I forcefully held back my laughter. Guo Qing is truly able to b̲u̲l̲l̲s̲h̲i̲t̲, don’t I know what he’s like when he was at school! What’s more, if he dared to hit Ye Xiaoxiao, would I have let him off!

“Hai hai! Alright now, let’s stop fighting. The Underworld -Meeting is a meeting to solve issues peacefully, you might as well get your subordinates to fight outside instead of fight like this!” Uncle Xing waved his hand. He wasn’t offending either side like this.

Hearing that, Boss Yao returned to his seat in anger with a savage light still shining out from his eyes.

“Alright everyone, let’s talk about any issues we have. No getting physical! The main purpose of this Underworld meeting is so that we can discuss about the splitting of territory properly…” said Eleder Xing.

“How do you want to split it? Does everyone want to quit Hong Kong and leave the territory to us, the Three Rock Gang?” Hearing that they were wanted to split the territory, they understood that they got envious that his territory is large, and to force him to give some up due to them having more people.

Seeing that Guo Qing was so cocky, they were all furious and looked towards the Azure Gang. From their perspective, if someone acted so cockily in front of the Azure Gang, the Azure Gang would definitely not be fine with it. To their surprise, the boss of the Azure Gang, Zhou Feng, acted like he didn’t hear it and just sat their leisurely.

These people thought about it for a moment, perhaps it was because of the Three Rock Gang being rather powerful recently, so the Azure Gang wasn’t willing to make them the enemy. However, since they (the other gangs) had so much people, would they be afraid of the Three Rock Gang? They believed that if they fought with the Three Rock Gang, the Azure Gang wouldn’t say anything, right!

“What’s there to talk about! I’ll just say it directly, ever since a mainland gang came to Hong Kong, our good days have come to an end and have never felt peaceful!” Boss Li, who had a bad temper, stood up and said.

“Yeah, our subordinates grabbed two girls to play on our own territory, but then a certain gamg’s people rushed over and kicked them into eunuchs!” Another boss that didn’t say anything also said suddenly.

“Boss Chen, your Bamboo Snake Gang did cross the line. What we should avoid most is r̲a̲p̲e̲. Then again, there is the police to deal with this, how’s that the business of a certain gang? Are they national security?” Another boss said.

“…”

Hearing their rambles, I looked at the people that were acting. It was clear that they had already discussed it before hand! They aimed to target the Three Rock Gang in order to force Guo Qing to give somethings up since they have more people, however, their plan was not going to succeed!

“Excuse me, is the certain gang you’re talking about us, the Three Rock Gang? It seems like you guys, the bosses of various gangs, seemed to have blabbered on for quite some time!” Guo Qing looked at these clowns and laughed coldly.

“Yes! That’s right, it’s you guys, the Three Rock Gang!” This time, everyone there except the Azure Gang and Elder Xing all answered together.

“Oh? Is that so, so it seems like us, the Three Rock Gang, got in the way so much… Since its like that, then I think…” Guo Qing paused for a moment, then said. “Then everyone just stop being in Hong Kong, please excuse yourselves!”

“What? What the f̲u̲c̲k̲i̲n̲g hell do you mean? Do you mean that you’re going to go against all of us gangs?” Hearing Guo Qing said that, the bosses of various gangs immediately got pissed off. They all stood up and pointed at Guo Qing.

“Whatever, weren’t we enemies before?” Guo Qing said like he didn’t care at all.

“F̲u̲c̲k̲! Bros, get the people and murder then!” Boss Li, who had a terrible temper, roared.

A group of black suited hulks holding assault rifles immediately rushed in. However, the target of these people aren’t us, but the bosses that were badmouthing us!

“Don’t move, whoever move dies!” The black suited hulk in the lead said coldly.

“Who… Who are you people? The spies we placed near the Three Rock Gang’s headquarters didn’t report any news in?” Elder Xing was rather calm, and so he asked these people. He had already sent spies to the Three Rock Gang’s headquarters and different properties, one the Three Rock Gang makes any moves, he can get prepared beforehand. However, there wasn’t any news before at all!

At this moment, the Azure Gang’s boss, Zhou Feng, who haven’t spoken till now, directly walked in front of me and said, “Director Liu, what should we do next?”

“Do whatever needs to be done,” I said plainly. Sometimes, you can’t be soft when you’re dealing with these people. What’s more, leaving these people were would just be harmful.

“Do it!” Zhou Feng waved his hand, and gun shots instantly rang out. The group of bosses that were still pissed off just a moment before instantly became a group of corpses. The only one left was Elder Xing, who was sitting wide-eyed at the center of the meeting room.

“What, are you very confused? Are you wondering why am I standing together with the Three Rock Gang, even though we were complete enemies a month ago?” Zhou Feng smiled towards Elder Xing and said.

