How A Ride-Hailing Driver Comes To Dominate The World? [EN]: Chapter 554

Hangzhou, the Wu family.

Wu Zhen, the head of the Wu family, was already asleep when his butler, Old Xu, came to knock on the door.

“Master, I have something to report,” Old Xu said.

Soon, Wu Zhen came out.

“Old Xu, what is it so late?” Wu Zhen asked, a bit displeased.

Old Xu whispered, “My friend just sent me a message that Yang Chen, the boss of the Starlight Group, was showing off his power at Yu Linglong [a high-end entertainment venue]. Mayor Liu was dismissed with just a word from him, and the Xizi Group is about to change hands.”

Wu Zhen: “Yang Chen is in Hangzhou? Good, I can’t do anything to him in Hai City and Beijing. But now that he’s in Hangzhou, I must make sure he stays here forever. Where is he now?”

Old Xu: “I don’t know. I only know that he took Yuan Siyao from the Yuan family, Yuan Datong’s daughter. As for where they went, I have no idea.”

Wu Zhen: “The Yuan family… Alright, I understand. Go wake up Tang Xuexu and have her come to my study.”

Old Xu nodded and quickly went to the house where the servants lived to wake up Tang Xuexu.

“Miss Tang, the master requests your presence,” Old Xu said with a smile.

Tang Xuexu: “So late? What does Mr. Wu want with me?”

As a young woman staying in the Wu family’s residence, she couldn’t help but feel a little worried about being summoned so late.

Old Xu said with a chuckle, “My friend just sent me a message that Yang Chen is in Hangzhou, and he was showing off his power at Yu Linglong tonight, forcing the Xizi Group’s Huang family to give up all ownership and assets. The master wants to talk to you in the study about countermeasures. You’ve been staying with us for so many days to borrow our resources to deal with him, haven’t you? Now’s your chance; you must seize it.”

Tang Xuexu nodded and quickly followed Old Xu to Wu Zhen’s study.

Old Xu closed the door, leaving Wu Zhen and Tang Xuexu to plot in the study.

Wu Zhen: “Miss Tang, our chance has finally come. Yang Chen is in Hangzhou, but we can’t pinpoint his exact location yet.”

Tang Xuexu: “Is he here temporarily?”

Wu Zhen: “Probably. I heard he’s with Yuan Siyao from the Yuan family, so he’s either at the Yuan family’s place or in a hotel. He doesn’t seem to have any property in Hangzhou, so he’s probably not staying in a private residence.”

Tang Xuexu: “The Yuan family? Yuan Cheng’s family?”

Wu Zhen: “Yes, Yuan Cheng’s family. Your grandfather has a good relationship with him, so you can try to inquire with him.”

Tang Xuexu nodded and said, “Alright. How many people is Mr. Wu planning to send to deal with him this time?”

Wu Zhen: “Naturally, we’ll do everything we can. Although the Jeju Island police said that my daughter and the Huo family’s young master from Beijing killed each other, I absolutely don’t believe it. I asked around, and it was an order from the Two Stars Group [likely referring to Samsung], telling the Jeju Island police to classify the case as a mutual killing. And Two Stars Group Chairman Li’s daughter, Li Xiuyan, has a close relationship with Yang Chen. The Two Stars Group would never interfere in such a case for no reason. The only explanation is that my daughter and the Huo family’s kid were killed by Yang Chen’s men. To prevent the Jeju Island police from continuing the investigation, Li Xiuyan asked her father to pressure the Jeju Island police to handle it as a mutual killing. I only have one daughter, and I must avenge her. The Huo family has already been taken over by Huo Xiangxi under the intervention of Starlight Defense, and Huo Xiangxi is Yang Chen’s man. Now we can only rely on our Wu family to take action ourselves.”

Tang Xuexu: “I said before that as long as you can kill Yang Chen, I’m willing to give Mr. Wu all of my family’s remaining 1 billion in savings as a reward. I’ll transfer the domestic portion to you tomorrow, which is about 300 million. The remaining 700 million or so is scattered in several Swiss banks, and I’ll send it all over after it’s done. I only want Yang Chen’s life; money has no meaning to me anymore.”

