"Hmph!"
Seeing Tan Xiuming sit down unwillingly, Wang Qisheng snorted lightly.
The next moment, he glanced at Ye Cangtian and said, "You said before that to take over the Dragon Group, one not only needs an appointment but also the support of people. These people behind me all express their support for me!"
Wang Qisheng smiled triumphantly.
He had taken Ye Cangtian's words to heart. Now that he had the support of these team leaders, he didn't believe Ye Cangtian had any reason to refute him.
At the same time, this was his greatest advantage compared to Tan Xiuming.
After all, he had seen everything before his eyes; Tan Xiuming had no Dragon Group members by his side.
As soon as his words fell, the team leaders behind Wang Qisheng raised their heads, their expressions firm.
Clearly, they were expressing their support for Wang Qisheng in this manner.
"Are you done speaking?"
Ye Cangtian glanced at Wang Qisheng and asked faintly.
Wang Qisheng was taken aback. He hadn't expected Ye Cangtian to be so calm.
After all, he now had an appointment and supporters. In such a situation, shouldn't the winner be determined directly, and the Dragon Group handed over to him?
Yet, that did not happen.
Wang Qisheng's expression became unnatural, and he said with a hint of gloom, "I am done."
Upon hearing this, Ye Cangtian slowly stepped forward and reached out to take the letter of appointment. Wang Qisheng did not refuse and handed it over directly.
With everyone watching, could Ye Cangtian possibly play any tricks?
*Clink!*
The next instant, Ye Cangtian lit a lighter. Before everyone could comprehend, Ye Cangtian placed the lighter directly beneath the letter of appointment.
What!
Everyone was stunned. No one had expected Ye Cangtian to actually burn the letter of appointment.
Seeing this, Wang Qisheng's face turned extremely cold, and he instantly roared, "Ye Cangtian, what the hell do you think you are doing burning the letter of appointment? Who do you think you are!"
Wang Qisheng seemed to have gone mad, roaring at Ye Cangtian.
That letter of appointment was his career path, his infinitely bright future. Now that it was destroyed by Ye Cangtian, it was equivalent to his future being cut off. How could he tolerate it?
"Ye Cangtian, even if you destroy the letter of appointment, it's useless. We all witnessed the existence of the letter of appointment."
"On the contrary, you destroyed the letter of appointment. If you don't provide a reasonable explanation, we have the right to apprehend you and send you to the Hidden Group for them to deal with you!"
Just then, a Earth-tier expert beside Wang Qisheng stepped forward.
Ye Cangtian glanced at the man and then said faintly, "I've seen your file. You're Wu Cheng, right? Don't be impatient. I have my reasons for saying this!"
Saying that, Ye Cangtian did not give the other party a chance to speak. He directly addressed everyone and continued, "Everyone, although the Hidden Group is more powerful than the Dragon Group, they only have the right to recommend the position of Dragon Head; they do not have the right to appoint!"
This...
At this statement, everyone exchanged confused glances.
To the vast majority of people, since the Hidden Group was more powerful than the Dragon Group, they had the right to decide the Dragon Head.
And now hearing Ye Cangtian's words, they were somewhat bewildered, unsure if it was true or false.
After a short pause, Wu Cheng looked at Ye Cangtian again and said grimly, "Ye Cangtian, how can you prove this statement?"
"I will prove it!"
As soon as Wu Cheng's voice fell, a white-haired old man walked out from the room.
This person was Zhan Xinghai.
Before coming, Ye Cangtian had specifically invited Zhan Xinghai and entered the family compound through the back door.
After all, with Zhan Xinghai present, some matters would be much simpler to handle.
On the other side, Tan Xiuming's face lit up with excitement upon seeing Zhan Xinghai arrive.
Zhan Xinghai supported him and held a considerable position in China. Now that Zhan Xinghai had come to assist, his control over the Dragon Group was as good as secured.
Because of this, he quickly stepped forward, bowed respectfully, and then helped the elder to the front of the crowd.
"Everyone, allow me to introduce you. This is the chief responsible person of the China Security Department, Zhan Xinghai! He is also Senior Xu's direct superior!"
As the words fell, all the Dragon Group members immediately paid their respects.
The person was the direct superior of Senior Xu, so he was naturally their superior as well!
On the other hand, Wang Qisheng's expression turned grim, and his body trembled with anger.
