Chapter 1359 - 1357: The Mastermind Revealed
Sitting in the car, Yang Chen let out a long sigh, accompanied by a strong smell of alcohol.
With his capacity for drinking, simply drinking and competing with these people was no problem at all, not to mention he could expel the alcohol from his body.
"How was it?" Night Fire looked at Yang Chen through the rearview mirror.
Yang Chen smiled faintly and said, "Found out, this person is called Wang Er, but is not the final instigator. The real mastermind is someone else! Tomorrow, we’ll come again and figure out who the real mastermind is."
Gao Hong said excitedly, "Should I take action and deal with him?"
Yang Chen frowned slightly, glanced at Gao Hong, and said coldly, "Remember! This is in the country! It’s not a place where you can just act recklessly! Have you forgotten why you went inside back then?"
Gao Hong shrank his head and said no more.
"These are not criminals; at most, they are using improper means for competition. This is a marketplace issue, not a battlefield!" Yang Chen continued to lecture Gao Hong.
When Gao Hong was in the Guard, he had the character of seeking revenge for the smallest grievance, and it’s still the same now. Always solving issues with force is not feasible.
Flame Country is a law-abiding society, not a dark place like Lijia Continent!
"Yes!" Gao Hong responded, feeling an immense difference compared to Night Fire and the others, eager to prove himself in front of Yang Chen.
Yang Chen said, "Today, let’s rest at the hotel. Once we find out who the mastermind is, we’ll go to Longyu Group!"
"Yes!" Night Fire nodded.
In the hotel.
The three of them reserved a suite and rested separately.
The next day.
After breakfast in the early morning, Yang Chen drove Night Fire and Gao Hong around Ancheng, observing the progress of Ancheng’s development.
North Ring business district.
Since several families have fallen into the hands of Longyu Group, the entire area of North Ring belongs to Longyu Group, so after re-planning, it’s bigger in scale than before and develops faster.
On the east side, development is also very rapid; the strength of Baisheng Real Estate is undeniable.
After wandering around, it was already noon.
Yang Chen said to Gao Hong, "You see, Ancheng is a place in rapid development and once built up, it could squeeze into the first-tier cities. But my goal is not merely first-tier cities; it’s super-first-tier cities, even international metropolises! There’s still a long way to go. Since you’ve come here with me, your main objective isn’t fighting, but contributing to Ancheng’s construction, understand?"
"Understood!" Gao Hong’s eyes sparkled with the fire of battle.
Listening to Yang Chen’s introduction, he understood that Ancheng was Yang Chen’s domain!
Like ancient lords dominating regions!
Even Jin Chen couldn’t intervene in Ancheng, allowing them to build however they wanted!
Such a place is an excellent venue for showcasing talents!
Gao Hong saw his opportunity here too!
He must complete all tasks to prove himself to Yang Chen, so he resolved to work hard!
Gao Hong clenched his fist, making up his mind in his heart.
At three in the afternoon.
Liu Jiang called Yang Chen.
At yesterday’s dinner, Yang Chen had left his phone number with Liu Jiang.
After receiving the call, Yang Chen immediately set off with Night Fire and Gao Hong.
Little Nan Country.
They chose this venue.
To say, Little Nan Country’s consumption level does not match their identities.
They were just basic level employees, with a monthly salary of only four to five thousand, even less.
Yet, the consumption level at Little Nan Country is at least around five thousand, easily exceeding tens of thousands or even more!
Seeing Little Nan Country, Yang Chen was even more certain it was the action of Wang Er’s superior.
If these people invited that person here, they absolutely couldn’t afford it, nor would they invite!
They are just workers trying to support families, impossible to severely lower their living standards for one person.
Upon arrival, Yang Chen found a concealed corner to park, letting the two wait in the car for his call anytime.
Subsequently, Yang Chen got out and headed towards the main entrance.
"Hello sir, do you have a reservation?" The attendant at the door stopped Yang Chen.
Entering Little Nan Country requires a reservation; not just anyone can enter.
Yang Chen said, "There’s a reservation, a room booked by Wang Er."
The attendant checked the notebook and immediately replied respectfully, "Third floor, Peach Blossom Hall."
Yang Chen walked in, with the door opened for him, bowing, saying welcome.
Glancing at Little Nan Country’s interior decor, Yang Chen took out his phone to call Liu Jiang to see if he should wait for him.
Making the call, Liu Jiang indeed hadn’t arrived yet, telling Yang Chen to wait for a while.
About twenty minutes later, Liu Jiang finally arrived belatedly.
He entered, catching his breath, apologized, "Sorry, traffic was awful, really congested!"
Yang Chen chuckled, "I just got here too."
Liu Jiang started complaining, "You wouldn’t believe how clogged it was just now! This attendant, really a capitalist visage, wouldn’t let me in without a reservation. I had to mention Wang Er’s name to get through, and the doorman even bowed to us! Oh, this decor, magnificent, feels like I’m in a palace!"
Little Nan Country’s decor style leans traditional, mixed with a splendid appearance, giving a palace-like feel.
"Have they arrived?" Yang Chen asked.
"Probably not yet! Let’s not worry about them and rest in the room first."
The two got on the elevator, arriving at the third floor, Peach Blossom Hall.
The room was already occupied by Wang Er.
The people around him were the same as yesterday, without the emergence of the mastermind.
After exchanging greetings, they sat down and continued to wait.
After half an hour, Liu Jiang was somewhat impatient, "Wang Er, when is your invitee arriving? They’ve already rotated passes three times!"
The others were utterly bored, beginning to play cards in the room.
Wang Er chuckled helplessly, "Brother Liu, as I mentioned earlier, this person’s status isn’t ordinary, genuinely busy. Finding time today is already giving a lot of face. If outsiders tried to reach him, he probably wouldn’t give any face!"
Liu Jiang resigned himself to wait longer.
Another half hour passed.
Wang Er glanced at his phone, immediately excited, "Here they come!"
As Wang Er spoke, someone pushed the door open.
"President Zhao!" Wang Er immediately stood to greet.
The others also rose and sized up this middle-aged man, echoing Wang Er, "Hello, President Zhao!"
Zhao Ze waved and smiled, "No need for such formalities; forget about the President Zhao title, you can call me Zhao Ze. I just run a small business, mediocre at best."
Nevertheless, a trace of arrogance seeped through his words.
Wang Er stood up and promptly said, "Please sit down first, take your time with today’s matters."
But at this moment, the room door suddenly slammed open.
Soon after, a large group of people poured in.
Yang Chen was taken aback!
What was going on, is this a robbery?