Wu Zhen: “Alright! I’m very happy to hear Miss Tang say that; at least I see Miss Tang’s sincerity and determination. I won’t take this money; I’ll give it to the brothers who participate in the operation, and as settlement fees for the brothers who may lose their lives. Our common enemy now is Yang Chen, and next, it depends on whether Miss Tang can find out his exact location.”

Tang Xuexu: “I’ll go to the Yuan family early tomorrow morning.”

Wu Zhen: “Alright! Then I’ll wait for Miss Tang’s news. It’s getting late, Miss Tang; go and rest.”

Tang Xuexu nodded, said goodbye to Wu Zhen, and went back to her room.

“Grandpa, Dad, Mom, Second Uncle, Aunt, you wait; I’ll be able to avenge you soon. Yang Chen must die!” Tang Xuexu said through gritted teeth.

So, hatred will only continue; it can’t end.

Tang Qing and Xu Hu and others killed Yang Chen’s parents, so Yang Chen naturally had to avenge them. Now that these two families have paid the price, Tang Xuexu wants to avenge them on Yang Chen. Revenge will never end unless one side is completely wiped out.

There’s nothing else going on in Hangzhou, but the five bodyguards were injured to varying degrees in last night’s battle against hundreds of people, and they are now hospitalized for treatment. Yang Chen thought that since there was nothing else to do anyway, he would stay in Hangzhou for a few more days and wait until the bodyguards’ injuries didn’t affect their normal activities before returning to Hai City.

Of course, there was another reason. Yang Chen felt pretty good after experiencing one master and two servants [a suggestive scenario], so he stayed to experience it for a few more days.

Early in the morning, Tang Xuexu came to the Yuan family, only to find out that the Yuan family had undergone a huge change, and dozens of people up and down the Yuan family were worried about whether Yang Chen would retaliate against them.

Tang Xuexu didn’t care whether the Yuan family lived or died; she just wanted to find out Yang Chen’s whereabouts.

“Uncle Yuan, do you know where they are? I’ve met Siyao a few times; we’re about the same age. Maybe I can help you persuade her,” Tang Xuexu coaxed.

Yuan Datong: “They’re at the Four Seasons Hotel in West Lake, but I don’t know which room they’re staying in. But I heard Siyao say that they’re staying in the presidential suite. There are only 6 presidential suites in the West Lake Hotel, so go and ask around. If you can see Siyao, you must persuade her well.”

Tang Xuexu was overjoyed and immediately nodded in response: “Okay, I understand. Uncle Yuan, don’t worry; I will persuade Siyao to consider the Yuan family more. After all, this is the place where she was born and raised, and these are her relatives. No matter how angry she is, she can’t cut ties with her family.”

Yuan Datong: “Alas… If only Siyao had the same awareness as you, my dear niece.”

Tang Xuexu: “Uncle Yuan, don’t worry; I’ll go to the Four Seasons Hotel in West Lake to try now. I’ll call you if I have any news; goodbye.”

Leaving the villa area where the Yuan family was located, Tang Xuexu immediately called Wu Zhen.

“Mr. Wu, I found out that Yang Chen is staying in the presidential suite of the Four Seasons Hotel in West Lake with Yuan Siyao, but I don’t know which one. However, there are only 6 presidential suites there, so it shouldn’t be difficult to find out,” Tang Xuexu said.

Wu Zhen: “The Four Seasons Hotel in West Lake? That’s easy; I have someone there. I’ll ask him to find out right away. Miss Tang, thank you for your hard work; our plan can be implemented soon.”

Tang Xuexu: “It’s not hard work; as long as I can get revenge, I’m willing to die. I’m going to the bank to make the transfer now, Mr. Wu; please take action immediately.”

Wu Zhen: “Okay, I’ll gather the men right away and take action tonight.”

Four Seasons Hotel, West Lake.

Yang Chen was feeding Yuan Siyao and the little loli “dog food” [a slang term for public displays of affection], and they were very happy to enjoy Yang Chen’s feeding.

At first, Yang Chen felt a little perverted, but now he felt that it was indeed quite interesting.

After a while, Qiu Yuhong sent a message.

“Mr. Yang, the Hangzhou branch just sent a message that our brothers who are responsible for monitoring the Wu family in Hangzhou reported that the Wu family suddenly summoned many people back from various places, and it seems that they are going to do something big. Tang Xuexu, who has been staying in the Wu family and never went out, went to the Yuan family early in the morning, and after coming out, she went to the Dragon Country Bank [a fictional bank, likely implying a national bank], and was received by the VIP manager.”