Elder Xing nodded stiffly.

“The reason is simple, the boss behind the Three Rock Gang and us is the same person!” With that, Zhou Feng said to the subordinate beside him. “Send him on his way, he knows too much!”

A gun shot rang out, and Elder Xing fell onto the floor. I didn’t say anything while looking at the room of dead people. The laws in Hong Kong was different from the mainland. Fights between mbs happened rather often, and the police couldn’t do anything about it. What’s more, these people were trash, each one dead is one less to deal with.

I got Guo Qing and Zhou Feng to deal with cleaning up together. Within a night, Hong Kong’s underworld was completely reshuffled, since the other gangs lost their bosses, they were absorbed by the Three Rock Gang and Azure Gang very quickly.

As for why the Azure Gang stood on my side, that was simple. Chen’s Corporation is the Azure Gang’s largest shareholder. Now that Chen’s is under my wing, Zhou Feng naturally had to pay his respects to me! When he found out that I am the boss behind the scenes for the Three Rock Gang, Zhou Feng was shocked for a long way. He felt like they were unable to fight against the Three Rock Gang, now that they shared the same boss, they might as well make peace. I also ordered Guo Qing to not attack the Azure Gang.

After all, the underworld has its meaning of existence. There will always be groups that wanted drugs or prostitutes, you can’t ban it completely, that’s why I decided to leave these industries to the Azure Gang.

After dealing with it all, I should also return to school. It did take more than a week’s worth of time here, the military training at school is over already, and class has officially started.

When I got off the plane after arriving in Yanjing, the phone rang. I looked at the caller ID and saw that it was Liu Yue.

“Liu Lei, did you come back?” Liu Yue’s special voice rang out form the phone.

“Aye, I just got off the plane and turned on the phone when your call came through,” I said.

“There’s a good news, and a bad news…” Liu Yue hesitated for a moment, then said.

“Alright, with this, my research is not far away from success!” Although Sun Sikong was a bit disappointed in me not agreeing to him being my assistant, seeing that I agreed to help him research it, he was still very happy!

The following thing was the construction of the lab. I got Du Xiaowei to buy an island in international waters. This way, it would become a private territory protected by international laws. Without the owner’s permission, nobody can just go on the island! Although the price was very expensive, it was nothing for me, the richest man in the world.

As for the safety issues, I got Du Xiaowei to send a team of faithful direct disciples to protect Sun Sikong’s safety and to prevent the information of the lab being stolen! Ever since I taught the martial arts I created to Du Xiaowei, he taught it to his mercenaries, and of course, some of the more important things like the development of the mental powers was only taught to his direct disciples. Even though their mental powers was like a droplet of water compared to the ocean when compared to me, it was far too easy to deal with normal people!

Don’t say that the security is way too tight, what I was researching here is advance technology on Earth or even in the universe. Although there are no more pirates in this era, there are still a lot of special agents! I don’t want these things to leak out too early!

This private army that was in charge of security was absolutely loyal, Du Xiaowei had already added a mental mark into their brain while he was teaching them out to develop the powers. The mark told them to be absolutely loyal towards Liu Lei and Du Xiaowei, if there was conflicts between the their orders, then Liu Lei’s orders will be the final order.

I was very moved when he did this, he seems like Du Xiaowei did respect me, the martial great-uncle quite a bit.

As for the construction of the laboratory, I used the Animasian’s data as reference and designed it with Sun Sikong together.

Seeing that I prepared everything so nicely for him, Sun Sikong was very glad. He didn’t care whether this was an island with no one on him, it was fine as long as he could do research.

At the same time, I chose some of the information that the Animasians gave me and printed it out for Sun Sikong. When he saw it, he acted like he got some sort of treasure and refused to let go of it!

I ordered Du Xiaowei’s disciples to try and satisfy Sun Sikong’s needs as much as possible and left a card with five billion in. Then, I also left my phone number to Sun Sikong.

After doing all that, the Underworld Meeting was about to start as well. Of course, before that, I had something very important to do…

The Underworld Alliance was afraid of the Three Rock Gang not going, and so, they deliberately got someone to send another invitation over. At the time, I was actually very confused about why the Underworld Alliance was so thoughtful?!

Don’t think that the negotiation and fights between mobs all happened at night. That was something that would only happen in novels or on tv. The Underworld Meeting this time was no difference from a meeting between government officials, it was set at nine o’clock in the morning at Tianchen Hotel’s meeting room. Tianchen Hotel was opened by a rich person in Hong Kong and was no affiliated with any gangs. The location as set here in order to make it fair.

In the morning, after eating breakfast, I got on his extra-long Hongqi with Guo Qing. The driver was Ma Qiang. We didn’t bring any other subordinates there since more people didn’t help in that sort of situation. What’s more, if fighting actually started, I can do it by myself.

