C269 A Dowry
However, according to what Uncle Cui said, the person who bribed him was not the Xue family.
Although he had asked the Zhang family to cooperate with Faang Yuan to search and suppress the thief who robbed the car, he had not found out the origin of the thief yet.
Including the people from Yanjing who hired Wu Tao and a few other private detectives, it seemed that more and more people were staring at the information on the Health Potion.
Thinking about it, Xiao Chen did not stay any longer in the headquarters of the Dragonwing Hall.
Taking advantage of the dawn to rush back to Half Mountain Villa, he took a long time to send Chu Huaiyu to work.
Knowing that he was going to leave again, Chu Huaiyu was obviously a little emotional, but she knew that it was related to the Beauty Pill, so she did not say anything.
However, knowing that his destination was Shangyu, before entering the company, she asked if Lingling would go with him.
"I don't know either. I still have to go back and ask her, see what she says!"
"How many days will it take?"
"Why do you care about this all of a sudden? Are you starting to miss me now?"
Xiao Chen chuckled and looked deeply into her eyes. He said half-jokingly.
Chu Huaiyu's mouth curled up when he teased her. She rolled her eyes. She snorted and shook her head and ignored him.
"Anyway, once it's over, I'll rush back immediately. If you miss me too much, you're welcome to call me anytime."
Xiao Chen shouted from behind and waved at Chu Huaiyu's back enthusiastically.
The moment he shouted, the people in and out of the company were immediately attracted. Many of them laughed mischievously.
Chu Huaiyu's eyes widened, scaring the group of hehehe fellows to immediately shrink their necks and hurriedly turn their heads away.
Watching her walk into the lobby, Xiao Chen then drove back to the courtyard of Hua Manor.
He told the news that he was going to Shangyu to his family and at the same time asked about Lingling's intentions.
However, he had just been kicked out of the Ling family's house. If he went back now, he would definitely be laughed at by those people in the circle.
After pondering for a while, Lingling still waved her hand.
Xiao Chen did not insist. He took a plane and left from the Golden Orchid in the morning. He arrived at the Shangyu after noon.
It was Ruan Xiangjun who picked him up at the airport.
The people who came this time were all top scientists in the world. The organizers naturally would not neglect them and booked a hotel early in the morning.
Since Xiao Chen was also one of the representatives at the meeting, of course he had received the news long ago.
However, before going to the hotel, Xiao Chen first made a trip to the Green Society's headquarters.
Now that the Green Society had been destroyed, almost all of the businesses under their banner had been taken over by the Red Association.
As for those underground that couldn't be exposed, they had been cleaned up by the Dragonwing Hall.
Currently, most of the Green Society had already been divided up by the Red Association and the Dragonwing Hall.
Of course, this was also Ruan Hongyu's decision. Otherwise, it wouldn't be easy for the Dragonwing Hall to get a share of the pie.
Currently, the main branch of the Green Society had become the branch of the Dragonwing Hall's Shangyu.
The person in charge was the only senior elder of the Dragonwing Hall besides Jiaang Chong, Mu Yongjian.
He was about the same age as Jiang Loong, but he was obviously weaker.
After learning that Xiao Chen had arrived, he personally welcomed him at the entrance. Then, he led the way and led Xiao Chen into the living room.
"My little life is not bad!"
"Sir, you must be joking. I only repaired this place briefly."
"Don't be nervous. I just came to take a look." Xiao Chen saw Moo Yongjian's nervousness and waved his hand.
After all, this place was his property now. If he did not show his face, some people might have some evil thoughts.
After roughly looking through the accounts in the branch, it was already evening.
Moo Yongjian had already booked a restaurant, but he didn't have time to invite him.
Du du, the sound of a whistle suddenly came from outside the door.
An old man got out of the car, holding a walking stick and bowing to Xiao Chen with a flattering smile on his face.
"Master Xiao has come a long way. I have ordered some people to prepare some thin wine. Master, please give me some."
The old man was the person with the highest authority in Ye family, Ye Sui's grandfather - Ye JinYuan.
This was not the first time Xiao Chen had met him. After all, this old man was the one who caused a huge ruckus in Ye family.
It was precisely because of this that the old man personally came to invite him.
The Ye family and the Muh family had the deepest understanding of Xiao Chen's identity.
They had colluded with Master Yun. Although they had already paid the compensation and apologized, they still had no confidence in themselves. They were afraid that Xiao Chen would come and settle the score with them in the future.
Of course, Xiao Chen also knew what the old man was thinking. He swept his eyes across the old man.
That pair of cold eyes, however, always made Ye Qin feel as if his back was pressing against his back. The smile on his face became even brighter.
"We have an appointment tonight."
"Of course we can't mess up your arrangements. This Ye will hold another banquet another day. Master, please give this Ye a chance!"
Ye JinYuan immediately smiled and respectfully retreated after saying that. Before he left, he even greeted Moo Yongjian.
Moo Yongjian took a deep breath. It had been more than a month in Shangyu, and this was the first time Ye JinYuan had looked him in the eye.
When he looked at Xiao Chen's motionless face, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
"As expected, Mister is Mister. Fortunately, I didn't listen to those bastards' egging back then!"
He silently muttered in his heart, but he was unable to conceal that feeling of relief. He became even more determined to follow Xiao Chen all the way.
Knowing that Xiao Chen still had an appointment at night, Moo Yongjian personally acted as the driver for Xiao Chen. The car drove all the way to the Ruan family villa.
Facing Ruan Hongyu, the leader of the Red Meeting in the southeast, Xiao Chen seemed very calm.
On the contrary, Ruan Xiangjun was a little reserved. She stood by the side and kept rubbing the corner of her clothes, occasionally looking at her mother's face.
Ruan Hongyu did not look at her. She only looked at Xiao Chen's face with a pair of judgmental eyes.
This was also the first time they had met so close. The silent atmosphere carried an unusually solemn meaning.
Ruan Xiangjun, who was watching from the side, could not help pursing her lips and hurriedly gave her mother a look.
However, Ruan Hongyu acted as if she did not see it.
As for Xiao Chen, he leisurely sat there and did not make a sound. He used a similar gaze to look at Ruan Hongyu's face.
After a while, he raised his arm and handed the teacup in front of him to his mouth.
At the same time, Ruan Hongyu also withdrew her gaze and calmly opened her mouth.
"You have already taken a look just now. Are you satisfied with the dowry I prepared for Jun'er?"
"Pffft, Xiao Chen almost spat out that mouthful of tea.
He had thought of countless possibilities, but he never expected that the first thing Ruan Hongyu would say would be this.
Gulp. Gulp. He swallowed the tea and wiped the corner of his mouth. Xiao Chen frowned and looked at Ruan Hongyu's face.
"CEO Ruan, what do you mean by this? What dowry? Why can't I understand what you're saying at all?"