Yang Chen’s face originally had no expression, but gradually became gloomy.

He put down the food in his hand, and then called the president of the Dragon Country Bank to ask the head office to check what business Tang Xuexu had done.

Yang Chen deposited hundreds of billions worth of gold in the Dragon Country Bank’s vault and also deposited a lot of foreign exchange transferred back from abroad in the Dragon Country Bank. It can be said that his current status is even more awesome than the president of the Dragon Country Bank.

After all, there can be many candidates who can serve as president, but Yang Chen is the only one who can harvest so much wealth from abroad and return it to the Dragon Country.

To be honest, when money reaches a certain level, it no longer belongs to an individual, because no matter how he squanders it, he can’t spend so much money, so he can only hand it over to the national bank for other purposes.

The total scale of Dragon Country’s holdings of US bonds has reached trillions of US dollars, and the total value of gold and cash that Yang Chen alone has in the Dragon Country Bank exceeds 300 billion US dollars, not counting deposits in other banks and money in overseas accounts.

Whose status is more important is self-evident.

The hen can keep laying eggs as long as it lives, and it doesn’t matter who is responsible for managing the eggs.

Soon, news came from the Dragon Country Bank.

“Tang Xuexu transferred all of her deposits of about 180 million in the Dragon Country Bank to Wu Zhen’s account.”

Although there was no more news, the general situation could be judged from this one piece of news.

Tang Xuexu provided the money, and Wu Zhen provided the people. Their common goal was Yang Chen.

Yang Chen stroked the heads of the two “little dogs” and said, “Go out and play; I have some business to do. Here’s a card for you; the password is six 8s, no limit; buy whatever you want.”

Yuan Siyao bit the card with her mouth and nodded to Yang Chen.

“Haha… how can anyone like to be abused?” Yang Chen thought to himself.

Yang Chen changed his clothes and called Qiu Tian.

“Qiu Tian, ​​gather the brothers from the Hangzhou branch and go to Wu Zhen’s house together!” Yang Chen ordered.

Qiu Tian was negotiating with Huang Hangsheng about the acquisition of Xizi Group and ran away quickly after hearing the order.

Two hours later, 108 cars drove into the villa area where the Wu family was located.

Although the people who lived here were all dignitaries, it was the first time in their lives that they had seen such a big battle.

“Damn, what’s going on? Is someone marrying off their daughter? Is this a wedding car team?”

“Don’t mess around; didn’t you see the Starlight logo sprayed on some of the cars? People from Starlight Defense.”

“Damn, who is Starlight Defense sending so many people to cause trouble for? What kind of evil did someone do? Are they going to assassinate Boss Yang? Otherwise, why would so many people come?”

“It seems that they went to the Wu family’s townhouses. The Wu family is not clean; they do antique and cultural relic resales and even do smuggling and tomb robbing. Maybe they really had some conflict with Starlight Defense, and people came to their door.”

“It has to be Starlight Defense; they make a big splash as soon as they take action. My God, so many cars, so many people; they can be considered a rebel army in ancient times.”

…

Butler Old Xu ran in anxiously and shouted: “Master, something bad has happened; people from Starlight Defense are here. The car team is endless at a glance, and they have surrounded all ten townhouses of the Wu family.”

Wu Zhen panicked instantly, his legs trembling non-stop, and said: “It’s over, it’s over; they must know about our actions.”

Everyone in the Wu family’s ancestral hall courtyard panicked. They came back to attend a mobilization meeting, but it turned into being closed the door and beaten by Starlight Defense, catching turtles in a jar [being trapped]?

Wu Zhen could only pretend to be calm and comforted: “Don’t be afraid, everyone; this is our Wu family’s place. They dare not do anything; otherwise, we have unlimited defense rights. Yang Chen is awesome, but he hasn’t reached the point where he can do whatever he wants to us in broad daylight. Go, follow me out to meet him!”

“Don’t bother Mr. Wu to waste your energy; I’ll come to you myself!” Yang Chen said loudly and then walked into the Wu family’s ancestral hall.

