Chapter 219

As soon as Park Gwan-soo finished speaking, a look of shock appeared on everyone’s faces simultaneously.

This Assemblyman Park... he really gives off a bad vibe!

It’s like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows, staring at you fixedly at every moment.

The moment you reveal a weak spot, he will immediately spring into the air and bite down on you fiercely, refusing to let go.

But it must be said, his words just now earned the unanimous nod of everyone present.

Although Park Gwan-soo’s rhetoric was vicious, it suited the group’s tastes perfectly.

Because it was precisely Chen Daojun who had made them so miserable; living every day while watching Chen Daojun bask in success felt like having their dignity trampled upon at every turn.

Especially for Chen Xingjun and Li Kangxi.

Chen Xingjun, who should have been rising step by step to hold supreme power, was living so humbly and without dignity precisely because of Chen Daojun.

Li Kangxi, an editor-in-chief who should have been the center of attention and adoration, had ended up physically disabled and unable to even speak just because of one article he wrote.

"Then, in your opinion, Assemblyman Park, how should we deal with that little beast next?"

It was the two brothers, Chen Yongji and his brother, who spoke.

"Rest assured, Assemblyman Park’s capabilities are formidable. If it weren't for the help of that bitch Cui Youzhen this time, that brat Chen Daojun would never have been able to turn things around so quickly."

"And just now, that bitch even held a divorce agreement and forced me to sign it."

Even though Zhang Shijun had been suppressed so ruthlessly by the combined efforts of Chen Daojun and Cui Youzhen, he still wanted to put up a desperate, stubborn resistance like a cockroach that refuses to die.

He had enjoyed such a smooth and prosperous life under Cui Youzhen’s patronage for so long; he simply couldn't bring himself to live like a dog from now on.

So, he shamelessly abandoned the dignity a person should have to contact Park Gwan-soo, delusional in his hope that Park Gwan-soo could avenge him.

"Your wife was snatched away by Chen Daojun too?" Chen Xingjun asked, looking at Zhang Shijun hesitantly.

"That’s right! It was Chen... wait, what do you mean 'too'?"

Zhang Shijun’s eyes rolled slightly, and he realized it immediately: they were just two men sharing the same miserable fate.

But such disgraceful matters were better left unsaid.

The two men looked at each other in silence, and from then on until the meeting ended, they didn't mention a word about their wives.

"It’s good that you signed."

"Once you sign, your revenge can be had."

Park Gwan-soo patted Zhang Shijun on the shoulder.

"What do you mean?"

Zhang Shijun felt that Park Gwan-soo’s expression today carried a strange, subtle undertone.

And the things he said only rubbed salt into the wounds of these victims.

"This is the plan I am about to discuss."

"Assemblyman Park, I advise you to say what you have to say quickly; I have never been a patient man."

Chen Xingjun, his face pained as if recalling some unbearable past, spoke to Park Gwan-soo with a hostile expression.

Park Gwan-soo was snapped at by this junior, Chen Xingjun, and his expression immediately became unnatural.

Chen Yongji hurriedly smoothed things over: "Xingjun, take it easy. One day, that brat Chen Daojun will pay the price."

Afterward, Chen Yongji said to Park Gwan-soo: "Assemblyman Park, please continue."

Only then did Park Gwan-soo’s expression improve; he took a sip of the tea in front of him and continued.

"Chen Yongji, Chen Dongji, families like yours should have gatherings often, right?"

"We do."

"It’s just that ever since the incident with Xingjun, we rarely organize such gatherings anymore."

"Besides, we don't want to see Chen Daojun’s smug, villainous face, so we rarely meet."

Upon hearing Chen Yongji say there would be gatherings, Park Gwan-soo automatically ignored the nonsense he said afterward.

"My plan is for you two brothers to organize a family gathering, and it would be best to call your sister Chen Huarong as well..."

"We have to call her too?" Chen Yongji interrupted Park Gwan-soo with suspicion.

"Yes!"

