After the divorce, the CEO's ex-wife deeply regretted her actions.

"Uncle, what did that man surnamed Chen mean? What exactly did he do to you?" Rong Chengtian finally realized something was wrong and hurriedly asked.

Rong Qiuhe shook his head calmly and pulled Rong Chengtian to a corner in front of everyone.

"What, what does this mean?"

"Why can't we say it to each other's faces?"

"Why is Mr. Chen so confident? Could it be that he has made some kind of deal with Director Rong Qiuhe in private?"

Whispers began to ripple from the audience.

It's no wonder they had such suspicions; Rong Qiuhe and Rong Chengtian's actions at this moment were simply too strange...

Standing there, He Wen'an felt increasingly heavy-hearted. After thinking it over and over again, he immediately shouted, "Wait! Director Rong, what exactly are you and Young Master Rong saying that we can't hear?"

"Could it be that you secretly made a deal with someone to deliberately scam us?!"

“That’s right!” The other people standing around chimed in, “Mr. He is right, Young Master Rong. We’re all in the same boat now. What can’t we say to each other?”

"Yes! We're all on the same side now, with a common enemy. We should at least speak our minds and listen to each other!"

Faced with the pressure exerted on Rong Chengtian by several people, the audience below the stage watched with great interest. Rong Chengtian's face was gloomy, and he wanted to refute, but Rong Qiuhe next to him grabbed his shoulder hard and kept giving him meaningful glances.

Rong Chengtian knew that his uncle was telling him not to act impulsively—this matter must not be said in public!

Thinking of this, Rong Chengtian suppressed his anger as much as possible and shouted at the others present, "Can't you guys use your brains? If I agreed, I'd have to come up with a full 700 million myself. What kind of deal is worth a full 700 million??"

"Even you understand such a simple principle as 'if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold,' how could I not understand it?"

Hearing Rong Chengtian's rebuttal, whispers broke out again from below the stage.

Yang Tiancheng looked at Zhang Bao thoughtfully and said, "Aren't you overthinking it? I think Rong Chengtian is right. Regardless of whether his uncle has reached a deal with Chen Yun, he still has to come up with 700 million. And once he pays this amount, it means that at least one plot of land in the Changhong Bay project will be acquired by the Cheng family... Such a huge loss is definitely unacceptable to Rong Chengtian."

Zhang Bao shook his head: "What you said does make some sense, but I still don't agree... Since it's a transaction, there are bound to be areas for negotiation. What if they can reach an agreement? You can't be sure about many things just by feeling."

Then, Zhang Bao turned to He Wen'an, who had also stood up beside him, and instructed, "You absolutely cannot back down. Rong Chengtian must provide a concrete guarantee. I think there's probably something wrong with this matter—haven't you realized it yet? The Cheng family isn't stupid, and neither is that pretty boy Cheng Qingyue on the other side!"

"Since they are so confident in playing this game with you, they must be certain of victory—remember, you have already lost. The only thing you need to do now is to recoup your losses from Rong Chengtian!"

We've already lost!

He Wen'an was shocked. He reviewed the whole incident in his mind and eventually had to agree with what Zhang Bao said.

Even though he still couldn't figure out what kind of deal Rong Qiuhe, the department head, could possibly make with Chen Yun, it was always better to be safe than sorry...

Seeing that no one objected, Rong Chengtian snorted coldly and was about to follow Rong Qiuhe to a secluded corner.

Then, He Wen'an's loud shout was heard:

"stop!"

Rong Chengtian paused, then turned around impatiently: "What exactly do you want?"

He Wen'an shouted, "This game involves our dignity and interests. Do you think you can make us believe you with just a few bland words?"

"I'm telling you, you must give us a substantial promise today, otherwise, we will absolutely not allow you to leave!"

"Mr. He is right, you must give us a promise!"

"That's right! Who knows if you're in cahoots with someone and deliberately set us up!"

"One hundred million each, or we won't agree!"

Rong Chengtian's face was ashen, his eyes bloodshot: "Bullshit! Do I need your permission to do what I want? Let me tell you, I didn't force you to participate in this game, so why should I guarantee you anything? You want a hundred million from me? Don't you all take a good look in the mirror!"

"If you've got the guts, then quit right now and show me!!"

Rong Chengtian roared, as if he had lost his mind.

The standing group looked at each other, and finally their gazes turned to Chen Yun, who was standing behind them.

He Wen'an hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and asked, "Mr. Chen, we did agree to participate in this game, but since it's a game, shouldn't fairness be guaranteed?"

"If Rongcheng Tianzhen has some kind of deal with you behind the scenes, wouldn't it be too unfair for us to continue this game?"

"We demand that you make Rong Chengtian give a commitment, otherwise we will not agree to continue!"

Seeing someone speak up, others couldn't help but chime in: "I think Mr. He is right. We should at least ensure that this game is fair!"

"Yes, we must at least eliminate any suspicion of cheating in this game, otherwise we absolutely will not agree to continue!"

"Mr. Chen, you are indeed capable, but we are not a bunch of useless people. If you cannot guarantee fairness, then I'm leaving now! This auction is better off not continuing!"

"Should we agree to their request?"

The people opposite her were aggressive and united in their hatred of the enemy, which made Cheng Qingyue hesitate a little.

Chen Yun glanced at Cheng Qingyue calmly, without saying a word.

Then, his gaze swept over the people standing there, his voice indifferent: "Fairness? Have you all lost your minds?"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the room held their breath for a moment.

Without giving anyone a chance to react, Chen Yun continued, "Do you need me to help you recall why you participated in this game in the first place? If you hadn't said those inappropriate things, would things have gotten to this point? Most of the people here are seated, so why was I the one who called you out?"

The people standing there froze, speechless.

"According to you, if Rong Chengtian agrees to give me 700 million, then it means I colluded with him to set a trap for you; if he doesn't agree to give me 700 million, then you win, and it's fair?"

"Do you think I'm stupid? Or do you think I wouldn't dare to lay a hand on you?"