“Yo, there are quite a lot of people! Are you discussing how to kill me together? Actually, it doesn’t need to be so troublesome; you can just find me directly if you want to kill me. There’s no need to plan anything here; anyway, no matter how much you plan, it’s impossible to succeed; why waste that time and saliva?” Yang Chen said with a smile.

While speaking, Yang Chen came to Wu Zhen, pushed him away, and sat on Wu Zhen’s position as the head of the family.

Wu Zhen’s son Wu Yulong supported his father and then pointed at Yang Chen and shouted: “Yang Chen, what do you want to do? This is my family’s ancestral hall; you are too arrogant! Do you want to fight us here?”

Yang Chen: “With just a few people like you, you dare to fight me? I’m here today to save the lives of some irrelevant people. I do things cleanly and neatly, without dragging my feet; I’ll say whatever I have to say. Wu Zhen and Tang Xuexu want to kill me; it has nothing to do with other people. As long as you leave here now, I guarantee the safety of you and your family. Of course, I don’t object to you being loyal and insisting on messing with Wu Zhen. But being loyal comes at a price, and you and your family will not be able to guarantee safety. It’s ten twenty now; the door will be closed after ten thirty, and I will treat everyone who stays as wanting to kill me, and they will be responsible for the consequences!”

The big and small leaders on the scene began to panic; you look at me, I look at you, not knowing whether to go or stay.

Wu Yulong immediately said: “Don’t be scared by him, everyone; he is clearly trying to deal with us by adopting a method of defeating us one by one. If you leave, he can deal with you one by one later. Only when all of us are closely united will he dare not act rashly. Think about it for yourselves; dare he kill so many of us? But if he deals with one or two of them, isn’t that easy? I, Wu Yulong, swear to God that the brothers who stand on our Wu family’s side today will be my Wu Yulong’s lifelong friends. As long as I, Wu Yulong, am still alive, I will definitely protect your safety and guarantee that your whole family will have no worries about food and drink for the rest of your lives!”

Qiu Tian retorted tit-for-tat, saying: “If you lose your life, what are you going to eat and drink? Are you going to eat ingot candles [paper money burned as offerings to the dead]? Brother Chen doesn’t want to start a massacre; it doesn’t mean he doesn’t dare to start a massacre. You tomb robbers, smugglers, will be sentenced to life imprisonment if you are caught, and Brother Chen has plenty of ways to deal with you. Whether it’s sending you to court for trial and execution, or our Starlight Defense doing it ourselves, killing you is as easy as killing an ant. Don’t think that what you do is very secretive, and the police have no evidence. To tell you the truth, as long as you still want to integrate into this society, our Starlight Defense has a way to get your criminal evidence. Unless you give up all electronic network products and live in seclusion in the deep mountains and forests and don’t come out, maybe we won’t be able to get the evidence. However, no one will know if someone dies in the deep mountains and forests. You are right?”

“We’re leaving now; are you sure you won’t mess with us?”

“Yes! What if you break us one by one later?”

“What do you guarantee?”

…

It can be seen that these people all have the intention of retreating and escaping.

Qiu Tian sneered and said: “Brother Chen’s words are the best guarantee! Let me emphasize again, it’s not that we don’t dare to kill you directly; it’s just that we don’t want to. We are not murderers, and we don’t enjoy killing people. If we can solve the problem by killing one less person, we are still willing to be merciful. Everyone’s life deserves respect, unless he doesn’t respect his own life, then we will not be merciful.”

Everyone looked at me, I looked at you, and finally some timid people stood up first.

“Mr. Wu, I, Liu Kang, will definitely do my part in business matters. But this is your private matter, and I will not participate. It doesn’t matter if I die, but my family of more than a dozen people can’t have anything happen. Mr. Wu, I’m sorry.”

As soon as someone takes the lead, others will follow.

Of the hundred or so people Wu Zhen had gathered, most of them quickly dispersed, leaving only a dozen or so members of the Wu family.

It wasn’t that they didn’t want to leave, but they felt that once Wu Zhen fell, they would be implicated and would no longer be able to live the luxurious life they were accustomed to.

As those people walked out of the Wu family’s row of villas, seeing the endless line of cars and the large number of Star Defense personnel, they couldn’t help but feel nervous and scared.