Park Gwan-soo’s tone rose significantly: "After calling your sister Chen Huarong, notify Chen Daojun to attend this family gathering under the pretext of discussing corporate matters."

"That’s easy to do, but what if he doesn't come?" Chen Dongji added.

"Of course, this reason alone is not enough. At that time, you must also indicate that you intend to submit to Chen Daojun."

"I believe Chen Daojun will not refuse such a good opportunity to subjugate you."

"Most importantly, you must make Chen Daojun bring his girlfriends to the venue we have decided upon for the family gathering."

"When the time comes, we will arrange for assassins to wipe them all out in one fell swoop."

"This way, the great grudges of those of us sitting here will not only be avenged, but it will be done once and for all; there will never be a person named Chen Daojun in this world again."

A look of madness burned in the depths of Park Gwan-soo’s eyes, and his expression even became slightly ferocious and twisted.

Park Gwan-soo was playing a high-stakes gamble.

He was betting that the people sitting here harbored monstrous rage toward Chen Daojun, so that his plan could proceed as he intended.

Even the act of deliberately inciting the anger of Chen Xingjun and Li Kangxi just now was to pave the way for this moment.

Only by pushing these people’s emotions to an extreme would they be of use to him.

They would willingly become the stepping stones on his path to becoming the President of South Korea.

As Park Gwan-soo’s words fell, everyone’s expressions changed drastically in an instant.

Hearing Park Gwan-soo’s tone, it seemed he intended to kill Chen Daojun. If it were killing an ordinary person...

The group wouldn't have been this surprised; after all, what heinous things haven't chaebols done? But the person to be killed was Chen Daojun, the heir to the Sunyang Group.

This dealt a shock to their inner hearts.

Even Li Kangxi, who could now only make "aba-aba" sounds, had shock in his eyes; he hadn't expected Park Gwan-soo to be so ruthless, to actually think of murder.

But Chen Xingjun’s expression carried a hint of madness: Park Gwan-soo’s plan was to kill Chen Daojun? That dog’s good days were coming to an end!

If he still had hands, he would definitely applaud this plan! Chen Xingjun licked his lips with his tongue, his eyes filled with bloodthirsty madness.

"You’re crazy!! This is murder!"

Chen Yongji suddenly felt a bit of regret in his heart; was cooperating with such a madman really the right decision?

Although, given the capabilities of everyone present, killing someone and disposing of the body was absolutely no problem.

But Chen Daojun was Chen Yangzhe’s favorite grandson.

To so blatantly invite Chen Daojun out under their own names and then kill him—wouldn't that be a bit like the ambition of Sima Zhao, obvious to everyone?

"Is what that little beast has done even human?"

Park Gwan-soo lifted his eyelids to look at Chen Xingjun and Li Kangxi, the meaning in his eyes self-evident.

"That won't do either!" Chen Yongji refused without hesitation.

"Although I also wish for this dog Chen Daojun to disappear from this world completely, I will absolutely not be the one to do it."

"Are you afraid?"

Park Gwan-soo hadn't expected that the first to back down would be Chen Yongji. His own son had been turned into a ghost of a man by Chen Daojun, yet he didn't dare to take action against him.

"Yes, I am afraid!"

Chen Yongji gritted his teeth and said helplessly: "If the Old Man finds out that Chen Daojun died at our hands, everyone sitting here will be buried with that dog!"

"Don't think that just because the Old Man has retreated behind the scenes, he is truly deaf to the world outside."

Deep down, Chen Yongji was still very afraid of Chen Yangzhe.

After Chen Yongji finished speaking, the expressions of the group changed again!

That’s right, behind that brat Chen Daojun stood the great Buddha, Chen Yangzhe.

Zhang Shijun was also very shocked to hear that Park Gwan-soo wanted to kill Chen Daojun, but it was followed by ecstasy.

As long as Chen Daojun died, Cui Youzhen would surely return to his side obediently, and then he could use Cui Youzhen’s influence to propel himself back to the presidency.