Just after entering the hotel, I saw a row of people in suits standing by the door as if there wasn’t anyone there. The mobs in Hong Kong were very cocky and very open, they did hide around like the gangs in mainland.

When the people at the door saw us come over, they immediately reached out to stop us, “We booked this place already, it’s not open today!”

“B̲a̲s̲t̲a̲r̲d̲! Are you blind!” Ma Qing immediately got unable after seeing them dare to block off boss and chief. He immediately went up and gave the person a flying kick, causing him to fall over, then he threw the invitation onto the floor.

The suited man had wanted to explode, but once they saw the name on the invitation, he immediately stopped! The Three Rock Gang in Hong Kong was famous for being kind and caring towards the civilians and merciless towards other gangs!

Thus, the other black suited people quickly turned respectful, “So, it’s the arrival of Boss Guo, and Ma-ge, sorry, sorry, please come in!”

They didn’t know my identity, so they just thought that I was an accompanying subordinate. Yet, I didn’t mind.

When we arrived at the meeting room, I noticed that twenty something people were inside already. When they saw us come in, they glared at us predatorily. Why did I feel like we were lambs entering a tiger’s mouth? However, we seem to be wolves in a sheep’s skin…

“Aiya, Boss Guo, you made us wait so long. Is the Three Rock Gang so big that you’re not taking us small gangs seriously?” Just as we entered the door, a fatty said sinisterly.

“Yeah, that’s right, I’m not taking you seriously,” Guo Qing looked at the fatty and said plainly.

The fatty thought that he could insult Guo Qing a bit, but he didn’t think that he was insulted instead.

Ma Qiang ignored the other people, and got two clean chairs for Guo Qing and I to sit down on. Then, he stood behind us.

Ma Qiang’s action caused the other people to start silently guessing my identity. He was already a boss in Hong Kong, it was natural for him to be respectful towards Guo Qing, but what was the identity of the other person?

After we sat down, the elder on the seat of honor coughed twice and said, “Alright, the boss from every gang is here. Let’s start the meaning! It might be the first time for some people to participate in the Underworld Meeting, so I’ll introduce myself. I am the chairman of the Hong Kong Underworld Alliance in, everyone calls me Uncle Xing!”

“Ai, back in the days, we all got our territory with a knife by knife, gun by gun. It’s the peaceful era now, even young people can be bosses!” Another boss continued.

Guo Qing didn’t even look at that fellow and said, “Yeah, it’s a peaceful era. I think Boss Yao’s subordinates all lack training now. Last time, a hundred something people were got hospitalized by ten odd of my subordinates, mine didn’t even manage to warm up.”

“You!” Boss Yao instantly went speechless. Thinking about what Guo Qing said was truth, he immediately got pissed and slammed down on the table. Then he stood up and pointed at Guo Qing, “You little b̲a̲s̲t̲a̲r̲d̲, I’m telling you, don’t get full of…”

Before he finished, a cup flew over and smashed on his front teeth, instantly knocking off several of his front teeth. Boss Yao covered his bleeding gum and stuttered out something that couldn’t be heard.

Guo Qing was the one that threw the cup. After that, he said, “Sorry, when I was in school, whenever the teacher points at me, I’ll get angry, and throw something on the table in reflex, so it became a habit! How about this, later on, when the meeting is over, I’ll get someone to put on a few golden teeth for you?”

“About this…” Zhang Jiang couldn’t decide either, since the company isn’t recruiting technical talents like him.

I gazed at the person in front of me, and suddenly thought back to the scene when I first sold the technology to Microsoft, causing me to couldn’t help but be moved! This person might really have some abilities, if what he says is true, then this will be an huge step in the history of science! I reached out my hand to stop Zhang Jiang, who was about to speak and said to Sun Sikong, “Please let me have a look at your data right now!”

“Who are you? Can you make decisions?” Sun Sikong asked.

“If your research truly has value, I can naturally get Shuguang Corporation to provided necessary conditions for you!” I said with a smile.

Hearing that, Sun Sikong momentarily blanked and looked at Zhang Jiang in confusion. How can this person exaggerate like that when even the Shuguang Corporation’s managing director can’t make the decision?

Seeing that I spoke and that Sun Sikong looked towards him, he nodded, meaning that what I said was true. Zhang Jiang naturally new about my ability, because it could see the relationship between Uncle Zhao and I since I was able to get Shuguang to open a branch office in Hong Kong just due to a piece of land!

After getting Zhang Jiang’s assurance, he immediately turned his attention towards me as he quickly handed the file on the table to me.

I opened it to looked, then was shocked. What Sun Sikong was researching was actually an engine that used water as the fuel! If anyone else saw it, they would definitely think he’s crazy or an idiot, but the Animasians’ spaceship that I just saw a few days ago caused me to be shocked to no end!

