Who on earth have you offended

"President Ma..."

Xu Kaiyu suppressed the anger in his heart, his tone becoming humble, and then detailed the causes and consequences of the matter to Ma Anguo.

"President Ma, you have to stand up for me in this matter. This is entirely malicious suppression, and it violates the rules of commercial competition."

"If things are really as you say, the Wang and Cai families have indeed gone a bit overboard."

Ma Anguo frowned slightly. "You are all famous entrepreneurs in Modu and even across the country. Logically, Wang Lin and Cai Kun shouldn't have suddenly moved against you. Wait for me to ask around for you. Don't worry, I will definitely back you up on this."

"Good, good, then I'll trouble you, President Ma."

Xu Kaiyu hung up the phone and let out a long sigh of relief.

In his view, as long as Ma Anguo stepped in, this matter could definitely be settled.

And when the time came, the Wang and Cai families would also have to be severely reprimanded. After all, as the top leader of Modu, Ma Anguo certainly couldn't allow their two families to break the rules of competition so casually.

Modu, another office.

Wang Lin's cell phone suddenly rang.

He glanced at the caller ID, didn't hesitate, and directly put it to his ear to answer, "Hello, President Ma."

"Lao Wang, I just heard about the situation from Old Xu. If there's anything to say, everyone can sit down and have a good chat. There's no need to blow things out of proportion. I'll host a gathering later, let's all get together and talk it over properly. What do you think?" Ma Anguo's tone was calm.

"President Ma..."

Wang Lin was silent for a moment before continuing, "It's really not that I'm rejecting your face, but this time, Old Xu has really provoked someone he shouldn't have. I only dared to take action after receiving orders from above."

"Above?" Ma Anguo was stunned for a moment.

"It's Elder Zeng." Wang Lin didn't hide it.

At first, it was Wang Er who called him and told him what happened in the restaurant.

Subsequently, Wang Lin immediately reported the matter to Elder Zeng.

Although Elder Zeng didn't say much, he clearly expressed his dissatisfaction with the Xu family over the phone and hinted that Wang Lin should take action to suppress them, with the capital taking responsibility for all consequences.

"Elder Zeng?" Ma Anguo couldn't quite react.

After all, in his understanding, with Wang Lin's status, he couldn't reach such a high level.

"The one in the capital," Wang Lin spoke again.

Hearing this, Ma Anguo immediately stood up, looking shocked. "Are you sure it's Elder Zeng?"

"President Ma, do you think I would dare to joke about this kind of thing?" Wang Lin asked in reply.

"Okay, I understand now. But I still want to ask you specifically, how exactly did Old Xu offend the one above?"

Ma Anguo really couldn't hold back his curiosity. Although Xu Kaiyu was a top-tier major entrepreneur in the country, it was impossible for him to offend someone in such a high position, right?

Could it be that he did something harmful to the country and the people, thus alarming Elder Zeng?

But how did Wang Lin get in touch with Elder Zeng?

The difference in status was right there; the two sides were completely unrelated.

"I can't tell you the specifics, but the one Old Xu offended is not Elder Zeng, but someone else. This person is very special, and I cannot reveal any information."

"Alright, I understand. Let's leave it at that for now, we'll talk later when there's a chance."

Ma Anguo hung up the phone after speaking, but his heart was already churning with monstrous waves.

Naturally, he would not doubt what Wang Lin said.

After all, even if Wang Lin were given ten thousand times the courage, he absolutely wouldn't dare to joke about such a matter.

The key problem now was, who exactly did Xu Kaiyu offend.

What was so special about this person that could make Elder Zeng step forward personally, and make Wang Lin completely afraid to disclose any information about the other party?

After thinking for a moment, he took out his phone and called Xu Kaiyu.

At this moment, Xu Kaiyu was sitting in his office drinking tea, looking relaxed.

With Ma Anguo stepping in, the suppression from the Wang and Cai families would definitely collapse on its own. He felt there was nothing to worry about.

Just then, the phone rang.

Xu Kaiyu picked it up to look, then quickly sat up straight. "Hello, President Ma..."

"Old Xu, you are definitely doomed this time."

However, before he could speak, Ma Anguo's voice came from the other end of the phone, accompanied by a sigh.

Hearing this, Xu Kaiyu froze, only feeling his scalp go numb.

He had also heard Wang Lin say the exact same thing on the phone just now, but this sentence, coming from Wang Lin's mouth compared to Ma Anguo's mouth, were completely two different concepts.

The former was like a threat and intimidation, while the latter was like a death sentence.

"P... President Ma, what exactly is going on..."

His voice trembled, wanting to ask something.

Ma Anguo, however, interrupted his words. "Don't ask. I don't know the specific reasons, but what I can tell you is that a person of extreme importance has stepped forward. This matter has now escalated to a level you cannot imagine."

"Tell me carefully, who exactly did you provoke?"

"I..."

Xu Kaiyu swallowed his saliva, took a deep breath, and then clearly and plainly explained the entire course of events.

"The key to the matter must have happened in that private room. Go ask your son what exactly he did," Ma Anguo frowned.

"I just asked him. He said he just asked a young man in the private room to move his seat, and then he was beaten up by Wang Er, Cai Cheng, and a few others. Oh, right, those people also shouted a name, it seemed to be... Young Master Qin?"

"Young Master Qin?"

Ma Anguo thought seriously, but even after searching through all the information in his mind, he really couldn't find any information related to the words Young Master Qin.

This title sounded like it should belong to a young man.

But in the capital, he hadn't heard of any big shot surnamed Qin, right?

"President Ma, you absolutely must help me this time. I'll do whatever it takes." Xu Kaiyu was truly panicking now.

"Old Xu, it's not that I'm unwilling to help you, but this matter has now completely escalated to a level where even I don't dare to intervene. Do this: hurry up and take your son to the private room from just now, see if the person is still there, and apologize to them face to face. If you can get their forgiveness, there might still be a turning point. At most, I can only help you make a phone call to see if I can find out any information."

After speaking, Ma Anguo hung up the phone. He rummaged through his contacts for a moment, found a number with a capital area code, hesitated for a while, and then dialed it.

"Hello, I am Ma Anguo from Modu. I have something to discuss with Elder Zeng. I wonder if it is convenient for him right now?" he asked in a very humble tone.

"Hold on a moment."

On this end of the phone, the dispatcher's faint voice came through.

Just Became Emperor, Already Assassinated by the Son of Destiny

Just Became Emperor, Already Assassinated by the Son of Destiny

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
