"How dare this kid? How dare he?"

Xiao Hong's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

On the other end of the phone was the president, the number one martial arts expert in the Jiangnan District! Even if you include the other associations, he's still one of the strongest!

As it turned out, Chen Fan's words just now showed no respect whatsoever; in fact, they even carried a threatening connotation.

Does he think that the president can't do anything to him because there's a network cable between them?

Sun Wei stared at Chen Fan, thinking to himself, "He knew it, he knew this wouldn't end like this."

If we take this so seriously, Brother Chen's relationship with headquarters will become very strained in the future, won't it? Because that person is the General Manager!

"Yes, Brother Chen, are you talking to me?"

To everyone's surprise, Shi Tao's tone was very calm, as if he wasn't angry at all.

"It's Brother Chen," Chang Fei quickly said, "Chairman, I think you should listen to what Xiao Hong has to say."

He knew that the president was a protective person, not to mention that he regarded Ling Yu as his successor. Although they were not father and son, they were as close as father and son.

He had a feeling that the president probably already knew the inside story, which was why he didn't want to investigate further.

However, it was clear that Brother Chen was determined to get to the bottom of things, and simply avoiding the issue wouldn't solve anything.

Secondly, can such excessive pampering and favoritism towards Ling Yu really cultivate a martial arts master who can save humanity from the brink of disaster?

If possible, he hoped to teach Ling Yu a harsh lesson through this incident, so that the latter would know that the world does not revolve around him.

Xiao Hong's heart, which he had been holding back for so long, was in his throat again.

After a full three seconds, Shi Tao slowly uttered a single word, "Good."

Chang Fei looked at Xiao Hong and said sternly, "Repeat what you told me before to the president. Don't hold back anything. Do you understand?"

"Listen, I understand."

Xiao Hong was like a wilted eggplant, completely deflated.

So he spoke again and recounted the whole story without holding anything back.

"President, I admit I was wrong, very wrong. But if Ling Yu hadn't found me and manipulated me with his words, I wouldn't have made such a big mistake, President."

After saying this, Xiao Hong burst into tears.

All around, there was a deathly silence.

Everyone was waiting for a reply on the other end of the phone.

"Okay, I'll go talk to him about it. I'll call you back later."

After Shi Tao finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

"Beep, beep, beep..."

Chang Fei was at his wit's end, but he still managed a smile as he looked at Chen Fan and said, "Brother Chen, you heard what the chairman said earlier. Please wait a moment. Don't worry, headquarters will definitely give you a satisfactory answer to this matter."

"Yeah?"

Chen Fan's expression was indifferent.

"Yes, don't worry, young Chen."

Chang Fei hurriedly said.

So, deep down, he wasn't really sure either.

If the chairman wanted to give Chen Fan a satisfactory explanation, he could simply turn on speakerphone on his phone. Since Ling Yu was right next to him, he could confront Xiao Hong in court.

But the chairman didn't; instead, he hung up the phone first.

In that case, it's anyone's guess what will happen over there.

Xiao Hong licked his lips, filled with regret.

This feeling of being at someone else's mercy is absolutely awful.

In a quiet room.

Shi Tao hung up the phone, turned around, and scrutinized Ling Yu in front of him.

The latter sat on the prayer mat, forcing a calm smile, and said, "Master, why are you looking at me like that? Did Uncle Chang call you? What did they say on the phone?"

"You really want to know?"

Shi Tao asked.

Ling Yu's heart skipped a beat.

As far as I can remember, my master only showed this expression when he was reprimanding him.

In other words, something really went wrong on Xiao Hong's side. Not only did he fail, but Uncle Chang also found out about it.

Uncle Chang called his master again. Was he going to interrogate him?

You, Xiao Hong, actually betrayed me after being caught? You really don't respect me at all.

A surge of anger welled up inside him, but he forced a smile and said, "Yes, I'm somewhat curious, but if this matter is confidential, then it's better if I don't know."

Shi Tao looked at him and asked directly, "Xiao Hong, you sent him, didn't you?"

"Master, what are you saying? I don't understand!"

Ling Yu tried his best to look bewildered, but his body was trembling uncontrollably, and cold sweat was pouring down his forehead.

"You think you can fool me with your current acting skills?"

Shi Tao squinted.

Ling Yu was struck dumb. The next moment, he knelt down with a thud, choking back tears, and said, "Master, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have coveted that alchemist, and I shouldn't have sent Xiao Hong over there. But I meant well!"

"A kind intention?"

Shi Tao gave a cold laugh.

"Yes, Master."

Ling Yu raised her head, her eyes brimming with tears.