This Sun Sikong’s research was actually this advanced! I continued to read it and found that Sun Sikong’s theory was extremely similar to the data that the Animasians provided me. That means that the research direction Sun Sikong was taking was right! It’s just that there are a lot of technological details that aren’t possible yet!

I continued to read and found that what Sun Sikong was researching was truly too shocking, if this was all announced to the public, there will definitely be chaos everywhere! Thus I said to Sun Sikong, “I can provide you funding, and build a laboratory according to your requirements, but you can’t join Shuguang Corporation. This is a private support from me.”

Hearing someone was willing to give him money for research, how could Sun Sikong care so much! He was a science madman himself, and treated research as his greatest joy in life, he didn’t care about other things at all, thus he replied, “No problem, as long as you provide me with research funding, I don’t care what you do with my research, it’s none of my business even if you sell it or throw it away!”

“Alright, there’s a lot of people here, come with me to where I’m staying, we’ll discuss it further!” I said to Sun Sikong.

Seeing that I was actually interested in these random things, Zhang Jiang thought it was just a sudden interest, and thus didn’t ask much about it, since I said I would spend my own money, which Zhang Jiang didn’t care about.

I stopped a cab and arrived at Guo Qing’s mansion with Sun Sikong. After we got off, I brought him straight to my room.

“Your research project is great, do you have any other research results?” I poured a cup of water for Sun Sikong and said.

“Yeah! But…” Sun Sikong hesitated and said, “These are all money burning projects, a single energy generation system would cost at least five hundred million…”

“Hehe, you don’t have to worry about the funding, since I promised you, then just throw yourself into research!” I decided to assure Sun Sikong.

Hearing that, Sun Sikong’s eyes shone brightly as he quickly took out many project plans from his briefcase and handed them to me, “I, Old Sun, is not exaggerating, as long as there is enough money, I can make anything. Just look at these, there is desert treatment; transformation of sea water into fresh water; oh there’s this as well, this is a theoretical model for a new spaceship, if it was researched into, it might become the legendary UFO; and here, these are some of my technical opinions…”

As Sun Sikong continuously introduced them to me, I was completely shocked, the person in front of me was a complete science madman! F̲u̲c̲k̲, I was truly way too lucky to meet this sort of person.

Although a lot of the projects were in the theoretical stage, it was already very impressive, since he had researched all of it by himself!

When Sun Sikong saw my shocked expression, he was definitely very proud of himself.

Yet, once I saw Sun Sikong’s smug, I felt the urge to give him a blow! At this moment, I already had the intention to get him to work for me, that’s why, if I wanted someone like him to work for me full heartedly, the best method was to prove that I was better than him. I still need him to develop something for me!

Therefore, I smiled faintly, “So they are just models! I won’t hide it from you, I am also an amateur science lover, the reason I got you to come was because I also did thorough research in terms of using water as fuel!”

When I had spent all my free time these few days browsing over all of Planet Animas’s technology. Using my extremely good memory and the theoretical knowledge I learnt in my previous life, I had already learnt all of these things. These knowledge were often based on some advance theory that I had studied in my previous life, and those advance theories from my previous life were actually just beginner knowledge! Despite that, I did manage to get the general gist of it all, but if I wanted to create these things, I did need the help of other people and Sun Sikong was a great candidate for it!

“What?” Hearing me say that, Sun Sikong immediately showed a furious expression and roared, “What do you mean by this, do you look down on me? Say it bluntly if you’re not going to invest in me, you don’t need to say this sort of thing!” Sun Sikong clearly didn’t believe in what I was saying.

I looked at Sun Sikong, who was angry, and merely took out his research on using water as a fuel very calmly, put it on the table and started explaining the things on it.

That caused Sun Sikong to slowly turn his anger into shock, and eventually endless excitement.

That was because not only did I spoke out the main theory of his research, I pointed out a lot of mistakes in the details and added on to his ideas! Of course, these were only vague things, despite the Animasians’ information was very detailed, I could only be vague about it!

“This is amazing! Amazing! Thank you so much! Come and research with me and be my assistant… No, I’ll be your assistant! This is too amazing!” Sun Sikong said to me as he noted everything I said down.

I looked at Sun Sikong’s looks and smiled wryly, “Academician Sun, I said it already, I only have it as an amateur hobby! You need to complete the research. Of course, I will put everything I know into a file for you!”

Initially, I did decide to get Chen Tianlei to come back and manage Chen’s after a deep consideration, but I was refused by him in a roundabout manner. He smiled and said, “I, an old man, finally got a day to let go of everything. What’s more, I’m going to use this chance to teach A Long a lesson!”

