Chapter 474 Seizing Power
Seeing Wang Chao effortlessly use this familiar technique with such destructive force, everyone present could imagine the terrifying power that Shen Dongshan had just endured.
Wang Chao\'s display left everyone in awe.
Even Zhang Long, who had remained calm until now, stood up, his eyes filled with astonishment.
He knew that Wang Chao could project true qi externally, but he never expected him to possess such incredible telekinetic abilities.
Shattering the chair into pieces with such force required at least several hundred pounds of strength!
Furthermore, this telekinesis was unstoppable. If used in actual combat, anything could become a weapon, making it incredibly terrifying.
Zhang Long looked at Wang Chao, his pupils contracting, murmuring, "Impressive!"
In that moment, he realized the vast gap between himself and Wang Chao.
Even if he combined the strength of ten of himself, he was probably no match for Wang Chao.
"You!!" Shen Tianhuan\'s face grew even darker, his gaze filled with shock as he looked at Wang Chao.
A master!
The Wang Chao before them was undoubtedly a master among masters. He surpassed all the heroes Shen Tianhuan had encountered in foreign battles and might even be stronger than Lafayette!
When did Shen Bing make such a terrifying friend?
With this thought, Shen Tianhuan\'s expression turned as ugly as if he had eaten several pounds of feces, filled with regret.
The reason he had favored Shen Dongshan so much was that he underestimated Shen Bing as a mere woman. Although she was brave and intelligent, manipulating Shen Dongshan in the palm of her hand, she was ultimately destined to marry and become a member of another family.
A woman who married into another family would eventually become part of that family.
If Shen Bing continued to control the family company, those who followed her might also leave once she married.
To prevent the loss of talent, he had chosen to promote Shen Dongshan, even if Shen Dongshan had committed many sins. He wanted to keep Shen Dongshan at all costs.
After returning from abroad, he had one goal in mind: to use his power as Chairman to gradually weaken Shen Bing\'s control over the company, support Shen Dongshan, and eventually drive Shen Bing away, allowing Shen Dongshan to take over.
Only then could the power of the Shen family\'s company be firmly in the hands of their own people.
However, Wang Chao\'s appearance was like a wake-up call, knocking him unconscious.
If he had known that Shen Bing knew such a powerful person and had brought him into the company as the Head of Security, he wouldn\'t have acted so impulsively and sided with Shen Dongshan.
"Damn it, that useless Shen Dongshan has ruined everything."
"No, I must find a way to mend the relationship, to save Shen Dongshan\'s life without alienating Shen Bing and Wang Chao."
Shen Tianhuan\'s mind raced as he pondered his next move.
At this moment, he saw hope in defeating Lafayette.
Wang Chao was a Seven-Star Warlord, possibly even stronger than other Seven-Star Warlords. If the Shen family had someone like Wang Chao, they would surely have the power to contend with Lafayette and defeat him.
Thump!
While Shen Tianhuan was contemplating, Shen Deng suddenly rushed forward and knelt in front of Shen Bing, his voice filled with pleading and despair. "Shen Bing, please spare my father, considering that we\'re all family."
"We share the same blood running through our veins. We\'re family, aren\'t we?"
After being glared at by Wang Chao, Shen Deng felt a deep fear, trembling in his bones. He didn\'t dare to plead with Wang Chao directly, so he turned to Shen Bing, hoping to appeal to her with their familial bond.
If Shen Bing could forgive Shen Dongshan, then Wang Chao probably wouldn\'t go so far as to kill him.
Upon hearing Shen Deng\'s words, Shen Tianhuan felt a glimmer of hope.
Yes, this is the crucial point to resolve the situation!
Wang Chao possessed the power to crush their Shen family, but he didn\'t use it in a brute force manner. Instead, he planned step by step, gradually drawing Shen Dongshan into the scheme.
Clearly, Wang Chao did this for the sake of Shen Bing.
Directly targeting Wang Chao would not resolve the situation; they had to focus on Shen Bing.
After all, Shen Bing was a woman, naturally kind-hearted and soft in character. As long as they appealed to her with reason and emotions, saying some pleasant words, Shen Bing would surely spare Shen Dongshan.
"Shen Bing, my little sister, I\'ve never asked you for anything before. Today, even though I\'m begging you, please spare my father\'s life."
Shen Deng knelt before Shen Bing, repeatedly knocking his head on the ground until his forehead was bleeding profusely. But he disregarded his injuries and continued his desperate plea.
Shen Bing remained expressionless and coldly responded, "Family? Spare him?"
"Heh, Shen Deng, my eldest brother, when your father tried to kill me, why didn\'t you say these things to him?"
"Now you come to me with such words. Don\'t you find it disgusting?"
