The Chu family of Jiangnan has collapsed.
The news spread like wildfire, quickly reaching all of Jiangnan and becoming a topic of conversation among everyone.
However, there are many different opinions about why the Chu family fell from power.
Some say that the Chu family coveted Zhonglong Group's port and fought against Zhonglong Group, but ultimately lost and ended up with their family destroyed and their lives cut short.
Some say that the Chu family had committed numerous evils and wreaked havoc in Jiangnan for twenty years, and had long been under the watchful eye of relevant departments, but this time they were completely eradicated.
Some people say that Chu Longxiang's self-proclaimed title of King of Jiangnan was the cause of the trouble! It is said that Huo Guanying, the commander of the Jiangnan army, learned that the Chu family was causing trouble in the area and also heard that Chu Longxiang called himself King of Jiangnan. Just then, Chu Longxiang led his men to cause trouble at Zhonghai Port. In the end, Commander Huo sent men to kill Chu Longxiang!
There are all sorts of rumors circulating, making it difficult for people to distinguish between truth and falsehood.
Everyone just knows that the Chu family has fallen!
The capital city.
In a luxury suite at the hotel.
Xiao Wenwei lay on the clean white bed, drenched in sweat.
Beside the bed.
A refined-looking middle-aged man, having just finished dressing, calmly asked while adjusting his collar, "Did you ask the Chu family of Jiangnan to help you deal with Chen Yun?"
Xiao Wenwei was stunned: "How did you know?"
The refined middle-aged man said, "The Chu family has fallen, probably at Chen Yun's behest. Xu Zhengwei, the head of the Zhonghai police, is currently in contact with the Beijing police."
"They say they suspect you hired the Chu family to commit the crime and want to work with the Beijing police to arrest you and bring you to Zhonghai for investigation."
Xiao Wenwei was both shocked and furious: "What?!"
The refined middle-aged man said calmly, "I have already used my connections to reject Xu Zhengwei's request."
Xiao Wenwei breathed a slight sigh of relief, then said resentfully, "I didn't expect Chu Longxiang to be all talk and no action. He couldn't even handle Chen Yun, and he almost dragged me into this mess!"
"And that little bastard Chen Yun has already firmly established himself in Zhonghai."
"After Zhonglong Group won the deep-water port in China Overseas and made a name for itself, local figures like Xu Zhengwei actually became his henchmen."
The refined middle-aged man seemed about to speak, but then stopped.
In the end, he only said ambiguously, "Chen Yun is not as simple as you think. I've also been having a lot of minor troubles lately, so you'd better be careful. Otherwise, if something really happens, I might not be able to protect you!"
After saying that, he checked his watch and said, "I have to go back now."
Xiao Wenwei quickly hugged him from behind, reluctantly saying, "Don't go, stay with me a little longer!"
The refined middle-aged man removed Xiao Wenwei's hand: "You're forcing things that don't belong to you again!"
Xiao Wenwei froze, and could only watch helplessly as the refined middle-aged man lifted his foot and left.
There's no way!
Her status as a mistress is too prestigious.
She is still a married woman, and no matter what, she cannot openly possess him now!
Perhaps, once her husband dies and she inherits the Chen family's trillion-dollar assets, she might still have a sliver of a chance, given those trillions.
Thinking this, her eyes became urgent and vicious, as if she couldn't wait to go home and kill Chen Rulong right now!
But reason tells her it's not the right time yet.
Although Chen Yun was kicked out of the house, Chen Rulong never formally signed any agreement with Chen Yun to sever their father-son relationship.
Legally speaking, Chen Rulong died suddenly.
Chen Yun has every right to come back and take half of the Chen family's assets!
This is something Xiao Wenwei absolutely cannot accept.
"We still need to kill that little beast before we can deal with that old bastard!"
Xiao Wenwei squinted and muttered to herself.
...
China Overseas.
Guolong Hotel.
Chen Yun had just finished eating with Long Pingting, Shu Lingyue, Liang Chenglong, Tang Shirong, and others.
Liang Chenglong and the others were the first to say goodbye and leave.
Only Chen Yun, Long Pingting, Shu Lingyue, and Lin Le remained in the private room.