I couldn’t force the matter, so I could only hand Chen’s temporarily to Guo Qing. Don’t think that Guo Qing is just a mob boss, he does have a lot of proper businesses, and the management team there were all hired through headhunter companies with a high salary.

What I never would have imagined was that my revenge plan actually caused Chen Zelong, this wasteful young master, to finally learn his mistakes and chance. After a period of time, when I finally meet him again, he would be like a completely different person!

I had nothing to do after a few days, so I decided to walk around by myself. I had arrived in Hong Kong for nearly a week, yet I didn’t have time to see its scenery. When Guo Qing offered to accompany me, I refused him. The reason why simple, he looked so scary, how am I supposed to pick up girls if he scares them all away!

It was only then did I finally understood what the “new era mobs that loves the party, loves the people and loves the nation” that Guo Qing talked about is like. Guo Qing’s subordinates couldn’t have more free time, they actually went on the streets to help elders cross the road. A lot of them even put on volunteer badges and stood with the police! I completely went dumb after seeing that!

I faint, I actually caused Guo Qing to build up such a helpful and responsible organization… I wonder what other gangs in the underworld would think! What I didn’t know was that other gangs were already getting displeased. The main person of this Underworld Meeting was to deal with the Three Rock Gang’s actions!

As I walked confidently on the road, I arrived at the recruitment center for Shuguang Corporation in the city after going around a few times. It seems like Shuguang’s reputation as world wide, the only phrase you could describe the recruitment place was “ocean of people”!

I struggled to push away the people in order to get to the recruitment table. However, before I got over, a few people said in displeasure, “What are you doing! Don’t you know that you need to queue up!”

I could only smile wryly, they actually thought I can to apply! However, that’s hardly surprising, Shuguang Corporation is only hiring some marketing and sales personnel, the higher-ups and research department is sent directly from the headquarters, so the number of people they were hiring was very limited. These people naturally tried their best to get in.

Just as I felt beyond awkward, a voice rang out behind me, “Xiao Liu, why did you come?”

I turned around and found myself looking at the director of Shuguang Corporation’s Hong Kong branch office, Zhang Jiang, this person was previously Uncle Zhao’s assistant, so he naturally knew me. Although he doesn’t know my real identity, he knew that I had a great relationship with Uncle Zhao, so he was very courteous towards me. We also got more familiar with each other after Uncle Zhao told him to work with me to act out that “land selling plan” not long ago.

At this moment, the people around me have started to make way automatically, due to Zhang Jiang wearing Shuguang Corporation’s work clothes as well as his badge. How could the people that came to apply not dare to make way!

At the same time, the people that scolded me also lowered their head in embarrassment. When they saw me with most important person in Shuguang Corporation’s Hong Kong branch, they also treated me as a higher-up in Shuguang Corporation.

I didn’t think too much about it, since they didn’t do anything wrong. Thus, I walked forward with Zhang Jiang. Since Zhang Jiang was walking in front to create a path, it wasn’t difficult for us to walk through.

“What, Zhang-ge, you’re the managing director, why did you come to the recruitment place in person. Isn’t this all the job of Human Resources?” I asked casually.

“Yeah, originally, I was talking about the corporation building’s plan with a few architects in the temporary office when I got a call saying that someone here just had to see the managing director. There was no other way, which is why I came over,” Zhang Jiang shrugged and said.

I nodded, I was the one who set the rules for Shuguang’s higher-ups to treat everything seriously. Although they might not be able to be completely respectful in all situations, at least they won’t put on airs like the management in some companies, causing it to be harder to get them to do something than trying to fly into the sky.

Before we arrived at the very front, we saw a ragged shirted middle-aged man with messy hair and facial hair continuously say something in front of the recruitment table. I quickly walked up and heard the man say, “Doesn’t your corporation claim to have the most advance technology in the world, I have even more advance technology than yours here!”

The employees responsible for the recruitment could only explain, “Sorry sir, we are currently recruiting sales and marketing personnel, the personnel for the research and development department is sent here directly by the headquarters, so we have no right to interfere either!”

“I want to see the person in charge!” The middle-aged man said.

“Sir, we already notified the managing director of our branch office, he is on his way. He might be here very soon!” The employee said in a neither overbearing or overly submissive tone.

I was very pleased with his attitude, if other business meets this sort of person during their recruitment, don’t talk about helping him contact the managing director, it’s already very nice of them not to chuck him out!

Zhang Jiang also saw the situation and quickly walked over with me.

“Ai!” Zhang Jiang sighed. “It was always like this in the headquarters, there are always some people that claimed to have gotten hold of advance technology and wants to work in Shuguang Corporation using it, but most of them are just liars!”

