents is too imnse, and I have no idea who to actually look for."
At this point, Guo Nansheng paused, then turned to talk about another matter.
"Zhou Wang, do you know what the 55th and 56th floors of the International Gold Center were used for before they were vacated?"
Zhou Wang was taken aback and shook his head, not understanding. Guo Nansheng oddly glanced at him and unveiled the answer with a faint smile.
"This was once the headquarters of the Jiangnan Guo Group. Until over a year ago, when my dad could no longer hold on and transferred it... and it was through this transfer that I first ca across that na."
While Zhou Wang’s pupils quaked, Guo Nansheng was already staring intently at him, saying loudly:
"You figured it out, didn’t you? Yes... the one who bought this place is a foundation called ’Cloud Trust’. It’s the na I know."
"And you, have now beco its owner!"
"So tell , Zhou Wang, are you... the seventh person?!"