“Damn! There are so many people here.”

“This is just the personnel from one Hangzhou branch. If people from branches all over the country or even the world came, I don’t know how many there would be.”

“Wu Zhen is really out of his mind, making us risk our lives for him against such a powerful force. I’m out!”

“Let’s go quickly. If we leave too late and Mr. Yang changes his mind, none of us will be able to escape.”

…

At half past ten, the gate closed on time.

Yang Chen leaned back in his chair, put his feet on the table, and said, “Mr. Wu, how do you plan to resolve this matter?”

Wu Zhen: “You killed my daughter, and you’re asking me how to resolve this matter? Shouldn’t I be asking you how you want to resolve this matter?”

Yang Chen: “Don’t talk nonsense. Your daughter, Wu Yuchen, sent someone to assassinate me, seriously injuring a girl and leaving a visible scar on her stomach. She’s still in South Korea getting plastic surgery. I haven’t even settled the score with you yet, and you’re trying to frame me?”

Wu Zhen: “Even if she sent someone to assassinate you, it was Huo Song from the Huo family who instigated it. Shouldn’t you be settling the score with Huo Song? What’s the meaning of killing my daughter?”

Yang Chen: “I’m a little confused by your logic. Your daughter sent someone to assassinate me, seriously injuring my friend. Can’t I settle the score with your daughter? Besides, the Jeju Island police have already issued a statement clarifying that they had a quarrel, which led to a mutual attack. Your daughter died on the spot, and Huo Song crawled out trying to call for help but didn’t make it in time. What, you don’t believe the Jeju Island police’s investigation report, and you insist on framing me?”

Wu Zhen: “Who doesn’t know the methods of your Star Defense [A powerful organization under Yang Chen’s control], doing things without leaving a trace. Do you think I don’t know about your relationship with the young princess of the Two Star Group [Likely referring to Samsung Group]? Chairman Li personally ordered the Jeju Island police to classify the case as a mutual killing. Do you think I can’t find out about that?”

Yang Chen: “Is that so? Then I’ll call Chairman Li of the Two Star Group and have him personally tell you if your investigation is correct. Okay?”

Wu Zhen: “…”

Wu Zhen could never possibly talk to Chairman Li no matter how hard he tried, but Yang Chen said he could call him and actually do it.

Soon, the call connected.

Yang Chen chatted with Chairman Li for a few words, then got straight to the point.

Yang Chen: “Chairman Li, someone said that you interfered with the Jeju Island police investigation in the Jeju Island couple’s mutual killing case, classifying the murder case as a couple’s mutual killing. Is there such a thing?”

Chairman Li: “How is that possible? Who would dare to talk nonsense and ruin my reputation? I will investigate to the end!”

Yang Chen: “It’s Wu Zhen, the head of the Wu family in Hangzhou, Dragon Country [A fictionalized version of China]. Oh, you don’t know him. He’s just a tomb robber who smuggles antiques and even digs up people’s ancestral graves.”

Chairman Li: “This kind of trash dares to slander me? I’ll call your Dragon Country embassy later and ask them to give me an explanation. Li Zai Rong’s reputation cannot be tarnished casually. This concerns my Two Star Group and even the reputation of the entire Great Stick Country [A somewhat derogatory term for South Korea].”

Yang Chen: “Okay! Then you can handle it as you see fit. I’m just telling you, you can handle it in your own way. Bye.”

Chairman Li: “When will President Yang have time to come over here to play? Xiu Yan says she misses you every day, and you don’t even come to see her.”

Yang Chen: “I’m really busy these days. You also know that I just had a big battle with Merck and Pfizer, and I’m digesting the spoils of war right now. I’ll see when I’m done with this period. Bye, I still have things to do here.”

Chairman Li: “Okay. President Yang, be busy.”

Yang Chen hung up the phone and said to Wu Zhen with a smile, “Do you understand English? Li Zai Rong said he’s going to the embassy to negotiate and pursue your responsibility for slander. Mr. Wu, you’re very powerful. You’ve elevated this to a diplomatic level.”

Wu Zhen: “…”

One phone call made the chairman of the Two Star Group go to the embassy?

What’s the point of playing anymore?

