My Ares Son-in-Law

The visitor was named Wang Haishan, the chairman of Haishan Group, a prominent figure in the business world.

He and Liu Jianming have been friends for over fifteen years, a friendship that is like a fine wine that gets better with age.

When the global financial crisis raged, the entire business world was like a stormy sea, with turbulent waves, and countless companies perished in the storm.

It was precisely by helping each other, one lending a hand and the other supporting the other, that the two of them were able to survive in the turbulent sea of ​​business.

Liu Jianming has always treasured this friendship, keeping it in the softest part of his heart, and he would take it out to savor it from time to time.

In his mind, Wang Haishan's appearance at this moment was undoubtedly a timely help, like a pot of warm charcoal fire suddenly delivered in the cold winter.

however--

Just when Liu Jianming was overjoyed, thinking that everything would go in a good direction, an unexpected accident suddenly occurred.

A crisp "smack!" sound, like a thunderclap, suddenly rang out in the silent air, shattering all of Liu Jianming's expectations.

Just as his hand was about to shake hands with Wang Haishan, the other party rudely slapped his hand away with the folded flyer!

The movement was swift and decisive, without the slightest hesitation, carrying a clear sense of disdain and alienation, as if Liu Jianming's hands were covered in something dirty.

Liu Jianming's hand froze in mid-air, as if he had been frozen in place. The smile on his face instantly solidified, like a beautiful painting suddenly torn apart.

His eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at his old friend, his gaze filled with shock and pain: "Haishan... what... what are you doing?"

His voice trembled slightly, carrying a hint of helplessness and grievance after being hurt, like a child betrayed by a friend.

Wang Haishan stared intently at Liu Jianming, a mixture of helplessness and reproach on his face. His expression was like that of an elder watching a junior stray further and further down the wrong path, filled with anxiety and heartache.

He sighed softly, the sigh echoing in the air, filled with endless melancholy, and then slowly said, "Jianming, we've known each other for so many years, we've been through thick and thin together all these years, I've always regarded you as a brother."

"I really can't bear to see you continue making mistakes today. Take my advice and stop."

"Look at the state of your Jianming Group now. The stock price hit the daily limit down yesterday. It's like a ship that has lost power in a storm and could be swallowed by the sea at any moment."

Why do you still wholeheartedly help that arrogant little good-for-nothing who appeared out of nowhere?

"The Xunjiang Group may seem tempting, but the waters behind it run too deep, like a giant whirlpool. Once you get caught in it, it's not something someone of our level can get involved in. In the end, there won't even be any bones left!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Jianming felt a surge of anger rising from his chest, his chest heaving violently as if a furious beast was rampaging inside him.

Just as he was about to retort and loudly tell Wang Haishan that he would never easily change his mind about what he had made up his mind, he caught a glimpse of a tall figure walking unhurriedly towards him out of the corner of his eye.

The figure walked with a steady gait and possessed an extraordinary air; it was Xiao Chen, dressed in a sharp black suit.

Xiao Chen's black suit gleamed coldly in the sunlight, seemingly an outward manifestation of his resolute character.

Liu Jianming forcibly suppressed the roar that was about to burst out of his mouth. The roar was like a volcano about to erupt, which he forcefully held back.

He quickly composed himself, turned to greet Xiao Chen, forced a respectful smile, and said in a respectful tone, "Mr. Xiao, you've arrived."

There was a hint of relief in his voice, as if Xiao Chen's arrival was a beacon of light in his darkness.

Xiao Chen's gaze slowly swept over the desolate scene, which resembled a barren desert, devoid of any life. His face showed little surprise, as if he had long anticipated this outcome.

He simply reached out and gently patted Liu Jianming's shoulder, the gesture conveying a sense of composure and reassurance, his tone as calm as a still lake: "Thank you for your hard work."

"Mr. Xiao, you flatter me. It's no trouble at all."

Liu Jianming quickly lowered his head, his posture resembling that of a devout believer facing his faith.

His voice carried a hint of humility, as if doing anything for Xiao Chen was only natural.

Hearing Liu Jianming address Xiao Chen so respectfully, Wang Haishan frowned deeply, his brows furrowing like two tightly locked mountains, as if he had heard something unbelievable, his face filled with disbelief.

He couldn't help but raise his voice, his tone dripping with sarcasm: "Liu Jianming! Were you delirious from your illness before? Are you still not clear-headed?"

"Why are you so obsequious to a little kid who hasn't even grown his first hair, a good-for-nothing?"

"You're really getting more and more backward as you get older!"

"Back in the day, Liu Jianming, you were a big shot in the business world. When did you become so spineless?"

These words were like a spark, precisely igniting the fuse of anger that Liu Jianming had been suppressing in his heart.

The anger was like a volcano that had been suppressed for a long time, which finally erupted completely, spewing out lava.

Liu Jianming suddenly turned around, his movements as swift as an enraged lion, his fingers trembling violently with anger, almost poking Wang Haishan's nose.

His voice was distorted and trembling with anger, each word seemingly squeezed out from between his teeth: "Wang Haishan! If you have come to congratulate me sincerely today, with good intentions and blessings, then I, Liu Jianming, will definitely remember this favor and repay it many times over in the future!"

"But if you're here just to make sarcastic remarks, mock me, and laugh at me, then get lost!"

"Get out of here right now!"

"Get as far away as possible, and don't get in my way!"

"Liu Jianming! I came here with good intentions to remind you, and all my hard work was wasted like throwing food to a dog. Is this your attitude?!"

Wang Haishan was also enraged by this sudden outburst of anger. His face instantly turned bright red, like a red-hot iron, and the veins on his neck bulged out, resembling angry earthworms.

"The Zhou family of the Western Region! And several other major families in the ancient city! Do you know how much power they wield?"

"The joint ban has been issued!"

"Now, who would dare to come and support you? It would mean offending these powerful figures at the same time, and the consequences would be something you couldn't afford!"

"Your attitude is simply digging your own grave and driving yourself to a dead end!"

"I'm warning you one last time: immediately sever all ties with this Xunjiang Group and the good-for-nothing by your side!"

"Otherwise, you won't even know how you died, and there won't even be anyone to collect your body!" (End of Chapter)
