A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 552 Brink of Collapse

Ye Fan instantly burst out laughing at these words, as if he had just heard the biggest joke in the world. "You little punk, what are you laughing about?" Ye Fan's laughter made Wang Sheng-Tian very annoyed. It made him feel like Ye Fan was belittling him, and that made his angry.

A useless coward dared to laugh at him?

How dare he?!

"Why aren't you saying anything? I'm asking you a question!"

Ye Fan behaved like he hadn't heard Wang Sheng-Tian, and this made Wang Sheng-Tian even angrier.

Ye Fan just shook his head and laughed, "You've said everything I wanted to say, so of course I don't have anything left to say."

Wang Sheng-Tian immediately frowned. "Punk, what do you mean by that?"

"Nothing, really. I just wanted to tell you that all the things that you take pride in are not even worth mentioning! Just like you said, Shuntian Group is just a tiny company. If I can make it live, I can make it die!" Ye Fan's faint laughter echoed in the room.

In fact, Ye Fan said these words without even looking at Wang Sheng-Tian. He just sat on the sofa and enjoyed his tea.

Ye Fan remained calm throughout this entire exchange.

It was as if this high ranking director of a huge conglomerate was nothing to Ye Fan.

His tone of voice even sounded like he was mocking and toying with Wang Sheng-Tian.

"HAHA! You?! You're just a useless bum, but you are really boastful. You think you can topple Shuntian Group? I think your brain is broken!" Wang Sheng-Tian immediately burst out laughing. His laughter was filled with sarcasm.

He looked at Ye Fan as if Ye Fan was a weirdo and an idiot.

Wang Sheng-Tian's assistants also doubled over with laughter.

They looked like they had just heard an ant declare that he was going to stomp another ant to death.

"HAHA! Dude, you don't even know what you're talking about, right? Or rather, you're just a piece of trash, so you don't understand how powerful a listed company worth billions is, right? The company has already built a business empire that belongs to us. Even the mayor wouldn't dare to say such boastful words. You're just a live-in son-in-law and you really dare to say anything!" The room was filled with ear- piercing snorts.

All his assistants were pointing and laughing loudly at Ye Fan.

"Mr Wang, he's that live-in husband of the boss of Mufan Real Estate? He really lives up to his reputation. This guy is an idiot." "Haha! That's only normal. He's from the countryside and hasn't seen much of the world yet, so he has no idea how powerful our corporation is. He probably thinks that a listed company is like those chicken or pig farms in the village, and he can topple them whenever he wants to."

There was nothing but disdain and mocking for Ye Fan in the room.

Ye Fan was just a joke to everyone else.

But Ye Fan wasn't angry. He just shook his head and laughed. "Why, you don't believe me?"

"My god, you still want to continue this game? Fine, I'll play with you. As long as you can make Shuntian Group's share price drop by 5% in the next seven days, I'll believe that you are capable of toppling us," said Wang Sheng-Tian casually with a cold laugh.

Ye Fan didn't say anything and just glanced at the time.

Then he picked up the tea cup, took a sip and smiled faintly. "I don't need seven days. Five minutes will do!"

"Trust me, in five minutes, you will kneel down and beg me." Ye Fan smiled beautifully as he held the cup in his hands.

"Five minutes? Kneel down? Go to hell! You're just a useless coward and you dare to provoke me like this? I think you're tired of living! You're seriously an idiot. You're just an idiot after all. Men, throw this useless fellow out!"

Wang Sheng-Tian had run out of patience and didn't want to waste anymore time on this idiot.

He gave instructions for his security guards to come in.

But Ye Fan didn't budge. He just took another sip of tea, looked at the time, then said in a low voice, "The show's going to start soon."

DONG DONG DONG...

Immediately after Ye Fan said those words, an employee came running into the office in a panic.

"Mr Wang, bad news. Shuntian Group's shares have been bear raided by international parties, and the price has fallen by 3%."

Wang Sheng-Tian blinked hard and turned to glance at Ye Fan. But he soon suppressed that suspicion he had in his heart.

This must be just a coincidence.

"What are you panicking about? It's just 3%, so it's probably just a technical correction. It'll go up in a while," said Wang Sheng-Tian nonchalantly as he waved his hands about.

But just after Wang Sheng-Tian said this, another employee came running frantically.

"Mr Wang, bad news. In just a few minutes, Shuntian Industries' share price has dropped by 9%. It's going to hit the limit down price in no time."

Just after this employee reported this, another employee came running in with a horrified expression on his face.

"Mr Wang! Many people are selling Shuntian Group shares out of panic and we've lost $30 billion instantly, the share price has hit the limit down price already!"

What?

It hit its limit down price?!

Wang Sheng-Tian's face was pale and he jumped up from his chair.

But this was just the beginning.

In no time, more news came pouring into the office.

"Mr Wang, headquarters say that the bank has cut off our loans and our partners are preparing to withdraw their investment. The cash at HQ can only last for another three days! Please let the subsidiary companies become independent entities!"

"Mr Wang, the Jinling branch office is under investigation for illegal management practices, and all its assets are frozen."

"Mr Wang, we just got the news that someone has reported the Yunzhou branch to the authorities and you are suspected of being involved in a homicide case. The Zhonghai police are on their way here to arrest you! Mr Wang, I think you'd better run for it! Otherwise you won't be able to get away in time!"

Every piece of news was like a sharp knife stabbing deeply into Wang Sheng-Tian's heart.

It was as if they were bolts of lightning that couldn't stop exploding within Wang Sheng-Tian's heart.

Everything came attacking him like a heavy storm. Wang Sheng-Tian could hardly take it and he was in a daze now.

He couldn't believe it at all and his mind went blank.

His face was pale and his eyes just stared ahead.

He couldn't snap out of his shock at all.

He couldn't believe how the Wang family's business empire was suddenly on the brink of collapse in just a few minutes.

Another employee came running in frantically.

"Mr...Mr Wang, phone call...for you."

Wang Sheng-Tian took the phone from his staff robotically, but when he saw that it was his father on the line, he looked as though he had found a life buoy and asked in a panicked voice, "Dad, what...what happened? How did things turn out like that? Everything was okay just a day ago..."