“Uncle, it seems there’s no concrete evidence about Yuchen’s matter, and you’re acting rashly based entirely on your personal speculation. It’s really inappropriate to deal with President Yang like this. I think we should reconsider this matter. Your nephew’s wife is alone at home taking care of the child, which is inconvenient, so I’ll go back first.”

“Brother, my stomach has been hurting badly these past two days. I originally made an appointment with the doctor for an examination, and the time is almost up. I’ll have to reschedule if I miss it. I can’t delay my illness, so I’ll go to the hospital first.”

“My wife is giving birth, I’m going to the hospital to see her.”

“My sister is also giving birth, I have to take my parents over to see her, lest there be any accidents. My brother-in-law’s family will protect the baby and not the mother.”

…

Wu Zhen heard everything. Could your excuses be any more outrageous?

Before long, the Wu family members had also left, leaving only Wu Zhen’s son, younger brother, and nephew.

Yang Chen: “You bunch of rabble, completely bound together by interests. If the interests they lose outweigh the interests they can gain from you, how could they possibly work for you? I have zero tolerance for those who intend to harm my personal safety, and I will never give them any chance. Mr. Wu, choose an ending for yourself. If you end it yourself, I’ll let the rest of the Wu family go. If I have my people do it, the Wu family will be wiped out. Oh, right, if you do it yourself, take Tang Xuexu with you. I once wanted to give her a chance because I had contact with her before. I didn’t expect her to be so determined to see me dead. She actually transferred 180 million to you, oh, it’s already 280 million now. This money is for the action team’s rewards and settlement fees, right?”

Wu Zhen: “You… how do you know so clearly?”

Yang Chen: “What do you think I don’t know about what you’re doing? Tang Xuexu has been living in the building where your servants live for several months. Do you think I don’t know? I just wanted to see if you dared to do anything, so I haven’t touched you. I’ve laid out the conditions, consider them yourself. Qiu Tian, take away all their phones. Check carefully whether there are any monitoring or listening devices here.”

Qiu Tian nodded and immediately had the technical staff who came with him do their work.

Not long after, the Dragon Country Embassy in South Korea called Wu Zhen.

Qiu Tian returned the phone to Wu Zhen, watching him answer the call.

“Hello, is this Wu Zhen? Wu Yuchen’s father?”

“Yes, it is.”

“Chairman Li of the Two Star Group just called to protest that you slandered him for interfering with the Jeju Island police investigation. Is there such a thing?”

“Yes… yes…”

“I’m telling you, the Jeju Island police investigated this case very clearly. The chain of evidence is complete, there is no doubt, it was indeed Wu Yuchen and Huo Song who had a quarrel over money, which led to a mutual attack. There is no doubt about it. We can understand your pain of losing your daughter, but you can’t talk nonsense. You should know the status of the Two Star Group in South Korea. Can you slander Chairman Li casually? Please don’t add trouble to our diplomatic work, and don’t damage the relationship between the two countries. Okay?”

Wu Zhen was completely dumbfounded. It really rose to the diplomatic level.

Yang Chen, you’re ruthless!

“Okay, I understand. I will be careful in my words and actions in the future,” Wu Zhen said helplessly.

“Okay, thank you for your cooperation. Please go to the South Korean Embassy later to submit an apology letter to Chairman Li, and this matter will be over. Okay?”

Wu Zhen: “Okay… okay…”

Hanging up the phone, Qiu Tian immediately snatched Wu Zhen’s phone back.

Yang Chen: “The embassy called you? I’m not trying to show off anything to you, I just want you to know that I have many ways to deal with you. I can even let the Two Star Group do it. Or, I can deal with you from a diplomatic level. Can your family’s history of wealth stand up to investigation?”

Wu Zhen suddenly felt weak all over, and then his legs gave way and he collapsed to the ground.

After seeing how powerful Yang Chen was, Wu Zhen’s son, Wu Yulong, didn’t even dare to help his father.

Their understanding of Yang Chen before was too superficial. If they had realized this earlier, they wouldn’t have dared to have any thoughts about Yang Chen’s personal safety.

Wu Yulong reacted quickly and quickly said, “President Yang, it’s our fault. We made wild accusations against you without evidence. We really deserve to die. You see, we haven’t done any substantial harm to you. Please be generous and let us off. To express our apology, we are willing to give President Yang 300 million, oh, no, 500 million, for these brothers to have tea. Okay?”