Shen Deng was left speechless, his expression extremely unsightly.
At this moment, Shen Tianhuan regained his composure and spoke, trying to persuade Shen Bing. "Shen Bing, although he has done wrong, he is still your elder. If you allow Wang Chao to kill him, won\'t you bear the guilt in the future? How will others perceive you?"
"Even if you don\'t care about others\' opinions, don\'t you care about your brother and father\'s opinions?"
"What if one day your brother wakes up and your father returns to the family? How do you think they would feel when they find out that you killed Dongshan?"
With just a few words, Shen Bing\'s expression changed.
Wang Chao could seek revenge freely, but she couldn\'t.
Regardless, Shen Dongshan was her uncle, her kin.
If she let Wang Chao kill Shen Dongshan, it would indeed provide her with a sense of satisfaction, but it would also severely tarnish her reputation. Perhaps the other members of the Wang family would fear and avoid her because of it.
After all, no one would be unafraid of someone who killed their own kin.
Thinking of this, Shen Bing\'s expression fluctuated.
Shen Tianhuan noticed Shen Bing\'s wavering and felt delighted. Seizing the opportunity, he continued, "I will immediately dismiss Dongshan from his position, ensuring that he can no longer interfere in the company\'s affairs or any of your matters."
"Shen Bing, what do you think of this resolution?"
Before Shen Bing could respond, Wang Chao stood before Shen Tianhuan, his voice icy as he said, "Old Master Shen, it seems you\'ve forgotten. Shen Dongshan tried to kill Shen Bing. Is removing him from his position enough to quell our anger?"
"Do you really believe this will appease us?"
As he spoke, Wang Chao stared coldly at Shen Tianhuan.
This old bastard\'s change in attitude is too obvious. He was so biased towards Shen Dongshan just a moment ago, and now he suddenly wants to dismiss him and brainwash Shen Bing. It\'s clear that he has ill intentions.
Shen Tianhuan frowned slightly, ignoring Wang Chao and instead looking at Shen Bing.
Shen Bing\'s eyes struggled, but after contemplating for a while, they gradually brightened, and she spoke, "I can spare his life, but I have conditions. He must fulfill three things that I demand."
Shen Deng\'s eyes lit up upon hearing this and he hurriedly asked, "What are the three things?"
Shen Tianhuan also felt elated, but he remained calm on the surface, patiently waiting for Shen Bing to continue.
Shen Bing raised a finger and said in a firm voice, "First, Shen Dongshan and everyone from his faction must be dismissed. They are not allowed to appear in front of me anymore or interfere with my work!"
"No problem," Shen Deng quickly responded.
As long as they could save Shen Dongshan\'s life, they could temporarily set aside their interests. Besides, they would still receive dividends from the Danfeng Group each year, and with Shen Tianhuan\'s presence, there would be a day for their father and son to rise again.
Shen Bing raised a second finger and said in a low voice, "The second condition is that Shen Dongshan must publicly admit to hiring a hitman to commit murder. The evidence of this confession must be recorded and kept by my people."
Shen Tianhuan and Shen Deng\'s hearts sank upon hearing this.
By doing this, Shen Bing was clearly aiming to have a tight grip on Shen Dongshan. With the evidence in her hands, he wouldn\'t be able to disobey her. If Shen Bing were to present all the evidence to the police, Shen Dongshan would undoubtedly be implicated.
"Can you do it?" Shen Bing looked at Shen Deng.
Gritting his teeth, Shen Deng replied, "Alright, I will persuade my father to do it once he wakes up."
"And the third condition?" Shen Tianhuan asked.
Shen Bing looked at Shen Tianhuan, her eyes revealing a different light. She raised a third finger and said with a deliberate tone, "The third condition is simple as well. Shen Dongshan and Shen Deng must transfer all their shares to my name."
"And you, grandfather, you must give me 3% of your shares!"
Upon hearing this, everyone present was shocked.
Especially Shen Tianhuan, his expression grew even darker, and a hint of murderous intent surged within him.
Although he had been recuperating abroad, he had always held 51% of the shares, ensuring his absolute authority and maintaining his prominent position in the Danfeng Group. Even when Shen Dongshan had rallied all the shareholders, he still sought Shen Tianhuan\'s opinion and requested the dismissal of Shen Bing.
Now, Shen Bing wanted the shares held by him, Shen Dongshan, and Shen Deng. If combined with her own shares, Shen Bing\'s shareholding would reach a staggering 51%.
In other words, Shen Bing would become the true power holder of the Danfeng Group!
She was trying to seize power!
"Shen Bing, are you really going to do this?" Shen Tianhuan asked in a deep voice.
