“That’s right. You’re not just representing yourself now, but the entire Zhou Corporation. If Old Master Zhou finds out that you’re willing to sacrifice the Zhou family’s reputation for decades for a woman, he’ll be so disappointed in you.”

The man, who was also an elder, advised Zhou Xuan, “This isn’t the only press conference. We can discuss any problems, but if you do this, you’ll be making an enemy of the entire Federation’s Central City.”

“Thank you for your warning, uncles. I know very well what I’m doing. Everyone in the Federation knows what kind of person I, Zhou Xuan, am. Since I’ve already done such a thing, I must have my reasons.”

Zhou Xuan was unmoved. “Today’s matter is no small matter. It’s far more complicated than it looks. If I miss this opportunity today, I’m afraid it will be difficult to punish the bad guys. Therefore, even if I offend everyone, 1 can’t let anyone leave this place.”

“President Zhou found a good reason. Seeing that his plan with Shan Yue had been exposed, he couldn’t resist the bright eyes of the public, so he came up with this plan to brush it off.”

At first, Lang Nan was also a little flustered, but now, he was very disdainful. “You make it sound good. Who’s the bad person? Who are you going to punish? In the end, it’s just an excuse to absolve yourselves. It’s still a big problem if we can walk out alive later.”

“Don’t you know who the bad person is, Deputy Governor Lang? You know best what you’ve done all these years.”

Zhou Xuan said bluntly, almost putting the word “bad guy” on Lang Nan’s head. “But it doesn’t matter. If you can’t remember, there’s someone who can help you recall it. If Deputy Governor Lang really has a clear conscience, why do you care about waiting a little longer?”

Although Zhou Xuan said that, Lang Nan was very sure that it was impossible for Shan Yue to come back alive. Then the only person who could still pose a threat to him was Cheng Yan, who had yet to appear.

However, Lang Nan had already thought of a corresponding plan. Coupled with the pressure of power and money, he would not be blamed in the end.

“No problem. I can wait for you. I want to see what you can make, President Zhou.”

Lang Nan had an indifferent attitude and sat back in his seat with a calm expression. “But let me make things clear first. If we still don’t get any results or feedback later, I wonder if President Zhou is willing to pay the corresponding price for your actions and accept the law’s punishment?”

“Of course. An upright person is naturally not afraid of a slanted shadow. I promise you.” Zhou Xuan raised his eyebrows, his expression full of confidence. “However, Deputy Governor Lang, why don’t you worry more about yourself? I hope you can still have your current mentality and leisurely tone later.”

As for the others, most of them had some relationship with Zhou Xuan or business dealings. Relying on their relationship, it was not to the extent of anger.

The remaining few people dared to be angry but did not dare to say anything. In terms of ability, they could not compare to Zhou Xuan, and their status in the business world was not high. In terms of status, they could not compare to Lang Nan. Since Lang Nan had decided to continue waiting, they had nothing to say.

The main reason was that everyone only had one bodyguard with them. Even if they called all the bodyguards outside the venue in, it would not be enough to successfully send them out.

In that case, they might as well choose to be a fence sitter and follow most people’s choices in peace.

However, the situation outside the venue was also very serious. The bodyguards of the various bosses were approaching the door step by step, forming a stalemate with Zhou Xuan’s men.

Under Zhou Xuan’s pressure, the venue slowly returned to silence. Everyone returned to their seats.

Although they did not say anything, they still had a new opinion of Zhou Xuan. After all, his actions had long exceeded the scope of people’s understanding of him and even threatened their personal freedom..
