Master Zhang’s words instantly shocked the entire Shen family into silence.
Shen Tianjun had originally thought that Master Zhang was merely trying to scare them, but only now did he understand that this was not the case at all.
So Shen Tianjun looked at Master Zhang with incredulity.
“What did you say?”
Even the other members of the Shen family looked at the Shen family with incredulous gazes.
“I am saying, your Shen family is not about to be finished. It is already finished!” Master Zhang sneered coldly.
“No, this is impossible. This is absolutely impossible!” Shen Tianjun roared, appearing almost mad.
Then he strode toward Shen Yucheng, grabbed him by the chest and roared.
“Tell me this is not true. This is not!” Shen Tianjun bellowed.
But Shen Yucheng’s face was ashen, and he did not speak at all.
“Just how many assets did you privately mortgage out?” Shen Tianjun angrily demanded again.
“All of them.” Shen Yucheng finally spoke after a long while. These two words seemed to drain all the strength from his body.
“How could I have such a stupid son?” Shen Tianjun slapped Shen Yucheng across the face.
“You told me to act boldly. You gave me all the authority. Have you forgotten?” Shen Yucheng roared back. He dared not bear this responsibility.
Because this meant that the entire Shen family was ruined.
“You told me to seize every opportunity and to have courage!” Shen Yucheng argued in his defence.
Shen Tianjun stood frozen in place, unable to believe all of this. Regret and despair slowly appeared in his eyes.
It was too sudden.
Even those prominent figures present had not expected things to turn out this way.
This change was too sudden.
The illustrious Shen family, almost the number one family in Yanjing, this massive clan, had collapsed just like that?
For a moment, let alone the Shen family members, even the others present found it somewhat hard to believe.
And anyone with eyes could see that this was absolutely Luo Chen deliberately setting a trap to bring down the Shen family.
With the identities of the richest man and the number one person on the Heavenly Dragon List, he could indeed accomplish this.
“Were you not curious why I stayed in Yanjing?” Luo Chen said mockingly.
“To set foot in your Shen family?”
“To make your Shen family acknowledge me?”
“To gain some benefit from your Shen family?”
“Ridiculous!” Luo Chen shook his head and laughed lightly.
“My purpose, Luo Wuji, is to make your Shen family fall!” Luo Chen sneered coldly.
“How ruthless your heart is!” Shen Tianjun trembled with rage.
They were finished. He had climbed up from the bottom through a lifetime of hard work, the Shen family he had built through a lifetime of struggle, was just gone like this.
How much had he sacrificed?
How much sweat had he shed?
But now, the Shen family was just gone like this?
“Am I ruthless?” Luo Chen asked in return.
“When you forced my parents back then, were you not ruthless?”
“When you forced her and took the business empire from my mother’s hands back then, were you not ruthless?”
“You did not leave her a single penny. She could not even afford medical expenses. Are you ruthless, or am I?”
“What kind of person am I, Luo Wuji?”
“Who dares to take things from my hands?”
“Let alone daring to take things belonging to my closest kin?” Luo Chen laughed loudly.
“What was taken from my mother’s hands must be returned tenfold, a hundredfold!” Luo Chen sneered coldly.
“Shen Tianjun, what kind of person do you think I, Luo Wuji, am?”
“Your Shen family has provoked me again and again. If it were not for my parents being present today, your Shen family would certainly be flowing with rivers of blood today!” Luo Chen’s eyes flickered with cold light.
It was as if the surrounding temperature was about to drop.
“I would like to see whether you dare to touch my Shen family members!” Suddenly a man in military uniform walked over.
He was at the rank of Senior Colonel, and looked very handsome.
He was the third son of the Shen family, Shen Yufeng!
The moment Shen Yufeng appeared, the entire Shen family seemed to find a glimmer of hope again.
“It is not only you who has connections. I have them too.” He was at the rank of Senior Colonel, which counted as the same rank as Luo Chen.
“Did you think you were the only Senior Colonel?”
“Slap!” Luo Chen swung his hand and slapped Shen Yufeng across the face.
He directly slapped Shen Yufeng into a daze.
“You dare to hit me?” Shen Yufeng had clearly not expected that after saying only two sentences, Luo Chen would strike without hesitation.
“So what if I hit you?” Luo Chen asked in return.
“You and I are of the same rank. I can find someone to thoroughly investigate all of this.” Shen Yufeng roared angrily.
“Do you still want to oppose the country?” Shen Yufeng roared again.
“Shen Yufeng, I advise you to shut your mouth right now.”
“Then immediately apologise to General Luo!” Lin Hualong’s voice came through.
And Su Lingchu had also come.
“General Lin, General Su, you must help my Shen family…”
“Shut up!” Su Lingchu rebuked him.
“Did you not hear clearly?”
“General Luo!”
“Do you understand?” Su Lingchu snorted coldly.
“What did you say?” Shen Yufeng looked at Su Lingchu in astonishment.
“Mr. Luo is now a Major General.” Su Lingchu handed over a set of military uniform and insignia to Luo Chen.
Of course there was no grand ceremony. It was still merely an acknowledgement of status and identity given to win Luo Chen over.
As for real power, it would certainly not be given to Luo Chen.
But Luo Chen actually did not care either.
“Major General?” Everyone looked at Luo Chen in shock once again.
Li Jiayi was completely speechless.
Luo Chen had too many identities. Any single one of them was not something the third generation of the Shen family could compare with, let alone something the Shen family members could match.
This was simply too terrifying. The achievements this man possessed, let alone the younger generation, were things many of the older generation could not accomplish.
Shen Yuelan looked at Luo Chen with tears in her eyes. This child truly shocked her too much.
Major General, richest man, number one on the Heavenly Dragon List.
Which one of these was not an extremely dazzling existence?
Which one of these was not a title that would make those of the same generation unable to lift their heads?
This was her son. This was Luo Chen!
Shen Yuelan’s heart held only pride, boundless pride.
Thinking of those who had previously looked down on Luo Chen, Shen Yuelan could not help but find it amusing.
Because they were ants that, after seeing a giant dragon, still dared to look down on the giant dragon.
How ridiculous a thing this was.
The Shen family members looked at Luo Chen and regretted it.
They regretted it completely and thoroughly.
Shen Junze and the younger generation regretted it completely. Just what kind of existence had they provoked before?
With what right did they dare to not take Luo Chen seriously?
With what right did they think they could get Luo Chen killed?
How utterly ridiculous was this?
How dare ants harbour designs on a giant dragon?
Thinking of their previous actions, they felt it was absurd to the extreme.
And the second generation of the Shen family, before Luo Chen had even arrived, had been discussing and looking down on Luo Chen at the Shen family meeting.
Only now did they know just how terrifying the existence they had looked down upon was.
Shen Tianjun was likewise filled with regret, because he had been wrong. Terribly wrong.
Just how terrifying was this grandson of his?
This grandson of his had actually reached such heights.
It was just a pity that regret was now useless, because the Shen family was truly and completely finished.
But right at this moment, a luxury car sped over from the distance. Sitting in the car was Zhou Kai. He had come today to deal with Luo Chen!
