Chapter 159: The Sweet Dream Instantly Shattered

"The efficiency of the Capital Consortium is truly remarkably swift."

"Ye Tianlin, oh Ye Tianlin, do you finally realize the severity of the consequences this time?"

"I wonder if you still dare to act as arrogantly as before?"

Lin Jingtao stood with one hand behind his back, his words ringing out with considerable force and resonance.

Lin Kaiyang reacted immediately, a strong expression of bravado appearing on his face as he sneered, "So you came here to apologize. No wonder I happened to run into you here! It's just a pity that things have already blown up; an apology from you won't save you now!"

Seeing this spectacle, Elder Lin was almost choked to death with rage. His throat felt as though it were blocked by a stone, leaving him utterly unable to utter a single word.

These two idiots had already committed grave mistakes, yet they still dared to speak with such brazen arrogance and self-righteous cleverness right in front of his distinguished guest. They were simply utterly ignorant and foolish!

In stark contrast, Ye Tianlin appeared completely calm at that moment, without the slightest ripple of emotion on his face. He smiled faintly and said, "You two really know how to guess."

Lin Jingtao let out a cold snort. "Apologizing is useless. I advise you to be sensible. We don't have time to waste on you right now, because we have to meet an important person shortly!"

"That's right! This important person is my grandfather's esteemed guest, not someone just anyone can rub shoulders with. There's no need for us to entangle ourselves with you any further anyway; someone will deal with you soon enough!" Lin Kaiyang said with an air of absolute certainty, tinged with a hint of showing off.

"Is that so?" Ye Tianlin raised an eyebrow.

Lin Jingtao said in a deep voice, "We've already been to the Yunhai Chamber of Commerce, and the Capital Consortium will undoubtedly take this seriously. Do you think you can possibly come to a good end?"

Lin Kaiyang chimed in with gloating satisfaction, "I'm afraid it's not just the Capital Consortium. The Matriarch must have received the news by now as well, so you can forget about having an easy life from now on."

Ye Tianlin raised a hand, applauding in mock admiration with a smile. "What a brilliant move of the villain striking first with accusations. To actually use both the Capital Consortium and the Matriarch to launch a pincer movement against me—I, Ye Tianlin, am truly impressed to the point of complete admiration. It's just a pity that I have never received any such notification whatsoever."

Hearing this, Lin Jingtao was extremely puzzled and asked, "You didn't receive a notification from the Capital Consortium? Aren't you here to apologize out of pressure?"

"Of course not!" Ye Tianlin shook his head.

"Then what on earth are you here for?" Lin Kaiyang suddenly felt his mind go blank. He couldn't reach a conclusion for a moment and suddenly felt that something was terribly wrong.

Finally, at this juncture, Feng Sihai could no longer hold back. He stepped forward and solemnly declared, "I think you two probably have some terrible misunderstanding about this matter. The person standing before you is not the figure you imagine him to be, but rather Elder Lin's distinguished guest today!"

As soon as those words left his mouth, the father and son were struck as if by lightning, their entire bodies shuddering on the spot.

"What?" Lin Jingtao gasped, sucking in a breath of cold air.

"Feng Sihai, you aren't joking, are you? On what grounds could this guy become my grandfather's esteemed guest? Stop talking nonsense here!" Lin Kaiyang found it utterly unbelievable, and he refused to believe it!

Feng Sihai explained, "On what grounds? On the grounds that he is the true master of the Capital Consortium, not the puppet figure you assumed him to be!"

"The most ridiculous part is that you actually ran off to the Yunhai Chamber of Commerce to lodge a complaint. In my eyes, you were simply daydreaming and completely disgraced Elder Lin. I truly feel a sense of shame for Elder Lin!"

In an instant, the father and son fell into a joint state of stupor, towering waves crashing within their hearts.

"Elder Lin, I believe you can see what kind of conduct they possess now, right?" Ye Tianlin indicated with a gesture.

"Impossible! How could you possibly be that important person?" Lin Jingtao regained his senses, so shocked that his legs turned weak.

Lin Kaiyang was completely suffocated. Just moments ago, he had been basking in the complacent belief that he had caught the attention of a great figure, only for the situation to undergo a massive reversal, shattering his sweet dream instantly.

"Grandfather, this must be fake, right? You must be joking with me, right?" Lin Kaiyang quickly turned his head to look at Elder Lin, his gaze exceptionally desperate.
