Long Xiang felt as if he had fallen into a deep ice cave.
He didn't even dare to turn his head.
Normally he wouldn't be afraid at all. He would even be confident enough to speak casually to the man standing behind him now. But now that Linglong Group was gone, the one thing that the Long family could rely on was gone too.
Long Xiang wasn't able to bear this loss at all.
Long Xiang didn't turn around. He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. "You're here.”
He wasn't able to tell from his tone of voice whether the person behind him was angry or not. But he was very sure that he had to bear the consequences of losing Linglong Group, and perhaps his entire family might have to bear the consequences.
"I didn't want to come, but I had to.'
The voice behind him remained calm and flat, like a robot was talking. The voice had no emotions and it was impossible to tell his mood.
"I gave you five years. Five years."
"And what happened in the end? You tell me.
Long Xiang clenched his fists and turned around. He looked at the man in a mask seated on the seat reserved for the head of the Long family, the seat that belonged to him.
"Five years? Do you know how I've lived the past five years?” He took a deep breath. Tve been working so hard for your sake and so many of my family members have died and we've paid such a high price! Linglong Group has finally come to fruition and we were about to reap the harvest too! I didn't want to fail either!"
Long Xiang continued to shout, "What you've lost is just an information network. What about the Long family? We've lost the hard work of so many generations!"
The other man just sat there and looked at Long Xiang without saying anything.
The mask on his face was rather strange. It only had two holes to reveal a pair of deep set eyes, but the rest of it had no other pattern or drawing on it, and it was all white.
He sat there and rapped his fingers lightly on the table, as if he was waiting for Long Xiang to explain things to him.
"This is my mistake, so I can make up for it!” Long Xiang was breathing heavily and clenched his teeth. "The Long family will make up for it!”