I nodded, this sort of situation did exist. Shuguang Corporation did possess a lot of core technology that it has no put into public yet, these technologies were many years more advance than the current technological level. What made me feel happy was that these things were completely developed by the people at the headquarters, I only made some pointers for the key parts. What’s more, I also had technology from ten years later that I haven’t shown anyone, adding onto the technologies that the two aliens gave me… Basically, Shuguang Corporation could definitely remain in a technological advantage within several hundred years.

“Hello, I am the managing director of Shuguang Corporation’s branch office in Hong Kong. Sir, what business do you have with me?” Zhang Jiang asked politely.

“Oh? You are the managing director. That’s great, I was looking for you! Can you make decisions?” Hearing that the managing director arrived, the middle-aged man said excitedly.

“That depends on what it is, although I am the managing director, there are higher-ups at the corporation’s headquarters,” Zhang Jiang explained.

“Then let me tell you! I am researching a new type of fuel, if I succeed, then it can replace oil! However, what I lack now is money and laboratory equipment!” The middle-aged man took out a stack of information and said.

“About this… Sir, our Shuguang Corporation doesn’t have any business related to energy yet…” said Zhang Jiang.

“Heh, you’re just afraid that I’m a liar, right? I’m telling you, I’m called Sun Sikong, I am an academician at the International Academy of Sciences of Hong Kong. This is my work pass!” With that, the middle-aged man took out a booklet of identification onto the table and continued. “What I need now is funding, a large amount of research funding for my research. I can give you all my results products, all I need is enough research funding and a good lab for me to work in!”

Chen Tianlei stared at me blankly, then said after a while, “From the amount of funds you have, I can guess that you aren’t just a bit influential in the mainland. Perhaps you don’t care about my company, and your purpose is just to take revenge for your fiancé. Never mind, Chen’s Corporation is yours now, do what you want with it!” It was as if Chen Tianlei saw through my thoughts.

With that, Chen Tianlei started packing up his stuff. Meanwhile, I also felt into deep thoughts. At that moment, my gaze stopped on a photo on Chen Tianlei’s desk that was about to be put away!

“Mr. Chen, this photo…” I pointed at the photo with a bit of shock, because the background of the photo was a small alleyway near the market place in Songjiang city. Chen Weier’s family lived there. The night Chen Weier and I hugged was in that alleyway! That’s why I was exceptionally familiar with it!

Hearing my question, Chen Tianlei quietly picked up the photo and wiped away the dust on it. He took a deep breath and said a bit nostalgically, “This photo was taken in my hometown was I was younger. It’s of my little brother and I!”

My question brought up Chen Tianlei’s memories. While he was the corporation chairman, he didn’t have the time to think back on all that, now, he has nothing else to do, and so he started thinking back to the time back in the days. Therefore, he continued, “Back then, my family was poor and couldn’t afford to support two children. That’s why I left my hometown and got smuggled to Hong Kong with my friends. At the start, I was just a worker at the docks, then I went to build buildings for other people with my friends. After I got some money, I started getting my own team of people to build stuff. I never would have thought that in several tens of years, I managed to get something done… I just don’t know if the people in my family are well, it’s been several tens of years, I’ve always been busy. I really wanted to go back before, but I didn’t have the time. Now that I have nothing to do, I should go back and see! I can tell from you that mainland’s economy is great, the people are rich, I wonder how my younger brother is, he should have a family already…” Chen Tianlei muttered to me.

“I… am also from Songjiang…” I suddenly felt that something wasn’t right as a thought flashed across my mind. Yet, it was a bit vague, so I couldn’t take hold of it.

“Ah!” Chen Tianlei momentarily blanked, then looked at me with a bit of surprise as he said in an excited manner, “You’re from Songjiang? It seems like the people at home have gotten rich! Then I don’t need to worry!”

I could only smile wryly. Poor people were everywhere, me being rich doesn’t mean that everyone is rich. However, the people’s living standards did improve quite a bit!

“Oh yeah, do you know Chen Tianyu?” Chen Tianlei suddenly asked.

Chen Tianyu! This was what I tried my hardest to grasp, but failed at just now! I was shocked in my heart, and could guess the relationship between them, it seems like this really is going to be difficult!

That’s because, this Chen Tianyu is one of my father-in-law, Chen Weier’s father!

Although I had hoped that it was only a coincidental name, I fear this might be the truth! Chen Weier’s family lived there, and Chen Tianyu had mentioned to me before that he had an older brother that swam to Hong Kong!

Since it became like this, I had nothing more to hide, so I just said, “I know one that’s thirty-eight years old, and lives near the market place. I wonder if that’s the person you’re asking about?”

“That’s right, he’s thirty-eights years old this year. I used to live near the market place! You… You know my younger brother!” Chen Tianlei said in surprise. “How is he!”

“He’s very well, he just had his kidney changed a few years ago, and it was very successful. He also recovered very well. Right now, he opened a restaurant with his wife back home, which has very good business. They already turned it into a franchise all over Songjiang province!” I said.

