Yun Shen clenched his fist. Just like him, he was her biological son, yet she treated him as a tool for revenge, reduced him to his current state. He really wanted to ask her, what did he actually mean to her in her heart? But he dared not; he had been afraid of her since he was young, afraid of this woman... The words reached his lips but he swallowed them back down. After Yun Shu left, he began to deal with the company’s affairs. Yun’s was now the largest real estate group in the country, and as the President, he was so busy every day that he hardly touched the ground and had to work as soon as he got back. Regarding Ji Huaixi’s will, he had inquired with several of the company’s old shareholders, who were basically clueless. Even if Ji Huaixi did leave behind a will, after so many years, Ji’s had long disappeared in the river of time, leaving only Yun’s. Therefore, even if there was a will, it had no legal effect anymore, not worth fearing at all. Liang Yu called, "President Yun, I’ve sent you Zhuanyi International’s proposal. Take a look, please, and if it’s acceptable, we’ll schedule a time to meet with Zhuanyi’s head." Zhuanyi International was an internationally renowned investment group known for their financial investments, complemented by non-financial investments, capital operations, asset management, financial research, offering social and economic consulting services. With the financial industry at its core, it covered banking, trust, securities, funds, insurance, asset management, financial services, pharmaceuticals, and other fields, owning prestigious brands and characteristic services. It was just that recently Zhuanyi International had shifted its industries back to the domestic market, and its first investment project had caused a stir in the domestic financial sector. Many eyes were watching, wanting to secure this coveted opportunity. However, the only ones domestically with the capacity to partner with it were Shenghua, Huanyu, and Yun’s. Although Yun’s had seen significant development in real estate over the years, it was still a step behind the extensive enterprises of Shenghua and the wealthy and powerful Huanyu. Only by securing a partnership with Zhuanyi International could they firmly surpass them. Therefore, the partnership with Zhuanyi International was something he had to achieve. Liang Yu waited for Yun Shen’s call and then immediately phoned Zhuanyi International’s head overnight. In the presidential suite of a five-star hotel in the Capital City, Qin Du hung up the phone and turned to the towering figure standing by the window. "The fish has bitten the hook." The man swirled the red wine in his hand before emptying it in one gulp. "Heh... having waited so many years, we finally reach this day." Looking up at the myriad of lights outside the window, those calm eyes were tinged with a trace of solitude. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on novᴇlfire.net All these years, where have you been? His eyes grew dim with melancholy, and he said faintly, "Tomorrow, we’ll go to Jiangzhou early. I want to see Yun Ya." Qin Du nodded, "I’ve already talked to Yun Ya in advance." Qin Du looked at the lean and lonely figure with a soft sigh. Surely there are those who pine with love in this world... In a dark alley, a fierce fight was underway. "Fuck..., we’ve been ambushed." After chopping off an arm, the man viciously spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva, his wolf-like eyes suddenly emitting a fierce and cold glint. "Brother Yuesheng, you go first. We’ll hold them off here. Go back and bring reinforcements to save us." A short and thin man forcefully pushed him and turned to shout at him. "Stop talking nonsense, let’s break through and discuss later. I refuse to believe in this evil," he roared as his killing intent overflowed. His entire being seemed like the descent of a death god, slashing left and right, tearing a gap in the encircling circle. "Stick close to me. I’ll count to three, and we’ll break out together." The last few remaining men drew near, nodding silently to each other. Just then, a black sedan stopped nearby, and a lean young man got out, bending over as he emerged from the car. He was dressed in a grey knitted sweater and light-blue jeans, appearing as innocent and well-behaved as the boy next door. A man in black handed him a wooden stick, which the youth took and slowly approached. Dark clouds obscured the moon, casting the land into darkness and also masking the deep hostility in the youth’s eyes. "Third Young Master..." On seeing the newcomer, everyone halted their actions and respectfully bowed. The youth smiled lightly, his delicate and fair face looking exceptionally obedient and compliant. Lifting the wooden stick, he pointed at the tall man with a dark face and a scar, his thin lips curling slightly, "If you can step over my body today, I’ll let you go." Yuesheng had already guessed the youth’s identity: Ning Zijin’s cousin and the future Family Head chosen by Ning Zijin. The youth had recently been accepted back into the Ning Family as an illegitimate child. No one had high hopes for him, but unexpectedly, he was a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