At this moment, Long Pingting said to Chen Yun, "Mr. Chen, the Chu family has fallen, and their assets are being sold off cheaply. The Junan Hotel, which the Chu family invested in in Zhonghai, was originally worth 1 billion, but is now being sold for 500 million. I'll just buy it for you."
Shu Lingyue and Lin Le had strange expressions upon hearing this.
Miss Long bought a hotel worth hundreds of millions of yuan without hesitation; she's incredibly extravagant.
Little did she know that in Long Pingting's mind, her life was given to her by Chen Yun's mother, and she was raised as Chen Yun's housekeeper and maid from a young age.
Therefore, in Long Pingting's view, she was just managing Chen Yun's money, and of course she would buy anything that could make money for Chen Yun.
Chen Yun said calmly, "If you think you can make money, then buy it!"
"However, since you manage such a large group as Zhonglong Group, you probably don't have time to take care of Jun'an Hotel. Why not just hand Jun'an Hotel over to A-Le to manage as well!"
“I think he managed the Guolong Hotel quite well; he’s suited for this job.”
Long Pingting never disobeyed Chen Yun's orders, and immediately agreed: "Okay! Then let's follow Mr. Chen's instructions and hand over the Jun'an Hotel to General Manager Lin."
Lin Le was flattered and excitedly asked, "Mr. Chen, Miss Long, really?"
Chen Yun patted Lin Le on the shoulder and laughed, "How could it be fake?"
“With me, you will do good deeds at the Guolong Hotel and donate your share of the profits to the Northern Army every year.”
"Now that there are benefits, of course we can't treat you unfairly."
"Jun'an Hotel, you'll still get 10% of the shares. Do a good job and don't let me down!"
Lin Le said gratefully, "Yes, Mr. Chen, I will go through fire and water for you and never dare to let you down!"
The words had barely left his mouth.
There was a knock on the door.
Xu Zhengwei entered, looking exhausted.
It turns out that a lot of people from the Chu family were arrested today, which kept him very busy.
He's here now because he has something to report to Chen Yun.
Chen Yun laughed and said, "Old Xu, you must be exhausted. Haven't you eaten yet?"
Xu Zhengwei couldn't answer after he finished speaking.
He then instructed Lin Le to add another set of bowls and chopsticks and to have the kitchen cook two more side dishes and bring them up.
Chen Yun said, "Old Xu, eat something first. Don't mind the leftovers!"
Although the table was full of food, only two dishes were freshly cooked; the rest were leftovers from Chen Yun and the others.
But Xu Zhengwei didn't mind at all; on the contrary, he was all smiles and kept saying that he didn't mind.
Because he knew very well that Mr. Chen's leftovers were not something anyone could eat.
Mr. Chen treats him like one of his own, which is why he lets him eat leftovers.
Moreover, Mr. Chen specially asked the kitchen to add two more dishes, which shows how much he cared for him.
This leftover food signifies that he has gained Chen Yun's approval and, like Lin Le and others, has become Mr. Chen's person in a certain sense.
How could he not be excited and happy?
At that moment, he was truly hungry.
He ate two bowls of rice in one go, then put down his chopsticks with satisfaction and said to Chen Yun, "Mr. Chen, when I arrested the Chu family members and investigated them thoroughly, I found that the Chu family's attempt to harm you this time seems to be orchestrated by someone."
"The person behind it is very likely Xiao Wenwei, the president of Tianjiao Group."
“I originally planned to join forces with my colleagues in Beijing to arrest Xiao Wenwei and bring her back to Zhonghai for further investigation, but I didn’t expect to be refused.”
"And not long after, I received a call from my superiors, instructing me not to cause trouble for Tianjiao Group without evidence..."
Chen Yun was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, then sneered: "Heh, it seems Tianjiao Group has someone backing them! And I reckon it's someone of considerable influence!"
Xu Zhengwei said with some shame, "Mr. Chen, I don't have concrete evidence yet, so it's not appropriate for me to go to another region to arrest someone despite the pressure from my superiors..."
Chen Yun said calmly, "You don't need to blame yourself!"
“I have a personal grudge against these people from Tianjiao Group, and I will deal with them personally.”
At this point, he narrowed his eyes and slowly said, "And I also want to see which powerful figure is backing that poisonous woman surnamed Xiao!"
