Return of the King, Dominating the City-Chapter 1534 - 1519: Ma ChunTian’s Nightmare

Although this rumor is quite ludicrous—because making a person like Ma ChunTian unable to utter a word is relatively easy—the rumor is spreading at an extraordinary speed.

The speed of its spread is fast, but its suppression is equally rapid.

Then a series of reactions occurred, with forces from all sides pressing Ma ChunTian for a response.

One of the nine members of the Red Wall, a certain Boss Wen, even issued a special order to thoroughly investigate the matter. Besides, many of the Red Wall leaders expressed varying degrees of concern over the issue.

This time, the situation has turned serious.

And that night, Song Yun received a task from the National Security Bureau.

The task was simple: ensure the safety of that person in charge.

For Song Yun, this task was not very difficult. Early the next morning, Song Yun went to the hospital to find the person in charge who was injured on duty—though there wasn’t a real injury at all.

The person in charge was a middle-aged man who looked quite upright, with some scratches on his face. Naturally, Song Yun didn’t ask where these scratches came from. The man was in good spirits, and once they left the hospital, they got in a car arranged by the Central Supervision Department.

The transfer process was very simple. Song Yun delivered the man to the Central Supervision Department, then leisurely departed.

During this period, nothing unexpected happened.

The person in charge was smoothly taken to the airport by the members of the Supervision Department and boarded a plane, leaving Shanghai.

"It’s over, it’s over."

After hanging up the phone, Ma ChunTian knew things had blown up. In fact, when the person in charge was attacked, Ma ChunTian vaguely suspected that someone wanted to make the matter big, but only now did Ma ChunTian fully understand.

The current situation is quite clear.

He was set up, and the ones who set him up were likely Wen Changlin and White Tiger.

He had tasked White Tiger with getting rid of Sam, something only White Tiger, himself, and a few others knew. And the only one who could have solid evidence was White Tiger alone. Considering how hastily White Tiger handled the matter, Ma ChunTian was completely convinced that it was indeed White Tiger who betrayed him.

"Bastard."

Ma ChunTian gritted his teeth and called White Tiger.

But White Tiger actually hung up on him.

"Bastard, bastard, how dare you betray me."

At this moment, Ma ChunTian lost all semblance of composure, while Ma Lele stood at the door to his room, looking at his father with a worried expression.

"One last gamble."

Ma ChunTian picked up the phone and dialed the most secure internal line.

This phone line could directly reach Number One.

A few minutes later, the call connected to Number One.

"I am willing to relinquish my position, I just hope they can give me one more chance."

Ma ChunTian didn’t waste words.

After a long silence on the other end, a gentle voice said, "The Red Wall will not spare anyone who violates the law. Confess for leniency, resist for severity. You take care of yourself."

After saying this, the call was disconnected.

Ma ChunTian stood where he was, trembling slightly.

Whether it was the phone being too heavy or for another reason, that fine phone directly slipped from Ma ChunTian’s hand, falling to the ground.

Bang.

The phone case directly shattered.

Ma ChunTian knew he was finished.

In such a rotation year, holding such a sensitive position, encountering such a situation, not to mention having anyone help him, even preventing others from kicking him while down was impossible.

From previous conversations with individuals inside the Red Wall, Ma ChunTian already knew that this time, Boss Wen merely took the lead, and the Song Family also applied some pressure. Then, the teams controlled by a few other major leaders of the Red Wall almost unanimously launched attacks on him.

Many individuals in office are akin to wolves; when you are fine, they won’t bother you, but if you show any wound or if there’s a leading wolf, they will frantically tear you to pieces.

When Ma ChunTian reached his current position, choosing not to align with any team, he foresaw the possibility of such a situation. Why didn’t Ma ChunTian join any team? Because he wanted to create a team of his own. Ma ChunTian was an ambitious person, the fact that he climbed to his position relying solely on himself proves it. Therefore, Ma ChunTian was unwilling to be subordinate. He wanted to be the leader of a team. Thus, Ma ChunTian didn’t join any team. He hoped that one day, after entering the Red Wall, he could establish his own team, and thus he could be an innovator.

Being an innovator is far more exciting than being a successor.

It’s just that everything changed the moment he tasked White Tiger with getting rid of Sam, becoming a fleeting cloud.

"Let’s go."

This was the first thought that popped into Ma ChunTian’s mind. His assets abroad had already reached over a billion—the money was enough for him and his descendants to live very well. As long as he successfully escaped abroad, he could use this money to do business, and maybe in ten years or so, he could return openly.

Yes, just go.

Ma ChunTian’s gaze sharpened. He looked at Ma Lele standing at the door and said, "Lele, grab your passport and come with me now."

"Dad, where are we going?"

Ma Lele, after all, was just a high school student, having never encountered such an incident, suddenly found himself flustered.

"Don’t ask, let’s go immediately, don’t bring anything."

After speaking, Ma ChunTian ran into his room and came out in under a minute with a bag.

"Let’s go."

Ma ChunTian grabbed Ma Lele by the hand and headed out.

Downstairs, Ma ChunTian’s car was parked. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Ma ChunTian threw his belongings into the car and sat in the driver’s seat, saying, "Call your mom and tell her to head to the airport now."

Afterward, Ma ChunTian picked up his phone and made a call.

"Xiao Li, check for me which flight abroad is departing the earliest."

More than half an hour later.

Ma ChunTian drove to Pudong International Airport.

Ma ChunTian parked the car casually, then hurriedly dragged Ma Lele towards the airport lobby, inside which a middle-aged woman and a young person were anxiously watching something. Seeing Ma ChunTian, the middle-aged woman ran over and embraced Ma Lele.

"Mom, where are we going?" Ma Lele asked in a panic.

"We are going on a trip, just going on a trip." The middle-aged woman, who was Ma Lele’s mother, said tearfully.

"Xiao Chen, thank you, I won’t forget you." Ma ChunTian accepted three flight tickets to a foreign country from his secretary and hurriedly headed towards the security check with Ma Lele and his wife.

Using his status, Ma ChunTian quickly passed through security, and the flight to the United States was already starting to board.

Looking at the boarding gate, the heart Ma ChunTian had been holding onto finally eased.

But seeing the people next to the boarding gate made Ma ChunTian’s heart shatter instantly.
