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

"What do you mean?"

Lu Shouyi immediately asked.

"Ha, how stupid."

Chen Yun shook his head, feeling that talking to this kind of person was a complete waste of time.

"Stop trying to fool me! I'll send my men over right now, tens of thousands of them, and they'll crush you in no time!"

Lu Shouyi roared and immediately pulled out his cell phone from his pocket to call various branches.

Yunhe Hall, no one answered!

Linghu Hall, no one answered!

Jinbaotang, no one answered!

......

The more he made the phone call, the heavier Lu Shouyi's heart became.

Finally, in a fit of rage, he smashed his phone on the ground!

Apart from Tiger Roar Hall, none of the eleven other halls answered the phone!

"What on earth is going on?"

Lu Shouyi felt like the whole world had abandoned him!

"Looks like you've finally figured out the situation."

Chen Yun calmly took out a cigarette from his pocket.

"Crack!"

The sound of a lighter rang out, and wisps of smoke billowed from the nostrils.

"You were behind this? What exactly did you do?!"

Lu Shouyi shouted in despair.

All eleven leaders of the branches had fought alongside him all the way, and each of them was a loyal brother.

There's absolutely no way they would betray him at this time; Chen Yun must have done something!

"It's time to send you on your way."

After finishing the last puff of his cigarette, Chen Yun said softly.

"No! You can't kill me!"

"I have tens of thousands of brothers under my command. Something must have happened that delayed them, but they will definitely come!"

"If you dare touch me, they will never let you get away with it!!"

Facing imminent death, Lu Shouyi had completely lost his mind.

He was unwilling to die like this!

Just then, a majestic voice came from outside.

"Lu Shouyi, do you really think that just because you have some men under your command, you can act with impunity in Jiangnan City?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a burly, muscular middle-aged man stepped across the threshold and walked in.

He had regular features, a high nose bridge, walked with a powerful and vigorous gait, and had a physique as imposing as an iron tower!

The moment you step inside, you feel an extremely strong sense of oppression!

Upon seeing this person, Lu Shouyi was immediately shocked and exclaimed, "Emperor Yan... Emperor Yan?"

He felt as if he were hallucinating—that Yan Chengchen, the underground emperor of Hezhou Province, would actually appear in the Tiger Roar Hall!

Just as the political world has clearly defined classes, the underworld naturally has an even more rigid hierarchy.

Jiangnan City is a third-tier city, so Lu Shouyi could only show off his power here.

Hezhou, on the other hand, is a province. In terms of economy, population, and sphere of influence, it is clearly far superior to Jiangnan City.

Despite being kings of the underworld, Lu Shouyi could only grovel before Yan Chengchen.

Several years ago, Yan Chengchen suddenly appeared out of nowhere and subdued all the underground forces in Hezhou Province in just one year, becoming the boss of the underground forces in Hezhou Province.

Over the years, the company has recruited and expanded rapidly, and now has more than 100,000 elite troops at its disposal.

Because of his terrifying strength, he was recognized as the underground emperor of Hezhou Province and was known as the Stern Emperor!

Only at this moment did Lu Shouyi understand everything.

My brothers from all those gangs must have been controlled by Yan Chengchen!

Chen Yun actually managed to get Emperor Yan of Hezhou Province to come to his aid!

Lu Shouyi, clinging to the last shred of hope, forced a smile:

"Your Majesty, I wonder if you have any important business in Jiangnan City?"

"You wouldn't have come forward specifically for this guy surnamed Chen, would you...?"

"Heh, what do you think?"

Yan Chengchen asked in return with a forced smile.

Lu Shouyi's expression changed. "Your Majesty, Jiangnan City is not within your or the province's territory. We keep to ourselves and don't interfere with each other. We're all in the same business. Why ruin our relationship over an outsider like him?"

"outsider?"

Yan Chengchen shook his head, his expression turning cold: "To me, he is not some so-called outsider!"

"Your Majesty, you are a powerful figure in Hezhou Province. How can you be so unethical? If word gets out that you are bullying the weak, it will damage your reputation, won't it?"

"Did he give you money? Well then, just name your price, and I'll pay ten times as much as he offers!"

"No, I'm even willing to bring my twelve gang members to pledge allegiance to you. I can act as your inside man, and with our combined efforts, your influence could even extend beyond Hezhou Province!"

Lu Shouyi racked his brains, trying to come up with all sorts of bargaining chips.

The situation was clearly out of control. If Yan Chengchen didn't defect, his own gang members wouldn't be able to come.

Then Lu Shouyi is really going to die here!

"Money? Power? Ha, Lu Shouyi, you still don't understand the situation."

Yan Chengchen felt that the guy in front of him was really too stupid. "How can my relationship with him be measured by money and power?"

The next moment, he slowly walked to Chen Yun's side, then knelt on one knee and said loudly:

"Your Majesty, your subordinate Yan Chengchen is late. Please punish me!"

His expression was respectful, and his voice, though loud, concealed a deep excitement, as if being there was an honor for him!

Upon seeing this, Lu Shouyi finally couldn't help but gasp.

This, how is this possible?

The powerful and ruthless Emperor Yan of Hezhou Province, who holds the power of life and death over countless people and kills without blinking an eye!

He actually knelt down before Chen Yun!

Moreover, he actually referred to himself as a subordinate.

The ordinary-looking Chen Yun in front of me is actually Yan Huang's boss!

“I am no longer the Dragon Emperor, you don’t need to call me that.”

Chen Yun simply shook his head calmly, refusing Yan Chengchen's address.

"...Then, may I still call you Boss?"

Yan Chengchen asked cautiously, his tone tinged with anticipation.

"can."

Chen Yun responded with a faint "yes".

Upon hearing this, Yan Chengchen's brows and eyes instantly relaxed, and a small joy appeared on his face, like a child who had been praised.

This title made him feel as if he had returned to those years when they fought side by side...

"Boss, after receiving your call, I brought a total of 40,000 men to Jiangnan City."

"Currently, all 10,043 people from the twelve branches, including the branch leaders and deputy leaders, have been surrounded and subdued by us."

"Now, you can annihilate us at any time with just one order!"

Yan Chengchen's tone carried a hint of murderous intent.

Annihilate them all!!

Hearing these four words sent chills down Lu Shouyi's spine; he felt as if his soul had been emptied out.

The brothers who had fought alongside him for so many years were all subdued in an instant.

That's a whopping tens of thousands of people!!
