"The only way now is to act decisively and eliminate him."
"If we don't act now, it will be too late," Deng Bao said through gritted teeth.
"This is the only way!" Liu Jiayin nodded and said.
"As for the final decision, it depends on President Chen." He looked at Chen Tianhai.
"Everyone, just relax and drink. I promise that after tomorrow, Chen Tiansheng will disappear forever." Chen Tianhai laughed and turned to leave.
"That's what General Manager Chen means!"
"They're preparing to make a move against Chen Tiansheng!" The three understood the implication in the words and breathed a sigh of relief, a smile appearing on their faces.
"Enjoy your drink in peace."
"After tomorrow, we might have to celebrate again."
As Chen Tianhai stepped out of the VIP room, he encountered Dong Yanran walking through the main entrance.
"My wife's here!" he laughed and went to greet her.
"Hmm." Dong Yanran glanced at Chen Tianhai, hesitated, and finally swallowed her words.
She originally wanted to remind Chen Tianhai not to serve wine to Chen Tiansheng, since he already knew about it. But then she thought that given Chen Tianhai's suspicious nature, if she told him, he would definitely suspect that there was something going on between her and Chen Tiansheng. Otherwise, why would Chen Tiansheng tell her? So she tried to subtly probe and get information out of him.
If I accidentally let something slip, I'll be in big trouble.
In the end, she swallowed the words she was about to say and didn't tell him.
"Does your wife have something to tell me?" But her expression did not escape Chen Tianhai's eyes, and he asked.
"No, I'm a little tired and want to rest for a bit," Dong Yanran quickly said.
"Then go and rest first!" Chen Tianhai waved his hand and said.
"Okay." Dong Yanran nodded and left.
"I have a feeling she's hiding something from me?" Chen Tianhai asked suspiciously, looking at the retreating figure.
"Mr. Chen, the drinks have arrived. Please confirm." At this moment, a subordinate came over and presented a drinks menu to Chen Tianhai.
"Go take a look." Chen Tianhai took the document, glanced at it, and left with his men.
Ten miles from the Chen family residence, in a long-abandoned village, the Porsche stopped at the entrance of a small courtyard.
The courtyard was very dilapidated, but nothing grew around it, and the road was swept clean, so someone must be taking care of it.
Chen Tiansheng got out of the car, walked to the door, and patted it.
"Who is it?" came an old voice from inside.
“It’s me, Tian Sheng,” Chen Tian Sheng said.
"It's Tian Sheng back! Good, good! I'll go open the door right now." The voice was delighted, and the door opened immediately, revealing an elderly man of about seventy years old with white hair.
"Young master, please come in quickly," he said hastily.
"Okay." Chen Tiansheng went inside.
"And who is this?" he asked, looking at Shi Jing who was following behind Chen Tiansheng.
“Her name is Shi Jing, she’s the younger sister of one of my classmates, and she’s my driver now,” Chen Tiansheng said.
"Hello, Uncle." Shi Jing greeted him immediately.
"Alright, please come in." The old man nodded and said.
His name was Chen Shiliang, and like Chen Shanzhu, he was also a member of the Chen family. However, Chen Shanzhu was the steward, while he was a servant.
After Chen Ding's accident, he stayed in the small courtyard where he had lived and kept vigil for him.
This small courtyard was also where Chen Tiansheng lived as a child; everything in front of him was still so familiar.
"I'll go light incense for my parents, and we'll talk afterwards," he said after walking around the courtyard for a while.
"I'll go prepare the incense and candles." Chen Shiliang turned and went into the small house. A short while later, he came back with the incense and candles.
Chen Tiansheng took it and went to the ancestral hall in the backyard.
The ancestral hall was spotless and clean.
Chen Tiansheng stood in front of the offering table, lit three incense sticks for the two memorial tablets, and knelt down to kowtow three times.
"Father, Mother, I have fulfilled my childhood dream, firmly establishing myself as a major player in the Zhonghai business world and becoming the richest man in Zhonghai. I have not disgraced you..." His eyes were already moist as he said this.
"Mr. Chen, please accept my condolences."
"The spirits of my uncle and aunt in heaven will surely rest in peace."
"I am also proud to have you as my son," Shi Jing advised.
"Master, Mother, your deaths will not have been in vain!"
"I will definitely get to the bottom of this." Standing in the distance, Chen Shiliang's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and his five fingers clenched, making a cracking sound.
When he saw Chen Tiansheng walk out of the ancestral hall, his gaze softened again.
“Young master, the main house has been prepared. Please stay there tonight,” he said.
"Mm." Chen Tiansheng nodded.
In the front yard, after Chen Tiansheng entered the house, Chen Jing looked at Chen Shiliang and a playful smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"Little girl, what are you looking at? Do I have words on my face?" Chen Shiliang asked.
"I never expected to encounter such a master in a place like this," Shi Jing said with a smile.
"You've mistaken me for someone else. I'm just a servant." Chen Shiliang turned and left.
"That extremely sharp aura in the backyard swept over from where you were standing before."
Do you think I'm blind?
"However, it's good to have someone as capable as you here keeping vigil."
"The courtyard is safe and sound."
"You were able to detect their presence, little girl, you must be one of us!"
"His identity must be more than just that of a driver?" Chen Shiliang was sweeping the floor when his almost inaudible voice reached Shi Jing's ears.
