With this money, are there any things I wanted to do but couldn't before that I can't do?
"Compared to that money, do you feel that your life is unimportant?"
Chen Tianhai looked at his son with disappointment. He had started to cultivate Chen Jiawang a long time ago, but after so many years, he still couldn't distinguish between what was important and what wasn't.
"..."
Chen Jiawang was confused and asked blankly.
"Dad, has something happened?"
"Um……"
Chen Tianhai nodded heavily, somewhat helplessly.
"Dad, what exactly happened?" Chen Jiawang felt a sudden panic when he saw his father like this.
Chen Tianhai remained silent. The matter was of great importance and he couldn't say anything, but this was his son, and if his son didn't know the situation, problems could easily arise.
After thinking for a while, I decided to say it anyway.
"Do you remember what it was that allowed our Tianhai Company to stand out from so many other companies?"
"This...of course I remember. We're where we are today because of the support of the Dragon King's Palace, aren't we?"
Chen Jiawang naturally knew how his company had risen to prominence. Although it seemed like a puppet of the Dragon King's Palace, it was the support of the Dragon King's Palace that allowed Tianhai Company to survive when it faced bankruptcy.
In just a few short years, it has achieved what it has today.
"Yes, it is because of the support of the Dragon King Palace that our company has grown so large. Although most of the funds are taken by the Dragon King Palace, what is left is enough for us to squander."
"Dad, what exactly are you trying to say?" Chen Jiawang asked anxiously.
Chen Tianhai didn't rush to answer, but instead looked up at the flight schedule not far away.
The plane still hasn't arrived; we have to wait.
There is still time.
I looked around and saw that none of the nearby seats were occupied.
Chen Tianhai said, "We, Tianhai, are puppets of the Dragon King Palace. We have borrowed a lot of foreign debt and repaid a lot of usurious loans. Furthermore, we have used Tianhai's desire to cooperate with the Luo family to cut off the Luo family's cash flow."
"Unexpectedly, by a twist of fate, it was the Fang family who signed the contract..."
Chen Tianhai continued, "Originally, I wanted to refuse to do such a thing, but I couldn't. I know very well what kind of strength the Dragon King Palace has, and I also know who can threaten our lives more. Now everything is going smoothly, and the Dragon King Palace has made arrangements for us to leave and ensure our safety."
"only……"
"Just what?"
With anxious eyes, Chen Tianhai said uneasily, "You know about Chen Feng's death, right?"
Chen Jiawang nodded. His death had caused quite a stir, and both the legitimate and criminal worlds were searching for clues.
"Chen Feng was originally an employee of our company. We found him to be dull and not very quick-witted, so we assigned him to work in an important department and put him in charge of core matters."
"In addition, Chen Feng gives people the impression of being harmless and his information is completely blank and very ordinary. If it weren't for his good skills, I wouldn't have paid much attention to him."
"However, I never imagined that I would be so mistaken..."
Chen Tianhai was filled with remorse and even wished he could resurrect Chen Feng and then kill him again.
He trusted Chen Feng so much, but he never expected that Chen Feng would betray him and do so many things in secret.
He knew nothing about it.
A person who seems dull may actually have a deep mind.
Chen Jiawang was also gritting his teeth, his expression dark.
"If he hadn't died, I would have made him regret it!"
"Why……"
Chen Tianhai said weakly, "It's too late to talk about this now. Chen Feng is dead. We still don't know who the murderer is. We've searched almost the entire Ningcheng, but we still can't find him. But that's not the main point. The most important thing is that the USB drive that Chen Feng secretly copied is still in the hands of someone."
"Son, so tell me, is that money more important, or your life?"
Chen Tianhai looked at Chen Jiawang.
Chen Jiawang remained silent, his greed and his life balanced like a scale.
All that's missing is his will; one side can be swayed.
He wanted the remaining 30 billion from the Fang family, but he also wanted their lives.
However, that USB drive is of great importance, involving too many people, and there are many hidden things involved.
If it were to be exposed accidentally, many people would likely be purged, starting with the father and son.
However, several days have passed since the USB drive incident, and tomorrow is the day when Fang's family will receive the final payment. Even if they are in a hurry, they can wait until Fang's family receives the 30 billion before leaving.
Chen Jiawang didn't understand what Chen Tianhai was thinking.
Chen Tianhai saw Chen Jiawang struggling, conflicted, and unable to make a choice, and his disappointment deepened.
If he didn't tell Chen Jiawang some things, his son might resent him for it.
"You know that the Dragon King of the Dragon King Palace is currently in Ningcheng. Originally, I would have chosen to leave tomorrow since the new mayor would be taking office the day after tomorrow. However, I have received news that the Dragon King has once again entered the Supervisory Bureau and is locked up in a cell."
"What!"
Chen Jiawang was so shocked that his mouth dropped open.
The Dragon King of the Dragon King Palace wields immense power abroad; his influence is boundless, and even a stomp of his foot can send shivers down people's spines.
He was actually locked up in jail.
If people who know me find out, they'll probably laugh about it for three years.
This also caused the image of the Dragon King in Chen Jiawang's mind to collapse completely.
"Yes, you heard right. The Dragon King is in jail right now, and the lawyer in charge of this matter has also been sent in."
"..."
Chen Jiawang was at a loss for words.
That's outrageous.
"After receiving the news, I felt a vague unease. If I continued to stay in Ningcheng, I was afraid I would never be able to leave."
“Don’t we still have the Dragon King’s Palace to rely on?” Chen Jiawang said.
Chen Tianhai shook his head slightly: "Even their Dragon King is in jail, and they can't get him out. The best thing to do is to leave as soon as possible."
"Isn't there any other solution?"
Chen Jiawang was still unwilling to give up and was still thinking about the remaining 30 billion from the Fang family.
Chen Tianhai was furious. He had already gone to such lengths, so why was his son still so foolish?
"The Dragon King Palace is now in dire straits and can't rely on anyone anymore. We can only rely on ourselves. Anyway, we still have 50 billion. The Dragon King Palace will definitely think that we will give them this money."
"Actually, I've already planned it out. Once I escape Ningcheng, I'll change my identity, hide in a small country, and live a low-key life. After a while, when I'm not watching so closely anymore, I'll squander all of this."
Chen Tianhai explained his plan, outlining how he would transition to the future.
Although Chen Jiawang was unwilling, he gradually came to accept it after hearing what his father said.
A man wearing a hood and a mask casually sat down behind the father and son.
Chen Tianhai and Chen Jiawang were unaware and continued talking.
Upon hearing that the money was deposited at RS Bank, the man raised his hand and tugged at his hood, pulling it down further.