Zhan Xinghai already supported Tan Xiuming. If he hadn't come, it would have been fine, but now it was equivalent to cheering for Tan Xiuming!
Looking at Tan Xiuming's current smug demeanor, it was clear that the outcome would not be good.
"Everyone, I am Zhan Xinghai. I am here simply to clarify that the Hidden Group only has the right to recommend the position of Dragon Head; they do not have the right to decide or appoint!"
"As for other matters, I will not inquire further."
Zhan Xinghai came before the crowd, said a few simple words, and then sat down in the main seat vacated by Ye Cangtian.
With this statement, all the doubts everyone had about Ye Cangtian were dispelled.
Simultaneously, the expressions of the dozen or so team leaders who supported Wang Qisheng began to change involuntarily.
No one questioned Ye Cangtian anymore, so there was no need to pursue Ye Cangtian burning the letter of appointment. And Wang Qisheng, whom they supported, would have no chance to take over the Dragon Group!
Most importantly, if Wang Qisheng lost power, would it implicate them?
At this moment, these people were all filled with unease.
On the other side, seeing Zhan Xinghai no longer speaking, Ye Cangtian said, "Everyone, I don't need to say more, do I? Wang Qisheng's letter of appointment is invalid."
"Furthermore, he illegally mobilized Dragon Group personnel. Therefore, I rule him out. No one should object, right?"
As Ye Cangtian's words fell, most people tacitly agreed. Among them, Tan Xiuming revealed a triumphant smile, like a villain who had achieved his desires.
He looked as if he wished Ye Cangtian would immediately announce his takeover of the Dragon Group's authority.
"Hmph!"
Wang Qisheng snorted coldly and directly withdrew from the family compound. He had no face to stay any longer.
Ye Cangtian paid no attention to his departure; his gaze fell directly on Tan Xiuming.
"Mr. Tan, it's your turn now."
Hearing the voice, Tan Xiuming stood up directly and handed over his letter of recommendation, saying, "Brother Ye, this is my letter of recommendation. It also has Senior Zhan's signature. It should be fine, right?"
*Clink!*
The response he received was the lighter in Ye Cangtian's hand.
It also flickered with a heart-pounding flame, and it also directly burned Tan Xiuming's letter of recommendation.
"This..."
Seeing this scene, everyone was puzzled, but they did not make any sound.
After all, Zhan Xinghai was present. Since even Zhan Xinghai said nothing, how could it be their place to speak?
"Ye Cangtian, what exactly do you mean!"
Tan Xiuming's face turned extremely cold. His letter of recommendation was flawless. Ye Cangtian destroying his letter of recommendation was clearly targeting him!
Thinking this, he looked at Zhan Xinghai and quickly said, "Senior Zhan, Ye Cangtian is too lawless!"
"Don't rush, listen to him," Zhan Xinghai smiled slightly and then ignored it.
"Hmph!"
Tan Xiuming snorted lightly and unhappily returned to his chair.
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian said, "Tan Xiuming, your letter of recommendation has no issues, but there is one problem that you shouldn't overlook. To control the Dragon Group requires the support of the Dragon Group personnel!"
"On this point, you seem to be inferior to Wang Qisheng!"
"I just returned from the ruins, how could I have any support? You are clearly making things difficult for me!"
"Besides, the leadership change in any team requires a certain period of adjustment. As long as there is enough time, I believe someone will support me!"
Tan Xiuming directly retorted Ye Cangtian's words.
"Old Man, you can see that he also needs a period of adjustment."
Ye Cangtian said to Zhan Xinghai, but the latter did not respond at all.
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian shrugged and said to Tan Xiuming, "If you were taking over other teams and made such a statement, I wouldn't say much."
"But the Dragon Group is responsible for China's security. How can there be time for you to adjust!"
After a pause, Ye Cangtian continued, "If there were an enemy attack right now, would you still need to adjust before fighting?"
This...
At this statement, Zhan Xinghai's face instantly turned red, and he couldn't say a word.
However, having been recommended by Hao Tian, he was not a fool. His gaze instantly fell on Xu Weiwei.
The next moment, he sneered, "Ye Cangtian, by kicking me and Wang Qisheng out, aren't you just trying to let Xu Weiwei legitimately take the position? Then can she meet those conditions you mentioned?"
