Zhan Mohan did not immediately order the bodyguards to capture them all. Instead, he strode in.
Almost instinctively, everyone present made way for Zhan Mohan.
Fang Xun found an undamaged chair nearby, placed it for him, and Zhan Mohan sat down.
Shen Jie immediately felt that something was terribly wrong. Although he was accustomed to being arrogant and overbearing, he could still distinguish between those who were truly not to be trifled with.
When Zhan Yang first appeared, he was indeed startled, but Zhan Yang was alone, so he naturally wasn't afraid.
However, Zhan Mohan's aura was already terrifying, and coupled with the people he brought, Shen Jie felt as if his death was near.
“You are Shen Jie? Shen Kangbo’s son?”
When Zhan Mohan spoke their names, his tone was dismissive, clearly showing he held them in contempt.
Zhan Yichen walked over and helped Zhan Yang up, saying with a half-smile, “No wonder that old man’s business never picks up. It turns out he has such a son. He’s likely to have no successor.”
Shen Jie was furious at their attitude. Regardless, their family held some prestige here, and few dared to openly disrespect them like this.
“What are you people? Since when did Zhan family have the right to comment on our Shen family’s affairs?”
But the moment he spoke, he regretted it, seeing Zhan Mohan’s expression darken further.
Fang Xun stepped forward respectfully and asked Zhan Mohan, “Mr. Zhan, how should these people be dealt with?”
“Mr. Zhan?”
Shen Jie stumbled back several steps, suddenly realizing what he had done.
If the person before him was Zhan Mohan of Zhan Group, then who was the man who had just fought with them? He had never heard of him before.
In reality, it was because he had been abroad and was unaware of Zhan Yang’s matters.
Shen Jie’s face turned pale. He knew he was finished today. Offending Zhan Mohan had consequences he could not even imagine.
He involuntarily let go of Chen Yutong’s hand. Chen Yutong seized the opportunity to rush to Zhan Yang’s side and hold him tightly.
No one could understand how terrified she had been. Now, she desperately wanted to feel that Zhan Yang was truly alive.
Zhan Yang did not push her away. He also held Chen Yutong tightly before letting go after a long moment.
Chen Yutong looked at Zhan Yang with great anxiety, “Yang Yi, how are you feeling? Does anything hurt particularly badly?”
As she spoke, tears flowed down her cheeks again uncontrollably.
Zhan Yang reached out and wiped away her tears, “I’m fine, just minor injuries. It’s good that you are alright.”
Wei Yumeng and Mu Linjing exchanged glances. Although the situation had escalated badly today, at least Zhan Yang and Chen Yutong’s relationship seemed to have improved. This was perhaps the only good thing that came out of it.
Zhan Mohan did not answer Fang Xun’s question. Instead, he glanced at Zhan Yang and Chen Yutong.
Fang Xun immediately understood Zhan Mohan’s intention and walked over to the two of them.
“Young Master Zhan, Mr. Zhan wants you to decide how this matter should be handled.”
Shen Jie’s face grew even more grim. Zhan Yang’s current state was entirely his doing. Having Zhan Yang deal with him now, it was uncertain how tragic the outcome would be.
“Young… Young Master Zhan, I was blind and didn’t recognize your eminence just now. I was vile, and I admit my mistakes. Please don’t hold it against someone like me. Give me a chance, please?”
Saying this, Shen Jie knelt on the ground with a thud.
But Zhan Yang could not possibly forgive him. He coldly swept his gaze over Shen Jie, “Which hand did you use to touch her just now?”
Hearing this, Shen Jie broke out in a cold sweat. He knew this kind of plot all too well. His hand was about to be lost.
“Young Master Zhan, spare my life. I… I’ll do anything, but please don’t take my hand…”
He begged incessantly, but no one showed him any pity.
Zhan Yang had climbed up from the bottom. When it came to dealing with people, he knew the methods extremely well, and his methods were far more ruthless than ordinary people.
Moreover, Shen Jie had touched Chen Yutong, so he would never let him off.
Chen Yutong was closest to Zhan Yang and could feel the hostility emanating from him, a hostility that even Chen Yutong had never seen before.
Zhan Mohan frowned. Although he had stepped in to help Zhan Yang, he ultimately did not want the matter to escalate.
If Shen Jie’s hand were to be severed now, and the news spread, would Zhan Group not become like a mob organization?
At this moment, Zhan Yichen spoke, “Brother, I think this way. Taking one of his hands is too lenient. Since he did something so unforgivable, let his family pay the price for his actions. What do you think?”
“No, this was my doing alone. It has nothing to do with my family. I am willing to bear all the consequences.”
Shen Jie actually felt that this was worse than losing a hand.
How had he reached his current position if not for his family? If their family fell, would he not be scorned by his friends and become an ordinary person with no money or power?
This was more unbearable than death.
Perhaps seeing Shen Jie’s pained expression gave Zhan Yang a sense of revenge.
He finally nodded, “Yes, since you put it that way, let’s proceed with this plan.”
Fang Xun glanced at Zhan Mohan again. Zhan Mohan had no objections, so he immediately went to handle the matter.
“No… you can’t do this!” Shen Jie looked at everyone. He even thought Wei Yumeng seemed more approachable, and deliberately moved closer to her. “Can you put in a good word for me? I made a mistake, but it’s not enough to make my family pay the price for it.”
But Wei Yumeng merely looked at him indifferently, her eyes devoid of emotion.
Shen Jie instinctively glanced at Mu Linjing again, but Mu Linjing gave him a direct glare.
Only then did Shen Jie completely give up. He knew that the situation was now set in stone.
As for the so-called subordinates he had brought, seeing the situation, they all proactively went to apologize to Zhan Yang and Chen Yutong.
“Sorry, Young Master Zhan. We only did what we did because Shen Jie ordered us to.”
“Yes, Young Master Zhan, please spare us.”
Chen Yutong tugged at Zhan Yang’s sleeve. Zhan Yang did not want to bother with these people at all. He simply picked Chen Yutong up.
He nodded at the others, as if to acknowledge them, and then left with Chen Yutong.
Zhan Mohan also stood up and pulled Wei Yumeng along, “Let’s go too.”
Wei Yumeng nodded and left the bar with Zhan Mohan.
Zhan Yichen, however, looked at Shen Jie’s lackeys and a smile curved his lips.
This made everyone present tremble involuntarily.