“What, he was sick? But it’s good that he recovered, not bad, not bad at all. My little brother managed to do something!” Chen Tianlei said happily, sweeping away all of the said emotions he had before.

“That’s not right… How do you know about it in such detail? What… What is your relationship with him!” Chen Tianlei was too busy with getting happy just now that he didn’t notice the fact that even if people lived in the same city, how could one person know about the other person in so much detail? Now that he thought of it, he asked with a strange expression.

“Chen Tianyu is my father-in-law,” I didn’t hide it from him.

“What! He’s your father-in-law! That… that means that A Long hit his young sister with his car!” Chen Tianlei’s expression turned even more strange. It was difficult for anyone to accept this coincidence.

“No… The one he hit is one of my wives…” I explained.

“Oh!” Chen Tianlei suddenly understood. With his current position, he wasn’t surprise about me having a few wives. However, he just got more confused about my identity. Chen Tianlei knew that the F&B industry was very profitable, both real estate and the F&B industries had huge profits. Technically speaking, Chen Tianyu’s family must be very rich. That means that the young man, me, who was their son-in-law definitely wouldn’t have a normal background, he could tell that from me casually spending a few billion to take over Chen’s Corporation.

“Ai! It’s all because of the damn b̲a̲s̲t̲a̲r̲d̲ A Long, this time we fought among ourselves, speaking of which, we are essentially relatives… Never mind, I lost, alright, I’ll stop blabbering on. I’ll take this chance to go back and see Songjiang, and see my piece on the way,” said Chen Tianlei.

This was the result I least wanted to see. I, who has already decided to screw them over completely, could not continue anymore. No matter what, I can’t keep making life difficult for Chen Tianlei and co. due to Chen Weier. As I watched Chen Tianlei leave, I suddenly felt a bit lost.

In the Chen family home.

When Chen Tianlei called Chen Zelong to the study, Chen Zelong walked in while looking down in depression.

“A Long, our Chen family failed. Right now, Chen’s Corporation has already become someone else’s property!” Chen Tianlei did want to teach his son a lesson, so using this chance, he decided to exaggerate the truth and force Chen Zelong to learn something.

“Dad, I know my mistakes…” Chen Zelong murmured. “Dad, don’t we still have money, we can start over all!”

“There’s none left, we have nothing left! Dad used the shares in his hand to repay the loan from the bank, since a lot of loans were made using my name, I had to return it!” Chen Tianlei bullshitted.

“What! We have nothing left!?” Chen Zelong said in disbelief.

“Yeah, nothing left! Including the mansion we’re living in right now. It will no longer be ours tomorrow!” Chen Tianlei said.

Hearing that, Chen Zelong immediately went dumb. He never would have thought that his mistake would cause such a devastating disaster for Chen’s! It was only at this point that Chen Zelong finally understood the difference between him and the other person.

Thus, Chen Tianlei and Chen Zelong bought tickets the next morning and flew back to Songjiang.

After a while, Chen Tianlei pushed open the door and entered into the meeting room. Seeing that so many people were inside, he was very surprised, so he asked in confusion, “Why is everyone here?”

“Mr. Chen, didn’t you notify us of the board meeting?”

“Yeah, Mr. Chen, since you came now, what exactly is going on!” Everyone asked.

Chen Tianlei was also very confused, so he said, “I didn’t notify anyone!”

“Alright, everybody, stop guessing, I notified you guys to come! Since everyone is here, then let’s begun!” My voice rang out in the meeting room. Although I didn’t use a very loud voice, a put a hint of my mental energy in, so everyone in the meeting room heard it unusually clearly.

Only at that moment did Chen Tianlei realize that a young man, who was also the one that spoke just now, was actually sitting on his seat!

No matter how good Chen Tianlei’s temper is, he got mad immediately! He said to me with red face and ears, “Who are you! What did you come to our Chen’s Corporation for? We don’t welcome you here, please leave immediately, otherwise, I’m going to be merciless! This is messing around!”

“Oh? If taking over Chen’s Corporation is messing around, then please tell me, Mr. Chen, what is important? Is it your darling son getting disadvantaged in the mainland, or is it losing over two billion several days ago?” I mocked.

“You! Who… Who exactly are you? Why do you know all this!” Chen Tianlei pointed at me and asked in shock.

“Who am I? I’m sure you’re definitely not unfamiliar with me,, I’m called Liu Lei,” I said calmly.

