Chapter 126: You Are Bankrupt

Ye Chen wanted to say something more, but seeing that Xiao Churan was already angry, he could only sulk and turn to leave the restaurant.

A mere small company owner actually dared to act so arrogantly in front of him? Was he tired of living?

Xiao Churan was still wary of him; didn’t she know that her husband was the one with the real power?

In that moment, Ye Chen really wanted to reveal his true identity to Xiao Churan, so she wouldn’t have to worry about the future anymore, nor be bullied by a small-time boss from a tiny company.

However, he held back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

Revealing his identity would mean he was officially accepting his return to the Ye family, acknowledging his roots.

Ye Chen didn’t want to go back.

Once outside the restaurant, Ye Chen looked up at the building and then took out his phone to call the chief steward of the Ye family, Tang Sihai.

“Investigate the details of Qiancheng Company for me, and find out which clients they’ve recently collaborated with and what projects they have on hand.”

Tang Sihai’s respectful voice came through the phone: “Young Master, Qiancheng Company’s main clients are mostly small enterprises under the Ye family. This year, they also secured several properties from the Dihao Group.”

“Is that so?” Ye Chen sneered. After all this time, it turned out that this Mei Ping was just a small fry scraping by behind him.

Ye Chen suddenly felt like laughing.

If Mei Ping knew that he had offended his business father, he wondered how he would feel?

Thinking of this, he said to Tang Sihai, “Help me teach Qiancheng Company a lesson.”

Tang Sihai respectfully asked, “Young Master, what are your orders?”

“Oh, withdraw all cooperation with Qiancheng Company. I find this stupid company very displeasing.”

“Qiancheng Company has offended you? Should I have someone take care of their boss? Make him disappear!”

Ye Chen waved his hand and smiled, “No need for violence. If you kill him, how will he feel the pain? Just let him go bankrupt and never get back up.”

“Third Young Master, wait a few minutes. I’ll arrange it right away.”

For Tang Sihai, causing Qiancheng Company to go bankrupt was as easy as squashing an ant.

After giving his orders, Ye Chen hung up the phone and looked up at the building again, noticing that Xiao Churan was still apologizing profusely to Mei Ping, who wore a smug expression and was muttering something, probably cursing him.

He simply sat down by the roadside, lazily waiting for his wife to come out.

On the street, Ye Chen, dressed in ordinary clothes, looked like just another passerby, and no one paid him any extra attention.

However, with a single phone call, he could turn a well-known boss in Jinling into a penniless loser.

Xiao Churan continued to apologize in front of Mei Ping, and his expression seemed to soften a bit.

Then, Xiao Churan accompanied Mei Ping out the door, while Mei Ping’s burned face still throbbed with pain.

He saw Ye Chen sitting by the road and shot him a fierce glare before turning to Xiao Churan and saying, “Churan, for your sake, I’ll forgive your useless husband this once. Tomorrow night, I’ll treat you to dinner again to discuss cooperation.”

On the surface, he appeared nonchalant, merely trying to please Xiao Churan, but inside, he was seething with anger.

If it weren’t for Xiao Churan’s apology just now, he would have wanted to have someone come over and cripple Ye Chen on the spot!

However, Mei Ping didn’t plan to let Ye Chen off easily; he just wanted to give him a temporary reprieve. Once he had Xiao Churan in his grasp tomorrow, he would find someone to take care of Ye Chen!

Ye Chen walked over and said to Xiao Churan, “Wife, let’s go home. There’s nothing to discuss with this soon-to-be bankrupt loser, and there’s certainly no cooperation to be had.”

Mei Ping’s expression changed slightly, and he coldly said, “Kid, you really are asking for it, saying I’m going bankrupt? Do you believe I can kill you in a minute? The only reason you’re still safe is that I’m giving Churan face!”

Ye Chen sneered and raised his hand to slap him.

“Smack!”

Mei Ping froze, covering his face, and then angrily shouted.

“Useless! You dare hit me?”

Ye Chen coldly replied, “What’s wrong with hitting you? If I hit you, you just have to take it!”

After saying that, he raised his hand again and slapped him, causing his cheek to swell up.

Although Xiao Churan was somewhat disgusted by Mei Ping, seeing Ye Chen slap him twice made her worry. She hurriedly said, “Ye Chen, what are you doing… Didn’t I tell you not to fight with people casually?”

Her concern wasn’t for the cooperation but for whether Ye Chen would face retaliation from Mei Ping. After all, Mei Ping was a well-known boss; how could he swallow this humiliation?

Sure enough, Mei Ping, furious and humiliated, revealed his true colors, pointing at Xiao Churan and saying, “Xiao, if your husband doesn’t pay for today’s debt, I’ll have him killed! Let him completely disappear from Jinling!”

Upon hearing the term “pay with flesh,” Xiao Churan immediately retorted angrily, “You’re shameless!”

“Shameless?” Mei Ping snorted coldly. “Don’t think I don’t know, the Xiao family has long since kicked you out. Do you still think you’re the young lady of the Xiao family? Let me tell you the truth, I, Mei Ping, can make your whole family disappear with just a stomp of my foot in Jinling. If you don’t want anything to happen to your family, you’d better crawl to my bed on your knees. If I’m happy, I might reluctantly forgive you!”

Xiao Churan trembled with anger, saying sternly, “Mei Ping, you’re a bastard!”

“I have power and influence; what’s wrong with being shameless?” Mei Ping said shamelessly.

Ye Chen stood up and said to Mei Ping, “Mei, you’re already bankrupt, so you might as well save your talk about power and influence.”

“What did you say!”

Mei Ping was taken aback, completely caught off guard.

Just as he was about to shout in anger, his phone suddenly rang.

Mei Ping didn’t want to answer, but the phone rang insistently.

He pointed a finger at Ye Chen in annoyance and picked up the phone.

“Hello, what’s the matter…”

“President Mei, it’s bad!! The shareholders of the company we were supposed to cooperate with suddenly withdrew all our collaborations!”

“What!” Mei Ping’s face changed drastically. “I’ll call the capital right away.”

“Wait, it’s not just the capital withdrawing cooperation; even the Dihao Group, which has long-term cooperation with us, suddenly canceled all collaborations. Additionally, President Zhao, President Li, President Tang… all canceled their contracts…”

Mei Ping held the phone, stunned into silence.

But the voice on the phone continued.

“…Currently, four companies have called, demanding Qiancheng Company pay a huge penalty for breach of contract…”

“President Zhang from Haotian Financial called, demanding the return of 280 million in project loans, with a deadline for tomorrow’s transfer, or they will proceed with legal action and seize our ongoing properties.”

“Also, the heads of Guangfa Bank, Construction Bank, Industrial and Commercial Bank, and Agricultural Bank have all called to collect debts, insisting we settle all previous loans by noon tomorrow, or they will auction off the company’s assets…”

Mei Ping was drenched in sweat, his face devoid of color, cold sweat soaking through his shirt.

Has the world gone mad?

Or is he in a nightmare?

How could all this bad luck suddenly come crashing down?

It was as if they had all coordinated their actions!

What on earth is happening?
