Jinling, the Chen family.
Having gone through so much, and with the upheaval in the Liang family, the Chen family now has an opportunity to rise again.
Chen Changye has always been a man of great ambition. His decision not to confront the Liang family head-on was the right one. If he hadn't been able to restrain himself at that moment, the Chen family would have faced utter destruction.
Fortunately, he survived to the end and finally got his chance from the Chen family.
“President Chen, the Liang family has no successor now, and given the various things that have happened to the Liang family, the higher-ups have already begun investigating their assets.” Ye Xingchen took a cup of tea from Chen Changye and said leisurely, “President Chen can take this opportunity to seize everything from the Liang family and try to gradually take over their businesses.”
"Understood." Chen Changye nodded, and sighed, "Who could have imagined that such a large family business like the Liang family would collapse so easily?"
"Now, many forces are eyeing the Liang family's lucrative position, and they are trying to swarm in and take over the Liang family's status."
“How can the Liang family’s position be so easily replaced?” Ye Xingchen laughed. “This time, the big boss behind the Liang family probably has nothing to say, but Jinling is a rich land, and it cannot be allowed to develop wildly.”
"People from above have already been sent over, firstly to maintain stability, and secondly to select someone to replace the Liang family. I've already given them instructions, so Mr. Chen can just go ahead and do it."
"Understood, thank you Mr. Ye. I'll toast you with tea instead of wine." Although Chen Changye had already anticipated this, he was still somewhat excited when these words came from Ye Xingchen's mouth.
He raised his glass and gestured to Ye Xingchen, who also raised his glass, and the two drank it down in one gulp.
"Mr. Ye is about to leave Jinling, right?" After putting down his cup, Chen Changye brewed tea again, poured two cups, and handed one to Ye Xingchen.
"It's time to leave Jinling." Ye Xingchen nodded. "Is there anything else you'd like to ask, Mr. Chen?"
"Mr. Ye...can't you stay?" Chen Changye gave a bitter smile.
"Haha, I don't belong here." Ye Xingchen laughed heartily.
He knew what Chen Changye was thinking; he wanted to keep him here and tie himself to his boat.
Unfortunately, Ye Xingchen wasn't the kind of person he thought he was. These worldly things meant nothing to him; he had more important things to do.
"I know, I was overthinking it." Chen Changye nodded slowly, smiled self-deprecatingly, and shook his head, saying, "Mr. Ye is no ordinary person. It's unrealistic for me to try to constrain him with the mindset of an ordinary person."
"It's good that Mr. Chen understands. Your daughter is smart and beautiful, and I believe she will definitely meet a good husband in the future." Ye Xingchen said with a smile, "I have already explained what I needed to say. If there is nothing else, Mr. Chen, I will take my leave."
After Ye Xingchen left, Chen Changye looked at the two cups of tea in front of him for a long time before letting out a long sigh.
Shen Lin stepped forward and poured him a cup of tea. Chen Changye smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle Shen, is it really impossible to keep someone like this?"
“President Chen, you know better than I do.” Shen Lin smiled and said, “A person like Ye Xingchen is destined to be extraordinary, so it’s unrealistic to expect him to stay in Jinling.”
"Yes, but I still feel a little regretful. If someone like that could be tied to us, the future of the Chen family would be immeasurable," Chen Changye sighed.
“That’s true, but how could someone like Ye Xingchen be without a noble lady by his side?” Shen Lin smiled and said, “Miss alone probably can’t keep him tied down.”
"I was overthinking it." Chen Changye nodded slightly, then smiled and said, "But today's result is still somewhat unexpected."
He slowly stood up, a profound look appearing in his eyes: "Now that the Liang family is gone, our Chen family must seize this opportunity to replace them."
“Yes, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, we absolutely cannot miss it.” Shen Lin nodded as well: “Ye Xingchen is leaving Jinling, what about Miss…”
"Let's not tell her yet, so as not to distract her." Chen Changye shook his head and said with a wry smile, "This girl is still not proactive enough, otherwise the outcome might be different."
Yes, in his opinion, his daughter was not proactive enough; otherwise, Ye Xingchen would have become his son-in-law in no time. Sigh, she's so grown up, yet she still causes him so much trouble.
But there's no way around it; sometimes whether two people can be together doesn't really depend on how proactive you are, but rather on whether there's a connection between them.
Perhaps, my daughter and Ye Xingchen are not meant to be.
After arranging everything in Jinling, Ye Xingchen boarded a train to the Northeast.
Jiyang City, located in the very center of the three northeastern provinces, was also the ancestral home of the former imperial family. This place is close to the northeasternmost part of China.
Ye Xingchen still doesn't know where Ghost Ridge is. The directions given by Ruchen are only vague locations. What is a point on the map is probably hundreds of kilometers in circumference in the real world.
Moreover, that place is all deep in the mountains and forests, and it doesn't snow for only a few months in the summer. The rest of the year it is covered in snow, so finding it is not an easy task.
However, Ye Xingchen knew that he was getting closer and closer to his father, and he couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Jiyang City's economy isn't very strong, and its population isn't large either. There isn't even an airport in that place. Ye Xingchen needs to transfer to a plane to go to the black market, then take a slow train, and finally a bus to reach his destination.
Indulging in a rare luxury, Ye Xingchen bought a first-class ticket on the plane, intending to sleep until the plane landed.
Ye Xingchen wasn't afraid of heights, but his formidable strength made him feel extremely uncomfortable suspended in mid-air. He felt insecure with his feet off the ground, so taking a nap until he reached his destination was Ye Xingchen's wisest choice.
As soon as I closed my eyes, I felt a fragrant breeze around me, a natural body scent, similar to the smell of musk.
Without exception, anyone possessing such a fragrant body scent is an absolute beauty. Ye Xingchen subconsciously opened his eyes, and sure enough, he saw a graceful young woman walking over.
The young woman, not yet thirty, wore a white suit, looking both capable and sexy.
She was wearing sunglasses, and although they covered most of her face, it was still possible to guess the stunning beauty behind them.
Her stunning figure almost burst the buttons of her clothes, with an S-shaped waist and shapely, fair legs; every move she made exuded charm.
"This is an absolute gem," Ye Xingchen thought to himself.
But the woman's expression was cold, giving off an aloof feeling, so Ye Xingchen wisely refrained from going up to greet her.
Because he knew that if you tried to chat up a woman like that, you'd definitely get rejected.
