Wang Shen wasn’t visiting Mu Hai Hotel for the first time; he knew President Cheng and got along quite well.

But he didn’t expect President Cheng to show no discretion right from the start.

President Cheng snorted coldly and stared at Wang Shen, saying, "You’re still asking me what’s going on? Don’t you have a clue yourself? Apologize!"

Wang Shen fell silent. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

He looked at President Cheng, Wu Yihan, Wu Qiaoyun, Yang Chen, and Chen Lanzhi, seeing indifference, sarcasm, and disdain flash across their faces...

Wang Shen remained silent.

He had never encountered such a situation.

The current situation was completely one-sided, with everyone leaning towards Yang Chen, and no one on his side anymore.

In the past, whether it was elections or anything else, people rallied around him, supported him.

Now, they’re turning to support a young man?

Do they really think he’s easy to bully?

Although Third Master Wu’s reputation was loud, he indeed was formidable, and Wang Shen couldn’t match that. But if it really came down to a fight, even Wu the Third would have to consider his influence.

Moreover, the person here isn’t Wu the Third, but his son!

Even if Wu the Third himself were here, he’d have to give Wang Shen some face, let alone his kid!

In Wang Shen’s opinion, this was simply arrogant.

Even if Wu the Third dared to take him on, he’d have to think about the forces behind him.

Besides, he didn’t believe for a second that Wu the Third would really oppose him for the sake of his son’s friend!

On top of that, here with Wang Shen were several of his subordinates and also Chen Lanzhi, whom he had long coveted, so how could he just lose face like that?

Immediately, Wang Shen took a deep breath and said to President Cheng, "Cheng Junjie, who do you think you are? I’m telling you, I respectfully call you President Cheng to save you face; without that, you’re nothing! You want me to apologize? Ha! Just wait!"

Cheng Junjie’s expression immediately darkened, staring at Wang Shen, saying, "Wang Shen! Don’t refuse the face that’s being given to you!"

He had already given Wang Shen an easy way out, but unexpectedly, Wang Shen was ungrateful and retaliated instead.

"I’m refusing face? Cheng Junjie! Why don’t you ask around and see if Wang Shen has ever been afraid of anyone! Apologize? Absolutely impossible! Just wait! Let’s go!" Wang Shen waved a hand, leading everyone away.

Cheng Junjie wanted to stop them, but Yang Chen intervened.

"President Yang... this..." Cheng Junjie looked troubled because he had promised Yang Chen to solve this issue, but now Wang Shen and his group had left, and he hadn’t accomplished anything.

Yang Chen didn’t care at all.

Wu Qiaoyun, however, seemed somewhat apologetic, saying to Yang Chen, "It’s fine, as long as they’re gone; at worst, I just won’t participate in the competition."

Yang Chen smiled slightly and said to Wu Qiaoyun, "Don’t worry, I’ll handle this for you!"

After speaking, Yang Chen turned to Wu Yihan and asked, "Do you know where the Science and Technology Association is?"

"I know!" Wu Yihan immediately replied, "It’s in the east district. Their association is quite wealthy; the facade is well maintained. I know their association!"

Yang Chen nodded slightly, "Alright! Take us there!"

"Sure!" Wu Yihan agreed without hesitation.

As long as Yang Chen was around, he dared to do anything, seemingly fearless, because he understood the strong support behind him! Yang Chen could walk anywhere in Ancheng unobstructed, with no one able to suppress him!

Cheng Junjie watched Yang Chen leave, feeling anxious.

The hotel had changed ownership, and it was uncertain whether he could stay; with the boss gone, who should he look for?

...

Ancheng Science and Technology Association.

As Wu Yihan mentioned, the Science and Technology Association was indeed well-funded; they owned the entire building, with a technology exhibition center downstairs and their office above.

Yang Chen directly led the group to the second-floor office area.

Wu Qiaoyun appeared somewhat nervous, tugging at Yang Chen’s arm and saying, "Why don’t we just drop this?"

After all, Wang Shen was at least the vice president, a person at the top of the pyramid, and coming to their territory might cause trouble.

Yang Chen reassured her, "It’s fine; since today’s incident has already happened, we’re not afraid, but we must resolve it. This matter needs an explanation!"

Seeing Yang Chen’s serious expression, Wu Qiaoyun started to gain confidence.

Since Yang Chen had done so much to help her, she certainly couldn’t back down.

The staff at the Science and Technology Association were all busy with their tasks; many were submitting forms.

Yang Chen shouted, "Where’s your president?"

"Who are you?" one person frowned and said, "Don’t you know it’s forbidden to shout here?"

Yang Chen ignored him, shouting, "Is the president here or not?"

"Please leave immediately!" the staff promptly asked them to go.

Yang Chen shouted, "If the president doesn’t come out, I’ll find him myself!"

With that, Yang Chen approached the door at the edge and kicked it open.

Bang!

With Yang Chen’s strength, the entire door was kicked in.

The people in the office were startled.

"Who’s the president here?" Yang Chen asked, glancing around.

The people inside immediately shook their heads.

Because the sign at their door clearly stated this was the Artificial Intelligence Research Center, not the president’s office.

Yang Chen didn’t mind.

"If they’re not here, then I’ll make them be here!"

He kicked again!

Bang!

The door fell to the floor with a crash.

The people inside were also startled.

"Is the president here?"

The few people were dumbfounded and didn’t even hear what Yang Chen was asking.

Everyone else was also scared, looking at Yang Chen in horror.

The staff member was so frightened he didn’t know what to do.

Bang!

"Is he here?"

...

Yang Chen kicked in five doors before the staff came to their senses.

"You! What are you doing!"

"Are you crazy?"

"Call someone! Quickly get someone!"

"Quickly get someone here! Now!"

"Stop him!"

"This guy’s a maniac!"

The staff were terrified.

But seeing Yang Chen kick down a door with ease, they dared not confront him, fearing he’d give them the same treatment.

Bang!

"Are you there?"

Bang!

"Is anyone here?"

On the entire second floor, except the restroom, all the doors were kicked down by Yang Chen.

The president was not found.

Yang Chen glanced at the bewildered Wu Qiaoyun and Wu Yihan, saying, "The president is probably on the third floor. Let’s go check the third floor!"

The people on the third floor had been notified, and all the doors were open, afraid Yang Chen would come and ransack it.

However, the third floor was different from the second floor.

The second floor was mostly offices with clerical work.

The third floor was more like an exhibition, displaying some members’ artifacts; there were many mirrors and glass.

All the doors were open, but the glass was sealed.

Yang Chen picked up a fire extinguisher and smashed it against a glass wall, shattering it instantly.

Crash!

"Where’s the president?"

No one dared to answer him.

At this moment, a large group of people surrounded Yang Chen and Wu Yihan’s group.

These people were in uniform, holding batons, clearly security personnel.

"What are you doing? This is damage to our association’s property; what is your goal?" the leading captain reprimanded.

Yang Chen looked at him calmly and said, "I’m looking for your president to discuss something."

The captain frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "Our president is not here, but the vice president will return shortly!"

"Vice president?" Yang Chen sneered, swinging his arm and directly throwing the fire extinguisher at another glass wall.

Crash!

The glass shattered all over the ground!

"You!" The security captain was furious.
