Chapter 537: Chapter 538: The Foundation of the M Country Su Family
Martial arts school?
The words "martial arts school" made Gu Changsheng laugh out loud. It’s just a small martial arts school, what use could it have? Even the people he spent heavily to hire aren’t a match for Tian Chen. Even if Su Changfeng were to come, there’s a possibility he couldn’t defeat him, let alone the people inside the martial arts school.
"In Jiang City, I doubt anyone can rival that person. If you don’t let the Gu Family withdraw from Jiang City’s business scene..." Gu Changsheng wanted to continue but stopped, looking at Gu Qing’er with a meaningful gaze.
Gu Qingwen’s heart skipped a beat. Although Gu Changsheng didn’t make it explicit, he guessed Gu Changsheng’s intentions through his eyes.
If the Gu Family doesn’t withdraw from the market as per Ye Qingcheng’s demand, Gu Qing’er might be put in danger.
As her father, Gu Qingwen certainly wouldn’t allow Gu Qing’er to be in any danger.
"Dad, are we really powerless?"
"If there were a way, I wouldn’t want to give up so easily," Gu Changsheng responded.
Gu Qingwen looked helpless indeed; it seemed like this matter couldn’t be changed. Even Gu Changsheng was giving up, so how could he have any alternative solutions?
"I’ll go make the arrangements," Gu Qingwen said.
The next day, when the Gu Family announced that they would be withdrawing from Jiang City’s business scene, Jiang City was shocked. To most people, the Gu Family equaled the pinnacle of Jiang City’s business realm. Why would such a preeminent family withdraw from the market for no apparent reason?
Many were particularly astonished by this.
However, those who were aware of the situation suspected this had something to do with the Ye Group.
The Ye Group suddenly emerged in Jiang City and if they wanted to become the leader of Jiang City’s market, the Gu Family was the peak they had to overcome. Now that the Gu Family suddenly withdrew from the market, many people suspected the Gu Family’s withdrawal was orchestrated by the Ye Group, which also caused many to view the Ye Group in a new light.
If even the Gu Family wasn’t a match for the Ye Group, then in the future of Jiang City, who would be qualified to contend with the Ye Group?
When Su Changfeng arrived in Jiang City, he went straight to Charming. He wanted Wang Tianhu and Zhu Lie to meet each other. Wang Tianhu, a giant of a man, was currently the most powerful person at Su Changfeng’s disposal, and he would inevitably have a lot of contact with Zhu Lie in the future.
When Zhu Lie saw Wang Tianhu, he was stunned by Wang Tianhu’s size. After hearing how Wang Tianhu usually trained from Su Changfeng, Zhu Lie was taken aback.
"Are you joking? Can he really knock down a tree?" Zhu Lie looked at Wang Tianhu with doubt and asked Su Changfeng quietly.
Su Changfeng had seen it with his own eyes, so there was no room for falsehood. He smiled and told Zhu Lie, "Why don’t you experience it yourself to witness his true strength?"
Zhu Lie shook his head like a rattle drum. Even if Wang Tianhu couldn’t knock down a tree, given his build, crashing into a person would leave them half-paralyzed if not dead.
"By the way, you might not know about this yet," Zhu Lie said to Su Changfeng.
"What happened?" Su Changfeng asked.
"The Gu Family announced today they are withdrawing from Jiang City’s business scene. From now on, the Gu Family won’t own even half a storefront or enterprise in Jiang City," Zhu Lie said.
Su Changfeng’s brows furrowed into a ’川’ shape. The Gu Family had industries or groups in various sectors in Jiang City, with many subsidiary groups under its name. How could it suddenly exit the Jiang City market?
"What’s happening? What is Gu Changsheng doing?" Su Changfeng said in confusion.
Zhu Lie also didn’t know what exactly happened but simply heard some rumors, he told Su Changfeng, "There are rumors in Jiang City that the Gu Family’s withdrawal from the business world is because of the Ye Group, but what exactly the situation is, you’ll probably have to go ask the Gu Family yourself to find out."
Su Changfeng nodded gravely. Whatever the rumors outside said, they were after all just rumors. If he wanted to know the truth, he definitely had to go and see the Gu Family.
"Feng Bin, take Wang Tianhu to buy some necessities and let him stay at my place," Su Changfeng instructed Feng Bin.
Although it’s a bit inappropriate for two big men to be living together, Wang Tianhu knows nothing about society, and letting him live alone might cause a lot of problems. Wang Tianhu might not even know how to eat properly, so until Wang Tianhu gets accustomed to society, Su Changfeng decided to keep him close.
"Brother Changfeng, don’t worry about this," Feng Bin nodded.
"Wang Tianhu, all the people here are our own, I have something to attend to elsewhere, but I’ll be back shortly," Su Changfeng told Wang Tianhu.
Wang Tianhu, curious about his surroundings, wanted to explore the outside world and wasn’t concerned about what Su Changfeng was going to do. He kept nodding.
Su Changfeng drove to the Gu Family Villa District and arrived outside Gu Changsheng’s villa, then rang the doorbell.
When Gu Changsheng opened the door and saw Su Changfeng, he wasn’t surprised at all as he knew that Su Changfeng would definitely come after finding out about this incident.
"Come in and sit," Gu Changsheng said.
Previously, when meeting Gu Changsheng, he stood with a particularly straight back, but now, Gu Changsheng’s back was bent as if he had suddenly aged a lot.
Once inside the villa’s living room, Su Changfeng sat down and asked, "There’s a rumor that this is related to the Ye Group?"
"Yes, Ye Qingcheng came to the Gu Family. She brought a particularly strong master who beat all the people I hired. I was afraid that not complying with her demand would harm Gu Qing’er, so I chose to withdraw from Jiang City’s market," Gu Changsheng explained.
"Chen Chen?" Su Changfeng asked.
"The person’s name is Tian Chen; he should be a new helper Ye Qingcheng just found," Gu Changsheng said.
A new helper!
Could this Tian Chen be even stronger than Chen Chen?
Su Changfeng gritted his teeth. The century-long heritage of the M Country Su Family was truly formidable, far surpassing the Beijing Su Family, no wonder the M Country Su Family looked down on the Beijing Su Family.
In this aspect alone, the Beijing Su Family couldn’t compare.
Even though Su Changfeng didn’t know if Huo Tian was stronger than Tian Chen, in the entire Beijing Su Family, there was only one Huo Tian. In contrast, the M Country Su Family was different; they surely had more than just Tian Chen in their ranks.
"Master, I hope you won’t blame me for this decision. With our Gu Family’s withdrawal, it will surely become even harder for you to confront the Ye Group on your own," Gu Changsheng cautiously asked.
Su Changfeng shook his head. Indeed, the current situation was more disadvantageous to him. Previously, at least the Gu Family could stand against the Ye Group, but once the Gu Family exited the market, the Ye Group would unrestrainedly take over the main industries of Jiang City, putting even more pressure on Su Changfeng, making it hard for him to catch his breath, but he wouldn’t blame Gu Changsheng.
