<h4>Chapter 1176: Chapter 1183: Crisis in the Group Branches (2)</h4>


    "Haozi, businesspetition is quite normal, what’s there to worry about?" Ling Chen thought Nanrong Hao was making a fuss over nothing. Doing business is like this, there are ups and downs, wins and losses; no one can guarantee they’ll always be sessful on this road.


    "Chen, I know all that, but the problem is this time all ourpetitors have joined forces, including some bigpanies that have nothing to do with us at Hongyu Group. They’re not doing it to suppress us, but to destroy Hongyu Group. Chen, if it were fair businesspetition, we Hongyu Group fear no one; if we lose, so be it, it doesn’t matter. But this time it’s different, those people don’t y by the rules; not only do they send people to make trouble at our branch offices, they intentionally injure our employees and forcefully threaten them. In just a week’s time, nearly half of Beijing branch’s employees have voluntarily resigned. At this rate, thatpany will sooner orter go bankrupt."


    "This sort of thing too?" Ling Chen was somewhat surprised.


    Nanrong Hao said frustratedly, "I also don’t know exactly what’s happening or why they’re doing this. Including those obscure smallpanies, they’ve alle out and want a piece of Hongyu Group. Chen, Sister doesn’t have many connections in Beijing, only Captain Zhong and others to protect her, I’m really worried something might happen to her."


    Ling Chen nodded. So manypanies suddenly turning hostile, all targeting Hongyu Group, must be due to Nanrong Yong. Nanrong Yong is critically ill, his life is at constant risk. Although Nanrong Yong has taken measures to conceal this matter, there are no walls that don’t let wind through, and the rivals of the Nanrong Family must have heard something, which is why they choose to act at this time.


    Don’t be fooled by Nanrong Wanqing being the chairman of Hongyu Group, constantly smooth-sailing, the main reason is still Nanrong Yong’s presence. Nanrong Yong single-handedly built Hongyu Group; even in his old age, he possesses extraordinary influence in the business world.


    Therefore, as long as Nanrong Yong remains seated at the Nanrong Family, no one dares to covet Hongyu Group. Now, with Nanrong Yong gravely ill, it’s inevitable that some with ulterior motives will be drawn.


    Although Hongyu Group is just a local enterprise, Ling Chen knows well that there is a fair amount of envy towards them. East Sea City is a well-known economically developed city internationally, among the vast Huaxia, aside from one Beijing, there’s only East Sea City. Furthermore, East Sea City is a municipality with generous policies from the government. More importantly, East Sea City has many ports, each one is a goldmine.


    Of East Sea City’s three ports, two are controlled by the government, the other by Hongyu Group; all export trade must pass through Hongyu Group.


    Thus, despite Hongyu Group being merely a local enterprise with business confined to East Sea City, its annual profit is rmingly high. In the domestic top 500, Hongyu Group has long ranked in the top ten spots. Precisely because Hongyu Group upies such a flourishing city, it attracts the envy of countless.


    Once the pir of Nanrong Yong copses, Hongyu Group will face a huge crisis.


    The marketce is like a battlefield, this saying rings true; no wonder Nanrong Hao is so concerned about Nanrong Wanqing’s safety. "Haozi, our sphere of influence is in East Sea City; there’s no manpower in Beijing to use. How about this, since you’re worried about your sister’s safety, why not dispatch a few people from East Sea City to protect her secretly, what do you think?"


    "That seems to be the only way. Chen, thank you!"


    "There’s nothing to thank me for. Haozi, your grandfather’s health is poor; from now on, you need to learn to take on the responsibility of the Nanrong Family."


    "I understand."


    While they talked, Ling Chen suddenly received an unknown phone call. After chatting for a few minutes, he hung up and asked, "Haozi, are you going hometer or heading to Hongyu Group?"


    "There’s nothing much today, heading straight home."


    "Alright, I’ll go with you, just right as I have matters to discuss with your grandfather."


    Over half an hourter, the two drove to the Nanrong Family. At this moment, there was a car parked outside the Nanrong Family. After saying a word to Nanrong Hao, Ling Chen walked alone to the car and gently knocked on the window.


    As the window rolled down, a middle-aged man poked his head out, looking at Ling Chen and asking, "Mr. Ling?"


    "It’s me."


    Confirming Ling Chen’s identity, the middle-aged man got out of the car with a metal briefcase, and they entered the Nanrong Family together. Soon, they arrived at Nanrong Yong’s bedroom.


    Seeing the stranger beside Ling Chen, Nanrong Yong curiously asked, "Who is this?"


    "Sir." Ling Chen walked straight to the bedside and whispered a few words into Nanrong Yong’s ear. It was unclear what he said, but Nanrong Yong nodded, looking at the middle-aged man and said, "Thank you."


    Thetter wordlessly moved to the bedside, put down the metal briefcase, and then took out a syringe and a few vials of unknown medication. After mixing the medication, the middle-aged man directly injected it into Nanrong Yong’s arm.


    After the injection, Nanrong Yong became drowsy and soon fell into a deep sleep.


    "How long can the effect of this medicinest?" Ling Chen asked the middle-aged man.


    "It’s uncertain; different people have different physical conditions, so the effects vary." As he spoke, the middle-aged man took out several more vials from the metal briefcase and handed them to Ling Chen, "These are for backup, you can use them once more. If he doesn’t make it, inject him once again to extend his life for a while."


    "Can’t it be continuously injected?"


    "No!" The middle-aged man said, "This medication is still in the experimental stage and has certain side effects; if used excessively, it will cause severe body function exhaustion, ultimately elerating death. Thus, this can only be used sparingly. If it were for young people, it could be used three to four times; for an elderly person like him, at most twice."


    "I see. Thank you!"


    "Mr. Ling, my task isplete; if there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave."


    "Alright, I’ll see you out."


    Throughout, the middle-aged man did not reveal his name. When Ling Chen learned of Nanrong Yong’s condition, Ling Tao immediately came to mind. Through the study of that severed arm, Ling Tao and his team have made significant progress in the medical field. Previously, the God Organization researched those drugs, and Ling Tao is also researching them. So, Ling Chen contacted Ling Tao via porridge girl, hoping he could provide some help to alleviate Nanrong Yong’s condition and let him live longer.


    After waiting for about three hours in the Nanrong Family, Nanrong Yong finally woke up.


    At this moment, a few doctors who had been waiting by immediately conducted a thorough examination of Nanrong Yong’s body.
