Chapter 55: Chen Bing Intends to Kill!

"Damn you!"

"Believe it or not, I'll crack your skull and crap all over it!"

The two security guards struggled to their feet, glaring at Chen Hao with fury burning in their eyes. Brandishing their batons once more, they lunged forward aggressively.

With nimble agility, Chen Hao effortlessly dodged their strikes and, in a flash, landed precise blows on their vital pressure points.

Piercing, pig-like screams erupted from their mouths as they collapsed to the ground, writhing in agony.

"Stop right there!"

At that exact moment, a stern voice rang out.

A gloomy-faced man walked forward with steady strides. It was none other than Chen Bing, the head of Dachang Group.

As it turned out, someone had already rushed to inform Chen Bing of the commotion outside.

He had hurried over, arriving just in time to defuse the tense, hair-trigger situation.

"Chairman Chen!"

"Chairman Chen!"

"Chairman Chen!"

"..."

The front desk receptionists and other employees of Dachang Group greeted him with the utmost respect.

"Chen Hao!"

"What is the meaning of this?"

Chen Bing's eyes were icy, his tone laced with chilling interrogation.

"I merely came here to see you!"

"However, not only did your subordinates try to block my entry, but they also ran their mouths. So I taught them a little lesson!"

Chen Hao replied with complete composure.

"What on earth do you want with me?"

Chen Bing persisted, his voice remaining cold.

"Heh!"

"Chairman Chen, your memory is truly as short as a noble's!"

"Have you completely forgotten the wager we made not long ago?"

Chen Hao smiled. As those words dropped, the surrounding Dachang Group employees immediately began whispering among themselves.

"What?"

"The rumors about Chairman Chen placing a bet with someone are actually true?"

"Could Chairman Chen really have lost fifty percent of Dachang Real Estate's shares to someone else?"

"Is this the person who won half of Dachang Real Estate from Chairman Chen?"

In truth, rumors regarding the wager between Chen Bing, the head of Dachang Group, and Chen Hao had already spread like wildfire throughout the company.

Many Dachang employees had caught wind of it.

However, since Chen Hao had never set foot in the group before, most people took the rumors with a grain of salt, suspecting it might just be idle gossip rather than reality.

It was only today, when Chen Hao suddenly appeared and brought up the bet himself, that everyone realized the rumors were not groundless at all, but absolute fact.

Hearing Chen Hao publicly dredge up the wager, Chen Bing's expression darkened instantly, as if overcast by storm clouds.

"This is no place to talk!" he said coldly. "Come inside with me!"

Chen Hao smiled faintly and followed right behind him.

In a matter of moments, Chen Hao stepped into the spacious office alongside Chen Bing.

Chen Bing immediately slammed the office door shut, creating a barrier that cut off the outside world.

"Chen Hao," Chen Bing said, his face livid as he stared daggers at Chen Hao. "What are you really trying to pull?"

Chen Hao merely offered a slight smile.

"Your question is a bit baffling."

"We made that wager with Uncle Qiu, Uncle Sheng, and others as witnesses, and you lost."

"According to our agreement, you already transferred fifty percent of Dachang Real Estate's shares to me."

"My coming here today is simply to honor the agreement and take over the management of Dachang Real Estate."

Chen Hao's tone was calm and resolute.

"I admit that I lost this round," Chen Bing said, his expression grim. "But Dachang Real Estate is the culmination of my father's lifelong hard work and dedication."

"I cannot simply sit back and watch my father's legacy fall into the hands of an outsider."

His voice carried absolute determination. "How about this? I am willing to pay you one hundred million Hong Kong dollars."

"In exchange, you will transfer that fifty percent stake in Dachang Real Estate back to me."

Chen Bing proposed in a deep voice.

Back then, witnessed by heavyweights like Xiang Zhiqiu and Guo Desheng, he had been forced to hand over half of Dachang Real Estate's equity to Chen Hao.

Now, with those influential figures absent, Chen Bing hoped to seize the opportunity to buy back that fifty percent stake for a mere one hundred million Hong Kong dollars.

"Heh!" Chen Hao sneered. "Mr. Chen, you certainly know how to run a profitable calculation!"

"As everyone knows, Dachang Real Estate's current market value exceeds 1.8 billion Hong Kong dollars, meaning a fifty percent stake is worth well over 900 million."

"And you expect to redeem that half for a measly one hundred million?"

Chen Hao retorted coldly. "Isn't that calculation a bit too clever?"

"Hmph!" Chen Bing snapped angrily. "You get one hundred million without lifting a finger—don't push your luck!"

"That hundred million is more than enough for you to live a life of luxury!"

Chen Bing finished with a cold sneer.

"What do you mean by pushing my luck?" Chen Hao replied indifferently.

"Don't forget, you lost half the equity of Dachang Real Estate to me fair and square."

"Coming to claim what is rightfully mine is only natural."

"If you want to buy back your fifty percent share of Dachang Real Estate, I have no objections."

Chen Hao's gaze remained tranquil as water. "We can trade fairly at the current market value. Just pay me 900 million Hong Kong dollars, and I will return the equity immediately."

Facing Chen Bing's furious, glaring eyes, Chen Hao's expression did not change in the slightest.

"Do you think I'm making exorbitant demands?"

"Is it really that outrageous?"

"I am simply taking back what belongs to me."

"If you cannot scrape together the 900 million Hong Kong dollars to buy back the shares, then I will officially take the helm of Dachang Real Estate."

Chen Hao's words left no room for negotiation.

"Are you certain you want to play this card?"

Chen Bing locked his blazing eyes onto Chen Hao.

"Without a doubt!"

Chen Hao met his gaze unflinchingly and gave his answer.

"You'll live to regret the decision you made today!"

Gleaming with resentment, Chen Bing glared at Chen Hao one last time before storming out of the office and slamming the door behind him.

A cold smile tugged at the corner of Chen Hao's mouth. He had already sensed the hidden murderous intent beneath Chen Bing's gaze just moments before.

Even before setting foot in this place, he had anticipated such a scenario.

Dachang Real Estate was the crown jewel of Dachang Group, holding an irreplaceable position.

Once Chen Hao seized control of Dachang Real Estate, it would be equivalent to gripping the very heart of Dachang Group.

With Dachang Real Estate currently valued at over 1.8 billion, a fifty percent stake represented assets worth more than 900 million.

Just imagine—faced with such an astronomical fortune, anyone stripped of control would inevitably feel ripples of resentment and find it difficult to simply hand it over to someone else.

Therefore, Chen Bing developing murderous intentions toward him was entirely within his expectations!

Yet, Chen Hao felt no fear.

Since he had resolved to carve out his own empire in Hong Kong, he was bound to face all sorts of potential crises and challenges.

Cowering now would only hinder his future footing and growth in this city.

Composed and steady, he walked out of Chen Bing's office and headed toward the reception desk in the lobby. Facing the receptionist, he firmly delivered his final message.

"Please inform Chen Bing that I will personally take over Dachang Real Estate tomorrow!"
