Er Zhu was also startled, and his eyes turned to Old Chen.
A life-saving grace?
When had he ever saved his life?
Although Er Zhu was puzzled, he didn't ask further, because he knew that this was just an excuse Old Chen casually made to protect him.
"Zhao Lin, I'm withdrawing my investment!"
Old Chen's eyes rolled, and he found it difficult to continue fabricating, so he directly stated his intention.
He and Zhao Lin indeed had a deep bond, even going through thick and thin together. If he wanted to favor Er Zhu, then this would be the only reason.
Alas, if he had known Zhao Lin had offended Er Zhu, he would have rather died than returned!
He had always admired Er Zhu, and now that they were collaborating on a project, the various connections made him have no choice but to favor Er Zhu.
Moreover, this might not be favoritism. Zhao Lin had always been arrogant and overbearing, relying on his extensive network and never taking anyone seriously. Many of them, including himself, had long held reservations, but out of consideration for their relationship with Zhao Lin, they had pretended to be oblivious.
Now was a good opportunity to draw a clear line with such a scoundrel, lest his reputation be tarnished by him in the future.
The reputation of a mere martial artist might be insignificant, but for a prominent family, reputation was everything!
With this thought, Old Chen smiled and nodded at Er Zhu, a flicker of gratitude in his eyes.
Er Zhu nodded slightly in return, and his eyes darted, naturally guessing Old Chen's thoughts.
He didn't care about the grievances between Old Chen and Zhao Lin, but he did admire Old Chen's decision.
No wonder Zhao Lin was so confident. It turned out these influential figures all had shares in the Zhao Martial Arts School!
"No, no, no, you can't withdraw your investment. If you do, the Zhao Martial Arts School will be gone!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Zhao Lin's face changed drastically. He ignored his injuries and grabbed Old Chen, pleading with him.
Old Chen was the largest shareholder of the Zhao Martial Arts School. He absolutely could not let him withdraw his investment!
Damn you, Niu Er Mang, who exactly did you provoke? If the martial arts school goes bankrupt, I'll deal with you!
A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Zhao Lin's eyes. He glared angrily at the blue-haired man and others, but it was Niu Er Mang's face that appeared before him.
The blue-haired man and the others shivered in fear, constantly retreating, as if sensing their master's anger.
They had only wanted to avenge their junior brother. Who would have thought things would turn out like this!
"Hurry up and call Niu Er Mang. If he doesn't handle this properly today, don't blame me for breaking his legs!"
The blue-haired man grew more and more enraged as he thought about it. He whispered to his companion next to him.
It was all Niu Er Mang's fault. They were helping him get revenge, but they would absolutely not take the blame for him!
"If it's gone, it's gone. One person can defeat everyone in the martial arts school. What's the point of keeping such a trashy martial arts school? It's a waste of resources!"
As Zhao Lin was about to continue begging, Old Chen forcefully flicked his hand, glanced at everyone, and said mockingly.
Zhao Lin's face turned even uglier. He wanted to retort, but seeing the injured disciple, he had nothing to say.
Er Zhu, standing on the side, looked calm, even sitting down, as if he were merely an onlooker to a show, completely unconcerned about the matter.
"Hurry up and give me the money. I want to start a new project with Er Zhu!"
Seeing Zhao Lin cornered and speechless, Old Chen impatiently urged.
The Chinese medicine factory had only been open for a month, but it had already brought him millions in revenue!
How could he miss out on such a talented individual!
As for Zhao Lin, perhaps he had been blind in the past. This guy was fundamentally a waste!
"Master, Senior Brother!"
Just as Zhao Lin was desperately trying to persuade Old Chen, a familiar voice suddenly came. Upon hearing this voice, Zhao Lin's rage instantly ignited!
"Kneel down quickly and apologize to Er Zhu!"
Zhao Lin kicked Niu Er Mang's knee joint. Niu Er Mang felt a sharp pain in his knee and was forced to kneel facing Er Zhu.
"I'm sorry, it was my fault. I shouldn't have found people to seek revenge. It's all my fault!"
Niu Er Mang's face was ashen. While begging for mercy, he kept slapping his own face.
His senior brother had just told him everything, and only now did he realize who he had provoked!
He had only wanted his senior brothers to help him vent his anger, but he never imagined it would lead to such serious consequences!
The martial arts school was the culmination of his master's life's work. If the school was gone, he would be in deep trouble even if he didn't die!
A flicker of regret flashed in Niu Er Mang's shocked eyes. He kept his head down, lacking the courage to even look at Er Zhu.
"It's not just that one thing you were wrong about, is it?"
Er Zhu glanced at the trembling Niu Er Mang and spoke slowly.
He didn't care much about that particular issue. After all, these trash couldn't even touch a single hair on his head. But since things were going to be settled, they should be settled completely!
So that others wouldn't think he was bullying the weak and snatching Niu Er Mang's farm.
"Ah? What else?"
Niu Er Mang was startled. He feigned ignorance and asked.
Had his senior brothers told him about the things he and his master had discussed? If they had, his master wouldn't have said nothing.
But he, he actually knew!
Niu Er Mang looked at Er Zhu in disbelief. Those ink-black eyes seemed to see through people's hearts!
Impossible, this guy isn't a god. How can he read minds? He's bluffing me!
A sinister smile appeared on Niu Er Mang's lips, as if he had seen through Er Zhu's thoughts.
"Since that's the case, then the Zhao Martial Arts School shall be destroyed."
Er Zhu didn't expect Niu Er Mang to still be hiding things at this point. He looked up at Old Chen and said slowly.
"Hurry up and give me the money. If you don't, don't blame me for being rude!"
Old Chen nodded slightly, grabbed Zhao Lin by the collar, and was utterly exasperated!
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have twisted the facts and slandered you. Please forgive me!"
These words thoroughly frightened Niu Er Mang, who kowtowed to Er Zhu and begged for mercy.
"What do you mean by that? Isn't it true that Er Zhu snatched your territory? Is there another hidden reason?"
Lin Dazhi, the blue-haired man, heard this and suddenly seemed to recall something. He asked angrily.
The others also clenched their fists and took a step forward, ready for a fight.
"No, he paid me, but I didn't take it, and then I attacked him, and then..."
At this point, Niu Er Mang could only tell the truth. Upon hearing all this, Lin Dazhi and the others' faces turned green, wishing they could tear Niu Er Mang apart!
"You damn bastard, you dared to play us for fools!"
With a shout from Lin Dazhi, several senior brothers rushed forward together, followed by the sounds of punches and kicks.
Zhao Lin's expression became even more contorted. His fingers dug deeply into his flesh, and he was so angry he almost fainted!
Damn it, he never expected things to turn out like this!
Zhao Lin thought he was standing up for his disciple, but he didn't realize he had been tricked by his disciple!
"I'm sorry, it's my failure as a teacher, Zhao Lin. I will give you the money now!"
Zhao Lin bowed deeply to Old Chen, then took out his phone.
"Keep the martial arts school, but it will be under my command!"
Just as Zhao Lin took out his phone, Er Zhu suddenly spoke.
