"I’ve found some clues: someone named Zhao Zuqiang and another named Han Rongxu. It’s confirmed now that they have ties with overseas organizations; we just don’t know exactly who they’re contacting."
"Discuss with Sui Qiang and your team to coordinate efforts. Let’s catch all these people and give the Chen family a big gift."
"This gift will definitely be big enough." Ning Che couldn’t stop smiling, "I’m already looking forward to it."
Lin Yi cracked a smile.
"I’m curious to see what cards the Chen family can play this time."
...
Jing City Bihu Lake Phase 2 is also a top-tier wealthy district.
The houses here aren’t available for sale; after the developers build them, they’re all given away.
Each house is an independent unit, surrounded by a large artificial lake. In the pricey Jing City, the value of such properties is beyond monetary calculation.
And the patriarch of the Chen family, Chen Chaochun, lives here.
The sky is clear, and in a small courtyard, two men sit together.
Both are elderly, one wearing a white linen shirt, with hair that’s all white, around seventy years old, with a faint, serene smile.
This man is none other than the patriarch of the Chen family, Chen Chaochun.
The other appears younger, with hair that’s black and white intermixed. They sit facing each other, sipping tea and chatting jovially. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
The man’s name is Huang Daxian, a Jianghu Trickster specializing in feng shui and fortune telling, very well-known in affluent circles.
Even in the Chen family, he is treated as an honored guest, able to chat face-to-face with someone like Chen Chaochun.
"The Chen family’s fortune has indeed improved, quite good."
As he spoke, Huang Daxian continued calculating on his fingers, his tone and demeanor were rather mysterious.
"Simply rising in fortune is not enough; we need to extend this fortune further."
Huang Daxian set down his cup, and while calculating with his fingers, he looked up at the sky.
"The Chen family’s fortune has risen, but there’s still an underlying issue."
Chen Chaochun glanced at him, "Where does the problem lie?"
"There’s a barrier in this matter; it has always stood before the Chen family, hindering the development of their fortune. We need to remove this barrier quickly."
Chen Chaochun said nothing, but his expression was no longer as pleasant as before.
What Huang Daxian described matched almost exactly the current situation of the Chen family.
For the Chen family, the threat from Liang Xianghe isn’t major; it more significantly comes from Lin Yi.
His achievements are abundant, his abilities exceptional, and backed by the powerful Liang family. If he wishes, he can definitely stir up trouble, obstructing the Chen family’s future development.
"I understand what you mean; I’ll take care of this matter."
Just then, the sound of a car engine came from the door, and an A6 drove in.
"Brother Chen, someone’s coming; I won’t disturb further. Let’s chat again when there’s time."
"Alright."
Huang Daxian got up to leave as the car arrived.
The car door opened, Chen Fuxian and Chen Zhengnan stepped out, nodded to Huang Daxian in greeting.
They sat in front of Chen Chaochun.
"How’s it going in the lab?" Chen Chaochun asked.
"Still deciphering the information on the Sheepskin Scroll, combined with several minor projects from the Central Guards Brigade. The Research Institute has been very busy lately," Chen Zhengnan said.
"But this is temporary; Dragon Eagle’s combat capabilities still need to improve further, can’t let them be this at ease anymore," Chen Chaochun said:
"It takes strength to forge steel, understand this principle."
"I understand, this aspect is underway, plans are to have them land on the island within three months for practice,"
"This matter should be prioritized; don’t fear casualties, or they’ll never be forged,"
"Understood."
"Besides this, Lin Yi must be dealt with promptly," Chen Chaochun said.
"Lin Yi now has no options left. Given his nature, if he had any means, he wouldn’t have handed over the Sheepskin Scroll," Chen Fuxian said:
"Instead, we can continually exploit the Lin Jingzhan issue to strike at him and Liang Xianghe. I’m sure there’s a link between Liang Xianghe and Lin Jingzhan; we just haven’t uncovered it yet. Once we do, they won’t have any defense."
Chen Chaochun nodded, organizing recent events in his mind, aligning with this perspective.
The current situation is indeed favorable for the Chen family.
"Continue investigating this; hitting Liang Xianghe will strike Lin Yi, and he’s the greatest obstacle before us."
"Actually, many of their positions are granted by the Central Guard Brigade. Once Dragon Eagle’s combat capability is improved, nobody will take them seriously," Chen Zhengnan said.
"Since you both understand these matters, handle them swiftly," Chen Chaochun said to Chen Zhengnan:
"One thing to pay special attention to, we also obtained the Sheepskin Scroll, research must be confidential, can’t give overseas organizations any opportunity."
Chen Zhengnan’s mouth curled with a faint smile.
"Rest assured, this area is well-managed; there will be no issues."
"As long as you’re aware of this, ensure no mistakes occur during this period."
"Understood."
Chen Chaochun stood up, "Don’t leave tonight; stay, have a drink with me."
"Alright."
The Chen family is thriving, naturally making the two happy, willing to stay for a drink with Chen Chaochun.
Unnoticed, evening arrived, with the family’s chef preparing over a dozen dishes, and Chen Chaochun bringing out his prized, aged wine. The three ate, chatted, concluding around 8 PM.
Yet neither left; they headed to the tea room for more tea.
Ring, ring, ring—
Then, Chen Zhengnan’s phone rang, a call from his deputy Ma Tiesheng.
"Brother Chen, where are you?"
Chen Zhengnan frowned slightly, recognizing Ma Tiesheng’s anxious tone.
"At the patriarch’s place, what’s wrong?"
"We’ve got trouble; the Research Institute staff had contact with overseas organizations, and evidence is clear; they were caught by Central Guards Brigade."
"What did you say! Caught by Central Guards Brigade?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Fuxian and Chen Chaochun’s expressions changed, waiting for Chen Zhengnan to finish the call.
"Okay, I understand; I’ll return now."
Chen Zhengnan hung up, looked tensely at Chen Chaochun.
"Patriarch, there’s trouble; several lab technicians had contact with overseas organizations, discovered by the Central Guards Brigade."
Visible anger appeared on Chen Chaochun’s face, smashing a teapot on the table.
"How have you been handling your work? Such a mistake!"