"That\'s right," Shen Bing nodded, her eyes bright and resolute. She said, "Grandfather, if you cannot fulfill these three conditions, then I will resign. Moreover, I will hand over all the evidence of hiring a hitman to the police."
"Are you threatening me?" Shen Tianhuan stared at Shen Bing.
"Yes," Shen Bing nodded, openly admitting it.
If it were in the past, she would have still considered familial bonds and not acted so ruthlessly. But Shen Tianhuan\'s actions had deeply hurt her, leaving her extremely cold-hearted.
The company that she had worked so hard to maintain, diligently improving its stock price threefold and benefiting the entire family, had ultimately led to Shen Dongshan attempting to assassinate her multiple times.
After learning the truth, Shen Tianhuan still stood on Shen Dongshan\'s side.
These so-called elders had done such things to her, so she had no reservations anymore.
If they\'re unkind, she would be unjust!
If they wanted to kill her and didn\'t allow her to resist, then she would seize their power and take control of the Danfeng Group!
Shen Tianhuan\'s face darkened, feeling the urge to explode, but after glancing at Wang Chao standing by the side, he held back and said in a low voice, "Shen Bing, ambition and the desire to hold power are good traits. It shows your drive. However, isn\'t it going too far to seize power?"
"Have you considered the consequences? Have you thought about how your brother\'s medical expenses will be handled?"
"I don\'t need grandfather to worry about my brother\'s matters. I just need an answer from you. Can you fulfill these three conditions?" Shen Bing replied.
Shen Tianhuan\'s face grew even darker, remaining silent.
Shen Deng turned his head and kept kowtowing to Shen Tianhuan, pleading, "Grandfather, my father can\'t go to jail, please!"
Shen Tianhuan looked at Shen Deng, then glanced at the unconscious Shen Dongshan, and finally looked at the determined and frosty-faced Shen Bing.
Then, he looked at Wang Chao standing beside him, his face so dark that it could almost drip water.
Honestly, based on his previous temperament, he would have exploded, slapped Shen Bing, and then dismissed her to consolidate his power.
However, with Wang Chao, a seven-star martial artist present, he feared that Shen Bing would really tear off her facade. In that case, no one could stop Wang Chao, and the situation would become even more uncontrollable.
"Damn it, how did Shen Bing\'s power grow so much while I was away for just a few years?"
Shen Tianhuan maintained a calm facade, but he was internally shocked.
He had fought many battles on his own to develop the Shen family into a first-class prominent family in Canton City.
Nevertheless, the strength he had developed was still not formidable enough. Not to mention a seven-star martial artist, he didn\'t even have a five-star martial artist.
On the other hand, in just a few years since Shen Bing took over the company, she had managed to infiltrate her impact into Shen Dongshan\'s faction, setting up a grand scheme to firmly control the entire Danfeng Group.
Moreover, Shen Bing had two martial artists by her side!
Zhang Long and Wang Chao!
Especially Wang Chao, with his display of sword aura and telekinesis, had deeply shaken Shen Tianhuan.
Just as Shen Tianhuan was pondering the pros and cons, a staff member rushed in excitedly from outside and exclaimed, "Chairman, great news! Joseph, the President and Founder of the Heaven\'s Pharmaceuticals Group from overseas, has come to seek a partnership with us."
This statement caused a commotion in the room.
Heaven\'s Pharmaceuticals Group, the globally top-ranked biopharmaceutical company, with abundant assets and an extensive portfolio of patents and technologies, was a leading force in the pharmaceutical industry, standing at the forefront and enjoying unparalleled dominance.
Without mincing words, every pharmaceutical company worldwide dreams of partnering with Heaven\'s Pharmaceuticals Group, but such an opportunity has always been elusive.
And now, the President of Heaven\'s Pharmaceuticals Group had come personally!
This was major news, the best opportunity for the Danfeng Group!
"Quick, please bring him in," Shen Tianhuan exclaimed with great excitement.
"No need to invite him. He\'s here to see me. Let him wait for now. Let\'s deal with the current matter first," Wang Chao calmly stated.
"To see you?" Shen Tianhuan was taken aback.
"More precisely, he\'s here to see both me and Shen Bing for a collaboration," Wang Chao responded.
Upon hearing this, everyone in the room was once again shocked, looking at Shen Bing and Wang Chao with incredulous expressions.
The fact that someone as prominent as Joseph would personally visit and seek collaboration was a monumental event!
Even Shen Tianhuan could not fathom such a possibility.
Now, Wang Chao was saying that Joseph had come specifically for him and Shen Bing?
Could this be true?
For a while, everyone\'s emotions were stirred like turbulent waves, unable to calm down, and they\'re left speechless from the overwhelming astonishment.