Yang Chen: “Is Young Master Wu trying to buy me off with money?”

Wu Yulong: “No, no, it’s just purely to express our apology.”

Yang Chen: “Oh, if you want to express your apology, show some sincerity. You want to buy the lives of dozens of people in the entire Wu family with a mere 500 million? You don’t value your Wu family members enough, do you? How about I give you 5 billion and you end it yourselves? What do you think? I value your lives ten times more than you do, is that generous enough?”

Wu Yulong: “Then how much does President Yang want? Just give us a number.”

Yang Chen: “If it were other things, and you were willing to spend money to buy peace, I wouldn’t necessarily have to kill you all, and I wouldn’t be unable to accept it. But you had thoughts about my personal safety, so it’s absolutely impossible to resolve this with money. I’ve already laid out the conditions, consider them yourself. If you don’t make a decision before twelve o’clock tonight, I’ll assume that you want to fight me to the end, and you will bear the consequences.”

Yang Chen turned and left. Qiu Tian supervised the technicians to check the scene again, and only after confirming that there were no listening or monitoring devices did he consider the matter settled, and he also took away everyone’s phones.

Qiu Tian came to Yang Chen’s car and said, “Brother Chen, what do you plan to do with them?”

Yang Chen: “Just do as I said. If Wu Zhen takes Tang Xuexu with him, then let the rest of the Wu family go. If he doesn’t want to die with dignity, then help everyone in the Wu family die with dignity.”

Qiu Tian: “Understood.”

Yang Chen: “Remember, it’s better to let the foreign branches handle this kind of thing. Our country is a place that emphasizes the rule of law, and we are all law-abiding people. Don’t let the brothers in the country do it.”

Qiu Tian: “Understood!”

Yang Chen: “Alright, you guys go. I won’t leave with you. I’ll go out through another door.”

Qiu Tian: “Okay, Brother Chen. Please forgive me for Huang Jiucheng’s matter.”

Yang Chen: “Alright, the past is the past. Just be more careful in the future. We have to be careful in order to protect the reputation of Star Defense. It’s not a good thing for you to take in an arrogant and domineering disciple who flaunts the name of the deputy director of Star Defense.”

Qiu Tian: “I will always remember Brother Chen’s teachings. Then I’ll go first, goodbye Brother Chen.”

Yang Chen nodded. After Qiu Tian got out of the car, he drove away from the north gate, and Qiu Tian led the team around in a circle and left from the south gate.

Solving the matters of the Wu family and Tang Xuexu can be considered a past event in Yang Chen’s mind.

Now he can play in Hangzhou for a few more days, waiting for those bodyguard brothers to recover from their injuries before going back.

At noon, Yang Chen was eating when Li Xiuyan called.

Li Xiuyan: “Brother Chen, did you call my dad just now?”

Yang Chen: “Yes. What are you doing?”

Li Xiuyan: “Nothing, I’m with a classmate visiting her dad’s research lab.”

Yang Chen: “Is that so? Are you interested in research?”

Li Xiuyan: “I wasn’t interested at first, but she said that her dad is researching some kind of superconducting material. Once it’s mass-produced, it can achieve human unity, and there will be no more wars. Then I became interested.”

Damn, really? South Korea has developed a superconducting material?

Yang Chen: “Is it room-temperature superconductivity?”

Li Xiuyan: “Yes, yes, it’s room-temperature superconductivity. Brother Chen, you even know about this?”

Yang Chen: “I’ve seen this concept in stock trading and learned a little about it. Can you confirm that they have really developed room-temperature superconductivity?”

Li Xiuyan: “I don’t know about that.”

Yang Chen: “Then can you get their research report?”

Li Xiuyan: “That’s not difficult. If I say I want to see it, they will definitely give me a copy.”

Yang Chen: “Okay, okay, then quickly get me a copy. I just want to verify whether it’s really room-temperature superconductivity. I guarantee with my personality that I won’t steal their research results.”

Li Xiuyan: “Hehe… I still believe you, Brother Chen. Wait, I’ll go ask them for it right away.”

Several foreign laboratories have previously claimed to have developed room-temperature superconductivity, but they have all been proven to be false.

Could it be that South Korea has really developed it this time?