"I did this entirely for your sake, Master. You are already at the third level of the True Essence Realm. If you consume enough high-grade True Qi Pills, you can definitely reach the fourth level. At that time, you will be able to condense a first-grade Martial Dao True Pill with 100% certainty!"

At that time, even a beast king-level ferocious beast wouldn't be able to cause much trouble in front of you. That's right, given enough time, Elder Tang and the others could definitely refine a large number of high-grade True Qi Pills. But what about time?

Ling Yu's eyes were blurred with tears. "No one knows how long it will take them. Maybe tomorrow, maybe a week, or even a month. So I was thinking that if I could bring Chen Fan here and have him refine high-grade True Qi Pills for you, Master, wouldn't you be able to reach the fourth level of the True Essence Realm very quickly?"

"Nonsense!"

Shi Tao flew into a rage. "What did you say to Xiao Hong? Do I need to remind you again?"

"Master, I said that on purpose."

Ling Yu said hoarsely, "You can know a person's face but not their heart. If Xiao Hong knew that this matter was related to you, who knows what he would do next?"

"Well, if it's in my name, then it's different, isn't it?"

Shi Tao was stunned upon hearing this.

"Master, I really mean it for your sake!" Seeing this, Ling Yu quickly pressed his advantage, "You are the hope of our Jiangnan District Martial Arts Association. Only when your strength increases will our association grow stronger day by day, right?"

"Chen Fan can refine so many high-grade True Qi Pills, can he use them all by himself? Even if he could, wouldn't it be better to use so many True Qi Pills on you, Master?"

"shut up!"

Shi Tao gave a rebuke, but most people could tell that the anger in his tone had dissipated considerably.

He stared into Ling Yu's eyes and asked, "Is that really what you think?"

"Master!"

Ling Yu raised his right hand, straightened his chest, and said, "I, Ling Yu, swear to heaven that if any of the words I just said are false, may I..."

"Alright!"

Shi Tao interrupted him, saying, "Even so, do you think what you did was right?"

"I……"

Ling Yu lowered his hands and bowed his head.

"A wise man knows what to do and what not to do. Have you forgotten how I have taught you?"

"Master, I know I was wrong."

Ling Yu looked at the ground and said, "I promise I will never dare to do that again."

"Sigh, you."

Shi Tao sighed, looking helpless.

"Fortunately, this time, no major disaster occurred. However, while you may escape the death penalty, you will not escape punishment. For the next month, you will remain here in seclusion and are not allowed to leave. Do you understand?"

"Listen, I heard Master."

Ling Yu nodded quickly, feeling smug to himself.

Sure enough, you have to play the victim to get help from someone like your master.

Arguing back and refusing to admit anything are completely useless in front of him.

"Master, what are your plans next?" Ling Yu asked tentatively.

"You should stay here and cultivate in seclusion. I will handle this matter."

Shi Tao glanced at him, picked up his phone, and walked out.

"call……"

Ling Yu breathed a long sigh of relief only after seeing Shi Tao's back and bringing him into view.

With the master's words, this matter is over.

but.

A fierce glint flashed in his eyes. "You, Xiao Hong, are good for nothing but causing trouble."

How dare you betray me?

Alright, wait a few days until Master is in a better mood, then he'll leave this place and come settle accounts with you!

Meanwhile, in the conference room on the other side...

As time ticked by, Sun Wei grew increasingly anxious.

What on earth is the president doing? If he wanted to find out the truth, he could have Ling Yu and Xiao Hong confront each other, right?

Chen Fan glanced at Xiao Hong beside him, then his gaze fell on the time in the lower right corner of the screen.

Almost five minutes have passed since I hung up the phone.

He wanted to see how long the other party could make him wait.

"President, what are you doing?"

Chang Fei was extremely anxious.

He would occasionally raise his arm to glance at the time on his watch.

Then I glanced at my phone, but unfortunately, I still hadn't received a call.

"President, president, you wouldn't still be trying to favor Ling Yu, would you?"

He had a bad feeling about it.

Based on his understanding of Shi Tao, this possibility is extremely high.

However, if the chairman chooses to protect Ling Yu, Brother Chen will definitely be very dissatisfied.

It's really hard to say what the outcome will be then.

Just then, the computer sent a request to add a video.

Chang Fei was immediately alarmed when he saw the video, because the person who initiated the video call was Shi Tao!

"Brother Chen, the chairman will be video chatting with us later, so be prepared."

"Mm." Chen Fan nodded.

The next moment, the screen split in two. On the left side was Chang Fei, and on the right was a middle-aged man with a resolute face and a burly build, exuding an aura of authority.

His mere appearance stunned Sun Wei and Xiao Hong into standing still.
