Chapter 623: Chapter 623: Your Arrogance is Growing

“I’ll go by myself.”

Dan Hanjie’s lips curled into a cold smirk as he began to walk in.

“Mr. Jie!” The bodyguard quickly followed and blocked his way. “The master instructed that I escort you personally…”

Before the bodyguard could finish his sentence, he was silenced by Dan Hanjie’s frosty gaze.

Embarrassed, he shut his mouth.

Dan Hanjie’s eyes narrowed as he continued walking.

...

Despite the lengthy distance, he walked at a measured pace.

With a leisurely stride, he moved confidently and gracefully.

Half an hour later, he finally reached the main hall.

Before he could appreciate the masterpieces collected from around the world, a deep voice echoed from the direction of the stairwell.

“Your arrogance is growing, isn’t it? You are now expecting this old man to greet you, is that right?”

Appearing debonair in a white suit, Dan Yi descended the stairs, offering a jesting smile.

In his mid-fifties but maintained well, he appeared to be in his early forties.

The outlines of his handsome youth were still discernable on his resolute face.

However, his deep, mysterious eyes concealed an unsettling darkness, impossible to decipher.

“Uncle, your words are too harsh,” Dan Hanjie responded dryly, barely turning.

His expression was impassive, betraying no emotion.

“Are you still upset about me summoning you back? You’re overly ambitious and can’t stand failure. It’s bound to bring you trouble.”

Dan Yi laughed, his candid laughter made him approachable, not at all like the evil man scheming to seize power using his nephew.

Hands clasped behind him, he moved forward and sank into the luxurious leather sofa.

Gazing at Dan Hanjie, he said, “Sit down. I haven’t seen you in ages; I want a good chat today.”

“…”

Dan Hanjie remained silent, walking to the opposite side to sit down.

“What do you think of that painting? I recently won it from an auction. It’s a Ming Dynasty calligraphic scroll, framed beautifully and not inferior to oil paintings.”

Dan Yi pointed to the east wall, chuckling as he spoke.

The joy in his old eyes crinkled at the corners.

He appeared genuinely pleased with the calligraphic scroll.

“In this life, if I have anything, it’s my discerning eye, which has always been sharper than others,” Dan Yi’s cryptic comment held a double meaning. His gleaming gaze fixed on Dan Hanjie, waiting for his response.

Dan Hanjie indifferently glanced at him. “My uncle has always had superior taste, otherwise, you wouldn’t have favored me. I hope I haven’t disappointed you.”

“Ha ha!” Dan Yi’s smile turned even more pronounced. He patted the armrest of the sofa. “You’re always so quick-witted. How could you possibly disappoint me?”

“…”

Dan Hanjie fell silent, not taking the bait.

He merely smiled at Dan Yi, who quite evidently had more to say.

The Dan family was a long line of businessmen. Everyone in the family was well-versed in the game of deception.

“Uncle wants something, and you know what it is. But because you’ve always stayed in the country, someone else has taken control of the corporation. I’m afraid that even if I wait until the day I die, I won’t be able to take revenge!”

Dan Yi emphasized each word, staring squarely at Dan Hanjie.

“What does uncle mean?”

Dan Hanjie showed no emotion, his demeanor remained indifferent. He tossed the question back at him.

“I summoned you back for two reasons— your recent actions indeed provided many within the family with leverage. Another critical reason is that I believe, with your current abilities, you should participate in the corporation’s core business.”
