Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 1866: Chapter 1471: Ma Zongting’s Struggle (Part 2)

Wang Xuantian smiled with a sense of self-satisfaction, ”You still have a lot to learn!”

...

Ma Family.

Ma Zongting sat motionless on the sofa, his eyes fixed on the news report on the television screen.

His face was terrifyingly gloomy, as if a storm was hiding behind dark clouds.

Early in the morning, he was met with two major pieces of bad news back to back—Zhenbei Group’s Greater China Region joined forces with Tengyun Series, and Beifeng Holdings and Haoyu Group had defected.

Even he found these two pieces of news hard to swallow at once.

Shock, anger, and panic!

Why did it turn out this way, how did it suddenly become like this!

To be honest, for a moment Ma Zongting’s mind was a mess.

”Dad...” Beside him, Ma Tianqing spoke with a trembling voice.

Even Ma Zongting couldn’t suppress his emotions, and Ma Tianqing was even more panicked, unable to control his voice.

Ma Zongting said in a stern voice, ”Get out!”

His voice was one of authority, allowing no room for response. The two secretaries, well aware of Ma Zongting’s temperament, quickly exited immediately. Ma Tianqing moved a bit slower and was glanced at by Ma Zongting with a look that seemed to eat him alive, even his own son was so frightened that he shivered and fled, closing the door behind him.

Ma Zongting sat there motionless, his fierce gaze flickering.

The only thing remaining in the entire living room was the sound of the news.

Ma Zongting sat silently for five minutes, suddenly picked up the expensive jade ashtray from the coffee table and hurled it furiously.

With a ”bang,” the television went silent as well.

This commotion frightened Ma Tianqing and the secretaries outside the living room to shudder.

After smashing the television, Ma Zongting took a couple of deep breaths to calm himself, his expression softening as he picked up his phone and dialed Dong Tianlu’s number.

The call went through immediately.

Dong Tianlu did not refuse to answer.

With things having escalated so much, avoiding it was not an option, so it was better to respond frankly.

This principle Dong Tianlu naturally understood.

”Miss Tianlu, what do you mean by this!” Ma Zongting’s voice was ”calm,” but his questioning was very direct.

”Oh Mr. Ma, I was just about to call you.” Dong Tianlu’s voice on the phone was as usual, without the slightest oddity, cordial, ”Did I not tell you earlier, all this time, our Beifeng Holdings has been fighting alongside your Yuema Group without regret, though it brought great benefits to both sides, it also caused numerous issues, and my elders at home had many complaints, what can I do, I could only temporarily stop the cooperation to allow our family business to recuperate, it is truly an act of helplessness.”

Nonsense, lies!

Ma Zongting cursed in his heart, not believing Dong Tianlu’s words at all, yet he still restrained his anger and said, ”Even if we stop the cooperation, it doesn’t have to be right at this moment, must you stop now! After this period, it’s not like I disagree with our three families slowing down to stabilize our businesses! Right now, Zhenbei Group’s Greater China Region is cooperating with Tengyun, you wouldn’t... have known earlier, right!”

Ma Zongting highly suspected that Dong Tianlu, and even Wang Xuantian, knew about Bai Xiaosheng and Lu Yun’s cooperation, which is why they decisively withdrew from the alliance.

The reason they didn’t inform him was because Yuema Group was at the center of the storm, unable to extricate itself, especially since the opposing major union was launching a counterattack on him.

Ma Zongting thought that Dong Tianlu and Wang Xuantian were withdrawing to protect their own interests and leaving him to bear the brunt.

After all, fighting against Tengyun Series with all their might, even with Bai Xiaosheng, winning would only be a temporary victory.

After that, they would be tangled up by the opposition, stuck in a quagmire they couldn’t escape from.

Those two families are shrewd, they would never want it to come to that.

Up to now, Ma Zongting still believed that Beifeng Dong Family and Haoyu Wang Family were not traitors, he hadn’t gone as far as thinking it was ”treason.”

Facing Ma Zongting’s obviously angry questioning, Dong Tianlu remained calm on the phone, her voice even carried a hint of a smile, ”Mr. Ma, you are overthinking it. I mentioned earlier, if the Shengsheng International deal didn’t come through, the Dong Family would pause the collaboration. As for Zhenbei Group working with Tengyun, it happened around this time as well, so I think it might be purely coincidental. Look, to express our apology, while we are pausing the cooperation, many investments and market shares the Dong Family should take back are also handed over to your Yuema Group, isn’t that some support from me, as a former ally, to your side.”

Dong Tianlu was indeed saying all the right words.

”My dear Miss Dong! The things you are letting go of now, they’re just small profits!” Ma Zongting finally could not contain himself, his voice slightly agitated, ”At this critical moment, how can you betray us! Have you considered how our two sides will interact in the future! Whether to be foe or friend!”

Do you, Beifeng Holdings, want to become adversaries with my Yuema Group! Ma Zongting’s threat was almost spoken outright.

On the other end of the line, the always gentle voice of Dong Tianlu fell silent for a moment, before it turned somewhat cold, yet fearless, ”Mr. Ma, are you threatening me right now? As a women, I, Dong Tianlu, am least afraid of is being threatened! You should be worrying more about the conflict with Tengyun instead, talking to me about this now... hmm, is it appropriate!”

Ma Zongting was almost infuriated to the point of explosion by this woman, Dong Tianlu.

She was clearly, counter-threatening him.

”Miss Dong, in business and in conduct, one should not act this way!” Ma Zongting couldn’t help but utter this.

”Furthermore, Wang Xuantian and you, you’re perfectly in sync, what exactly do you aim to achieve?”
