Chapter 203: Is Cai Zhengkun one of us?

"What do you mean by that?"

Wu Rulong frowned slightly and gave Jiang Ye, who was behind him, a look. Jiang Ye immediately prepared to take action.

Hearing this, Cai Zhengkun's expression became extremely serious. After some deliberation, he continued to ask.

"Can I trust you, Chairman Wu?"

Hearing Cai Zhengkun's words, Wu Rulong and Jiang Ye exchanged a glance. It seemed that Cai Zhengkun had some unknown situation.

Thinking of this, Wu Rulong coughed, then put on a standard businessman's smile and slowly said.

"I cannot guarantee whether you can trust me, but I can assure you that no fourth person will know what is said here today."

"Since that is the case, I would like to ask if you are willing to make a deal with me?"

Cai Zhengkun looked at Wu Rulong and said, a trace of determination on his face.

Wu Rulong raised an eyebrow.

"Oh? Let's hear it."

"That is, you help me eliminate Yuan Zheng, and I will hand over Earth Dragon Commerce to you. From now on, I, Cai Zhengkun, am willing to be at your service."

What Wu Rulong and Jiang Ye did not expect was that the deal proposed by Cai Zhengkun would be like this, which made them somewhat surprised.

After all, according to the investigation they had previously conducted, the relationship between Earth Dragon Commerce and Yuan Zheng was like that of an emperor and his subjects; Yuan Zheng was the emperor, and Earth Dragon Commerce was the subject.

Moreover, according to their investigation, there should not have been any grudge between Earth Dragon Commerce and Yuan Zheng.

As if guessing what Wu Rulong and Jiang Ye were thinking, Cai Zhengkun gave a bitter smile and said.

"You must be very curious about why I would propose such a deal, right? My Earth Dragon Commerce has no grudge against Yuan Zheng, so why would I want to make a move against him?"

"In fact, Earth Dragon Commerce truly has no enmity with Yuan Zheng. The ones who have a grudge against Yuan Zheng are me and the vice chairman of my Earth Dragon Commerce!"

From Cai Zhengkun's words, Wu Rulong and Jiang Ye finally understood what had happened. The origin of the matter was a very long time ago. At that time, Yuan Zheng was not yet the strongest in the Huangyuan Region, Earth Dragon Commerce did not exist, and Cai Zhengkun was just from a small Family.

Then, the Cai Family was wiped out by Yuan Zheng. Only Cai Zhengkun survived by luck, eventually becoming Yuan Zheng's trusted aide, founding Earth Dragon Commerce, and planning to secretly become stronger to take revenge for his Family.

It was the same for Nie Long. This was something Cai Zhengkun only learned by chance after founding Earth Dragon Commerce.

For the sake of revenge, the two of them came together.

"So, I would like to ask, Chairman Wu, are you willing to make this deal with me? After all, you probably don't want to expend too much effort, right?"

Cai Zhengkun looked at Wu Rulong and asked with an extremely serious expression.

Before Wu Rulong could speak, Jiang Ye, who was to the side, sneered and said.

"Chairman Cai, I am curious, is the vice chairman you mentioned, Nie Long, trustworthy?"

"That is natural. After all, I also know about the incident where the Nie Family was wiped out."

Cai Zhengkun said without hesitation, but soon he thought of something, and his expression became somewhat ugly as he said.

"Senior Jiang, are you trying to say that Nie Long would betray me? Nie Long is like a brother to me; it is impossible for him to betray me."

Hearing this, Jiang Ye just shook his head and calmly said.

"You can know a person's face but not their heart. Just because you think Nie Long won't betray you doesn't mean he won't. You will soon know whether Nie Long will betray you or not."

As Jiang Ye's words fell, in the next second, an incomparably terrifying pressure descended upon the Wu Clan Chamber of Commerce.

Upon feeling this pressure, Cai Zhengkun's expression turned ugly. Having been by Yuan Zheng's side for so many years, how could he not be familiar with this pressure? It was clearly Yuan Zheng's.

But didn't he tell everyone not to tell Yuan Zheng about him going to the Wu Clan Chamber of Commerce?

Thinking of this, Cai Zhengkun's heart sank. It seemed there was someone planted by Yuan Zheng inside Earth Dragon Commerce.

Just at this moment, Wu Rulong spoke.

"Chairman Cai, I wonder if our deal still stands?"

Hearing this, Cai Zhengkun was slightly stunned, but he quickly reacted and hurriedly spoke.

"Naturally, it still stands. It's just that Yuan Zheng is, after all, a Peak Grand Unity Golden Immortal. Can you handle him?"

Judging from today's situation, he could naturally see that the Wu Rulong and Jiang Ye in front of him were not led by Jiang Ye, but by Wu Rulong.

This led to a bold guess in his heart: that behind Wu Rulong was a very powerful force, powerful enough that even Jiang Ye was extremely fearful of it. Of course, there was another possibility: that Wu Rulong himself was a powerhouse, strong enough that he couldn't see his true cultivation level.

"Since that is the case, and Yuan Zheng has appeared, we might as well resolve it all today."

After saying this, Wu Rulong slowly stood up and looked at Cai Zhengkun opposite him, saying.

"Let's go, Chairman Cai. Let us go out and meet this strongest person in the Huangyuan Region."

Meanwhile, outside the Wu Clan Chamber of Commerce, Yuan Zheng was seen standing in the air, looking down proudly at the Wu Clan Chamber of Commerce in front of him. Standing beside him was none other than Nie Long, whom Cai Zhengkun had previously said would absolutely never betray him.

At this moment, Nie Long was saying with a fawning expression.

"Senior Yuan, Cai Zhengkun has indeed come to the Wu Clan Chamber of Commerce, and he intends to join forces with the Wu Clan Chamber of Commerce to take you out."

"I will decide on this matter later. As for you, aren't you Cai Zhengkun's trusted aide? Why would you betray him?"

Yuan Zheng looked at Nie Long beside him, his eyes full of indifference.

"I just don't want to die. Opposing you, Senior Yuan, means certain death. I am just thinking of my Earth Dragon Commerce."

"You, very good. If Cai Zhengkun has truly betrayed me, then you will be the new chairman of Earth Dragon Commerce."

Hearing this, Nie Long's face was filled with wild joy. Wasn't everything he did for the sake of becoming the chairman of Earth Dragon Commerce?

You must know that he had been stuck at the Golden Immortal Peak for many years. The reason he could not break through to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal level was because of insufficient resources. If he became the chairman of Earth Dragon Commerce, then the resources would certainly be sufficient.

At that time, he would be able to successfully break through to the long-desired Grand Unity Golden Immortal level and escape the danger of his Lifespan running out.

"Chairman Cai, I'm sorry, I'm not that stupid. I really do want to live after all."

Nie Long thought to himself.

Just at this moment, led by Wu Rulong, Cai Zhengkun and Jiang Ye appeared before them.

When Cai Zhengkun saw Nie Long standing beside Yuan Zheng, his expression froze in place. How could he, having been able to become the chairman of Earth Dragon Commerce, not guess now that Nie Long had betrayed him?
