The five entrepreneurs who did not express their opinion were even less likely to take sides at this time.

A real estate tycoon slowly said, "Master Sun, my company's loans are related to several projects. I need to go back and discuss the termination of the cooperation with the shareholders."

Another jeweler immediately chimed in: "We are too involved with more than forty stores under the Longsheng Group to give you an answer today."

"Me too."

"The company doesn't belong to me alone. The board of directors won't agree to terminate the contract rashly."

"Please give us some time, Patriarch Sun."

The five people expressed their opinions one after another, their attitudes even more resolute than before.

Sun Qingliang's expression grew increasingly grim, yet he was unable to force the issue.

He just suffered a great loss at Shen Ze's hands.

Continuing to threaten them now will only make them more uneasy.

As for the eleven wealthy individuals who just stepped forward, they were no longer as enthusiastic as before.

Cao Jinhai lowered his head, secretly wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, and began to think about how to salvage his relationship with Longsheng Group.

At the entrance to the main hall, Sun Mei clenched her fists tightly.

Her nails were digging into her palms, and her body was trembling with rage.

Three hundred billion!

Shen Ze, that bastard, has a net worth that has exceeded 300 billion!

The father summoned business tycoons from Longdu, intending to deliver a fatal blow to him.

But before the Sun family could even launch their counterattack, he had already severed their most important sales channel!

With an annual cash flow of over a billion yuan, even the Jianjun Group in the past would have suffered a major blow.

Moreover, so many of the Sun family's businesses rely on this money to keep operating.

If inventory cannot be sold, and both distributors and suppliers come knocking, the losses will only increase.

What Sun Mei found most unacceptable was her father's attitude just now.

The Sun family patriarch, who was the undisputed leader in Longdu, actually humbled himself before Shen Ze and fawned over him in front of so many people!

"Why should I...?"

Sun Mei's lips trembled, her resentment almost clouding her reason.

"He killed Congcong, so why is he still alive and well?"

"He seized control of Jianjun Group and caused the Sun family to lose over a billion yuan!"

"Why wasn't he the one who suffered retribution?"

The thought of her son turning to ashes felt like a knife being ripped from her heart.

Shen Cong was only in his early twenties.

He was supposed to inherit Jianjun Group and become a billionaire envied by everyone.

But now, the group is gone, and his son is dead.

Shen Ze, however, possesses assets of 300 billion yuan and stands at the highest point in the business world, able to decide the life and death of countless companies with a mere flick of his wrist!

Extreme resentment and bitterness surged wildly in Sun Mei's heart. She wished she could rush to Shanghai immediately and tear Shen Ze to pieces!

But she was also afraid.

The Jianjun Group has been easily destroyed by the enemy.

Even the Sun family suffered heavy losses in their first direct confrontation.

Given her current status and abilities, there's no way she could possibly harm Shen Ze.

A crazy idea suddenly popped into Sun Mei's mind.

What Shen Ze cares about most is his mother who died many years ago, isn't it?

Over the years, he has been plotting revenge against the Shen and Sun families, and everything he has done is for Xu Ying.

Since we can't find Shen Ze, let's dig up Xu Ying's ashes!

She wanted to smash the urn with her own hands and scatter that woman's ashes to the winds!

She wanted Shen Ze to experience the pain of not being able to find peace even after the death of a loved one!

Sun Mei's eyes were bloodshot, and her fists clenched tighter and tighter.

"Shen Ze, you killed my son! I will never let you get away with this!"

Her voice was very low, and only a few people nearby could hear it.

"Aren't you most concerned about Xu Ying?"

"I'll make sure she never rests in peace, even in death!"

Just as Sun Mei was filled with resentment and plotting how to take revenge, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside the main hall.

Everyone instinctively turned to look.

Shen Jianjun rushed into the main hall in a panic, breathing rapidly, his forehead covered in sweat.

He was running so fast that he slipped and nearly fell as he entered the hall.

The expressions on the faces of the wealthy people present became subtle when they saw him.

They all naturally knew this former chairman of Jianjun Group.

In the past, Shen Jianjun was worth hundreds of billions and was always the focus of attention at any business event he attended.

Many people even went to Shanghai on their own initiative, just to ask him for a chance to cooperate.

But now, Jianjun Group has gone completely bankrupt.

Shen Jianjun's villa, vehicles, shares, and savings were all auctioned off, leaving him to live with the Sun family and maintain a semblance of dignity with a few marginal properties given to him by his father-in-law.

"He played a winning hand terribly."

A tycoon lowered his voice: "He started from scratch and built a multi-billion dollar conglomerate, but in the end, he lost everything."

"What do you mean by starting from scratch?"

The person next to him sneered: "Without Xu Ying enduring hardship with him back then, and without the Sun family's later support, would he be where he is today?"

"He had his wife by his side during his business venture, but after he became successful, he abandoned his wife and children."

"Later, he relied on the Sun family to expand the group, but in the end, he still squandered all the family fortune."

"Without the support of his family, he is nothing."

Several hushed whispers reached Shen Jianjun's ears.

He paused, his face turning from red to white.

In the past, whenever these people met him, they would all offer him their business cards and toast him.

Now they dare to discuss his failures to his face.

But he didn't dare to refute a single word, because what they said was true.

He was no longer the chairman of the prestigious conglomerate, but a homeless, destitute bankrupt man living under someone else's roof.

Sun Qingliang was already seething with anger, and seeing Shen Jianjun's flustered appearance, his face darkened even more.

"stop!"

A sharp shout made Shen Jianjun's body stiffen abruptly.

Sun Qingliang, leaning on his cane, angrily rebuked, "There are so many guests sitting here, and you rushed in in such a panic, what kind of behavior is this?"

"People in their fifties and sixties are at a loss when faced with the slightest problem!"

"No wonder the Jianjun Group was defeated by you!"

"I gave you so much help, and the Sun family solved countless problems for you, yet in the end you couldn't even keep the company you founded!"

"Impulsive, foolish, and beyond redemption!"

"With your current state, even if you were given a multi-billion dollar conglomerate, you'd still squander it all!"

Publicly reprimanding him was like slapping Shen Jianjun across the face.

The wealthy man in the main hall remained silent, but his gaze towards him was clearly one of disdain.

Shen Jianjun lowered his head and pursed his lips tightly.

He felt bitter inside, but could only bear it silently.

After losing Jianjun Group, he didn't even have the right to talk back.

Moreover, what Sun Qingliang said was not entirely unreasonable.

Xu Ying certainly deserves half the credit for the founding of the army group back then.

During the most difficult time of starting his business, Xu Ying accompanied him as he traveled around, selling jewelry to fill the funding gap.

However, after the group grew in size, he looked down on Xu Ying because of her ordinary background and thought she couldn't contribute much to the business.

After Sun Mei appeared, he abandoned his wife without hesitation and kicked the mother and son out of the house.

Xu Ying suffered greatly and ultimately died a tragic death.

As a child, Shen Ze was left to wander outside, but his father never truly cared about him.

Later, the Sun family continued to provide funds and connections, which enabled Jianjun Group to grow to a scale of hundreds of billions.

Yet he still squandered all his family fortune.

Xu Ying's son is now worth over 300 billion, while he himself has nothing.

Perhaps this is retribution!
