Li Guangyu smiled and patted his shoulder, saying simply, "Let's go in and take a look." As soon as he finished speaking, he and Yang Shuo took the lead and walked into the building. Zhou Qi and Li Jiaxin looked at each other and followed them in.

As soon as they arrived in front of the building, a group of people came out in big strides. The leader was Tang Junnian, and Tang Jiacheng, who followed closely behind him, had an angry face, as if he wanted to pounce on Zhou Qi. It was not difficult to see from Tang Jiacheng's expression that he was full of resentment towards Zhou Qi. The people following behind them were obviously middle and senior management personnel of the Tang Group.

Li Guangyu was no longer surprised by such a reception. He walked up to them expressionlessly, and Tang Junnian said respectfully, "Mr. Li, Mr. Yang, welcome again. The agreement is ready. Please come in."

At the same time, he extended his hand. But Li Guangyu just glanced at him indifferently, ignored him, and walked straight past Tang Junnian, leaving the latter standing there awkwardly.

In the past, although Tang Junnian respected the Li family, he would not tolerate such cold treatment, but now he has lost his arrogance. After withdrawing his hand, he hurriedly caught up with Li Guangyu. Noticing that Tang Jiacheng stopped where he was and stared at Zhou Qi with cold eyes, Tang Junnian turned around and gave his son a warning look, and patted him on the back of the head, "Are you stupid? Come in with me."

Tang Jiacheng was filled with anger, but he dared not act rashly in front of his father, so he could only swallow his anger and follow. Tang Junnian glanced at Zhou Qi, gritted his teeth, and finally said nothing, pulling his son to quicken his pace and catch up with the people in front.

"What's going on?" Li Jianan looked at Zhou Qi in confusion and asked, "Have you done something to drive the Tang Group crazy again? Do you have something on them?" He obviously noticed the unusualness of the Tang father and son, as well as his father's attitude towards Tang Junnian - an unprecedented coldness.

Li Jianan knew that things were much more complicated than they seemed, and it seemed that his father was planning to take action against the Tang Group. This feeling made him realize that something big might happen next.

Zhou Qi did make a lot of money for his family, he admitted, but it didn't seem wise to go against the Tang Group for a young man.

However, seeing his father's attitude towards Tang Junnian so harshly, while Tang Junnian behaved unusually humbly, this unequal interaction made people full of doubts. Li Jiaxin said softly, "It seems that our previous guess was correct." This made Li Jianan even more confused and full of questions. "What guess?" he asked, but Li Jiaxin was obviously still angry about what happened in the car before, and did not answer him angrily.

Zhou Qi ignored Li Jianan's question and simply said, "It seems so. Let's go." They then went to Tang Junnian's office. It was a spacious and bright space. Li Guangyu and Yang Shuo were already sitting on the sofa like the owner, while Zhou Qi and the other two were sitting opposite.

Tang Junnian and his son Tang Jiacheng stood in front of the crowd, maintaining a respectful attitude. Other people were blocked outside the door by bodyguards and were not allowed to enter without permission.

Tang Junnian took out an agreement, handed it to Li Guangyu respectfully, and said, "Please take a look." But Li Guangyu did not take it. Instead, he looked at the father and son coldly and said, "If you want to acquire the company, the accounts must be clear." Tang Junnian immediately responded that he was willing to cooperate in re-examining the company's accounts to ensure transparency.

Hearing the words "acquisition company", Li Jianan was shocked. It turned out that his father was planning to acquire the Tang Group, which had a market value of nearly 10 billion! This made him realize how successful his father's operations in the stock market were during this period.

Li Guangyu went on to say that while the company's accounts needed to be cleared, he believed there were still some personal accounts that needed to be settled. He mentioned the conflict between Zhou Qi and the Tang family, and hinted that these personal grudges also needed to be resolved.

Hearing this, the expressions of the Tang family and their sons turned serious. Li Guangyu's meaning was clear: he hoped to see the Tang family apologize to Zhou Qi.

Faced with such demands, Tang and his son feel great pressure. It is not easy for people with strong self-esteem to admit their mistakes. However, under the current circumstances, they may have to make a choice - whether to maintain face or keep the family business.

The Tang family's current predicament was largely due to Zhou Qi. Now that they were asked to admit their mistakes, one could imagine how they felt.

Tang Jun gritted his teeth and tried to explain: "Mr. Li, what happened between Zhou Qi and me was just a misunderstanding. We have already dealt with the previous business dealings..."

But Li Guangyu interrupted him and said coldly: "You think it's over, but I don't think so. You should know better than me the crisis that Hong Kong's economy once faced. If you had been more enthusiastic just now, I might not have said anything. But now, I see the resentment in your eyes."

Tang Junnian understood that this was indeed a threat. The capital chain of the Tang Group had been broken, and Li Guangyu was willing to take over the company, which was a great fortune for him. If the matter was exposed, the consequences would be disastrous. He might not even be able to keep his body intact, carrying the crime of destroying the economy of Hong Kong City.

Therefore, the only way out was to let Li Guangyu take over the company. On the surface, it was Li Guangyu who proposed the acquisition, but in fact, it was Tang Junnian's plea.

After taking a deep breath, Tang Junnian straightened his back, bowed deeply to Zhou Qi, and said sincerely: "Mr. Zhou, I was wrong. I apologize to you for my previous behavior. Please forgive me."

Can Zhou Qi accept such an apology? Of course he can. Although the two had only met once at the stock exchange, and Tang Junnian suffered a loss that time, the Tang Group did cause Zhou Qi a lot of trouble when they were in the mainland. If it wasn't for Tang Junnian's instruction, how could Tang Jiacheng dare to act like this?

"Dad, why do you have to apologize to him?" Tang Jiacheng asked angrily, trying to help Tang Junnian up, but was stopped by the latter. Tang Jiacheng pointed at Zhou Qi angrily and cursed: "You are a bumpkin from the mainland. Apart from relying on the support of the Li family, what else do you have?"

"Shut up!" A sharp slapping sound was heard. Tang Junnian slapped Tang Jiacheng hard.

Tang Junnian was filled with anger, frustration and rage. He wished he could tear Zhou Qi into pieces. But since he had failed, he had to accept reality. The only chance was to sell the Tang Group to Li Guangyu and retire early with the money. If Tang Jiacheng continued to make trouble, who would take over the Tang Group at this turbulent time?

"Dad, am I wrong?" Tang Jiacheng covered his face, burning with anger, and continued to accuse Zhou Qi: "How badly did he hurt us? In the mainland, he relied on women; when he came to Hong Kong, he climbed up to the Li family, causing us to suffer heavy losses. If this stock market disaster had not been caused by his intervention..."