Before his ecstasy lasted even three seconds, he heard Chen Yongji’s words, and his heart became uneasy again.

On second thought, he originally had no grudge against Chen Daojun; it was just that his wife had been snatched away.

It wasn't worth risking his life for a woman.

"Why don't we think of another way! This matter, as Chen Yongji said, really carries a lot of risk. If we aren't careful, we’ll all be dragged into it!"

"Hmph!"

Chen Xingjun’s shrill voice rang out.

"If you’re afraid of death, get out."

Hearing this, Zhang Shijun’s face changed drastically, and he clenched his hands into fists.

"I’m just trying to find a safer way; how does that make me afraid of death in your mouth?"

"If I didn't want to kill that dog, would I have contacted this group of people?"

Zhang Shijun looked coldly at Chen Xingjun’s pathetic state, and a sense of pleasure suddenly welled up in his heart.

Even though his woman was snatched away, he at least hadn't lost any arms or legs, and his roots were still firmly attached.

Unlike this greenhorn, who had been left with nothing by Chen Daojun.

The sensitive and suspicious Chen Xingjun saw the look in Zhang Shijun’s eyes and understood that this person must be mocking him in his heart.

A strange and eerie atmosphere began to spread between Zhang Shijun and Chen Xingjun.

"You..."

Chen Yongji hurriedly pulled his son, soothing his emotions.

"We gathered here today because of that dog Chen Daojun. Calm down. I think Zhang Shijun is right; Assemblyman Park’s method is truly inappropriate."

"You know what your grandfather is like—ruthless and vicious."

"Father!"

"Chen Daojun turned me into a cripple; my life is ruined like this."

Chen Xingjun’s eyes were blood-red, and the feeling of anger was about to drown him.

"I haven't wanted to live for a long time."

"I only have one wish now, and that is to make him die—"

Chen Xingjun gritted his back teeth fiercely: "As long as Chen Daojun can die in front of me, even if I have to go down with him, I won't regret it."

"Xingjun..."

As a man, how could Chen Yongji not know the pain and despair in his son’s heart?

If the Old Man hadn't intervened, he probably would have sent people to secretly kill Chen Daojun long ago.

It was precisely because the Old Man was still alive that he could only bury this humiliation and pain deep in his heart.

Chen Yongji was also in great pain for not being able to avenge his son.

"Father, agree to Assemblyman Park!"

Chen Xingjun’s tone revealed pleading: "Just do it for me, please!"

Hearing his son’s plea, Chen Yongji’s eyes held complex emotions, and his heart was filled with hesitation.

Just as the atmosphere fell into a stalemate again, Park Gwan-soo said: "Yongji!"

"Your worries are not wrong; if Chen Daojun dies, the Old Man will certainly be angry, perhaps even fly into a rage."

Park Gwan-soo lowered his eyes slightly to hide the viciousness in them from the group, and as if nothing were wrong, he gently rotated his teacup with his fingertips: "But have you ever thought that as long as Chen Daojun is dead, no matter how angry the Old Man is, it will be useless, because in his twilight years, he will have to rely on you."

"Most importantly, the Sunyang Group will still be yours."

These few words from Park Gwan-soo were undoubtedly like throwing a giant boulder into a calm lake.

It stirred up a surge in the hearts of the group, and some evil thoughts began to sprout like bamboo shoots after the rain.

Park Gwan-soo had reached his current position by manipulating human hearts, and he could be said to be a master at it.

He was very good at finding the most fragile parts of a person’s heart to strike.

Park Gwan-soo was very satisfied with the expressions of Chen Yongji and the others, and continued: "I just want to kill this little beast; he got in my way and threatened my interests."

"Whoever stands in my way, I will make them die!"

"As for the affairs within your Sunyang Group, I have no interest in interfering!"

Everyone present was a shrewd person; Park Gwan-soo said he had no interest, but after this, they would all be grasshoppers on the same string.