“What, you are Liu Lei! Wow, just wow! You’re so amazing at just a young age! However… Heng, I still didn’t go and find you for the last few things, and you actually came to cause trouble at our corporation!” Hearing that the person in front of him was the person that screwed over Chen’s big time, Chen Tianlei couldn’t help but be surprised. He really couldn’t imagine that this person that seemed to be even younger than Chen Zelong actually caused Chen’s to lose more than two billion! He couldn’t help but sigh quietly, he should gave had a son that was like the person in front of him, his own son, A Long, wasn’t even as amazing as ten thousandth of him! However, that was merely a praise, the person in front of him was still his enemy.

“Didn’t I already tell you, I came to take over Chen’s Corporation. If you think that I’m just messing around, then I can’t help it, Chairman Chen, oh, it should be ex-Chairman Chen!” I mocked.

“Take over? What do you mean… I know, so the person that targeted Chen’s stocks was you!” Chen Tianlei pointed at me and yelled.

“That’s right, it is this one. Sorry about that,” I shrugged.

Chen Tianlei immediately let out a sigh of relief and said calmly, “Even if you bought all the shares in the market, it’s only forty percent. Our Chen family has over fifty one percent of the shares and the remaining nine percent is in the hands of all these shareholders. You are only entering Chen’s, and one of our major shareholders! Yet, according to Chen’s regulations, the chairman decides everything that occurs in the corporation, the shareholders have no say, and are only entitled to dividends!”

“Oh, that’s even better, than I’ll be the only one in charge, so other people don’t need to cause trouble!” I smiled.

“Young man, didn’t you hear it clearly, our Chen family owns fifty one percent of the shares, no matter what, you can’t possibly be the majority shareholder!” Chen Tianlei said to me. However, as he said it, he felt an indescribable nervousness in his heart.

“Perhaps before, but I wonder if you are now?” I casually took out a file from my briefcase and said.

“What do you mean by this!” Chen Tianlei said with a sullen voice.

“Wouldn’t you know if you asked your darling son?” I laughed coldly and said.

Chen Tianlei’s expression darkened, but he still took out his phone and dialed Chen Zelong’s number. However, before he even said too much, his expression worsened. When he hung up his phone, Chen Tianlei pressed down on his chest and fell limply onto the sofa as he took deep breaths.

“Mr. Chen, what happened?” The shareholders quickly stood up and surrounded Chen Tianlei.

The one I targeted was Chen Zelong, although Chen Tianlei is his father, there wasn’t any major grudges between us. No matter what, he’s an old man that’s nearly sixty, I didn’t want anything to happen to him! Thus, I stood up and walked towards Chen Tianlei.

“What do you want to do!” Seeing that I went over, the shareholders all stood in front of me.

“If you don’t want anything to happen to him, then move away!” I completely ignored them, and pushed away the crowd to arrive by Chen Tianlei’s side.

I knew that Chen Tianlei didn’t have any major diseases, his heart just wasn’t in too good of a shape due to the stress, if it wasn’t dealt with in a timely manner, it might threaten his life.

I raised my hand and placed it on Chen Tianlei’s chest and silently used my powers to slowly relax his muscles.

That caused Chen Tianlei’s expression to slowly improve. Then, he let out a long sigh and said to me, “Thank you, young man! I didn’t think that you would know qigong as well!”

I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He actually thought my superpower was qigong! However, this is fine, it prevents people from getting suspicious.

After a long while, Chen Tianlei said slowly, “I lost! Chen’s is yours from now on! Come with me to my office, young man, I’ll hand the things over to you! Ai, I’m old and my son isn’t managing it. This business is going to be someone else’s sooner or later. Now I can finally put down the burden! The old man, I, will just peacefully be a shareholder!” Chen Tianlei seemed to age a lot in an instant, since nobody would stay calm after feeling the difference between heaven and earth.

I sighed, but didn’t say anything. Since ancient times, plenty of rich people’s properties were lost in the hands of the next generation! They say that you can’t stay rich for more than the third generations, now, it’s often the second.

Technically speaking, changing chairman of the corporation can only occur after the previous chairman hands everything over properly to the current one, and there is a handover phase, which lasts between a few days to a month. However, Chen Tianlei was too ashamed to face the people that has worked with him from the start, he only wanted to speed up the handover, then leave.

Chen Tianlei looked at the desk and chair that he has used for several tens of years and felt emotions rush up. He slowly walked in front of the safe, and opened it with trembling hands, then took out a few folders and a laptop. He turned to me and said, “These are a few important documents, it’s done if you just sign it, just leave the rest for the corporation’s lawyers. Within this laptop is the accounts of Chen’s all these years as well as the important customers’ details. I’m handing it to you know, I hope Chen’s Corporation will shine in your hands…”

Looking at the scene in front of me. I felt rather reluctant. My intention was to take apart the assets that can be sold like that, or just sell them directly if I can’t in order to at least get back my thirty billion. The purpose was just to screw over Chen Zelong. I didn’t think that much at all!

Yet, looking at the expression of the old man in front of me, I started hesitating again.
